CANDIDATES SUPPORT ISIL FIGHT ďšź TO A POINT CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Canada’s parliamentarians will soon be asked to vote on the country’s commitment to combatting the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) — and KamloopsThompson-Cariboo candidates in the 2015 federal election say they support that fight.

However, the extent of Canada’s involvement in fighting ISIL — a fundamentalist group that now controls swaths of Syria and Iraq through terror — remains a question.

Canada already has military advisors working with Kurdish forces in Iraq’s north.

New Democrat Bill Sundhu said any reasonable Canadian would agree ISIL represents a threat to freedoms in the Middle East and the rest of the world, but he wants to hear from a full range of expert opinions before deciding how far the country should go toward full combat, including use of mili-

tary jets and ground troops. “What’s the end game, end time and risks to Canada and our young women and men we’ll put in harm’s way?� he asked.

Sundhu said he looks forward to a “full, non-partisan debate about what we’re really getting into. “We know Iraq is a quagmire. Syria is a quagmire . . . The minute you get bogged down in Iraq, you have a worse situation.�

Conservative MP Cathy McLeod said Prime Minister Stephen Harper has agreed to a debate in the House of Commons that will be a confidence motion, meaning it will trigger an election if the government motion does not pass.

That will force Conservative MPs to toe the party line.

McLeod said she wants to hear expert opinion and intelligence provided by Western allies, but she pointed to the air support in Libya to oust dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

“If it’s short and time-limited, it can be successful,� McLeod said. “There’s positive things that came out of Afghanistan. We’ll look forward to a fulsome debate.�

There are two people running for the Liberal nomination, a contest that will be decided tomorrow night (Oct. 4) by members in the riding during a vote at Thompson Rivers University.

Niki Remesz said a debate is essential, but she is not willing to declare what level of military involvement she would vote for if she were MP. The other challenger for the federal Grit nomination, Steve Powrie, said he would support involvement of military aircraft. “But, I would oppose committing ground troops back to the Middle East. “The outcome of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are vivid examples that powerful Western armies are ineffectual in fighting terrorist groups in their own backyards,� he said.

The Real Cost of Speeding Through A School Zone Traveling faster than 30 km/h in a school zone (in force from 8 am to 5 pm on all regular school days) could cost you big...$196 to $253 plus driver penalty points.

But, what’s the real cost of speeding through a school zone?

In Canada, pedestrian incidents are the leading cause of death for children under the age of 14. Most incidents occur between 3 and 6 pm, when motorists are coming home from work and when children may be walking home from school.

Tips for Motorists: - Slow down and drive with extra care around schools and playgrounds; - Always yield to pedestrians in crosswalks; - Be alert to vehicles stopped in the lane next to you as they may be yielding for a pedestrian; - Do not stop in “No Parking” or “No Stopping” zones or designated bike lanes.

Tips for Pedestrians: - Never jaywalk! Always use the crosswalk; - Make eye contact with drivers before crossing the street so you know they see you and they know you see them; - Look left, then right, then left again; - Don’t step onto the crosswalk until all vehicles have stopped moving; - If a crosswalk is pedestrian light controlled, press the button to activate the signal and wait until lights are flashing and traffic is stopped before crossing.

- On streets with no sidewalks, walk facing traffic, as far to the left as possible.

School’s back... drive with care.

Have your say in shaping B.C.’s political boundaries CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

While Kamloops has grown since the last time electoral boundaries were adjusted, limited population increase in neighbouring rural areas could mean changes to the two city seats.

The B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission is hosting a public hearing on Monday, Oct. 6, to take submissions on changes needed to reflect B.C.’s population growth.

The hearing in Kamloops, 10 a.m. at the Plaza Hotel, is one of 29 across B.C. “You’ve got districts in B.C. with much different populations — that’s unavoidable,” said Thomas Melnick, the B.C. Supreme Court justice who chairs the three-person panel.

In redrawing B.C.’s electoral-riding map to reflect population growth — most of it in the Lower Mainland — the commission must wrestle with factors that include grouping related cities and

towns together, ensuring votes aren’t watered down by overpopulating some ridings and attempting to limit the geographic size of rural ridings so MLAs can effectively represent citizens.

“We’ve got areas in the North we visited

“But, there are some that are not just not going to be within 25 per cent,” Melnick said.

In KamloopsSouth Thompson and Kamloops-North Thompson, populations are close to the 55,000 average.

But, the neigbour-

chairman, B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission last week with less than 30,000 population in an area that’s huge,” Melnick said.

The average electoral district in B.C. has 55,000 people.

Past commissions have allowed far fewer people in rural ridings in order to make them manageable for travel and political representation.

Ridings are not supposed to deviate from the average by more than 25 per cent.

ing rural regions of Cariboo-Chilcotin and Fraser-Nicola have about 30,000 people each.

Despite those imbalances, the legislature passed a law this year forbidding the commission from reducing the number of MLAs in

the greater Thompson, Nicola and Cariboo regions below today’s five MLAs — all of them currently Liberals.

The commission must make its preliminary report to the legislature before May 9, 2015.

The last electoralboundary change drew the line between the north and the south ridings down the Thompson and South Thompson rivers.

There are 85 MLAs today and the commission is allowed to recommend the addition of two seats.

“After being around the North part of the province for a week, the most consistent message we heard is . . . ‘leave us alone. Don’t mess with our electoral area,’” Melnick said, noting that, despite those sentiments, the commission must ensure electoral areas are reasonably balanced.

Being served with a legal claim can be troublesome. In addition to the stress of being sued, you only have a limited amount of time to respond to the claim. If you don’t respond in time, the party who initiated the claim might be able to obtain “default judgment” against you. This means that the party who was sued can obtain judgment without having to prove their claim before the court.

This is not good for you!

SO... WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO? It’s crucial to respond to a claim within the timelines provided by the rules of court. However, you need to know that there are different types of claims and different levels of court.

The type of claim and the level of court will determine how long you have to respond.

If you’ve been served with a legal claim, contact a lawyer from the Litigation Team at Fulton & Company LLP for professional advice.

Kamloops region had 339 fires CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

While the province spent $300 million fighting blazes in a near-record forest-fire season across B.C., the number of fires and hectares burned in the Kamloops region was below average.

There were 339 fires recorded in the Kamloops Fire Centre, which stretches south to the United States border and includes the Okanagan.

That is down from last year and below the 10-year average of 500.

Where do you go to school?

Merritt Secondary School

How did you become involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters?

My older sister did it for 3 years and loved it, so I decided to join as well.

What do you enjoy about the In-School Teen Mentoring Program?

What I love most is that when we are together all we do is laugh.

How often do you see your Little and what do you do?

I see my Buddy once a week for an hour. We like to bake, draw, play games, play outside, and do crafts. Basically whatever she wants to do!

How is this relationship fitting into your life?

When I am having a bad day my Little always makes me feel better and laugh. She helps me as much as I help her in the end.

However, some of the most intense fires, including Botanie Valley near Lytton, burned up nearly 3,700 hectares of timber.

Provincewide, B.C. lost 3,600 square kilometres of forest, mainly in the north.

The province spent five times its firefighting budget of $63 million.

The number of hectares lost is one of the highest on record since the 1950s.

Regionally, however, “it was below average,” said B.C. Wildfire Management Branch spokeswoman Kayla

Pepper.

But, the numbers don’t tell the whole story.

For a period in late July and early August, several fires burned aggressively and threatened thousands of homes in Kelowna.

It was accompanied by scorching heat, low humidity and high winds.

“The activity we saw was aggressive like 2009,” Pepper said.

“We haven’t seen that kind of activity for a number of years.”

The threat subsided in late August, damp-

ened by cooler weather and precipitation.

The province maintains some units and initial attack crews based in Kamloops until November.

Pepper said the main threat now is risk of open burning fires getting out of control.

While open burning is not permitted in the Kamloops area until Oct. 15, areas around Salmon Arm and Clearwater now allow it.

Pepper said some fire crews are currently doing brushing and clearing work east of the city.

Sagebrush has new owner, plan LANGLEY COMPANY BUYS EXCLUSIVE GOLF COURSE A buyer has been found for a Nicola Valley golf course built for an elite clientele that never bought in.

Langley-based Newmark Group, a property developer, has purchased Sagebrush Golf & Country Club out of receivership.

A receiver was appointed in June to manage the golf course perched above Nicola

Lake, which has recorded losses of between $3 million and nearly $5 million a year since 2009.

The court-appointed receiver has been in talks with Newmark since this past summer.

The golf course has debts of about $44 million.

The company was also tied up in litigation with former Canadian

golf great Dick Zokol, who conceived the original idea of an exclusive operation aimed at the corporate elite.

But, it sold only five memberships at $200,000 each and a planned real-estate development never materialized.

Newmark said its plans include making the course semi-private and development of

a 32,000-square-foot clubhouse.

While never financially viable, the Rod Whitman-designed course earned accolades, including being voted by Golfweek as the No. 3 spot for best modern course in Canada.

Whitman is owed $42,000 and is among dozens of unsecured creditors.

Mountaineer to be honoured by TRU Photographer and mountaineer Pat Morrow will receive an honorary degree from Thompson Rivers University this month.

Among his many accomplishments are completing the 10,000-kilometre

circumnavigation of the entire Himalayan mountain range with his wife, a trip they did on foot, bike and using local transportation.

They also completed the 600-kilometre, 80-day trip along the spine of the Himalaya

from Annapurna in central Nepal to Mount Everest.

Morrow will receive the honorary doctor of letters degree during the university’s fall convocation on Friday, Oct. 10.

PAT MORROW

Who would you recommend this program to?

I would recommend this to anyone who likes to spend time with kids and likes to have fun.

Have you noticed any benefits in your Little?

We have become really close over the past year. She knows that I will always be there for her.

Why do you think that someone should volunteer in this program?

It gives the Big Buddy a chance to take a break from their real world, to spend time with a great kid, laugh and just have fun. Also it feels good to know that you are helping someone feel better and happier in their own lives.

Anything else you would like to add?

I hope that other people take a chance on being a Big Buddy. It’s a great way to spend time and will bring a lot to their lives too.

Christmas Cheer choices?

Non-profits interested in being considered for this year’s Christmas Cheer campaign have two weeks to get their submissions to KTW, which has taken over the event that ran annually for the past 12 years under the direction of Gregg Drinnan.

Submissions need not be detailed — what the non-profit is, who it serves and how it might use the funds the event will generate.

Recipients of Christmas Cheer funding will be decided by a

committee composed of Thompson Rivers University’s Larry Read, lawyer Scott Huyghebaert (who worked with Drinnan in the past), the United Way’s Dannalee Baker, and KTW humanresources manager Cindi Hamoline.

KTW is partnering with the United Way to take advantage of its software, which will allow donations to be made online.

In-person donations will be accepted at the KTW office, 1365B

Dalhousie Dr., beginning on Dec. 1, right after the Santa Claus Parade.

During the time Drinnan ran the Christmas campaign, it raised $667,714.68 that was used to benefit charities throughout the city.

FACT-FINDING AFTER THE STRIKE

W

hat seemed like an endless summer for parents, guardians and students ended on Sept. 22 when public schools once again opened following the longest teacher strike and lockout in the province’s history.

But, to simply issue a huge collective sigh of relief and go back to business as normal would be wrong.

Approximately 500,000 students missed, to varying degrees, two weeks of school in June and three weeks of school in September — and to park that on the shelf poses significant questions.

The first query of which is obvious: If the public-education system, we’re told, can absorb the loss of five weeks of school, then why are those weeks part of the school calendar in the first place?

If there is something that can be more productively done with public money for public education, what might that be?

Just as crucial is one of the outcomes of the teachers’ settlement — an increase in the amount of money the province is to put into the system to hire more teachers and provide more help for students.

As anyone who has ever worked for a large organization knows, it’s fine to announce a large amount of money will be spent on something, but often it’s another thing altogether when it comes to actually putting boots on the ground.

What is needed here is a reporting system that will outline how many teachers and aides were hired, where they are teaching and, eventually, the educational outcome.

It is not good enough to have gone through this labour dispute and arrive at a settlement that could have (should have) been accomplished in the summer without demanding follow-up answers to these questions be delivered.

Is CUPE running city hall?

T

he big story at this year’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention was a report commissioned by the B.C. government that reveals municipal pay increases for unionized staff have been running at twice the rate of provincial raises.

When I asked Premier Christy Clark about the intent of this report, leaked just before the annual UBCM convention, she was blunt: It’s to get this issue onto the agenda for the November municipal elections, which the province has decreed shall be for four-year terms instead of three.

After local elections, discussions with surviving and incoming municipal politicians will resume.

Things have been going pretty well for the main municipal union, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, for the last couple of decades.

As local election turnout has gone from bad to worse, municipal employees themselves have become an increasingly dominant voting bloc.

Then there are the labour councils in urban centres, now almost entirely fronts for publicsector unions. They quietly survey council candidates to determine their level of affection for evergrowing public payrolls and dole out campaign funds accordingly.

Sometimes they organize full slates, with cuddly names like Protect Coquitlam to appeal to low-information voters.

During last week’s convention in Whistler, I caught up to Finance Minister Mike de Jong in a brief break from the dozens of meet-

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA ings cabinet ministers have with mayors, councillors and regional directors.

Is the province going to impose some kind of solution?

“There’s not some hidden legislative agenda,” de Jong replied.

More data needs to be gathered and the report shows ongoing problems with management salaries at the provincial level as well.

Is this the first step to imposing a tight-fisted centralized bargaining agency, such as the government set up last year to wrestle the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to the ground?

“We haven’t formulated our answer,” de Jong said. “What the data does suggest, however, is that there may well be some merit [to centralized bargaining].

“One of the recommendations points to a more co-ordinated approach to some of the negotiations that take place.”

Will the new municipal auditor general have a role in this?

“The purpose of the auditor was not to become an enforcement mechanism,” de Jong said.

“It was to play a traditional

audit function on whether taxpayers are getting value for money. To that extent, I suppose a municipal auditor might be able to comment on the advantages of coordinating efforts.”

NDP Leader John Horgan’s attack on the compensation report was as predictable as it was selective. In his speech to delegates, Horgan called it “one-sided, politically motivated, shoddy work” designed to embarrass local politicians on the eve of their elections.

Did he question Ernst and Young’s numbers, the pay increases for municipal union staff of 38 per cent between 2001 and 2012, compared to 19 per cent for unionized provincial staff?

Did he question their calculation that, over that period, inflation totalled 23 per cent? No. The facts being against him, he went with an emotional pitch to distract from them.

Recall that during the final days of the teachers’ strike, Horgan suddenly decided what was really needed was binding arbitration.

This was 24 hours after the teachers’ union took that position.

So, there’s the big question to be considered by voters as local elections draw near.

Which candidates are looking out for your interests and which ones are working on behalf of CUPE? There’s another troubling trend in manipulation of local government that was more evident than ever at the 2014 UBCM convention.

I’ll discuss that in a future column. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

PAUL LAKE NEEDS BOAT LAUNCH FOR ALL TO USE Editor: Having read KTW’s Sept 26 article about boat access to Paul Lake (‘Boaters seeking to overturn boat-launch ban’), I would very much like to voice my opinion on the matter and get involved in the discussion as to why there is no public access to this public lake.

I own an 18-foot-long wooden sailing skiff that I have been unable to launch at Paul Lake due to the lack of public boat launch. This is particularly frustrating as this would be the ideal lake to visit for day sailing or rowing and I just don’t understand how my use of this public lake would be an inconvenience to anyone else.

Despite the large number of local lakes, very few are suitable for sailing — and none as convenient as Paul Lake.

While I understand the perspective of residents as expressed in the article, it doesn’t make sense to restrict access to a few dozen residents who have made this beautiful lake their exclusive playground when it should be available for the enjoyment of all.

I am very much in favour of speed or horsepower restrictions if safety is a concern, as there are many other large lakes that are better suited for power boating.

With respect to the local residents, I would like to continue this discussion on boat access to Paul Lake and, hopefully, open up the boat launch for the enjoyment of all.

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: LETTER: UNIVERSITY EDUCATION NEEDS AN UPDATE:

Ivory Winston would like nothing more than to sail his 18-foot-long wooden skiff along the waters of Paul Lake.

“This is a great letter that is 100 per cent accurate. I would also like to add that many students who are in four-year degree programs are graduating with between $30,000 and $100,000 in student debt, thus compounding their troubles further.

“I will be advising my children to focus on applied sciences in engineering fields, accounting or law (although it seems like we might have enough lawyers already).

“Other practical programs, such as nursing and the trades, are also a smart option.”

FIVE-DOLLAR FEE HIKE IS ACTUALLY 20 PER CENT JUMP

RE: STORY: KAMLOOPS BYLAW WILL BITE WALLETS OF DOG OWNERS:

Editor: Re: (‘Kamloops bylaw will bite wallets of dog owners,’ Oct. 2): I am close to saying this is simply a case of the straw that broke the camel’s back.

For our family, the increase is a mere $5 to buy a new dog licence for our neutered canine.

Five dollars doesn’t sound quite as bad as 20 per cent but, in reality, that’s what the increase works out to be.

Having the city quote percentage increase seems to be the ideal way of making the annual property-tax hike more palatable to the tax-paying populace.

So, why not also quote this increase as a percentage?

“I do not mind the increase of $5. I love the dog parks and how pet-friendly Kamloops is.

“No complaints here!”

— posted by Rae

What surprised me very much was that only 7,000 dog licences are sold each year in Kamloops.

In 2011, Kamloops had a population of 85,678. In 2015, that figure might be closer to 90,000.

Using simple arithmetic, one might be led to believe only one person out of 12 owns a dog in Kamloops.

Either that, or there are only a certain number of honest people who license a percentage of the actual total number of dogs.

Maybe most people who buy a licence for their dog(s) can afford the increase.

My guess is some folks are seniors who are on fixed income. Every increase adds a strain

to their family budget. They maybe have a dog and get enjoyment from taking it for a daily walk and never use a dog park.

I hope this is an issue that gets raised in a question period at one of the upcoming civicelection forums.

I hope the question gets asked by an honest person who worked hard all their life, now lives on a fixed income and went through times when their kids wanted something the family couldn’t afford and the answer was “no.”

I think it’s high time somebody on council says “no” to these ideas for things that aren’t really needed.

Peter Sharp was a city councillor from 1999 to 2005. He is trying to return to city hall via the Nov. 15 election.

Sharp sees need for change ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

For the second time in as many years, Kamloops voters will see Peter Sharp’s name on their ballots when they head to the polls on Nov. 15.

After an unsuccessful run as a B.C. Conservative for the Kamloops-South Thompson MLA’s seat in the 2013 provincial election, Sharp is hoping voters will finally return him to the council seat he lost in 2005.

“I think that there’s a need for some change on council,” Sharp said.

“I want to campaign that council is business-

friendly and residentsfriendly because, from the people I’ve talked to, they don’t think they’re very receptive to suggestions.”

Sharp, a retired RCMP officer, served on

place in 2008 and in 10th spot in 2011.

“I think my past experience is still a help,” said Sharp, who noted he served on or chaired many of the city’s committees and

city council from 1999 to 2005, when he lost his seat by a margin of 128 votes.

Though he’s run in every civic election since, voters have never thrown quite enough support behind Sharp for a return to city hall, putting him in ninth

spent time as a director with the ThompsonNicola Regional District.

It’s one of those committees, the Mayor’s Task Force on Red Tape, that Sharp is hoping to bring back if he’s returned to council.

“Businesspeople and citizens can direct their complaints to that committee, who will look into it,” said Sharp, who argued the current council isn’t doing enough to attract new industries and companies to the city.

“Some of the people on council I have a lot of respect for, but some of them I don’t think are very business-friendly,” he said.

Sharp said being seen as a businessfriendly city is important if Kamloops wants to stave off rising tax bills.

“The businesses that pay taxes to the city are asking for a break on taxes,” he said.

“So, if they get a break on taxes, the citizens have to take the excess burden themselves, the homeowners, and that’s why I feel there’s a need for us to encourage businesses to come here.”

Sharp said wellpaying jobs should be among the city’s top priorities, which is why he’d like to see the controversial Ajax mine be approved — but only if it’s environmentally sound.

He also wants to see the city look at adding to its industrial land base in the area near Copperhead Drive.

Hasler wants to add to a fresh makeover on council ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

These days, she’s busy trimming and sudsing the city’s dogs, but Tanja Hasler is hoping her past experience working in the Swiss banking industry, as well as her small-business credentials, can propel her to a seat on Kamloops city council.

Hasler, owner of Tanja’s Pet Grooming, is among the latest candidates to add her name to the ballot for the Nov. 15 election.

Hasler is a dual citizen who grew up in Kamloops before moving to Switzerland for 10 years after graduating from the University College of the Cariboo (the predecessor to Thompson Rivers University).

She returned to the Tournament Capital five years ago to raise her children closer to family.

“Kamloops is my home and I’d like it to be a great home for my kids as well,” Hasler said.

She hopes to focus her campaign on city spending, improving the downtown and Tranquille Market and bringing more family doctors to the Kamloops.

“It’s always important to have an ongoing effort in the city to review expenditures, current expenditures, find efficiencies in the way money is currently spent so you can free up money for other purposes,” she said.

While Hasler believes the current council has made “good efforts” to keep costs down, she noted property taxes have been rising, as have city wages.

“These are things that always need to be constantly monitored and looked at,” she said.

“I know they do a fair job. I believe also that

having new faces on council, fresh ideas, fresh insight, to keep looking at those questions is very, very valuable.”

For the North Shore and downtown, Hasler said the city needs to improve its marketing for both areas to locals and tourists, work with landowners to fill vacant lots on the North Shore with businesses and move quickly to address parking issues downtown.

She suggests the city also lend its support to more events that will entice people downtown and consider offering discounted parking during the Christmas shopping season.

Hasler said she has made doctors a priority in her campaign because she spent years without a family physician.

“With two young children with health issues, going to medical clinics was very challenging,” she said, adding doctors can save the city money in the long run through preventative care.

Hasler said the physician issue is one city council can’t solve by itself.

“But, as a council member I would definitely want to contribute to ensure that efforts are ongoing.”

On the Ajax mine question, Hasler has yet to make up her mind about the controversial copper and gold mine and wants to first see the company’s submission for environmental review.

However, she said she would support a citywide referendum on the mine once more information is made available.

Tanja Hasler has groomed plenty of pets and is now hoping her campaign will groom her for a seat on Kamloops city council. She is focusing on city spending and luring more doctors to town.

Michael Carroll knew he had to do something when he saw one of his two young daughters being bullied in a schoolyard.

“The teachers did nothing about it,” Carroll said, and that’s one of the reasons he’s put his name forward for a seat at the Kamloops-Thompson school-board table.

Carroll said he believes the board needs some new ideas and new blood to reinvigorate a system that, year after year, keeps asking for more money.

With a background in financial planning and risk management, the Hub International employee said some ideas are as basic as putting video cameras on school properties to provide an extra layer of oversight to ensure children are safe, that discourages predators

from hanging around and that might also be used to identify those who do vandalism to school properties.

He’s got an idea about how to pay for it, as well, noting that every school day, his two daughters are put on a bus at school and ride to another location for day-care coverage until they can be picked up and taken home.

“Why can the board set up a way to rent space for this?” Carroll asked. “Why don’t we use the schools?”

“Every day, there’s another sales pitch for something in my kids [lunch] bags,” he said.

While this is his first jump into seeking a public office, Carroll has been on various boards in past years, including a stint as the president of the B.C. Film and Television and the B.C. Fishing Resort Outfitter associations.

Kamloops’ Grade 4 math whiz Jodh Singh Nahal of Dufferin elementary poses with his medal haul. His last year’s teacher Lorry Eacrett and principal Mike Bowden have been big cheerleaders of the smart pupil.

DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

W

hen Jodh Singh Nahal finished writing a math test in April, he had the principal of his school make a copy he could show his mom.

Mom Navneet Kaur Nahal checked his answers and told him he had one wrong.

“But, he looked at me and said, ‘No, it’s right,’” she said.

“And, I checked it again — and it was.”

Every answer was right in the national math competition run by Mathematica Centrum, which creates and administers the annual competition from grades 3 through 9.

More than 65,000 students took part in this year’s event.

Jodh was in Grade 4 when he wrote the test in principal Mike Bowden’s office, the only student in the school — or the province — and one of 19 in Canada to get all 30 questions correct in the 45-minute time period set aside.

Although mom’s review of his answers — she has degrees in economics and business — confirmed what he was pretty sure about anyhow, Jodh, now in Grade 5 at Dufferin elementary, said it was still good to get the official confirmation from the Quebec organization.

Lorry Eacrett, his teacher last year, said there was an added benefit to having a grades 4/5 split because it gave Jodh an opportunity to follow the Grade 5 math curriculum — and, when that became easy and he wasn’t helping other students with the work, she found other ways to help challenge his math skills.

He’s in a grades 5/6 split this year.

Jodh already received a certificate and medal for his participation and for being the best

from B.C. in this year’s challenge and, on Monday, Oct. 6, he’ll receive another medal during an assembly at school.

He’s already received some praise for his success, though.

“The teacher told the whole class about my achievement,” Jodh said. “And, all the teachers congratulated me.”

It was mom who learned of the test and thought her son would be interested.

Jodh agreed.

“I like math a lot, so I wanted to do it,” he said, noting he took the full allotted time because he wanted to check his answers.

“Five or six of them were really tough,” he said.

“One was really hard. I liked doing it, though, and I’m going to do all of them.”

He’s already identified potential math competitions for grades Mathematica Centrum doesn’t cover.

While Jodh enjoys math, he’s also keen on science and loves sports, playing on his school’s basketball team, hitting the soccer fields in the city’s houseleague program and making it to zone finals in several track-and-

field events last year, including the 100-, 200-, 400-, 800- and 1,500-metre races, triple jump, shot put and high jump.

Needless to say, he likes school, too — and not just math.

“Science,” he said. “I like science. I like the technology.”

Jodh received plenty of help as he prepared for the test.

The organization provides sample quizzes for practice and mom and dad, Jaswinder Singh Nahal, helped him with them.

Even younger brother Jora, who is in kindergarten at Dufferin this year, got in on the act, helping his big brother get paper and pencils together during the spring break for his studying.

While receiving the medal on Monday will be a thrill, Jodh is looking forward to a bigger one at home.

“I got a medal in university that I have framed,” mom Navneet said.

“And, one day, when he saw it, he said he would make sure there was another framed up there, too.

“Mine wasn’t any big thing, but his — his is special.”

How longtime Storm owner blustered into Kamloops before problems with the city and the team’s tenancy agreement saw him head out on the road in search of a new home for the Storm. He had narrowed it down to three locations: Armstrong, Winfield and Chase.

Despite being in Osoyoos, Dewar had a number of Kamloops players on the team in those days, one of whom was a young man named Ryan Kurzak.

Ryan’s father, Rick, told Dewar to stop by for a beer and a steak if he was ever in the Tournament Capital. It was while Dewar was out on the road, scouting locations, that he cashed in on the offer.

“So, we went over there, he asked why we were here and, the next thing you know, Rick made all the arrangements for us to move the team here,” Dewar says.

“It just sort of fit into place.”

The thought of moving the Storm to Kamloops had never dawned on Dewar. He thought of the city as “Blazerville.”

But, things moved quickly and the right people got on board. He had a meeting with the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association president the following morning, in which he was promised the ice time the team would need.

The Olympic sheet at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre had just been opened and the city was looking for a permanent tenant as the surface was too big for youngsters.

The perfect storm of happenstance seemed to be continuing.

Before long, the team was playing its first season in the Tournament Capital.

Dewar spends most of his time on McArthur Island nowadays — owning and managing a hockey team is time-consuming business.

In the hours he does get away, he enjoys curling — he won backto-back club championships on a team with Gord Pratt a few years

ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

I

t was a perfect storm of happenstance that led to Barry Dewar becoming the owner of the Kamloops Storm.

Along the way, things could have been a lot different — he was very nearly the owner of the Armstrong Storm, for instance.

Dewar purchased the Kamloops Storm, then the Osoyoos Heat, in 2000. The Kootenay International Junior Hockey League had been in the process of stripping the team’s then-owner of the club and had planned to fold the franchise.

At the time, Dewar was a property developer in the region and lived a stone’s throw from the rink, the Osoyoos Sun Bowl.

He had connections to the hockey community — he had served on the Heat’s board for seven years and his wife, Sandi, owned the Sun Bowl concession, a profitable business that relied on the Heat’s fan base.

So, Dewar, a self-described basketball player more than a hockey guy, made a decision — he stepped in to save his wife’s business and junior B hockey in the Southern Okanagan Valley.

He purchased the Heat and renamed it the Storm. There’s always a storm after the heat, he explains.

“I’m not sure that it balances out at the end of the day,” Dewar says with a laugh, now 14 years later.

“There are days when I want to get out of it but, mostly, it’s a lot of fun. Dealing with the kids can be a lot of fun. There can be a lot of trying experiences, you have the ups and the downs, but I don’t know what I’d do if I sold it or quit.”

Following his purchase, Dewar spent five seasons in Osoyoos,

back — and plays the occasional golf game. He’s actively involved in his church, the Summit Drive Baptist church, and still finds time to volunteer.

Storm head coach Ed Patterson says Dewar lives for helping the kids on his teams. He says seeing young men achieve success, in hockey or in life, is why Dewar has spent more than 20 years with the team.

With a hint of seriousness, Dewar sometimes jokes the team has produced more doctors than hockey players.

“Him and Sandi are probably the most giving people I’ve ever met in my life,” Patterson says.

“He’s a hard guy to live up to.”

Sandi says Dewar lives for his grandchildren. He has two — three-year-old Sierra and 18-month-old Gage — and four kids, Curtis, Johnathan, Nathan and Amanda.

Amanda is dancer and instructor in South Africa. Curtis and the grandkids recently moved to Ontario. Johnathan lives in Kelowna and Nathan still lives in Osoyoos, where he works at the Sun Bowl.

Outside of the rink, Dewar is known as a man who lives for his family, for helping people.

Inside the rink, he’s a man who lives to win.

In the 20 years that have passed since the day he first got involved with the Osoyoos Heat, Dewar has done plenty of both.

Tempest trifecta

The Storm are playing three games in three nights this weekend.

After playing hometown 100 Mile House tonight (Oct. 3), Kamloops will return home to host Sicamous tomorrow at McArthur.

Game time is 7 p.m.

Revelstoke is in town on Sunday, with puck-drop slated for 5 p.m at McArthur.

Barry Dewar had no intention of moving his junior B hockey franchise to Kamloops, but that’s what happened in 2006 — and he’s been here ever since. The Storm play twice this weekend in the Tournament Capital.

As the only returning player to the Thompson Blazers, it would be easy to assume Tyler Collens was the team’s default choice for captain.

His experience certainly played a role, but head coach Mark Chase’s decision to stitch the ‘C’ on his chest was about more than having experience with the team.

“Tyler, I find, has really matured over the last year,” Chase said.

The forward finished 2013-2014 with seven points, including two goals, and 16 penalty minutes in 34 games.

“I just find that he’s very, very eager and accepting to everything that we’ve been telling him. Everything that was told to him last year, he’s telling the new guys

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Tyler Collens of Salmon Arm is the captain of the major midget Thompson Blazers.

this year,” Chase said.

“He’s just, in all honesty, one of those very likeable guys — everyone just gravitates to him.”

As the only player to return to the Blazers for 2014-2015, Collens said he’s certainly feeling some pressure in

the young B.C. Major Midget League season.

He’s hoping his experience, as both a veteran and an out-of-town player, can help the rest of the squad adjust.

“I wanted to show some leadership to these young guys and show them what the

league is like,” the Salmon Arm native said of his decision to return to Thompson.

“It’s not like minor hockey. It’s a big step, like junior hockey.”

Kamloops players on the Blazers’ roster include forwards Matthew Facchinelli, Hunter Bennett, Ryan Ignace, Greg Lind, Austen McKean, Brendan Mongey, Conan Poss and Tyler Ward and defencemen Zac Austin, Garrett Ewert, Jaxon Reid and Harrison Rosch.

The season has been filled with some challenging moments for the Blazers — in four regular season games, the team has yet to secure a victory and has only one goal to its credit.

Thompson will look to turn things around tonight (Oct. 3) against the Kootenay Ice. The

team will take to the ice at Interior Savings Centre at 6:30 p.m.

The teams will play a rematch tomorrow (Oct. 4), again at ISC, at 10 a.m.

Chase knew there would be some tough moments this season, but he also knew 16-year-old Collens would be the type of captain who could help the Blazers weather the storm.

Both on the ice and off, he’s showing Thompson what it’s going to take to find success in the league.

“He’s the hardestworking guy in practice right now,” Chase said.

“Through a couple of words, he can get guys going and get them smiling, too. At the end of the day, when things are tough, he wants them to have fun and that’s kind of been his mentality.”

Kamloops paddlers finish third at provincials The Kamloops Canoe and Kayak Club placed third out of nine teams at the B.C. Championships/Pacific Cup, held in Maple Ridge on Saturday, Sept. 27, and Sunday, Sept. 28.

In the novice men’s division, Isaiah Buist was second in both the K-1 200-metre and K-1 1,000-m.

KNEEN, NEEDHAM HAVE NIGHT TO REMEMBER MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

It was a game of Western Hockey League firsts for Mike Needham and Nolan Kneen.

Needham made his debut as the Kamloops Blazers’ assistant coach and Kneen played his first regular-season game with the Blue and Orange — a 3-1 win over the Swift Current Broncos at Interior Savings Centre on Wednesday, Oct. 1.

The debutants were thrown into the fire, Needham running an undermanned, inexperienced group of defencemen which included Kneen, who saw plenty of key minutes as a wide-eyed 15-year-old. “I was nervous to be honest with you,�

Needham told KTW. “It was the first time in a long time I’ve had butterflies. I enjoyed myself, though. The kids played real well after a shaky first period.�

Kneen’s first shift in the Dub was on the power play. He registered the game’s first shot on goal. The North Vancouver product tallied his first WHL assist in the first period.

He’ll be the first to tell you he was dealing with the same butterflies Needham was fighting off.

The Blazers were without three of their regular rearguards, with Josh Connolly and Michael Fora, both 19, out with upper-body injuries and 17-yearold Patrik Maier serving the second game of a three-game suspension.

Ryan Rehill, 18, and Brady Gaudet, 20, seemed to never leave the ice and Needham credited the rest of the defencemen — 17-year-olds Cam Reagan and Travis Verveda and 18-yearold Connor Clouston — for holding their own.

Kneen, at 165 pounds, was never going to win many physical battles and there were mistakes, but being 15 is not his choice and the errors were to be expected. “I thought he was excellent,� Needham said of Kneen. “I’ve seen that kid play a few games when I was coaching bantam.

He’s got ice-water in his veins.�

Needham last week announced he was leaving his position as head coach of the bantam program at Okanagan Hockey Academy (OHA) in Penticton to join the Blazers.

Kneen and his bantam AAA North Shore Winter Club Winterhawks were no strangers to grudge

matches with OHA. After getting a taste of life in the WHL, Kneen has returned to the Okanagan Rockets of the B.C. Major Midget League. “It’s a little bit tough [leaving], but I’m hoping to get back up here soon,� Kneen told reporters on Wednesday. “It was great to get that under my belt, but I’ve got to help out with my team back home.�

PLAYOFFS OPEN WITH EPIC GAME, BUT BASEBALL STILL NEEDS FIXING TIM DAHLBERG

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Opening night of the baseball playoffs provided some great theatre, assuming you could stay awake long enough to watch.

That the 12th-inning win by Kansas City over Oakland took nearly five hours to play highlights a problem baseball still has to address.

Still, the return to small ball in a sport plagued by steroids should be celebrated just as much as the first post-season win by the Royals in 29 years.

But, as Bud Selig prepares to take a victory lap on behalf of the owners he represented so well, there are issues he hasn’t handled nearly as well. While the game is awash in cash that is making both owners and players richer than ever, it has become increasingly marginalized as a national sport as attendance sags in some cities and television ratings continue to sink.

Incoming commissioner Rob Manfred has a chance to do something about that. As the playoffs begin, here are a few suggestions to help the grand old game: HIRE VINNY — Clayton Kershaw may get the Dodgers in the World Series all by himself, but how about giving us a treat once they’re there? Put Vin Scully in the broadcast booth for Game 1 and let of the rest of the nation find out why the 86-year-old announcer is so revered

in Southern California.

Nothing to lose, because World Series ratings have been sinking for decades now.

SET THINGS STRAIGHT — Selig will be gone in January, which is probably a good thing for baseball.

Selig did what commissioners are supposed to do, which is make owners money and get taxpayers to build new ballparks. But he turned a blind eye to the steroid scandal and will leave office still thinking Barry Bonds is the career home run leader. The new commissioner should on his first day of the job declare any offensive mark set between 1988 (Jose Canseco’s heyday) and today void simply because they can’t be believed.

SOLVE THE DH — Either ban the designated hitter all together or make it mandatory in the National League, too. No other sport plays by different rules in different divisions, but baseball hasn’t figured out the DH dilemma since it was introduced in the American League 41 years ago.

FIX INSTANT REPLAY — Baseball was a latecomer to the instant replay party, but got it mostly right in its inaugural season. What needs to go away is the dance that has developed when managers come out of the dugout

to stall while getting word whether to appeal a call or not.

LET PETE IN — It’s way past time to allow Pete Rose back into the game. Selig’s refusal to revisit the subject of the hits king doesn’t make sense anymore, if it ever did.

SPEED THINGS UP — In one of his final acts in office, Selig formed a committee to come up with recommendations to speed up games that now top out at an average of more than three hours apiece. No committee needed because it’s mostly common sense.

Make batters stay in the box; don’t let pitchers stroll from the mound.

Add to that some batting gloves that don’t need to be constantly adjusted, and the game will suddenly be a half hour shorter.

ALL STARS — If Manfred still has time on his first day he should abolish Selig’s rule giving the league that wins the All-Star game home-field advantage in the World Series.

ONE SONG IS ENOUGH — Playing the national anthem before the game is a time-honoured tradition that began in baseball and has been embraced by almost every sport. But is there really a need for another song during the seventh-inning stretch to remind us we live in the greatest country on earth? ``God Bless America’’ is a fine tune, but fans buy tickets for a baseball game, not a patriotic rally.

Today’s MLB playoff matchups There are four Major League Baseball post-season matchups scheduled today (Oct. 3).

The Baltimore Orioles are hosting the Detroit Tigers, with first pitch slated for 9:07 a.m.

Justin Verlander is throwing for the Tigers and Wei-Yin Chen will be on the mound for the Orioles.

Jake Peavy and the hometown San Francisco Giants lock horns with Stephen Strasburg and the Washington Nationals at 12:07 p.m.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals get underway at 3:37 at Dodger Stadium.

Adam Wainwright will deal for St. Louis and Clayton Kershaw is going for the Dodgers.

Not too far down the road in Anaheim the Los Angeles Angels host a showdown with the Kansas City Royals, with first pitch slated for 6:37 p.m.

Yordano Ventura gets the start for the Royals and Matt Shoemaker gets the nod for the Angels.

property. The latest theft occurred sometime overnight on Friday the 26th of September, when someone entered the garage, took a power washer and some hand tools. This time the thief left the garage door wide open and there was no sign of the door being forced open.

VANDALISM AND THEFT TO FORESTRY EQUIPMENT This theft took place in the Rural area of Kamloops on the Timber Lake Forestry Rd at the 9 km mark, sometime overnight on Thursday 24th of September. The contractor had arrived at the work site the following day and found suspects had broken into a utility trailer and took a welder, then entered 6 different pieces of logging equipment and

took 6 portable radios from each of the logging vehicles. The value to replace all the items is over $15,000, then damage to the other equipment was approximately a $1000. These thefts are in a rural, semi isolated area but this time of year there are hunters in the area and the ranchers are gathering the cattle along the Logging roads. Someone may recall

seeing the suspects on the Timber Lake road or near the logging machinery or noted a vehicle parked in a unusual place.

If you have any information on this theft or know the whereabouts of any of the property, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will remain anonymous and only your information will be used never your name.

ò Obituaries & In Memoriam ô Others Who Have Gone Before

ANDREIS (ANDY) MEZALS September 1, 1926 - September 24, 2014

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Andreis (Andy) Mezals. He passed away peacefully at the Ridgeview Care Home, in Kamloops, BC on Sept. 24, 2014. He had just celebrated his 88th birthday.

He was predeceased by his parents, his two sisters Jadviga and Eleanor, and exwife Vikki. Andy is survived by his brother Voldemars, nieces Ilze Purmale and Anna Suslavia in Latvia.

Andy owned Westgate Drywall and under his supervision worked on projects like the Aberdeen Mall, Sagebrush Theatre, and many residences in Logan Lake, Williams Lake, and Kamloops. In his younger years he loved to hunt and fish with friends.

His passion was bowling, golfing, dancing, and taking trips down south to the casinos.

Andy will be missed by his dancing, fishing and travelling friend Jenny Comazzetto. He will also be missed by his family in Latvia and many friends that he made throughout his years. His friends will remember him by his lively dance step. He was genuinely loved by all those who knew him.

By Joanetta Hendel, Indianapolis, Indiana

Others who have gone before Hold up my trembling hand.

They comfort me in the blind despair I cannot understand.

They suffer with me when I hurt, Weep with me in my pain, Remind me that we are not lost ...

Though I must now remain.

Those who’ve gone before me, Hear me when I cry.

Sing softly with me soothing chords Of unsung lullabies.

Mourn anniversaries never marked, A future I cannot keep.

They gently kiss the pain away, And love my heart to sleep.

The ones who’ve gone before me Hold me in my dreams.

They gently stroke my furrowed brow, And calm my silent screams.

They love me in my heartache, Wait quietly nearby., Hold patiently, one to another Till I join them by and by.

Thank you to the staff at the Ridgeview Orchard Lane for your compassion and support, to Dr. Wynn for your care and to Irena Kamse in Latvia for all those cards you sent every week for the past year and nine months.

Should friends desire, donations may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation in memory of Andy.

No formal service at Andy’s request. A Celebration of Life to be announced at a later date.

With profound sadness and an acute sense of loss, the Campagnaro family sadly announces the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and sister.

Maria is predeceased by her father Angelo, mother Santina, and brothers-in-law Rodolfo and Antonio (Anna) from Italy. Maria is survived and will be sadly missed by her husband Guido of 49 years, two children Mauro & Sabrina, grandchildren Roma & Lucca, brothers Gianni (Emma) & Albino (Vera), sister Dina, many nieces and nephews in Italy, and her extended family in Canada.

Maria was 18 years old when she came to Canada from her home town of Rosa, Italy accompanied by her mother-in-law & father-in-law. She came to Canada to marry the love of her life Guido Campagnaro. Together they had two beautiful children Mauro & Sabrina. At the beginning of her life in Canada, Maria had a tough time to integrate into this society. With her determination and dedication, she had the courage to overcome the obstacles she faced. The language barrier was the main hurdle; however, she knew that if she put her mind into learning English, she would have a better life in this, according to her, “strange country.”

Maria had many accomplishments in her life. When she was 12 years old, she worked at a ceramic factory in Italy. After learning the English language from a private teacher, she got the courage to go to school. In 1987, she graduated from the Fine Arts Program at Cariboo College in Kamloops, BC. She also volunteered at the Kamloops Art Gallery; however, her main job was at the Kamloops Museum & Archives. She worked as a Museum Attendant for 15 years until her health caused her to retire in 2000. She also taught art for young children at the museum and at St. Ann’s Academy for grade eight children.

Prayers will be recited on Sunday, October 5, 2014 at 7:00 pm and the Funeral Mass, presided by Father Fred Weisbeck will follow the next day, Monday, October 6, 2014 at 10:30 am at Holy Family Parish, 2797 Sunset Drive, Kamloops.

The family wishes to acknowledge and express their immense gratitude for the medical care and close attention she received by the interdisciplinary team at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, BC and for the cardiology unit. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation in memory of Maria will be very much appreciated.

She is sadly missed by her partner Shawn, her two children Ashley and Nathan, parents Rick and Marion Naylor, her sister Julia (Mike) and brother Mark (Angie), aunts and uncles, (UK and USA) cousins, nieces and nephews and a very large extended family.

Dawn came to Canada as an infant from the UK with her parents. Settling first in Alberta, then BC, then Saskatoon only to eventually settle in and grow up in Maple Ridge. Her first love as a child was her horse Shasta whom she spent many happy days with.

Dawn always had a zest for life and was very proud of her two children and their accomplishments. She also had an insatiable love of many sports and the players. In recent years she developed a yearning to create wonderful memories of her life and children by scrapbooking, where once again strong friendships were made.

Dawn fought a long, hard and courageous battle with cancer and after a wonderful stay at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home, she passed peacefully in the company of Shawn and the wonderful Hospice people. We wish to thank all the staff, RN’s, HCA’s, MD’s and the many volunteers.

There will be a Celebration of Life at Dallas Barnhartvale Baptist Church, 495 Todd Road on Saturday, October 4th at 10 am. In lieu of flowers, should friends desire, donations in Dawn’s name would be appreciated by the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home or the RIH Cancer Foundation.

The more you give, The more you get, The more you laugh,

The less you fret.

The more you do unselfishly.

The more you live abundantly.

The more of everything you share,

The more you’ll always have to spare.

The more you love, the more you’ll find,

That life is good and friends are kind.

For only what we give away,

Enriches us from day to day.

, , , Each Loss ...

Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe.

Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear?

Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared.

I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow.

So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow.

Now my life is all confused Since you went away.

You took a part of me And for help I daily pray.

But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time.

Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears.

Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

New Orleans, a city with a haunted past in the 1830s and one of the most haunted locations in the city.

“The LaLauries were a very wealthy, philanthropic couple who once lived here.

“He was a doctor, but there was something weird about Mrs. LaLaurie,” Sell says.

“Her slaves just kept disappearing.”

It turns out, the doctor and his wife had been conducting horrific experiments on their slaves, mutilating and murdering them.

The LaLauries disappeared the night of the city’s fire, never to be seen again, but firemen later found the disfigured remains of 40 slaves buried on the property.

For the next 70 years, the mansion stood empty.

After Hurricane Katrina, actor Nicholas Cage bought the property, spending one night in it before declaring bankruptcy.

Since then, no-one has managed to hold onto the house for more than a few years.

“I’ve had people on my tours get physically ill and feel nauseous as we approach this mansion,” Sell says.

“They see slaves in the windows. And, when they try to take pictures, their cameras suddenly refuse to work or the pictures come out with orbs of light that weren’t visible at the time.

here’s nothing like a ghost tour to send chills down your spine and, if there’s one place where a tour like this feels believable — it’s New Orleans.

People have been drawn to the city for years and many of them have found it difficult to leave, even in the afterlife.

On a warm night in April, Rebecca Sell, a guide with Haunted History Tours of New Orleans, warns us what to expect on our tour.

“Most often people see orbs of light, but sometimes they see fingers,” she says candidly.

“Some of the hauntings are emotional so, if you’re feeling sadness in a space or a force of negative energy, trust your instincts.”

For the next two hours, we shuffle around the French Quarter’s quieter streets, our path dimly lit by flickering gas lamps.

Historic buildings with ornate, wroughtiron balconies line both sides of the street, each nursing its own story of days gone by.

On Delphine Street, Sell draws us close to relate the story behind the LaLaurie Mansion, a building constructed

urged my son to aim his camera lens at the dark windows on the third floor.

The photograph we examined just seconds later was different from what we’d seen with our naked eyes.

As Sell described, inexplicable streaks of light appeared on our images and those of others on the tour.

Sell’s tour is full of grotesque stories that frighten but, somehow, mesmerize us.

Outside an abandoned building near the French Market, we learn about a group of kids that took their game of vampires to an extreme, drinking the blood of one of their friends and later hanging him after he lost consciousness.

No-one wants to stay a minute longer and, with relief, we move in the direction of Bourbon street’s throbbing music and inebriated crowds.

The ghosts and macabre stories of the previous night’s haunted tour begin to dissipate and we move into the warm, sticky humidity of New Orleans’ French Quarter, gratefully absorbing its colorful, vibrant, boisterous personality that bursts from every corner.

Ghosts and all, there’s nothing quite like New Orleans.

WHAT’S HAPPENING

THIS WEEKEND

OCTOBER 3, 2014

JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

om Thacker is looking forward to returning to Kamloops.

Gob’s 41-year-old lead singer and guitarist now lives in New York City, but he is a Langley native and his early career brought him to Kamloops several times.

He called the Kamloops punk-rock scene in the 1990s a “pretty happening scene,” one where what he called their “punk rock” or “punk pop” or

“rock band” fit in well.

“The scene really grew and there would be 500 kids,” Thacker said.

“That’s amazing for punk-rock shows.”

“We weren’t used to that in Vancouver.”

He will be promoting Gob’s latest album, Apt. 13, at the Blue Grotto on Wednesday, Oct. 8, alongside bandmates Theo Goutzinakis, also singing and on guitar, drummer Gabe Mantle and bassist Steven Fairweather.

The album was released in late August and marks seven years since Gob’s last album, Muertos Vivos, which was

After seven year years, Gob has put out a new album an and the first stop on a cross-Canada tour is Kamloops.

Gob will be play playing the Blue Grotto on Wednesday, Wedn Oct. 8.

released in 2007.

Thacker said the band wasn’t on any sort of break.

“We started making this record in 2010,” he said.

“We were just busy.”

Thacker is also the lead guitarist for another Canadian band, Sum 41.

There’s not much going on with the band lately, however, due to lead singer Derek Whibley’s health problems.

“We’re talking about music,” Thacker said.

“That’s a good sign.”

It’s allowed Thacker to concentrate on Gob. Seven years later, fans

will notice a more upbeat sound with Apt. 13.

The last record came from a “dark place,” Thacker said, noting several changes from management to their record label and an influx of bass players.

“It was a strange time,” he said. “We made an angry record.”

He wanted this record to be something fun to perform on stage.

But, while the album is more energetic in nature, Thacker said it still contains sad lyrics.

“With getting older, you just end up writing stuff that has a little more world

weary,” he said.

“You write songs that are, I guess, sadder.”

His is meeting up with his bandmates in Vancouver to rehearse before heading on the road to Kamloops.

The band’s 25-show tour will take them across Canada and back — and it begins in the Tournament Capital.

WONDERING, WANDERING ABOUT LOCKED-IN LOVE

World-wide expressions of love have popped up in the Tournament Capital

A

re Leanne and Larry in love?

Their initials are inscribed on a lock.

That lock is shut tightly and permanently at eye level around a chain-link fence lining the pedestrian bridge leading from the west end of Riverside Park up to Overlanders Bridge.

Leanne and Larry’s lock is the neatest and tidiest and was carefully planned, considering it is professionally engraved.

Perhaps it was the first.

Perhaps it is the most forever.

JESSICA WALLACE

Surely, it is the most thought out of all the surrounding locks.

Are Brian and Alyssa in love?

Their names are scratched into another lock.

It is messier than Leanne and Larry’s, but one can appreci-

ate how the names nam have been bee carved so deeply into the dee lock’s loc golden face fac — by hand. han Perhaps it shows an sh eager eag desire to express their e p love.

Perhaps it is the most passionate.

Surely it has earned its place on the fence next to Leanne and Larry’s lock, if only for its effort.

Do F.O. and H.T. — or is it H.I.? — share a different kind of love?

Their lock shines similarly to Brian and Alyssa’s in the sun,

but with black initials penned in permanent marker.

A simple message is also spelled out on the lock in three letters — “BFF.” A fruit label is stuck to this lock, covering H.’s second initial, making it indecipherable with the placement of a grocery code for a “Black Plum.”

Did someone purposefully deface this lock while walking along the bridge?

Perhaps it was intentional. Perhaps it was an inside joke between F. and H., something most BFF’s tend to share.

Four other love locks are clasped to

CRAB & LOBSTERFEST

this area of the fence, easy to miss along the path that overlooks the intersection of the North and South Thompson rivers.

The simple safety devices are symbols of love that can be found all over the world and have somehow made their way to Kamloops.

Lovers inscribe their names or initials on a lock, fasten it to a bridge, fence or other structure and toss away the key to symbolize everlasting love.

The mystery and romance of it all is beautiful.

The way they accumulate, however, has, at times, led to love unrequited.

In Paris, a blogger started an online petition to “please unlock your love” and save Paris’s “frail, old bridges,” not to mention the waterways below with all of the sunken, thrown-away keys left to rust in them.

An article in the summer by the

Associated Press reported that the thousands of locks that cling to the Pond des Arts in the world’s most romantic city have led to a chunk of fencing collapsing under their weight.

In New York City, the famed Brooklyn Bridge hasn’t felt the love lately.

Once known for its love locks, the bridge is now littered with everything — bras, condoms, tampons, twist ties, ear buds and any trash you can affix to the structure.

The world-famous crossing has become more of a gar-bridge, really.

Closer to home, love locks were removed from the Burrard Bridge in Vancouver just last year.

Like the caved-in Parisian fence, these cases give me a heavy heart because love locks aren’t vandalism — they are art from the heart.

Think of Leanne

and Larry’s time and thoughtfulness.

Consider the work that went into Brian and Alyssa’s lock.

They are so much more than a lock on a fence. They are a collection of little mysterious love stories in Kamloops.

I’m hoping the next time I walk the bridge, they will still be there, with even more added.

Perhaps the City of Kamloops can even get ahead of it all by reinforcing the fence or beefing up the pedestrian bridge below.

Why not put up a plaque, explain the tradition and encourage it all — make it a special and romantic place to visit near the park?

It could be a little place to wander and wonder about Leanne and Larry and love.

here’s Ants in My Pants.

There’s Dumb and Dumber.

Lest we think it’s all fun on the river, chapters in author Randy Nelson’s book also include Fraser River Review and The Cohen Commission.

The retired fisheries enforcement officer’s first book, Poachers, Polluters and Politics, is a reflection of his own personality: Funny, affable and down to earth combined with a passion for fish conservation and a desire to catch the people who steal and threaten the resource.

Nelson’s name is most familiar in local newspaper and broadcast stories for his status as a winning long-distance runner — a skill that became more useful than a gun when it came time to make arrests at riverside.

In Bumper Car Bust — one of nearly 100 chapters in the 300page book released this fall by Harbour Publishing — Nelson recounts the one that got away (perpetrator, not salmon) and then bumping into him months later at Playland while on a bumper-car ride. Nelson had caught his partner earlier illegally fishing at a Burnaby watercourse, but chased him down too quickly. “I was fairly fit at the time and had started to run three or four times a week,� he wrote. “I caught him casually, but he started to struggle. This was a lesson I would remember. In future chases (and there were lots of them), I’d never try to catch the poacher right away.

Run them until they are tired, then run them some more.

Once they were totally exhausted, I’d arrest them without incident.�

Chases and anecdotes about sneaking up on people fishing illegally feature heavily in Poachers, Polluters and Politics — and many of them feature Nelson’s prowess as a longdistance runner.

It was something he said in an interview he started in order to burn off his wife’s cooking and to prepare for peace-officer training at the RCMP’s Regina depot early in his 35-year career with the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO).

Poachers is written in a breezy, folksy style by an author who admits he doesn’t read books.

But, its mix of stories in the

MS 170 Gas Chain Saw bush, intertwined with the politics of fish management, is aimed at anyone who spends time outdoors and is concerned about B.C.’s legacy of rich natural resources.

Nelson makes it sound easy — trotting behind poachers until they drop from exhaustion — but, the reality is fish and game officers in North America are eight times more likely to die on the job than police officers, he said.

The resident of Kamloops since the mid-1990s has been attacked by a grizzly, hit by an oar that broke his shoulder, hit by a truck when someone tried to run him over and stabbed in downtown Kamloops.

In Poachers, he writes about it all.

He retired in 2012 after working five years in Vancouver as a manager with DFO. Armed with notes in a diary he’d kept since he was a kid in Saskatchewan who graduated from a naturalresource technology program, Nelson decided to write a book.

And, while the focus is on stories of catching poachers, several chapters — and Nelson’s ultimate goal — is to change the way government operates the department and conserves salmon. “The amount of illegal fishing going on in the province is

astonishing,� said Nelson, who made a presentation to the Cohen Commission on Fraser River salmon four years ago — to the chagrin of his bosses. “What the federal government has done to the DFO is appalling.�

Nelson said he has gradually seen DFO staff rendered silent by management, politicians and public-relations staff. In its place, government has adopted the same professional reliance found in forestry, for example — the poachers running the river, so to speak.

At the same time, DFO enforcement and habitat conservation field staff have been drastically cut back. During a year like this one, when more than 20-million sockeye are expected to return to the Fraser, it doesn’t much matter. But, there are years and rivers where spawners number in the hundreds and poaching can kill a natural history that’s existed for hundreds or thousands of years.

Nelson said he hopes Poachers makes politicians and senior bureaucrats squirm.

And, just like he did with reporters and commissions of inquiry for most his career, he’ll keep talking.

Randy Nelson will be at Chapters tomorrow (Oct. 4) at 1 p.m. for a book-signing event.

I

t’s my favourite urite time of the year again — Halloween.

I have to admit, I love all the creativity and dressing up that comes with this holiday.

Here is a fun craft that you can do with the kids right alongside the pumpkin carving.

These alien gourds are fun to make and will look great in any Halloween decoration.

You will need: • Gourds — I got mine at the grocery store • Acrylic paint • Googly eyes • Pipe cleaners • Glue • Pompom balls • Sparkles • Paper • Pencil/pens • Drill or something

to make small holes Using the acrylics, first paint your gourds whatever colour you want your aliens to be.

I used yellow on top of a green body and gave him purple polka dots.

Then, I added some sparkles for alien glitter.

Let it dry.

Next, drill two holes on top of the gourd’s

head for the antenna, h along with a hole on a each side for the arms e and a two holes on the bottom for the feet. b Then, wrap the pipe cleaner around the c pompoms leaving at p least le five centimetres of o pipe cleaner to insert into the head. in Next comes the eyes. Glue the eye balls on the pompoms and let it all dry.

Fold the pipe cleaner in half and shape a three-fingered hand in the middle of the pipe cleaner, twisting the ends together to make an arm and repeating for both sides.

Then, fold the pipe cleaners in half and shape a three-fingered duck foot, twisting the ends together, also repeating on both sides.

399 Insert the eyeball antenna to the top of the head where the holes were drilled, before placing the arms and feet into their respective spots.

Next, draw and cut out the mouth and glue onto gourd to complete your alien.

The craft is versatile, so try modifying the design with different colours or eyes.

The possibilities are endless.

Have a fun and safe Halloween!

REVIEW: SOLO BATTLE LEFT AUDIENCE VIBRATING JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

JESSICA WALLACE/ KTW

Big Wreck front man Ian Thornley pulled out a multitude of different guitars during the band’s performance at Cactus Jacks night club on Tuesday, Sept. 30.

“I love that song,� echoed throughout Cactus Jacks night club.

It was a fitting lyric during a live performance of That Song, the second on Big Wreck’s bill, and arguably the loudest sang by the crowd in sync with lead singer Ian Thornley.

The Canadian rock band played at the downtown night club on Tuesday, Sept. 30, to a full house.

Cactus Jacks has changed things up as of late with a new setup — the stage is now located where the VIP section once was.

And, Big Wreck is one of several midsized acts anticipated to perform there.

The venue was wellsuited for the performance.

The sound system wailed during a solo battle between Thornley and bass player Dave McMillan, leaving the front-row audience members vibrating in the crowd.

Blown Wide Open slowed it down and showed a softer side of Big Wreck, though their energy was equal to their faster songs.

The band performed music from its newest record Ghosts, the band’s fourth studio album, but one of the biggest responses from the crowd came during the encore performance of AC/DC’s Highway to Hell.

The band is headed east to continue its Canadian tour before heading south to Buffalo, New York on Oct. 25.

Upcoming theatre at TRU Patience, Shakespeare on this year’s bill DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Actors Workshop Theatre kicks off a new season with a play called one of the most important of the year when it was introduced in Toronto in 1998.

Patience is the story of Reuben, a man who loses his wife, his job and must deal with the death of his brother, all in one day — and must find a way to put himself back

together again.

It runs from Oct. 9 to Oct. 11 and Oct. 16 to Oct. 18 and will be directed by Wes Eccleston.

Next up is The Best of Everything, based on a novel by Rona Jaffe.

It’s also a lifestyle story in a way as it tells the tale of ambitious secretaries working in a typing pool who want it all — and aren’t sure they can get it.

It runs Nov. 20 to Nov. 22 and Nov. 27 to Nov. 29 and will

be directed by Robin Nichol.

Shakespeare makes it onto the season with As You Like It, the story of Rosalind, who flees persecution, dresses as a man and encounters some strange characters in the woods. It runs Feb. 26 to Feb. 28 and March 5 to March 7 and will be directed

by Heidi Verwey.

The season wraps up in April with the directors’ festival, six nights when senior directing students

showcase their abilities with one-act plays. The festival runs from April 6 to April 11.

All performances will be in the Black Box Theatre in the Old Main Building of Thompson Rivers University.

Showtimes are at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are on sale at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca. For more information, call 250-377-6100.

COMMUNITY Windbreak Street in Brocklehurst has undergone months-long road construction.

DAVE EAGLES/ KTW FILE PHOTO

Q: When is the Windbreak project going to be completed and what is being done?

A: The Windbreak Street project has been pushed back a month.

The Brocklehurst upgrades — which include a new bioswale, sidewalks, traffic-calming islands, improved bus stops and crosswalks — were originally expected to be completed by Oct. 15, but that date has been bumped to Nov. 15.

City of Kamloops capital projects supervisor Rick Ewings said a few days of bad weather along with some added utility work — including sanitary and water services to properties on that road — account for the extra time.

It’s added about $30,000 extra to the project’s price tag, pegged at around $2.1 million.

“The original budget for all the work was just over $3 million,” Ewings said. “Everything seems to be well within [the budget].”

It may not look like much has been done as of

late, but Ewings said it’s because most of the work is happening underground.

“It’s sort of hard for people to see,” he said.

‘Such an emotional day’ ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

S

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

tarr Webb knows Saturday, Oct. 5 will be an emotional day.

“Every year it just continues to overwhelm me,” says Webb, co-director of Kamloops Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure. “It’s just breathtaking — it’s loud, it’s lively, there’s tears of joy and tears of regret and it’s a fabulous day.”

About 1,200 people will descend on Riverside park for this year’s run and, should they match last year’s fundraising efforts, bring in nearly $150,000 for breast cancer research.

The run is one of the city’s largest — in part, Webb believes, because of how often breast cancer touches the lives of Kamloopsians.

“It hits a lot of us, a lot of women, and men as well,” said Webb. “Certainly men can get breast cancer, but also because their wives, their mothers, their daughters are impacted by it so strongly.”

In Canada, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosis for women, affecting one in nine women.

This year, about 3,200 women in B.C. will be diagnosed with the disease.

Survival rates for the disease are improving and the number of deaths has dropped dramatically in the past decades due to better screening and treatments.

In B.C., almost 92 per cent of women will survive five years past their diagnosis.

Teams that register for the race have a habit of coming back. Among the Kamloops participants is one group with a

decade of runs behind it.

Webb said the emotion of the day has much to do with the repeat appeal. It’s true in her case as well. After running the race once, she volunteered when a broken leg left her unable to participate.

She’s now been involved for seven years.

“It is just an amazing day. I’m almost speechless sometimes when I think about it, because it’s such an emotional day,” she said.

“I’ve volunteered ever since I was a teenager and I have never, ever experienced this level of emotion at anything like this.”

Final registration for this year’s run begins at 9 a.m. in Riverside Park. Opening ceremonies are at 10 a.m., with a survivor parade at 10:30 a.m.

9:00AM Registration 10:30AM Start Time

Riverside Park Kamloops, BC

In just a few days, 65 communities across Canada will be joining together for the annual Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure.

The CIBC Run for the Cure, now in its 23rd year, is the largest single-day volunteer-led event dedicated to the breast cancer cause. Here in Kamloops, the event has been part of the community since 1997. On Sunday, October 5th more than 1,000 participants are expected to gather for the 1km or 5km walk/run at Riverside Park.

“Some of the most inspiring moments happen on Run day as you see people of both genders, all ages, and cultures support one another,� says Starr Webb, volunteer Co- Run Director of the Kamloops organizing committee. “Whether someone is participating as a survivor or running for a friend or family member, we are all there to create that future without breast cancer.�

One in nine Canadian women is expected to develop breast cancer during her lifetime. Breast

cancer continues to be the leading type of cancer for Canadian women. Here in BC, the 5-year survival rate for women diagnosed with breast cancer is 91.8 per cent. The signiďŹ cant improvement in survival rates and the decline in mortality for women with breast cancer since the mid-1980s are considered a result of research, speciďŹ cally in improvements in screening and advances through personalized treatment. We’re closer to a future without breast cancer but we can’t stop now.

Happy 1st birthday Nicole Our little girl is 1 today, So sweet and lovely in every which way.

A little girl they said you’d be, So hesitate to know I just had to see to believe.

On a beautiful fall day I knew you’d be here, I thought of you for so long I let out a tear.

Happy and scared as normal parents can be, We couldn’t believe it when that small face was here and just stared up at me.

A little girl so sweet so true, My heart just melted when I met you.

Bringing you home to meet your big brother, He was so exited to meet you like no other.

He whispered to you in a sweet little voice, I’ll love you forever & always you’ll have no choice.

We wish you a happy 1st birthday to our sweet little one, We’ll love you forever a beautiful little lady you’ve become.
