MOON ROOF

Kelly Pape woke up really early yesterday (Oct. 8) — at 3:17 a.m. The local photographer recalled seeing in the news there was going to be a blood moon in the sky that would be at its peak at 3:27 a.m. “I went outside in my pyjamas and it was quite amazing and I thought, ‘Wow, I’ll take one shot.’ “I was out there two hours,” Pape said. The resulting photograph came from those two hours of aiming her Nikon D600 — using a 70-to200-millimetre lens and a doubler to take it to about 400 millimetres — into the sky, then using Photoshop to create the arcing moons.

CITY WOMAN AT CENTRE OF HUMANRIGHTS COMPLAINT CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Trinity Western University (TWU) student who grew up in Kamloops has filed a human-rights complaint against a Norwegian adventure company operating in B.C. based on a series of bizarre emails denying her the right to be considered for employment based on her religious beliefs. The complaint against Amaruk Wilderness Corp. was filed on Sept. 30 with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal. In an interview with KTW yesterday (Oct. 8), Bethany Paquette said she applied in early September for an assistant-guide position for the company, which operates its Canadian office out of

BETHANY PAQUETTE SAYS ATTENDING TRINITY WESTERN UNIVERSITY LED TO COMPANY REFUSING HER EMPLOYMENT Vancouver. Paquette graduated from the Langley-based Christian university with a biology degree in June and had worked three summers guiding with Hyak River Rafting “The first one [reply letter] was pretty bad and made me upset,” she said. In it, Olaf Amundsen, an Amaruk wilderness guide and instructor, first informs Paquette she isn’t qualified. He then states “unlike Trinity Western University, we embrace diversity, and the right of people to sleep with or marry whoever they want, and this is reflected

within some of our staff and management. “In addition, the Norse background of most of the guys at the management level means that we are not a Christian organization, and most of us actually see Christianity as having destroyed our culture, tradition and way of life.” Paquette replied with a lengthy letter defending the school’s policy of forbidding students from having sex outside of marriage. She also noted discrimination based on an individual’s religious beliefs is contrary to Canadian law.

TWU has also been in the news recently with resolutions by members of the B.C. Law Society asking it to oppose establishment of a law school based on the schools view’s on homosexuality. Amundsen and other Amaruk officials then slammed Christianity, the university and Paquette. Amundsen said Amaruk believes “everybody is entitled to their beliefs and opinions, and this works quite well in our company “However, you force other people to embrace your religious beliefs, by preventing them from doing as they wish with their own

life and body . . . People who did not agree with your church would be flayed, burnt, roasted, quartered, etc. So, you guys have a long history of intolerance.” The company responded to an email request from KTW for comment by saying it will not make any public statements. Amundsen closes his letter to Paquette by calling himself a “Viking with a PhD in Norse history” and calls God “some guy who was conceived by a whore, outside of marriage, and whom has been the very reason for the most horrendous abuses and human rights violations in the history of the human race. “If I was to meet the guy, I’d actually f----him.” See COMPANY, page A11

Parking-fee hike may be delayed ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

After its introduction of new parking pay stations was plagued by technical glitches and delays, the City of Kamloops will likely delay a parking-fee increase set to hit downtown motorists in 2015. In the fall of 2013, the city began replacing its coin-operated parking meters with digital stations, and hiked on-street parking fees from 50 cents to $1 per hour for the

first two hours. The extra cash is meant to pay for the cost of the new equipment, as well as future improvements to parking downtown. As part of the plan, city council agreed to two more rate hikes, which would see fees increase to $1.25 per hour on Jan. 1, 2015, and to $1.50 per hour on Jan. 1, 2018. But, at Kamloops city council’s Tuesday, Oct. 7 meeting, Mayor Peter Milobar asked council to look at freezing parking rates

for the time being. Milobar said he had hoped the city would be further along on a new parkade plan or other off-street parking improvements by 2015. “We also thought the tech would be installed and fully operational a lot sooner than the glitches resulted in,” he said. Though it was supposed to be available in the fall of 2013, the city only launched a pay-by-phone app for the new parking kiosks this past summer. Kamloopsians have also

complained the screens are difficult to see, while the initial set-up of the kiosks led many to incorrectly input their licence-plate information. Milobar said the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association also wants fees held at current rates for 2015. Councillors agreed to consider holding the line on parking fees, but a report on the issue likely won’t be ready for debate until after the Nov. 15 civic election, when a new council takes office.

School board not unhappy with figures DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The figures aren’t complete, but the enrolment decrease predicted for School District 73 appears to have been wrong — in a good way. Supt. Karl deBruijn said statistics aren’t in yet for continuing-

education and online students but, as of this week, there are 1,089 students in kindergarten, an increase of 118 from last year. In grades 1 to 7, there are 7,012 students, an increase of 124. The secondary grades continue to show a decrease, with 5,481 students, down

406 from last year. The district had predicted a total enrolment decline of 280 students. To have the numbers add up to 164 fewer students is good news, deBruijn said. He sees a brighter future with the increase in the elementary grades, “assuming they

stay with us right though secondary.” The district has been experiencing a downward trend since the mid-1990s. In 1997, enrolment — in terms of full-time equivalency since some students attend part-time — topped off at 17,769. The numbers con-

tinued to drop until the introduction of full-time kindergarten in 2011, when they began to stabilize. DeBruijn said the lower enrolment at the secondary level continues to be a concern because it also restricts the number of courses that can be offered.

Philpot once again seeking seat at city council table ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Andy Philpot ran for city council in 2011, there were only 119 votes separating him from a city council seat. Philpot finished in ninth place in that year’s municipal race, just behind Coun. Nelly Dever. This time around, the retired firefighter is hoping he can boost himself from firstrunner-up to elected official. “I’m committed to my community, I have a track record of giving back to my community and I pay attention and do have a working knowledge of the operations of the city,” said Philpot at a press conference on Monday, Oct. 6. Philpot served with Kamloops Fire Rescue for 30

years, rising through the ranks to assistant fire chief before his retirement in 2011. He said he wants to focus on improving council’s engagement with the general public. “Probably the single biggest issue is making sure all the areas of town feel included,” Philpot said. “Lots of times they don’t feel they’re included because they don’t see the little changes in their community.” He also wants to see the city build on its plans for affordable housing, green transportation and other social and sustainability ini-

tiatives, while working with Interior Health to improve the community’s access to health care. “When my mom worked here, the hospital was 450 beds and it’s now like 225,” Philpot said. “It’s half the size that it was and the population since they left Kamloops is probably four times as big. “How they’ve worked that, I’m not sure, because our hospital is stretched to the limit.” While the new clinicalservices building under construction at Royal Inland Hospital will relieve some pressure, Philpot believes the

city has fallen behind Kelowna and Vernon when it comes to medical facilities. “We’ve got to make sure we’ve got the improvements,” he said. “And city council only has a small amount to do with it. We’ve just got to keep on working with Interior Health to make that happen.” On the Ajax mine front, Philpot said he’d be in favour of the project only if it will have a “minimal effect” on the environment and residents of Kamloops. But, he added, the city must treat all its heavyindustrial players fairly, noting the proposed mine shouldn’t be held to standards the city wouldn’t apply to Domtar or New Gold’s New Afton mine. “You can’t just single one out and say, ‘We don’t want you,’” he said.

After finishing just out of the money in the 2011 civic election, Andy Philpot is running again.

Christian looking to KVS has online survey skies in re-election bid ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

As he makes a bid for re-election to Kamloops city council, Coun. Ken Christian is looking to make it easier for some citizens to get out of town. At his campaign launch, Christian said he’s running on a platform that includes increasing direct flight destinations from Kamloops Airport. “There are a lot of Kamloops residents now that are working and doing business in northern Alberta and northern British Columbia and I think it’s time that we had an opportunity to fly directly into places like Fort McMurray, like Edmonton, like Fort St. John and like Prince George,” Christian said. “There’s certainly a market there.” Christian said there are new, smaller airplanes being adopted by the companies that are cheaper to run and that could make smaller markets more lucrative. “I think as those aircraft start to

come on board, Kamloops starts to become a more attractive location,” he said. “Obviously, 737s are expensive to run and we don’t really have the passenger loads for them, but to put those other aircraft on those routes makes sense.” While flight decisions are in the hands of executives at WestJet and Air Canada, Christian believes the city has some clout when it comes to airline negotiations. Christian, who served as a Kamloops-Thompson school district trustee for 18 years before joining council in 2011 (he topped the polls during his inaugural run), said he wants to see the city go after the small-convention and sport-tourism markets more aggressively to bring in tourism dollars during the shoulder season. He also wants the city to support affordable-housing opportunities. Christian said he wants to see the city’s next council hold the line on spending, with any property-tax increases below the rate of inflation.

Should the city look at a ward system for councillors? Are the new downtown parking kiosks worth the cash? The Kamloops Voters Society (KVS) is looking for the public’s thought on these questions and more in a voter feedback survey. The KVS is running the 22-question survey online at KamloopsVotersSociety. ca until Oct. 15. The questionnaire is restricted to one response per IP address — and only available to those within city of Kamloops boundaries. The KVS plans to use the results of the survey to generate a series of questions it will pose to this year’s civic election candidates. Their answer will be made available on the group’s website. In addition, the Kamloops Voters Society is staging three public events involving candidates and the public. The first, a candidate mixer, will be held on Nov. 7 at a site to be determined on the

North Shore. The second candidate mixer will be held on Nov. 12 at Thompson Rivers University. A third candidate mixer is also being planned for the Aberdeen area at a date to be determined.

All-candidates forum for seniors

Council candidate Nancy Bepple is once again organizing an allcandidates forum for seniors. Bepple has organized the seniors’ forum in the past, noting it will be held downtown during the day to make it easier for seniors to attend. The forum will take place on Monday, Nov. 10, from noon to 1:15 p.m. at the Desert Gardens Community Centre, 540 Seymour St. All mayoral and councillor candidates will be invited to attend

and each candidate will have an opportunity to speak on their platform and answer questions. A moderator will be on hand to keep the forum flowing smoothly. Candidates’ campaign materials will be available for people to pick up. The room seats about 100.

Nomination deadline looms

Deadline for nominations for mayor, city council, board of education and ThompsonNicola Regional District is tomorrow (Oct. 10) at 4 p.m. As of the end of Wednesday, Oct. 8, there had been two people — incumbent Peter Milobar and challenger Ben James — file nomination papers for mayor. A third challenger, Elaine Sedgman — running in the guise of Mr. Openpitbelly, a charac-

ter that represents the proposed Ajax mine that Sedgman opposes — had not filed nomination papers as of KTW’s press deadline. Eighteen people — including all seven incumbents — had filed nomination papers for city council, while 12 people had filed nomination papers for the Kamloops-Thompson board of education. All nomination papers can be read in PDF form online at kamloops.ca. The ThompsonNicola Regional District has three areas adjacent to Kamloops. In Area P, to the northeast of the city, incumbent director John Sternig and challenger Mel Rothenburger have filed nomination papers. In Area L, to the southeast of the city, incumbent director Ken Gillis has filed nomination papers. In Area J, west of Kamloops, incumbent director Ronaye Elliott has filed nomination papers.

All that is good begins with a SMILE.

After topping the polls in his first city council campaign in 2011, Ken Christian is seeking re-election on Nov. 15. The former longtime school trustee is running on a platform that includes increasing direct flight destinations from Kamloops Airport and having the city support affordable-housing opportunities.

A contractor police allege stumbled upon CDs stashed in a ceiling area in a local strata complex is one of six witnesses slated to be called in the trial of a retired teacher on a charge of possession of child pornography. A three-day trial is scheduled to begin on Nov. 25 for Jerry Waselenkoff, 66. Lawyers staged a pre-trial conference on Tuesday, Oct. 7. Prosecutor Frank Caputo said

he intends to call four Mounties to testify, as well as a father and son who did work on the complex where Waselenkoff lived. The Crown alleges the younger man was doing electrical work in a common ceiling area when he came across several CDs. That area could only be accessed by Waselenkoff, Caputo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He and his father viewed the discs and it contained child pornography,â&#x20AC;? Caputo told provincial court judge Len Marchand. The Crown will also seek to enter the conversation afterward

Christine Rae, the former owner of the Rendezvous Hotel strip club, has filed a notice of claim in Kamloops provincial court, seeking $24,986.75 from Paige Hofer and Eunice Lievers. Rae states she is agoraphobic, suffers from anxiety disorder and experiences panic attacks, noting that taking her therapy dogs on walks in the area of her Nicola Street home is part of her treatment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After numerous confrontations with this dog and owners due to the fact that they do not leash, restrain or supervise their dog in an unfenced

yard, I can no longer use the alley as part of my route,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took 18 months with a psychiatrist, psychologist and life-skills worker to develop the route, so I can live my life, leave my home and walk my therapy dog.â&#x20AC;? Rae is seeking $20,000 to pay for a life-skills worker to help her develop a new route, claiming the German shepherd causes her to experience panic attacks. In addition, she is seeking $4,800 for â&#x20AC;&#x153;mental anguish and stress,â&#x20AC;? $10.75 to pay for a title search and $156 in court-filing fees. Hofer and Lievers have yet to file a response.

issue on the ballot. At its Tuesday, Oct. 7 meeting, Kamloops council awarded a contract for two phases of consultation on the arts centre to MHPM Project Managers Inc. for $233,000. The amount is slightly less than the $260,000 council agreed to spend on consultations for the

centre during its spring budget meetings. While the city initially put the consultant work out to tender, parks, recreation and culture director Bryon McCorkell said staff instead chose to solesource the contract to keep the project moving at its preferred pace. With a contract in

place with MHPM, the city expects to have a business case for the centre, as well as a report comparing possible locations for the facility, by mid-January. The city has several potential spots for the centre, including the current home of Lake City Casino at 540 Victoria Street and

the former Kamloops Daily News property at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue. A site for the centre would ideally be chosen later in January, with more detailed design work coming as early as May 1, 2015. That would give the city time to prepare for a referendum on the proj-

ect in November 2015. However, Coun. Nelly Dever asked if the city would consider scheduling a referendum at a slightly later date to accommodate a question regarding KGHM’s proposed Ajax mine, which the company wants to operate south of Aberdeen. While there is no

legal reason council couldn’t change its timeline for a citywide vote, Mayor Peter Milobar said there’s still a chance KGHM won’t have submitted its application for environmental review by the time Kamloops is ready to move forward with a referendum on the performing-arts centre.

For pipeline route, council prefers grasslands ANDREA KLASSEN

Asked to choose whether they would like to see Kinder Morgan’s expanded Trans Mountain pipeline laid through Westsyde or the Lac Du Bois protected area above the community, Kamloops’ city councillors have opted for the grasslands. In a unanimous vote at their Tuesday, Oct. 7 meeting, councillors chose to send a letter to the provincial Ministry of Environment supporting the oil-pipeline company’s bid to have its pipeline accommodated within Lac Du Bois in an existing Telus fibre-optic rightof-way. Public-works director Jen Fretz told council the letter is not meant to be an endorsement of the project as a whole

— which would triple the amount of oil and refined products Kinder Morgan transports between Alberta and Burnaby, to 890,000 barrels a day from 300,000 barrels a day — but a statement of preference between two possible routing options. Fretz said routing new pipe through Kinder Morgan’s existing Westsyde right-ofway would be difficult

because of development since the pipe was installed in the 1950s. “There would be strain on the exiting neighbourhood, including sheds and yards and fences that have unintentionally encroached on the existing right of way,” Fretz said. While several councillors said routing pipe through the grasslands is not ideal, they argued installing the new line

in an existing corridor through the park is the better option. “You can’t bring [grasslands] back 100 per cent, but they are talking about a corridor that’s already been disturbed once,” Mayor Peter Milobar said. Coun. Tina Lange believes Westsyde residents would rather see the pipe in Lac Du Bois than their back yards. The city didn’t host any kind of public feedback session before making its decision on which pipeline route would be best. Milobar said that’s because the city only learned in mid-September it would need to make a call on the two routes — and was barely able to generate a staff report in advance of the province’s Oct. 12 commenting deadline. “We didn’t know this

MAY THE STORK MAKE MORE VISITS Go forth and multiply — school boards across the province will thank you for your robust activity. More kids in schools means more funding for classrooms, which can also mean greater choice in courses for those students. A decline in enrolment, as has been seen in the KamloopsThompson school district, means fewer dollars, fewer schools and tough choices in determining which courses to keep and which courses to set aside. In 2000, there were about 17,000 students in the school district. This year, there are about 13,500 students attending classes in the schools that cover an area the size of a European country. That is a huge decrease in student population and the effects have been felt in the closure in 2009 of a number of elementary schools. The effects of a shifting enrolment base will be felt again in 2016 when Stuart Wood elementary kids are moved to Beattie elementary and Beattie elementary kids are moved to the John Peterson campus to fill out a kindergarten to Grade 12 Beattie School of the Arts school. Then there are other changes based on enrolment numbers specific to certain areas of Kamloops. Some schools are relatively empty while others are forced to use portables, simply because of the demographics inherent in the respective neighbourhoods. Those lopsided student populations lead to decisions like the one made last year that rerouted certain feeder schools’ secondary destinations. It’s early, but the school district has thus far received good news. The anticipated decline of 280 students in 2014-2015 has so far settled in at a decline of 164, which is actually an increase in optimism. Perhaps we can imagine the good news, the less of a decline than originally thought, as being delivered by the stork himself. Now, if only that stork can deliver more than numbers. Go forth and multiply while you are reading and writing.

Not voting? Don’t complain

ost of you are going to put some money in the donation box and buy a red poppy next month. You’ll put it on your lapel, dutifully move it from jacket to jacket as you adapt to the changing weather, all in honour of past sacrifices by Canadians. Some of them were likely your friends or relatives. A lot of you will head down to the Cenotaph on Nov. 11, proudly wearing those poppies, and do your part to commemorate horrors none of us ever wants to live through again. Maybe some of you have children in our armed forces today and you’re worried they are going to be sent on the upcoming Canadian mission to support the U.S. in its bid to rid the world of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant — otherwise known as the monstrous terrorists who like to videotape themselves cutting the heads off people in their country trying to do good. Statistics show, however, about seven of every 10 of you won’t bother to get out of your easy chair on Nov. 15, hop into your car and head down to your neighbourhood polling station to vote in the municipal election. Vote 50 and the Kamloops Voters Society are doing their part to promote something we all should just know is happening — and the very existence of these groups is shameful. The fact activists and people who simply care about their community and its success feel the need to come together and focus their energies on

LEVEL encouraging us to do what our forefathers — and today’s young generation of soldiers — fought for should embarrass us all. We shouldn’t have to be cajoled, encouraged or reminded to exercise our democratic right. We should be aware enough of what’s going on around us and care enough to be part of it. I know people in both organizations and can tell you they are working hard to get the vote out. In 2011, the last time we were asked to choose a city council, a board of education and regionaldistrict directors, only 29 per cent of Kamloopsians bothered to do so. That’s a shameful turnout. In our family, it’s pretty much a requirement to vote — even though I have cringed in the past when some of our adult children, most of them living in Ontario, have voted for federal and provincial parties I don’t always hold in high esteem. At least they cast their ballots. The municipal election format where they live is different than here; they have a ward system and I’ve been gone from

there long enough that I no longer have any clue who those candidates are — but I know they get out and mark their Xs. To be fair, their interest in municipal affairs was piqued in recent months as they watched their city’s mayor be charged with, and convicted of, forging an expense document while he was a member of the federal Liberal cabinet back in 2005. That’s the kind of political intrigue that is bound to intrigue anyone — especially the children of a pair of journalists, one of whom used to cover Parliament during the Brian Mulroney years. We don’t have that sort of hook to bring interest to our election and, with the lack of a serious candidate — so far — to run against the mayor, it’s shaping up to be just a battle of name recognition for council and school board. But, here’s the thing: If you don’t vote, you really don’t have any right to complain. When taxes go up, keep your opinion to yourself if you didn’t cast your ballot. When you’re waiting — and waiting — for a bus to show up at your stop, don’t criticize the transit service. When there’s an application to build townhouses in your neighbourhood and you don’t like it, stay home. Don’t go to the public hearing. You’ve lost that right. All because you wouldn’t get up and vote. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR PAUL LAKE RESIDENT NOT KEEN ON MORE BOATERS Editor: Re: KTW story, Sept. 26 (‘Boaters seeking to overturn boat-launch ban’): My husband and I recently sold our home to take up a new life at Paul Lake. Some of the features that sold us on the location is that the lake isn’t overpopulated and is treated with respect. For those who aren’t aware, there are close to 100 residents who live on the edges of Paul Lake and over 100 provincial campsites open during the summer months. What wasn’t mentioned in the article is residents have lake intake as their water source. Residents have to trust the water is safe enough to use and drink with minimal filtration. With the potential for high boat traffic, this would compromise our resources as homeowners.

Perhaps the waters are less frequented during September but, during summer months, the lake is full of locals and those who rent or own for vacation purposes. When September roles around, families return to their life away from this paradise. If we open the lake for everyone yearround, there will be mishaps, collisions and abuse — it’s just a matter of how long before the first occurrence, then everyone is back to the table putting on more restrictions and rules that should have just been left alone. Adding speed-limit restrictions, for instance, limits others from doing what they love such as tubing and water skiing. This then becomes a fishing-only lake. Although I have confidence Len Piggin and the Kamloops Fly Fishers Association members would respect the lake, I have low confidence many others would.

My husband and I tour all over B.C. with our sport boat and often see loud, drunk and rude boating activity. I also fear there will be thefts at homes the owners don’t use year-round. It’s hard to paddle away from the crime scene but, if motors are allowed, that’s half the battle. Perhaps there’s a way to have groups like the Fly Fishing Association apply for a yearly permit to use the lake and have a key to an easier access gate to the water or some other compromise. Since my husband and I are new members to this community, we don’t want to “rock the boat” too much but we also want to have a say in regard to our future and our children’s future in this community.

THE WORLD DOESN’T NEED A MODIFIED APPLE Editor: Okanagan Specialty Fruits in Summerland B.C. wants to put a genetically modified (GM) apple on the market. Polls show consumers don’t want to eat the apple. It could be approved in Canada this year, but the process is totally secret. There have been no consultations with the public or with growers and the economic impact is not being considered. The B.C. government promised a review of the apple. We need to make sure this happens, that is open, transparent and fair. It’s unacceptable there is no public discussion before GM crops are approved in Canada. The Union of B.C. Municipalities passed a resolution against the GM apple in 2012.

The B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association has requested a moratorium on approving the GM apple. McDonald’s and Gerber have said they don’t plan to use it and 69 per cent of Canadians say they don’t want the GM apple approved. Okanagan organic orchardists oppose it. The only people who will benefit from the apple are a small group of investors. Bees don’t discriminate between GM and non-GM pollen. GM apple seeds could also easily end up in the wrong place. Two of the main apple varieties eaten in BC were developed from discarded seeds that grew accidentally. If the GM apple is approved we could have GM apple trees growing by the roadside with unknown consequences for the future of BC

apples. Our food-regulatory authorities don’t conduct their own safety tests on GM crops. They take studies done by biotech companies as a basis for approval. We need independent testing before the GM apple enter our food system. A former Canadian government scientist at Agriculture Canada, Dr. Thierry Vrain, has spoken out. David Suzuki has been speaking out against GMOs, and how they can be hazardous to human health as well as the environment. There is a reason why a majority of countries around the world have permanently banned GMOs. What’s taking North America so long? Linda Davidson Kamloops

A rezoning Battle continues

The owners of two Battle Street properties will get a second chance to convince Kamloops city council they should be allowed to rezone their lots to build an apartment building. D&T Developments wants to build an 18-unit apartment complex at 801 and 807 Battle St., but was turned down at an earlier public meeting due to concerns about parking and the appearance of the building. Natasha Taylor told council at its Tuesday, Oct. 7, meeting that the developers have changed the look of their proposed building to counter criticism that “it looked too much like a box” — and are planning to offer incentives to prospective tenants to limit the number of cars at the building, including prepaid, five-year transit passes. Gay Pooler, general manager of the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association, also lent her support to D&T’s appeal. Pooler said the KCBIA supports densification downtown.

ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A first round of repairs from the 20-minute summer storm that flooded Kamloops’ streets and basements will cost the city $950,000, with another $1 million to $1.5 million in repairs to come in 2015. Kamloops city council has agreed to fund the city’s most-needed repairs from the July 23 storm out of its general reserve fund. Public-works director Jen Fretz said her staff are focusing on projects where there is a threat of further damage should more rain occur or a risk to the public. Many of the repairs involve Springhill Creek, which jumped its banks during the storm. At 1435 Summit Drive, the creek has eroded nearly all the way to the fence line of a strata development. Springhill-related repairs will cost $375,000. The city also has to spend $125,000 repairing a sinkhole that opened in a Nicola Street yard after floodwaters in the neighbouring Peterson Creek Channel washed out the earth supporting a retaining wall next to the creek. Work on that site has already begun, due to safety concerns. Highland Drive’s stormwater system has the largest repair bill this round, at $400,000. The damage is again erosion-related

and severe enough to threaten utility lines near the roadway. Another $50,000 is slated for trail repairs in the city’s nature parks. The city has applied to the province for disaster financial aid for the repairs. While the provincial program can cover up to 80 per cent of costs, Fretz said she’s expecting to see $200,000 to $300,000 from Victoria. That’s because the province doesn’t cover erosion damage and won’t fund improvements to the city’s infrastructure. In many cases, said water and sewer engineer Jonathan Welke, the city has opted to “build back better” rather than simply repair, so the city will be better prepared for intense storms. Welke said it appears storms like the July 23 event are linked to climate change, noting the city can expect more of them. “All the research is pinpointing we’re going to get less rain over time, but it’s going to get more intense,” he said. Coun. Arjun Singh said the city needs to make climate-change preparedness a focus. “This is really where the rubber hits the road with climate change work at the local government level and I think we have to think about this in our budgets going forward,” he said, noting first-round repair costs have already shaved an eighth from the city’s emergency-reserve funds. The general reserve fund now sits at $7 million.

City seeks to annex mine ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops is moving ahead with its plan to annex New Gold’s New Afton Mine. City council has approved a five-year taxation strategy for the mine that would gradually increase the property taxes it pays to the city, from $689,760 in the first year to $2.3 million in the fifth year. As part of the annexation deal, the city has agreed to pay the Thompson-Nicola Regional District $265,000 each year — the amount the district now gets from the mine in taxes.

COMMUNITY

The city wants to strike a similar deal with area First Nations, whose economic agreements with the mine would be affected by the annexation. It’s not clear how much money the city would need to pay the bands. Business and client services manager Tammy Robertson told council that information is still being prepared by the provincial Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. The Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn Indian bands have already spoken against the city’s plan to expand its borders, saying they will use “whatever legal means are

at our hands.” Threats to the bands’ revenue-sharing agreements are one of the concerns. If the city is successful in its bid, the extra tax revenue from New Gold would be used to lower Kamloops’ heavyindustrial tax rate to $55 from about $70 per $1,000 of assessed value. Coun. Tina Lange said she doesn’t want people to see the annexation as a “tax grab,” but as a plan to “spread out the pain for major industry, so that major industry like Domtar that is heavily taxed would, hopefully, make their business model more sustainable.”

Company accuses Trinity Western of discrimination From A1

Kamloops Owen Paetkau, a youth commissioner with Scouts Canada, went to Madagascar to help an impoverished community called Ambato Boeni.

A school for education. A fence for safety. Wells and a water tower, for drinking water. A compost, aiding in food production. It seems Owen Paetkau and his cohorts from Scouts Canada were pretty successful in their summer trip to Madagascar. Paetkau, a Kamloopsarea youth commissioner with the organization, was one of 15 scouts to travel to the African nation earlier this year. In their three-week stay, the scouts built a school, a fence and a compost for the community of Ambato Boeni, as well as funded three wells and a water tower. “It was an amazing experience because I got to meet people from all over Canada,” Paetkau told

KTW last week. “I got to learn about the culture in Madagascar and I got to speak some of the language. Just getting a chance to meet with the kids and play with them was awesome.” Reflecting on his trip, Paetkau said the poverty in the nation was pronounced, especially in the larger centres. Though he was surprised by how happy many of the locals were in the smaller communities, despite being just as poor as those in the cities. He was also surprised by the ingenuity of the locals when he went on a weekend trip to the fair in the city of Mahajanga. When he arrived, he was stunned to see a ferris wheel. “How do you power a ferris wheel without power, though?” he asked. “So, there was these guys that would just jump and pull the ferris wheel while

you were sitting on it and that’s how they circulated it.” Paetkau was in Africa as the continent’s Ebola epidemic grew in size and reputation, though he knew nothing of it while he was there. He didn’t learn of the virus’ spread until her returned to Canada, though the fact he was on the other side of the continent allayed most of his fears. “I wasn’t really fazed by it,” he said. “We were pretty well protected and planned for.” The Scouts also brought some sports equipment to Madagascar — soccer jerseys, shorts and soccer balls. Ambato Boeni is now planning to start a soccer league for the local youth. In a tournament held during his trip, Paetkau and the scouts made it to the final before losing to the locals.

Paetkau was amazed by the power of the trip and recommended others consider having a similar experience before settling into a career and adult life.

Though the trip only lasted three weeks, its impact will be far-reaching. “There will be a whole generation of children who will be influenced by what

I’ve done,” he said. “Overall, that little community that we were in will be so much better off because we were there helping them.”

HOW WE MET Twins at heart

Keegan Willey, 14, and Emilie Sharp, 15, are waiting for the bus at the Lansdowne Exchange. They are shuffling back and forth, trying to keep warm, and are chatting about their day, each standing next to the bus stop. The two Grade 10 students go to South Kamloops secondary. They’ve only got about five minutes left to wait, but it’s their time to chat after school before their typical parting of ways each day. Keegan takes the No. 2 home to Brock. Emilie takes the No. 9 home to Sahali. Apart from waiting for the bus, the two do “everything” together and have done so ever since Emilie transferred from South Sa-Hali to Lloyd George back in their elementary days. Keegan was one of the first to talk to Emilie at her new school on Pine Street. He introduced himself on her first day. “He sort of just walked through the door, though,” Emilie said with a laugh. They hit it off during French-immersion

classes and soon began taking cadets together. Their friendship has since developed into something more than “best friends,” they say. “We’ve agreed that we’re twins,” Keegan says, noting it’s what they tell other people. They even iron their cadet uniforms together. They also . . . Their conversation about it all is interrupted — right on schedule.

“It’s my bus,” Emilie says. There’s no missing it when the next won’t arrive for another 15 minutes and it’s cold outside. But, today, Keegan and Emilie don’t say goodbye. They both hop aboard, sharing the No. 9 to Emilie’s house. It’s Friday, which means no school tomorrow and time for chats longer than those fit in while waiting at the bus stop.

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.

OMG, the boss just asked me to organize the Christmas Party! What am I going to do? Dorian Greek House Who? Dorian Greek House - it’s the perfect place - right downtown, great food, cool ambience. Everyone will love it. Great, thanks!

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 won’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 it’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 don’t want to be one of those disorganized people who have to settle for a less-than-ideal place just because it’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 today’s hits as well as their very own special requests.

Karaoke is always a popular entertainment option as well. Once you’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. Don’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 wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so ugly or outrageous you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but love it. Christmas costume party: Costume parties arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frosty the Snowman,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Christmas Carolâ&#x20AC;? 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Wonderful Lifeâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Christmas Storyâ&#x20AC;? 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 theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to perform. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Metro News Service

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 first-timers can take when preparing their menus to come off looking like old pros. — Metro News Service

Lafarge wants to rock out Lafarge North America Inc. has applied for an alteration to its permit to allow it to make construction material out of rock that is currently piled on site as waste. If allowed, Lafargeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kamloops operation would produce about 10,000 to 15,000 tonnes of aggregate a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to minimize the materials wasted on site,â&#x20AC;? said plant manager Eric Isenor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to turn it into construction aggregates.â&#x20AC;? The waste rock is material uncovered as a result of mining at the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s limestone quarry, directly north and above the cement plant on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s east side. Isenor said the waste rock is currently piled on site, similar to overburden dug up in other mines. But the company wants to turn that into saleable material, for uses ranging from road materials to gabion walls. If approved, Isenor said the end result will be less disturbed land. He estimated only about five per cent of material mined is waste rock, a tiny fraction compared to a metal mine. The Kamloops operation has 35 employees. Isenor said conversion of waste into a commercial product wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t directly affect jobs but will help overall economic sustainability.

BRIEFS Injunction against RV use in Savona

A property owner at Savona that allowed RVs and tenting on one of its two lakefront lots must cease the operation. Thompson-Nicola Regional District went to court to stop use of the lot, zoned for mobile homes, as a campground. Neighbours complained about the operation by the numbered company. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Wendy Harris ruled camping is not an allowable use for the lotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s zoning. She placed an injunction against RV or tent use.

Former Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coach charged

The former head coach of the Kamloops Blazers who left the team suddenly and without public explanation in January is now facing criminal charges. Dave Hunchak has been charged with one count each of impaired driving, driving with a blood-alcohol level over 0.08 and dangerous driving. He was arrested by RCMP in Chase on July 13. The charges werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sworn until September.

Notice of Disposition Pursuant to Sections 26(3) and 94 of the Community Charter, the City of Kamloops (the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cityâ&#x20AC;?) is disposing of two areas of road dedication; part located adjacent to 233 Fortune Drive and the whole of Beach Avenue legally described as: That Part of District Lot D, Group 2, Kamloops Division Yale District shown as areas A, B and C on Plan EPP43348 (the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Propertyâ&#x20AC;?).

Any enquiries may be directed to David Freeman, RI(BC), Asst. Director, Dev. & Eng. Services/Real Estate Manager at 250-828-3548.

Hunchak, 40, left the Blazers in early January, with no real explanation given by the WHL club at the time. In May, the Blazers brought in bench boss Don Hay, who coached the team to three Memorial Cups in the 1990s. Prior to his time as Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach, Hunchak served one year as an associate coach to Guy Charron behind the bench at Interior Savings Centre. Hunchak, who is not in custody, is expected to be arraigned in Kamloops provincial court on Nov. 17.

THE JUICY FACTS

TOMATOES OFFER FULL FALL FLAVOUR

n our house, we eat a lot of tomatoes, particularly in pasta sauce, chilli, soups and homemade salsa. A few years ago, I was complaining to my aunt about not having enough time to can the abundance of ripe tomatoes in my garden. Getting set up, blanching tomatoes, sterilizing jars and processing — nope, not enough time. She suggested roasting them in the oven — genius! It is easier and way tastier.

SIMONE JENNINGS

Bon

APPETIT My life was changed. Now, each fall, I roast and freeze a whole lot of tomatoes for use throughout the winter and spring. The flavour from

roasted tomatoes is so rich and delicious that it totally trumps the canned version, in my opinion. Admittedly, preserving food in general is more time-consuming than buying it from the store. But, for me, the flavour and quality of preserving fresh tomatoes from the garden or farmers’ market makes it totally worth it. Plus, the investment of extra time in the fall means saving time throughout the winter by having ready-made pasta sauce or the base

for chilli, soup, Mexican dishes, etc., ready to go in the freezer. The other benefit to roasting tomatoes is certain nutrients, such as the antioxidant lycopene, become easier to absorb. Tomatoes are a great source of lycopene, which is thought to help prevent prostate cancer. Roasting tomatoes is so easy that a specific recipe is not required. Just a few directions are all you need. Here is what I do. I like to use Roma tomatoes because they

are not watery and the flavour becomes very concentrated. Pre-heat the oven to 350 F. Slice tomatoes in half and place on a large cookie sheet or baking dish. Add chopped onion and garlic (and any other garden vegetables you have on hand, such as zucchini or peppers). Drizzle with olive oil and mix tomatoes so everything is coated. Arrange tomatoes cut side up and bake for approximately one hour or until tomatoes look a bit shrivelled and caramelized.

Allow tomatoes to cool, then puree in food processor or leave whole, depending on how you plan to use them. Tomatoes that are not pureed can be peeled if desired (too finicky for me, I don’t mind the skins). Transfer to mediumsized freezer bags and lay flat to freeze as this creates more space efficient storage. Give it a try and enjoy! Simone Jennings is a community nutritionist with the Interior Health Authority

• Tomatoes originally came from Peru, where their Aztec name translated to plump thing with a navel. • The scientific name for tomato is Lycopersicon lycopersicum, meaning “wolf peach.” • People used to be afraid to eat tomatoes, thinking them poisonous due to their relation to the belladonna (deadly nightshade) plant. • Tomatoes increase in weight as they ripen, even after harvesting. • Tomatoes are the richest source of lycopene, which is important for the health of the prostate gland in men. • They were first brought to Europe in the mid-1500s. • In Italian, the tomato is pomodoro and translates to “golden apple.” • A tomato is a fruit. The confusion arose after the 1890s when the U.S. Supreme Court named them a vegetable for taxation purposes. A fruit is the edible part of the plant containing seeds; a vegetable is stem, leaf or root. • There is no mention of tomatoes in either the Bible or in the complete works of Shakespeare. • Tomato seedlings have been grown in space. • There are more than 10,000 varieties of tomato and they come in a variety of colours, including pink, purple, black, yellow and white. — quickcrop.ie

NATIONAL NEWS RCMP investigating suspected extremists who return to Canada Of 130 Canadians who went abroad supporting terror, RCMP say 80 have returned OTTAWA — Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney says the RCMP is investigating more than sixdozen Canadians who have returned from fighting extremist wars overseas. Blaney also told the Commons public-safety committee the government will bring forward new measures to help monitor suspected terrorists, but he offered no details. A recent federal report said the federal government knew of more than 130 individuals with Canadian connections who were abroad and suspected of supporting terror-related activities. It said the government was aware of about 80 such people who had returned to Canada. As extremists wage guerrilla-style battles in cities across war-stricken Syria and parts of Iraq, western nations are warning combatants could arrive home harbouring violent intentions. The RCMP is developing an “intervention program’’ that would engage police and local communities to deal with people at risk of turning to extremism. Former Kamloops resident and Thompson Rivers University student Collin Gordon is believed to be fighting for ISIL in Syria. He was a member of TRU’s men’s volleyball team in 2009 before dropping out of school and moving back to his hometown of Calgary. — The Canadian Press

Opposition parties dial back pressure over war in Iraq STEPHANIE LEVITZ

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Opposition New Democrats pledged yesterday (Oct. 8) to keep the government’s feet to the fire over Canada’s new combat mission to Iraq — but they turned down the heat considerably. The last few weeks have been characterized by nearly relentless political pressure on the Conservatives to detail plans for Canada’s military to join an international air strike campaign against extremists. Yet the tone of debate in the aftermath of Tuesday night’s vote to send Canadian fighter planes and surveillance aircraft into the skies against Iraq was less intense. New Democrat Leader Tom Mulcair said nothing has changed in terms of his party’s position. “We have the greatest respect individually for the brave women and men who serve in our military, but that doesn’t mean that we now agree with the government’s decision on this mission,’’ he told reporters yesterday.

Mulcair ‘firmly and continually’ disagrees with Canada’s involvement “We firmly and continually disagree with the mission they’ve put forward.’’ Mulcair said it was his role to keep at Prime Minister Stephen Harper for more details. “I’m going to continue asking the questions that I have to ask as leader of the opposition,” he said, “That’s my role here in Parliament, holding the government to account, saying what we would do differently. “We’re going to continue to do that. We hope that the government is a bit more forthcoming than it has been.’’ Mulcair half got his wish — Harper did reveal some new information during question period in terms of where the planes are coming from. Up to six CF-18s will be deployed from 4 Wing Cold Lake, one CC-150 Polaris will be deployed from 8 Wing Trenton and two CP-140 Auroras will be deployed from

14 Wing Greenwood, the government confirmed. Where they are going remains unknown. “The military is continuing to work on the deployment plan and I’m not at a position at this point to confirm where that deployment will be,’’ Harper said. The government motion expressly excludes the potential of joining any ground combat mission in Iraq, though it did extend the deployment of special forces working as advisers to Iraqi and Kurdish forces battling back the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant. ISIL is a splinter group of al-Qaeda now waging a brutal campaign against religious minorities and women in Iraq and Syria in order to gain control of territories there. The U.S. began a bombing campaign against their positions in Iraq in August. Nations including Britain

and France have now joined, using similar justifications as Canada’s that the Iraqi government has asked for help to beat back ISIL. But, as the campaign moves into Syria, several nations have backed away from air strikes there, fearful of any action that could be seen in support of Syrian President Bashar Assad, reviled by much of the West for his role in the brutal civil war in that country. Canada, however, has left the door open to dropping bombs if Assad were to request assistance. The NDP has repeatedly questioned that decision and it also caused one Liberal MP to break ranks with his leader’s assertion that caucus would vote unanimously against the mission. Prominent Liberal MP Irwin Cotler explained Wednesday he had no choice but to abstain.

Feds to step up ebola checks TORONTO — The federal health minister says Canada will step up border screening for Ebola. Rona Ambrose said border agents will start to use targeted temperature screens in an effort to prevent people sick with the disease from entering Canada. The U.S. government also said it will start to use enhanced airport screening for incoming passengers at the five airports that handle most flights from the affected West African countries.

Lac Megantic deaths avoidable: coroner QUEBEC — A Quebec coroner says the deaths of 47 people in the explosion of an oil tanker train in Lac Megantic in July 2013 could have been avoided. Dr. Martin Clavet

issued a report yesterday (Oct. 8) for each of the 47 victims, but said he would not comment about civil or criminal responsibility because of pending criminal charges. Engineer Tom Harding, railway traffic controller Richard Labrie and Jean Demaitre, the manager of train operations for the now-defunct Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway, each face 47 counts of criminal negligence causing death. A conviction carries a maximum life sentence. After recounting the final minutes in each victim’s life, Clavet declared in the report the “violent’’ deaths were avoidable. Many of those who died were trapped inside the Musi-Cafe, the bar and restaurant that was ground zero in

the killer explosion. The coroner had difficulty determining the exact cause of the deaths of some victims because of the condition of their remains. In his recommendations, Clavet urged Ottawa to review its regulations to determine the number of brakes that need to be enabled on trains. He also recommended the federal government ensures trains carrying dangerous materials on a main track have proper supervision. A federal measure to that effect expired in December 2013 and Clavet recommended it be re-introduced until Canadian rail companies implement additional security measures. — The Canadian Press

Manitoba fugitive returned from Texas

WINNIPEG — A Winnipeg man who fled to the United States

after killing a father and son in 1977 has been deported back to Canada. Robert Fotti was charged with dangerous driving and sentenced to nine months in jail in 1978 after running a red light, killing Gordon Hochman and his son, Stewart. Winnipeg police said Fotti went to the United States, changed his name to Robert Fox and got residency through an immigration amnesty. Police said they were told where Fotti was in 1990 but were unable to extradite him. When Fotti was convicted with tampering with U.S government records in 2008, his status was revoked and Winnipeg police began extradition proceedings. Although Fotti argued he was not a Canadian citizen, he was deported on Tuesday and remains in custody. — The Canadian Press

NATIONAL NEWS

Magnotta wanted fresh start: witness SIDHARTHA BANERJEE

THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — The man who housed Luka Rocco Magnotta in Berlin says the accused murderer had a few thousand Euro, no luggage and was reportedly looking for a fresh start after breaking up with a lover. Frank Rubert told Magnotta’s firstdegree murder trial yesterday (Oct. 8) the entire encounter with Magnotta — online and in-person — spanned several days in late May and early June 2012. He met Magnotta on a chat website called GayRomeo while looking for a roommate. Testifying through an interpreter, Rubert said they spent much of their time together shopping, eating and drinking, but did not have sex because Magnotta wasn’t his type. Rubert said he didn’t want to bring Magnotta home when he first saw him at the bus station, where he had arrived from Paris. The native of Scarborough, Ont., looked greasy and unkempt and was wearing a wig, although Rubert didn’t realize it at first.

German man who met accused online and in person eventually called police Rubert decided to bring him home because he didn’t want to leave Magnotta alone in Berlin with nowhere to go. “He arrived at the bus station and he didn’t look like somebody I would feel attracted to,’’ said Rubert, 53. Magnotta, 32, has pleaded not guilty to five charges in the murder and dismemberment of Chinese engineering student Jun Lin in late May 2012. He has admitted to the acts he’s accused of in Lin’s death, but is arguing he is not criminally responsible by way of mental disorder. In the days after the killing, Magnotta flew to France before heading to the German capital and hooking up with Rubert. Over the four days leading up to Magnotta’s arrest, the two men used Google Translate on their respective laptops to communicate as neither spoke the other’s language. During their time together, Rubert knew the accused as Kirk or by his GayRomeo user

Police in Vancouver, Ottawa look for help finding missing boy VANCOUVER — Police in Ottawa will be teaming up with the Vancouver Police Department to investigate a tip that a teenage boy who disappeared from the capital city five years ago today may be on the West Coast. Each department held a news conference, saying Justin Rutter was 14 when he was last seen by his family in Ottawa on Oct. 8, 2009. They released an artist’s drawing of what Rutter would look like now, JUSTIN at age 19. RUTTER Supt. Don Sweet of the Ottawa Police Service said the teen had a slim build, with short light brown hair and brown eyes when he went missing in 2009. Sweet says someone knows where the boy is or what happened to him and police need the public’s help to solve the mystery. Ottawa Police are offering a reward of $5,000 for information confirming Rutter’s whereabouts or leading to the arrest and prosecution of whoever is responsible for his disappearance. — The Canadian Press

name, William2323. Rubert told the jury he snapped some photos of Magnotta as the latter wanted to set up an online advertisement so he could begin working as an escort in Berlin. He said they social-

ized for four days without anything untoward happening. They were together all the time and Rubert said he never saw Magnotta take any kind of medication or appear nervous. He noted that

Magnotta was generous and often bought drinks for others. On the day of Magnotta’s arrest, June 4, 2012, the pair had parted ways for a few hours. During that time, Rubert picked up a

newspaper and saw a chilling image on the inside pages— a photo of Magnotta with a story describing an international manhunt for his arrest on suspicion of murder. Rubert said the story mentioned the person was being sought for killing his Chinese friend and that body parts had been sent to the government.

The article also mentioned that pieces of a body had been eaten in front of a camera and that it had been documented on the Internet. Rubert contacted police and waited at a nearby station, while a Internet-cafe employee spotted Magnotta in his establishment and also flagged down an officer who was passing by.

ROSS EDEN December 13, 1919 - October 5, 2014 With his family by his side Ross Beatty Eden passed away on October 5, 2014, just short of his 95th birthday. Ross was born to Stan and Sadie Eden of Watch Lake, BC on December 13, 1919 in Ashcroft, BC. In 1920 when Ross was one year old they moved from the one room cabin at the head of Watch Lake to the house his dad helped build. At the early age of twelve Ross started learning how to break colts and work horses. Ross joined the army at the age of 21 and was deployed for duty in the fall of 1943. When World War II ended in 1945 Ross returned to Canada but not before marrying Jean Leggett on July 4, 1945 in Rutherglen, Scotland. Ross & Jean lived in various locations in the Cariboo until 1963 when they moved their family to Monte Creek where Ross began his career as Ranch Foreman for the Bostock Ranch, then for Wayne & Valene Everett when the ranch ownership changed. Ross was well respected in the ranching industry. He had great knowledge of cattle and all aspects of the ranch operation. After retiring from ranching in the early 80’s Ross worked as a Brand Inspector for the Provincial Government and then worked at the BC Livestock Co-op.

JOAN SHARRON

GLEN DALE-JOHNSON

JONES

December 1, 1948 - October 4, 2014

December 9,1938 - October 2,2014

With profound sadness we announce Glen Dale-Johnson passed following a short battle with cancer. He left us while holding his wife Karen’s hand and with family at his side. Glenwood Walter Dale-Johnson was born in Seattle, Washington. At the age of 4, with his brothers Rod & Vern and parents Frank & Marnie, they relocated to Paul Lake, BC where Glen would spend the most formative years of his life. Operating Echo Lodge with his family, Glen found his love for fishing, waterskiing, snow skiing, hard work and horsing around. After graduating Kam High in 1967, Glen attended BCIT where he became a Civil Engineering Technician, starting a long road of excellence in his field. He was admired by peers for his knowledge, precision and amazing aptitude for design. In 1986, he joined close friend Terry Underwood at TRUE Engineering where he worked until retirement in 2011. In 1970, while in hospital, Glen met and flirted with a pretty, young nursing school student who cared for him. 18 months later and one week after Karen’s graduation, the two were married in Kamloops. They settled in Westsyde in a home they built on Bank Road. Eventually, daughter Tamara (1976) and son Ryan (1977) completed the family. In the winter of 1990 the family relocated to a small acreage on Dairy Road where Glen’s amazing ability to learn any skill would shine in his adoption of a farming lifestyle - building the straightest fences imaginable, caring for horses, tending to all the neighbours’ hay fields and constantly maintaining, repairing and improving all things mechanical. Glen always had a love of things with motors and wheels that perhaps started with squeezing a Porsche motor into his VW Bug. More recently he neared completion of a 1948 International pick-up - a 30+ year restoration of the same model vehicle on which he learned to drive. In 2005, during a trans America tour with his brother Vern, Glen found a love for British racing cars that led to his purchase of a Caterham Super-7. He spent many happy hours working on and touring in the “Seven” with co-pilot Karen. Glen opened his heart and toolbox to all. Family and friends alike knew that they could count on his love and help without question. Glen is survived by wife Karen of Kamloops, daughter Tamara (John) Stuhldreier and grandson Austin of Edmonton, son Ryan (Angela) Dale-Johnson of Kamloops, brothers Vern (Amanda) Dale-Johnson of Sydney, Australia and Rod (Lynne) Dale-Johnson of Delta, BC, many nieces and nephews and countless friends. A celebration of Glen’s life will be held at Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive on Saturday, October 11th at 1:00pm. In lieu of flowers, should friends so desire, donations in Glen’s name may be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home or charity of choice.

BARBARA TURNER

September 13, 1965 – October 4, 2014 Peacefully

Trina Louise Pietramala passed away October 4, 2014 surrounded by her family. Trina is survived by her children, Frank Pietramala and Melissa Pietramala, and her sister, Elaine (Kerry) Bonderud. Trina was born in Calgary, AB. She grew up in Airdrie, AB, Kitimat, BC, and moved to Kamloops in 1974. She attended school at Marion Schilling Elementary, Kay Bingham Elementary, Brocklehurst Junior Secondary and graduated from NorKam Secondary. Trina married Augie Pietramala in 1989. Mom dedicated her soul to her children and took great pride in every one of our accomplishments. Every moment of Mom’s life she tried to make it amazing, no matter how good or bad things were; she stayed strong when her children couldn’t. Her focus as a Mom was to take care of the household duties and would make our lives easier. Whenever Mom was cooking, the aromas drifted down the street, through the neighbourhood, and we would know what was for dinner walking home from school. Trina was selfless and never put herself first. She was always the one people could rely on and never expected anything in return. We will miss her, she will forever be in our hearts.

... By Edgar Guest

“I’ll lend you for a little time A child of Mine” He said, “For you to love while he lives, And mourn when he is dead. It may be six or seven years, Or twenty-two or three, But will you, till I call him back Take care of him for Me? He’ll bring his charms to gladden you, And should his stay be brief, You’ll have his lovely memories As solace for your grief.

Mrs. Barbara Turner passed away peacefully in Kamloops on October 4, 2014, aged 72 years.

I cannot promise he will stay Since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn. I’ve looked the wide world over In my search for teachers true, And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes I have selected you. Now will you give him all your love, Nor think the labour vain, Not hate Me when I come To call and take him back again? I fancied that I heard them say Dear Lord, Thy will be done. For all the joy this child shall bring, The risk of grief we’ll run. We’ll shelter him with tenderness. We’ll love him while we may, And for the happiness we’ve known Forever grateful stay. And should the angels call for him Much sooner than we’d planned, We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes And try to understand.

She and Garnett were adventurous together; they lived in the moment, always making new memories in the many places they visited throughout the years. However her favourite places were their beautiful home in Westsyde, where she loved to entertain and host during the holidays, and the cabin, located at North Barriere Lake. It’s the setting for countless memories and happy times with the countless friends and family who visited. The more the merrier; everyone was always welcome. Pam loved to golf, and was an active member of the Dunes at Kamloops. In her younger years she enjoyed many activities including slo-pitch, curling, skiing, both on snow and water. Cooking was her passion, whether it was a meal for ten or one hundred, it made no difference; their door was always open. To describe Pam, Mom, or Granny is simple: she was pure love. She was inexhaustible kindness, never ending energy; if she stopped moving it was for a very brief moment or to share a memory with the people she loved. Selfless, and a friend to everyone who met her, Pam was always positive and found the good in everybody she met; she was loved by all; Self-described as THE luckiest woman in the world, her family meant everything and more to her.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Shuswap Lake Hospital Foundation, Box 265, Salmon Arm, BC, V1E 4N3.

FAITH

A lesson for celebrating Thanksgiving

s the harvest season, with its attendant Thanksgiving celebrations, has begun, it’s a good time to be reminded of the priority of praising God. King David’s Psalm 145 in the Old Testament gives a good handle to do this. One of the most common ways to praise God is through our prayers. It’s interesting Jesus left us only one prayer as an example of how we are to pray NARAYAN (Mt. 6:9-13). Commonly MITRA called The Lord’s You gotta have Prayer, its accuFAITH rate title should be the “Disciples’ Prayer.” “Hallowed” is a New Testament expression used only in reference to the name of God, meaning to revere. Praise is vocal adoration of God. Adoration is the act of rendering divine honour, esteem and love. Praise is also an essential part of life because only praise

puts God in His rightful position. In praising God, we declare His sovereignty and recognize His nature and power. There’s also another key benefit of praise — it enables us to focus rightfully. Praise, by its nature, is unselfish, because it demands a shift in centre from self to God. One cannot praise God without relinquishing preoccupation with self. Praise, then, produces forgetfulness of one’s self and forgetfulness of self is a healthy biblical practice. The phrase “Praise the Lord” has been so overused in our times it means very little. It has fast become religious slang, a catch phrase. Technically, to praise someone is the act of one’s esteem of a person for his virtue or accomplishments. It is to pronounce that person worthy of honour. As Hebrew people attempted to offer meaningful praise to God, both in their personal prayers and in worship services, far too often they found themselves in mindless repetition. Because God is awesome, they would simply say the same things over and over again, even though they understood vain repetition is a bad thing. It is not a scriptural concept. Hence, they came up with a

system to stimulate praise, i.e., the acrostic system we see in Psalm 145. All but one verse startsoff with a Hebrew alphabet. A simple outline of the 21-verse psalm can be recorded as: • Who can praise God? (1a). The answer: Only His disciples who are His children. • When should we praise God? (1b). Forever. • Why should we praise God? (3-20)? Because He is great. Verses three to 20 are loaded with attributes and the works of God. God is great, mighty, majestic, merciful, a mystery, good, long-suffering, perfectly unconditional, omniscient and consistent. In spite of the above attributes, when God seems to be far away from us, let us remember we are the ones who generally move and not Him. Yet, we can go nowhere out of His presence. He would be always with us. We don’t invite Him into our churches — He is already there. Nevertheless, the principle remains God responds to those who love Him. What a source of comfort that is. How can we not praise Him for that? With these, David concludes the psalm in verse 21 in the only way he could. It’s as if he says, “Look, after all I have said about

God, I have no other choice but to praise Him.” By the way, let’s not forget the mouth speaks only those things that come from the heart, so David’s heart must have been full of praise for God. Notice also his prayer is that all men would praise God forever and ever. Every psalm David wrote encourages us to praise Him in some ways. David could think that way because his focus was on God and not on himself. By nature, we are a long way from being like David. At times, we seem to picture the Bible’s characters as guys who were sitting out in the wilderness with nothing better to do. David was the leader of a vast empire and his days were full but, he always understood the priority of praising his heavenly Father. On Thanksgiving 2014, let us recognize the graciousness of God in our lives to the degree that we are in a constant state of praise — praising Him, first of all, for who He is, and then for what He has done for us.

TD Bank supports First-Nations students An aboriginalmentorship program at Thompson Rivers University has received $350,000 from the TD Bank Group. The donation, which will be spread over five years, will be used to create an endowment for awards given through the program.

couldn’t believe what I had just heard. Her voice punctured the collective groan of more than 450 disappointed fans. It cut through the cacophony, slicing through the din of the arena like a hot knife through butter. It stunned those around her, especially the two ladies she shared a bench with, and horrified faces, mouths agape, turned toward her from every direction. She’d broken the cardinal rule. She had said something she couldn’t take back. The damage had been done. “Good job, Storm!” she yelled. I was in 100 Mile House, watching the Kamloops Storm take on the host Wranglers on Friday, Oct. 3. Kamloops had just scored to go up 1-0, a lead they wouldn’t surrender for the rest of the game, en route to a 5-3 victory. To say that junior B hockey has been a success in 100 Mile would be a gross understatement — in just their second year in existence, the Wranglers have

hen Iuliia Pakhomenko left Ukraine in 2012, she had no idea her family would be fleeing the country two years later. But the day came, as hostilities reached a boiling point between armed rebels and the Ukrainian National Army, when her family decided it was time to leave their homeland. They would seek safety in Russia.

“I was trying to make them leave Ukraine as soon as possible,” Pakhomenko told KTW. She knew when her family finally departed on their month-long journey in search of asylum, but had no way of knowing what was happening along the way. “There was a time when I couldn’t talk to them for like three weeks, because there was no Internet and no phone service.” Pakhomenko is one of a number of new additions to an

improved TRU WolfPack women’s volleyball team this season. Both the men and the women get underway on Friday, Oct. 10, in Langley, facing the Trinity Western University Spartans. Born and raised in the eastern Ukrainian city of Druzhkovka, the 22-year-old left Europe two years ago in pursuit of an education and the opportunity to play university volleyball. She hit the floor for two seasons at Northwood University in Michigan before

coming to Canada in the summer to suit up for the WolfPack. TRU head coach Chad Grimm said Pakhomenko was a fit for the WolfPack as an experienced player who could generate points for TRU. He knew her as an accomplished athlete from her time at Northwood. Her career at the American university is all the more impressive, given what was happening in her personal life at the time. The situation in Ukraine was deteriorat-

become the attraction in the community. And this woman had the nerve to congratulate the Storm. How dare she! She was one of the loudest in the crowd that night, bellowing like a hockey mom, in the fashion all too familiar in rinks across the country. I remember, in the early moments of the game, thinking about moving to another seat, I wasn’t sure I could stomach the noise for a full three hours. As people turned and glared, her response was surprising. “What?” she said. “They deserve to have someone cheer for them, too.” And there it was.

ing and Pakhomenko’s family was hours from some of the fighting. She knew her family was likely safe — they lived on a farm outside of the city — but she was stressed by stories of Ukrainians in the same area hiding in homes together, waiting out the fighting while huddled in basements. Things aren’t much better now, even with a supposed ceasefire achieved last month. Fighting continues, with rebels attempting to seize an airport in Donetsk as recently as last week, according to the Guardian. Yesterday (Oct. 8), the UN reported at least 3,660 people have died during the six months of fighting, 331 of whom have been killed since the September ceasefire. Getting to Russia was no easy task for Pakhomenko’s family. Her mother first sent her younger sister to south Ukraine to live with a family friend. The visit stretched on for a month before her mother used the premise of picking her daughter up as a guise for heading to nearby Crimea.

on the politics and isn’t taking sides in the fighting, instead focusing on her life in Canada. She doesn’t know what she’ll do after she graduates — whether she’ll go back to her homeland or seek citizenship elsewhere — but she still identifies as a Ukrainian. She said since she hasn’t been back since the unrest, she still feels Ukrainian, even though her part of Ukraine is what she termed “New Russia.” But, those are all decisions for the future. Right now, she’s focusing on volleyball at TRU. When asked what her goals for the season are, Pakhomenko had just one. “A national championship,” she said.

It was something I thought long lost, an idea that seems to have faded into the annals of sporting history. She was showing sportsmanship. I’ll admit, I’m no expert when it comes to sportsmanship, especially in the world of athletics. I love to win and, often times, I’m driven as much by my desire to make someone else lose as by the thought of victory. It has always been like that for me. I remember hating the handshake line when I played sports as a kid and, to be honest, most times, I still do. I can’t easily put aside my competitiveness after a game.

My opponents are not just opponents — they’re enemies. Why make nice with them? The same goes for watching sports. As a life-long fan of the Los Angeles Kings, for example, I have come to feel a genuine hatred toward teams like the Anaheim Ducks, the San Jose Sharks and, yes, the Vancouver Canucks. So, you can see why this woman’s comments struck me as odd. But, days later, I found myself still thinking about that moment. Sportsmanship hails from a better time, when games weren’t just about winning, about whose kid was better, about who would make it to the

big leagues. One only needs to do a quick Google search to see how uncommon sportsmanship has become — the Internet is rife with screaming hockey parents, vicious commenters and news of sports-fuelled fights. However, sportsmanship, the idea that accomplishments should be celebrated, regardless of allegiance, is a noble one. It’s something to strive for, something I should probably practise a little more often. The woman’s gesture during that KIJHL game was a simple one — a harmless cheer for the opposing team. It wasn’t an act that will become sporting lore. It wasn’t the Jamaican bobsled

team walking across the finish line with their sled in the 1988 Olympics. It wasn’t Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga forgiving umpire Jim Joyce for ruining his perfect game with a missed call in 2010. But, it was no less important. I’ve yet to master sportsmanship myself. Maybe it’s something that will come with age, but I got a wake-up call that night in 100 Mile House. I don’t think that woman set out for the arena that day aiming to prove a point, but I left having learned a lesson. Sportsmanship has a place in competition. Next time, go against the crowd.

Picture purrrrfect pets

ost people that I

know choose to have some kind of pet in their home. I have two cats and a tank full of fish. I know many people who have dogs; they range hugely in size and breed and make wonderful companions. There is a dog out there for everyone who wants one. Then there are birds, snakes, iguanas, geckos, spiders, hamsters, guinea pigs, ferrets, rabbits, goats, pigs and even horses. The benefits of having a pet are enormous. Pets and kids are good for each other. Children with pets are more likely to have higher self-esteem and learn how to care for and love an animal. Pets can be beneficial to your health. Stroking and or talking to a pet reduces blood pressure and stress.

KARLA PEARCE

EDGE

Many senior citizens claim having a pet in their home has a positive impact on their well-being and health. Pets can be wonderful, loving companions; they listen well and mostly don’t talk back, except maybe if you have a talking bird. With my cats, it’s a purrrrrr. In most instances, we outlive our pets and, just like any family member, it is nice to have a memory or reminder of them. One way we can do this is by creating a portrait of your pet. The easiest method is taking a photograph-

ic portrait. I have seen many p portraits where the pet a animal is brought to a studio and coaxed in posing for a staged into p photo. This can be a really fu way to create a fun m memory of your furry fr friend but it is involved and our pets may pose the way we want. Another option is to take several photos yourself. Get them into a setting where they are comfortable and take 100 photos. As a general rule, even the most amateur photographer will get a good photo — even if it is sheer luck. Once you have picked out a good photograph, it can then be blown up and framed or printed on stretched canvas to create a lasting memory. The other option is to create a piece of artwork of your pet. Sketches or paintings from photographs can be a beautiful way to bring a personal touch to your animal’s personality.

Don’t draw? That’s OK. We have a solution for that. One method of transferring a photograph to paper or a canvas is by a light projector. Place an image under the bottom of the projector and it will project the image to the wall, where it can be traced onto a piece of paper or a canvas. Once you have your photo transfer, it is just a matter of colouring or painting in the lines. I have taught children as young as seven this technique and it is easy. Anyone can do it with good results. Don’t have the time or the creative skills to create an animal portrait on your own? There are professional artists in the Kamloops area who would love to do a painting of a beloved animal. An acrylic, oil or watercolour painting done by an artist is a wonderful way to remember and

cherish a furry family member. It can be a reminder of your animals personality and the happy times you spent together.

If you are interested in learning more about what kind of pet is right for you or adopting a pet contact the Kamloops SPCA online at spca.bc.ca/branch-

On October 18th, Colombo Lodge will be transformed into a glamorous ballroom for Dancing Like the Stars Kamloops. Guests will betreated to a specially prepared gourmet menu and entertained with seven couples performing and competing against each other to win Kamloops’ first ever Dancing Like the Stars prestigious trophy. The competitors consist of a mix of professional dancers and local celebrities. The competition won’t be easy, however, as there will be a panel of four judges critiquing each performance.

Breast Cancer marches on and it is important for the RIH Foundation to continue funding for Breast Health in our Community. The RIH Foundation’s goal is to use proceeds from this event to develop a rapid-access Breast Health Centre in Kamloops; the only one of its kind in Interior BC. The rapid- access process will drastically reduce the wait times for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Proudly presented by Kamloops Honda, Dancing Like the Stars brings a fun and unique event to our community. Celebrity community members, dance studios, media representatives, and others are excited to be involved in this fundraiser for women’s health. This new-to-Kamloops event showcases our local talent while entertaining and involving attendees. At this elegant fundraiser, guests are asked to dress for the occasion by wearing either black or white.

Tickets are on sale now and going fast- so don’t miss your chance to see the Mayor of Kamloops tap dancing!

IT’S LIKE HERDING GEESE

It feels like fall outside — for people who are thinking about bundling up or heading south and for geese who are likely just thinking about heading south . . . but not before a pit stop on McArthur Island, where these youngsters were trying to round up some feathered friends.

Use logic and process of elimination to solve the puzzle.

MORTGAGE MATTERS Planning a Purchase? Know the FIVE C’s of Borrowing Money Purchasing a home is a major decision; it represents the single largest purchase a family will ever make. So when it comes to qualifying for home financing, what should you know? Here are the 5 C’s important to the bank: Capital – How much do you have to put down for the purchase of your new home? The larger the down payment, the less risk you present to the lender. 5% is the normal down payment required to purchase a home in Canada. However, if your credit is good, there are a few lenders who can gift you the down payment in return for a higher mortgage interest rate. Having no down payment is not always a limitation. Capacity – Is your income sufficient to support the repayment of the requested loan amount? Most lenders will allow about 40% of your income to go towards housing costs and debt. The housing and debt calculation looks like this: monthly debt payments plus housing costs plus heat plus ½ strata fees if applicable must be under 40% of gross income. Be aware: Monthly debt payments includes: car loan, credit card, lease payments, etc. Housing costs include mortgage and taxes for all your properties Heat is usually estimated between $85 to $100 per month Credit – Is the financial institution confident that you will pay them back? Credit is the evaluation of your habits when it comes to borrowing. If you have never taken out a loan or used a credit card, you may be surprised to find out you have no credit rating at all! A credit check reports your credit history and provides a numerical score based on your habits of borrowing and repaying debt (0 to 900, 900 is best). Collateral – Will the real estate purchase offer suitable collateral to the lender? In the event of a default, the lender will sell your collateral to recoup their loan plus foreclosure expenses. So, lenders will do their homework to ensure the property is in good condition with good resale value. They may not always agree with your purchase price. In some cases, lenders will require an appraisal. Character – What kind of impression do you make? Character is your reputation and reliability. The bank may not have had prior dealings with you, so how do they determine your character? The lender will often look at your: •Assets/ Debt/ Net worth – How have you spent your earnings? What do you have to show for it? •Educational background and work experience *People with a transient job history or address history are seen as less reliable than someone who has been in a home or job for 20 years.* For more information about qualifying for a mortgage or if you have questions about your specific situation, please call 250 682 6077 or e-mail steve.bucher@migroup.ca or check out my website at www.mortgagebuilder.ca Today’s Mortgage Matters is brought to you by Steve Bucher.

The performance of the all-new, 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 establishes it as one of the most capable vehicles on the market — and one of the few to achieve sub-three-second zero to 60 mph performance and a sub-11-second quarter-mile time. The Corvette Z06 accelerates from a rest to 60 mph in only 2.95 seconds when equipped with the all-new, available eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission — and achieves it in 3.2 seconds with the standard seven-speed manual transmission. A quarter-mile sprint takes just 10.95 seconds with the eight-speed automatic and 11.2 seconds with the seven-speed manual. With both versions, the Corvette Z06 hits 127 mph at the end of the quarter-mile. When it comes to braking performance, the Z06 can stop from 60 mph in only 99.6 feet. That’s the best braking performance of any production car GM has ever tested. Additionally, the Corvette Z06 achieves 1.2 g in lateral acceleration compared with the Corvette’s previous best 1.13 g. The new Z06 is also the fastest production car ever tested at GM’s 2.9-mile Milford Road Course, beating the record set by the Corvette ZR1 by a full second. All test results were achieved with Z06 coupes fitted with the Z07 Performance package, which adds Brembo carbon ceramic brake rotors and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. The Z07 package also features the most aggressive aerodynamic package available on the Corvette Z06, which delivers the most downforce of any production car GM has ever tested.

Ford hiring more than 1,000 in Ont.

Cadillac Nissan joins forces with FIA for road safety interiors fuse art, science Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. and the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) jointly

Cadillac is the only full-line automaker constructing all of its models’ interiors via cut-and-sew, a technique combining the precision of advanced technology with the care of handcraftsmanship in which materials for major interior components are literally joined by hand stitching. Before pieces are sewn together to form the coverings for various interior components, materials and hides are hand-inspected and the patterns “nested” by a scrapreducing computerautomated machine. These pieces are transferred to different stations for the hand sewing of functional and decorative stitching. Application to the various interior parts — such as dashboards, door panels and center consoles — are also done by hand. Lasers that cut the perforation for the airbag door and threedimensional computer mapping that determines the best way to fit materials onto a certain interior piece fuse state-of-the-art technology with the human touch. While many luxury carmakers have used this technique for topend models, no other brand applies them to all its cars. Cadillac offers cut-and-sewn interiors from its entry ATS product line up through to the Escalade SUV. The Cadillac design and engineering teams work with several suppliers to craft the interiors, which are installed during final vehicle assembly. FINANCING
