Changes to Out of the Cold ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Out of the Cold program will be up and running on Nov. 5, but will no longer be the go-to shelter when the mercury drops below –7 C. Out of the Cold is a staple during Kamloops winters. Housed in the basement of St. Paul’s Cathedral, it provides hot meals, toiletries, donated clothing and warm beds to the city’s homeless.

But, unlike in the past, this winter Out of the Cold will not be funded

by B.C. Housing as an extremeweather shelter. The provincial organization has instead decided to provide monetary support to Emerald Centre in those situations.

It’s a decision that has some in the city wondering if there will be enough warm beds available when winter truly hits.

“Last year, they didn’t,” said Bud Forbes, chairman of Out of the Cold’s board, who was asked if Emerald Centre had enough space to house all the city’s homeless in extreme situations.

“Last year, there was a couple of nights where they were full, we were full and ASK Wellness opened,

I think, three or four beds at Henry Leland House.

“It certainly does [concern me], but there’s nothing we can do about that.”

Duane Seibel, executive director of Emerald Centre’s operator, the Canadian Mental Health Association, said there’s still a chance the Out of the Cold program will factor into housing the city’s homeless when the temperature reaches dangerous levels.

B.C. Housing has asked the centre to open an additional 10 beds when the temperature drops below –7 C. When those beds are full, the CMHA is hoping to have relationships in place to handle overflow.

“We’re working on a secondary plan, should we exceed the 10 individuals and have a greater need,” Seibel said.

“We’ve been reaching out to St. Paul’s and we may work with other community members, but we’re trying to have a secondary plan in place.

“St. Paul’s may still have a place in this when numbers warrant the need for additional beds within the community.”

The CMHA is meeting with the

board of Out of the Cold next week to discuss possibilities.

Seibel said he’s hoping this new setup will ensure all of the beds at Emerald Centre are used on extreme-weather nights.

He said that wasn’t always the case last year and it’s important the beds at the centre, which are paid for year-round use, are fully utilized.

Regardless of what happens, Out of the Cold is focusing on being ready for its first night.

Forbes said the program needs about $14,000 to operate this winter — it costs $672 a night.

Right now, the board has $3,000 at its disposal.

“I’m not worried yet but, when we get close to the end of the $3,000 and we still don’t have any more money coming in, I’ll start getting a little more worried,” Forbes said, The shelter opens at 7 p.m. on Nov. 5. It will be open every Wednesday until the end of March.

St. Paul’s Cathedral can house up to 25 people, though averages between eight and 14 overnight stays according to Forbes.

Anyone interested in donating to Out of the Cold, or learning more about how they can help, can contact Forbes at (250) 573-3430.

The driver of a pickup that rounded a corner beside McArthur Island at twice the legal limit, losing control and killing the two passengers he was taking home cannot avoid jail, lawyers have agreed.

A B.C. Supreme Court justice will determine today (Oct. 31) just how long Wayne Fedan will spend in jail.

Fedan, 53, was charged after a singlevehicle wreck in North Kamloops in the early-morning hours of March 20, 2010, that killed 20-year-old Brittany Plotnikoff and 38-year-old Kenneth Craigdaillie. All three were at a party together. Fedan was driving them home.

He was found guilty of dangerous driving causing death and not guilty of impaired driving causing death.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Deborah Kloegman ruled last month, however, Fedan had been drinking that night.

That finding came despite the fact his blood-alcohol level, improperly taken by police, could not be used against him.

“Sorry, You Have No Claim” If you’ve ever been injured in an accident, you may have been told that you have no claim or be persuaded to take less compensation for your injuries. After 20+ years of representing people injured in motor vehicle accidents, I’m still shocked that the general public is not aware that ICBC represents the driver who CAUSED the accident, not you, the innocent injured victim. It would be helpful if ICBC explained this when you met with them.

The intersection of Third Avenue and Lansdowne Street is a busy one.

BUT WE CAN HELP YOU. IT’S WHAT OUR TEAM DOES.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Pedestrians call for changes at intersection ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

C

armen Babic was a few steps into the crosswalk at the corner of Lansdowne Street and Third Avenue when she saw a flash out of the corner of her eye.

“The front end of the car went into my back, all 3,200 pounds,” she said. “I went up into the air and onto the hood, into the window.”

The driver slammed on the brakes, launching Babic into the air and into the road. She spent the next four months recovering from the collision, which left her with herniated discs, and made the news as one of a number of pedestrians hit by cars in fall 2013.

In some ways, being hit wasn’t surprising.

According to Babic and coworker Joel Chisolm, the western crosswalk at the Lansdowne and Third intersection is notorious in their office building for near-misses and pedestrian scares.

Chisolm said the issue is pedestrians don’t have any time to cross before cars are allowed to turn left onto Lansdowne — and often drivers don’t seem to notice those on foot.

“Especially the people in the second lane, they’ve got themselves, a car and then you trying to cross in the crosswalk,” he said.

“And so, at least once a day, I’d say, one of us from our building just about gets hit.”

Babic said aggressive drivers who see pedestrians but attempt to drive around them or hover at the edge of the crosswalk with their cars, aren’t helping either.

“Nobody wants to stop, slow down, anything for the pedestrian,” she said.

Though they’ve contacted the city about the issue — at one point, Chisolm collected about 70 signatures on a petition calling for safety improvements in the course of a single lunch break — the pair told KTW they don’t feel Kamloops’ traffic department is taking their concerns about safety seriously.

While they were told the city would put a truck at the intersection on several occasions, Chisolm and Babic said they aren’t aware if that’s happened and have been told the city doesn’t intend to make upgrades to the intersection at this time.

“All we’d like is an advanced walk or, at the very least, to spray the crosswalk like they do on Tranquille Road, spray it red,”

Chisolm said. “At least.”

But, traffic engineer Elnaz Ansari said the age of the intersection’s lighting system doesn’t allow for a setup where pedestrians cross ahead of cars, though the lights are among those that could be upgraded in the next several years.

Ansari said the city has made some safety improvements at the crossing in recent years, adding a ‘yield to pedestrians’ sign and better lane markings.

But, overall, she disagrees the intersection is particularly unsafe.

“We’ve looked at RCMP and ICBC collision data and we didn’t find any specific trend for vehicle or pedestrian incidents,” she said. “So, based on the review up until now, staff don’t believe changing the signal timing is an appropriate course of action.”

Ansari said the intersection has been analyzed following Chisolm and Babic’s complaint and is due for more analysis as part of a fall traffic count.

“It’s not that we’re ignoring this issue,” she said. “Staff have spent quite a lot of time looking at this intersection.”

She said the city will ask the RCMP to tackle the problem instead by cracking down on drivers who don’t yield to pedestrians when turning left.

City council candidate Mike O’Reilly (standing) addresses students in a Westsyde secondary classroom this week. Candidates were invited to speak to the high-school socials students ahead of a mock class vote next month. O’Reilly was joined at Westsyde by Nancy Bepple, Donovan Cavers and Jenny Green.

Council hopefuls go back to the classroom ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

After an hour with four of the 28 candidates running for seats on Kamloops city council, Westsyde secondary student Jared Melnyk has one name on his list of people to vote for when his school heads to a mock poll in November.

Out of a field of Nancy Bepple, incumbent Coun.

Donovan Cavers, Jenny Green and Mike O’Reilly, who were at the school on Wednesday, Oct. 29, it’s the latter whose platform Melnyk likes best.

“Not many people have specific ideas,” the Grade 11 student complained, arguing he feels the election so far has been focused more on advertising than on specific plans to improve the city.

“I feel like there’s a lot of candidates running, but not a lot of people saying why they’re running.”

Members of Melnyk’s socialstudies class questioned candidates on tackling homelessness and promoting rental housing, trail improvements in Westsyde, and what Green means when she says she’d bring change to Kamloops.

Green said she wants to change the city by getting more people and perspectives involved in decisions making.

Four candidates visit WSS classroom ahead of vote She told the class she believes the city should do more community engagement using its committees, whose members may have contacts the city isn’t hearing from.

“It’s not going to please everyone, but it’s worth it to try to engage with as many people as possible,” she said.

Other candidates argued there’s a limit to what the city can do to encourage public input.

“You can only engage with people that really want to,” said Cavers, who argued it’s most important that the city give those who want to help make decisions opportunities to do so.

O’Reilly used another student question to outline his plan to build a light-industrial park near the weigh scales by the Trans-Canada Highway in the city’s southwest.

He said he believes the park would attract many of the businesses in Sahali’s industrial area which are looking to expand but cannot find the land, allowing retail outlets to develop in the area instead.

Bepple said if the city

looks at the plan, it will have to also take into account the extra pressure an increasingly retail Sahali would put on the Tranquille Market and downtown core.

“As a city, I don’t believe we want to lose those areas,” she said. “So, council needs to do something to support those areas.”

She told students council would also have to be willing to spend money in the short term, which could mean raising taxes.

In response to a question on increasing the city’s stock of rental housing, Green said the city needs to collaborate with non-profits, Bepple and Cavers praised a decision to set aside land for affordable housing made while they were both on council and O’Reilly said the city needs to encourage more legal secondary rental suites.

Westsyde secondary will host a school-wide vote in the week before the election through the Student Vote program, which encourages students to learn about politics in their classrooms as well as through family discussions and reading news reports.

hanging of the nameless warrior TOM FLETCHER/BLACK PRESS

Chief Roger William, vice chair of the Tsilhqot’in National Government, and Chief Joe Alphonse, chair, speak to reporters after an apology in the B.C. legislature last week.

Premier apologizes for 1864 hangings TOM FLETCHER

BLACK PRESS

VICTORIA — The B.C. government has made a formal apology in the legislature to the Tsilhqot’in Nation for the arrest and hanging of six of its war chiefs at Quesnel in 1864.

Tsilhqot’in tribal chair Chief Joe Alphonse and vicechair Chief Roger William visited the legislature earlier this month to hear Premier Christy Clark make a formal statement on the historic events often referred to as the Chilcotin War or the Bute Inlet massacre.

The Tsilhqot’in Nation’s historical position that it was defending its sovereign territory was upheld in June by a Supreme Court of Canada decision recognizing aboriginal title based on continuous occupation and control of the Nemiah Valley near Williams Lake.

In the summer of 1864, Tsilhqot’in members killed 14 construction workers employed by colonial official Alfred Waddington to build a road from Bute Inlet to provide faster access to the gold fields of the Cariboo region.

Alphonse said later that Tsilhqot’in warriors traditionally fought to protect their land, women and children. “One of the things you don’t hear about very often, the final straw that led to that conflict was the abuse of our women by the roadbuilding crew,� he said.

After the violence, Tsilhqot’in chiefs were invit-

TRU

ed to Quesnel for what they believed were peace talks, but were arrested and eventually hanged.

Clark described in the legislature an offer by colonial gold commissioner William Cox to send the Tsilhqot’in chiefs a gift of tobacco and an invitation to discuss terms of peace, after settlers had been either killed or driven out of Tsilhqot’in territory. “Chief Klatsassin and his men accepted this truce,�

Clark said. “They rode into the camp to negotiate peace, and then, in an unexpected act of betrayal, they were arrested, imprisoned and tried for murder.

On Oct. 26, five chiefs were hanged: Head War Chief Klatsassin, Chief Biyil, Chief Tilaghed, Chief Taqed and Chief Chayses. Their bodies are all buried in the city of Quesnel. “The following summer, Chief Ahan sought to pay reparations to compensate for any harm caused to innocents in the events of the Chilcotin War. He was also hanged. He was buried in New Westminister. “So, Madame Speaker, I stand here today in this legislature, 150 years later, to say that the province of British Columbia is profoundly sorry for the wrongful arrest, trial and hanging of the six chiefs, and for the many wrongs inflicted by past governments,� Clark said.

Alphonse said the next step should be an admission by the federal government that the hanged chiefs did not commit any crime.

2008 JEEP PATRIOT

MARKET

“NORTH EDITION�

By Chris Kempling SPECIAL TO KTW “You are sentenced to hang by the neck until you are dead.

And may God have mercy on your souls.� With these words, Judge Matthew Baillie Begbie pronounced sentence on five Tsilhquot’in warriors for their role in the Chilcotin War of 1864, which resulted in the deaths of 19 white people and four Tsilhqot’ins.

The two-day trial took place in a Quesnel courthouse on Sept. 28 and 29 of that year. The five warriors had been deceived into surrendering at the old Fort Chilcotin in late July. They thought they were going to be entering into peace negotiations and arranging to make reparation payments to the families of those killed.

Instead, they were captured and taken to Quesnel for trial for murder.

The Tsilhqot’in war chief was called Lhatsassin. He stoutly denied the murder charge and said firmly, “We meant war, not murder.�

Judge Begbie was suitably impressed and declared that Lhatsassin was “the finest savage I have met with yet.� Despite that admiration, the hanging went ahead on Oct. 26, 1864, with 250 citizens watching.

The Chilcotin War is one of the most fascinating accounts of colonial British Columbia history.

The story is inextricably entwined with the Barkerville Gold Rush. As is well known, gold was discovered in the Cariboo in 1860 and, when Billy Barker struck the motherlode on Williams Creek in 1862, the gold rush to the Cariboo was on. But, it was extremely difficult to bring supplies to the north.

An entrepreneur by the name of Alfred Waddington decided to build a toll wagon road from the head of Bute Inlet, along the Homathko River, and through Tsilhqot’in country to Fort Alexandria. He didn’t bother to ask the Tsilhqot’in what they thought about the idea. Because of the 1862 smallpox epidemic, many of their best hunters and gatherers had died of the deadly disease.

Starvation was imminent.

William Brewster was the foreman of the road-building crew brought to the head of Bute Inlet in April, 1864. He was angry that some flour cached the year before had been stolen by the starving Tsilhqot’in. He mistreated the

2014 FORD F-250 XLT SD

Tsilhqot’in who came begging for food and pointedly threw food scraps into the fire. The last straw was when he threatened to bring more smallpox as punishment for the theft of the flour.

Lhatsassin called a war council and eight warriors prepared for battle by blackening their faces and singing battle songs. It was April 29, 1864 — 150 years ago.

First, they killed Tim Smith, the Homathko river ferryman and captured all the cached supplies for the road building crew. They then moved north and, in a surprise attack on the road-building camp, killed 13 more, including Brewster.

Three wounded men escaped back to the Bute Inlet townsite at the mouth of the Homathko River.

The wounded men were soon back in Victoria. The newly installed governor, Frederick Seymour, immediately organized an expeditionary force to attack via Bella Coola. Another 65-man militia under Gold Commissioner William Cox set out from Fort Alexandria to complete the pincer.

Meanwhile, Lhatsassin and his band were still on the warparth.

They raided the homestead of William Manning, who had set up his ranch at Puntzi Lake. This site just happened to be an important Tsilhqot’in seasonal camping site and Manning had not bothered to get permission to set up a permanent home there.

Despite a determined defence, he was shot and killed.

The war party then struck out toward Anahim Lake, where a group of miners with 20 mules were headed for the gold fields.

Lhatsassin’s warriors engaged in a major gun battle with the group.

They killed Alex McDonald, a packer named Peter McDougall, his Tsilhqot’in wife Klymtedza, and an English miner named Clifford Higgins.

One Tsilhqot’in warrior named Chacatinea died in the battle.

In fact, he was the only warrior to be killed by the enemy in the Chilcotin War. The two others were brothers of Chacatinea, named Niho and Chinanihim. One brother killed the other in a violent argument about whether to stay on the warpath or not. In remorse, the surviving brother threw himself into a raging bonfire, committing suicide.

There was just one more casualty in the Chilcotin War. One

member of Cox’s militia was a scout named Donald McLean, a retired Hudson’s Bay Company factor living in Kamloops who had earned a bad reputation with the Tsilhqot’in for cheating when he ran Fort Chilcotin. He was also hated by the natives for killing two Carrier Indians in an interrogation he conducted in Quesnel in 1849, but he was never tried for the crime.

He had a Spanish-style steel vest which he brought with him on the expedition, but he wasn’t wearing it when he decided to go off by himself to do a bit of scouting. The Tsilhqot’in sniper Sachayel shot him through the heart. The Xeni Gwet’in Tsilhqot’in of Nemiah Valley, interviewed by Terry Glavin for his book, Nemiah, The Unconquered Country, said, “McLean had it coming.�

Cox and Seymour searched everywhere for Lhatsassin and his war party, but never did find them. It was only after Chief Alexis of Anahim Lake persuaded Lhatsassin to meet Governor Seymour for peace talks that he voluntarily came to Fort Chilcotin in late July.

Instead of peace talks, Lhatsassin’s group was clapped in irons and hauled by wagon to Quesnel to be tried for murder.

The Tsilhqot’in are still bitter about how Lhatsassin and the other four warriors were treated.

One more Tsilhqot’in warrior named Ahan was hanged in New Westminster the following year for his role in the death of miner Alex McDonald.

There is a plaque next to the reported burial site of the five warriors near Quesnel’s G.R. Baker Hospital’s helicopter landing pad, which summarizes the conflict in English and Tsilhqot’in.

Ground-penetrating radar has determined a ground disturbance approximately five bodies wide under the lawn between the plaque and the helicopter pad, but no excavations have occurred as yet.

You may be wondering why this account is titled Hanging of the Nameless Warrior when the name Lhatsassin has been used throughout the account.

That’s because it was a nom de guerre, a pseudonym of war.

For the literal translation of the Tsilhqot’in word Lhatsassin is “we don’t know who it is�. I suspect the Tsilhqot’in are still chuckling about that deception.

A TIME FOR EVERY TECHNOLOGY Dreaming of a day where you can vote from the comfort of your own home?

Don’t expect it to arrive any time soon.

Inclusive is the key word for any vote, whether it be a referendum, municipal election or all the way up to a federal election. Inclusive means everyone has to have an equal opportunity to vote.

While electronic voting machines, or vote-counting machines like those used in Penticton, accomplish that goal, a move to online voting, while practical and straightforward for many, would disenfranchise those who may not be comfortable or dexterous with modern technologies.

Still, the possibility is being looked into by the province, which has organized a task force for the 2018 election.

“There have been lots of tests in different jurisdictions around Canada doing electronic voting,” said Karen Needham of the City of Kelowna.

“The City of Edmonton did an extensive trial and, at the end of the day, they decided not to do it.”

There were several reasons for the decision, not the least of which being cost.

For Penticton, there would be almost 33,000 people to access and the cost to allow for an electronic vote is somewhere in the area of $3 apiece.

“So, it’s lots of money,” she said. “And then there are the issues of the integrity of the vote and privacy.”

For instance, it would be hard to tell if one person in a home was forcing others to vote as told, or even casting their votes for them.

No doubt, voting at home will eventually arrive, but it will need to wait for the day when technology is really as accessible and universal as we all think it is right now.

Until that day comes, we need to keep the voting process open, transparent and accessible for all.

Tough birth for LNG cash cow

D

ebate is underway on the B.C. Liberal government’s tax and environmental plan for liquefied natural-gas exports, amid the usual political theatre.

Most media reported the government “slashed” its proposed seven per cent LNG processing income tax by half, caving in to demands of international energy giants led by Petronas of Malaysia.

The 3.5 per cent tax wouldn’t even take full effect until the massive capital investment is written down and would rise to five per cent after 20 years of production.

All of this casts further doubt on Premier Christy Clark’s extravagant election-campaign promise to use LNG revenues to wipe out B.C.’s debt, currently approaching $70 billion, and provide an Alberta-style “prosperity fund” to perform further miracles.

The seven per cent figure was the top end of the range presented this spring, while negotiations with LNG investors were ongoing, so it’s not really accurate to say it was “slashed.”

This cash calf hasn’t been born yet — and it remains to be seen if it will survive.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong pointed out some of the shifts in the global gas market that have reduced expectations.

Japan, one of the potential investors, is considering restarting its nuclear plants as it recovers from the 2011 Fukushima earthquake.

China’s manic growth is slow-

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA ing and it has signed a long-term deal to import cheaper Russian pipeline gas.

Oil prices have dropped.

The government’s change of tone started with the recent throne speech, which emphasized the fate of B.C.’s only current export market.

“Like forestry, B.C.’s naturalgas industry has relied on exports to the United States,” the speech observed.

“But, the American shale-gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up — and is never coming back.”

So, before B.C. gets to that prosperity fund, it’s got to stop the bleeding. You may recall it was a U.S. hurricane-induced spike in gas revenues that allowed the province to spread an extra billion to calm its labour waters for the 2010 Olympics.

The finance ministry estimates that, after the startup period, a medium-sized LNG export operation would pay total taxes of about $800 million a year to the province.

De Jong notes this is more

revenue than B.C. will collect rev from the entire forest industry fro this year. th All from a single plant. There are 18 proposed. ar This new LNG income tax is nowhere near the biggest source. no It’s bigger than the carbon tax LNG producers will pay on fuel LN use, but only a quarter of what us B.C. collects in royalties for sellB. ing the gas.

The biggest source of revenue from this hoped-for plant is “other taxes,” which include sales tax and corporate income tax, which B.C. increased to 11 per cent last year.

University of Calgary economist Jack Mintz, who supported B.C. on its ill-fated harmonized sales tax, says this additional LNG tax is wrong-headed at any rate.

“If other provinces take the same view with respect to resource taxation, new levies would be applied to oil refining, forest-product manufacturing, mining processing and a host of other activities linked to resource industries,” Mintz wrote last week in the Financial Post.

If B.C. does get a substantial LNG export industry, it will include gas from Alberta, with royalties going there, not here.

And, companies are also wrangling with the federal government over its taxes, with local governments and First Nations still in line for their cut.

The big question isn’t whether B.C. will get its fair share. It’s whether there will be anything to share. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

TAKE AJAX STANCE BY VOTING NOV. 15 Editor: As our municipal election draws near, it appears Ajax will be the hill the careers of many of our aspiring public servants die on.

As I watch most of our existing council, the guardians of the status quo, attempt to whistle past the Ajax graveyard yet again, I’m given to having a graveyard meditation.

“There is no freedom for man so long as he has not overcome his fear of death. One must be able to die courageously and without bitterness.”

When I consider my own mortality, I like to remember those words of Albert Camus.

Today, however, it is not my own mortality that concerns me.

My mind is troubled by a buried, deep, dark suspicion that won’t go away, that things had better start to work out soon with some of our elections because, if they don’t, it sure feels to me our species is on a death march with our destination beginning to come into clear view.

The Earth we are passing on to our grandchildren is much diminished from the one onto

which we were born.

We are burdening the future with terrible debts and dangers. Our world is more crowded, more violent and less humane than the one we inherited.

Our oceans are dying, global warming is increasing steadily, our habitat is shrinking and thousands of species of plant and animal life have already gone extinct.

I don’t feel any of our achievements can make up for the squandering of this inheritance.

The Ajax proposition looks to me like business as usual, exactly the type of thinking that got us into trouble in the first place.

So, why would we go down that road?

Whenever things confuse me, I try and remember that if something doesn’t make any sense at all to you, you will always find money and politics behind it.

Those on city council who have remained silent on the Ajax proposition, intended or not, have given tacit approval to it and I don’t feel we can look to them for the change of direction we so badly need.

This council seems to

be driven by irrational priorities overlooking the fact that our ultimate priority has to be the health of the earth if we are to survive on it.

My graveyard meditations also focus on the disengaged, the 71 per cent of folks who don’t vote in municipal elections.

At the risk of sounding pious and preachy, I would like to share with the disengaged some more immortal words of wisdom from the great sage Albert Camus, “the only way to die happy is to rebel.”

Peaceful rebellion is all I have to offer you today. It is the only one viable program of low to mid-level grief reduction I know.

To be a rebel is simply to confront your meaninglessness, powerlessness and death head on.

We have a direct opportunity to rebel and act on the Earth’s behalf on Nov. 15.

I feel many of you disengaged have simply walked away feeling our political and economic systems are broken, they have failed us.

They are in fact the systems of our death but here is the thing, they are the only systems we

NEVADA MINE CAN PROVIDE INSIGHT

have at the moment.

So you disengaged; if voting feels detestable, like you are selling out, just don’t buy in, hold your nose and do it anyway without believing in it.

On Nov. 15, we have a clear choice, we have some clear eyed, decisive candidates who will act with integrity and without fear and we can support them or we can remain disengaged and issue license to the dithering status quo and allow them to lead us down a dead end road.

For those who have offered themselves up for public service, particularly those of you who already hear the sounds of the earth crying, I offer even more words from the sagacious grief councilor Camus, “Rebellion is born of the spectacle of irrationality confronted with an unjust and incomprehensible condition.

It protests, it demands, it insists the outrage be brought to an end, and that what has up to now been built upon shifting sands should henceforth be founded on rock”.

Editor: In case there are still Kamloops residents who are in favour of the Ajax Mine after the recent Mt. Polley mine disaster, here is some startling information that should be taken into consideration.

On your computer, Google Nevada Mines, then scroll to Yerrington Anaconda Mine.

This mine is located right next to the town.

When the mine closed in 1978, it left behind leaking settling ponds and dustladen tailing piles, with no attempt of any remediation.

Millions of dollars are required to clean up the mess left behind Anaconda Mines.

In the meantime, the groundwater contamination and flying dust continue.

In our upcoming municipal election, we should vote for candidates who clearly state where they stand on the proposed Ajax Mine, for once this mine is in operation, there will be no turning back.

RIH auxiliary craft fair this weekend at ISC ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

If it can be handmade, it’s more than likely available for purchase at the Royal Inland Hospital Evening Auxiliary’s annual Christmas Craft Affair.

“There’s all kinds of stuff,” said Carol Frost, vice president of the auxiliary. “There’s pottery, there’s jewelry, there’s wood crafting, furniture and stuff.

“There is some

baked goods, we’ve got one lady who brings Christmas cake and that kind of stuff.”

The event, which runs Sunday, Nov. 2 at Interior Savings Centre from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., brings in about 175 crafters, some of whom have been coming to the event every year of its three-decade run.

“We fill the whole ISC,” said Frost. “We do the ice surface, the concourse and the sports lounge.”

Parking at the event

is free and Frost said ATMs in the building will be well-stocked.

“They know when we come they need to fill them,” she joked.

While many of the crafters are local, Frost said about a third of participants come from out of town.

The event has drawn about 3,500 people each year since the group moved downtown from the former KXA grounds.

Frost believes it’s the variety of crafts on dis-

play, as well as the size of the event — it’s the largest in the southern Interior — that have kept crowds coming back for 30 years.

“People look forward to it,” she said.

“It’s the first Christmas one, and they go and start their Christmas shopping and start to get into the season. Halloween’s over.”

Admission to the sale is $2 each, and free for children six and under. Proceeds go to purchases of equipment for RIH, which this year include equipment for the intensive care unit and operating rooms at the hospital.

Police: Be careful, stay safe on Halloween TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Mounties have some tips for trick-or-treaters and Halloween revellers of all ages to make sure the night goes smoothly.

RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said police are asking everyone to take extra precautions on Halloween to ensure the safety of children going door-to-door and other people out enjoying the festivities.

“Police anticipate the night to be busy,” she said.

“There will be a full complement of officers working throughout the night with additional resources including traffic enforcement, auxiliary officers, citizens on patrol, City of Kamloops bylaws officers and other support units.”

Bush urged drivers to be extra cautious during trick-or-treating hours.

“The residential areas are particularly busy with youngsters dart-

ing from house to house, often in a hurry and not watching for traffic,” she said.

Parents are asked to ensure their children are wearing something bright or reflective and travelling in groups. As well, candy should be checked by parents after trick-ortreating is done.

Drivers are asked to slow down and expect the unexpected.

Bush said everyone on the road in areas where children are trick-ortreating should use caution when backing up.

Fireworks are also a concern for authorities on Halloween. Bush said city bylaws require anyone in possession of fireworks to have a permit.

Later in the evening, she said, people celebrating Halloween with booze are urged to take a taxi or arrange a ride home ahead of time.

“Police will have extra enforcement with road checks set up throughout the city.

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

While the food and beverages are the focus, the real benefit of Chefs in the City shows up in classrooms at Thompson Rivers University in the view of some of the chefs taking part.

Ed Walker, culinary-arts instructor at the university, said the event — which happens this year on Monday, Nov. 3, in the Campus Activity Centre — provides some of his students with scholarships that help them with their studies.

The event, organized by the Rotary Club of Kamloops, also uses money from the project to support underprivileged youth — in particular through the Powersmart map program at the Kamloops Boys and Girls Club and monthly family dinners the club holds at NorKam secondary for families.

Christopher Seguin, a member of the Rotary Club and one of the organizers of the dinners, said there were 132 families at the most-recent dinner, the majority of them children accompanied by their single-parent moms.

He said it’s a rest opportunity for the moms to get together and socialize while volunteers like Seguin cook and serve the meal and keep the kids busy having fun.

The initiative costs about $8,000 a year to put on, a cost that is kept low because of a partnership with the Kamloops Food Bank, he said, and being able to use the school’s caf-

eteria without cost, courtesy of the Kamloops-Thompson school board.

While the average attendance is about 100 families, Seguin said, the number has climbed as high as 240.

One of the ways the kids are kept amused is through something as simple as spending $50 at a dollar store to get small prizes the kids can receive.

“They are crazy about them,” Seguin said.

The idea of the dinners came from the People in Transition program run at Kamloops United Church.

Seguin said when Rotarians volunteered there, some of them “wondered where the kids were” as that program just attracts adults.

From there, it was a matter of some meetings, some goodwill and the annual culinary event was created.

For chef Brody White, helping children is a great benefit to taking part in the event.

While he said he likes “helping give back to creating future chefs,” the fundraiser is a night when “everyone puts their best forward, building a better community through feeding kids.”

David Tomb of Terra Restaurant, also a regular participant, said his involvement comes down to a simple belief that it helps the community and also “feed the hand that feeds us,” noting many of his staff have received bursaries from the club.

Tickets are $70 and are available online at chefs inthecity.ca or by calling 250-574-9491.

OWNTOWN IS

From page A3

ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A tour of the Ajax mine site for city council candidates is getting mixed reviews.

About 18 mayor and council candidates attended the two-hour tour and presentation hosted by KGHM Ajax on Wednesday, Oct. 29.

Media and members of the public were not invited.

Coun. Ken Christian, who has toured the proposed site of the copper and gold mine before, said the tour was “very informative,” though little of it was new to him.

“What I was hoping we were going to do was drive to the southern end of the claim, where some of their re-located elements of the mine were going to be,” said Christian.

“But, they didn’t really have the time to do that.”

Peter Kerek, who has campaigned on his opposition to the mine, called the tour “an interesting ballet between strict, careful messaging and deflecting dissenting discussion.”

Kerek said he was told multiple times to save his questions for a later date or to consider booking a separate appointment.

He also charged some information in the presentation was misleading, such as a statement that mines are subject to strict regulatory standards and inspections.

“When pushed on that, the presenter eventually said, ‘Well, mines have an obligation to conduct their own inspections and report those inspections to the ministry as often as required,’” Kerek said, adding he

does not believe self-inspections can be considered rigorous.

“My concerns about being given such a slick sales pitch have been largely validated by going on that tour and that presentation.”

Cheryl Phippen also said she would have liked more time on the tour, in particular so more candidates could pose questions to the tour leaders in a group setting.

But, she disagreed with Kerek that presenters were unwilling to answer questions.

“I didn’t find there was any reluctance whatsoever,” she said. “I think Kerek and Glen [Thompson] turned around and started putting words in their mouths. They attacked them, in my opinion.”

Phippen said the two candidates tried to mischaracterize a statement from Ajax reps that they might bring in specialized consultants from outside Canada as an admission that temporary foreign workers might be employed at the mine.

In a statement on Kerek’s campaign Facebook page, Thompson said Ajax had “left the door open” to using temporary staff.

At press time, Thompson had not returned KTW’s request for comment.

Tanja Hasler echoed the complaint the question time on the tour “was a bit limited” but said it was helpful to get a better sense of the mine’s size and layout under its current proposed configuration.

Dustin McIntyre, who also attended the tour, called it “well put together,” but said his opinion of the mine had not changed because of the visit.

“I think it’s still too close,” he said.

Fedan had also signed a police undertaking — a pledge by which he was still bound at the time of “He has no drug or the crash — not to alcohol issues. It’s an consume alcohol due isolated incident that to an earlier incident in ended in tragedy.”

OWNTOWN IS

TORONTO — The CBC offered counselling to its employees yesterday (Oct. 30), as more women stepped forward to allege “abusive behaviour’’ by Jian Ghomeshi, and announced it is hiring a third-party company to conduct an investigation into accusations against the former Q radio host.

In a Facebook post, Ghomeshi vowed to fight accusations against him head-on.

In a memo to staff, CBC’s Heather Conway called CBC and Toronto Star reports “extremely disturbing.’’ “Given the serious nature of what has been reported, we are currently in the process of selecting a third-party company who will conduct a rigorous, independent investigation beyond what’s already been done,’’ Conway said in the memo.

She also said the public broadcaster is making on-site or

Brunswick — said she went public because she wants to help other women who are levelling more serious accusations against Ghomeshi.

The Star said Ghomeshi, his lawyers and public-relations staff have not responded to allegations in their latest report, which includes accusations from DeCoutere and other accusers who are not named.

A spokeswoman for Ghomeshi did not respond to a request from The Canadian Press for comment.

Ghomeshi has said previously he has engaged in rough sex, but it was always consensual.

Asked by The Current host Anna Maria Tremonti why she was willing to go on the record, DeCoutere said her story is not as disturbing to discuss as some that have been detailed in anonymous accounts. “My story, [for] me

to talk about it is a little upsetting but it’s not traumatic. I wasn’t terribly hurt by him,’’ she said. “It’s the women who are talking about this [and] won’t come forward with their names. “They’re obviously feeling like they will be targeted in some way and that their lives will be impacted negatively. “I’m OK with that.’’ Some of the other alleged victims told the Toronto Star they feared repercussions online if they allowed the newspaper to publish their names.

While chuckling she might be “naive,’’ DeCoutere said she’s not concerned about such a backlash. “I’m sure there’s a chance that there will be attacks online, but I don’t care,’’ she told The Current.’’ “I mean, people who know me know that I’m not a bad person and people who don’t know me are not part of my life.’’ She added: “I will take it if that means somebody doesn’t have to because they’re dealing with something a bit bigger.’’ DeCoutere said she didn’t go to police after the date with Ghomeshi, explaining she was left confused and puzzled.

Ghomeshi is suing the CBC for $55 million for defamation and breach of trust.

The corporation has said it will “vigorously’’ defend itself against Ghomeshi’s lawsuit.

On Oct. 26, after the CBC announced it was severing ties with him, Ghomeshi issued a lengthy Facebook post alleging he had been fired for his sexual behaviour.

He said he engaged in adventurous forms of sex that included role-play, dominance and submission, along with “rough sex [forms of BDSM]’’ but that the activities were consensual and he and his partners used safe words to signal when to stop the activity.

DeCoutere’s accusations come after the Star carried allegations on Monday, Oct. 27, from three women who said he was physically violent to them without their consent during sexual encounters or in the run-up to such encounters.

Ghomeshi — through his lawyer — responded he “does not engage in non-consensual role play or sex and any suggestion of the contrary is defamatory.’’ The Star also reported in that story earlier this week a fourth woman who worked at the CBC alleged that Ghomeshi “approached her from behind and cupped her rear end in the Q studio’’ and made a sexually obscene comment to her during a story meeting.

The Star reported Ghomeshi told the newspaper he did not understand why it was continuing to pursue allegations when “my lawyers have already told you it is untrue.’’

MONTREAL — Bacon the pig is no longer a ham on the lam.

He was snared yesterday morning (Oct. 30) by animalprotection officials after keeping them and Quebec provincial police on the hunt for several days.

The cagy critter had escaped from his home

in St-Hyacinthe, east of Montreal, on Sunday, Oct. 26, and a dragnet was launched.

But, Bacon seemed to move like greased lightning when pursuers were around.

“The animal had been seen a few times during the week but it was impossible to catch him,’’ said provincial police Sgt. Joyce Kemp.

diately known how the pig got loose but Bacon’s breakout isn’t the provincial force’s first animal roundup.

In August, officers were called in to help animal control after about 3,000 minks were set loose from a rural fur farm after allegations of mistreatment.

One of their most intense hunts was in 2010, when a tiger and two camels from an Ontario zoo were snatched in their trailers by thieves.

Jonas, the hulking three-year-old tiger, and camels Shawn and Todd were later found safe and sound.

While humans are the force’s main interest, Kemp said it’s ready to act when animals go astray as in Bacon’s case.

“Sometimes we do get called for assistance when animals are on the loose like this.’’

one pursuit posted on a radio station website shows the fleet-footed porker darting away from one official.

Some area residents reported hog havoc was wreaked on some local lawns but Kemp was unable to confirm that.

Yesterday (Oct. 30), police and animal control began to bore in on their prey and a trap was set.

“They were able to catch him and the pig is fine,’’ said Kemp.

Despite being called Bacon, the moniker isn’t a prediction of the pig’s future.

“It’s not like a farm animal,’’ Kemp said.

“It’s really like a pet.’’

Photos show a bulky, black animal but Kemp didn’t have details on his size.

Spence strides toward goal STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Josie Spence has taken the next step toward realizing her Olympic dream.

The Kamloops-born Spence, a speedskater who trains in Calgary and attends the University of Calgary, was officially named to Speed Skating Canada’s team for the fall ISU Long Track Speed Skating World Cup circuit on Wednesday, Oct. 29.

“It means a lot,” Spence, a former member of the Kamloops River City Racers, told KTW. “I think that I’m still young and I’m still developing as a skater.

“To be able to have this experience, to compete with such well-known athletes in the circuit, is great and it’s really going to help me grow as an athlete.”

The 20-year-old will compete for her country in four

events overseas this fall. She will be in Obihiro, Japan, from Nov. 14 to 16; Seoul, South Korea, from Nov. 21 to 23; Berlin, Germany, from Dec. 5 to 7; and Heerenveen, Netherlands, from Dec. 12 to 14.

Last season, Spence, who is a member of Canada’s National Development Team, competed in two North American World Cup events. She made her debut in Calgary and later raced in an event in Salt Lake City, Utah.

She qualified for the fall World Cup circuit last week, with a pair of races in Calgary. She finished second in both the 1,500- and 5,000m distances, crossing the line in 1:59.65 and 7:18.66, respectively.

Her older sister, Victoria, participated in the same races but failed to qualify for the circuit, finishing seventh in the 1,500m (2:03.23) and third in the 5,000m (7:19.58).

He also received an award for being the league’s leading scorer and became the first dual-award winner in Venom history.

Riley Peterson also got in on the act. He was named the TOJLL rookie of the year.

Jorgensen had 66 goals and 103 points in 16 regular-season games. Peterson racked up 26 goals and 73 points in 14 games.

STAFF REPORTER

It took six seconds for the Everett Silvertips to quash the Kamloops Blazers’ comeback bid at Interior Savings Centre on Wednesday, Oct. 29.

Everett won 4-1.

Kohl Bauml scored his second goal of the night at 4:08 of the third period and Carson Stadnyk lit the lamp at 4:14, collecting the puck off the draw near centre ice, waltzing through the Kamloops defence and sliding one through the pads of Blazer netminder Connor Ingram. “The third goal came against the flow,�

Blazers’ head coach Don Hay said after the game, “and then they struck real quick right off the faceoff. “There were breakdowns from all five, from all six, players on the ice.�

Kamloops (9-7-1-0) is in Prince George for games against the Cougars tomorrow (Nov. 1) and Sunday.

Everett (9-1-2-1) was the better team in the first period on Wednesday, with goals from Bauml and Remi

The middle stanza belonged to the Blazers, who outplayed the visitors and got one back when Logan McVeigh notched his first goal of the WHL campaign.

Everett netminder Austin Lotz made a few key saves to preserve his team’s one-goal cushion heading into the third period. “I thought we had a real good second period,� Hay said. “We out-chanced them. I thought we were taking over the game.�

In the third period, Everett tied a franchise record with the goals scored six seconds apart and, at the same time, put the game to bed. “When it’s 3-1, we still have a chance,�

Hay said.

NATIONAL SPORTS

Bumgarner’s performance one for the ages RONALD BLUM

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Madison Bumgarner is a throwback to the days before pampering and pitch counts.

Tall, with droopy hair and the look of a gunslinger, he strung together a sequence of World Series performances seldom seen since the games were played in daylight, kids in school listened on radios and Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson and Mickey Lolich dominated.

What a fitting way to finish a throwback season that resembled the pitching-and-defence days of the 1960s and ‘70s far more than the fin-de-siecle slugfests of the Steroids Era. “I don’t know if it’ll ever be done again,’’ Jeremy Affeldt said after Bumgarner came out of the bullpen with five scoreless innings to lead San Francisco over the Kansas City Royals 3-2 on Wednesday, Oct. 29, for the Giants’ third World Series title in five years.

In an age when arms are treated like fragile investments

and fear of Tommy John surgery fills every clubhouse, Bumgarner just wanted the ball as often as possible.

He won the opener with seven innings of one-run ball, pitched a four-hit shutout over 117 pitches in Game 5 and then whipped 68 more by the Royals in Game 7. He pitched more than one-third of San Francisco’s World Series innings: 21 of 61.

Some grand totals, courtesy of Brooks Baseball: He threw 205 of 291 pitches (70 per cent) for strikes.

His arsenal of smoke and trickery included 152 fastballs (52 per cent), 81 cutters (28 per cent), 44 curveballs, 11 changeups and three of those Bugs Bunny slow curves, “We probably would have won if they didn’t have him,’’ Kansas City’s Lorenzo Cain said. “But, they do have him.’’

With two wins and a save, Bumgarner

dominated in a manner not seen since Arizona’s Randy Johnson won Games 2, 6 and 7 against the New York Yankees in 2001, becoming the first pitcher with three Series victories since Lolich led Detroit to the 1968 title.

After throwing 101 pitches in a 15-2 Game 6 blowout, the Big Unit threw 17 more on no days’ rest the next night.

He retired Chuck Knoblauch, Bernie Williams, Tino Martinez and Jorge Posada in order, and the Diamondbacks rallied against Mariano Rivera in the ninth to end the Yankees’ run of three straight championships.

No other pitcher has won three Series games in the expansion era, when the post-season changed from a bestof-seven faceoff of pennant winners to a sprawling month that tests depth and endurance.

When St. Louis gave Chris Carpenter three starts in the 2011 Series, it was because of a rainout that meant only the last was

on short rest.

In the 45 years of the expansion era, Jack Morris had the singular best Game 7 start, a 10-inning, seven-hit shutout that boosted Minnesota over Atlanta in 1991. That followed a win in the opener and a no-decision in Game 4.

“If it was the 25th inning, I think Jack would still be out there,’’ Twins teammate Kent Hrbek said. “They would have had to drag him off the mound.’’

Morris thinks Bumgarner comes from the same biggame mould.

“I want to hug him,’’ Morris said at Kauffman Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.

“He’s my kind of guy.

He’s got the same emotions, he just doesn’t show them. He’s got a big furnace burning right now.’’

In 1968, the last season before expansion and what became known as “The Year of the Pitcher,’’ the Cardinals’ Bob Gibson threw three complete games against Detroit.

After opening with a five-hit shutout, he pitched a five-hitter

and allowed one run on three days’ rest to win Game 4.

Gibson permitted a lone infield single through the first six innings of Game 7, again on three days’ rest, then gave up Jim Northrup’s tiebreaking, two-run triple that centre fielder Curt Flood misjudged during a three-run seventh in a 4-1 defeat.

Lolich also pitched three complete games and topped Gibson: He threw a six-hitter to win Game 2, a nine-

hitter on three days’ rest to win Game 5 and a five-hitter on two days’ rest to win Game 7.

Last weekend, former broadcaster and St. Louis catcher Tim McCarver paid tribute to Bumgarner.

“It’s Gibson-esque, if you will. I know Bob could do that and I saw that from a 60-feet, 6-inch view of him every outing he threw in the World Series. I see the same thing in Bumgarner.

I really admire that,’’

McCarver said.

In 1965, Koufax didn’t pitch the Dodgers’ Series opener at Minnesota because of Yom Kippur and lost to Jim Kaat the following day. Koufax pitched a four-hit shutout on three days’ rest to win Game 5, then came back with a three-hit shutout on two days’ rest to win Game 7.

“He’s a stud. That’s all,’’ said Tim Hudson, the Giants’ Game 7 starter, of Bumgarner.

“He’s a stud.’’

Olynyk scores 19, gets extension Kelly Olynyk of Kamloops had 19 points, six rebounds and two assists in the Boston Celtics’ NBA home- and season-opener, a 121105 victory over the Brooklyn Nets,

on Wednesday, Oct. 29.

After the game, the Celtics excercised a third-year contract option on the big man from the Tournament Capital.

Controversial end to Whitecaps’ season ANDREW FRIEDLANDER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

FRISCO, Texas — A late penaltykick goal created by a controversial handball call brought the Vancouver Whitecaps’ season to a frustrating end.

Midfielder Michel stutterstepped and slid his unmolested shot into the left side of the net in the 84th minute as Vancouver goalkeeper David Ousted dived in the other direction to give FC Dallas a 2-1 victory in the knockout round of Major League Soccer’s Western Conference playoffs Wednesday (Oct. 29) night.

Dallas (17-12-6) will face

Seattle in the two-game conference semifinal.

The loss ended the Whitecaps’ five-game unbeaten streak and closed out a season in which Vancouver (12-9-14) advanced to the post-season for the second time in its MLS history.

This one just hurt more than the others.

“It was a big decision given the magnitude of the game,’’ defender Andy O’Brien said.

“But, these are things that happen.

“The game kicks you between the legs sometimes, and that’s how it feels tonight.’’

The most painful kick came from referee Mark Geiger, who

awarded a penalty when a bouncing ball in the Vancouver box barely glanced off the right arm of Kendall Waston as the Whitecaps defender tried to put his hands behind his back. The Vancouver players protested vehemently, but the call stood.

“Waston deliberately handled the ball, hence the PK was called,’’ Geiger said.

Waston disagreed with the “deliberate’’ part.

“I tried to put my hand on the back of my body and the ball hit me,’’ he said. “That’s different than putting your hand on the ball. But that was the decision of the referee. I respect it, but I don’t approve it.’’

Delay in executing judge’s refugee Senate health-care ruling dangerous, court told still owed $45,940 Canada is the only coun“try that is using health in claims care as a deterrent.”

COLIN PERKEL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Any delay in implementing a judge’s ruling that struck down the Harper government’s severe restrictions on health-care coverage for refugee claimants and their families would put lives at risk, a court heard yesterday (Oct 30).

The ruling, lawyer Lorne Waldman told the Federal Court of Appeal, amounted to a “stunning indictment’’ of a mean-sprinted government policy that provided no benefit to the country.

As a result, Waldman called on Judge Wyman Webb to reject a government request to stay the lower-court decision pending disposition of its appeal.

In July, Federal Court Judge Anne McTavish lambasted changes the government made in June 2012 to a program

first established in 1957 that extended healthcare coverage to asylum seekers.

McTavish struck down the changes as cruel and unusual treatment, and gave Ottawa four months — until Nov. 4 — to remedy the situation.

In his submissions, Crown lawyer David Tyndale said implementing the McTavish ruling would create confusion because the system, changed in 2012, could be changed again next week, again if Webb orders a stay in the future, and then possibly again if Ottawa prevails on appeal.

In addition, Tyndale said, the four-month window McTavish gave the government simply wasn’t long enough to allow the government to make the necessary changes.

Waldman, who represents refugees in the case, urged the court to

reject that argument, saying the government has shown itself capable of making policy changes within days when it wants to.

He accused Ottawa of dragging its heels and said it should not now be allowed to argue it was short of time.

“There is absolutely no need for any of this to have happened,’’ Waldman said.

“The court has to take this into account.’’

Sources have told The Canadian Press contingency plans were being put in place if Webb refuses a stay, and Waldman said the government would have no difficulty implementing McTavish’s order if it has to.

The lawyer called

McTavish’s findings extraordinary.

The government, he said, had provided no evidence that any of its stated objectives were achieved with a policy that sparked outrage among health-care groups across the country.

The new policy, he said, was deliberately designed to make life harder for would-be refugees to deter them from coming to Canada or to persuade them to leave.

“Canada is the only country that is using health care as a deterrent,’’ Waldman said.

Denying health coverage to some of the poorest and most disadvantaged people in the

country has caused significant suffering, with children put especially at risk, court heard.

“Lives continue to be put in jeopardy,’’ Waldman said.

Tyndale admitted the issue can provoke “pretty strong’’ reactions but said the government often has tough choices to make.

Webb frequently interrupted Tyndale to remind him he was only interested in arguments on the stay, saying his courtroom was not the place to re-argue the merits of the government policy or McTavish’s ruling.

Both sides urged the judge to make a decision on the stay application by Nov. 4, but they agreed he should issue an interim stay if he’s unable to meet the deadline.

Webb promised to rule as quickly as he could.

OTTAWA — The Senate is still trying to recoup tens of thousands of dollars in questionable travel and living expenses.

Newly released government spending documents show the Senate is still owed $45,940.

The Public Accounts of Canada also show the amount of the original loss — $314,758 — has been increased by $141,408, bringing it to $456,166.

Three senators — former Conservatives Mike Duffy, Patrick Brazeau and Pamela Wallin — were suspended from the Senate last November over expense claims.

Liberal Mac Harb resigned from the Senate in August 2013 after paying back $231,000 for ineligible housing and travel expenses.

Brazeau’s wages were garnisheed before his suspension when he refused to repay more than $48,000.

Wallin had to reimburse $138,970, while Duffy’s $90,000 tab was covered

by Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s former chief of staff, Nigel Wright.

Colbert tip of hat THE CANADIAN PRESS

WASHINGTON — He’s been called “Canada’s New National Hero’’ by the Washington Post.

He’s made the front page of the Wall Street Journal.

Now, the sergeant-at-arms of Canada’s House of Commons has received perhaps an even rarer celebrity distinction in the United States: Praise from a late-night TV comedian.

Stephen Colbert, better known for his roasting than toasting, dedicated an entire segment of Wednesday, Oct. 29, Colbert Report show to a tribute of Kevin Vickers, whose intervention helped end last week’s Ottawa shooting.

He began the segment with a photo of Vickers carrying the mace — which the tongue-in-cheek TV newsman described to viewers as a giant ceremonial baby rattle.

The show then cut to a CBC clip describing, in the final moments of the confrontation, how Vickers launched himself upside-down towards the ground, firing upward and fatally striking shooter Michael Zehaf Bibeau. “To hell with Bruce Willis,’’ Colbert said, of the signature line from the movie Die Hard: “Our neighbour to the north just put the

‘Eh’ in Yippee-ki-yay.’’ The segment showed the scene in Parliament the day after the shooting. Vickers was seen remaining stone-faced amid a rousing ovation from members in the Commons. “Look at that magnificent bastard,’’ Colbert said, applauding Vickers for what he called a stoic, humble response. “Folks, I have not been this moved by something Canadian since the return of Degrassi. And, I cannot believe I am saying this, but I was wrong about Canada. “I have said some awful things about you over the years.’’ Indeed, mocking Canada has been a staple of Colbert shtick.

Just a few months ago, he joked President Barack Obama should invade Saskatchewan to get a boost in the polls. “Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, I’m going to do the most Canadian thing I can imagine and say: ‘I’m sorry.’’’ He then said, “Sorry,’’ again — this time, with a mock Canadian accent.

And then, with his crowd cheering, he stood up and sang Canada’s national anthem — to the tune of Frank Sinatra’s The Way You Look Tonight.

MUG SHOTS CRIMES OF THE WEEK DUMPSTERS SET ON FIRE On Monday October 6th, at approximately 2:00 am, three dumpsters were set on fire in the alleyway behind 174 St. Paul Street. The fire department and police attended to the area, the fire department were able to put out the fires before any damage could be caused to the surrounding buildings. A witness did see two males light one of the dumpsters on fire, then they ran down the alley, the witness was a distance away and could not get a good description of the suspects.

This senseless act of vandalism could have been devastating to the area and the potential loss of life. Fortunately the only damage was to the dumpsters and the contents inside. Although this was early in the morning someone may have seen this suspicious activity in the area of St. Paul St. If you have any information about these fires, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will remain anonymous and will never have to go to court or give a statement.

DO YOU KNOW THESE SUSPECTS? The police need your help in identifying these two suspects that were involved in a theft from the Michaels Arts and Crafts store on Hillside Drive. On Monday, October 6th, a male and a female entered the Michaels store and looked around the store for a short period of time.

The staff did notice these suspects as the two continued to wander around

the store but did not approach them.

Once the store staff became busy with other customers, the two suspects made off with over $1500 in fine art pencils. What the two did not realize is, their photos were caught on the security camera in the store.

If you know who these two people are or know the whereabouts of the stolen items, please contact

The police are looking for a suspect driver who struck a pedestrian who was walking along the 2300 block of the East Trans Canada Highway.

On Monday October 27th shortly after 7:00 pm, two pedestrians were walking westbound on the shoulder on the north side of the highway, when the male closest to the traffic was struck by a vehicle. The impact

knocked the pedestrian and his friend into the ditch. It appears that a mirror of the suspect vehicle struck the victim, the investigation is continuing to determine the type of vehicle that was involved in the hit and run. The victim who was struck by the vehicle was transported to hospital with non life threatening injuries, the other male suffered only minor injuries.

Crime Stoppers, we only want your information never your name.

PEDESTRIAN HIT AND RUN This is a very busy highway, especially at that time of day, the suspect driver would have known they hit something. If anyone saw the collision or the suspect vehicle, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will receive a cash reward upon the arrest of the suspect driver.

Paula, played by Kamloops native Paula Burrows (right), is navigating her way through the online dating world in the comedy pilot project made for CBC called The Dangers of Online Dating.

Landing a primetime show JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

aula Burrows is looking for a big strong broadcaster to take care of her.

The 27-year-old actress from Kamloops was cast in the lead role for a start-up comedy project made for television called The Dangers of Online Dating (DOOD), and she’s hoping to land the show in a primetime slot on CBC. It’s part of a project called ComedyCoup by the public broadcaster, which called for submissions across Canada with a chance to earn a television pilot.

Burrows, who grew up in Kamloops and moved to Vancouver to pursue acting, has been making a name for herself in the Lower Mainland.

To preview or vote for The Dangers of Online Dating, go online to comedycoup. cbc.ca/the-dangers-of-online-dating.

She studied theatre at Studio 58 at Langara College and has acted in several smaller roles including, most recently, a Coast Capital Savings Credit Union commercial.

“When I got out into the industry, I had some luck in film and TV,” she said.

She collaborated with Vancouver writer and director Brianne Nord-Stewart for a music video and hit it off, now two of the three-woman team working on DOOD. Nord-Stewart wrote the part for Burrows and even named the lead character after her. Katelyn Mann, the producer, rounds out the comedy trio.

“People are really excited that it’s a strong female team,” Burrows said.

“We’re getting a lot of positive feedback.”

DOOD recently made it through the top 110 to the top 55 projects shortlisted so far from the initial 285 applicants.

To pass the stages, each team completes assigned weekly tasks in the form of short online videos, revealing bits and pieces to their audience over the course of 10 weeks, with audience members voting for their favourites.

In the first week, groups were tasked with sharing a teaser of the proposed show — its original comedy concept.

DOOD’s trailer introduced Burrows character and her frustrations with the online dating world.

include the third week, when groups were tasked with sharing what differentiated them from others.

For DOOD, it meant a comical and steamy fantasy scene where Burrows’ character daydreams about her yoga instructor and, ultimately, decides to would work up the courage to ask him out.

With six missions and weeks to go, the audience will have the opportunity to vote for DOOD once again.

Groups will be whittled away as the weeks proceed — down to 15, five and, eventually, one.

CBC ComedyCoup will option a minimum of five projects for development and green light one project with $500,000 in financing to create a half-hour comedy special set for broadcast in fall 2015.

Burrows is excited for the opportunity.

“I’m just interested in a community that is creating our own work,” she said.

Of the 55 remaining groups, 15 are from B.C., and all of them are listed at being from the Lower Mainland.

CBC’s ComedyCoup is intended to support Canadian talent.

To view past videos or to create a fan account and vote for Burrows and the Dangers of Online Dating, go online to comedycoup.cbc.ca/ the-dangers-of-onlinedating.

Be a ghoul or a ghost, but don’t be a grinch HALLOWEEN WON’T BE ON A FRIDAY FOR ANOTHER 11 YEARS

H

e is the grinch of Halloween.

He doesn’t like “getting dressed up” — the fake blood, wigs or

capes.

He doesn’t like “arts and crafts,” which means carving pumpkins and stretching cotton to look like spider webs are each out of the question.

He doesn’t mind handing out candy — so long as he doesn’t have to “dress up or do any stupid arts and crafts and can just watch TV.” Like I said, he is the grinch of Halloween.

It was two years ago when I convinced him to attend a party on the spookiest night of the year, with the promise it would be pain-free.

He agreed but, when he arrived to pick me up in plain clothes — as if it were just any other night out — I thought I’d seen a ghost.

Who even does that?

Why not take five sec-

I could go on.

Needless to say, I wasn’t going to let him leave the house dressed like himself.

A couple of brainstorming ideas later and he was being wrapped up like a mummy, as if every last grinchy tendency was being squeezed out of him with each tightly-wound strip.

He was a good sport.

He had skimped down into his undergarments — stripping away some of his halloween reservations — and allowed for the winding of toilet paper around him, secured with tape.

It even looked good.

onds, draw on a moustache with a marker and say you’re Movember?

Well, that’s not my finest — or next-day friendly — idea, but I legitimately made it up in all of three seconds.

So, come on.

It’s not that hard.

Plus, you have things like the Internet: YouTube, Pinterest or a quick Google search of “last-minute DIY Halloween” and — voila.

There are so many ways to interpret it all: Classic scary to cutesy anything, comic spoof,

That was, until he had to walk.

Just a few steps and that freshly wrapped mummy unraveled along with all of my Halloween cheer.

Oops — forgot about the whole moving part.

I was mortified and worried he wouldn’t come out after the disaster that was his costume, but he smiled and went to the party with what could be scrounged back on him and taped back on.

It fell off of him for most of the night.

If mummies had hearts, his grinchy one definitely grew three sizes that day.

This year, I am again looking

for ways to persuade the grinch to be involved in the festivities beyond “staying home to hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters.”

AKA, watching TV and eating all of the candy.

Halloween is on a Friday this year.

That’s not happening again until 2025.

That’s 11 years.

There is no excuse not to get dressed up, scare the hell out of someone, gulp back some pumpkin ale, watch a horror movie, visit a haunted house, sing along to the Monster Mash or jazz up your house for the kids.

Indulge in the one day of the year when it is socially acceptable for to play public make-believe.

Go home and throw together a last-minute costume: A ghost, a ghoul — just, don’t be a grinch.

Sunset at Ke Nani Kai is a nightly ritual on a visit to Hawaii.

Hawaii, without the tourists CHERIE THIESSEN

SPECIAL TO KTW

“

travelwriterstales.com

Trust the mules,” says Buzzy Sproat, soothingly.

But, before I trust the mules, I have to trust the man himself: A grizzled, grey-bearded muleskinner in signature leather chaps.

Nine of us are about to mount a bevy of nonchalant equine relatives and plunge down the tallest sea cliff in the world.

‘The man’ is a goldplated Molokai fixture, well known in the Hawaii rodeo circuit and one of the islands’ foremost experts

on mules.

Over 40 years ago, he was the first to ride one down the route we are about to take and, when the previous owner closed the business in 1993, Buzz was the one who started it up again with local businessman Roy Horne.

“We’ve never lost anyone,” he assures us.

“Mules don’t want to commit suicide.”

So, OK, I trust the man and I give my mule, Stripe, a pat, anxious to bond as soon as possible.

Its coat is actually spotted — not striped, but Buzz tells me he named the mule Stripe to remind him this

was not a democratic operation but a dictatorship.

I hope Stripe got the message.

Then we’re off, a lumbering gait that suits us all fine because soon we’re starting down the 1,700-foot sheer drop.

Consisting of 26 switchbacks, it’s 1.5 mules wide and almost three miles down to the Kalaupapa National Historic Park, an infamous leper colony on Molokai’s central northern coast.

Open by invitation only, the well-maintained community is still home to some Hansen’s disease patients and it’s dedi-

cated to the preservation of the past and the education of future generations about a little-understood and much-feared disease.

An hour and a half later, dismounting on rubbery legs, we board the bus waiting on the verdant field.

In a tour lasting several hours, we learn about the colony’s history and stories of the remarkable, now sainted, Belgian priest who arrived here in 1873, Father Damien.

It’s a history lesson of the best kind, replete with all necessary ‘visual aids’ and steeped in atmosphere.

Soon, we’re heading back to the mules and

of the road as much as we dare.

Turning a final corner, we gasp as we find ourselves staring at the iconic tropical nirvana scene of twin waterfalls streaming from jungle cliffs.

It’s the stuff Hawaiian movies are made of.

Once we’ve inched our way down to the end, we’re off to eat coconuts, watch surfers and tumble in the friendly breakers ourselves on a wide sweep of beach shared only with two others.

High up on the adventure scale is also the hike in Kamakou Preserve’s thriving rain forest in the mountains

the plod up the cliffs.

Part-way up, we squish against several pairs of intrepid hikers who have paid for their permits to visit Kalaupapa and are now paying again — in sweat.

While some may consider this laid-back little island of 7,500 a little too quiet, even after we’ve crammed all of our adventures into two weeks, we still feel we’re leaving too soon.

The adrenaline continues on our next experience — hugging the coastal oneway road en route to Halawa on the easternmost part of the island, prodding the fringes

of East Molokai.

Guided by a naturalist who knows every inch of this pristine natural habitat, we teeter on the narrow boardwalk, eagerly crowded on both sides by over 200 species of native plants.

Traversing a mountain bog we then picnic on an aerie high above Pelekunu Valley.

But, perhaps the best thrill is when we realize we tourists are the minority here.

No worries though, the natives are friendly!

All rights reserved. © 2014 Loblaws Inc. * we match prices! Applies only to our major supermarket competitors’ flyer items. Major supermarket competitors are determined solely by us based on a number of factors which can vary by store location. We will match the competitor’s advertised price only during the effective date of the competitor’s flyer advertisement. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITIES (note that our major supermarket competitors may not). Due to the fact that product is ordered prior to the time of our Ad Match checks, quantities may be limited. We match identical items (defined as same brand, size, and attributes) and in the case of fresh produce, meat, seafood and bakery, we match a comparable item (as determined solely by us). We will not match competitors’ “multi-buys” (eg. 2 for $4), “spend x get x”, “Free”, “clearance”, discounts obtained through loyalty programs, or offers related to our third party operations (post office, gas bars, dry cleaners etc.).

We reserve the right to cancel or change the terms of this program at any time.
