CAMPAIGN REWIND

DUSTIN MCINTYRE McIntyre was expecting plenty of talk about the proposed Ajax mine and city spending on the campaign trail, but parking meters? Not so much.

“People are really upset about that,” said the 25 year-old former leader of Thompson Rivers University’s student union.

McIntyre said given the renewed focus on the issue in 2014, and the parkade debate that played a major role in the 2011 election, “parking downtown is really just a saga that keeps going and we need a council that will go in and actually fix it.”

McIntyre is the youngest candidate vying for a city council seat, a status he’s tried to emphasize.

He said he’s made extra effort to talk to other young people by visiting TRU throughout the campaign.

“They’re the people who voted me into office at the student union, so I wanted to talk with them and see what the issues are on campus,” McIntyre said.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Footprints painted with colourful chalk lead from various points around the campus to the Independent Centre, where Thompson Rivers University students voted in an advance poll this week.

General election day is tomorrow (Nov. 15), from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Go online to kamlopsthisweek.com for all your election news and go online to kamloops.ca to find out where you can cast a ballot.

ANDY PHILPOT In 2011, Philpot barely missed the mark, finishing ninth in a race for eight seats.

This time around, the retired Kamloops firefighter said his approach hasn’t changed much.

“I’m standing on my record of being dedicated to the community,

COME JOIN OUR BEAUTIFUL FOR AN EASY, AFFORDABLE LIFESTYLE

being involved in the community and that I have the integrity to do the job,” he said.

But, Philpot added, he does feel he has an advantage compared to 2011. Having run before, he said he was prepared from the moment he declared.

While he’s feeling good about his chances, Philpot believes this year’s results will be determined by what percentage of the population casts a vote, and what sectors of the population head to the ballot box.

“If it’s the same voters that came out three years ago, we could see quite an interesting council,” he said.

However, if youth and working voters are the majority, Philpot believes council will be more “businessoriented.”

GLEN THOMPSON Parking-meter talk may have caught some candidates by surprise, but Thompson is happy to see the issue blowing up in the final weeks of the campaign.

Thompson, who moved to Kamloops in the summer and has spent his days attempting to speak to as many business owners on Victoria Street and Tranquille Road as possible, said the meter issue ties into his campaign themes around supporting small business.

“When you speak to the businesses and find

out it’s really impacting their cashflow, and some of them are considering closing, and city hall doesn’t seem to be aware of this, doesn’t do any health checks to find out how many people are leaving, that kind of worries me a bit,” said Thompson.

He sees the 28 candidates as three camps: incumbents, Vision Kamloops and the rest of the challengers.

“I think a lot of voters will probably split their vote amongst the three groups,” he said.

PETER KEREK The final week of the campaign found Kerek frustrated.

After weeks filled mainly with mixers and questionnaires and one-on-one interviews, the past president of the Kamloops and District Labour Council is hungry for debate.

“I think it’s important that everybody gets to hear what everyone else has to say and respond to them,” he said.

“To come to the best decisions in a democracy, you need to have debate about ideas.”

While Kerek has been one of the campaign’s most active tweeters, debating everyone from running mates to KGHM Ajax’s communications teams, he doesn’t think those conversations about housing, Ajax and other civic issues are reaching the broader public.

CIVIC ELECTION 2014

COUNCIL CAMPAIGN REWIND From A3

PETER SHARP All Sharp wants to talk about is jobs.

“There’s not enough jobs around town,” the former city councillor and retired RCMP officer said. “There’s a lot of kids I know, and my son is one of the, who work in Alberta.”

Sharp, like other candidates, said he doesn’t feel the campaign has provided the kind of opportunities for debate for which he was hoping.

When debates have come up, they haven’t focused on job creation to the extent he’d like.

Sharp said none of his children live in Kamloops because, while there are jobs to be found in the city, they aren’t the kind that can support a family with children.

“I mean high-paying jobs, good-paying jobs,” he said. “I don’t know what they consider highpaying here, but I don’t think $15 an hour is a high-paying job.”

DENIS WALSH As the campaign

heads into its final days, Walsh is feeling confident not just about his own chances, but about the fate of his alliance, Vision Kamloops.

“I’m trying to not get too over-confident, but everyone I talk to from different walks of life, from different political stripes, one common thing seems to be that people think there needs to be a big change on council,” said Walsh, who served a previous term on city council and owns MovieMart.

Walsh thinks there could be four or five new faces on council — which would make room for all or most of his five-member slate.

Walsh said he’s enjoyed debating issues and coming up with policies in advance of the vote with the other members of his alliance.

BRAD HARRISON While he expected the Ajax mine to be one of the campaign’s top issues, Harrison said he’s a little disappointed the copper and gold mine has drawn focus from other issues

this election.

“Our position on Ajax is very clear, but I don’t think it’s as important as, say, city spending or participatory government,” said Harrison, a member of the Thompson Rivers University tourism faculty and one of five candidates running under the Vision Kamloops banner.

Until he decided to run, Harrison was president of the Kamloops Voters Society, a group with a mandate to improve voter turnout and civic participation.

Though he’s stepped away from the group in order to campaign, Harrison sees Vision Kamloops as a continuation of some of his work with the society.

“I think Vision Kamloops has livened the election up a little,” he said.

“I’m not trying to sound boastful, but I think it’s added to the interest.”

GLENN HILKE As he entered the final week of the election, Hilke hit a wall.

“I was starting to feel almost bored, in the

sense of, ‘Oh, my God, I really have to fit into this box that’s been given to us,’” he said.

So, the artist and volunteer decided to make an art project out of the election, hand-painting about 20 campaign signs.

Instead of putting the signs in the ground, Hilke recruited people from the meal program Jubilee Urban Movement and Partners (JUMP), which he helps organize, to hold the signs at intersections.

Hilke said one of the reasons the campaign has begun to chafe is because he doesn’t feel there has been enough opportunity for new candidates to hold incumbent councillors accountable for their decisions.

“I find that when the sitting councillors get criticism, and it’s sometimes from those of us that are trying to unseat them, they don’t take it well,” he said.

“Their hair stands up.”

But, he’s surprised he hasn’t had more of them.

The owner of Nu-Tech Fire and Safety and former Kamloops Chamber of Commerce president said he’s disappointed in the turnout at many of the election’s mixers, which has often been under 100 people.

Considering the purchase of an existing business? Good for you. You should be aware that there are many considerations you should take into account. Should you buy the shares or the assets of the business? Do you need to incorporate your own corporation to act as the buyer?

How is the business valued? How will your financing apply in the context of the transation? What type of investigations and due diligence searching should be done? How can you ensure you don’t inherit any of the seller’s pre-existing liabilities?

How long will it take to make the purchase? What will happen to the current employees of the business?

BOB DIENO Dieno is happy with the conversations he’s had with prospective voters on issues in the city.

SO MANY QUESTIONS THAT COULD PROVE COSTLY IF NOT ADDRESSED These questions just scratch the surface of what you should take into account when buying a business.

CIVIC ELECTION 2014

COUNCIL CAMPAIGN REWIND From A5

DIETER DUDY Dudy’s 2014 campaign couldn’t be much more different from his run in 2011.

For one thing, the Westsyde farmer is looking for a council seat rather than the mayor’s spot. And, rather than announce at the last minute, Dudy was one of the first challengers out of the gate in 2014.

He has also teamed up with the five-member Vision Kamloops slate.

“It’s helped prop up some of the people that probably wouldn’t have been noticed at all within the 28,” Dudy said. “By being part of a group of five, at least people have noticed them. Whether it resonated or not, we don’t know.”

Dudy believes city spending has been the big issue of the campaign, even if Ajax has scored more limelight.

“The next council is really going to have to wrestle with it,” he said.

“Do some core reviews, do some forensic audits to ensure we’re

spending money properly.”

DONOVAN CAVERS While some candidates are complaining about this year’s mixerheavy event schedule, Cavers isn’t one of them.

The first-term councillor and caterer said he thinks this year’s format is “friendlier” for the public, likening it to the city’s changes to budget consultations that moved from an open-mic format to roundtable discussions with residents.

“I think it seems like a bit more of an accessible election,” he said.

Cavers hopes the changes, and the efforts of the vote-promoting Kamloops Vote 50 campaign, can bring more people to the polls.

While he’s happy with his own campaign, Cavers would have liked to spend more time getting to know the other candidates one-on-one so he’d be better able to help his supporters target other candidates for which to cast a vote.

TANJA HASLER She’s not making any predictions for election day, but Hasler believes her focus on economic issues and city spending has made an impact on issues being discussed.

“I’m confident that some of the points that I’ve made have resonated with voters because I’ve picked up on themes with regard to city finances,” said Hasler, who worked in the financial industry in Switzerland before moving to Kamloops to set up a pet-grooming business.

While she expected Ajax to be one of the campaign’s major issues, Hasler didn’t expect the intensity she’s found on both sides of the issue.

“I think I was a little bit surprised at the heat around Ajax, the intensity around people’s feelings,” she said, adding it’s a conversation the community needs to carry on after the election.

“We need to have that dialogue and that’s what I support.”

KEN CHRISTIAN What would Christian do differently if he could restart his campaign?

“Not get a hip replacement,” joked the first-term councillor and former board of educa-

tion chairman, who has been using crutches or a cane during the campaign.

Mobility aside, Christian said the biggest difference between his 2011 run for office and this year is how much more he knows about the city’s operations.

“It speaks to how big this job is,” he said.

“It’s not just about being opposed to something, being a singleissue person who’s going to run for council.

“It’s about getting your head around $160 million, a thousand staff and all of the programs we’re responsible for.”

Christian believes city spending is the issue of the campaign and puts some of the blame for spending concerns on the council he’s sat on for the past three years.

“We’re part of the reason there’s an inflation problem,” he said.

“I think that’s really been driven home.”

CHERYL PHIPPEN Phippen isn’t surprised the Ajax mine has been a big topic of discussion this campaign, but it’s not the subject she hoped to spend most of her time debating.

“Any single person I told I was thinking about running, my mind’s

on sidewalks and their mind’s on what do you think about Ajax?” said Phippen, who runs a mosquito-control business.

A Barnhartvale resident who wants to represent outlying areas, Phippen said campaigning has given her a chance to learn more about the rest of the city.

“If I win, that’s fantastic. If I lose, that’s fantastic because I’ve just learned so much,” she said. “It’s been fun. I can’t wipe the smile off my face.”

Phippen is surprised how many people have wanted to talk to her about roundabouts.

“I’ve got a roundabout out in Dallas that I love, but I guess there are some downtown people are unhappy with.”

JENNY GREEN If Green began her campaign again, she’d start the process earlier.

She and other members of Vision Kamloops hopped on the ballot at the last minute and Green said she’s enjoyed a wild, eye-opening ride.

Green, who works in health promotion for Interior Health, praised all 27 of her running mates, pointing to a time she showed up to a debate late and they made sure she was able to have a turn at the mic.

“When we all come together, my experience of everyone else is very supportive and caring for each other,” she said.

Green said the response to the fivemember alliance has been mixed, but positive overall.

“You have a few people who come up and say, ‘You know what?

I’m not talking to you and I don’t support what you’re doing,’” she said.

“But, we’ve had a lot

more people say, ‘This is great.’”

BERNADETTE SIRACKY Siracky has never been so informed about a civic election.

“It’s a really nice camaraderie between all of the candidates,” said the executive director of the Kamloops Food Bank.

“We’ve now been together at 10 or 11 different venues and I’m getting to know them and their perspectives. I actually think I’m more prepared to vote this time than I’ve ever been in my life.”

From the public, she said Ajax, city spending and the proposed performing-arts centre have been the most frequent issues discussed.

But, only Ajax seems to be polarizing.

“It’s a very emotional issue and that’s a good thing because people care about our city,” she said. “So, I think it just highlights the fact that people really care.”

Siracky has been heartened by how much passion residents have for the city.

“What I hear from the conversation is just a lot of pride,” she said.

NANCY BEPPLE For Bepple, campaigning is all about conversation.

“I’ve used Twitter way more than I used to but, at the end of the day, campaigning is the same as it always has been,” said Bepple, who was completing her second term on council when she stepped down this spring for health reasons.

“You’ve got to get out and talk to people, no matter what.”

Bepple said issues have been much what she expected, with parking and Ajax at the fore-

front.

But, she’s also trying to get voters interested in the official community plan update the city will be working on over the next year.

For the most part, there haven’t been any surprises in her discussions with the public.

“I’ve gone and talked to high school kids and I’ve talked to seniors and it doesn’t seem to matter, actually, the age of people,” she said.

“They have similar concerns.”

MIKE O’REILLY O’Reilly knew he’d be looking at long, busy days when he decided to campaign for city council. But, he wasn’t expecting quite so much homework.

“Questions and emails are one thing, but the surveys associations are publishing in their newsletters and newspapers is one thing I wasn’t expecting,” said O’Reilly, who is vice-president of operations for a recently launched TV music channel.

To keep up with the steady stream of email surveys, O’Reilly said he’s beginning his days at 5:30 a.m.

While he names issues like Ajax and downtown parking as ones that have dominated the campaign, O’Reilly said he’s tried to make sure his agenda is heard by voters.

He believes his pitch to bring more family doctors to Kamloops is one that’s resonating with a large slice of the public.

“I think it reflects everyone in the community regardless of your thoughts on Ajax or this or that or parkades.”

GET OUT &

CIVIC ELECTION 2014

COUNCIL CAMPAIGN REWIND From A6

ANNETTE GLOVER Between the surveys, interviews and all-candidates mixers, Glover doesn’t think she’s held anything back from the voters of Kamloops. “It’s been very active and engaging,� said Glover, an 18-year veteran of the board of education who has now set her sights on city hall. “I feel like I put my whole self out there.�

Glover said she entered the campaign hoping to talk about accountability and finances, but feels Ajax has unnecessarily dominated the public conversation about the election. “It’s been so focused on that topic and that disappoints me,� she said. “Because there’s many topics we could talk about that are more urgent, more important to the overall population of Kamloops.�

However, in oneon-one conversations, Glover said, she’s been able to focus more on the issues she believes are important to the city and less on the mine.

REO ROCHELEAU Rocheleau is keeping his focus on the money.

The retiree entered the race with plans to cut costs by not completing an approximately $3-million repair to the sidewalk on Overlanders Bridge and to give council more oversight on small spending decisions — and he’s held to those goals.

Rocheleau believes voters are just as concerned about spending. “That’s why the voting has doubled in the thing,� he said, referring to a high number of voters who turned out to the city’s advance polls.

Among Rocheleau’s concerns are the

$650,000 score clock purchased for Interior Savings Centre in 2013 and a mini-roundabout the city installed on 12th Avenue and Nicola Street to remove stop signs from the cycling route through the downtown from Valleyview.

TINA LANGE Lange had a relatively modest strategy for her campaign.

Figuring the public likely already knew how she operated and what she stood for after three terms, Lange made reminding the public she is on the ballot her main priority. “I think if the community has decided I’ve been on council long enough, it wouldn’t matter what I did,� she said. “My goal has been just to make people aware of the fact I am running and I want to be part of the next four years.�

Lange doesn’t feel the campaign has been dominated by any one major issue and isn’t sure what role the Ajax mine debate will play come voting day. “It’s a community issue, but is it an election issue?� she said. “I don’t know.�

Though there are fewer hot topics, Lange believes community engagement is higher than in past elections, judging by the amount of emails candidates are getting from the public.

PAT WALLACE Wallace has spent plenty of time this campaign explaining how city council came to vote for a pay raise in 2013.

Wallace voted against the controversial raise, which will increase council pay by approximately $10,000 by the end of the next term, but she has fielded plenty of questions and criticisms

WESTERN SNOW PLOWS

about it nonetheless. “I don’t try to make myself a hero. I say four of us didn’t vote for it and I was one of the four,� she said.

Wallace said voters have told her it was an “embarrassment� and the timing was flawed. “We should have either had the management skills to increase it slowly or forget it.�

While Wallace thinks voters accept her argument that the pay-raise vote didn’t go her way, she said it’s hard to get a read on the outcome of the election.

Hair Spray

NELLY DEVER With a campaign team pulled largely from the client list at the fitness centre she owns, Dever believes she has one of the best-conditioned campaign teams of the election.

Since August, she and her team have made it to 10,000 homes around the city, including the outlying areas. “I think the biggest challenge this time around is how can you stand out, because there are 28 candidates, and how can we separate ourselves from the

Shampoo

pack?� said Dever, a firstterm councillor.

Dever said her eighthplace finish in the 2011 race means she’s not taking any chances.

She has tried to explain to voters what she’s been working on over the past three years, including beautification of the Tranquille Road airport gateway. “I’d be so disappointed if I wasn’t able to finish the gateway project and the agriculture project and urban agriculture,� she said.

VIEWPOINT

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK is a politically independent newspaper, published Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 1365B Dalhousie Dr. in Kamloops, B.C. V2C 5P6 Ph: 250-374-7467 | Fax: 250-374-1033 e-mail: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

ELECTION GIVES POWER TO VOTER

The beauty of a municipal election is that it empowers the voter like no other election.

When one casts a ballot in a provincial or federal election, one votes for a single candidate among a field that is usually no deeper than four names on the list.

As voter-turnout numbers plummet year after year, there has been a call from some for ballots to include “None of the Above,” to give electors a tangible foundation on which to officially register their disgust with the status quo.

Alas, None of the Above remains a rumour, destined to exist in the dreamy realm that also houses Mr. Open Pitbelly.

In the civic election, however, voters are afforded much more flexibility. In Kamloops, for example, there are 28 men and women seeking eight councillor seats. There are 15 men and women vying for five board of education spots.

When voters enter the polling station, they can vote for eight councillors or no councillors or any number in between. Same goes for the board of education ballot — if only one or two candidates turn your political crank, you can limit your choices to those one or two.

Consider it your None of the Above moment — or, at least, Not Many of the Above. *** As the election campaign winds down, keep your eyes peeled for wayward political signs.

Some candidates have called to ask that we urge the public to refrain from damaging the signs and to please collect any signs in places they should not be — whether mired in a ditch or, ahem, stuck to the wall in your teenager’s room.

(If you follow Twitter, you will know it is Miller Time! in many a teen’s social-media world).

Bottom line: Return the wayward signs and help candidates reduce their expenses.

A damn intriguing election

I

n Vancouver, the incumbent mayor has filed a defamation lawsuit against his challenger — and, during a debate, issued a blanket apology to voters for anything he may have done (or not done) during his last term in office.

In Surrey, the radio ads echo with the sound of breaking glass as a challenger to the vacant mayor’s chair warns voters not to elect a former mayor who presided over the city when crime was a serious problem.

In the Fraser Valley, eyebrow-raising tweets attacking candidates have the mayor of Abbotsford claiming his Twitter account had been hacked and a former Mission councillor adamant someone hijacked his IP address.

Meanwhile, here in Kamloops, the dominant topic in the 2015 civic-election campaign has been where the 32 mayoral and councillor candidates stand on an issue over which they have absolutely not one ounce of control.

One might demand their stance on gravity, since city hall’s power of influence over either issue is identical.

My colleague, Dale Bass, wrote last week that this civicelection campaign in Kamloops may be the worst ever.

On the contrary — between the proposed Ajax mine, the million-dollar-plus pay-parking boondoggle downtown, the ghosts of ridiculously overbudget projects, the emergence of the first slate since 1988 and

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS the most talked about schoolboard issue in recent memory, this election campaign has been nothing but interesting.

Sure, we may not have lawsuits and allegations of Twitter accounts being hacked, but Kamloops can lay claim to being home to an argument over whether a Polish-owned mining company broke a promise to not get involved in the municipal election.

Since we reported on the fact KGHM Ajax external-affairs manager Yves Lacasse sent letters to supporters, listing candidates who oppose Ajax and candidates who are waiting for more information, the fallout has been incendiary.

If you are on Twitter and happen to follow Michael Crawford, the former federal NDP candidate, you will know what I mean.

The recent exchange between Crawford and KGHM Ajax senior communications strategist Robert Koopmans has been entertaining.

KGHM has repeated it has

done nothing wrong, that it was simply sharing information gathered by a supporter who runs a pro-Ajax Facebook page.

Elections BC, however, disagreed, telling KTW Lacasse’s letter to supporters violated the Elections Act and that KGHM should have registered as a third-party sponsor before doing so.

The company has since said it now plans to register as a third-party sponsor, which tells me it knew it screwed up.

After all, if the company did nothing wrong in simply sharing information collected by someone else, why bother registering as a third-party sponsor in an election in which the company has stated it will not endorse or financially support candidates?

There will be at least one new face sitting at the city council table next month (perhaps a new, old face) and at least one new trustee, as well.

Last night (Nov. 13) at Sagebrush Theatre, KTW, CBC Radio and CFJC-TV held the final forum of this election campaign, an event featuring a mayoral Q&A and a meet-andgreet with the 28 councillor candidates.

Pick up yesterday’s edition of KTW and leaf through this issue to read more about the candidates.

5. Pedestrians usually take their lives in their hands when crossing the west side of the intersection moving across Lansdowne.

Some suggestions: 1. Extend the time allotted for pedestrians to move safely through the crosswalk.

2. Place a ‘no left turn’ light-up sign (like the new one installed on Fortune Drive) that lights up when the pedestrian walk sign is engaged.

3. Have a police presence available until motorists are familiarized with the new traffic-control signs.

These are just suggestions.

I am not a city transportation planner so I don’t know what is available but, there must be something the city can do to make the intersection safer.

Thanks so much for your attention to this matter.

CANDIDATES NEED TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ON AJAX Editor: I have some questions for the candidates.

In particular, the candidates who are running on the anti-Ajax platform — it would be helpful in the decision-making to know the following: Recognizing that, in addition to legitimate concerns with the opening of any new mine anywhere there will be unfounded and irrational concerns, why did you think it unnecessary to view the outcome of the federal and provincial assessments before deciding against the project, particularly in light of an economic

upside to our city in having the mine?

Would this be the same decision-making process you would use with other city issues?

Understanding world demand for copper will be met and stopping the Ajax mine here will simply mean another mine will go in somewhere else — who do you think is most deserving of that mine?

Where should it go?

In this place you envision the mine going instead of here, do you believe it will be unilaterally welcome?

Again, considering a mine will

go in somewhere in place of the Ajax site, how do you think that to be any benefit to the environment?

What do you believe we should learn from Mt. Polley?

Do you believe it it evidence this type of disaster is inevitable?

How do you feel about closure of Highland Valley Copper with its consequence of failure rating extreme compared to the Ajax rating of high?

Or, do you believe Mt. Polley taught us we must improve our monitoring and enforcement ensuring all mines are safe?

In thinking about the risks to

people living in close proximity to a mine, should their number be limited?

If so, to how many?

Or, should the decision be based on the probability of mishap rather than the number of people impacted?

For example, if there are concerns for a passenger aircraft’s safety, is it best to ground the plane or simply reduce the number of passengers?

Thank you for your honest and prompt replies in the online comments.

CIVIC ELECTION 2014

COUNCIL CAMPAIGN REWIND From A7

ARJUN SINGH While voters who aren’t following the candidates online may have missed it, Singh thinks the 2014 campaign has had a strange feel compared to those of the past.

“There’s been a little bit more of a negative tone in this campaign than some of the ones I’ve been involved in and that does concern

me,” he said.

“We’re all working hard on our campaigns, we all care about Kamloops and, when people start kind of going after other folks or targeting them, I think there’s a better way to do that.”

Singh said the negativity includes personal insults some of the candidates have slung at each other on Twitter and another candidate’s attempt to criticize fellow

nominees for spending money on their campaigns.

Singh would rather see people advance ideas for how to improve the city.

“My whole approach is let’s engage the community on the issues, let’s work on a broad-based level,” he said.

MARG SPINA Spina thinks she and her fellow city council incumbents have plenty to celebrate when campaign talk turns to taxation and spending.

The two-term city councillor is proud of the city’s move toward zerobased budgeting and

putting city departments under the budgetary microscope.

She also thinks council should celebrate its working relationship over the past three years.

“We get along and that’s very encouraging to people,” she said. “They have people who have great debates at the table but, once the vote’s done, we all own it.”

This campaign, however, Spina thinks the tone between some candidates has been less than congenial, with some candidates “heckling” their running mates during debates and online when they don’t

agree on the issues.

“In some ways, maybe it’s a good thing,” she said. “We see how people react under stress and pressure and how they bring their viewpoints to the table.”

ALEXANDRA PROCTOR Proctor, owner of food company Made With Love, had a plan to listen rather than advance her own plans for Kamloops.

“I wanted to talk about the issues that are important to our community and I think that’s what’s come out,” she said.

“I think the job of a city councillor is to listen

and to bring all of those views to the table and bring them to a point of centre balance.”

As far as issues she’s heard on the trail, Proctor said business and industry have come up, as have sidewalks and snow removal.

“I think our community really loves to engage,” she said.

Proctor has run a digital-only campaign this election, keeping her platform on Facebook as part of a garbage-free initiative.

“People to begin with said, ‘Oh, no, you can’t do that in politics’” she said, arguing it has won her respect from voters.

DAPHANE NELSON For Nelson, her first campaign for city council has been fast and furious.

Luckily, the office administrator said, she’s had a little help from her Vision Kamloops team.

“Everything keeps happening, but we just keep working together,” Nelson said.

“Our group has been phenomenal for keeping the momentum going.”

Nelson said the fivemember alliance has helped her keep up her stamina and given her valuable guidance on how to run a campaign.

But, she’s not making any predictions about the fate of Vision Kamloops on election day.

“It’s so scary to put yourself out there in the first place, so I’m just really grateful for the opportunity to have gone through this process,” she said.

Nelson, like some other candidates,

believes the Ajax debate has overshadowed some issues, such as city finances, she would have preferred spending more time discussing.

ANDREW MILLER Miller ran for council to talk about city spending and the Ajax mine.

Over the past weeks, Miller, an employee with the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation, has spent plenty of time talking about both.

“With all the events and stuff, it was really good,” he said.

“We did get through to a lot of people.”

While Miller noted some other candidates told him they wished for more chances to debate, he enjoyed the events geared toward one-onone discussion with voters.

“It’s tough to get all your messages out if you’re doing a 45-second soundbite,” he said.

“But, I did like the roundtable-type discussion, where people came and talked to us.”

Overall, he said he has enjoyed the experience of running.

“All the candidates I met were super friendly and helpful,” he said.

“Even the incumbents that have run before and people that had campaigned before, they gave really good advice.

“I was pretty happy.”

CIVIC ELECTION 2014

SD73 CAMPAIGN REWIND If there’s a common thread linking candidates for the KamloopsThompson board of education, it’s a frustration they were forced to talk about the closure of Stuart Wood elementary rather that other pressing issues affecting schools, as KTW reporter Dale Bass learned.

GERALD WATSON Incumbent Watson also questioned the decision by the residents’ association fighting the closure to serve legal papers on the dis-

trict in the middle of the election. “It takes away from a whole bunch of other important things to talk about,� he said.

Watson felt there had been “under-the-table animosity� in regard to the July 31, 2016, planned closure of the downtown school and he would have preferred to talk about other pressing educational issues.

ADAM JENSEN Challenger Jensen said he was surprised as

well, viewing the Stuart Wood decision as having been made and no longer an issue.

He said he would have preferred to talk more about cutbacks to custodial and library services, class size and ensuring teachers and support staff have the resources they need, relating the situation to his own background as a swimming instructor. “One year, I he had a child in a class who was clearly in the wrong level who was going to drown, so I had to pay more attention to him, at the expense of the other nine.�

JOAN COWDEN Incumbent Cowden said the Stuart Wood focus was unfortunate

and she was disappointed for the members of the audience [at the election forums] who had come to listen to issues about education.

Cowden said she thought the recent teachers’ strike/lockout has made the public more aware of “what a thankless job it is to be a school trustee.�

She said she found people were supportive of the board, having learned about what trustees have been able to do with not very much money.

class size.

Cooluris said one reality those running for school board need to address is that people don’t understand the importance of what trustees do.

MEGHAN WADE Incumbent Wade said she was delighted there were two education-focused forums, a novelty since, in past elections, there has only been one Gerald Watson organized.

Wade said one issue she would have preferred to see more discussion on involves the new curriculum created through the B.C. Education Plan, which is about to roll out into classrooms.

Wade called it a “redo of curriculum� and said it’s important for parents and teachers and support workers to have a say. “It’s the curriculum in the classroom — that’s what it’s all about,� she said.

COLIN MADLAND Challenger Madland said the Stuart Wood issue was frustrating, but he found himself in some great conversations about one of his campaign priorities — the use of technology.

He said he’s seen an increase in followers of his blog on the use of technology and has had several conversations about it over Twitter. “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the process,�

Madland said.

how School District 73 doesn’t control how much provincialgovernment money it receives. “But, we decide if it is going to administration or special education or keeping a music program,� she said. “We have the power.�

As for the role of the trustee, Karpuk said it’s crucial to education.

Noting some provinces are taking over control of school districts, she asked :“How much luck would you have calling [Education Minister] Peter Fassbender if your kid’s been bullied?�

CHRISTY CAMPBELL Challenger Campbell said she felt Stuart Wood questions took time away from good questions candidates couldn’t expand on at the forums.

Beyond that — and the reality of vandalism and theft of her campaign signs — she said the experience has been positive.

AARON SHUFLETOSKI Challenger Shufletoski said he was expecting the Stuart Wood issue to be raised, but noted it did not derail anything.

He said classroom size and curriculum were missing from the election debate, but sees those as more a provincial issue than one for local school boards.

Shufletoski said he thought there would have been more classroom-based questions from the forum earlier this week organized by the KamloopsThompson Teachers’ Association and the district parent-advisory council.

to learn, as she knocked on more than 500 doors, many people not only didn’t know the role of a trustee, but didn’t care. “I kept being asked about [proposed openpit mine] Ajax,� she said, noting those who were more aware of the education system in general were frustrated by the teachers’ strike.

She said it spoke to her belief in the value of keeping parents informed.

COLLEEN DEVEYRAC Challenger DeVeyrac was also dismayed at the lack of interest in the school-board election, noting even Vote50, an initiative promoting better participation in the Nov. 15 election, did not include school-board candidates on some of its promotional literature.

DeVeyrac said as a new candidate, there were many things she wanted to talk about. “Inclusion, specialneeds funding, class sizes, resources, supports,� she said. “Look at how many went to the [two forums]. Is it apathy about education?�

(The first forum, organized by Gerald Watson, had about 50 people attend while the second, organized by the KTTA and DPAC, had about 100.)

As municipalities across B.C. look to boost voter turnout for their Nov.15 local government elections, there’s one option they won’t have — sending voters online to fill out their ballots.

While 2.4-million voters in last month’s Ontario municipal elections had the option to vote via the Internet, the B.C. government has yet to bring in legislation allowing e-voting.

In 2013, Elections B.C. released a report arguing Internet voting presents too many security risks to be embraced for municipal and provincial elections at this time.

The report also cast doubt on whether voters are any more likely to vote when preDON KITT sented with an online option.

From A12

JOE SMALL Challenger Small also felt there is more interest in the city-council election than for school board, deploring the lack of opportunity— other than the two forums, a first in recent years for the school-board race.

Small said he was surprised to hear John Hall — president of the CUPE local, the union that represents school-district support, clerical, maintenance and technology staff, along with educational assistants — talk about low morale, something Small did not see during his years as a teacher and principal.

BARBARA MORIN Challenger Morin said she was surprised at the lack of forums for school-board candidates compared to those planned for council candidates.

She said she felt the Stuart Wood issue “pre-occupied everyone’s minds and probably turned off a lot of voters,� but felt she had run a fair and principled approach to her campaign.

MILOBAR TO DEFEND HIS SEAT? ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

With less than 48 hours remaining before the end of the Kamloops election campaign, two of the four mayoral candidates were predicting a status quo outcome to their race.

Ben James and Pierre Filisetti said they expect Mayor Peter Milobar to secure another term in office. “Realistically, Milobar’s probably going to take it again because our town favours that kind of politician at the moment,� said James, a 30 year-old North Shore resident who most famously stated he entered the election because he was bored.

Filisetti said he’s not expecting a win tomorrow either, blaming in part his lack of prepared-

ness for the mayoral campaign and a need to improve at public speaking.

Filisetti, who owns a landscaping company, said he’s struggled to speak to crowds at forums and events during the campaign and feels the issue has hampered his ability to communicate his platform of livability and improved parks and green spaces to the voting public. “All of a sudden I get very weak legs and I pretty much black out,� he said. “The thoughts disappear.�

James said his lack of campaign funds — and thus a lack of advertising and election signs — likely made mounting a serious challenge to the city’s two-term mayor much more difficult.

However, both he and Filisetti said they feel those voters they’ve spoken to one-on-one have been interested in their ideas and the campaign has been positive overall. “I’ve definitely had a good response, far better than I expected for being basically some unknown person with no money,� said James,

whose campaign platform centred on making the city more attractive to young workers who typically flock to larger centre.

Both candidates say they would consider a run for office again, with Filisetti mulling over another challenge in 2018. “At this point I say yeah, for sure, why not?� he said. “This has been a great experience.�

Neither Milobar nor the city’s fourth mayoral candidate, Dallas Paisley, responded to KTW for this story.

Candidates fielded questions on the proposed Ajax mine, term limits for councillors and changes to the B.C. Building Code, but the subject of city spending remained one of the even’s most constant themes.

Olthuis, Broncos part ways MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

uncan Olthuis is no longer the head coach of the Kamloops Broncos.

“I decided to step down because, with the ever-growing Kamloops Sports Council (KSC), it’s too much work with the head-coaching part,” said Olthuis, who took over from Rob Ellis in advance of the 2011 season.

“I can’t take up so much time with that and leave my actual job suffering.”

Broncos’ president Dino Bernardo and Olthuis met prior to the season to discuss the head coach’s future with the team.

Kamloops’ brain trust wants someone who can be wholly dedicated and the role was becoming too demanding for Olthuis, who works full-time as the KSC’s sport-and-games co-ordinator.

“I made this decision before the start of the season. It was tough making that decision, but it had to be done,” said Olthuis, who isn’t ruling out a return to coaching in some form with the Broncos.

“I was coming to work here [KSC] from eight to four and going to the field until

nine. It’s tough.

“It was getting on my wife’s nerves a bit, too.”

The B.C. Football Conference (BCFC) club is already hunting for a new bench boss, according to general manager Jan Antons.

It doesn’t pay well to be the head coach of the Broncos — an honorarium covers travel costs and time commitment — and it requires a great deal of dedication, both during the off-season, when it’s recruiting time, and during the season, from August to October.

The fourth head coach in team history — Ellis, Darryl Chow and Stefen Reid preceded him — was finding it tough to fulfil both commitments.

Responsibilities with the KSC kept Olthuis from attending a highschool football showcase game in Alberta last spring, for example, and events such as the Kamloops Legacy Performance Games, held in July, hinder his ability to be with the team.

Olthuis compiled a 12-27-1 record in four seasons with the junior-football club, the Broncos clinching their first playoff berth in franchise history in 2013, despite a 2-7-1 mark.

Kamloops had its best campaign to date in 2014, going 6-4 before falling just shy of a post-season vic-

Welcoming Winnipeg

There’s no doubt TRU WolfPack volleyball is trending in the right direction of late.

The Pack will look to continue their winning ways this weekend as they play host to the Winnipeg Wesmen today (Nov. 14) and tomorrow.

TRU’s women will play the Wesmen at 6 p.m. today and 5 p.m. tomorrow, while the men are slated to go at 7:45 p.m. and 6:45 p.m.

Both WolfPack clubs enter the weekend riding a recent string of victories.

The men, who started the season at 0-7, have won their last three matches and look to be righting the ship.

But, at 3-7, the Pack sit in ninth place in the Canada West and still have work to do. Right now, they’re on the outside looking in at the playoff picture.

The Wesmen visit the Tournament Capital Centre boasting a 7-1 record. The club’s only loss came against the Saskatchewan Huskies.

It’s no accident the WolfPack’s strong play coincides with the return to the lineup of right-side Brad Gunter.

Gunter, who missed eight matches with a dislocated finger, had 39 kills on 76 opportunities, three service aces, 21 digs, a solo block and six block assists in his two-game return against the Brandon Bobcats last weekend.

On the women’s side, the WolfPack continues to benefit from Canada West rookie Iuliia Pakhomenko’s breakout season.

Pakhomenko has led the WolfPack to a 5-5 record and sixth overall in the Canada West. The women will play host to the eighth-place Wesmen women, who are 4-4 on the season.

In action against the Bobcats last weekend, Pakhomenko recorded 38 kills on 72 opportunities in a pair of matches.

She also had five service aces, 13 digs, two solo blocks and three block assists. She was named the Canada West’s second star.

The WolfPack’s basketball teams are on the road to face Edmonton’s MacEwan University Griffins.

Both TRU clubs are 2-0 to start the season.

REVIVE TRU HOCKEY TO MEET WITH OLYNYK MONDAY MEETING MAY DETERMINE TEAM’S FUTURE

ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

If the WolfPack hockey team is to make a return to the ice in Kamloops, it will need the support of the athletics department at Thompson Rivers University.

Next week, advocates of the team will get an idea of whether they have that support.

Trevor Bast, the driving force behind a group called Revive TRU Hockey, is scheduled to meet with TRU athletics director Ken Olynyk on Monday, Nov. 17, and is hoping

to discuss “potential reinstatement for the 2015-2016 season,” Bast said.

Olynyk told KTW he’s not sure what will be discussed at the Monday meeting.

Olynyk agreed to meet with Bast to discuss the team and its future, but warned the athletics department couldn’t provide any financial support.

At the meeting, he plans to present a fivepart proposal for reviving the program.

Included in the proposal will be a budget for running the team, a revenue model and sponsorship commitments, the current hockey operations group, a recruitment plan and testimonials on the value of the program.

Among those testimonials will be an online petition that has been circulated in recent weeks. The petition had 584 electronic signatures as of KTW’s press deadline.

“We’re hoping that that shows we’ve done enough work to justify a conditional approval, based on a list of ‘subject-tos’ that we have to adhere to over a two-month period or so,” Bast said of the proposal.

He’s hoping the team can follow up in January after it has had time to work with the university’s conditional acceptance. That would allow the group time to solicit firm sponsorship, as most sponsors are looking for a relationship with the university to be in place before commit-

ting support.

Bast said the “barebones” budget he will present to Olynyk shows the team can be operated for about $80,000. His numbers have been vetted by other clubs in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League (BCIHL).

The proposed WolfPack team has two assistant coaches committed thus far — Cody Lockwood and Andrew Fisher, both alumni of the program — but still needs a general manager and a head coach.

Bast said former head coach Don Schulz is not interested in

returning to the team.

Bast founded Revive TRU Hockey at the end of August 2014. His son, Desmond, was the last recruit to commit to TRU before the program was cancelled for 2014-2015.

As it turns out, Desmond might not have been able to play anyway, shouldered with a heavy course load at TRU. That might be the case should the program be revived, too, but his father is no less committed to getting the program up and running.

“To me, just reading the articles about

why it collapsed, it just didn’t make sense to me that it collapsed for what I consider a small amount of money in the hockey world; a large amount of money in my world, but a small amount of money in the whole hockey/ university world,” Bast said.

“Between 20- or 30-thousand dollars could have saved this season and then they could have got their act together moving forward.

Westsyde Island-bound for playoff tilt MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Westsyde Blue Wave are kings of the Kamloops high-school football scene.

“It’s been a long time coming,” Westsyde head coach Cleve Maartman told KTW. “In some ways, it was a surprise but, after a while, it turned out our team showed up to play.”

With a 48-17 victory over the Prince George Polars at Hillside Stadium on Friday, Nov. 7, the Blue Wave earned a berth in the B.C. High School Football Subway Bowl AA provincial playoffs.

In their Round 1 matchup, Westsyde will square off with the hometown Ballenas Whalers tomorrow (Nov. 15) on Vancouver Island.

“I think we have a 50-50 chance if everything goes our way,” said Maartman, now in his fourth season coaching at Westsyde.

“We’ve had no injuries. We still have stuff to prove.”

Westsyde fields a team of about 26 players — 10 each in Grade 12 and Grade 11 and six Grade 10s — and it appears the program should remain healthy in the near future, with about 30 players on the 2014 junior-varsity team.

The Blue Wave opened their regular-season Okanagan AA Varsity Conference schedule on

Oct. 3 with a thrilling comeback victory over the Clarence Fulton Maroons of Vernon, scoring a touchdown with less than two minutes to play to secure the win.

Westsyde squeaked past the South Kamloops Titans 12-7 on Oct. 10 before moving to 3-0 with a 38-6 triumph over the Valleyview Vikings on Oct. 17.

The Vernon Panthers, the conference’s No. 1-ranked team, rolled over the Blue Wave 42-7 on Oct. 24.

Head coach Pete Mercuri and the Titans posted a 1-3 record, while the Vikings, under head coach Brian Young, were 0-4. Both squads missed the playoffs.

Westsyde has been paced by players such as Dayton Schädlich, Kohl Hrycewich, Colton Mcmechan, Nick Minter, Darnel Pasmen and Andrew McCaffery, each of whom owe a lot to a pair of coaches who stepped in during the labour dispute between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the provincial government.

“Ryan Moffett and Stefen Reid kept the group together through the strike,” Maartman said.

“If it wasn’t for those two guys and our booster club and the community out here, making sure these kids have an opportunity to play . . . it really has paid off for them.”

Many of the seniors contributing to the Blue Wave’s success have stuck with pigskin, rising up

through the Kamloops Community Football ranks and remaining dedicated during losing seasons at Westsyde.

“If you remember, even last year, we’d be blown out in the first quarter in most of these game,” said Maartman, whose charges make the trip to Vancouver Island today.

“The core has played from Grade 7 to Grade 12 and that’s what’s allowed us to win some of these games.

“If you stick with it and play every year, the rewards will come.”

Ballenas is favoured to dispose of Westsyde, but the result is no foregone conclusion.

Should the Blue Wave advance, they will meet the winner of a tilt between Hugh Boyd of Richmond and GW Graham of Chilliwack in the quarter-final round next weekend.

“We knew if we kept working at it that we would have a chance to compete in these games,” Maartman said.

“I’m still waiting to see what our potential is.”

Classics swim club off to strong start in fall season ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Classic swim club has had a busy few weeks as the fall season is in full swing.

Recently, the club played host to a regional swim camp in the Tournament Capital.

Classics coach Brad Dalke said 40 regional swimmers were selected by Swim B.C. to attend the camp.

The event featured keynote speaker Brent Hayden. Hayden swam for Canada in the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London, capturing bronze in the 100-metre freestyle.

“He kind of put them through the paces

and did his talks and stuff,” Dalke said.

“It was kind of cool for Brent because he’s a Mission-Chilliwack boy and he’d come up here and done lots of racing here in Kamloops.”

The day following the camp, the provincial prospects team worked out and had the opportunity to have stroke analyses done and speak with sports psychologists.

The provincial prospects team includes 36 swimmers selected from around the province. Only the nine located in the Interior region worked out at the Kamloops camp, of which five were River City products.

Classic swimmer

Colin Gilbert has also had a busy few weeks, selected to attend a junior national team event in Toronto from Oct. 18 to Oct. 25.

Gilbert and fellow swimmer Ethan Phillips were also selected to a tier 1 provincial team recently.

Dalke described the team as the highestlevel team in the province. It helps to provide support and funding for training programs and activities, like the Classics dry-land training program.

Finally, Dalke said the team has had regions-level swim meets running throughout the last few weeks.

Just this last weekend, the club competed in

“We were really, really excited with [it],” Dalke said. “We had 25 kids at the competition and out of the 25,

the part that was really exciting is we had 20 kids make their second swims.

MUG SHOTS CRIMES OF THE WEEK COMMERCIALBREAK ANDENTER

ANDREW SNUCINS/WOLFPACK ATHLETICS

Despite missing the 2014-2015 season, proponents of the TRU WolfPack hockey program hope they can have things back up and running for 2015-2016.

Supporters believe Pack can raise needed money From page A16

“It just makes too much sense,” Bast continued. “It wasn’t insurmountable. We weren’t half a million dollars short.”

Bast is realistic about the team’s future.

He knows it would play in a market already saturated by sponsorship requests and getting financial support won’t be a walk in the park.

But, with an increase to player fees, the team would start the drive with about $40,000 in the bank. It would then need to raise the remaining $40,000.

“Everybody has a belief that we can raise that kind of money,” Bast said, recalling conversations he has had with program alumni and community members.

“It’s not a ton of money for the value that the program holds.”

Part of the model Trevor wants implemented harkens back to the beginnings of the WolfPack hockey team.

In its first season in the BCIHL, the WolfPack boasted 14 Kamloops-born players. That number decreased with each subsequent season. The team had only three Kamloopsians in the 2013-2014 season.

Bast’s belief is with a larger contingent locals, the WolfPack will get more community support, better game attendance and revenue and will again begin to thrive in the Tournament Capital.

Once the program is back up and running, Bast hopes to be

able to pass the operations of the team to a Kamloops-based group.

He would hope to remain involved should a non-profit board be needed.

Regardless of the model, he said the team needs to look out for itself, first and foremost.

“I think the program should always run on the assumption that we have to make it happen ourselves and not be bitter about it and just do it,” he said.

“I think if you approach every single season that way and have a lot of hard-working players involved in the community, I think the sponsorship and stuff like that will take care of itself.”

The team would also need approval from the BCIHL.

NELSON RINK EXTENDS SUPER LEAGUE WINNING STREAK

The Sun Life Financial Super League’s Week 5 draws were played at Kamloops Curling Club on Monday, Nov. 10.

Team Nelson (KGHM Ajax Mining Inc.) made it four consecutive wins and kept its place atop the standings with a 6-2 victory over Ihlen (Alpine Building Maintenance).

DeCap (Hub Barton International Insurance) moved into second place with an 11-5 victory over Olsen (Subway).

Thompson (BA Dawson Blacktop) cruised to a 12-3 victory over Brown (Rivershore Ram) and Klymchuk edged Russett (Wrable Brothers Construction) 6-4.

WolfPack women’s vball honoured The TRU WolfPack women’s volleyball team netted an honourable mention in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport Top 10 rankings earlier this week.

It’s the first time the club has been on the list in five years.

The women have been on a roll of late and their 5-5 record has them in sole possession of sixth place in the Canada West conference.

Brandon was ranked No. 2 on the list. The WolfPack earned a split in their recent weekend showdown with the Manitoba club.

Alberta (first), UBC-Okanagan (sixth), UBC (seventh), Trinity Western (eighth), Calgary (ninth) and Manitoba (honourable mention) also appeared on the list.

On Sunday November 9th at approximately 2:30 am, police were called an alarm at Canadian Auto Repair Sevices on the 200 block of West Victoria St. There was extensive damage to the front of the shop and it was determined that a Chevy SUV had been stolen. Police made patrols and located the stolen vehicle in the Guerin Creek area, a second vehicle, a Toyota pickup truck was subsequently stolen. The second vehicle was located several hours later on the East Shuswap rd.

West Victoria St. is a busy area and with the amount of damage that occurred, someone would have heard the glass breaking or may have been driving by and saw the activity in front or the building.

What the suspects did leave behind will be very useful for the Kamloops Identification Section, as they examined the scene and vehicles that were recovered.

If you have any information on this break and enter or may have seen the vehicles being dropped off, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will remain anonymous and only your information will be used.

THIEF TAKES POPPY BOX Although Remembrance Day has passed for another year, a thief has taken advantage of the kind donations made to the Legions’ poppy donation campaign.

On Saturday November 1st, shortly before 4:00 pm, a lone male entered the Cob’s Bakery on Columbia St., the male looked around for a short period of time, then grabbed the poppy donation box and ran out of the store. Unfortunately the photo is not that great of quality but he is

described as follows; a Caucasian male, 40 years old, balding with salt and pepper hair, wearing a black leather jacket, jeans and was caring a black back pack.

I wish you wouldn’t cry The way you did today While thinking of the many things We did not get to say I know how much you love me As much as I love you Each time that you think of me I know you will miss me too When tomorrow starts without me Please try to understand That an angel came and called my name And took me by the hand The angel said my place was ready In Heaven far above And that I would have to leave behind All those I dearly love

But when I walked through Heaven’s Gates I felt so much at home When GOD looked down and smiled at me From his golden throne

So when tomorrow starts without me Do not think we’re apart For everytime you think of me Remember I’m right here in your heart.

Her parents were born in Russia and they were a very hardworking farm family. In 1949 she married Jack Fitzpatrick in Langley and they were blessed with 4 healthy children. They lived on a mini-farm until 1964, then moved to Cache Creek where Jack worked for BC Hydro and mom grew the children and kept a beautiful warm home. In 1973 they moved to Kimberley, and in 2009 Mom moved to Kamloops as a widow. Mom adored her family and always encouraged us to work hard and test our wings. And then use them! She worked hard all her life, getting great pleasure from her garden and home. She spoiled us with jams, baked & pickled goods, not to forget her Sunday night dinners; her creativity produced quilts and blankets and many hand sewn treasures.

The Angel On Your Shoulder

By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin

There’s an angel on your shoulder Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care.

There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul.

She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side.

In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right.

In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light.

Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder.

Balbar jury shown Mr. Big video TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man accused of killing his girlfriend more than a decade ago sat with his back to the jury as court watched a police video of him detailing the murder to an undercover cop posing as a powerful gang leader.

Robert Balbar is charged with one count of second-degree murder in the 2003 death of his live-in girlfriend, Heather Hamill. His trial began on Tuesday, Nov. 12.

Balbar, 42, showed no emotion as jurors watched an 80-minute video in which he details Hamill’s murder and the elaborate steps he took to clean up the evidence after the fact.

In the video, Balbar speaks in a matter-of-fact tone describing the altercation that led to Hamill’s death. He said it started when Hamill, 31, waved a machete inside the North Kamloops apartment the couple shared, threatening to harm Balbar’s son.

Balbar said he picked up a hammer and struck Hamill in the head.

“I think I whacked her a couple times just enough to knock

[web-extra]

Updated stories online at kamloopsthisweek.com her out,” he said.

“Then she started tripping out about calling the cops or whatever.

“I was just gonna knock her upside the head and take the machete away and, hopefully, she would come to her senses.”

The purported crime boss — actually a high-ranking Mountie who had taken part in more than 200 Mr. Big investigations — then asked Balbar what made him “finish her off.”

“Well, she wanted to go to the cops and the hospital and shit,” he said.

“She wanted to f—ing take off and I wasn’t going to have the heat come down on me.”

Balbar said he beat Hamill with a hammer and a mallet until she “stopped blowing bubbles.”

He put her body inside a large cooler, court heard, and cleaned up the crime scene. He said her body kept “twitching” until the following day.

“I pretty much disposed of everything there,” he said.

“Pretty well everything was gone.

“Probably the main everything was cleaned up in one week, but I stretched out the thoroughness for probably a month.”

Balbar told the undercover Mountie he burned some of the evidence in a barrel on a property in Westsyde. He also had the linoleum, carpet and insulation replaced in his apartment.

In the video, Balbar told the officer Kamloops Mounties visited his apartment after Hamill disappeared in late-July 2003.

He said one of the officers even sat on the cooler her body was stored in.

Balbar said he eventually dumped the body in the North Thompson River. It was found floating in the river by a jogger at Indian Point on Aug. 1, 2003.

The trial — the first Mr. Big trial since the Supreme Court of Canada issued a ruling limiting the RCMP’s ability to use the elaborate undercover technique — is expected to run into early December.

This is Balbar’s second murder trial. The outcome of a previous trial was appealed and last year he was ordered to stand trial again.

Anita Wilks, senior manager of communications for the College of Dental Surgeons of B.C., said Rishiraj “has changed his practice to ensure the safety of the public and the College is confident no other patients are at risk.”

Jerome Marburg, registrar and CEO of the College, said that, after the Nov. 7 incident with the teen, the college inspected the clinic and Rishiraj made changes, including employing additional medical staff.

The College is holding the hearing into allegations Rishiraj broke the professional body’s bylaws by: • using the anesthetic procedures, although the clinic and Rishiraj himself were not approved to do so; • failing to recognize the cardiac arrest in a timely way and, as a result, resuscitative measures were delayed; • advertising his clinic online as “an approved non-hospital and certified IV facility,” when such was not true.

• not having the

.*--&3

required training to use propofol, a sedation anesthesia drug that has been linked to the deaths of comedian Joan Rivers and musician Michael Jackson; • failing to monitor adequately sedated patients during surgery.

A ruling is not expected until the spring and, if it is rendered against Rishiraj, there will be a penalty hearing levied afterwards.

A message on the contact phone number for Rishiraj’s office, at 474 Columbia St., said it is closed until Monday, Nov. 17.

Put that duckface to good use this Saturday

Election selfies may be frowned upon, but they could help voter turnout

Y

ou just voted in the municipal election.

You exercised your democratic right and helped shape your community for the next four years, just days after paying homage to Canadian soldiers who died for your freedom to do so.

You’re proud to share how much you care about your community.

So, naturally — it’s time to take a selfie.

If there’s any time to snap the famed self-portrait and post it to social media, voting surely merits the online exposure.

The harmless pictures have been snapped for so much less — a night out, a

JESSICA WALLACE

Generation

GAP

haircut, another night out.

Scrolling through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram feeds, it’s nearly impossible to miss the photo-ops.

The selfie even made its way to the red carpet this year when Ellen DeGeneres effectively broke Twitter after posing with A-list stars at the Oscars.

It only seems natural that the trend has

m made its way into votiing stations.

But, before you pull o out your camera phone o on Saturday while hittting the polls for the m municipal election, k know that the backd drop for your next selfiie could be a jail cell.

Stephanie Nichols, deputy chief election officer for the City of Kamloops, said election selfies are not encouraged because they can jeopardize the secrecy of a ballot, an election offence that can result in a penalty of up to $10,000 or even imprisonment under the Local Government Act. Even if you omit your own ballot from the photo, you could accidently snap someone else’s while innocently giving the camera a thumbs-up

and a little wink on voting day.

Nichols said it wasn’t an issue during the last municipal election in Kamloops.

But, it’s come up around the world in the three years since.

In May, the BBC reported concerns about selfies raised by the Electoral Commission during elections in the United Kingdom.

In Ontario’s June provincial election, a Globe and Mail writer tweeted a photo of his marked ballot and Elections Ontario requested he take it down.

During Brazil’s general election in October, the Associated Press reported it is illegal to take selfies at voting booths in the South American coun-

try, plain and simple.

Huh? What’s the big deal?

It’s a selfie.

With record-breaking crappy voter turnouts in recent years, you’d think elections at any level could use all of the publicity they can get.

Just imagine channeling some of DeGeneres’ selfie power into the political process.

The possibilities are endless.

What if, instead of duckfaces, we promoted our civic duty, inspiring others to get out and cast a ballot.

Or, even struck a pose just to innocently remind people that it’s voting day — it is on a Saturday, after all.

You could even include a pouty face if you so wished.

Try this caption with it: “Voter turnout in Kamloops was 29 per cent last election.”

Pouty face.

Kamloops Vote 50 would meet its goal in no time.

While Nichols warns people not to use their cellphones or cameras in voting areas, she encourages voters to take a photo with their ‘I voted’ sticker after voting and away from the polls.

Bah, humbug.

The earlier we can all spread the word, the better.

I say we sneak selfies in the voting stations.

It wouldn’t be difficult with our expertise, a techno-generation raised on cellphones with which you had to physically turn the phone around and Hail

Mary-click your way to finding an image of your face on the screen.

We’re all pros now, so it should be no trouble concealing the secrecy of it all and protecting the sanctity of the election.

I’ll be snapping a selfie on Saturday after marking my own ballot.

I hope we all break Twitter.

Q and A,‘I see hair as fabric’

T

he other day, while driving around town with my husband, we became engaged in a conversation about the difference between art and craft.

He suggested building speakers could be considered art because of all the time and care that goes into the conception and execution of something that can put out beautiful sound and therefore evoke emotion.

I said it was craft because the speakers have a function.

In order for an object to be a piece of art, it cannot have any function other than to sit there and be aesthetically/emotionally pleasing or stimulating to the viewer.

Speakers have a function no matter how beautifully or creatively they are put together.

He didn’t buy my argument and, in the end, we agreed to disagree.

This made me think about fashion and hair design.

Does a haircut have function?

What about a hair style or design?

It is three-dimensional.

Is a hair design created for purely aesthetic reasons considered a sculpture and, therefore, art?

I think most artists would say no.

But, I’m not so sure, the definitions of art are changing and I think maybe we should be open to the evolution of the creative medium and different artistic expressions.

The following is a question-and-answer interview with stylist and salon owner

B3

If it’s hot, your pet may be in trouble! The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with the windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill your pet.

Kamloops & District Elizabeth Fry Society would like to say

Thank You!

KARLA PEARCE

Creative

EDGE

Davide Fattor.

Q: Please tell us a bit about yourself and what you do.

A: I’ve been in the beauty industry for 30 years and have been a salon owner for 20.

La Dolcevita was opened in 2001 and I co-own it with Shelley Battistella.

After all these years, I am still active behind the chair four days a week and I’m also part of La Biosthetique Canadian artistic team.

Q: What is it that draws you to hair styling?

A: I see hair as fabric, therefore, it has to be threaded as such.

The texture and length of the hair determines how the cut will fall and move.

It is important to understand that texture is also important in building shape and volume.

Q: Describe your creative process.

A: The client is a big part of the process because they give you guidance and input on what to do.

The consultation is vital for the outcome, therefore the process is based on that.

Even if given carte blanche [blank cheque], I would still consult.

Q: What are some of your creative challenges?

A: Interpreting the client can be difficult.

That is why there

are certain questions I ask to eliminate errors.

Sometimes asking what one does not like is more important than to know what she likes.

Q: Speaking as an expert colourist, what is the most difficult colour to work with?

A: Colors can be challenging because what is a shade to one can be different to another.

Not all reds are the same and some are not even red.

Q: What is the best part of being a stylist?

A: The best thing about my work is the reaction of clients after a makeover.

Often stylists give cuts that look great but are difficult for clients

to duplicate at home therefore their reaction six weeks later is just as appreciated.

This is the only industry where a client comes in with a smile, pays you for something that she knows will not last, leaves with a smile knowing that the process has to start all over again in five to six weeks.

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Ajax Mine Project LISTINGS

Public Comment Period and Information Sessions

KGHM Ajax Mining Inc. is proposing the construction and operation of the Ajax Mine Project, a copper-gold mine located near the city of Kamloops, British Columbia (B.C). The Project has an expected mine life of up to 23 years with a production capacity of approximately 60,000 tonnes of mineral ore per day.

The Ajax Mine Project is subject to review under both the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Act and is undergoing a cooperative environmental assessment.

Public Comment Period The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (the Agency) and B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) are inviting the public to comment on revisions to the environmental assessment information requirements that result from changes to the mine plan for the Ajax Mine Project.

The Agency and the EAO have recently revised the Application Information Requirements / Environmental Impact Statement Guidelines (AIR / EIS Guidelines) to reflect the proponent’s changes to the layout and design of the project. The AIR / EIS Guidelines provide direction regarding the studies, methods and information the proponent is required to include in the preparation of its Application / EIS document. The proponent’s Application / EIS will describe the new project design and layout, and provide the assessment results for the potential environmental, heritage, health, social, and economic effects of all phases of the project.

The revised AIR / EIS Guidelines document is available online on the EAO’s website at www.eao.gov.bc.ca.

The revised AIR / EIS Guidelines and a summary of the document will be available on the Agency’s website, www.ceaa-acee.gc.ca, as of November 18, 2014. Additional information regarding the environmental assessment process for the Project is available on either website.

The public comment period is from November 18, 2014 to December 18, 2014. The Agency and the EAO accept public comments during that time submitted by any of the following means:

By Online Form: www.eao.gov.bc.ca

a bottle drive, telemarketing campaign and in-person meetings with local businesses for in-kind donations.

The funds will help Volunteer Kamloops run existing programs and expand new initiatives including a youth program and a stress-management workshop for volunteer leaders.

The partnership involved individual mentoring and skillbuilding for the students.

Van Dyk said she was impressed with the dedication to helping the students learn the practical application of their studies.

Student satisfaction with the assignment was also high.

“I think the assignment was a valuable experience that I can add to my resume,” said student Lance Tran.

“It was a great pleasure and I learned I need more practise in order to succeed in this field.”

Several of the international students involved noted that, as a result of the project, they connected to the greater Kamloops community; an outcome that excited Ladd, who joined Kalsi to lead this project in the hopes it would tie in nicely with the Culturally Welcoming program she’s taking on at Volunteer Kamloops.

Each student involved had something special to offer, as well.

One student withlanguage difficulties met with Kalsi, who helped direct her to target her sales efforts at businesses related to her own cultural background.

This philosophy resonates with the

Q: When will the Mission Hill development be completed?

A: Kyle Braithwaite, development manager of Brentwood Developments behind Mission Hill, said a timeline has not been set for any new construction at the residential development, located along the Summit Connector.

Braithwaite said phase two — a 40-unit building with a parkade — will proceed when units in the first building sell.

The first building was completed between 18 months and two years ago, and 24 of the 54 units remain for sale.

Braithwaite attributed it to a “slow market overall,” but said momentum has picked up on sales.

“We’re selling approximately one to two units per month,” he said.

A $15,000 incentive was recently offered for the next five units closed before the end of the year, of which three remain.

Braithwaite said about a dozen or so more units sold would trigger the next development.

The development was pitched as a five-building luxury condominium complex by Kamloops developer Mike Rink before it fell into receivership.

Edmonton-based developer Brentwood Developments was hired to complete construction.

Mission Hill will not continue construction until more of the units sell from its first completed building.

JAMIE ROSS/TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES

Quebec, a European-style winter wonderland JAMIE ROSS

TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES TRAVE

S

omehow a family ski trip has become an annual March Break tradition — not surprising, since my wife is passionate about skiing.

I’m okay with that, with the tiny proviso that every year we experience someplace different, a new, unique and charming locale.

This year, that would be Quebec, where winter is a season to be celebrated in toques and mitts — whether at the annual

Quebec Carnival, with a stay in the Hotel du Glace, skiing the nearby slopes of Mont Ste.Anne and Le Massif, or snowshoeing, camping and ziplining in the Outaouais.

Quebec City is a 400-year-old fortified city, full of historic sights and superb restaurants.

Wandering the old city’s cobbled, snow-laden streets, sampling fondue and touring the Ice Hotel, all served as my kids’ first introduction to a European-style winter experience.

Enjoy the city by night and hit the slopes by day.

The mountains sur-

rounding the historic city — Mont-SainteAnne and Le Massif — boast enough diversity that, regardless of ability, there’s compelling terrain.

Long, meandering, easy-to-conquer runs snake down the sides of both resorts, but there are also steep slopes and glades galore for experts.

Mont-Sainte-Anne

Thirty minutes from Quebec City, MontSainte-Anne tempts skiers and snowboarders with 67 trails spanning three sides of the mountain.

It’s known for its slick, race-steep runs

on the north side and black forest glades on the south.

Charlevoix

I have skied many beautiful resorts around the world, but few compare with Le Massif de Charlevoix.

Here, you actually arrive at the main lodge at the top of the mountain and ski down toward the banks of the Saint Lawrence River.

The views are spectacular, sweeping eastward, the tide coming in from the Atlantic and the ice breaking up on the river.

Le Massif is the most exciting resort on

the Canadian ski map right now, the inspiration of Cirque du Soleil co-founder Daniel Gauthier.

With eastern Canada’s largest vertical drop, Le Massif offers supreme skiing and snowboarding on 53 trails.

The best way to get there is a leisurely onehour train ride from Quebec City.

The route runs along the scenic St. Lawrence River, with vistas of waterfalls, wooded hills and the spectacular Charlevoix landscape.

After four days

of downhill skiing near Quebec City, we headed west to the Outaouais to do some cross-country skiing in magnificent Gatineau Park and snowshoeing in Kenauk Nature.

Located just across the Ottawa River, minutes from downtown Ottawa, Gatineau has one of the largest networks of cross-country ski trails in North America. It boasts more than 200 kilometres of groomed runs and 45 kilometres of back-country trails.

There are day shelters with wood-burning stoves and cabins and yurts for overnight stays.

a good winter celebration in Quebec.

My wife and I found that the coolest place for a cocktail is in a bar made of ice and a new food we crave is some hot maple syrup on the snow at a mid-mountain sugar shack.

Our accommodations included a bed of ice at the Hotel du Glace, a ski chalet with the fire crackling in Mont-Sainte-Anne and a quiet cabin in the woods at Kenauk Nature — cozy and classy.

FAITH

Making sense of disasters: Manmade or natural

T

wo major anniversaries are being observed this month on two different continents and with varied emotions.

The 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall is a cause of major celebration in Germany, with songs and music by souls set free from separation and division.

On the other side of the world, the first anniversary of Super Typhoon Haiyan that hit the island nation of the Philippines, with much loss of lives and intense property damages, also falls in November.

It’s heartening to learn this week the Canadian government is fast-tracking family sponsorship of some of the victims of the typhoon, including orphans left behind, to settle down in Canada.

NARAYAN MITRA

You Gotta Have

FAITH

I wish I could distance myself from the accompanying questions raised by manmade or natural disasters on such gigantic scales affecting huge number of lives.

In some ways, it is easier for me to address human needs than to process such disasters, particularly natural ones, theologically — to find the reasons for mass suffering and death.

As the death toll mounted in the Philippines a year ago,

questions gnawed at my soul: Why all of this meaningless madness of epic proportions?

It’s estimated the Berlin Wall accounted for 1,300 lives lost in pursuit of freedom.

Is God telling us something specific?

On one hand, I wish I knew a final and definite answer. But, that requires me to be God. Barring such possibility, I can propose some tentative responses with scriptural and circumstantial warrants.

The causes for unexplainable natural disasters are complicated since the perpetrators seem invisible and their purposes incomprehensible (unlike manmade disasters, like uprooting of lives where we can identify someone or group to blame).

The Bible does speak about God’s judgment on sin through

She’s BACK! ...but only for a short time!

natural disasters.

The flood was directly related to human sin, as was the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

God’s righteousness, in combination with his mercy and goodness, calls for judging sin with restraint.

The most radical event in the early history of the earth was humankind’s fall away from God. The mother-of-alldisasters put earth under God’s curse, and humanity lost immediate existential relationship to him.

Earth is not heaven and, often, feels like hell — for it is groaning, grunting and growling in futility.

Our blue planet is still paying for mankind’s original departure from the Creator.

That fall feature comes close to the best biblical explanation for natural cataclysms.

Yet, the issue of

death’s randomness remains.

Why do disasters seem so arbitrary and haphazard?

Why are ‘good’ people affected as much as ‘bad’ ones?

And why are some bad people spared?

The question of apparent randomness brings us to the demonic factor in executing natural disasters.

Whether directly or indirectly, we factor in Satan’s role in human suffering and death.

Satan defied God’s sovereignty, cast out of heaven to earth.

Our earth began to shudder and continues to tremble. That could explain why there are earthquakes, occurring almost daily.

Only when humans are present do complex natural phenomena — many of them observable to physicists — turn into disasters.

If no one died, we

would have simply viewed it as natural, even normal, events.

Cataclysms only turn into catastrophes when humans are affected.

Nature is wobbly, infected and terrorized

by Satan.

He has been thrown down from heaven in eternity and toppled on earth in history.

Natural disasters are not “acts of God,” as the insurance industry would describe them.

They could easily be “acts of Satan.”

We can underestimate Satan’s power, but anything he does is under the determinative control of God. When God’s plans for this worn earth are done, the sovereign Creator will create the new earth, one totally attached to him.

But disasters, sadly, provoke mankind’s resistance and defiance of God. Christians can

function as watchmen warning people of future disaster and respectfully pleading for the apathetic to awaken and the defiant to become compliant to God’s terms for spiritual salvation (Ezekiel 33:1-6).

Added to that, on a temporal level at least, disasters bring out the best in compassion and community.

The whole world — united for search and rescue, recovery and aid, love and unity, relief and development — is fulfillment of God’s mission through human hands.

Christians, with their special obligation to love their neighbours and especially to do good to the household of faith (Galatians 6:10), ought to serve in the forefront of relief efforts with unselfish abandon and generosity. mitraryan225 @yahoo.ca

How to write a classified ad that works

Writing an effective classified ad is easy when you know how. What follows is a step-bystep guide focusing on the time-tested principles of a successful ad • Use a keyword. Start your ad with the item for sale, the service offered or the job title.

• Be descriptive. Give customers a reason to respond. Advertises have found that the more information you provide, the better the response.

• Limit abbreviations. Use only standard abbreviations to avoid confusion and misinterpretations.

• Include price. Always include the price of the item for sale.

• How to response. Always include a phone number (with area code) and/or street and e-mail address.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
