NASA’s unmanned Antares rocket exploded on take-off on Tuesday, Oct. 28.
Students watch project blow up aboard rocket DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Paul Hembling was stuck in a meeting — but his attention was elsewhere. It was firmly focused on a rocket scheduled to lift off from Earth on Tuesday, Oct. 28, carrying among its cargo an experiment created by four Kamloops students and headed to the International Space Station. He left the meeting and made it to his office at Bert Edwards science and technology school, where he is the principal, in time to sit down, watch the 14-storey rocket launch — and promptly explode. The explosion destroyed a science experiment created by four boys who attend Kamloops’ McGowan Park elementary, in Sharmane
Baerg’s Grade 6/7 class. The explosion also ruined 17 other experiments chosen through the student space-flight experiments program run by the National Centre for Earth and Space Science Education in the U.S. “The first thing I thought was I want my $25,000 back,” Hembling said of the cost he and others in the Kamloops-Thompson school district fundraised to help pay for the opportunity to have their kids’ creations head to space. And, true to his profession, Hembling saw lots of teachable moments in the explosion the students — and many others who were as interested and engaged in the entire program through the competition — likely watched.

Three Kamloops boys have pleaded guilty to criminal harassment for what the Crown called “pressured sexting” in a case that garnered national headlines. The three — all 15 years of age and all appearing at a sentencing hearing on Tuesday, Oct. 28 — admitted to pressuring young girls for nude photos, demands that were in some cases persistent and involved threats to share the photos with others. In all cases, the girls took the photos themselves. In return for the pleas, the Crown dropped the original charges of possession and distribution of child pornography. The sentencing was conducted under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The names of the three teens and their victims are banned from publication under a court order. The investigation began in January, after a Kamloops highschool student informed a staff member at a local school about an alleged incident. That triggered a police investigation. It prompted the KamloopsThompson school district to bring an expert from Vancouver earlier this year to talk to students about the danger of sharing too much information online. The three teenage boys attended different city schools. In court, Crown prosecutor
Teens in sexting case plead guilty to reduced charges Some of the texts These are two of the actual texts entered into court which show the three boys begging girls for nude photos Sarah Firestone said th he three the boys traded images off girls who were between 13 and 15 years of age. Three girls were named as victims on each of the indictments, some of them the same person. The exchanges of photos and texts with girls used a variety of social media, including Snapchat, Kik and iMessage. Firestone said the girls, in some instances, were under the impression the photos would disappear using Snapchat, but there are methods to retain images. “This is strange new ground,” the prosecutor said. “It comes with recent devel-
opments in technology. technol These are things that wou would never happen face-to-face. “I have a hard time thinking young men would come up to random strangers and ask them for nude pictures.” In some instances, boys sent pictures of their genitals. In sentencing submissions, the Crown asked for a period of 12 months of probation for the three, including 50 hours of community service. Defence lawyer Kevin Church told Judge Roy Dickey the three are being made “scapegoats” for what was a widespread practice among teens in the city.

A Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) candidate believes the City of Kamloops has inadvertently tampered with election results after homes in Sun Rivers received reminders to vote for Kamloops’ city council on Nov. 15. Sun Rivers residents are meant to cast ballots in TNRD’s Area P and cannot vote in the city election unless they are doing so as non-resident property owners. Incumbent Area P director John Sternig worries the cards will confuse voters, who may find themselves unprepared when faced with a TNRD ballot, because they may have been researching potential Kamloops councillors. Sternig, who is running against former Kamloops mayor and former Kamloops Daily News editor Mel Rothenburger, said he is concerned voters may then fall back on “name recognition” rather than picking a candidate
City of Kamloops voter cards mistakenly sent to residents they believe is best for the job. “The City of Kamloops has entered the race, so to speak, in Area P,” a frustrated Sternig said. “I’m just wondering how such an egregious error could have happened. What’s next? They’re going to send notices to Clinton?” This is the first year Kamloops City Hall has mailed out voterinformation cards, which remind residents “your city, your vote” and “elect your next city council.” Tammy Robertson, City of Kamloops’ business and client services manager, said the city intended to send the cards to Rayleigh residents, but accidentally included Sun Rivers in the mailout. “We’re crafting an email which Sun Rivers has agreed to send out to their database of all their residents, informing them of the error and informing them of their eligibility to vote in the
City of Kamloops election, or the regional district area election,” Robertson said, pledging the notice would go out the same day. Sternig argued the correction doesn’t fully solve the problem, however, since the city has now promoted the TNRD’s election to only a small segment of its residents. He has contacted the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, which is responsible for local government issues, to press the matter. Rothenburger, meanwhile, said in a release he’s worried that some Sun Rivers residents may not realize they are eligible to vote anywhere after receiving the city’s correction notice. “Residents of Sun Rivers need to feel assured they haven’t been disenfranchised in this election,” he said. “A good turnout is essential to the democratic process.”
Gerald Burgess placed on house arrest, can’t own firearms TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A B.C. man convicted of running a drug-trafficking ring out of the fishing resort he owns and operates will spend the next 10 months on house arrest. Gerald Burgess has been sentenced in B.C. Supreme Court to a conditional-sentence order of two years less a day. The 64-year-old owner of a resort at Loon Lake, near Clinton, north of Cache Creek, was arrested following a police raid of his home at the resort in February 2011. Court heard police seized cocaine and a variety of prescription drugs, and found a loaded shotgun near the top of Burgess’ bed. The Crown alleged he was selling drugs out of his home to supplement the resort business. This past summer, a jury convicted Burgess on six counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking relating to oxycodone, morphine, lorazepam, hydromorphone, temazepam and clonazepam, but not cocaine. The jury found him not guilty of firearms charges. In addition to serving 10 months of house arrest, Burgess will also be bound by a lifetime firearms ban and will be ordered to submit a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database. He also must allow police to search his property at any point during the next two years, except for rooms housing clients.

Province starts LNG skills tour
Deal reached with B.C. docs
The B.C. government has begun a provincial tour of liquefied natural-gas technology and skills training, with more than 2,000 people registered to attend the first stops this week in Prince George. The tour will come to Kamloops early next year.
VICTORIA — A tentative five-year contract agreement has been reached between British Columbia’s 10,000 doctors and the provincial government. Few specifics of the proposed contract are being provided, but the government says the deal that is expected to be ratified in early December is in line with its bargaining mandate and addresses key health-care issues. Health Minister Terry Lake says the province has worked hard over the past year with doctors to collaborate on strategies that improve services for patients and the current agreement con-

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond said the tour focuses on the need for skilled workers as the baby boom generation retires. The Ministry of Natural Gas Development will have facilities on hand to allow students in grades 8 to 10 to take part in an interactive exhibit, where they can try welding, carpentry, accounting and other skills needed in the industry. Displays and information kits will show how gas is extracted using hydraulic fracturing of deep rock formations and how it is processed into LNG for use as fuel for vehicles
or power plants. Science World B.C. is taking part with a demonstration of energy science and technology. The tour will arrive in Kamloops on Feb. 3 and Feb. 4 at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre in Aberdeen. The province recently set a tax for LNG production. Proposals are in play for locations including in Kitimat and Prince Rupert on B.C.’s Northern Coast. Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman said more communities will be added after the initial seven stops — the seventh of which will be Kamloops.
Decision in November From page A1
He said 25 other boys were named in disclosure to lawyers, but the Crown did not lay charges against them. In reply, Firestone said the Crown had evidence to prosecute only the three. Images of 32 girls, semiclothed and topless, were circulated, according to Crown information provided to defence. “They’ve been dragged through court to say, ‘You can’t keep doing this,’” Church said. Lawyers said their clients have been stigmatized due to the original charges of child pornography. The three boys were variously described as wellmannered and achieving good marks in school. Defence lawyers asked Dickey to sentence their clients to a lesser conditional discharge, saying the arrests and publicity have left the boys socially isolated — in particular because they were banned from using cell phones for eight months. Defence lawyer Don Campbell argued the Crown is using the case as an example to stop similar behaviour among teens.

— Crown prosecutor Sarah Firestone
“It’s not the purpose of the court to use these young men as examples,” he said. Under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, the sentencing judge is not permitted to cite general deterrence in order to stop others — a common sentencing principle in adult court. Firestone cited a story in Atlantic magazine called Why Kids Sext, a practice it called “not universal or vanishingly rare.” But, she added, the Crown is not prosecuting for images sent in confidence between boyfriend and girlfriend. “We are prosecuting pressured sexting,” Firestone said. In one instance, one of the boys texted a girl, saying she was “frigid” after she refused to send a photo. All images were captured on cellphones. In two instances, parents turned the phones over to school authorities after some
information and applications were deleted. Firestone said among harm to the victims is they do not know how wide the distribution of their images, nor whether they will appear elsewhere online. Dickey reserved sentencing until November. Court also heard the school district meted out its own discipline, including suspensions. When the information about the police probe became public in January, Terry Sullivan, the then-superintendent of the Kamloops-Thompson school district, said the probe involved a “significant number” of students at multiple secondary schools in the KamloopsThompson school district — not only in the Tournament Capital itself. At the time, Sullivan urged parents to speak with their children about appropriate behaviour. “Adolescence is a time where we test boundaries and we test authority and we’re looking for new experiences,” he said. “These poor decisions could have very significant impacts that could last a long time.”

Funding from the deal will target improving access to primary care, increased services in rural and remote communities and an ongoing plan to recruit and retain family doctors and specialists. Doctors of BC president Dr. Bill Cavers says the deal provides funding to improve services for patients and to cover rising overhead costs for physicians. Finance Minister Mike de Jong says the long-term agreement helps the government manage health-care costs while continuing to achieve better health outcomes for patients. — The Canadian Press

Calgary police issued a public appeal earlier this month, saying Robert Wellingford is wanted in connection to a series of break and enters that date back to 2010. Police say many of the crimes involved the culprit breaking into a store within a strip mall and smashing through drywall in order to get into neighbouring businesses. Police now believe Wellingford, who is also known as Robert McLaughlin, may be in B.C. The 53-year-old suspect is described as being six-foot-one and weighing roughly 225 pounds. He has blonde hair and hazel eyes, and walks with a slight limp. — The Canadian Press

tests the University of British Columbia team headed by Dr. Corey Nislow will use to identify each participants’ genetic makeup — and, in particular, how their bodies metabolize drugs. The target drug is warfarin, a blood thinner, and participants need not be a client of Pratt’s to take part. The test is a simple saliva sample. Chris Cameron said the pharmacy he manages is often asked to take part in drugs-related research “because we’re an old-school pharmacy. We do compounds. We know our patients.” Cameron said the focus of this study, the only one of its kind in North America, is interesting because it is aimed at learning how

Kamloops Mounties are looking for the driver of a vehicle that struck a pedestrian on the Trans-Canada Highway in Valleyview. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said two men were walking along the shoulder of the highway between Highland Drive and River Road just after 7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 27, when the mirror of a passing vehicle clipped one of them and sent both men into the ditch. Both men were taken to hospital, both with non-life-threatening injuries. Police are using debris left at the scene to determine the type of vehicle involved. Anyone with information can call Mounties at 250-8283000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

They travel in small tubes and the Kamloops students were given five of them. One was used to train the students on how to load the experiment and the other four are versions of their creation. “One’s blown up now,” Hembling said. “But, there’s one at TRU and two others that we can use as well.” The one at Thompson Rivers University was designed to conduct the same experiment in full gravity as astronauts on the ISS to compare the results. “We can do it again,” Hembling said.

LOCAL NEWS Court date set for ex-NHL enforcer charged with assault TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A former NHL enforcer facing assault and driving charges in Kamloops will be back in court next month. Rudy Poeschek, who played parts of a dozen seasons in the NHL, is facing charges of assault, driving while prohibited and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. The 47-year-old was charged following an alleged incident on July 5, the details of which have not yet been made public. Splitting time between the New York Rangers, Winnipeg Jets, Tampa Bay Lightning and St. Louis Blues, Poeschek played 364 NHL games over 12 seasons, tallying six goals and 25 assists while racking up 817 penalty minutes.

LESSONS TO LEARN FROM THE FRAY There are three lessons to take away from last week’s shootings on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The first one — one that played out in front of radio listeners and TV viewers throughout the day — is not to over-react. After Michael Zehaf-Bibeau shot Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and made a beeline for the Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings, those tasked with security there did their duty. They tried to stop him at the main entrance. They followed the man as he headed down the Hall of Honour and continued to exchange gunfire with him. Finally, Sergeant at Arms Kevin Vickers was able to fire at him and bring him down. The Canadian media coverage of the events of the day was ongoing, but it was not filled with over-reactions. Instead, it was done in a moderate tone, with facts relayed as they became available. Video taken on a cellphone by a Globe and Mail reporter of the actual shooting of Zehaf-Bibeau provided context and sound effects and was very effective. An investigation is underway and it includes a detailed look at a video the shooter left behind. The federal government needs to take the same approach — move slowly and not overreact. The second lesson is that there is clearly a need for better security at the Parliament Buildings. Part of this may be due to a variety of forces being responsible for various aspects of security, but access to Parliament through the front door is too easy. The third lesson is the need for all political parties to co-operate more often, as shown in extraordinary actions in the House of Commons. Parties can and should disagree, but they can also agree on many measures to make Canada safer and fight this new type of lone-wolf terrorism. Canadians would greatly appreciate a Parliament that works for them, not just for partisan advantage.

When is a slate a slate?
A
nyone else confused about Vision Kamloops? It looks like a slate, advertises itself like a slate — yes, the walks like a duck and talks like a duck analogy would be fitting here. There doesn’t seem to be any common platform coming from the city-council candidates who make up Vision Kamloops, other than not wanting to see Ajax allowed to build its mine and complaining about the lack of transparency at City Hall. I guess that means the five of them — Denis Walsh, Dieter Dudy, Daphane Nelson, Jenny Green and Brad Harrison — would also like to see a change in leadership although, strangely enough, the group didn’t adopt Pierre Filisetti as its mayoral candidate. He’s also against Ajax, shared the viewpoints of Walsh and Green — both members of the Downtown-West End Residents Association — about the closure of Stuart Wood elementary and has several other downtown-focused aspects, like the now-they-work, now-they-don’t parking meters, to his campaign. The five of them are grouped together on election signs now scattered throughout the city and they have held joint press conferences but continue to insist they’re just an alliance of Kamloopsians who share some common views and differ on others. Taking that definition, every-

Street
LEVEL one running for council share viewpoints and differ on others so what else makes this Vision Kamloops team stand out? Nothing. Well, maybe the fact two of the group have made their own mark politically in the past, with Dudy almost beating Mayor Peter Miliobar in the 2011 municipal campaign and Walsh putting in a term on council, walking away after one term to focus on family and business. Walsh found himself under a lot of pressure to jump back into local politics, debating on a run against Milobar and finally opting to vie for a return to the horseshoe table. The other thing all but one of them share is the Kamloops Voters Society, an organization created in 2011 just months ahead of that year’s municipal election. Its purposes include promoting civic engagement and awareness about issues and their implications for the public good, encouraging more
ttransparency and wise use of ttaxpayer dollars, advocating ffor more public participation iin the development and planning processes — all laudable n — and, a final purpose, to act as a non-partisan voice for the a vvoters of Kamloops on public iissues. Perhaps it was this involvement that led to the new names m on that list running for election, which would be a good thing, but the fact they all share an anti-Ajax viewpoint could cast some doubt on the position of the society itself — particularly now that it has Thompson Rivers University instructor Derek Cook as its head, an educator who has held several forums on the Ajax mine, at least one in conjunction with the anti-mine Kamloops Area Preservation Association. Final point of confusion here: Just who is Vision Kamloops? What is it? Is it an organization with members or just a cool title to try and make us all think the five of them have a united vision for Kamloops? Perhaps sometime before the election actually happens, this group might make one firm, strong statement with clear points about why it exists, what it is campaigning for — and against — and whether it would remain a group/coalition/affiliation/some-otherdescription, should all five be elected to council. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

What an inconvenience it must have been! “Seriously — if you don’t want to give change or, if you have none to give, say “sorry” or just go about you way and ignore them. “Nothing says you have to be rude or demeaning!” — posted by Sofa___King DAVE EAGLES/KTW
IN FALL SWING
The leaves have taken on yellow and red hues, falling to the ground on the streets of Kamloops. With the daylight scarce, don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour on Sunday, Nov. 2.
LET’S BE CLEAR ABOUT REASON BEHIND COMPLAINT Re: KTW’s story of Oct. 9 (‘Kamloops woman at centre of human-rights complaint): Editor: My head is still spinning from the dizzying flights of logic undertaken by Reverend Ronald as she vainly attempted to justify Bethany Paquette’s attendance at Trinity Western University, an institution that openly discriminates against gays and her subsequent indignation at being refused a job with a more inclusive employer. Ronald’s arguments brought
me back to Philosophy 101 but, sadly, do not address the crux of the issue at hand. If we wish to end discrimination, we must end all of it without making exceptions for the types of discrimination we like. Ms. Paquette, through her voluntary attendance at TWU, an institution of which the controversial entrance requirements are well-publicized, is associated with discriminatory practices whether she likes it or not. The fact her prospective employer, in turn, discriminated against her, is unfortunate but
not unexpected as the employer would, no doubt, question Ms. Paquette’s suitability to work in a company that might employ gays when she chose an educational institution that blatantly excludes them. In short, the whole situation is unfortunate. Two wrongs do not make a right, but Ms. Paquette must accept some responsibility in this affair despite the idealistic arguments of the good reverend.
God still loves you
Editor: In Olaf Amundsen’s answer to Betthany Paquette’s job application, he announced his hate and non-belief of God. But, in fact, by his response, he does believe in God. Something very dramatic must have happened in his life to cause him to be so hateful. You have my prayers, Olaf, and I’m sure God still loves you.

Filisetti fed up with downtown parking fiasco ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Pierre Filisetti has a list of plans for Kamloops if he’s elected mayor but, first up, he’s taking on the city’s troubled downtown pay-parking kiosks. “The parking meters downtown are not only slow, but they’re hard to read because the display is down so low most people have to kneel down. It’s ridiculous,� said Filisetti, a Kamloops landscaper who is challenging incumbent mayor Peter Milobar in the Nov. 15 election. Filisetti said he wants to examine the city’s contract with supplier Precise Parklink to see if there are ways to force the company to improve the performance of the system, but he thinks there are ways the city itself can improve the machines, such as putting them on blocks to improve screen height. “January 1, that’s the first thing I’m going to do,� he told KTW. “We’re going to raise those meters and try to make them as fast as possible.� A transplant from Italy in the 1980s, Filisetti said he was attracted to Kamloops because of the city’s “tremendous potential.� Beyond the meters, he said his goal if elected is to

an anti-idling bylaw “with some teeth� and potentially a ban on drive-thrus in the Tournament Capital, though he’s not sure if Kamloops is quite ready for the second proposal as of 2014. A planned widening of Columbia Street set for 2015 would get the axe, to make way for transit improvements. “Columbia Street is wide enough and I want to use that money for bus shelters, much more comfortable bus shelters that are maintained 365 days of the year,� Filisetti said. “We want to increase ridership on those busses and one way to do that is to make it a comfortable experience. Right now it’s not.� Filisetti said he wants to see the city diversify its economy away from resourcebased industries — including the proposed Ajax mine, to which he is opposed — with tourism as one sector he wants to grow. He’d also like to see more agricultural production in the city to improve the local food supply, as well as a yearround farmers’ market where producers could sell their goods outside the usual summer and early-fall window. Filisetti said he thinks the Stuart Wood property might be the location for such market, but said he’d want the city to consult with farmers before making a decision.

Dispute ‘glossed over’ key issues
Colleen DeVeryac wants SD73 trustee seat DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
If there was a school with a special focus on athletics — and she was still a young student — Colleen DeVeryac would be enrolling in it. The education consultant and instructor at Thompson Rivers University said she’s passionate about bringing a holistic viewpoint to education, one that not only provides the basic academics but helps foster skills in empathy, decision making and building character and incorporates something as basic as the vital role physical activity plays in maintaining attention and learning. DeVeryac said she’s a Colleen DeVeryac: Teachers’ dispute led her strong believer in chilto seek trustee seat dren and youth having a variety of opportunities to choose from that help them learn, citing as an example the existence of the city’s science and technology elementary school as ideal for those “kids who have a unique propensity in science.� She said she decided to run for school board in Kamloops when she watched the recent teachers’ dispute with the government progress, feeling some of the key issues — class size and composition among them — “were glossed over and not addressed fully.� With a background in working with secondaryschool students facing challenges — at risk youth, those in trouble with the law and others facing issues best addressed in the type of alternate school in Alberta where she taught — DeVeryac said she believes trustees should guide policy development that brings everyone together going for the same thing, viewing the potential in a student and creating the educational environment to help the student discover it. Through her consultancy, she works throughout Canada, Australia and New Zealand teaching teachers strategies to deal with challenging behaviours like attention-deficit hyperactive disorder or oppositional defiance disorder. It’s why DeVeryac doesn’t want to see the basic issues that concern her dropped, because “the outcomes for these kids is critical. Class sizes must remain small,� she said, and there needs to be adequate funding and resources for special-needs students. Kamloops Japanese Canadian Association

SD73 candidate debate Incumbent Kamloops-Thompson board of education trustee Gerald Watson is holding a forum for trustee candidates on Thursday, Nov. 6, at St. Andrews on the Square in downtown Kamloops. Watson, who is seeking his fifth term, first hosted the event in 2005, when teacher job action precluded the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association — which had traditionally held a forum — from doing so. Since then, Watson has organized a forum during each municipal election. The forum, to which all board of education candidates have been
invited, will begin at 7 p.m. Kamloops This Week editor Christopher Foulds will moderate.
KVS survey
The Kamloops Voter Society has released its findings from an online survey aiming to identify the most important issues in the Nov. 15 municipal elections. About 200 people responded to the online questionnaire, which asked questions about campaign finance, downtown parking meters, and other city topics.

Christy Campbell believes it takes a community to raise a child — and that attitude, combined with her other strong belief of giving back to that same community, is why she wants to be a school-board trustee. Cambell said she wants to help the city’s students reach their potential because, “when you have successful kids, you have a successful community.” The mother of two children at Westmount elementary was delighted to see the school, which is not large enough to handle the numbers of students in the constantly-expanding area, will be replaced. “It won’t really help my kids,
Joan Cowden was the kind of teacher who was always involved with her school, her classes, her students. When she wasn’t in teaching mode, she’d be found helping with athletic programs, meeting with parents — “just really involved because I just loved being a teacher.” After 36 years of it, however, she retired and continued her passion by running for school board. Now, she’s campaigning for her third term with the Kamloops-Thompson school district and said her involvement has not died down at all. “I’m still really passionate about public education,” she said, “and I have wealth of knowledge about the education system to offer, a good understanding of the school system and the belief that the kids always come first.” Cowden sees many successes within School District 73 —

She’s in favour of schools of choice, believing they provide options for students who might have a particular skill or interest in science, technology, the trades, French immersion or the arts. Describing herself as a full-time mom and part-time employee — “and I work mom hours so I can tuck my kids in at night” — she was inspired by a camp counsellor to volunteer in her community, as well. That work involves not just the PAC. She volunteers with the ski patrol and Girl Guides — “and I don’t even have a daughter. “I just believe when you have an involved community, you have a more positive community,” she said.

Having spent six years as a member of the parent-advisory council (PAC) at Westmount, she’s gained a good sense of what the Kamloops-Thompson school district faces annually and believes “they’re doing the best with what the have to make school positive.” Campbell said she’s impressed with the completion rates of First Nations students and believes School District 73 does “a good job promoting education in Kamloops,” but also believes the district struggles “because their hands are tied and there’s only so much money.”

Christine Watson is running for school board because she wants to be a part of a team that makes Kamloops thrive. She’s already taken some pro-active steps to improve her community, heading a committee that drew attention the condition of Todd Road in Barnhartvale, her neighbourhood, that saw it rise from 59th position on the city’s capital-works plan projects onto this year’s supplementary budget at city hall. She did it by bringing the community together and then getting the decisionmakers to pay attention to the roadway where children walk every day to and from R.L. Clemitson elementary — including an invitation to walk the road themselves, one many city councillors took up. A member of the parent-advisory council at her children’s school, she also worked with local officials to create a safe-to-school plan. Watson said the size of the KamloopsThompson school district both a plus and a negative. It is positive in the variety of information sources, opinions and other input providers trustees can engage to discuss educational issues but, on the other hand, she sees that size as a communication challenge. One thing she’d like to improve is the relationship between the school district and the City of Kamloops, something she said is obviously broken when the city makes a deal to save the Stuart Wood elementary building, once the school district ends its lease and moves students from there to another building — but doesn’t tell the school board about it. “That’s when I realized we need a stronger relation with the city,” Wason said. “I want to know what we can do to fix this.” She’s also a proponent of schools of choice for the way they empower students in their learning.

ULLY TO GET TASTE OF RUSSIA
Cole Ully (left) shrugged off the original snub, when he was not named to Team WHL’s roster for the Subway Super Series against the Russian selects, but the Kamloops Blazers’ forward will in fact play in the showcase games. The team was named on Oct. 16. Ully was a late inclusion, added to the roster yesterday (Oct. 29). The Super Series gets underway on Nov. 10 when the Dub’s allstar squad plays Game 1 of the six-game series against the Russians in Saskatoon. Ully and Team WHL play Game 2 in Brandon on Nov. 11. Kamloops played Everett yesterday at Interior Savings Centre after KTW’s press deadline. Go online to kamloopsthisweek. com and click on the “Blazers” tab for a game summary.

WolfPack to face NCAA test ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The WolfPack men’s basketball team will have the opportunity to test itself against one of North America’s best this weekend. On Saturday, Nov. 4, TRU will take to the court in Spokane, Wash., to tip off against the Gonzaga University Bulldogs of the NCAA. “The environment will be as exciting as they’ll have ever played in, or maybe ever play in,” WolfPack head coach Scott Clark said. “It’ll be something they’ll remember for a long time and it will be fun.” The WolfPack has a connection to the Division 1 American school through athletic director Ken Olynyk. Olynyk’s son, Kelly,
played his university basketball for Gonzaga before moving on to play for the NBA’s Boston Celtics. It’s not the first time the Bulldogs have played a Canadian club in preseason action. Last year, Gonzaga faced off against the Simon Fraser University Clan of the NCAA’s division 2. Gonzaga won that game 103-68. The Pack will be seen by most as the underdogs of the game, but Clark said his expectations remain the same. “They have more resources,” he said,
referring to the Bulldogs, “but the goal remains the same: To try and play good basketball.” The WolfPack will lean heavily on a core group of veteran players in this Canada West season and the game against Gonzaga is unlikely to be any different. Reese Pribilsky, Josh Wolfram, Brett Rouault, Brett Parker, Gerard Gore and Tallon Milne return to the Pack for 20142015. Gone are a number of key pieces from last year’s run to the playoffs, including Canada West all-star and the Pack’s leading scorer, Ta’Quan Zimmerman. Clark said Pribilsky and Milne improved in the off-season and will factor heavily into any success the team has. See CLARK, page A17

amloops Minor Hockey Association parents and media representatives spend plenty of time compiling team results and sending them to KTW. We spend hours editing the summaries, so we can publish them online and in our Thursday paper. It’s high time we try to streamline the process for both sides. On Tuesday, emails were sent to team representatives who send us results in pdf form and it was suggested they refrain from doing that. We asked them instead to type them into the body of an email. Within 30 minutes, there were three responses, each representative accepting of the advice and willing to make the change. The general feedback was they were following instructions from the KMHA, using a form the association provides to ensure they don’t miss any information. “The form was what KMHA wanted us to use and it was a pain to scan and fill out anyway,” one man said. Let me be clear, we’re not faulting the KMHA for anything. The organization has always been good to us and we understand the idea behind the form — its intended function is to ensure each representative includes all the pertinent information. The problem is the forms are cumbersome for us to deal with and most people are already typing game summaries into the bodies of emails. There are many reasons why pdfs are a hassle, one being they don’t allow us to copy and paste names. That might seem lazy, but there are a couple reasons why it’s a big deal. Yes, it saves time, but it also ensures we’re

not at fault for spelling errors in names. We loathe misspelled names appearing in our paper, but we simply don’t have the time or the means to doublecheck each and every KMHA kid’s name that comes our way. We have to rely on team representatives. Also, it’s often tough to read names that are scribbled onto pdf forms, scanned (and sometimes smudged) and sent our way. We’re also asking people to stop sending faxed copies of the form. Please stick to email. In the emails sent on Tuesday, examples were given of what representatives can do to make life easier at KTW. In our opinion, the style we suggest makes their jobs easier, too. We’re going to post detailed examples of game summaries online, along with explanations of why we like them done a certain way, so there’s no more confusion and we can better our relationship with the KMHA brethren. Also, I know people will ask why their team’s results don’t always make the paper. Generally, we dedicate one page each Thursday to the KMHA. Room is tight. We try and spread the love, but it’s not an easy task and we ask for your patience. Being a media rep is a thankless job, but we appreciate your help. Drop us a line at sports@kamloopsthisweek.com if you have questions.

Angela Rose is no wilting flower. The Kamloops resident claimed gold and silver medals at the Western Canadian Arm Wrestling Championships, held on Oct. 11 at West Edmonton Mall. “I was a country girl and have always been genetically strong and a bit of a tomboy,” said Rose, who moved to the Tournament Capital from Prince George two years ago. “I grew up in Quesnel and, at Billy Barker Days, I always watched the arm-wrestling competition.” Rose was still a teenager when she decided to test her mettle at the family festival in her hometown. “I won against a woman that was built like a guy and I just started doing it all over B.C. I won the Canadians and it progressed from there.” In 1994, Rose reached the pinnacle of her career, winning

gold — in both the right- and left-hand lightweight women’s divisions — at the World Wristwrestling Championships in Petaluma, Calif. “I was quite serious about it, but I took a break from it and got into barrel racing and rodeo,” Rose said. Prior to 2014, it had been 12 years since
Rose last endeavoured to assert her dominance at the table. “I kind of got an itch from watching that series Game of Arms and I thought, ‘Hey, what the hell? It’s good and it’s healthy to have goals. I’m feeling strong. Let’s get into it again.’” Rose, who trains at the Tournament Capital Centre, entered

Josh Wolfram has improved the most, Clark said, and will be a player the team relies on throughout the season. “I feel like, as a team, we’ve all done well with off-season preparation,” Wolfram said, deflecting the individual spotlight. “Everybody came back stronger, better players. I think our team was really committed in the offseason.” The WolfPack is 3-2 thus far in its abbreviated pre-season. The team defeated the Columbia Bible College Bearcats 11864, but lost to the University of Windsor Lancers 91-61. They defeated the University of Western Ontario Mustangs 80-68 and Laurentian University Voyageurs
69-51, but lost to the Trinity Western University Spartans 81-76. “We’ve been a little bit up and down. We’ve had some good stretches and some bad stretches,” starting point guard Reese Pribilsky said. “Now, we’re looking to stretch out those good ones a little more.” This season will be the WolfPack’s first in the Canada West’s newly aligned divisions. The Pack finds itself in the Explorers Division, with opponents MacEwan University of Edmonton, Mount Royal University of Calgary, UBCOkanagan of Kelowna, University of the Fraser Valley of Abbotsford and UNBC of Prince George.
The Pioneers Division includes the Canada West’s powerhouses and has led some to describe the new arrangement as a “tiering.” It’s an evaluation Clark rejects. “Tiered, if somebody wants to say that — you have a way to win your way to the national tournament,” he said. The top three teams from the six-team Explorers Division and the top seven from the 11-team Pioneers division will receive playoff berths. “So, that’s what the objective is and will be the entire season,” Clark said. The Pack will open the regular season at home on Friday, Nov. 7, against the UNBC Timberwolves. Tipoff is 8 p.m.
a competition in June in Summerland — and she won. The victory spurred her on to enter the Western Canadian championships in Edmonton, billed Mayhem in the Mall 2014, where she was forced to move up into the open division, missing the lightweight cutoff by four pounds.
“I was going against girls who were 70 pounds heavier,” Rose said. “It helps to have more weight, but size definitely isn’t everything. You can get a small, wiry woman and then someone that’s built like a 200-pounder.” Rose outmuscled the opposition, placing first in the left-hand open women’s division and second in the righthand competition. The licenced practical nurse would like to see an arm-wrestling club form in the River City. “A lot of people don’t know it’s out there,” Rose said. “It’s a male-dominated sport, but the women that do enter — they are definitely strong.” There isn’t any money in women’s arm wrestling in the Great White North, but Rose might head down south to compete in the Ultimate Armwrestling League. “They have big money for first-place
prizes in the U.S.,” Rose said. “It’s top-calibre arm wrestling.” Next up for the resurgent puller is a return to the Canadian championships, which

will be held in May in Vancouver. “Mentally, you have to tell yourself you’re going to do well,” Rose said. “I feel pretty confident.”

Game 7s conjure memories of World Series jubilation, heartbreak JOSH DUBOW
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In Kansas City, Game 7 of the World Series conjures up memories of Bret Saberhagen’s brilliance, a St. Louis meltdown and the only Royals championship in 1985. The flashbacks in San Francisco aren’t nearly as sweet. There
was Willie McCovey’s game-ending lineout that was oh-so-close to being a Series-winning hit in 1962 and another loss 40 years later by Barry Bonds & Co. to the Angels. Be it Babe Ruth, Jack Morris or Mariano Rivera, the moments created in an all-ornothing game resonate through baseball history.

Who knew what was on deck yesterday (Oct. 29) night when the Giants visited the Royals in the 37th winnertake-all game in Series history? The results of the game were unavailable by KTW’s press time. “A Game 7 in the World Series is a gift for everyone,� Giants outfielder Hunter Pence said. “It’s pretty special. It’s like incredibly entertaining for fans, incredibly entertaining for the world and the game of baseball.� It can also be heartbreaking. Just ask McCovey. He came up with runners on second and third and two outs in the bottom of the ninth with the Giants trailing Ralph Terry and the Yankees 1-0 in 1962. McCovey hit a screaming liner that went right to second baseman Bobby Richardson to give the Yankees the Series. Had the ball been a foot or two in either direction, San Francisco would have won it all. “I think about the line drive, yes,� McCovey said during the 2012 Series. “Can’t get away from it.� That dramatic ending came two years after Terry lost Game 7 on a game-ending homer by Pittsburgh’s Bill Mazeroski.
“I was looking at this as a chance to redeem myself,� Terry said. “Otherwise, I might have been remembered as one of the great losers of all time.� San Francisco’s other Game 7 of the World Series was much more anticlimactic. The Giants had a 5-0 lead in Game 6 that year against the Angels, just eight outs away from a title. But Anaheim scored three in the seventh and three in the eighth to win it. John Lackey then shut down Bonds and the Giants in a 4-1 victory in Game 7. The Royals’ only Game 7 followed a similar pattern, but with a much happier result for them. Kansas City rallied to win Game 6 against St. Louis with two runs in the bottom of the ninth with help from a missed call at first base by umpire Don Denkinger. The Cardinals never recovered and lost 11-0 in Game 7 behind a five-

hitter by Saberhagen. A look at some of the other memorable seventh games of the World Series:
OH, BABE!
The strangest ending might have been in 1926. Babe Ruth drew a two-out walk in the ninth off fellow future Hall of Famer Grover Cleveland Alexander with the Yankees trailing the Cardinals 3-2. With Bob Meusel at the plate, Ruth broke for second, but the great slugger was thrown out by Bob O’Farrell. It’s the only time the final out in a Series came from someone caught stealing.
HE WHO HESITATES
The long World Series drought for the Red Sox would have been much shorter than 86 years if not for three Game 7 losses along the way. The first of those came in 1946 against the Cardinals when the game was tied at 3 in the bottom of the eighth.
Enos Slaughter was on first with two outs when Harry Walker hit a line drive to centre. Leon Culberson threw the ball to shortstop Johnny Pesky, who hesitated for a second as Slaughter dashed home with the deciding run.
Minnesota. The Twins forced the seventh game on Kirby Puckett’s game-ending homer in the 11th inning of Game 6 and the tension didn’t let up one bit the next night. John Smoltz and Jack Morris were locked in a classic duel as the game was scoreless despite each team loading the bases with one out in the eighth. Smoltz left in the eighth but Morris kept going through the 10th and ended up the winner when Gene Larkin hit a bases-loaded single with one out in the bottom half.
SLIPPING AWAY
DESERT DRAMA
The Tigers won a laugher in Game 6 to force a seventh game against St. Louis in 1968, but had to get through October ace Bob Gibson to win it all. Gold Glove centre fielder Curt Flood slipped chasing a fly ball in the seventh and the two-out misplay broke a scoreless tie. A fivehitter by Mickey Lolich on two days’ rest did the rest in the Tigers’ 4-1 win.
A MORRIS MASTERPIECE
The 1991 Series was tense all the way through with three extra-inning games and five one-run contests between Atlanta and
Just like this year’s Series, a Game 6 rout by the home team forced a decisive seventh game and it turned into a classic as the Yankees tried to beat Arizona for a fourth straight title in 2001. Roger Clemens, Mariano Rivera, Curt Schilling and Randy Johnson all took the mound that night in the desert. Rivera had a 2-1 lead going into the ninth but got in trouble after his throwing error on a bunt attempt. Tony Womack tied the game with a double. That set the stage for Luis Gonzalez’s broken-bat RBI single over a drawnin infield that ended the Yankees’ dynasty.
Howe showing signs of improvement after stroke STEPHEN WHYNO
THE CANADIAN PRESS
Gordie Howe has a long way to go to recover from a stroke he suffered over the weekend, his son said yesterday (Oct. 29) amid an outpouring of support from the hockey community. “Mr. Hockey� has shown some signs of improvement from what son Mark called a “pretty significant stroke� and is resting at his daughter Cathy’s home in Lubbock, Tex. “It’s a difficult time for Dad,� Mark said in a phone interview from Lubbock. “It definitely impacted his life, so we’re dealing with this, I think, as all families do and just trying to be there. The best thing we can do is just be here and be supportive and try to keep him in good spirits.� Sons Mark, Marty and Murray travelled from their respective homes in New Jersey, Connecticut and Ohio, to be with their father, who has been
in declining health for the past year. Gordie Howe is 86 and also suffers from a form of dementia. In a statement thanking family, friends and fans for their support, the Howe family said “Dad’s spirits are good and his competitive attitude remains strong.� Howe played 26 NHL seasons and set league marks with 801 goals and 1,850 points — mostly with the Detroit Red Wings — that held up until Wayne Gretzky surpassed him in the record books. Mark Howe said family members have been spending time with Gordie and showing him family photos and videos. The plan is for him to remain in Texas, where Cathy or someone else from the family can be with him at all times. Howe said his father would require “a lot of work in order to be able to recover.� For now, the family is just enjoying spending time with him.

On the day God took you, we thought we would die With people all around us, we felt alone inside As our hearts ache for you, the feeling is so weird You’re not supposed to be in heaven, you’re supposed to be right here This month came back with great regret Its brings a day from two years ago that we’ll never forget You fell asleep without a goodbye But your memories will never die We miss you more than anyone knows As each day passes, our emptiness grows The tears we shed will wipe away But the ache in our hearts will always stay So many dreams of the colour of your hair Along with the thoughts of the outfits you’d wear So many hopes for the colour of your eyes And rocking you to sleep under the beautiful sky Baby books and blankets, pacifiers too, And now we’re left of just the thought Of how much we miss you No one knows the grief we bear When our family meets, and you’re not there You left so suddenly, your thoughts unknown But you left us memories we’re proud to own A single teardrop among the millions we’ve cried Our life, never the same, ever since you died We wish you’d stayed longer with us, together as three So we could watch you grow and be all that you could be The fact that you’re no longer here Will always cause us pain But you’re forever in our hearts Until we meet again
Love always and forever, Mommy and Daddy.
DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die! Mary Frye (1932)

Horizon North Logistics Inc. president and CEO Bob German joins Tk’emlups Indian Band Coun. Colleen Mosterd-McLean in officially breaking ground on the opening of the company’s new head offices in Kamloops on Friday, Oct. 24. Preparation work is underway for expanded office space at the Mount Paul Industrial Park site. Construction will consolidate administrative and head-office functions, moving most of them from the firm’s second location on Sugarloaf Road in Aberdeen. Dimas Carvalho, who heads site work and field services for the manufacturing firm, said a contractor has started work on the 25,000-square-foot building, estimated at about $5 million. It will be located on a former rugby field. “It’s a big project for this community,” he said. “We’re pretty crowded up there. Things are growing and we need more room.” The administration building comes on the heels of a double-storey office building at the former KXA site completed a year ago. The Calgary-based firm’s local operation builds accommodation and other living space for the remote oil, gas and mining industries. DAVE EAGLES/KTW
Low oil prices could cut GDP growth Bank of Canada says it could happen in 2015 ANDY BLATCHFORD
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz estimates that if low oil prices linger they would cut the growth of Canada’s gross domestic product by a quarter-point in 2015. The central banker shared the projection Wednesday with the Senate banking committee before he added that such a reduction would be serious enough to give him pause. The first question he fielded, from Alberta Sen. Doug Black, was about the effect of the tumbling price of crude on Canada’s economy. “We would estimate that at this stage that effect, net, on Canada would be to take perhaps a quarter point off Canada’s GDP growth for 2015 — which is sufficient for me to think about
it and be concerned about it,’’ Poloz replied during an appearance that followed last week’s release of the latest monetary policy report and interest-rate announcement. Poloz underlined the significance of a quarter-point drop because the bank is only predicting moderate growth in the twoto 2.5-per-cent range. Canada, he added, needs more than twoper-cent growth to help close the output gap and create jobs. “A quarter point matters quite a lot in that context,’’ Poloz said, noting the bank reached that estimate based on the assumption prices would stay relatively low. His testimony came a day after Canada’s junior finance minister said the government was carefully monitoring how public finances could be affected by falling oil prices as it prepares to release its
fall fiscal update. The government is expected to table the update soon, but no date has been announced. Kevin Sorenson insisted even as energy prices erode tax revenues, the government still believes it can deliver on its promise to balance next year’s budget and introduce tax cuts. Earlier this week, the price of oil dipped below US$80 per barrel after a Goldman Sachs report projected crude would fall to US$75 in 2015 with expanding shale production and supplies exceeding demand. As he put the question to Poloz, Sen. Black noted how the price of per-barrel oil had already fallen about 25 per cent since the start of the year. In his response, Poloz said the slide is the result of lower global demand combined with a growing
supply, particularly from the shale formations in the United States. Later in the hearing, Poloz said the bank used a price of $85 per barrel to produce the estimate of a quarterpoint loss in GDP growth. “At this point we, of course, really don’t know whether this price will be sustained,’’ Poloz said. Poloz, who appeared Wednesday alongside deputy governor Carolyn Wilkins, was set to testify at the committee last week. The hearing, however, was postponed following the deadly Parliament Hill shooting. He also had a scheduled appearance before the House of Commons’ finance committee, which was cancelled after the attack. Last week, the bank’s monetary policy
report said low borrowing rates have been a contributor to “renewed vigour’’ in consumer spending and the real estate market since July. The bank maintained its trend-setting interest rate at one per cent. The report also stressed the need for Canadian economic activity to begin shifting from the shoulders of households to business investment and exports. Poloz said Wednesday that Canadian companies have begun to make small investments in their operations, but they have yet to increase capacity as they wait for the export opportunities to improve. The weak Canadian dollar, along with strong U.S. demand, are giving exporters ideal conditions to boost their sales, he added.
Ex-Scouts volunteer sentenced for sexually assaulting four boys THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — A former Scouts Canada volunteer in Ottawa who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting four boys has been sentenced to five years in prison. Scott Stanley, 31, admitted to luring, then molesting and physically abusing the teens starting in the summer of 2012. He was kicked out of the Scouts a few months before his arrest in July 2013, after being repeatedly warned about inappropriate conduct. The sentence handed down Wednesday will see him spend three years and 281 days in prison, due to credit for time served. Justice Heather Perkins-McVey cited a doctor's report saying Stanley did not suffer from pedophilia, and was considered a low to moderate risk to reoffend. But the sexual acts being performed with victims too young to legally provide consent was cited as an aggravating factor. “It is not an offence to be homosexual, but you engaged in sexual activities with children,” Perkins-McVey said, adding Stanley used his position to foster relationships with the boys. Stanley's defence had sought a sentence of three years less time served, while the Crown wanted six to eight years in prison. When he is released from prison, Stanley will have to abide by strict conditions, including not having contact with anyone under the age of 16. His name is also on the national sex offender registry for life.

New railway rules in wake of report on Lac Megantic BRUCE CHEADLE
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The latest set of rail-safety measures announced in the wake of the deadly Lac Megantic derailment of 2013 do not come with any additional financial resources for the federal regulator, Transport Canada. Transport Minister Lisa Raitt said her department has the resources to ensure rail safety — notwithstanding an auditor general’s report that points to critical training deficiencies and staff shortages. The specific measures released Wednesday follow the final report from the Transportation Safety Board’s investigation into the fiery crash that claimed 47 lives in July 2013, the result of an unattended train loaded with crude oil careening downhill into the centre of Lac-Megantic, Que. New safety protocols include tougher handbrake requirements for parked trains, more research on volatile crude-oil properties and a requirement that short-line rail companies, such as the one involved in the Lac-Megantic crash, submit training plans for review. The department is also seeking 10 new safety auditors across Canada — “an incredible increase’’ according to Raitt. Raitt, speaking in the Commons foyer, told reporters the government wants “to better protect Canadians and their communities, but we have to maintain that transportation network that we actually need in order to move goods around our country and support our economy.’’ The measures come as oil-by-rail shipments are increasing exponentially. The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers estimates the rail industry will move 700,000 barrels of Western Canadian oil a day by 2016, up from just 500 carloads — less than 300,000 barrels — in all of 2009. In 2009, Transport Canada estimated it needed 20 systems auditors to properly audit rail safety under a program of industry self-regulation introduced in the 1990s by the Liberals. Last November, the auditor general found the department had just 10 — and reported that there was no methodology or workload assessments to show that even 20 auditors would be enough. Auditor general Michael Ferguson’s report found that only 14 safety audits of Canada’s 31 federally regulated railways had been completed in the previous three years — just a quarter of the audits Transport Canada had expected to carry out. Raitt said the 10 new safety auditors will be enough to fulfil the department’s mandate. “Realistically, there’s only 23 or 22 short-line rail companies in Canada that we have to be keeping track of,’’ she said. “Remember, this is the audit of the Safety Management System. This isn’t about going out and walking along the track, or inspecting the facilities.’’ The safety-management system, or SMS, is a system of industry self-regulation in which the government audits reports submitted by rail companies.

The lawsuit filed by radio host Jian Ghomeshi against the CBC is unlikely to ever land in a courtroom, employment lawyers OWNTOWN IS say. Toronto attorney Bill Gale said barely one per cent of civil suits go before a judge, with the vast majority of cases settled out of court. Gale expects Ghomeshi’s case to follow a similar path, particularly since court proceedings would unlock secrets both parties would probably prefer to keep from the public’s view. “I would think they would settle because I’m sure there are lots of unsavoury details about both sides that are going to come out if there’s an actual hearing,’’ said Gale, a partner at Grosman, Grosman & Gale.
“It’s too important to both CBC and him to keep this quiet. They’ll settle at some point and we’ll never know.’’ He described Ghomeshi’s attempt to seek $55 million in damages as “ridiculous,’’ saying Canadian case law differs from that in the U.S. where awards can reach milJIAN GHOMESHI: This week filed a $55M lions of dollars. lawsuit against CBC “A huge Canadian judgment for punitive damages, for example, would be $1 million,’’ he said. “That would be astronomical.’’ Ghomeshi has said he was fired because of his sexual behaviour and has written on social media that he engaged in adventurous forms of sex that included role-play, dominance and submission, along with “rough sex (forms of BDSM).’’ The activities were consensual and he and his partner used safe words to signal when to stop the activity, he said. The Toronto Star reported that it approached Ghomeshi with allegations from three women who say he was physically violent to them without their consent during sexual encounters or in the leadup to the encounters.

KUWAIT CITY — Canadian warplanes have taken up position in Kuwait, a country straining to hold back the tide of Islamic extremism from its borders. The CF-18 jetfighters and CP-140 Aurora surveillance planes are expected to join a U.S.-led coaltion’s bombing campaign against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) within days. The country’s top military commander, General Tom Lawson, publicly laid out the timeline for launching strikes a few weeks ago. But outside the tightly buttoned down airfields, there is angst about what is shaping up to be the third war in the region in two decades. With Islamic State fighters on the outskirts of Baghdad, about 600 kilometres away, much of the debate in the tiny country is about how much of a security threat is posed by the extremist movement, and also whether it is a long-term political danger. George Irani, an internationalstudies professor at the American University of Kuwait, says ISIL doesn’t have the military strength to conquer all of Iraq, let alone threaten Kuwait. Even still, just days ago Kuwaiti security forces broke up a suspected ISIL cell in the country. — The Canadian Press
Attack not terrorism: Mulcair
OTTAWA — NDP Leader Tom Mulcair says the shooter in last week’s deadly attack in Ottawa was not a terrorist — a criminal yes, but not a terrorist. Mulcair’s comments at the end of an emotional party caucus meeting were met with immediate condemnation from Conservatives and the leader of the Liberal party. Mulcair said it’s clear that Michael Zehaf Bibeau had mental issues and his actions in killing a soldier at the National War Memorial and firing on security on Parliament Hill were reprehensible. But, Mulcair said, the latest information about Zehaf Bibeau indicates

Canoe getaway fails for crook
D
HALIFAX — Halifax police say a man attempted an ocean getaway Wednesday afternoon after allegedly breaking into a home and using a canoe to flee the scene. A spokeswoman for the police said it’s rare for pursuits to occur in the cool waters of the Northwest Arm, especially with the suspect paddling away in an effort to evade arrest. Theresa Rath said officers sought the assistance of boat owners and were about to launch a chase after the man, but he paddled ashore to a nearby park, where officers and a police dog were waiting and arrested him. Rath said the red canoe and other items taken in the break-and-enter have been recovered. — The Canadian Press

he should not be defined as a terrorist. Conservative MPs, leaving their own caucus meeting one week after the shootings, said it’s clear the shooter committed a terrorist act. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau agreed, saying he stands by the commissioner of the RCMP’s assertion that Zehaf Bibeau fits the definition of a terrorist. MPs were reflective on the events of a week ago as they attended the regularly scheduled party meetings with some saying they were having a difficult time recalling the mayhem. The NDP brought a counsellor into the party’s caucus room, just in case anyone wanted to talk about the trauma they experienced. Minutes before entering Parliament on Oct. 22, Zehaf Bibeau shot and killed Cpl. Nathan Cirillo at the National War Memorial. A funeral was held for the 24-yearold Hamilton native on Tuesday. — The Canadian Press

f apples are the apple of your eye, you need to visit Davison Orchards. The Davison family has been working and living on the farm since 1933. The orchard, which was originally planted with Macintosh trees, now offers a large variety of apples including: Transparent, Summer Red, Sunrise, Jersey Mac, Akane, Silken,
Ginger Gold, McIntosh, Davison Gala, Royal Gala, Arlet, Spartan, Honey Crisp, Golden Delicious, Ambrosia, Empire, Aurora, Jonagold, Mutsu, Ida Red and Granny Smith. Unless you are an apple connoisseur, you have probably never heard of most of these. But, that’s not a problem since they offer free samples. They also make fresh apple pies on site, as well as freshly squeezed apple juice

and apple cider. The Davison’s don’t believe in waste and that’s why they send the pulp to a local cattle farmer for feed. The gift store has something for everyone including home décor items, fudge for that sweet tooth and a miniature train circling
a track along the ceiling to keep the kids entertained. When your tummy starts to rumble, visit Auntie May’s Deep Dish Café, which is open daily serving up homemade soup, sandwiches, chilli and hot dogs. As for dessert — you
guessed it — fresh apple pie. The orchard is a haven for kids who love the Crazy Cow Kids Corral. For a small admission fee — free for adults — kids can enjoy the tree house, John Deer trikes, corn barn, maze, straw jump, ball drop, giant sandbox, duck races, corn tee pee, farm jail and milking Bessie. There is sign at the entrance warning parents, “Kids left unattended will be given
espresso and promised a bunny.” Kids can also check out the critter coral, where they can see a real life carrot inspector bunny, pet a donkey, put some feed in a can and watch the goats pull the can to the top of the goat bridge before checking up on Isaac and Jacob the sheep to see if they are being baaaaaad. In May and June, come by for a true farm experience. Children have the chance to plant their
choice of a sunflower or bean seed, which they can take home, care for and grow. October is when the farm celebrates fall with their special pumpkin picking tour. Board the Johnny Popper train and head out into the pumpkin patch to select your very own pumpkin, straight from the field. Come on out and meet your perfect apple, pick the perfect pumpkin or just enjoy a perfect day at the Davison’s farm.

“
We really wanted to peel the onion and, as we got into it and saw all the connections, we were attracted and repulsed.
”
DOCUMENTARY FEATURES CANADIAN POT ACTIVIST MARC EMERY, ASKS, ‘SHOULD THIS FELLOW GO TO JAIL?’ DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
W
atching Citizen Marc is a lot like reliving part of my life. The fight against a business tax, followed by one against the Sundayshopping prohibition, followed by one against pretty much anything government did — and, ultimately, Marc Emery’s extradition to a prison in the U.S. for selling cannabis seeds. If you lived in my hometown of London, Ont., during the 1980s, you couldn’t help but know Emery and you definitely would have had an opinion on him.
I found myself expressing some of them while watching the documentary, going from several, “Shut up, Marc” requests to, “That was a good cause to fight” observations. That’s one of the reasons Roger Evan Larry and his wife and film-making partner, Sandra Tomc, were drawn to Emery’s story — they were looking for a subject they could figuratively live with for five or six years, delving into everything that makes the character tick and not lose interest. “We asked ourselves, ‘Who is this maniacal presence with a surfeit of self-love?’ Someone who is clearly practising civil disobedience and who inspires admiration and revulsion,” Larry said. “We knew this won’t get boring. We really
wanted to peel the onion and, as we got into it deeper and saw all the connections, we were attracted and repulsed.” One of the dynamics that had to be addressed, Larry said, is the simple reality it often takes a large ego to pick up an activist cause “and Marc was ready to go up against the United States and think he had a shot at beating it.” Emery and his wife have criticized the documentary that will be shown tonight (Oct. 30) at the Paramount Theatre as part of a cross-Canada tour premiering Citizen Marc in 13 cities. In essence, the documentary asks the question “Should we care about this fellow going to jail?” Larry said, a discussion that saw the two filmmakers at opposite sides of the search for the answer. “What you’re seeing [in the documentary] is the fruit of five years of marital argument, where we kept switching sides,” Larry said.

“We’ve been loading tankers safely here for sixty years.” - Bikram Kanjilal, Master Mariner, Consultant Marine Development
Trans Mountain has been operating at Westridge Terminal for six decades without a single spill from tanker operations, due in part to the stringent precautions we put in place. Close collaboration between Pilotage Authorities, Transport Canada, the Canadian Coast Guard and Port Metro Vancouver ensures vessels navigate our waters safely, guided by highly qualified local pilots.
U U U U U U U U U
Tankers are held to strict, internationally accepted construction and operating standards. Any vessel proposing to visit Westridge must go through pre-screening and physical inspection. Only double hulled tankers of modern design are accepted. The Canadian Coast Guard monitors every vessel’s passage. All employees are trained in operations, safety and emergency response procedures. All vessels have a boom enclosure throughout loading operations. Two local pilots are on board loaded tankers during every movement. Tug escorts are required to accompany all laden tankers. Dedicated local marine-based spill response organization, WCMRC, ensures quick action in the event of a spill. U Marine spill response will be enhanced.

It tells of a teenaged Emery who, finding school boring, quits and buys a bookstore for sale in downtown London, where he fights against taxes and censorship, bringing in the then-banned 2 Live Crew album As Nasty As They Wanna Be and selling it at the store. It was the only album for sale. The documentary pays attention

to the influence Ayn Rand had on Emery, although Larry said Emery took that inspiration and has achieved some social good, something Larry said he doesn’t feel Rand ever accomplished herself. While Larry said Emery is the ultimate 1960s revolutionary, he and his wife acknowledged Emery’s politics are definitely right of centre. “When he created the B.C. Marijuana Party, it’s filled with Tea Party staples,” Larry said. The documentary begins with a quote from philosopher Henry David Thoreau — “Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison.” Ultimately, Larry said, that’s the message in Citizen Marc. The screening tonight is at 7 p.m., and will be followed by a question and answer session with Larry.

“At first, I was more sympathetic and she, not so much, but one of the biggest changes came when we interviewed Noam Chomsky,” Larry said. Chomsky, an American philosopher and activist, explained the reason for Emery’s incarceration — selling marijuana seeds — belied a larger societal reality in the U.S. “Chomsky argued effectively the drug war, and marijuana possession in particular, was being used as a way to exploit men of colour in the U.S. who, after factories started to shut down in the 1970s, were ignored. “Before, they were working at GM and now, they are finding themselves in what Chomsky calls the industrial-prison complex,” Larry said. “That became the answer on what to do with all these unemployed men, the three strikes and you’re out that [former president

Kamloops author hopes to inspire youth with novel JESSICA WALLACE

wo years ago, Mary Hayward was close to publishing her second book when she was diagnosed with a brain tumour. The 57-year-old Kamloops author is recovering now — after multiple surgeries, radiation, chemotherapy, infections and shingles, all part of her “never-ending story,” as she calls it — and what she has learned from it all is encompassed in the theme of that book, since published. Laughing Dragons, a fantasy novel Hayward wrote and self-published for teens, comes
MARY HAYWARD: Kamloops author.
with a serious message — don’t give in to fears. “Being sick and basically close to death, I think it made me even stronger in thinking life is too short to not do what you need to do or want to do,” she said. “If you want to do something, find a way to do it.” “You just never know what’s around the corner.”
The story is centred around a foster boy who wakes up one day, looks in the mirror and has no reflection. The plot is about his struggle to find himself and is rooted in fantasy and Chinese mythology. It differs from Hayward’s first book, Andy and the Jam Jar Genie, published almost a decade ago. Hayward said she wrote that book, intended for pre-teens, for the fun of writing, while she wrote Laughing Dragons to convey a message. While her neardeath experience rings true to the message of the story, her years of working as a youth mentor for Interior Community Services also found its way
into the book. Hayward said external influences make it tough for youngsters to follow their own paths. “So many kids nowadays are bombarded with opinions that really don’t have anything to do with their life,” she said, noting negativities on social media. “If they don’t think within themselves, ‘I’m my own person. I can do my own thing,’ they’re going to be susceptible to that.” “They need to have that inner strength. “I’m hoping that the book will give them a bit of hope.” Hayward will be at Chapters Bookstore, 1395 Hillside Dr., at 1 p.m. on Nov. 15, to discuss her book with the public.

Jaguar XKR still an exciting ride Despite old generation, XK is still turning heads LORNE DRURY
METROLAND MEDIA
A
s Neil Sedaka sang decades ago, “Breaking up is hard to do.” Today, I’d like to change those lyrics to, “Saying goodbye is hard to do.” That’s how I was feeling as I handed in the keys to what I considered an old friend— a sleek and sexy 2015 Jaguar XKR Coupe that I’d driven for a week for review purposes. I’ve driven the XKR a number of times over the years and it’s always been one of my favourite rides. This time, handing off the keys was doubly difficult, not just because my week with the car was over. It’s also because Jaguar is discontinuing the XK line after this model year following the introduction of the successful F-Type Convertible and Coupe within the past couple of years. I was thinking back to a couple of other reviews I had written on this generation of the XK over the years. I remember in 2010 writing that it never ceases to amaze me how many heads turn when a Jaguar rolls by. While this particular XK design is getting a bit long
in the tooth, turning heads is still something it does with regularity when this sleek cat is on the prowl, not unlike most other Jaguar models. There’s just something about the styling of the brand, particularly since Ian Callum became design chief. In fact, this generation of the XK was the first Jaguar vehicle designed under Callum’s watch. I also think back to when I got involved in this side of the automotive business nearly two decades ago. A Jaguar XJ was the first vehicle I reviewed and I remember the feeling I had when I first sat behind the wheel. Now, even after testdriving hundreds of cars over the years, I still find it a thrill to drive a Jaguar. For this final run of the XK, Canada gets exclusively Jaguar XKR and XKR-S models in both Convertible and Coupe formats. Our tester was a Status Grey XKR Coupe, which continues in 2015 with the 510 hp 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine mated with a six-speed automatic transmission. According to Jaguar it can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds and reach a top track speed of 280 km/h with the optional Dynamic Pack that includes a number of performance and suspension
Jaguar’s XK line is in its final model year for 2015, offering both coupe and convertible variants of the XKR and XKR-S models.
upgrades. For the XKR, the Dynamic Pack bolsters performance with special suspension tuning and Adaptive Dynamics that operates in tandem with Active Differential Control (ADC) to optimize available traction at each rear wheel, improving acceleration on low-grip surfaces while enhancing cornering ability. The system is designed to monitor body movement 100 times per second and wheel position 500 times per second and automatically increases the suspension damping rate as suspension approaches the limits of its travel.
It’s all about optimizing handling agility and ride comfort. There are different driving modes that can be selected such as Normal, Winter, Trac DSC and DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) Off. The package also includes 20-inch alloy wheels and a number of ‘black’ features like black brake calipers, a gloss black finish to the upper and lower mesh grilles. The high-performance XKR-S, meanwhile, gets 550 hp 5.0-litre V8. Both also have undergone chassis upgrades for this model year.
The XKR is interesting in that it is a blend of old and new — traditional, classic Jaguar design combined with modern lightweight, yet highly rigid aluminum construction. The touches of luxury and the classic design of the XKR are important, but it’s what’s under the hood that sets hearts a flutter. You just have to tromp the throttle to see what I’m talking about. Yet the XKR is more than a one-trick pony (or cat) for that matter. On all but the roughest of tracks, the XKR is comfortable and fairly quiet. The low-profile tires don’t always help the ride qual-
ity, but they do make this one agile and slick-handling kitty cat. Jaguar has called the XK a “sophisticated grand tourer with the heart of sports car” and that description hasn’t changed over the years. This is simply a spectacular car for long drives on country roads or even on high-speed expressways for that matter. There is power to spare when you need to overtake slower vehicles or merge into high-speed traffic. Yet at speed, the XKR is docile and surprisingly, not as much of a gas-guzzler as one might expect.

The Girls of Courage didn’t start off as a charitable venture. It started when nine-year-old Aliya Clark broke her leg. The Kamloops girl was just two at the time and had put both of her legs into a single pant leg before falling down the stairs. Aliya was afraid of doctors, so mom Heather consoled and encouraged her by making up an imaginary superhero’s club. It helped and caught on in the family. If someone was in need, the Girls of Courage — including sister Shekinah, 11, — came to the rescue. “We would do little things,” Heather said. “Like, ‘Let’s go Aliya, and fly over the city.’” “We always just ended up being the Girls of Courage.” The moniker stuck and the story warped. When the girls expressed interest in helping others, Heather saw an opportunity to educate them beyond their classrooms at Juniper Ridge elementary about those who are less fortunate. “It makes them better people,” Heather said. “As human beings, we have a responsibility to others and not just ourselves.” She linked up with a family friend involved in a Christian missionary group called XP Missions and they

began raising real money for needy kids in Cambodia under their former fake club’s name. “If kids can get an education, they have a better chance of getting a job and getting out of the slums,” Shekinah said. They tried selling homemade artwork, cards, calendars and, eventually, bracelets while on the road with their volunteer dance company, which also raises money for the less fortunate. “Nothing’s taken off like the bracelets,” Heather said. The handmade jewelry comes in all designs and colours. “Sometimes we just braid it,” Aliya said, looking down at the orange and green bracelet on her own wrist. “We add beads, sometimes.” The bracelets are $5 each and have helped the Clarks raise about $3,700 since mid-summer, enough for five kids to be educated for one year in Cambodia, along with school supplies, food and uniforms, they say. They’re excited for what comes next, now that the idea has caught on in other places and they’re starting to receive mail from those who also want to help. “Our goal is to get an entire slum out,” Aliya said. For more information about the Girls of Courage or to purchase a bracelet, go online to onewordtours.com and click on Girls of Courage.
