Nancy Bepple quit council in March, citing a health issue. Yesterday (Sept. 24), Bepple announced her candidacy in the Nov. 15 civic election, while refusing to comment on what compelled her to leave office.

Bepple wants back on city council ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Nancy Bepple is confident she can stay the course for four years if voters decide to return her to her former council seat this November. Bepple resigned from Kamloops city council in March of this year, cutting short her second term in office due to what she said were chronic health issues. Her press conference on the steps of

city hall yesterday (Sept. 24) was the first time she has discussed her departure with the media. “I had some health issues, but what’s important is I’m back, I’m healthy and I’m here to work for the people of Kamloops,” Bepple said, refusing to elaborate on what specific health issue compelled her to quit council. Further questions from media on her break from council were met with variations of the same answer.

Bepple said she believes she can manage her health issues for the duration of the new four-year municipal-government term. “What’s more important is I want to do the things I was always doing,” she said. “I talk about some big issues, but it’s really the small things, like helping a senior get their yard waste removed by city crews or getting a path graded up to Oak Hills so someone in a wheelchair can get up that path.” See BEPPLE, page A7

Police witnesses who offered contradicting evidence about what they were doing when two intoxicated women engaged in sex acts in a Kamloops RCMP jail cell more than four years ago are “at the same time blowing and sucking” when their testimony is compared to video surveillance, a judge has heard. Crown prosecutor Winston Sayson made that argument in his closing submissions in RCMP Cpl. Rick Brown’s trial in B.C. Supreme Court on one count of breach of trust by a public officer. “When you put two and two together, it is four,” Sayson said. “That is, they were there being amused. It is the mere watching for a purpose other than the public good that makes this a criminal offence.” Brown was watch commander in the early-morning hours of Aug. 18, 2010, making him the de facto head

of the Kamloops RCMP detachment. Brown was in charge when two drunk female prisoners began engaging in sex acts in a jail cell and, according to the Crown, he invited a number of other officers to view the sex acts with him on a closedcircuit monitor. “The actions of the accused in failing to stop them, because he was watching them, is what causes this case to cross into the criminal realm,” Sayson said.

Letters will be going home this week from secondary schools explaining grade placements for students this year. Kamloops-Thompson school district assistant superintendent Alison Sidow said because of the strike/lockout of teachers, final marks from the 20132014 school year are not available for students and no report cards were sent home. Instead, the letters will tell families what the grade placements of students will be and, in the cases of those who might need some assistance, a request will be made to meet with school officials to devise a plan. For example, Sidow said, a student who may have failed Grade 8 math might need some extra help or be asked to complete additional work to make up the deficit. While the Surrey school district has decided to simply pass all grades 8 and 9 students into their subsequent grades, arguing 98 per cent traditionally pass, Sidow said the Kamloops-Thompson district wants schools to review each student’s file and ensure any educational issues are identified. To help with this, extra counsellors have been sent to schools that require some staffing help to deal with the work as it is to be completed by the end of this week. Otherwise, Sidow said, the return to school after the five-week labour impasse, which saw the first day of the 2014-2015 school year arrive on Monday, Sept. 15 — two weeks later than planned — has been smooth. Sidow said one other major priority, beyond getting a final count of student numbers, is to ensure all timetables are complete for secondary students.

TRU is hosting a forum tomorrow (Sept. 26) that will explore implications of the recent Supreme Court of Canada that gives First Nations a more say on resource decisions. Among panelists at the 6 p.m. forum at the university’s Irving K. Barber Centre is Joe Alphonse, tribal chairman with the Tsilhqot’in

National Government. Justices of the Supreme Court of Canada unanimously ruled in June the Tsilhqot’in have aboriginal title to 2,000 square kilometres in the remote Nemiah Valley in the Chilcotin, noting First Nations aren’t required to prove aboriginal title on specific properties on a case-by-case basis.

REPORT: BIG AJAX COSTS economic gain at $2.2 billion. It points to remediation as a major issue, citing closed mines that are environmental hazards, including Giant mine in Yellowknife. “Many of these hidden costs will be created from increased health care, losses to existing commerce, environmental damage and clean-up operations, as well as losses to the community in redirected government funding,” the release stated. KGHM Ajax forecasts it will file its application for environmental approval for the mine — to be located directly south of the Aberdeen and Pineview neighbourhoods — by the first quarter of next year.

Costs from increased health care, loss of commerce and environmental damage will outweigh by nearly three times economic benefits from the proposed Ajax mine, according to a report co-authored by former TRU business professor and a city medical specialist. The report from Dennis Karpiak, an internal medicine and respiratory specialist, and Ken Blawatt, a retired Thompson Rivers University professor, is slated to be released on Friday, Sept. 26. A press release said the report concluded the mine could cost $40,000 per person in Kamloops. The report tallies the costs of the mine as high as $6.28 billion, while it pegged the

In his submissions, Sayson said prisoners need to be treated respectfully — not objectified by their jailers. “We expect our loved ones who are taken into custody will be treated with dignity and respect,” he said. “Their sexuality and bodily integrity must not become the officers’ gallows humour.” Sayson started his closing arguments by stating the case against Brown had been overshadowed in the media by witness testimony about the inner workings of the Kamloops RCMP detachment as it was in 2010 — namely, that it was being headed by “an extreme bully,” as former Mountie Gary Kerr testified — in then-Insp. Yves Lacasse. “Despite the media coverage of the case, this is not a case about Lacasse or the working conditions of the RCMP detachment in 2010,” Sayson said, describing police officers as “good people” who deal with many difficult situations on behalf of the public. “The Crown does not seek perfection from our public officers and the Crown does not seek to criminalize indiscretions.”

But, Sayson added, Brown’s actions became criminal when he failed to stop the sex acts and instead invited others to watch. “Cpl. Brown, watching the women have sex in the jail cell, was corrupt,” Sayson said. “It was a spectacle of seven men crowded into a small room to watch the monitors. Brown did not intervene . . . because to do so would end the live entertainment.” Throughout Sayson’s submissions, he was interrupted often by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Selwyn Romilly, who in his questioning appeared skeptical of the Crown’s case. Romilly also expressed skepticism before the trial began. At a pre-trial conference last month, he requested a special hearing to determine whether the trial should even proceed. Sayson successfully argued the Crown’s prosecutorial discretion allowed for prosecutors to decide which charges are pursued and how. In his submissions, defence lawyer Glen Orris attacked Sayson’s two-plus-two assertion, accusing him of asking Romilly to cherry-pick evidence from Crown witnesses to prove its case. “You end up with four, but only if you ignore one, two, three, five, six, seven, eight, nine and

10,” Orris said. “And, anything else you choose to ignore.” Orris pointed to a Supreme Court of Canada decision that states breach of trust by a public officer can only be proved when the Crown can prove there was “a serious and marked departure” from the accused’s duty. Court heard there were no RCMP guidelines in place at the time governing what to do when two prisoners began engaging in sex acts. “There are no standards, there are no guidelines,” Orris said. “The standards, I say, ultimately, are reasonableness.” “In the circumstances, he was required to do what was reasonable — and he did so.” If anything, Orris said, Brown and the other officers were following police protocol because prisoners are supposed to be monitored around the clock. “The Crown has failed to prove any wrongdoing,” Orris said. “The evidence does not establish even a wrongful act, let alone a criminal offence.” Brown has been on paid administrative leave from the RCMP since August 2010. Romilly is expected to give his decision on Oct. 9.

Hearing on health care set for Sunday at TRU DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Rick Turner wants to see more eyes watching the ongoing legal battle between the provincial government and Dr. Brian Day. Turner, co-chair of the B.C. Health Coalition, said Day, co-owner of Vancouver’s Cambie Surgery Centre, is taking the province to court over his right to privately bill patients as a right. Turner has organized a town-hall public forum for Sunday, Sept. 28, to address the sanctity of the country’s

CDM, said the public should be concerned about Day’s case because it is based on the fact “we live in a capitalist system and it says if you have money, then you can do whatever you want.” She questioned Day’s public characterization of the lawsuit, which has a focus on his goal being to give patients the right to access a private system. Fuller noted the legal documents filed that started the saga in 2009 “are all about him having a right to bill.” This is not the first time the public health-care system has been the focus of such a challenge.

The Canadian and Ontario medical associations launched one in 1985, Fuller said, but it was dropped. “Because the doctors saw that they looked greedy,” she said. A doctor was successful in pursuing a similar challenge in Quebec, but the ruling was based on that province’s own charter of rights, not the federal Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and is restricted to that province. Fuller said it has led to administration problems, with doctors billing outside the services for which the ruling allowed. Earlier this year, an Alberta court KAMLOOPS GROWN

ruled against a patient’s right to private health care in the case of a dentist who went to the U.S. for surgery, rather than wait for it in Canada, and then sued to get the $77,000 cost back. Turner said research has failed to show a parallel private system would reduce wait times, but often creates longer ones as doctors devote more time to the private provision of health care. Fuller agreed, saying some hospitals have created efficient systems to reduce wait times, but the government hasn’t pursued implementing those ideas in a system-wide way.

Bepple pushed for council pay review From page A1

Bepple said if voters reelect her, she wants to focus on improving the city’s stormdrainage system to handle severe-weather events, attracting and retaining skilled workers, beautifying public spaces and improving housing options for seniors, youth and low-income residents. Also a focus is the city’s official community plan, currently up for review, which she said needs to be kept affordable for taxpayers. CITY OF

KAMLOOPS

Bepple said her position on the Ajax mine has not changed — she is still waiting to see the outcome of the mine’s environmental review. Before her resignation, Bepple pushed for a review of councillor wages that eventually led to a substantial pay raise for the city’s elected officials, which kicks in at the start of the new term. By the end of their tenure, councillors elected on Nov. 15 will make about $10,000 more than their current salary. Bepple said she still believes

it was “prudent” to take a look at council salaries. “If the new council wants to review that, that’s fine,” she said. With Bepple’s return to the race, every councillor elected in 2011 will be on the ballot in 2014. Also in the running are Dustin McIntyre, Bob Dieno, Peter Kerek, Andrew Miller, Annette Glover, Mike O’Reilly and Dieter Dudy. Candidate filing begins next week, on Sept. 30. Would-be councillors and mayoral hopefuls will have until Oct. 10 to file their nomination packages.

POLITICAL RED WAVE ROLLS ON

he Liberal wave keeps rolling across Central and Eastern Canada. Brian Gallant led the provincial Liberal party in New Brunswick to victory in this week’s election, in the process becoming, at 32, the country’s youngest premier. The Liberal victory in New Brunswick followed Liberal triumphs this year in elections in Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia. While there may not be an official alliance between provincial and federal Liberal parties, the electorate does not necessarily know or care for details of any relationships. To the average voter, a provincial Liberal is a federal Liberal and vice-versa — and that is usually true in terms of policy and politician, with the glaring exception of the British Columbia Liberal Party, which would be more at home federally standing alongside the Conservatives. In fact, during the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Liberal candidate forum a few weeks ago, all three candidates stressed the need to make it clear to voters their Liberal party is not in any way connected to the provincial Liberals. There is little doubt the emergence of Justin Trudeau as federal Liberal leader has influenced voters provincially in those provinces that have recently elected Grit governments. Despite his off-the-cuff gaffes (on China’a dictatorship and the Ukraine-Russia conflict) and controversial, seemingly sudden, policy decisions (pro-marijuana legalization, pro-choice candidates and removing the LIberal tag from all erstwhile Grit senators), Trudeau resonates with enough voters to have become a serious threat to the status quo in Ottawa. Since the 2011 federal election, in which the Conservatives won a majority, there have been 13 by-elections. Of those, only two seats changed hands — and the Liberals stole both, from the Conservatives and New Democrats. It would seem Prime Minister Stephen Harper is facing a serious threat.

Tales from the trailerhood

t wouldn’t be summer without a “how I spent my summer vacation” column. This one is a comingof-age tale — and the age is that of the semi-retired and soon-to-be-retired. It’s a cautionary tale, as well, one fraught with moments when we were glad the children, now young adults, were not alongside and within mocking distance. Some background: Mr. SemiRetired (he leaves Thompson Rivers University classrooms behind completely in a couple of years) decided the coming years required a new type of mobility, hence the tiny travel-trailer and the big, honking, used Ford F150 now filling our driveway. We decided the best way to mark the end of summer would be to hook said travel-trailer up to the red truck and head out for a few days. Being cautious folk, we opted for a manageable distance and booked a spot just south of Merritt. First, time to hook up the two vehicles. With limited space for words, let’s just say after about a half-hour of me guiding hubby up the slope of our long driveway, getting him off into a muddy side area where the tires just spun, missing the hitch completely, one of our sons came out. “Back, now a bit to your right, back, back, perfect, dad.” First attempt. Right. Packed up, off we go, the destination inputted into Maggie, as we refer to our Magellan GPS unit. We’ve had a lot of faith in

Street

LEVEL Maggie since we got her, but she shattered that illusion with one completely wrong turn that had us go about 17 miles past our destination and turn onto what sure looked like a forestry road. With a big truck. And a 20-foot trailer attached to it. And not much space to turn around. With a first-time travel-trailertruck-driving hubby at the wheel — and me giving directions again. Suffice to say, there were tense moments and I’m pretty sure some strong language not being spoken, but the turn was successful, we found the full-service site, unhooked the vehicles and started to set things up. Electricity was easy — put in the super-big plug. Water was also easy — hook up the hose. So far, pretty good. Time to get the oven and stove working. We had take-out for dinner. Next step — time to get the heater and water heater going. Good thing we brought a large, warm comforter and, as an old married couple, we could live

with no showers for a couple of days. The next day, the goal was to figure out why we couldn’t use the oven or stove, figure out how to get heat and check out the awning. We sat in the sunshine, microwaved dinner, gave up on the stove and were glad for the comforter again. Third day, hubby remembers the guy we bought the trailer from saying the gas wouldn’t flow if the unit wasn’t balanced on all sides. Out came the level. Next came the adjusters. With the bubble firmly in the middle when checked on all four sides, the stove top went into action. It was a moment to celebrate. The rest of the adventure was filled with book reading, golf, walking alongside what they call a river, but was more like a creek, seeing some salmon over-exerting themselves going upstream — and simply enjoying the peacefulness of silence. Breaking camp went much smoother than setting it up: Unhook everything, hide in the kitchen while hubby dealt with the “black-water” disposal (although I did come out to help clean up the hose) and then hitch the two vehicles up again. Got it the first time. Right. By the time retirement has rolled around for both of us, we should have this whole thing down to a fine art — and be ready to head farther afield than 45 minutes down the highway. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

LACASSE IS A SOLID LEADER WITH MANY SUCCESSES Editor: I was extremely disheartened to read the negative comments associated with Yves Lacasse during testimony in the trial of Kamloops Cpl. Rick Brown (‘Trial hears of ‘bully’ heading ‘dysfunctional detachment,’ Sept. 18). I have known and worked with Lacasse since 2008. He is known to be a solid leader who is not complacent. Lacasse is proactive, he challenges the status quo and he is very dedicated and hard-working. Under his police leadership, the Kamloops area experienced significantly reduced crime, implementation of red zones, reduction of crack houses and many other successes. Stopping organized crime from gaining a foothold in the city may be one of his biggest accomplishments. As a lead fundraiser for the United Way, Lacasse dedicated significant time and energy to raising funds for those less fortunate Kamloops residents. In my time, I did not see or hear of him bullying anyone. I did see him hold RCMP members accountable for providing a high level of service to the community and their internal teams. I’ve learned leadership is not a popularity contest. It requires the ability to make difficult decisions for many people, which means some people won’t always agree. Rather than trying to cast a shadow on one of the best leaders in the community, we should be focused on what happened in the cellblock incident, learn from it and move forward. Staff Sgt. Ben Rodrigue watch commander North Vancouver RCMP

Yves Lacasse was head of the Kamloops RCMP during the 2010 incident in which officers and jail guards watched two women have sex in a detachment cell. Ben Rodrigue, a staff sergeant with the North Vancouver RCMP, worked under Lacasse in Kamloops and says Lacasse is one of the best leaders in the city.

Kamloops is not right for the city. As a Kamloops taxpayer, I want my elected city council to be responsible for all activity of our police department. Right now, we do not have that. As well, Kamloops citizens cannot be hired as police officers within the city as RCMP hiring is done by Ottawa. The federal government has programs to hire French-Canadians and other groups, making it nearly impossible for a Kamloops resident to

I also note Kamloops city council does not make the final decision in appointing our police chief or any other matter relating to its police force, other than paying the bills. I am asking city council to seriously consider opting out of the RCMP contract and get a truly municipal police force. John Hart Kamloops

School district realizes $3.1-million surplus DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

After several challenging years, the Kamloops-Thompson school district is in good shape in the eyes of its secretarytreasurer. Kelvin Stretch said the school district ended its fiscal year on June 30 with a

$3.1-million operating surplus. When experiencing a surplus, district policy is to use a portion of it to buy some of the items government funding doesn’t pay for, such as computers for labs and district vehicles. Stretch said $947,000 was used for those kinds of purchases, with a portion

trict employees and $450,000 will remain in an operating reserve to deal with unanticipated budget issues, some training projects, deferred spending for the trades school and other projects. • One of the fallouts of the recent labour dispute is a change to the school calendar in Kamloops The original start date of semester two of this school year was set for Jan. 26, 2015. However, the Kamloops-Thompson board of education has accepted a recommendation from its administrators to change that date to Feb. 10. The board made the decision this week after being told the provincial government has created a new provincial-exam period of Feb. 2 to Feb. 6, 2015. To remain with the original timeline would have led to students losing 17 instructional days in the first semester. With the change, the first semester gains three instructional days, bringing its total to 85, and the second semester will have 82

instructional days. Before the change was approved, the calendar would have seen 75 days in the first semester and 92 in the second. • Trustees and the union representing clerical staff, certifiedteaching assistants, maintenance workers and other support staff have ratified a collective agreement. While a provincewide framework was agreed to last September, each district had to address regional education issues. Trustees were told members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 3500 voted 83 per cent in favour of the deal. Last fall, CUPE bargained a provincial framework contract that saw its members receive a one per cent raise retroactive to July 1, 2012, a 2.5 per cent increase on Feb. 1 of this year and a 0.5 per cent increase in May. • Another change resulting from the five-week strike/lockout will see fees for enhancement activities at the secondary-

school level reduced by 10 per cent for this school year. These fees are not the basic ones students are charged, but deal with enhancedquality wood in a carpentry class and extra class trips, for example. • Trustees reported on in-camera decisions made in August that will see the mileage rate for the district go to 54 cents per kilometre from 52 cents. Mileage applies only to district business. Trustees also approved a vehicleallowance rate of $700 monthly, up from $685 per month. • The district anticipates making some money from the sale of three properties — eight acres in Tranquille Valley near Red Lake that are listed at $79,200; 0.9 of an acre at 820 Crestline St. in Brocklehurst, with a 1,728-square-foot older school building and listed for $295,000; and 1.2 acres with a 2,090-square-foot building in Little Fort listed at $110,000. • Mark Orr has been named principal of Haldane elementary in Chase and Katrina Sewell will assume his vice-principal position at Aberdeen elemen-

tary. • The district’s education committee will be reviewing a presentation by the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association social-justice committee on the need for a policy directly addressing homophobic harassment. The issue has been brought to the board in the past, with trustees deciding existing harassment policies suffice, but input from students indicate gender-identity harassment is not being reported. Administration will again review the need for a specific policy after consulting with staff and students and ensuring all staff have had appropriate training to deal with incidences in schools. • Signage at the former John Peterson secondary, now home to Beattie School of the Arts secondary as well as some South Kamloops secondary classes, will be addressed in 2016. Trustees were told the issue will flow from the district’s plan to move elementary grades to the Ninth Avenue building, creating a kindergartento-Grade 12 fine-arts school.

Pssst! Wanna buy a school property (or three)? DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

On Oct. 10, the KamloopsThompson board of education will know if anyone is interested in buying one of three properties it has for sale. Kelvin Stretch, secretarytreasurer for the KamloopsThompson school district, said three properties are available on tender, with the offer closing on Oct. 10, right before the Thanksgiving long weekend. The three properties include eight acres in Tranquille Valley near Red Lake listed at $79,200; a 0.9-acre plot at 820 Crestline St. in Brocklehurst with a 1,728-square-foot older school building and listed for $295,000; and 1.2 acres with a 2,090-square-foot building in Little Fort listed at $110,000. Stretch said the Tranquille Valley school site was closed several years ago and a community group has been using the building, paying

a minimal rent. The structure needs upgrades, he said, and that led to about a year of discussions with the Thompson-Nicoia Regional District and the community group. Nothing came from the talks, he said. The Little Fort school building was constructed in 1933 and has been closed for about 20 years. Stretch said a small furniture manufacturer had been a tenant, but it moved out and the building has been vacant for about a year. The Crestline school site, which Stretch said has one or two classrooms in it, is also old and has been vacant for years. A tenant leases the land around it for a dog-training business, he said. In the end, all the money from the sales will remain in the school district in some form and can only be used for capital projects, Stretch said. In essence, the difference

comes from how the buildings were purchased. With older buildings, it is likely the school district would have paid for them outright or received them as donations and any proceeds remain with the district. With those that received provincial-government funding, the proportion of that funding technically is Ministry of Education money, but remains with the district, to be used on capital projects in lieu of asking the government for the money. For example, when the district sold the George Slater elementary building, $250,000 of the sale price was technically government money. When the district needed money for its portable trades trailer, it asked the ministry for permission to use that amount for the project. Stretch said the district will wait until the tender-closure date before reviewing the apportionment of any sales.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

LOCAL NEWS

The Annual Mortgage Check-up For many Canadians, a mortgage is a once-every-five-year-chore. Fears about rates, costs and changes make this as enjoyable as paying taxes. However, a mortgage should be a tool to help you reach your goals, and that means planning. Life changes often dictate different mortgage strategies: are you starting or growing a family, starting a business, experiencing loss or interruption of income, planning home renovations, purchasing investment property or facing other major expenditures? A mortgage review can assess if your current mortgage’s interest rate, payments and options will help reach your goals. Low interest rates make it a good time for homeowners to give their mortgage a second look. Here are some common reasons to revisit your mortgage: •Paying down your mortgage faster: If you receive extra cash like an inheritance, tax refund or a work bonus, think about putting it toward your mortgage. For example, paying an extra $3,000 once every year toward the principal on a $250,000 mortgage can result in interest savings of $42,442 over the life of the mortgage, assuming a 25-year amortization and a fixed rate of 4.19%. •Lowering monthly payments: Renegotiating for a lower interest rate or higher amortization can protect your finances from unforeseen expenses, reduced income, and allow you to save up a rainy day fund. •Debt consolidation: Boost your cash flow or pay down your debt faster by taking high interest debt like a credit card balance and consolidating it into your mortgage. Your debt moves from multiple high payments, into one lower mortgage payment. Most lenders allow extra payments of 20% per year, so pay more when you have more! •Securing a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): A HELOC can help you access lower-cost funds for investing, such as topping up your RRSP or TFSA contribution. It can also help you pay for home improvement projects or just be available for peace of mind. •Improving credit: A mortgage professional can discuss any credit concerns or issues and coach you on how to improve your credit score. Good credit advice can help you work toward cheaper future borrowing costs and better mortgage options. •Identifying concerns: Mortgages are supposed to work for you. If you are unsure about specific mortgage functions or benefits, an annual check-up can be a great time to discuss concerns, learn how to set up extra payments, change your payment date and more. In the end, a yearly mortgage checkup could reveal that the best course of action is no change at all… there is satisfaction in knowing that as well! Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today.

Maia Walker, Julianna Bissonnette and Amelia Petch are browsing through the costume section at Value Village on Seymour Street. The Grade 12 students walked downtown together after school from South Kamloops secondary, just up the hill. They sift through the fresh displays of capes, masks and all-in-one outfits â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all primed for festivities still weeks away. They are wearing matching red shirts that read: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your existence is not impossible. But, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also not very likely.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accurate,â&#x20AC;? Maia says.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;And ironic,â&#x20AC;? Julianna adds. The three have planned their outfits, having bought the shirts together in Vancouver over the summer when they attended a live presentation of their favourite podcast â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Welcome to Night Vale. Maia and Juliannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting was not impossible, but it was also not very likely. They were born exactly 36 days apart and their moms met in the hospital. They became friends while attending Lloyd George elementary. Amelia came along later, in high school.

Amelia is switching into Maiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Juliannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s English class in their final year before graduation. They know they are all taking different programs in university next year as they search through the thrift shopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s racks for holiday inspiration. But, as for whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go with matching outfits for Halloween? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They might be along the same theme,â&#x20AC;? Amelia says.

Curber avoids the clink 18MONTH CONDITIONAL SENTENCE FOR PINANTAN MAN CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A used-car salesman convicted of trying to peddle a stolen ski boat to undercover Mounties won’t go to jail — despite having a lengthy criminal record that includes similar offences. Kevin Peel, 49, was convicted in June of trafficking in stolen property. Crown prosecutor Tim Livingston asked B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan to send the Pinantan Lake man to jail for between nine months and a year, arguing Peel has racked up property and drug-trafficking offences in the past and that the behaviour needs to be deterred by sending him to jail. RCMP were alerted by the boat’s rightful owner, a Calgary firefighter who saw his former boat advertised on the Kijiji website in Kamloops. It went missing from a Peachland condo parking lot months earlier. “This is a profit-motivated offence,” Livingston said, adding Peel admitted during testimony that he regularly lied when selling cars, boats

and motorcycles and that he cheated the government out of property-purchase taxes. “He has no qualms about making money dishonestly.” However, Donegan sided with defence lawyer Sheldon Tate, who argued it’s been 13 years since Peel’s last offence. Peel said he has also dis-

I take “your

submissions you’re out of this business very seriously.

”

continued buying and selling vehicles, known as curbing, and is working as a surveyor until he gets on with a pipeline contractor. Tate also argued the attempted sale was unsophisticated because Peel took no steps to change the boat’s appearance. When she convicted him of the offence, Donegan ruled

Peel was “willfully blind” to the fact the boat was stolen. Character-reference letters for Peel were also entered, including from his two stepchildren, 10 and 13, who pleaded with the judge not to send their single-parent father to jail. “I’m not sentencing you for your underhanded business practices,” Donegan told Peel, stressing she was only concerned with his most-recent conviction and past record. Donegan gave Peel credit for getting out of the business that has comprised his livelihood for most of his adult life. He will serve an 18-month conditional sentence, including 12 months of house arrest, during which he can only leave for work or other compelling purposes. Peel also cannot buy and sell vehicles for profit during the period, other than to transfer his current fleet out of his name and into the name of his spouse for possible sale. He cannot be involved in any marketing or sale discussion. “I take your submissions you’re out of this business very seriously,” Donegan said. “This prohibition shouldn’t be a problem for you.”

IT’S JUST A SPIDER, MAN For many British Columbians, there is nothing more terrifying than opening a cupboard door or getting ready to hop in the shower and seeing autumn’s most notorious uninvited houseguest — the giant house spider. This spindly eight-legged arachnid, also called the Eratigena atrica, can reach the size of a human palm and is known for its speed and high level of creepiness. But, there’s really no reason to be afraid, according to Claudia Copley, the entomology collections manager at Royal BC Museum in Victoria. “They’re harmless. I’ve picked up many and they don’t even try to bite,” she said. “They don’t have venom that’s dangerous to us.” The giant house spider is one of the most-common spiders to make its way into your home at this time of year, but other species — such as the house spider and the hobo spider — are also frequent visitors. None of them are harmful to humans and, even though the hobo spider in particular has a reputation for bad bites, Copley said this is simply not true.

“They don’t have venom that is dangerous to humans and they also do not carry bacteria known to cause infections,” Copley said. They’re innocent. It’s all just misconceptions.” British Columbia has 781 recorded species of spiders. Spiders are more commonly found in homes during the fall not because they are trying to get out of the wet and cold, as commonly believed, but because it is mating season and male spiders are out looking for love. “They left their web or their burrow, or wherever it is they like to hang out, and they’re on the wander,” Copley said. “Most spiders don’t want to be in your home. There are probably are no females. It’s just an accident.” Another common myth is that the spider in your bathtub or sink has crawled up through the drain. Copley said the particulars of plumbing don’t actually allow this, noting the spider has actually fallen into the basin and simply can’t get out due to the slipperiness of the surface.

LEARN ONLINE

Copley said her three indoor cats consistently deal with any spiders in her house, but the best way to prevent these unwanted intruders is to make sure all doors have sweeps and all windows have screens, eliminating the easiest entry points. Another ally in your fight against big spiders is the smaller year-round house spider. Spiders commonly found in the house year-round, such as the brown house spider, actually kill and eat their larger relatives. Should you find one in your home, Copley said she won’t lose any sleep if they end up squished. But, for the more compassionate approach, simply relocate them outside, away from your house. Her main message, however, is simply don’t be afraid. “Spiders are kind of creepy. They have a weird way of walking,” Copley said. “People are scared of anything that isn’t cute and fuzzy, with big eyes. “The more you know, the less fearful you are.”

Have you booked your

Holiday Party?

Don’t miss out! MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS NOW If you are in charge of organizing a Christmas party for your family, a group of friends, your company or just a romantic dinner for two, do yourself a favour and reserve early — that means now. Why the rush? It’s true that there are still a few weeks before all those Christmas parties begin, but there are plenty of reasons why you shouldn’t procrastinate on this. By looking now for the ideal restaurant, bar, pub reception hall or hotel for your party, you’ll have many more possibilities to choose from as you search for a place that will suit your needs. Another advantage of making early reservations

is you’ll be able to choose the best room or the bestplaced table — an undeniable privilege during this busy time of year when places are snapped up quickly. If you get on the ball now, you won’t end up with the table that no one else wanted, like the one next to the main entrance or the kitchen. Either one of those scenarios are enough to ruin the party mood, whether it’s a romantic dinner for two or a huge reception. If you reserve now, you are more likely to be treated well, as a good customer. One last reason to get busy: if you reserve early, the success of the party is sure to be talked about into the new year.

Have you booked your

Holiday Party?

An event to remember December is looming on the horizon and so the time has come to start planning your holiday festivities. This year, make a pledge that you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave things to the last minute. Who needs the headache of harried scrambling to busy grocery stores or battling the crowds at the big-box stores? Preparing early will help you organize a truly unforgettable event, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for work colleagues, friends, or family members. Start by considering whether you want to host a party at home or dine out. Fix the date and reserve a restaurant or caterer as early as possible. After all, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be one of those disorganized people who have to settle for a less-than-ideal place just because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the few still available. Then, if you have a large enough budget, find a DJ to provide the music for your event. Your guests will have lots of fun on the dance floor to the sound of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hits as well as their very own special requests.

Karaoke is always a popular entertainment option as well. Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve settled all those details let your imagination run riot and think up ways to add some magic to your party. Plan an evening that will appeal to the majority of your guests, one that will require some amusing involvement on their part. Even the most dignified of people can let their hair down with some wellplanned party games. If you really want to impress your guests, bring in a specialist to decorate your home or reception room in a tasteful holiday style. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget that their first impression as they enter the room is often was people remember most. If all this organization seems a little overwhelming and time-consuming to you, you could always hire a professional party planner, an increasingly popular service for busy people. Be sure to phone around early if you want to get the best.

Holiday Party?

Out-of-the-box themes for your holiday party Parties are an integral part of the holiday season, when friends and family gather to celebrate and give thanks. For holiday hosts, parties are a great opportunity to make the season even more festive with an event that guests won’t soon forget. The following are just a few themes to make your holiday party as memorable as it is merry. Christmas sweater party: Christmas sweater parties have grown in popularity over the last decade, when revelers have tried to outdo one another with the most outrageous holidaythemed sweater. Give prizes for the most outlandish sweater and let guests know early on so they can begin their hunt for a holiday sweater that’s so ugly or outrageous you can’t help but love it. Christmas costume party: Costume parties aren’t just for Halloween. This holiday season, consider making your holiday bash a costume party, encouraging guests to dress up as their favorite characters from holiday tales like “Frosty the Snowman,” “A Christmas Carol” or any of the host of beloved holiday legends.

Caribbean Christmas: The weather come the holiday season may be the one thing to put a damper on the festivities. To combat blue feelings from potentially inclement weather, consider a Caribbean theme for your holiday party this season. Rather than wearing sweaters and long pants, wear beach attire and give the party a touch of the Caribbean. Outfit your home in beach decor and serve food and drinks reminiscent of the Caribbean instead of more traditional holiday fare like eggnog and gingerbread cookies. Film festival: Holiday movies are another tradition of the season, so why not invite friends and family over for a holiday film marathon? Include classics like “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “A Christmas Story” and encourage guests to submit their own favourites for consideration. Christmas karaoke: For those who love to belt out their favorite holiday tunes, consider throwing a Christmas

karaoke party that allows guests to perform their own renditions of their favourite Christmas carols. Purchase a home karaoke set and ask guests in advance of the party if there are any particular songs they’d like to perform. —Metro News Service

Have you booked your

Holiday Party?

Holiday party planning for first-time hosts Novice holiday hosts often have a lot on their plates. Whether hosting family or friends or a combination of both, first-time hosts typically want to impress their guests while ensuring they get enough to eat and have an enjoyable evening. Since dinner is such a big part of holiday gatherings, hosts often place extra emphasis on what to serve, and that can be tricky when this is the first time they are hosting. When planning the menu for your holiday soiree, consider the following tips: Get a head count. Though other factors will influence what to serve, the size of your guest list may ultimately dictate what to serve. For example, a small gathering of four to five people will likely rule out turkey, as even a small turkey will prove too much

effort and produce too much extra food. On the same note, a small dish like lasagna might not be doable for a larger crowd, as it will force you to prepare multiple entrees, which means more time in the kitchen juggling the various cooking duties and less time with your guests. Once you have confirmed just how many guests you will be hosting, you can then choose a main course that suits the size of your guest list. Decide which type of party you want to host. The type of party you want to host also will influence what you serve. A formal gathering should include an appetizer, a main course and a dessert, including both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffees. A less formal gathering gives hosts more leeway.

For example, whereas a formal gathering may include soup as an appetizer, hosting a less formal gathering allows hosts to put out some snacks or bread for guests to whet their appetites before everyone sits down for the meal. The more formal the gathering, the more formal the menu. Hosts of less formal gatherings may even want to host a holiday potluck buffet, inviting guests to bring a favourite dish or side dish while the hosts take care of the main course. Ask guests if they have any dietary restrictions. Upon being invited to a holiday dinner, some invitees may let hosts know if they have any food allergies or medical conditions that restrict which foods they can eat. Solicit such information from all of your guests, and

do your best to cater to each of your guests’ needs. Some guests might be on a glutenfree diet while others may need to limit their sodium intake. You might not be able to meet everyone’s demands. Let guests know if they should bring an appropriate snack if you cannot provide one for them. Include traditional holiday fare. People have grown to expect certain things from holiday meals, be it sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving, brisket for Chanukah or holiday cookies or even eggnog at Christmas parties. When planning the menu, be sure to include at least one of these traditional items, even asking guests for suggestions. Such fare will give the party a genuine holiday feel, and guests will appreciate seeing some items on

your dinner table they have enjoyed at their own holiday celebrations over the years. Don’t overdo it. Firsttime hosts want to ensure everyone gets enough to eat, so it’s easy to overdo things and prepare too much food. This can be expensive, and guests may feel obligated to overeat so hosts don’t have to discard any of the food they worked so hard to prepare. Though it might once have been a holiday tradition to overeat, many men and women now prefer moderation, and hosts should keep that in mind when preparing their holiday meals. Hosting a holiday dinner for the first time can be nerve-wracking. But there are a variety of steps firsttimers can take when preparing their menus to come off looking like old pros. — Metro News Service

Terrorist denied parole PAOLA LORIGGIO

THE CANADIAN PRESS

BATH, Ont. — A ringleader of the so-called Toronto 18 who plotted to storm Parliament and behead politicians has been denied parole. A two-member panel of the Parole Board of Canada has ruled Fahim Ahmad didn’t have a “viable’’ plan for how he would reintegrate into society if he were released from the maximum-security Millhaven Institution in Bath, Ont. The panel expressed concerns over how Ahmad, 30, would handle exposure to the Internet, which he admitted strongly contributed to his extremism in the past. Ahmad pleaded guilty in the middle of his 2010 trial to participating in a terrorist group, importing firearms and instructing his co-accused to carry out an activity for a terrorist group. He was sentenced to 16 years in prison, but received a credit of 8.5 years for the more than four years he spent in custody awaiting trial. The Toronto 18 were rounded up in the summer of 2006 in an antiterrorist operation that made headlines around the world. In his hearing yesterday (Sept. 24), Ahmad told the board he had abandoned the beliefs that led him to “violent extremism.’’ “I think, based on everything I’ve lost and having seen things for what they really are in a pretty painful way, I can’t see myself going in any direction like that,’’ he said. In handing down his sentence four years ago, the judge who oversaw the trial said he believed Ahmad had a chance at rehabilitation. Ahmad wrote a letter to the court, claiming to have grown respectful of the beliefs of others during his time at Toronto’s Don Jail. His wife and fatherin-law also submitted letters describing him as having a more moderate and tolerant stance.

BlackBerry launches its latest smartphone DAVID FRIEND

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Whether you love BlackBerry or hate it, the Canadian smartphone maker is banking on its new Passport device to help reshape perception of the company in a highly competitive market. “We are determined to win back the Canadian home crowd,’’ chief executive John Chen told the audience at the Toronto launch on Wednesday, Sept. 24, that included an appearance by Wayne Gretzky. “If you guys don’t support us, then you’ve got some problems,’’ he joked. Rather, it might be BlackBerry that faces more problems if the Passport doesn’t catch on with the business users it wants to attract. Nearly a year ago, Chen was brought on board at the struggling company to help dig it out of a financial pit and reshape its business model. So far, he has completed a major restructuring of its operations through cost cuts, layoffs and a shift in the company’s overall strategy. The Passport is the next step. The device is comparable in size to a Canadian passport, a point which Chen demonstrated by placing the phone against the government-issued identification booklet.

and stick with a device for years. Together, the target market — people who use their smartphones mostly for work — represents about 30 per cent of mobile phone users, Chen said.

Among the Passport’s defining features is a wider screen, which makes the phone ideal for viewing and modifying documents, the company said. The keyboard has been reworked from

previous BlackBerry models to remove a row of keys and merge the space bar into the bottom row. The number keys and other functions are now incorporated into an on-screen extension

accidents are caused by motorists using their smartphones while at the wheel. While it has been illegal since July 1, 2008, to drive in Quebec while holding a cellular phone, the number of motorists who have been nabbed doing so has climbed to 66,089 in 2013 from 11,485 for the last six months of 2008. Poeti told a news conference in Quebec City it’s time for action after various awareness campaigns. “When the regulations first came in for cellphones, smartphones, messaging wasn’t what it is today,’’ Poeti, a former provincial police officer, said. “We couldn’t predict what was going to happen.

OTTAWA — The federal NDP says it is getting behind the CanadaKorea free trade pact. The party says it has some concerns about the deal, but on balance, it considers the agreement a good deal for Canada. The Harper government has long accused the NDP of opposing free trade deals generally. New Democrats say they won’t sign on to any deal with seeing the details. In the case of the Korean pact, which is now before the House of Commons, the NDP says it will level the playing field with other countries, such as the United States and the European Union, which have their own agreements with Korea. It will also give Canadian companies a foothold in a key Asian market. — The Canadian Press

GLOBAL NEWS

THE COALITION OF THE UNWILLING GATHERS

“

If Hitler invaded Hell, I would make at least a favourable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons,” said Winston Churchill in 1941, defending his decision to regard Joseph Stalin as an ally after Germany invaded the Soviet Union. If the brutal fanatics of ISIS and their new “Islamic State” in parts of Iraq and Syria were really an existential threat to the United States, then President Barack Obama, using the same logic, would now be treating the governments of Syria and Iran as allies. But, he isn’t. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has just ended a recruiting tour of the Middle East, signing up Arab states and Turkey for a new coalition that will allegedly “degrade and ultimately destroy [ISIS].” Moreover, it must do so without ever requiring U.S. boots on the ground as the American public would not stand for any more of that. The United States will happily provide air strikes if others will do the dying on the ground, of course, and the Iraqi government will go along with that deal since it has just lost a third of its national territory to ISIS. But, it will take a long time to rebuild the Iraqi army after its recent collapse — and the only other U.S. allies who are willing to die to stop ISIS are the Kurds. Jordan will supply intelligence services. Turkey will make it harder for wouldbe jihadis to cross its borders with Syria and Iraq (the route by which most of ISIS’s foreign recruits have travelled), but it will not let the U.S. use Turkish air bases for military operations. Egypt murmurs

GWYNN DYER

World

WATCH words of encouragement, but makes no specific commitments. Almost all the Gulf states, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait included, have promised to stop the large flow of donations from wealthy individuals to the various jihadi outfits in Syria (including, at least until recently, ISIS). The United Arab Emirates reportedly even offered to carry out air strikes against ISIS. However, it’s hardly a mass mobilization and it doesn’t involve any boots on the ground. There are plenty of boots available if Washington wants them, but they are on the wrong feet. The Syrian army has been fighting the jihadis for almost three years now and, after its initial losses, it has managed to hold its own against them everywhere except in eastern Syria. Elsewhere, it has actually been gaining back ground for more than a year now. Then there is Iran, a big, industrialized country whose armed forces do know how to fight. Iran provided the key support for the local Shia militias that stopped ISIS from sweeping into Baghdad last summer and it has been providing indispensable support to the Syrian government for years. Finally, there are the “wrong” Kurds. The Kurds of Iraq can be part of the coalition because they

have their own selfgoverning region and are legitimate recipients of American military aid. But, the Kurdish nationalist forces of northeastern Syria and southeastern Turkey, who have lots of combat experience and have been holding their own against ISIS, are classed as terrorists by Washington and so cannot be part of the gang. But, Washington has not asked these major players to join its new coalition. Indeed, it has invited everybody in the Middle East to join except those who are actually willing to fight ISIS on the ground. How peculiar. There are reasons for this odd behaviour, of course. The obsessive American mistrust of Iran goes back to the hostage crisis of 1979 to 1981 and is reinforced by Israel’s paranoia about Iran. Turkey would go ballistic if the U.S. started arming the Kurdish rebels, who have fought a long and brutal war (currently in remission) against the Turkish state. And it’s just too abrupt a U-turn for Obama to start doing business with Syria’s President Bashar alAssad, whom he was getting ready to bomb just one year ago. Maybe a rebuilt

Iraqi army can drive ISIS out of Iraq eventually, although ISIS has lots of local support in the Sunni Arab parts of Iraq. Where does Obama think the troops will come from to drive ISIS back in its Syrian heartland? His only answer is to build a new Free Syrian Army (FSA) composed of “moderates” who will fight on two fronts, defeating ISIS while also overthrowing Assad. That’s ridiculous, since the old FSA has almost all been absorbed into the various jihadi groups in Syria. There is nothing left to build on. For added comic effect, this new Free Syrian Army will be trained in Saudi Arabia, the principal supporter and paymaster of those same jihadi groups until ISIS scared it into hedging its bets. One is tempted to think Obama is not really all that worried about ISIS as a strategic threat. One is further tempted to speculate he has learned not to care too much about what happens in the Middle East any more. But, those are subjects for another day. gwynnedyer.com

FAITH

Busting roofs to raise up paralyzed lives

efugees all over the world are in the headlines these days, in dire need of shelter, food and raiment. On top of the ongoing demands placed upon nations and NGOs, now come the life-wrenching diseases accelerated by the Ebola virus in some parts of Africa. The developed Western nations are finding it difficult to meet demands being placed upon them. Good intentions alone are not able to carry them through. How far can we go to help people in dire need or crisis in life? The Gospel of Mark, in chapter two, relates an incident about four men engaged in a challenging act that rehabilitated a buddy of theirs from a life of

NARAYAN MITRA

You Gotta Have

FAITH

uselessness to one of all-around productivity. While Jesus was speaking in a crowded home one day, a listener jumped to his feet and interrupted him in the middle of the sermon. He pointed an angry finger at a wooden stick poking through the ceiling of the home. Other leaders, aggrieved by the interruption, rose angrily to watch the drama taking place in front of their eyes.

The sticks of the roof were breaking and an ever-widening hole appeared in the ceiling, spraying wood chips and dust over the people below as they ran for cover. Within minutes, the onlookers watched four pairs of hands come through the opening, starting to remove roof tiles. Soon those hands lowered into the room a stretcher bearing a man who lay motionless and hurting in more ways than one. He was suffering from severe paralysis resulting from damage to the brain or spinal cord, incapable of doing anything for himself and utterly dependent on the friends. But, his need for wholeness went beyond his physical problem. As the Gospel account proceeds, it

reveals he was also hurting spiritually, as a sinner in need of forgiveness. A closer look at the four men who brought their friend to Jesus reveals they were just ordinary men who had a friend in need of help from Jesus. How can these men inspire us in the work of bringing our friends to Jesus? First, these friends had high-visibility faith. They really believed Jesus would do something for their invalid friend. And Jesus rendered the help they were seeking. He began ministering to the sick man when he saw his friends’ faith. Their faith didn’t have any halo or a large “F” written on their foreheads. It was much more down-to-earth

than that. Jesus looked at the hole in the ceiling, the chunks of clay and dust covering the floor, four sweat-stained faces staring down at him and a man in need of wholeness at his feet. Now, that’s faith. Jesus associated faith with doing something, not just sitting still and mouthing sweet-sounding promises. We find the same idea in James 2:26: “As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.” Secondly, we learn from these men that their love for the sick friend cost them something. It cost them personal time and perhaps money to repair the damage to the roof of the homeowner. They also ran the risk of being ridiculed for their actions. Busting the ceil-

ing in the middle of a high-level religious discourse is not generally acceptable behaviour. In spite of the costs involved, the men viewed their friend with compassion and must have reckoned: “It’s worth it to get him to Jesus.” Finally, notice that Jesus rewarded their faith and love by ministering to their friend. To the astonishment of the self-righteous scribes, Jesus pronounced the invalid’s sins forgiven. Then he underscored his words of forgiveness by restoring the man’s physical health. Faith and love, which paid the price, resulted in wholeness for a man who could boast of four faithful friends. All of us have at least one friend who needs deliverance from Jesus, either physical or

spiritual — or both. Maybe our friend is not paralyzed or living a life of gross sin. However, even people in the best of health, living moral lives, need wholeness that only Jesus can give. As we think about our desire to bring our friends or family members to Jesus, let’s ask ourselves two questions: Do we really believe Jesus can make them whole? Am I willing to pay the cost to bring my friends to him? Wouldn’t it be great if Jesus could see our active faith and minister to our friends as he did for the four men? Let us stand in the gap, ready to bust a hole over some roof to make it happen.

CARL SHEELEY

PITTENDREIGH

December 8, 1939 - September 20, 2014 Carl Sheeley, husband of 49 years to the love of his life, Jean, and father to Laurie (Rob Kitamura), Jen and Patrick, found his way out of this world and into the next on September 20 after a swift and honourable clash with a most aggressive cancer. Carl was the first born child to parents Joe and Dorothy Sheeley in Alert Bay and grew up in Summerland with his two brothers, Bob and Jim. Carl went on to attend UBC where he received his teaching degree and played baseball at a high level as a crafty left handed pitcher. Carl was known to all as a charismatic and vibrant man who found joy and wonder in everything he did. He lived his life to the fullest and brought out the best in all those he knew. After a 32 year career devoted to teaching and coaching high school youth (Winslow Jr. Secondary/Coquitlam, Sahali, John Peterson), he went on to revel in his retirement years, never skipping a beat but rather plunging head first into doing more of what he loved. Golfing (his healthy obsession), curling, coaching, volunteering actively throughout his community, and travelling to long anticipated places were among his most recent past times. Many of Carl’s most precious moments over the last 40 years took place at his beloved cabin on Shuswap lake where family and friends were always welcome. But above all else, Carl settled into grand parenting his four wonderful grandkids: Olivia and Charlie (Jen) and Ben and Joe (Laurie and Rob). The role he has played in their lives is immeasurable and it would seem as though he was born for that very job. Beyond the immediate family members that will miss his presence is his vast group of friends. They are a wonderful bunch who bravely came out in droves to support and love him in his final days. He was a great friend to many and known widely through Kamloops as a boisterous and kind soul. Carl made friends everywhere that he went and couldn’t help but engage deeply in the world around him. His sense of humour was second to none and he knew how to tell a story as well as he knew how to poke fun at himself. A constant sense of genuine curiosity kept Carl young in heart and mind and he was notorious for his childlike inquisitiveness about anything that caught his attention. His love of sports, weather, children, reading, travel, world affairs, friends and family meant that Carl was never bored and squeezed enjoyment from virtually everything that he did. In keeping with Carl’s wishes, a Remembrance Party will be held at 4:00 on Friday, October 3 at the Parkside Lounge within the Interior Savings Centre in Kamloops. Please consider wearing your brightest colours to honour the robust and positive spirit of a great man. Those wanting to donate in Carl’s honour are asked to consider giving to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation or the Kamloops Chapter of Kids Sports Canada.

Don Pittendreigh passed away peacefully in his sleep at home on September 19, 2014 at the age of 85. He is survived by his wife Dorcas, his children Scott and Tanya, and his grandchildren, Rhianne, Hailey, and Kaitlyn. Don has requested no formal service but if you’d like, please raise a glass of Scotch in his memory.

Special thanks to the wonderful nurses of RIH ICU and Dr. Varma for their sensitive and attentive care.

DAVID KENT McNUTT 1955 – 2014

VELMA JANE DALE August 13, 1938 – September 19, 2014

Our dear son, father, grandfather, brother and uncle passed away at Kamloops Hospice Home on Sunday, September 21 after a long battle with cancer.

David was predeceased by his father Roy and infant brother Raymond. Although David had many challenges over the past several years with a brain injury and failing health, he still managed to live life to the fullest and his greatest joy was spending time with his daughters and his granddaughter. The family would like to thank all those who participated in his care over the years. A Service of Remembrance will be held at Summit Drive Church, 1975 Summit Drive, on Saturday, September 27, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. with Pastor Harry Bicknell officiating. Should friends desire, donations to the Kamloops Brain Injury Association, 408 Victoria Street, Kamloops, BC V2C 2A7.

ALLAN VAUGHN MacLEOD Allan Vaughn MacLeod (A.V.), born June 2, 1925, passed away on August 26, 2014 at the age of 89 in Ladner, BC. Allan was born and raised in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. He met his future wife, Margaret Krammer, in Regina, and they were married in 1949 in Kamloops, BC, where Allan began his career with the Kamloops School District. Al spent 32 years in the role of Secretary-Treasurer for SD #24, and served as a President of the BC School District Secretary-Treasurer’s Association. After retirement he chaired the BC Special Olympics committee, and ran for City Counsellor. Although he was not successful in his bid for municipal office, he brought together a diverse and committed group of supporters. Marg and Al raised their three children in Kamloops, and left a few years after they both retired. They lived in Victoria and Kelowna, finally settling in Chilliwack, BC, where they resided until early 2014. Marg and Al travelled extensively before and after retirement, taking trips to Europe, Tunisia and Ireland as well as winter vacations in Hawaii, Cuba and Mexico. Al was a man of large personality and generous spirit. He could be both fierce and soft-hearted; his humour and open, gregarious nature put people at ease. He loved to laugh, and was known for sharing his never-ending collection of jokes. He cared deeply about his children, encouraging them to do their best, instilling in them a strong work ethic, a sense of loyalty, and a willingness to laugh. He was devoted to Margaret, and they remained inseparable until the end. Throughout his life he opened his home to family and friends, sharing meals, relaxation, and entertainment. In his professional life he was known as a firm but fair leader, and was affectionately called “the Big Bear” in the school district. Under his watch School District #24 become the second largest in the province, and although he was known for not always following the rules, he was committed to creating the best educational opportunities for the community. Al was predeceased by his two elder brothers, Grant and Doug, and his eldest daughter, Vaughan Lind, who died of cancer in December 2013. He is survived by his wife Margaret; his son Allan Jr., his daughter, Kathryn, and his granddaughter, Christine Lind. A celebration of his life will take place on October 25 in Chilliwack, BC. If you would like information about his memorial, please email his family at ajfm@lightspeed.ca. Allan requested donations to the BC Heart and Stroke Foundation in lieu of flowers.

of her children and her grandchildren, and of the way her extended family continued to include everyone who had once been part of it. She believed that your voice sounds better when you smile, that when one door closes another opens, and that you should always treat others the way you want to be treated yourself. She believed if you wanted something badly enough and worked hard enough, you would get it – and proved this in the determined way she attacked and conquered cancer in 2013. Velma was born in Vancouver and grew up in Monte Lake. The eldest of five, she learned early how to run a home and prepare the big family meals that were her trademark. After graduating from Kam High in 1956, she attended business college in Victoria. While she never lost her love for the Island, she returned to Kamloops in 1957 and made it her home.

He is survived by his mother Doris and three daughters Jana (Justin), Karrie (Dave) and Diana as well as one granddaughter, Evy. He is also survived by four brothers, Doug (Lil), Dan (Janice), Dale (Carrie) and Don (Lisa), as well as numerous nieces and nephews. With her understated grace and style, Velma Jane (Thompson, Smith) Dale passed away on September 19, 2014. There were no multiple goodbyes, I love yous, or I’ll call when I get theres; after a full month of enjoying visits with friends and family, she slipped quietly away with her family at her side. The ultimate hostess, Velma will be remembered for the pleasure she took in welcoming people into her home. Friends, family and acquaintances alike knew that no matter what time of day or night they knocked at her door, they would be greeted with a smile and a hug, ushered in, and fed. “Now, can I get you anything?” may have been her six most-used words. Velma loved her family, her friends, and her home – usually in that order. She loved entertaining and she lived to dance. Sunday nights at Kamloops’ dance halls kept her on her toes until illness forced her from the floor in 2013 – but nothing could stop her from donning her dancing shoes one last time at her son Sean’s wedding in June. She loved Elvis, Kris Kristofferson and Anne Murray, and hearing Dick play his guitar at family gatherings. She was enormously proud

Velma was predeceased by her husband Bruce in 1991 and her brother Stewart in 1997. She is survived by her sisters Mary, Maureen and Stephanie; her children Kevin (Char), Gayle (Joe), Daryl (Raff) and Sean (Val); grandchildren Cassie, Breanna, Brendan, Shannan, Madeleine, Jared, Tyson, Kendall and Ryan; step-daughter Kerry; and longtime companion Buckley. Velma, Val, Mom, Damma, Gramma, Grandma Buckee, we will miss your beautiful smile, your laugh, and your generosity and thoughtfulness; the bottomless pot of coffee, bottles of wine, and cookie jar; your Sunday dinners; and the array of snacks that magically appeared whenever we arrived. We will never forget your no-butter buttertarts and that you can indeed spell backwards in Scrabble. Most of all we will remember the way you made each one of us feel important and welcome and loved.

Goodbye, we love you, take care, see you soon, goodbye, goodbye. Velma’s life will be celebrated at 10:00 am on Friday, September 26 at the Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive. Donations to the Kamloops Hospice House in lieu of flowers would be appreciated. Special thanks to Victor Gundel, the angels on 4 North, and the nurses, aides and volunteers at Hospice House.

One Final Gift Scatter me not to restless winds, Nor toss my ashes to the sea. Remember now those years gone by When loving gifts I gave to thee. Remember now the happy times The family ties we shared. Don’t leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared. Deny me not one final gift For all who come to see A single lasting proof that says I loved... and you loved me. DJ Kramer

HOWARD HERBERT ALLAN WILHELM Howard passed away peacefully, with his family by his side, on Saturday, September 13, 2014. Howard was born in Sherkston, Ontario to Herbert and Marjorie Wilhelm on September 26, 1928. The Wilhelm family moved to Sudbury, Ontario in 1936 and then to Hamilton, Ontario in 1943 where he finished his schooling at Central Collegiate. Howard entered the working world as a teller at the then Imperial Bank of Commerce in Hamilton. Having decided that banking was not for him, he changed course to the mining industry which took him to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories; Uranium City, Saskatchewan; and Elliott Lake, Ontario. In January, 1961, Howard’s travels lead him to Nicaragua where he met the love of his life, Edna. They married October 12, 1961, returned to Canada in 1962 and eventually moved to Ashcroft where their son Richard was born, followed by daughter Carol. Howard’s chosen career in the mining industry saw further moves to Tasu, BC; Kitsault, BC; Williams Lake, BC; and the Dominican Republic. The family finally settled in Kamloops in 1977. Howard retired from Afton Mine in 1992 and again in 1995. The next chapter of Howard’s life, that of grandfather, began in May of 1994 as he welcomed beautiful granddaughter, Julie. Julie was followed by Madeline in 1996, Jack in 2000 and Jonathan in 2005. Those who knew Howard, quickly realized that this was his true calling. He loved his grandchildren with a passion, and spent his time driving them to piano, hockey, swimming, soccer and tennis lessons. When not in the company of a grandchild, he could be found in his well tended garden, or going for a walk, usually with son Richard. Howard will be remembered most for his integrity, patience, subtle sense of humour, strength and wisdom, qualities he kept with him right up to his very last moments. Howard is survived by his wife of 53 years, Edna; son Richard; daughter Carol (Scott); grandchildren Julie; Madeline; Jack; and Jonathan. Howard is also survived by sister June (Jack) of Bellavista, Arkansas; sister Patsy of Oakville, Ontario; and sister Carol (late Carl) of Hamilton, Ontario, as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.

JOYCE BOHAY February 5, 1950 – September 15, 2014 Joyce, or ‘Joycie’, as she was known to more than a few, packed a lot of living into 64 short years. Born in Saskatchewan to loving parents John and Tina Storzuk, Joyce grew up in Wynyard in a little blue house beside her childhood best friend, Kathy. She was the youngest of four and the only girl and John was fond of spoiling his daughter. She told tales of being the first kid to get a bike with hand brakes which she showed off until she crashed on the only hill in town. In 1967, Joyce met Orest, the love of her life, and they married in July of 1969 and moved to Kitimat like her three brothers before, Ray, Merv and Bernie, (the boys). A son, Trevor, was born out west while Tracy was born in Regina. The small family moved back to Wynyard in 1974, and when the kids were old enough, Joyce worked at the Wynyard Bakery (moonlighting as a cakedecorator), and then at Stedman’s, followed by a stint at the Co-Op as the ‘produce lady’. Many great times were had with the Fichtner’s and other friends, and Fishing Lake was a favourite spot. Eventually all things must change. As great as Wynyard had been to the Bohay family, Joyce and Orest decided to move to Victoria, and then in 1994, the Bohays moved one last time, to Kamloops, where they would be near family once again. Family was important to Joyce and it was inconceivable to be far from them. Joyce and Orest continued to work hard, supporting their kids when needed and taking pride in the accomplishments of their children. Joyce reveled in being a grandmother and spoiled her grandsons, Zack and Aidan, relentlessly. She also enjoyed spending time with her daughter-in-law Heather. Ten years ago, Joyce battled cancer for the first time. She made a recovery, continuing to work in the office at Wal-Mart and being a fantastic grandmother. Joyce was renowned for being good at threespot and loved fishing. She prepared a great traditional Ukrainian Christmas Eve dinner that even the fussiest of eaters came to look forward to, and there was always room at her table. She was well-loved and fun to be around. She had a loud, infectious laugh and enjoyed the ribbing bestowed upon her by her kids and her cherished brothers and in-laws; although if you took it too far, you’d hear your name through those clenched teeth as a warning to wrap it up. Tracy’s friends called her ‘mom’, and Tracy’s partner; Will and his daughter, Brittany, enjoyed her friendship. Joyce passed too soon, as did two of her brothers before her. She didn’t get to enjoy retirement, and didn’t travel enough. Still, she didn’t complain. She made the best of every day she had. The thing she loved the most was spending time with her loving husband, Orest, who she remained in love with until the day he kissed her goodbye that last morning. She leaves behind a loving family and a lot of friends. Funeral services will be held AT 11:00 AM at the Kamloops Funeral Home, Saturday, 4 October. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Kamloops Hospice Society, where compassionate staff made her last days comfortable and dignified.

Everyone who met Diana loved her; she will be dearly missed by all.

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

RYDING HIGH KAMLOOPS BOY TO BE HONOURED AT B.C. ADAPTIVE SNOWSPORTS GALA

Ryder Gillis will be in Vancouver on the weekend as a guest of honour at the B.C. Adaptive Snowsports Black Diamond Gala. BCAS PHOTO ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

lastered all over Ryder Gillis’ bedroom door are pictures taken throughout his three years of skiing at Sun Peaks. It’s one such photo that now has him heading to Vancouver as a VIP guest at the B.C. Adaptive Snowsports Black Diamond Gala on Friday, Sept. 26. “When they phoned about the gala event, that was pretty honouring,” Ryder’s mom, Shannon Gillis, told KTW. “Very emotional for a parent.” Ryder is eight and lives with autism. He started skiing when he was five, working with instructors in the B.C. Adaptive Snowsports pro-

grams at Sun Peaks. Shannon said she was touched the organization wanted to highlight Ryder, and the gains he has made in their programs, at its annual gala event. The invitation came as part of a photo contest Ryder entered, and won, earlier this year. Shannon submitted a picture of Ryder to the B.C. Adaptive Snowsports Mountain Lover Facebook photo contest and it garnered 5,416 votes, topping the second-place photo by nearly 100 votes. His prize packaged included the gala trip, as well as a GoPro camera. The GoPro was the most exciting part for Ryder, who enjoys making videos. Shannon said being able to watch himself after a day on

the mountain will only add to the enjoyment Ryder gets on the slopes. His favourite spots on the mountain are likely to be front and centre in the footage. “My favourite run is Five Mile and Homesteader because they’re beginner trails” Ryder said. “My favourite thing is the blue squares [on the trail signs].” Ryder will probably get some footage of the chairlifts, too — the mechanical monstrosities were what initially drew him to the hill three years ago and they fascinate him to this day. Shannon said the opportunity to ride up the hill on the lift motivates Ryder as much as the experience of skiing down. “Originally, the first year, he was hooked,” she said.

“He loved it because of the chairlifts. He just thought those were just the coolest things ever and skiing was fun, but it was the chairlifts as his bonus and his actual incentive to want to go. “But, he immediately wanted to keep coming back.” Ryder can name the makes and models of all the chairs on the mountain, reciting the time it takes to ride each one to the top and even how many posts the lift uses to make its way up the hill. That’s not all he has memorized about the hill, though. He also knows the layout of the entire mountain and all its runs. Shannon said Ryder spends hours studying Sun Peaks and other ski hills around the world. See RYDER, page A33

Hoping for a Ryder worthy of a moniker

he War on th the Shore. Th The B Battle of Brookline. The Miracle at Medinah. They are all monikers designed to encapsulate some of the most memorable instalments of golf’s most nationalistic, passion-evoking event — the Ryder Cup. Tomorrow (Sept. 26), Europe and the U.S. will square off on the PGA Centenary Course at Gleneagles Resort in Perthshire, Scotland. The biennial showdown, which wraps up on Sunday, has existed since 1927. It’s a cauldron boiling — the emotion, fervent and molten, the pressure, fiery and viscous. It’s high-drama oozing and ardent fans boozing. It’s champagne pouring and flags proudly soaring. Urbane golf claps are replaced by choral refrains, mythos trumps money and the sport’s intrinsic individual nature is adjourned. Knee knockers for par carry with them the weight of country, of continent. Reputations are on the line. This is not your typical stroll down the fairway.

MARTY HASTINGS

The Tattle Of HASTINGS U.S. captain Tom Watson and his team of 12 are looking to avenge what some call the Meltdown at Medinah, when the Europeans erased a four-point deficit on the final day of competition in 2012 to claim Samuel Ryder’s trophy in Illinois. Keegan Bradley, one of Watson’s three captain’s picks, used the hashtag #redeemteam on Twitter, perhaps offering insight into the collective American mindset in Scotland. Skipper Paul McGinley is tasked with leading the Euros to a third-straight triumph, following in the footsteps of Jose Maria Olazabal and Colin Montgomerie, who captained the team to victory in 2012 and 2010, respectively.

From Sun Peaks to Sparta RESORT TO HOST FOUR SPARTAN RACES THIS WEEKEND

What does it take to be a Spartan warrior? Find out this weekend at Sun Peaks Resort, home of the 2014 Reebok Spartan Beast (21 km), Ultra Beast(42km), Sprint (5 km) and Junior races. The event gets underway on Saturday, Sept. 27, and wraps up on Sunday, Sept. 28. Thigh-high flames, bonechilling mud pits and rows of barbed wire are just a few of the obstacles racers will have to

conquer before crossing the finish line. This weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s races includes Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first, and only, Ultra Beast race. The ultra-beast course is 42 kilometres in length and includes more than 56 obstacles. The course will climb to Top of the World, one of Sun Peaksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; highest elevation points at 2,080 metres. Locals are encouraged to enter races like the five-kilometre Spartan Sprint or Junior race.

Volunteers are also needed. Spectators can watch the Spartans traverse the course from the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival area for $10. The fee also includes a ride up the Sunburst chair, from which fans can see the course below. There will also be beer gardens and an after-party at Masaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bar and Grill. Race registration is available online at sun peaksresort.com/ spartan.

Blazers say Winther is coming TEAM ADDS 20-YEAR-OLD FROM CALGARY HITMEN The Kamloops Blazers have acquired 20-year-old forward Mike Winther from the Calgary Hitmen. Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; General manager Craig Bonner MIKE sent a WINTHER fourthround pick in the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft

and a sixth-round pick in 2017 to Calgary in exchange for the six-foot, 191-pound left-hand shot from Trochu, Alta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mike had a tough season last year, with injuries limiting him to only 31 games,â&#x20AC;? Bonner said in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe that Mike is a very good player that will help us immediately. He is

motivated to continue playing and to earn himself a pro opportunity.â&#x20AC;? In 31 games last season split between Prince Albert and Calgary, Winther racked up seven goals and 26 points. Winther recorded 32 goals and 56 points with Prince Albert as a 17-year-old and was selected in the second round of the 2012 NHL Draft by the Dallas Stars, but never signed. There are now three overage players on

Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roster â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Winther, goaltender Bolton Pouliot and defenceman Brady Gaudet. WHL clubs must have no more than three overage players on the roster as of Oct. 15. Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; forward Chase Souto, 20, is at home in California on injured reserve, meaning he is not occupying a roster spot. His return seems unlikely, but the Blazers have not ruled it out.

BOOKIES FAVOUR EUROS TO REPEAT From page A31

Most bookies are giving the Europeans a 60 to 61 per cent chance of retaining the championship and McGinley isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shying away from the title of favourites, saying his

players have worked hard to earn it. Two years ago, though, it was the Americans who were favoured, given a 59 per cent chance of winning. The Home of Golf is known for its inclement weather.

Will driving Scottish winds bring sheets of rain in off the North Sea, adding another element to the drama? Will there be redemption for the Stars and Stripes? Will recent European dominance continue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a

sixth win in seven tries? Will there be one defining shot, a moment of brilliance? Will someone choke? Whatever happens, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping the 2014 Ryder Cup finishes worthy of an epic epitaph.

$ 1984 marked the 50th Anniversary of the Lower North Thompson 4-H Club. The club was formed in 1934 under the leadership of Tom Wilson, It was formed to ďŹ ll a need to have three Beef clubs in the Interior, so that beef members could enter in the National Judging Competition at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto. Bill Belcham and Charlie Frolek were the ďŹ rst members to represent the club in Toronto in 1934. In 1944, Budd Gesner and Bernard Donchi had the honor of taking top placing in Canada, the only BC Beef Judging team to ever achieve this award during the fourteen years of this competition. The club had various leaders over the years; Tom Wilson was leader for seven years, as was Harry Leavitt. In the 1980`s Ralph Devick, Barry Brady, Art Devick, Harvey Bently, Harry Urchit and Bess Kelly took the reins. In 2012 the club resumed operations after a period of dormancy. The club oďŹ&#x20AC;ers 4-H projects in Beef, Sheep and Cloverbud divisions. It draws its current members from the Westsyde area of Kamloops, but historically the members lived on both sides of the North Thompson River from McLure, Louis Creek, Vinsulla and Rayleigh.

BLAZERS NAME NEEDHAM ASSISTANT COACH

MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Mike Needham is the new assistant coach of the Kamloops Blazers, replacing Mark Ferner, who vacated the associate-coach role to become head coach and general manager of the BCHL’s Vernon Vipers. “This is a great opportunity for me on a professional level,” said Needham, head coach of the bantam prep program at Okanagan Hockey Academy in Penticton for the past three seasons. “I’ve been coaching for 16, 17 years and I’ve always had in the back of my mind the thought of pursuing it, hopefully, to the highest level.

“I’m at a point in my career where I had to make a decision. If you’re going to go after this, this is probably the time.” Needham, part-time skills coach with the Blazers since 2011, said the toughest part of the decision was leaving OHA, but it was impossible to pass up on the opportunity in Kamloops. “There are some great people at OHA

and lots of good friends,” said Needham, who will finish his tenure behind OHA’s bench this weekend at a tournament in Calgary before joining the Blazers on Monday, Sept. 29. “Helping build the bantam program there is something I’m proud of. “But, for me, there was no way I could turn it down. To have this opportunity, with a Hall of Fame coach in Don Hay, with an incredible organization, you couldn’t ask for a better situation.” Hay, who began his second tenure behind the Blazers’ bench in May, is familiar with Needham, having coached him in junior and coached with him

throughout training camp this season. Needham played with the Blazers from 1987 to 1990 before embarking on a six-season professional career that included 86 NHL games and a Stanley Cup victory with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1992.

“Hayzer was real comfortable with him,” Blazers’ general manager Craig Bonner said. “He’s got a real good feel for today’s athletes and how they think. “I’ve watched his teams play a lot the last two or three years at OHA and I’ve always liked the way they

played. It’s similar to the way Hayzer likes to play.” The similarities are a result of Needham’s coaching influences. “A lot of who I am today as a coach is based on playing for Don Hay and Ken Hitchcock, guys like that. I’m very familiar with his [Hay’s] systems,” Needham said. “That’s a big part of it — to know that we’re both in this together

and we both have like minds.” Needham’s son, Matt, is the Blazers’ captain and his daughter, Brett, is in Grade 12 in the Peach City. The new assistant coach’s wife, Cathy, will stay in Penticton until Brett graduates, at which point Needham expects the family will move to the Tournament Capital. Needham is looking forward to coaching his son on a regular basis, their time together having been limited over the past three seasons. “I can’t wait to spend more time,” he said. “It’ll be wonderful to be around him more throughout the season. “The one thing I can tell you about Matthew is he’s extremely professional. When we’re at the rink, I’m his coach, not his dad.” Bonner will act as interim assistant coach this weekend when the Blazers twice play the Royals in Victoria — on Friday, Sept. 26, and Saturday, Sept. 27.

Kamloops author sets merman book at TCC pool JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Danielle Mathieson Pederson has penned a merman novel set at the Canada Games Pool. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

merman trapped in the pool at the Tournament Capital Centre has been swimming around in Danielle Mathieson Pederson’s head for six years. The 27-year-old Kamloops woman has taken to crowdfunding in order to publish her fantasy-fiction novel about a 17-year-old girl who is saved from drowning by a merman named Wyn at the Kamloops recreational facility. “A good 80 per cent of the novel takes place at the TCC pool,” Mathieson Pederson said. The novel, Lasera - Book 1: The Mer Archives, is intended for a young- to new-adult audience and also takes place at McArthur Island and the Rose Garden from Riverside Park — though it’s been moved in the novel — and includes a scene in which a distraught character takes off running down Ord Road. “I think Kamloops is just a really interesting place,” Mathieson Pederson said. “It’s got a valley in the bottom, it’s got some desert feelings and qualities to it.” She also needed a town positioned away from the coast. “There’s a reason why this merman is trapped in a pool that is three hours away,” she said, without spoiling it. Mathieson Pederson works as a optometrist’s assistant in town, but writing has been her “dream job” since she was a teenager. She said she began writing her first novel when she was 15. “I only got about three chapters in,” she said with a laugh. Since then, she has worked on several ideas for novels, joined writing groups, operates a blog and recently had one of her stories picked up by Chicken Soup for the Soul’s Christmas in Canada edition.

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

ame a style of two-dimensional art and chances are good you’ll find it in the Thompson Nicola Shuswap chapter of the Canadian Federation of Artists’ fall show at the Old Courthouse Gallery. From landscapes realistic and stylized to abstracts that play with colour and texture, the 64-piece show is a survey of some of the best work from the chapter’s hundred-plus members in the region. The group meets about a half-dozen times a year and offers workshops and critiques for members.

“I have improved so much,” said Jeanette Ardern or her time with the chapter. “The fellowship is wonderful, the variety of art is wonderful. It just lights me up being with these women.” Ardern is one of the group’s abstract artists, whose featured works use a combination of textured medium, acrylic paint and everyday objects like tape rolls and lids. Liz Derksen, who uses bright colours and strong black lines to create her stylized landscapes, agrees her time with the group has helped her improve her work. “One of the biggest things is the critiques,” she said. “They’re just so helpful. There’s so many experienced, professional artists here.” Jeanette Steele also credits

the chapter with giving her a “push,” when she began to run out of time for art in her daily life. Her contributions to this year’s show include a painting featuring a canoe on a placid lake, interrupted by the same lines of multicoloured static seen when a television set goes on the fritz. Steele said she achieved the effect by isolating lines of pixels in a photo and reproducing them on canvas. “I was trying to recreate the phenomenon of lightning going off when the tv’s on,” she said. This is the 10th year for the fall show, one of two shows the group runs each year. The event is double-juried, with a panel selecting which artists will be included in the show and going over the art again to award prizes.

Art by Jeanette Steele (above) will be one of more than 60 works on display at the Old Courthouse Gallery, 7 West Seymour St., until Sunday, Sept. 28.

Author turns to Kickstarter to fund novel From page B1

“It’s about a Christmas experience I had and remembered as a child,” she said. Mathieson Pederson has about five or six novels plotted out — including the entire Lasera mer-series — but this is the first novel she has completed. With about 40 query letters and two years invested in trying to get it published, she’s hoping to get the financial boost she needs online

So far, she has raised $925 from 16 backers through the site, but

she needs to reach a full goal of $6,325 in order to receive any of it, in keeping with the website’s guidelines.

The would-be author of Lasera told KTW she came up with this composite image by using a computer to combine male face she finds attractive.

“It’s just under 15 per cent,” she said. “I could wish it to have gone a little better in the first few weeks.”

Country accolades for Kamloops man DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man is being recognized for his many years of country fame. Dan Earl Knecht is among other B.C. residents who will be inducted into the B.C. Country Music Hall of Fame on Nov. 9 by the B.C. Country Music Association. Knecht began a radio career 42 years ago in Saskatchewan, where he discovered country music. In 1976, he had moved to Kamloops to work at the city’s first FM station, CIFM, with an afternoon show that included a feature he called The Star Hour. The segment was designed to meet federal broadcasting regulations, but soon grew to be more than just a bit of information between spinning the vinyl — yes, vinyl, the mainstay of DJs back in the 1960s and 1970s. Knecht used the segment to highlight more than who was at No. 1 on the country charts, but to take a look at Nashville stars, themes and stories that made up country-music

DAD’S DUO

Ted and Katie Shumaker combine some folk and country, add a dash of bluegrass and gospel, throw in some jazz and come out with music that is Good Enough For Dad. The couple, both in their 60s, formerly performed as the band Dundeel and, later, TeKatie. They rebranded earlier this year, created a new website, recorded a new CD, All Over the Map, and have hit the road. They’ll be performing at The Art We Are on Oct. 4 at 8 p.m.

history. One such segment, What Is Jimmy Carter Doing On The Star Hour?, was requested for broadcast to the titular occupant of the White House in 1979. Knecht eventually turned the segment into a daily one-hour documentary-style feature called The Backstage Connection, something he researched, wrote, voiced and produced. When the Connection went off the air, it had been on-air and in syndication throughout B.C. and Alberta for 14 years. Knecht is still on air, with a show on B100 — and he calls Kamloops home. The Nov. 9 induction ceremony will be held at Clarke Theatre, 33700 Prentis Ave., in Mission. In its 28th year, it will feature live performances and pay tribute to B.C. music history. Several other artists from the Lower Mainland will also be inducted. Tickets for the show are on sale now at the venue, or online at ticketzone.com/hof2014. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m.

Vallis in Kelowna tonight Johnny Vallis brings his Buddy Holly tribute show to the Mary Irwin Theatre in Kelowna tonight (Sept. 25.) Tickets are $42.50 plus service charges and can be ordered by

calling 1-250-762-50505 or going online to selectyourtickets.com. Vallis discovered his ability to do other voices while still in school. He imitated his teacher and was sent to

the principal. When he told the principal why he was sent and did the voice again, the principal told him he was good at it — and that inspired Vallis’s career of tribute shows.

Make doodles, not doodies The Kamloops Art Gallery has gone googoo-gaga for art. It is hosting free sessions this fall for parents and kids to spark creativity at an early age. The 45-minute sessions begin at 11 a.m. on the last Thursday of each month until November and include a brief exhibition tour designed for toddlers and some hands-on art creation. Today (Sept. 25), the theme is drawing, followed by animal masks on Oct. 30 in preparation for Halloween, and painting on Nov. 27. Materials are made from natural pigments and dyes derived from plants, safe for children who confuse paint with food. Dress children appropriately for messy artwork. Classes are free to children under three and their parents or guardians. No registration is required. For more information, call the gallery at 250-377-2400 or go online to kag.bc.ca.

Don’t be surprised if you see more people breastfeeding in public in Kamloops. Breastfeeding Matters is breaking down the stigma by placing cutouts of mothers feeding their babies around the city.

Thanks for the mammories ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Breastfeeding could be coming to a street corner near you, thanks to a new campaign aiming to make the public more comfortable with public acts of breastfeeding. Breastfeeding Matters in Kamloops, a group of volunteers and health professionals, has created two life-sized cutouts of local mothers feeding their babies. The group plans to display the cutouts around the city. “You might see them on a street corner, or in a mall, or in the university, or at the library, just to educate the public around breastfeeding,” said group member Marion Blundell. “It’s normal, it’s the way people feed a baby — and not so much just an infant because, in these two cutouts, one child is eight months old and the other is 24 months old.”

In addition to the pictures of breastfeeding moms, each cutout also carries the message: “When breastfeeding in public is normal, you won’t be noticed.” Blundell said the group wants to encourage mothers to continue breastfeeding until their children are two years old, as recommended by the World Health Organization and Canadian Paediatric Society. Although breast milk is a cheaper option with some added health benefits, Blundell said mothers often feel uncomfortable breastfeeding older babies and toddlers in public. “Most of the general public I’ve spoken to are happy with breastfeeding,” she said. “They’ll say, ‘Oh yeah, breastfeeding is normal.’ “But, when they get to be in public, they may sometimes have reservations about themselves being uncomfortable and, as children get older, like, you’re

still feeding that baby?” By displaying the cutouts, Breastfeeding Matters hopes it can lessen discomfort for both mothers and the general public and spread the message that longer-term breastfeeding is healthy and normal. Kamloops Farmers’ Market visitors may have already spied the cutouts at last week’s Saturday market at Stuart Wood elementary. They’ll be on display at the market again this Saturday, Sept. 27. So far, Blundell said, the response has been positive. The group is also planning a breastfeeding challenge during World Breastfeeding Week, where breastfeeding women come together to feed their children en masse. The event takes place on Oct. 4 at St. Paul’s Cathedral, 360 Nicola St. Registration is at 10:30 a.m., and babies latch on at 11 a.m.

Ah, the good old bad days . . . TANYA OSBORNE SPECIAL TO KTW editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

The good old days were not so good for us after all The 1950s in North America are often referred to as the “good old days.” The economy had recovered from the Great Depression and the Second World War. Society was redefining what a family should look and act like. People were living in the country and working in the city. Life seemed to be good. In retrospect, the 1950s may have been the turning point towards the unhealthy society we live in today.

Fresh • Local • Sustainable •

Obesity was one of the leading causes of death in 2013. Two of the major contributing factors to obesity are physical inactivity and poor nutrition — and both are modifiable behaviors. As people moved to the suburbs, they were no longer able to walk to work. Their new commute involved driving to work, which is a sedentary activity. Another contributor to physical inactivity originating in the 1950s was the introduction of television to mass of society. Children, who were once entertained outdoors by running and playing, were now watching television and other screens for

entertainment — another sedentary activity. Prepared food and fast food were also becoming more refined during the 1950s in order to give people access to easy and quick food options. Society began to portray these easy options as the best and most sophisticated options. People who stayed true to the root of food production were often viewed as lower class. Medical professionals and the media even went as far as saying breastfeeding was old-fashioned and instead promoted the use of infant formula. Today we know fast food and prepared foods are often void of

Remarkable

key nutrients and loaded with unhealthy, often artificial, ingredients. We are now shifting back to the basics, encouraging people to find out where their food comes from and how it is produced. Breastfeeding is no longer seen as old-fashioned; it is now strongly encouraged by medical professionals because we know it is the safest and healthiest option a woman can give her child. We are starting to embrace and encourage active living. Children are being encouraged to unplug and play, rather than sit in front of a screen.

We have started looking towards healthier and more active modes of transportation, such as walking, bicycling, transit and carpooling. Municipalities are working on building healthier communities by creating multi-use pathways, bike lanes and promoting community gardening. In 2014, North Americans are fighting back against the lifestyle created during “good old days” to create a healthier, more sustainable society for ourselves and future generations. Tanya Osborne is a community health facilitator with the Interior Health Authority

AUTO MARKET

Audi gets permit for auto-piloted car Audi will be the first company to receive a newly established autonomous-driving permit issued by the state of California. A range of new regulations that govern the testing of automated driving on the state’s roads is now in effect. Audi has conducted research over tens of thousands of miles in Europe and various U.S. states where such testing is permitted. The research is aimed at preparing Audi’s highly automated Piloted driving system for freeway traffic conditions. Audi envisions this technology could be ready for consumer introduction within five years. California roads are especially crucial to Audi Piloted driving testing because the

state is home to the brand’s Electronics Research Lab (ERL). ERL engineers are working on a wide range of automated driving issues, including human-machine interface prompts that indicate when the human or the vehicle are handling driving functions. Audi and ERL researchers have been involved in the pursuit of automated driving from its earliest stages. Audi, ERL and Stanford University engineers collaborated on the development of the autonomous Audi TTS Pikes Peak car, which successfully completed the challenging 12.42-mile route of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb race in Colorado in 27 minutes without a human in the car.

New California laws governing the testing of automated driving have just gone into effect with Audi getting one of the first autonomous-driving permits issued. Audi recently successfully completed the challenging 12.42-mile route of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb race in Colorado in 27 minutes — without a human in the car.

Starting this month and running through January 11, 2015, the Project: Top Secret! special exhibition at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany, will showcase 16 unique vehicles, most of which have never been shown to the public. The range of automobiles on display includes top-secret concept cars, camouflaged prototypes as well as one-of-a-kind record-breaking, testing and experimental vehicles. Development, research and meticulous attention to detail make up the very core of Porsche’s success. More than 4,500 engineers work at the Porsche Development Center in Weissach, ensuring that Porsche always stays one step ahead of the competition. The path to new innovations is not always easy or straightforward. Many great ideas and concepts never make it to production due to technical or economic reasons. Seven exhibition cars date back to the 1980s, including a Porsche 959 aerodynamic prototype, a 928 Cabriolet and the Roadster Type 984 concept car that has never been shown before. The prototype of the Porsche 965 highperformance sports car, which was powered by a water-cooled V8 mounted in the rear, is also being revealed for the very first time. Cars from the 1990s include vehicles that never made it past the experimental stage, such as the four-door Porsche 989 “family sports car,” whose design turned out to set the course for future vehicle generations. The Type 986 A4 subframe ended up being just as unique. This prototype, based on a Porsche 911 Targa (Type 964), was used to test the midengine concept of the Boxster model series. From the most recent past is a camouflaged prototype of the Porsche Panamera, which reveals a great deal of insight into the comprehensive testing
