KAMLOOPS RCMP RADIOS ARE NOW ENCRYPTED TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops RCMP corporal in charge of media relations for the local detachment said nothing will change with respect to transparency now that police radios are encrypted — despite what has happened in other North American communities, where similar moves have been made. “We remain committed to providing the media with as much information as possible on matters that involve public safety and security and emerIt’s to gencies,” protect the Cpl.

Until this week, local reporters and radio enthusiasts have been able to use scanners to legally listen in on the RCMP’s police-radio communications. Now that radios are encrypted, transmissions are no longer available to anyone but police. “It’s to protect the privacy of citizens’ calls and of policing operations,” Bush said.

LEAVE IT TO COOPER TO FIND FUN

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Two-year-old Cooper Bach has a blast playing in the fall leaves with caregiver Margaret Dennison during a morning outing yesterday (Nov. 19) at Riverside Park.

Community members in Pritchard are raising money to help a retired couple who lost their home and possessions in a fire. John Sternig, former director for ThompsonNicola Regional District Area P, said two trailer homes on the north side of the South Thompson River were burned in the Nov. 10 fire. “One trailer was totally burned out,” Sternig said. “The other is a shell. Good thing a hydrant was hand in the area.” Local resident Kathy East said the Pritchard Station general store is overseeing collection of donations for Barb and Art Martin. Their trailer was not insured due to its age and wood stove, East said, noting they had lived in the home more than 40 years. “We had a bunch of clothes donated. At this point, they have livingroom and bedroom furniture already. We’re looking for just cash now.” To help, call the store at 250-577-3471.

RCMP says media, public will be kept in loop Carla Ammerata said it changed the atmosphere of the Spectator’s newsroom. “It’s also changed the way we obtain information from the police,” she said. “I can’t say it’s helped the public or our newsroom in terms of getting information.” Ammerata said police set up a secure website to share information with media, but noted it wasn’t useful. “The information is just not there,” she said. “In fact, we’ve developed a reli-

“Kamloops is actually one of the last B.C. detachments to do the transition. Throughout the Lower Mainland, I know a lot of them already switched.” In the July 23, 2013, edition of KTW, a front-page story detailed the impending switch for local Mounties from unencrypted to encrypted radios. In the story, the city editor of the Hamilton Spectator lamented the switch Hamilton’s municipal police made earlier to encrypted radios.

when we found out they were going to encryption. Obviously, we were distressed about that. “We’ve trained our community now that, when they hear sirens, they call us and ask us why. “If we lose that ability, that’s when there’s more confusion.” Awtry believes it’s in the best interest of the public to have police who know a third party is listening in on their radio communication. “There’s a measure of accountability in that,” he said.

ance on social media and relying on Twitter accounts.” In the 2013 story, KTW also spoke to the editor of The Coloradoan newspaper in Fort Collins, Colo., where police switched to encrypted radios, but provided the newspaper with a scanner to listen in. “The agreement we struck was they would lend us a radio for a nominal fee and we would be responsible stewards of that,” said Josh Awtry, who was then the executive editor of the paper. “The whole thing came about

“To me, it’s highly unnerving to go to full encryption.” Kamloops RCMP is not setting up a secure website to share information with local media or providing reporters with scanners, but Bush said reporters — and, through them, the community as a whole — can still expect to be kept up-to-date. Kamloops Fire Rescue has said it has no plans to encrypt its radio transmissions. The B.C. Ambulance Service transmissions also remain unencrypted. VOTED

WHICH ROUTES TO IMPROVE? ANDREA KLASSEN

With a bus-service expansion on the horizon for Kamloops, BC Transit is asking riders which routes they’d like to see improved in the Tournament Capital. BC Transit will host open houses today. They will be held at the North Shore transit exchange on Sydney Avenue from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.; at the Lansdowne transit exchange from noon to 2 p.m.; and at Northills Shopping Centre from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Riders can also fill out an online survey at bctransit.com/transitfuture/kamloops_latestupdates.cfm. The survey is live until Sunday, Nov. 23. BC Transit spokeswoman Meribeth Burton said the goal of the open houses is to identify which routes deserve more service hours when the city expands transit in September 2015. “It’s all kinds of ideas that both the City of Kamloops and BC Transit think might be appealing to our customers and riders,” she said. “But, we want to get out to the major exchanges so they can look at them.” In many cases, the changes the city has proposed would shorten routes, with a goal of providing more reliable service. Other routes could see increases in frequency. The city is also considering expanding service to the Guerin Creek area using the Route 8 Battle bus.

Single print focus of trial CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

in several million, for example— overwhelming odds versus the perfect certainty of fingerprints professed by Penner. And even if the fingerprint is Schell’s, Melville said there are reasons, including recent construction and an open house at the home earlier for sale, why Schell’s mark may have been on the screen door. “I deny they’re Mr. Schell’s fingerprints,” he argued. “But, if they are, it’s outside the house.” Melville said that amounts to trespassing at most. Schell did not testify in his own defence. In another trial last year, he was found not guilty of break and enter, assault, uttering threats, unlawful confinement and use of a firearm for incidents that occurred Oct. 10, 2011, as well as additional charges of robbery and assault causing bodily harm for a separate incident nine days later. Charges were brought by the Crown after a Kamloops resident testified Schell and accomplices held his kitten for ransom and demanded money for drug debts. Two other people pleaded guilty midway through that trial this past spring.

Airport passenger numbers are up Driven by increases in all major areas of travel, passenger numbers at Kamloops Airport are up by 8.5 per cent for the first 10 months of the year. The airport released numbers showing more than 25,000 passengers used the airport in October, up nearly 7 per cent from the same month in 2013. Airport manager Fred Legace attributed

increases to business and industry related trips as well as leisure travel. The airport has seen a flurry of small construction activity this year, including expanded parking lot and washroom renovations. Legace said a new executive flight centre for industrial-charter passengers will open on Tuesday, Nov. 25.

A B.C. Supreme Court justice must decide whether a high-profile offender now in federal prison is guilty of break and enter based on a single fingerprint found at a Brocklehurst home. Brandon Schell was on trial for break and enter with intent to commit an offence. Lawyers completed two days of evidence and arguments yesterday (Nov. 19). Justice Hope Hyslop reserved her decision to a later date. Homeowner Tanner Bishop testified he came home with his children on Sept. 23, 2011, after a day at work to see his front door wide open. He said he knew right away something was wrong, so he locked his two pre-schoolers in his truck and walked inside. He found his home in disarray, with drawers and items scattered throughout. “It’s hard to miss my 50-inch Panasonic TV,” Bishop said. “It was professionally removed.” Also missing was cash and jewelry, including family heirlooms. Crown prosecutor Will

Burrows said RCMP lifted a number of fingerprints from the home. The only match from a database search was a single print from a screen door leaning against a sliding glass door at the rear of the Joyce Avenue home. Schell, who used the street name “Cheddar” when he was a drug enforcer in Kamloops, was sentenced to six years in jail last year after he was found guilty of firing a prohibited weapon and aggravated assault. A judge found he shot a visitor at a Seymour Street crack shack who stood up to him. Schell and an accomplice threatened the group to purchase drugs only from them. A police identification expert, Cpl. Tammy Penner, testified a match to Schell’s fingerprint was found on the inside of a screen door at the back of the house. But, defence lawyer Dale Melville said, it is not proven beyond a reasonable doubt the fingerprint matches Schell’s print. He noted Penner testified that matching by RCMP experts was “infallible” and “100 per cent.” He noted DNA evidence, by contrast, is called false one time

Operation Red Nose set to roll ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Operation Red Nose will kick off the 2014 holiday season at the end of November, celebrating its 18th year in the Tournament Capital. The program uses volunteer designated drivers to shepherd people and their vehicles home safely from Christmas parties and other holiday events. Users can chose to donate to the program in return for the ride, with all proceeds going to PacificSport. In 2013, Operation Red Nose raised $27,817, with volunteers driving more than 20,000 kilometres. PacificSport has given more than $262,000 to amateur athletes for national-competition travel, as well as $40,000 to coaches for professionaldevelopment opportunities. “We’re always grateful for whatever people can donate,” program co-ordinator Katie Klassen said. “If someone doesn’t have any money on them, it’s just getting them home safely.” Red Nose drivers will be available beginning the weekend of Nov. 28 and Nov. 29 and the program will run on each Friday and Saturday of December, as well as on New Year’s Eve, from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. each night. Kamloops was the No. 1 community in Operation Red Nose use in 2013, topping larger

cities like Surrey/Langley and Prince George with 1,129 rides over 11 days of service. “I think it’s because we’re a sociable city,” Mayor Peter Milobar joked at the 2014 launch on Tuesday, Nov. 18, at Interior Savings Centre. “But, overall, a socially responsible city.” RCMP Cpl. Bob Jones said he can feel the difference in the community when Operation Red Nose is up and running. He knows it’s put to good use and people are getting home safely. Jones added the RCMP is pleased to be a part of the program each year. “We’d rather see people get home safely than have to do the other part of the job, which is sometimes bad news to families — and we do not want to do that at all,” he said. Operation Red Nose is also going the extra mile to ensure its riders are safe this year. Part of the criminal record check for volunteers will be a “vulnerable sector check,” which will ensure volunteers haven’t been charged with a sexual offence that was later pardoned. Operation Red Nose is hoping to fill 250 volunteer positions for this year’s campaign. Klassen said the demand grows every year and finding enough drivers for New Year’s Eve can sometimes be a challenge. To get involved, call Klassen at 250-320-0650 or email her at kklassen@kamloops.ca.

Sexist, racist language used to elicit confession

ROBERT BALBAR’S MURDER TRIAL CONTINUES IN KAMLOOPS

TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

When police launched the elaborate undercover investigation of a Kamloops man suspected of bludgeoning his girlfriend to death with a hammer, officers were “advised to be derogatory toward women,” a jury has been told. One of the officers who posed as a gangster during the Mr. Big investigation of Robert Balbar said he was told to use language that degraded women and, later, to be racist — all in an attempt to gain the 42-year-old Balbar’s trust. The Mountie, a corporal, cannot be named because of a mandatory court-ordered ban on the publication of anything that would identify Mr. Big undercover officers. Balbar is charged with second-degree murder in the 2003 slaying of Heather Hamill, his girlfriend of two years. His trial, before a B.C. Supreme Court jury, began last week. “In this undercover operation, I was playing a member of a criminal organization — somewhat of a professional criminal with a rougher edge,” the corporal testified in court on Tuesday, Nov. 18. “I was also advised to be derogatory toward women and, later in the operation, I was also advised to be somewhat racist. A lot of times there’d be vulgarity, swears.” The jury then heard audio that was recorded surreptitiously in Vancouver on Dec. 6, 2007 — more than two months into the Mr. Big sting targeting Balbar. On the recording, Balbar can

be heard talking with the corporal following a staged meeting inside a hotel bar involving the supposed leader of a fictitious criminal organization. In the tape, Balbar was told the purported crime boss would be looking into his past. The corporal asked indirectly if he would find anything in Balbar’s past that could put “heat” on the gang. Initially, Balbar said he was suspected in Kamloops of killing “a couple people.” “My girlfriend got whacked and a few other people got whacked and they’re trying to say it was me,” Balbar said on the recording. “Why didn’t you tell me about this before?” the undercover corporal replied. “How many are we talking about?” “Maybe four guys, one girl,” Balbar replied. “They’re nobody,” undercover corporal replied. Balbar said he didn’t think he “had heat” on him. He soon retreated from the claim about four men being killed and confessed to killing Hamill.

“She got whacked out and went nutty,” Balbar said. “So, I whacked her upside the head with a hammer.” “What’s the big deal about that?” the corporal asked, dismissing the victim with a couple of vulgarities. The corporal then implied he had murdered multiple women. “You know how many f----g people I’ve whacked?” he said. “You know how long I’ve been doing this? I’ve been here a lot of f-----g times, let me tell you — and, in that area, I know how to do it right.” Five days later, Balbar and the corporal were in Kamloops when they were pulled over by local Mounties in a staged traffic stop. A detective, Cpl. Andre Mathieu, approached Balbar and fingered him for Hamill’s death. “I know you killed her and I’ll be back for you, Mr. Balbar,” he said. The undercover corporal then set in motion a plan for the criminal organization to “clean up” after Balbar. The jury has already seen video of Balbar’s subsequent meeting with the supposed crime boss, at which he confessed to killing Balbar with a hammer and dumping her body in the North Thompson River. Hamill’s body was discovered by a jogger at Indian Point on Aug. 1, 2003. She was last heard from on July 28, when she spoke on the phone to her daughter. Balbar’s trial is expected to run into early December. This is his second murder trial. The outcome of the previous trial was appealed and last year he was ordered to stand trial again.

Minor injuries in bus, car crash Seven people were taken to Royal Inland Hospital on the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 19, after a bus slammed into a sedan in a downtown Kamloops intersection. Emergency crews were called to the intersection of Fourth Avenue and St. Paul Street at about 8:30 a.m. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said the bus was headed southbound on Fourth Avenue when it struck the car. Investigators believe the driver of the car, which was travelling east on St. Paul Street, failed to stop at a stop sign. Three people in the car and three passengers on the bus, along with the driver of the bus, were taken to hospital. Bush said none of the injuries are believed to be serious. There were 23 passengers on the bus at the time of the crash. The 47-year-old man behind the wheel of the car was given a ticket for failing to obey a stop sign. While crews were dealing with the bus acci-

UNIQUE MORTGAGE PRODUCTS THAT FIT YOU AND YOUR LIFESTYLE In today’s competitive lending environment, banks are fighting for your business. The result? Many lending institutions are lowering interest rates like never before and are creating specialized niche products. Here are a few examples: 10 year mortgages – Looking for payment security over the long term? The 10 year mortgage is for people who find comfort in stable financial payments and want to limit their risk to potential high interest rates over the next decade. Flex down payment mortgages – Having trouble raising enough money for a down payment? The flex down mortgage offers buyers the chance to use borrowed money to buy a home. The bank expects the borrower to have good credit and good employment to qualify. This type of product may allow you to buy now and stop paying high rents. 5% cash back mortgages – Can’t afford that truck payment plus a mortgage? If you have a down payment, but can’t afford to use it for both bill reduction and buying a home, then the cash back mortgage is an option. You can use the 5% for anything you want – home renovations, pay off bills, add to savings. Purchase plus improvements – Can’t find anything in your price range you like? The purchase plus improvements mortgage allows you to increase your mortgage by up to 20% of your purchase price to renovate your home. This way, you can buy a less expensive home and renovate it the way you want – all included in your mortgage. This program does not cover pools and hot tubs, but roofs, walls, kitchens, bathrooms are fine. Purchase plus improvement mortgages are available at very competitive rates. Equity Mortgages – Has the bank said “no” because of your income, but you have strong equity in your home? There are lenders who will take into account the equity you have built up in your home and lend on that instead of income. 50% (50% ownership) and 65% (35% ownership) loan to value percentages are often acceptable to lenders. The lender will always ask for an appraisal and will expect the borrower to have excellent credit. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today. For more information about qualifying for a mortgage or if you have questions about your specific situation, please call 250 682 6077 or e-mail steve.bucher@migroup.ca or check out my website at www.mortgagebuilder.ca

EXAMINING COST OF DEMOCRACY

The promise from the provincial government that spending limits will be in place for municipal elections by 2018 is curious on a number of levels. First, interested members of the public have only until Dec. 5 to make submissions, attend hearings or fill out an online questionnaire (www. leg.bc.ca/cmt/leel/submissions.asp) for the special legislative committee, which has already been gathering input from electoral organizations and other stakeholders. It’s also odd that the B.C. Liberals — while seeking to protect us from potential corruption on a municipal level — have not seen fit to support limits on spending or donations from corporations or unions provincially. Why should such a move not be applied across the board in B.C.? Currently, B.C. has no limit municipally on who — whether an individual, a business or a union — can contribute to politicians’ war chests or how much money they can throw in the coffers. Municipal politicians are legally obligated to divulge campaign contributors and amounts, but only after the elections, when the dust has settled. It goes against nature to suppose that someone who has received significant financial backing from a specific interest will not feel beholden in some way, somewhere down the line. And those who lay out large sums of money likely consider it an investment. Politicians can’t ignore that the electorate is becoming far more suspicious of where their campaign contributions are coming from, which is why, in the recent civic election, most Vancouver candidates made a point of disclosing the information before election day, long before it was mandatory. Even though the Conservatives made it illegal to accept union and corporate campaign donations federally in 2006, abuses have been recorded. And the public is increasingly wary of large sums being spent by federal parties on image and attack ads, particularly prior to elections, when spending is not subject to the same rules and scrutiny.

Let’s see a vision emerge

his was our youngest son’s first time voting. He took it seriously, attended a forum right before election day, collected information, met candidates and paid attention during the mayoral debate. His father and I had voted and were sitting on chairs at our neighbourhood school, waiting while he carefully read each name and made his decisions. Having listened to us, he knew he didn’t have to vote for every vacancy, opting to cast a ballot for mayor, two councillors and one trustee. He batted .500 and was delighted to have taken part in a process that he said truly made him feel like a citizen of Kamloops. Oh that others would take the right to vote as seriously — but, regular readers know how I feel about the 67 per cent of Kamloopsians who stayed home on Nov. 15 rather than take part in electing a municipal government and school board. My son had a better batting average than I did in this election. Knowing some of the incumbents were obvious shoe-ins, I opted to cast votes for candidates I was impressed with, who, with a decent count at the end of the night, might feel encouraged enough to run again in four years. It’s an interesting council, one that’s not so much fractured into two sides as it is something

LEVEL that will likely reveal itself as fluid, with shifting allegiances depending on the subject being debated, the idea being proposed, the hard decisions that have to be made. The wild cards, if one can call them that, will likely be Tina Lange — a councillor with a strong business bent and conservative fiscal outlook, tempered with an equally strong social conscience — and Marg Spina, who has defied any firm appearance of what motivates her decisions, at least as I’ve observed her. Ken Christian has always seemed to be that solid foundation, a man who knows how to get things done without rocking the boat much. Friends are already referring to Dieter Dudy and Denis Walsh as “the twins,” a moniker that likely won’t last long because, other than an opposition to the proposed Ajax mine, there’s no obvious ties that bind the two together. After all, Walsh was once a candidate for the Green party,

one that, while it espouses a strong environmental plank, is fiscally pretty right wing. The remaining three incumbents re-elected — Arjun Singh, Donovan Cavers and Pat Wallace — won’t change much. Singh will continue to want to govern through never-ending public consultation. Cavers will keep chiding those of us who don’t ride our bikes to work. Wallace will be the feisty one who you know some days just wants to tell people to be quiet and just do the job. Here’s what I’m hoping to see during the next four years — vision. I want to see a clearly defined vision from each of them on where they want to take Kamloops in the future and how they want to get there. Defeated councillor Nelly Dever at least had her own vision, one she championed as she pushed to see the airport gateway improved and beautified, turned into something that made a statement that This Is Kamloops. Let’s hope that, as the alliances shift and the headlines are sought out, this new incarnation of our city’s leaders can figure out what the vision is and then do something tangible, visible and real to start to make it happen — something that might make my son want to vote for more people in four years. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

traffic that already exists. Sullivan’s final recommendation to the board of education was to monitor Westsyde school enrolment patterns over the next several years. Well, you can imagine our surprise this past summer when we noticed another portable was moved onto school property. Not only that, the land where improvements to parking were to be considered has been paved with a basketball court instead. Traffic congestion continues. Now we read in the Oct. 21 edition of KTW that the Kamloops-Thompson school district has a five-year capital plan request for a $9.5-million expansion of Westmount — no longer eight years away and no longer $9 million. As a neighborhood, we offered to be part of the solution. We were repeatedly turned down. Instead, we continue to be frustrated, hostages at times on our own street, and feeling obviously ignored. We have said repeatedly there is a problem. Now, can’t someone fix this before a child is injured? Donna Buckley Kamloops

DO NOT GO BELOW 49 ON YOUR HOME WATER HEATER Editor: I read with interest in the Nov. 14 edition of KTW the 10 tips for a winter-ready home and wanted to point out that turning your water heater down to 49 C can allow for the growth of Legionella. The B.C. 2012 Plumbing Code recommends a thermostat setting of 60 C at the tank and BC Hydro suggest a range of between 55 C and 60 C.

This is even more important if you have a electric water heater. To ensure the safety of children and the elderly, consider adding mixer valves or anti-scald devices. Teach your children to turn on the cold water first, then the hot, and never leave a child alone while drawing water into a bathtub. Carla Martin Kamloops

Dever says election defeat not a permanent setback The only sitting councillor to go down in defeat believes her focus on work not always seen by the public is one reason why she wasn’t re-elected. “I spent the last three years doing a lot of homework,” said Nelly Dever, who finished in 10th place in the Nov. 15 civic election. “Those who saw my involvement knew I was hard-working,” she said. Dever’s involvement this term included being on several agriculture committees, the Gateway task force and on board of Venture Kamloops. She said her focus was on important city work rather than self-promotion, which may have land-

POST-CIVIC ELECTION 2014

Newcomers have some ideas for city hall DIETER DUDY AND DENIS WALSH JOIN SEVEN INCUMBENTS ON COUNCIL FOLLOWING ELECTION WIN CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Dieter Dudy has a feeling his booth at the Kamloops Farmers’ Market may need some extra staff next spring and summer. Until now, the Thistle Farms owner could spend his Wednesdays and Saturdays doling out advice about vegetables. Going forward, Dudy is expecting more of the visitors to his stand will want to talk about his work as a member of Kamloops city council. “Effectively, what I’ve done now is I’ve placed myself on the firing line twice a week for six months of the year,” said Dudy, who picked up more than 10,000 votes in the Nov. 15 election, finishing third in the 28-candidate race. “You talk about accountability, that’s where they’re going find it.” Dudy is joined by one other new face — though Denis Walsh isn’t a newcomer to city hall. A councillor who served from 2008 to 2011 before opting not to run for a second term, Walsh remained a lively presence on the Kamloops political scene even while out of office. Unlike Dudy, whose intentions to campaign for council were well known at the start of 2014, Walsh spent months debating a run for mayor before opting not to run at all. He then surprised city-hall watchers by filing his papers for a council campaign on the final day of the nomination period, Oct. 10, before join sev-

eral other candidates, Dudy included, to form the Vision Kamloops alliance. “After turning [a mayoral run] down, I felt quite depressed that I hadn’t stepped up for the city,” Walsh said. “So, a couple days later, I started thinking maybe I should run for council.” With three years separating him from city hall, Walsh said he feels he’s matured since voters last saw him govern, with a better understanding of what research he needs to do and what information he has to bring to the table to have his points heard. “I think I’m going to be less controversial,” he said. At the same time, Walsh thinks he and other councillors need to be more outspoken. “There’s too many people sitting on their hands or sitting on the fence on issues when we are elected to have an opinion.” Dudy said he also expects to take part in some lively debates. “I’m pretty outspoken and I’m sure there are going to be times when I’m hauled into an office somewhere, because I tend to voice my opinion,” he said. As the only councillor without previous experience at the table, Dudy said he expects to spend his first year in office mainly trying to learn the job. He said he wants to ensure the city is spending money well and has a few small issues he’d like to revisit — urban hens and the city’s campfire ban among them. With Nelly Dever — who worked on the city’s agricultural and

“But, I guess that decision doesn’t lie with me. It lies with the mayor,” he said. Walsh has a list of priorities for the term, among them more community engagement on the proposed performing-arts centre and a renewed focus on the downtown core. “My intuition is the downtown’s slipped a lot,” he said. “Especially with the

Businesses are really hurting downtown.” Walsh said he’d like to see if the city can replace the current kiosks with a better-functioning model and see a new parkade for employees move forward. He also has a few governance ideas he’s going to try to find support for, including term limits and a hybrid

New rules coming for local election spending in B.C. TOM FLETCHER BLACK PRESS tfletcher@kamloopsthisweek.com

Municipal-election campaigns are like mushrooms that pop up every few years, with voters still in the dark about who’s fertilizing them and with how much money. That’s why the B.C. government waited until the first elections for four-year municipal terms were held to examine how campaign spending should be regulated, according to Coralee Oakes, B.C.’s minister for community, sport and cultural development. Oakes promised there will be new rules on spending and donations from property developers, unions and other donors to municipal council and school board candidates

by the next provincewide municipal vote in 2018. A legislature committee started working on it in October, with recommendations due by Nov. 27. “What we found is that for a lot of the organizations, if you’re not in election mode, they are not formed,” Oakes said. “So, we knew that if we were to do stakeholder engagement, we need to do it when the elections were happening.” Some urban municipalities see substantial campaign donations from special interests, with only the requirement of disclosure long after votes are counted. In Vancouver, where developers and civic-worker unions spend heavily, Mayor Gregor

Robinson’s Vision Vancouver party and challenger Kirk Lapointe’s Non-Partisan Association were pushed to voluntarily disclose their major donors before the Nov. 15 vote. Imposing campaign reform on local governments is an awkward task for the ruling B.C. Liberals, who have refused to give up their multi-milliondollar advantage in corporate donations over the NDP and other challengers. NDP Leader John Horgan said the opposition will soon table its annual private member’s bill calling for the elimination of corporate and union donations from provincial campaigns, as has been done in other provinces and at the federal level.

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Ajax Mine Project

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:

Participants will also have the opportunity to learn about the steps of the cooperative environmental assessment process. Next Steps The comments received during the comment period on the revised AIR / EIS Guidelines will be considered in the ongoing provincial and federal environmental assessments of the Ajax Mine Project, and will also be considered in finalizing the revised AIR / EIS Guidelines document. Once finalized, the AIR / EIS Guidelines will be provided to the proponent to support the submission of its Application / Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). A public comment period on the proponent’s Application / EIS will be announced at a later date. All submissions received by the Agency and the EAO during the comment period in relation to the Ajax Mine Project are considered public. They will be posted to the EAO website and will become part of the Agency project file.

City hosts forum tonight The City of Kamloops is hosting its annual Community Association Forum tonight (Nov. 20). The event, held to thank volunteers who help make their neighborhoods shine, will take place at Interior Savings Centre’s Parkside Lounge from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The Community Association Forum brings all community associations together for an evening of presentations and a chance to meet one another to exchange ideas and build networks. Kamloops is home to 15 community associations, in which people work together to focus on common interests. Over the years, Kamloops community associations have organized, hosted, or supported: • Halloween block parties • Park celebrations • Fireworks displays • Neighbourhood garage sales • Park and neighborhood clean-ups • Amazing Race-style events • Fundraising for neighbourhood amenities • Neighborhood watch groups • Jane’s Walks • Voter-turnout events • Outdoor ice-rink maintenance • Community gardens

Memorials for teacher A memorial service will be held today (Nov. 20) for a music teacher who was killed on the weekend when he was hit by a vehicle while riding his bike. Rob Petersen, who taught at Our Lady of Perpetual Help and St. Ann’s Academy, was riding on Springhill Drive on Saturday, Nov. 15, at about 3 p.m. when he was struck by a vehicle making a left turn. Petersen died in hospital. A memorial mass will be held today at 1 p.m. in the St. Ann’s gym. All alumni are invited and those attending are asked to wear red, which organizers say was Petersen’s favourite colour. Petersen’s funeral mass is scheduled to be held tomorrow at 11 a.m. at the Our Lady of Perpetual Help parish.

BREAST HEALTH DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Installation of a digital mammography machine at the city’s screening clinic should improve the service now provided to women in the city. Kim Perris, professional practice leader of radiography at Royal Inland Hospital, said the new equipment is particularly good at dealing with the dense breast tissue most commonly found in younger women. Having digital versions also allows ,for those doctors who can read them for diagnoses, to access the mammograms, something that is important because not all doctors are accredited to read them, Perris said. Because accreditation is based on the number of mammograms read, the number is restricted and, at times, those accredited called upon to read the mammogram might not be based in Kamloops. There are two accredited doctors in the city and a third who has almost reached the readings-threshold required for the certification. The new machine, paid for by the B.C. Cancer Agency, is part of a provincewide plan to transition all mammography to digital versions. It required some renovations at the clinic at 300 Columbia St. and gave the staff there the opportunity to update the area, Perris said. “Just doing a facelift over there because it looked very 1980s, with the pink blinds and other things.”

Breakthrough on climate change

hen news got out that U.S. President Barack Obama and Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s President Xi Jinping had reached an agreement on climate change, the American blogosphere lit up with negative comments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem is, Obama probably means it,â&#x20AC;? wrote Jazz Shaw of the major conservative political blog Hot Air, â&#x20AC;&#x153;while China is almost certainly just yanking the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collective chain yet again with a bit of lip service as they seek better trade arrangements.â&#x20AC;?

GWYNN DYER

World

WATCH exactly backwards. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the U.S. that cannot be trusted to keep its commitments because the American political system is mired in a perpetual civil war and, at the moment, it is the climate-change deniers who have the upper hand. The Chinese will probably keep their word because there are no denialists in China and the government is genuinely terrified of climate change. The Obama-Xi deal is not wonderful, but it is the first step in the right direction the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two biggest emitters of carbon dioxide have taken together. Obama promised the U.S. will reduce its greenhouse-gas emissions to at least 26 per cent below 2005 levels by 2025. Xi promised more vaguely that Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emission would peak by 2030 or earlier (and, by implication, then start to decline). That looks a bit lopsided, of course, but any deal that takes into account current realities is bound to

look like that. China is still a poor country and it is racing to grow its economy fast enough to preserve political stability. That means it has to generate a lot more energy fast. China is installing a great deal of clean power, around half the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new solarenergy plants last year, for example. However, just to keep the lights on, it has to go on building lots of fossil-fuel plants as well and most of them burn the dirtiest fuel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; coal. Official policy is driving the number of new coal-fired plants down, however, which is one reason Xi thinks he can keep his promise emissions will stop growing by 2030. Obama, by contrast, presides over an economy that is already very rich. The average American citizen still consumes twice as much energy as the average Chinese, but total U.S. energy consumption stopped rising years ago. Making 26 per cent cuts in American energy use over the next 10 years is not a huge challenge. It only requires a reduction of about 2.6 per cent a year. So, the American and Chinese commitments in the new deal, while asymmetrical, are not unequal in terms of the political and economic burdens they impose. The real difference lies in the likelihood

the two sides will stick to the deal over the next 10 to 15 years as they have promised. China probably will. The United States probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. The Chinese regime knows what global warming will do to the country if it is not contained. A study commissioned by the World Bank about a decade ago, but never published (quite likely at Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insistence), concluded if average global temperature rises by 2 C, China will lose about 38 per cent of its food production. As in all predictions of this sort, that number may be wrong by five or even 10 percentage points, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really matter. Even a 28 per cent loss of food production would mean semipermanent famine in China. The regime would not survive that and much of the growth that has been achieved by great sacrifice in the past three decades would be lost. Beijing takes climate change very seriously. Even though the regime must also keep the economic growth going if it wishes to survive, it knows it must start making real concessions on emissions in order to facilitate a global deal. Xi did not set this target of capping Chinese emissions by 2030 without a great deal of discussion and debate

within the regime. Having made the promise, he will keep it. So will his successors, at least as long as the Communist Party keeps ruling China, whereas Obama will be gone in two years and cannot bind his successors to keep his promise in any way. Indeed, even in the past six years, Obama has never had any legislation on climate change pass the Republicandominated House of Representatives. Instead, he had to resort to issuing executive orders through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to make even modest improvements, like raising the fuel efficiency of U.S.made cars. Now the House has voted to repeal the EPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authority to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act, which would strip even that power from the president. The new Republican majority in the Senate will probably do the same. Obama could veto such a law, but all the Republicans have to do is attach it to the budget and they would set up a confrontation that would again shut down government. The Chinese know this, but they are desperate to get matters moving on the climate front and willing to take a chance the deal will survive. gwynnedyer.com

Review says Red Chris breach would eclipse Mount Polley CARA MCKENNA

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Engineers say damage could be significant

ISKUT, B.C. — The results of a third-party review into the design of a northwestern B.C. gold and copper mine says it has the potential to cause significantly more environmental damage than the recent collapse of the Mount Polley tailings pond. Engineering firm Klohn Crippen Berger made 22 recommendations for the owner of the mine, Imperial Metals, to improve the tailings dam of the Red Chris mine, 500 kilometres north of Terrace. The review found the design of the dam is feasible, but that there are issues that must be addressed.

The three-phased review looks at the tailings pond design, water quality predictions and geohazards at the mine site. It identifies a “major design issue’’ for the soil on which the dams would be built, noting the porous soil could cause damaging water leaks if the planned installation of a finegrained tailings blanket isn’t enough to limit seepage. It also suggests designers carefully monitor the water balance for their tailings reservoir and complete a risk assessment around the effects of another

nearby landslide. Some of the report’s other suggestions include more detailed documentation, emergency-response measures, environmental testing and design changes. “Any technical lessons to be learned from Mount Polley cannot be applied to this facility because the forensic investigation into the

cause of that failure has not yet been completed,’’ the report said. “At the same time, any failure of the Red Chris impoundment will likely have a much more significant environmental impact than the Mount Polley failure.’’ The Tahltan Central Council instigated the review and Imperial Metals funded it after

the company’s Mount Polley mine in B.C.’s central Interior failed in August, sending millions of cubic metres of wastewater and silt into a network of salmonbearing lakes and rivers. The spill prompted Tahltan members to blockade the Red Chris site with concerns about the mine’s human and environ-

Vancouver cop under investigation LADNER — The conduct of a Vancouver police officer is being probed after police in Delta determined he had consumed alcohol. Delta Police are now tasked with looking into the officer’s actions under the provincial Police Act, at the request of the Vancouver Police Department. The investigation stems from a Nov. 6 driving complaint in Ladner that resulted in police making a traffic stop. Ass. Sgt.

Over $1.1B in unspent funds at Veterans’ Affairs since 2006, documents say MURRAY BREWSTER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Veterans Affairs Canada has returned $1.13 billion to the federal treasury in unspent funds since the Conservatives came to power in 2006 — cash that critics say should have gone towards improved benefits and services. The figure, which surfaced this week in the House of Commons, has led to renewed criticism of the Harper government, which is already smarting over its frayed relations with disgruntled former soldiers. Data tabled in the

Veterans critic says money will make ex-soldiers feel ‘hoodwinked’ House in response to a written question shows roughly one-third of the so-called lapsed funds were handed back between the 2011 and 2013 budget years when the government was engaged in a massive deficit-cutting drive. The Conservatives often trumpet how much the budget for veterans care has gone up under their watch — right now it’s about $3.4 billion a year, up from $2.8 billion when the Tories took office.

What they don’t say is that anywhere between 4.7 per cent and 8.2 per cent of the total allocation has been allowed to lapse because of the department’s inability or reluctance to spend it all, said NDP veterans critic Peter Stoffer. Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino met yesterday (Nov. 19) in Quebec City with select organizations representing ex-soldiers, but some of the loudest critics of the department’s spending

on benefits and services were not invited. Earlier this week, Stoffer put a pointed question about the lapsed funds to Fantino, who answered by tallying up the government’s total spending on the veteran’s department — roughly $30 billion since 2006. “It means improved rehabilitation for Canadian veterans,’’ Fantino said. “It means more counselling for veterans’ families. It means more money for veterans’ higher educa-

tion and retraining. It means we care deeply about our veterans.’’ But that didn’t answer the question of why so much of the budget has been allowed to lapse, said Stoffer, noting that the overall budget of the department is something the government is committed to under the law. The use of lapsed funding to reduce the federal deficit is an exercise that’s being practised across all departments, he added. “The deputy ministers . . . have obviously been told by the higher-ups that, ‘This money has to come back to us in order for us to have our books balanced, and that way we can use that money for other purposes, like income-splitting.’’’ Over the last two fiscal years, all federal departments allowed more than $18 billion in budgeted funding to lapse, according to public accounts figures released at the end of October. Frank Valeriote, the Liberal veterans critic,

said ex-soldiers who’ve been denied benefits will look at the unspent funds and feel “hoodwinked, completely abandoned’’ and wonder why they’ve made sacrifices for their country. “It is reprehensible and unconscionable what they’re doing so that the government can create an image of fiscal responsibility,’’ he said. The Quebec City meeting came on Wednesday at a time when multiple Conservative sources say there is concern that the party’s reliable support in the veterans community is bleeding away because of the loud and prolonged battle. The sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, say there is growing frustration within the party over Fantino’s apparent inability to forge positive relationships with veterans, unlike his predecessor, Steven Blaney. Beyond veterans, long considered a natural constituency for

Conservatives, there are signs the Tories are in trouble with ordinary Canadians on the issue. A newly released internal poll on public perceptions of the Canadian Forces suggests the treatment of veterans was registering strongly with respondents. “Problems that veterans face [42 per cent] and soldiers returning home [29 per cent] were top of mind for many Canadians when asked what they recalled about the [Canadian Armed Forces],’’ said the Phoneix Strategies Perspectives survey, conducted last May, but released by National Defence online this week. The survey of 2,025 people found more than two-thirds (67 per cent) of those asked recalled recently seeing, reading or hearing about issues faced by returning soldiers or their families. That’s a significant increase over 48 per cent of respondents to a similar poll conducted in 2012.

Tim Hortons’ coffee, breakfast prices going up THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Your morning stop at Tim Hortons is about to get a bit more expensive. The restaurant chain says it plans to raise prices for both coffee and breakfast sandwiches at its Canadian locations starting next Wednesday. A cup of coffee will go up by 10 cents, on average, though the change will vary by region, and the price of a breakfast sandwich will also rise in all provinces except Ontario. “We have been able to hold our pricing stable since spring of 2011, however due to rising operational costs there will be a moderate increase,’’ spokeswoman Michelle Robichaud said in an email. The cost of breakfast sandwiches, like bacon and egg on an English muffin and the turkey sausage sandwich, will go up 10 cents to $2.99 before tax. The move comes as Tim Hortons says it faces “significantly higher operating costs,’’ which include ris-

ing prices for coffee beans and meat on the commodities market. But it’s not just food prices that have been expensive for the company. During the third quarter, Tim Hortons booked $27.3 million in costs related to Burger King’s agreement to buy the company. The deal is worth more than US$11 billion in stock and cash, but still requires the approval of shareholders and regulators. Earlier this month, Tim Hortons’ chief financial officer, Cynthia Devine, hinted that a coffee price increase could be on the horizon as futures contracts for Arabica beans nearly doubled this year due to various factors, including lack of rain in Brazil. “It’s something that we will, and are, working on closely with our restaurant owners to understand what actions may be necessary,’’ Devine said during the company’s most recent financial results conference call on Nov. 5.

Burned seniors’ home CF-18s relieve pressure on Kurds, didn’t meet standards, bomb ISIL fighting positions Que. contractor says National News THE CANADIAN PRESS

RIVIERE-DU-LOUP, Que. — The contractor who built the seniors’ residence that burned last January, killing 32 people, says it did not comply with building-code standards in place at the time of the blaze. Denis Michaud testified yesterday (Nov. 19) at the coroner’s inquest looking into the fire in L’Isle-Verte in eastern Quebec. Michaud said the corridor, a pharmacy and three rooms on the main floor were not equipped with firebarrier kits. He said he designed the Residence du Havre to comply with regulations for an apartment building. Earlier this week, a spokeswoman for the agency that oversees the province’s building standards testified that fire-separation mechanisms should have been present if elderly people without autonomy were living on the main floor. Three senior citizens deemed non-autonomous were indeed living on that floor. Many of the occupants in the

52-unit building were over 85 and all but a handful had limited movement, being confined to wheelchairs and walkers. Coroner Cyrille Delage’s inquest will resume next week after yesterday’s testimony. He is expected to hear from more than 50 witnesses at the courthouse in Riviere-du-Loup, northeast of Quebec City. His job will be to determine the cause of death of each of the 32 victims and the origin and likely causes of the fire. Delage has said his goal is not to assign criminal blame. Police last week sent their report to the Crown prosecutors’ office, which will decide whether to lay charges. Residence co-owners Irene Plante and Roch Bernier are part of a $3.8million civil lawsuit against the town of L’Isle-Verte. The suit alleges the community failed to implement emergency plans that might have lowered the death toll. An insurance company is also involved in the lawsuit and is seeking $2.3 million of the $3.8 million.

Psychologist questioned Magnotta MONTREAL — A psychiatrist who assessed Luka Rocco Magnotta for criminal responsibility questioned him about alleged online postings promoting the video of Jun Lin’s death ahead of the slaying.

Dr. Joel Watts told Magnotta’s first-degree murder trial yesterday (Nov. 19) the accused said he didn’t remember posting anything along those lines. “I have been trying to make sense of it, I

hope it was not me, I don’t remember doing it, it feels weird,’’ Watts quoted Magnotta as saying. Magnotta is standing trial on five charges. — The Canadian Press

OTTAWA — For the second time in two days, Canadian jetfighters have bombed an Islamic State target in northern Iraq. Defence Minister Rob Nicholson has revealed that two CF-18s conducted a pre-planned strike early yesterday (Nov. 19) on an extremist fighting position located near Kirkuk, about 280 kilometres north of Baghdad. The jets dropped two 2,000-pound bombs on what appear to be fortified positions. The raid took place at the same time as other allies, notably France, were conducting concurrent air operations aimed at relieving pressure on Kurdish Peshmerga fighters near the besieged oilrich city. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant overran much of the region earlier this year. A defence official says there were no civilian casualties and wouldn’t speculate on how many extremists might have been killed. — The Canadian Press

ISIL momentum ‘halted,’ Petraeus says OTTAWA — Retired U.S. general David Petraeus, the architect of the 2007 U.S. surge in Iraq, says the current U.S.-led coalition there, which includes Canadian fighter jets, has “halted’’ the momentum of the Islamic State. Though he ruled out any future need for Western ground troops, Petraeus said a Western victory over the Islamic extremists in Iraq and Syria could take years. Petraeus offered that view in Ottawa on Wednesday where he had come to speak about a U.S. think-tank report he co-authored about Canada-U.S.-Mexico relations. Petraeus said the North American continent looks to be headed for energy self-sufficiency, which he said could have enormous geopolitical implications. Petraeus is now the chairman of a major global investment firm.

Sona gets nine months in jail for role in robocalls scandal THE CANADIAN PRESS

GUELPH, Ont. — Michael Sona, the former Conservative staffer convicted in the 2011 robocalls scandal, has been sentenced to nine months behind bars.

Thousands of automated calls in May 2011 told voters in Guelph — many of them Liberal supporters — incorrect information about where to vote The Crown had wanted Sona, 26, to spend at least a yearand-a-half in jail for his role in the successful plot to misdirect voters

on the morning of the 2011 federal election. Sona hung his head and typed on a BlackBerry, his family members beside him

in tears, as Justice Gary Hearn delivered his decision. Sona will also spend 12 months on probation as part of what

Hearn called a “difficult and troubling sentence.’’ His lawyer, Norm Boxall, had recommended a suspended

or conditional sentence — something Hearn said would have been “entirely inappropriate.’’ Thousands of auto-

mated phone calls went out to citizens in and around Guelph on May 2, 2011, with incorrect information on where to vote. Liberal supporters received most of the calls. Sona was found guilty of wilfully preventing or endeavouring to prevent an elector from voting, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Crown prosecutor Croft Michaelson asked for a harsh sentence in the range of 18 to 20 months to send a message to anyone who might consider committing election fraud. Boxall recommended a suspended sentence or a six-to-12month conditional sentence with house arrest, parole and a requirement to complete community service. Boxall elected to call no witnesses in Sona’s defence, arguing the Crown failed to definitively identify a culprit in the scheme. An unidentified person used the fake names Pierre Poutine and Pierre Jones, untraceable prepaid credit cards and a disposable cellphone to order the automated telephone campaign that misled voters, court heard. Sona lacked the technical savvy to orchestrate the complicated plot, said Boxall. He argued that the Crown’s star witness — Andrew Prescott, a colleague of Sona’s who had previous experience with ordering robocalls — was a more likely suspect. Prescott testified against Sona in exchange for immunity, but even Michaelson acknowledged his side of the story “should probably be approached with caution.’’ Hearn said he found Prescott’s testimony inconsistent and “largely self-serving.’’ But he did accept the testimony from other Conservative staffers, who said that Sona openly bragged about ordering the calls.

Roger Sloan is trending upward. The golfer from Merritt made his first cut as a card-carrying member of the PGA Tour last week at the OHL Classic at Mayakoba in Mexico and finished tied in 56th place, ahead of golfers such as Retief Goosen and Justin Leonard. “I started to hit the ball a lot better and putt a lot better and get my feet under me, finally,” said Sloan, who will take part in a ceremonial puck-drop before the Kamloops Blazers play Prince George tomorrow (Nov. 21) at Interior Savings Centre. “It was just a really neat experience to finally be out there and know that you’re going to be out there for the rest of the year, competing with those guys, essentially starting your career.” Sloan, 27, claimed his 2014-2015 PGA Tour card with a top25 finish on the Web. com Tour’s 2013-2014 money list. Web.com grads are assigned a priority ranking on Tour — the better you play, the higher you’re ranked, the more tournaments you draw into. Finishing t-56 in Mexico bumped up Sloan’s ranking. He also notched his first Fed Ex Cup points — 13 of them, leaving him ranked 188th —

Those accomplishments were nice, Sloan said, but gaining steam heading into the winter break was more important. “I think it’s just momentum and getting that first cut under your belt and getting in four days of solid work,” said Sloan, who will make pitstops in Merritt and Victoria before spending the bulk of the off-season break at his home in Houston, Tex.. “Good golf will take care of the rest.” The former Merritt secondary student missed the cut in his first two PGA Tour events — the McGladrey Classic in Georgia in late October and the Sanderson Farms Championship in Mississippi earlier this month. Sloan had a scare on his way to the Georgia event, forgetting his wallet at home, his wife racing to the Houston airport in time to deliver it so he could catch the flight. “I got to the parking lot and realized I forgot my wallet,” Sloan said with a laugh. “You can forget almost anything and it’s replaceable, but your wallet is not.” The blonde-locked pin-seeker was motivated by fellow Canadian and Tour rookie Nick Taylor, the Abbotsford product who won the Sanderson Farms Championships — the trophy accompanied

Matthew CampeseDue: (right), seen here playing for the Victoria Royals earlier Nov 11th this season at Interior Savings Centre, was traded to the Kamloops Blazers on Tuesday, Nov. 18.

Blazers acquire Campese MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Matthew Campese slipped through general manager Craig Bonner’s fingers at the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft, but the forward from Prince Albert eventually found his way to the Kamloops Blazers. Bonner acquired the 5-foot-10, 185-pound left-winger and a fifthround pick in 2016 from the Victoria Royals in exchange for a thirdround pick in 2015. “We really liked him in the ‘97-born draft, but we didn’t get him,” Bonner said of Campese, who turns 17 on Dec. 10. “The trade came out of the blue. They contacted me on Sunday (Nov. 16) and asked if we had interest. He was kind of in and out of the lineup with them.” The Royals drafted Campese in the third

round, 49th overall, in 2012. He had two goals and a minus-4 rating in 14 games with Victoria this season. Campese, the son of Prince Albert Raiders’ GM Bruno Campese, found himself on the Blazers’ radar after impressive seasons at Okanagan Hockey Academy (OHA) in Penticton. Most recently, in 2013-2014, he had 88 points, including 46 goals, in 37 games playing with the OHA midget prep team in the Okanagan Mainline Amateur Hockey Association ranks. Deven Sideroff, a 17-year-old forward now blossoming with the Blazers, was on the same team as Campese last season at OHA, finishing the campaign with 74 points, including 32 goals. “He’s [Campese] a competitive guy who shoots the puck really

well,” Bonner said. “I think he’s going to score eventually in this league. He’s a young guy, so it’s going to take some time.” Campese has a fan in Blazers’ assistant coach Mike Needham, who left the OHA program this season to join the Blue and Orange. The trade leaves Kamloops with 15 forwards on the roster, a number likely to change sooner than later. “We probably won’t keep 15 forever,” Bonner said.

Sa-Hali falls to St. Michael’s in provincial final The Sa-Hali Sabres placed second at the AA boys B.C. Secondary Schools Soccer Championship in Burnaby, falling 1-0 to St. Michael’s of Victoria in yesterday’s (Nov. 19) final. St. Michael’s scored late in

the first half and the Sabres were unable to find an equalizer. “We pushed and pushed and pushed, but we just couldn’t put it away when we needed to,” Sa-Hali head coach Mary Bartucci said after the game. “It was a good battle,

back and forth.” Sa-Hali downed the Brookswood Bobcats 3-0 in semifinal play on Tuesday. The Sabres rolled through the round-robin, posting 2-0 wins over Abbotsford Traditional, Mark Isfeld of Courtenay

Taylor a surprise winner on PGA Tour Finally, in the Nick of time, a Canadian has broken through on the PGA Tour. Everybody thought that breakthrough would come from Weyburn’s Graham DeLaet, who has been on the cusp of winning four or five times, but continually falling short. “He’s the next great golfer from Canada,” the experts said. Suddenly, though, Nick Taylor of Abbotsford beat DeLaet and other Canadians to the winner’s finish line on the PGA Tour, winning the Sanderson Farms Championship Nov. 9 in only his seventh Tour start as a pro. The Taylor victory came when most of the golf world’s biggest names were either competing in China (Bubba Watson, Rickie Fowler, etc.), on self-imposed leave — wink, wink! — (Dustin Johnson), on the injured list (Tiger Woods) or preparing for an important lawsuit (Rory McIlroy). Still, the ‘opposite field’ Sanderson Farms Championship had a definite PGA Tour aura to it, with Taylor beating the likes of veterans David Toms, Boo Weekley, Lucas Glover, John Rollins and a host of hungry youngsters similar to himself who all live up to the Tour’s slogan, “These guys are good.” To Canadian golf watchers, a Nick Taylor victory was not as surprising as it might have been to Golf Channel announcers, who seemed to be scrambling for information about the 26-year-old as he was storming from four shots behind in the final

“Quote, unquote”

BRUCE PENTON round to shoot 66 and beat Weekley and Jason Bohn by two strokes. Taylor won the Canadian junior in 2006, captured a Canadian men’s Amateur title at Saskatoon Riverside in 2007 and had a stellar college golf career at the University of Washington. Five years ago, he was the No. 1 ranked amateur in the world. He overcame a 2014 mid-season Web.com tour slump (missing six cuts in a row) to shoot 63 in the final round of the Web.com Tour Championship at TPC Sawgrass to earn his card. His Sanderson Farms victory is good for a two-year exemption, automatic entries into the PGA, Players Championship and Tournament of Champions at Kapalua, and the stress-relieving ability to pick and choose where he wants to play. Now Canadian golf fans have another of their own to root for. With Taylor, DeLaet, David Hearn, Adam Hadwin and Roger Sloan, the Maple Leaf is making its mark on the Tour with a talented new breed. “I am so privileged to be the first,” Taylor told the National Post, “but I won’t be the last.”

What better place for the Raiders than San Antonio where the oddsmakers still have them rated slight favourites over the results of the Alamo.” • Columnist John Hawkins on golfchannel.com, on the recent HSBC championship in China: “(PGA Tour headquarters) must be delighted that 40 of the world’s top 50 players made it to Sheshan International, a total which doesn’t include Patrick Reed’s etiquette coach.” • Randy Turner of the Winnipeg Free Press, on Twitter: “The result of a specialist’s examination of Connor McDavid’s hands has been concluded: They are, in fact, made of gold.” • Bud Shaw of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, on Steelers safety Mike Mitchell launching himself over the line into the Jets’ victory formation: “In Mitchell’s defense, who knew the Jets had a victory formation?” • Comedy writer Alan Ray, on Justin Bieber visiting a Steeler players’ faith meeting: “He wanted to worship with the New York Giants, but they don’t have a prayer.” • Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “Gene Keady, former Purdue men’s basketball coach, confessed that for years he paid a hairdresser $600 per week to dye his hair,

For Logan Lake Pond Hockey Classic lovers, word of the 2014 tournament’s cancellation, due to unfavourable ice conditions, was a crushing blow. There is much better news to report for 2015: The tourney is back and better than ever, according to organizers, with the action set to run from Jan. 16 to Jan. 18. “After being so disappointed last year, we’re excited this year,” said Dave Prentice, president of the Logan Lake Pond Hockey Society. “This past week’s weather has been exactly what we ordered. People are out on the ice now.” The society was infused with a $30,000 grant from the Logan Lake Community Forest Corporation. “We have new iceclearing equipment this year. We’re hoping that’ll make it a lot easier on our volunteers,” Prentice said. “That was always the struggle, to make their job easier. It’s tough at the best of times, being

out there in the cold and the snow.” Organizers have already purchased a new ATV to help maintain the rinks and the grant brings stability to the tournament’s future. “The beauty of that money is it takes so much pressure off us,” Prentice said. “It gives us a nice cushion knowing we can survive for a number of years.” The society is looking for volunteers and encouraging spectators to come out to Logan Lake. There will be food vendors and a beer garden on site. For information on volunteering, email Prentice at dcprentice@

gmail.com or call him at 250-319-0865. Anyone with an ATV is welcome to aid with ice maintenance. “It’s kind of a unique, fun event and it’s a great spectacle,” Prentice said. Registration is still open, with about 10 teams already having paid their fees. “We are in the same spot as we usually are at this time,” said Prentice, noting registration will be cut off at 30 teams. “We love to have things looked after well in advance, but it takes time to track people down and make a commitment.” There are three divisions — silver, gold and platinum — to choose from, each offering a different level of competition. To register, go online to loganlakepondhockey.ca. Prentice, in a new wrinkle, is encouraging the general public to come out to Logan Lake at any time during the outdoor skating season. “We’ll have rinks available if people want to come down,” Prentice said.

Super League curling results The Sun Life Financial Super League’s Week 6 draws were played at Kamloops Curling Club on Monday, Nov. 17.

Blacktop) 6-5; and Klymchuk topped Olsen (Subway) 9-4. After Week 6, Nelson leads the league with 10 points, two points up on DeCap and four points ahead of Klymchuk. Brown, Russett and Ihlen are tied in fourth place with five points each, while Thompson, with four points, and Olsen, with three points, are at the bottom.

The future of TRU WolfPack hockey is no clearer after a meeting between Trevor Bast and Ken Olynyk on Monday, Nov. 17. According to Bast, the meeting ended with Olynyk notifying the group he would take their proposal to Matt Milovick, TRU’s VP of finance and administration, when the VP returned from China after Dec. 2. “We will continue to pursue financial commitments in the meantime, but it is very discouraging we will not be the ones passionately presenting our proposal to the other decision maker [Milovick], as I will not likely be travelling back for that,” Bast, who lives in Victoria, said in an email to KTW. Olynyk told KTW the proposal was more or less what he expected. “I think what he’s looking for is for us to endorse the hockey team,” Olynyk said. “I said I couldn’t do that at this time.” He added the athletics department and the university will need to decide if they want to continue with their

HOW WE MET Chalking up a chance meeting JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

reg Atwater and Christine Gervais just met. They were each having a drink at the Kamloops Inn when Christine felt like shooting pool. Her friends weren’t interested, so she asked around and Greg obliged. “Just letting you know, I’m going to kick your ass,” she says with a laugh. The bar, an old firehall on Victoria Street, is known for its early hours, pool tables, jukebox and cheap tallboys. The entrance may seem uninviting to those who don’t come around often, but the inside is welcoming, with a whole lot of character. The patrons have all kinds of stories — ones that most are willing to share over a drink or a game of pool. The jukebox in the corner is quiet as Christine breaks. She is stripes. Greg is solids. They don’t know much more than that about each other — yet. Greg tries for a two-four combo. He hits the white ball and immediately says

“Scratch,” knowing full-well he didn’t make the perfect shot. He misses and drains the white ball as predicted, but the solid-green six ball rolls in slowly and unexpectedly. “Bonus,” he says, eying up his Pilsner. A few shots in and the stories begin. Christine’s dad taught her to shoot pool when she was about 12 or 13. She studied trades at Thompson Rivers University a couple years back. Greg has a niece who competes in Roller Derby. He comes around the bar more often in the winter because it’s warm inside. They don’t know much more about each other, apart from whose shot is next. Christine aims her cue, but muffs it. She doesn’t seem to be on her way to kicking Greg’s ass anytime soon, but Greg won’t hold her to it. For him, visits to the Kami Inn aren’t much about the pool anyway — it’s all about the “camaraderie.” “I’ll let you shoot again,” he says. “Chalk it up to experience.”

Granite Developments Inc. of Kamloops is a finalist in this year’s Georgie Awards, which honour the province’s best in homebuilding. Granite is a finalist in the category of Best Residential Renovation $300,000 to $499,999 for its Chukar Drive project.

“Submissions were at the highest level in several years, signalling the health of the residential construction industry in British Columbia,” Canadian Home Builders’ Association BC CEO Neil Moody said. “The level of quality, skill, professionalism and excellence of our association’s members is reflected in this year’s outstanding entries.” The Georgies will be handed out on Feb. 27 at the 23rd annual awards gala at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Vancouver.

IVY SHORT

NORMAN MAHER

Ivy Short (nee Henderson) was born November 29, 1928 in Glasgow, Scotland, the youngest of fourteen children to Thomas and Elizabeth Henderson. Ivy passed away peacefully at sunrise on November 11, 2014 at Ridgeview Lodge in Kamloops, BC.

Norman Maher of Kamloops passed away on Tuesday, November 11, 2014 at 70 years of age, four days short of his 71st birthday. He will be lovingly remembered by his partner of 33 years, Larry Mason and Addam, his canine companion and second love. Norman is also survived by his Christian Children’s Fund Child, Nuhu Alhassan of Ghana, South Africa; siblings Muirel Maher, Ginette La Fleur, and Jocelyne Maher; treasured in-laws Margaret Rhatican, Teresa Keenan, Sharon Riviera and their families; and ten nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brother Alain Maher, mother Madeline LaBelle and father Leo Maher.

Ivy is survived by her three daughters, Elizabeth Folk (Rick), Eleanor Clovechok and Karen Short (Tim Smith), and her beloved grandchildren Kevin Folk (Kate), Andrea Folk and Kelsey Clovechok, as well as many nieces and nephews. Ivy grew up in Glasgow during World War II, and left school at fourteen to work in the accounting department of a distillery. Bookkeeping became her vocation, both in Glasgow and Kamloops, where she retired from Fulton & Company in 1980. Growing up her passions were singing, tennis and dancing. This led Ivy to meeting her dance partner for life, Jim Short, at a dance hall in 1951. Married in 1953, they started a family in 1956 with the arrival of twins, Elizabeth and Eleanor. Ivy and Jim sought a better life for their family, and immigrated to Kamloops in 1966, where their youngest daughter Karen was born in 1969. Ivy worked at Barton Black and Robertson, Royal Inland Hospital and Fulton & Company until her retirement in 1980. Although she battled rheumatoid arthritis for 35 years, her spirit and will was indefatigable. Ivy was well known as a versatile singer, joining many local bands to play at dances at the Legion, the Elks and other halls. She also volunteered many afternoons entertaining at local nursing homes with “The Good Time Boys” and Ruth Summers Katz, and was a founding member of the Kamloops Swing and Jazz Society. A trivia master, Ivy will be remembered for her sharp mind, quick wit and kind and generous nature. She loved people and took a sincere interest in their lives.

In the words of Norman’s doctor, “Norman danced to a different beat.” You never knew what was next, but he had a special charm few could resist. He told it like it was, from his point of view. Please join us to celebrate a life well lived and full of love and laughs. Rest in peace my love until I see your beautiful smile again and remember, “I’m everything I am because you loved me.” ~ Larry

The family is especially thankful for the compassionate care shown to Mum by her devoted niece Catherine Henderson, and the staff of Ponderosa Lodge, Ridgeview Lodge and Dr. Howie.

Special thanks the staff of 7 North at R.I.H., Dr. Isabel Barnard & Sam, and to the staff of Pratt’s Pharmacy for their care of Norman.

A celebration of Ivy’s life will take place on Saturday, November 22, 2014 at 1:00 pm, at Schoening Funeral Home.

The Celebration of this wonderful man’s life will take place from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm on Sunday, November 23, 2014 at the Dorian Greek House Restaurant, 430 Victoria Street.

Should friends desire, donations to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation in Ivy’s memory would be greatly appreciated. Online condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Brenda Lee (nee MacKenzie) passed away quietly with dignity, Thursday, November 6, 2014 in Kamloops, BC. Survived by her loving devoted husband of 47 years, Gordon, daughter Michelle, son Steve (Tammy), and her cherished grandchildren, Theron, Kylie, Rhys and Haley. She also leaves behind her step-mother Anne MacKenzie, brothers Gary (Bernie) and Randy (Fiona), and her nieces and nephews, Erin, Jason (Pam), Ryan, Madison, Barry and Joanna. Brenda was predeceased by her father, Don MacKenzie, her mother Mabel MacKenzie, Gordon’s mother Elma and her own special family, Lillian and Russell Greenall. Brenda was a proud person from humble upbringings. She was an army brat and lived in many places ending up in Merritt where she made life long friendships and met the man that would become her husband and soul mate, Gordie. Together it was their mission to raise a family of two, as she would say, “So other people could stand them”. Brenda loved to see her family succeed. In the kid’s sports and hobbies, you could always see her glowing as she watched. She supported Gordie through his work career and was well respected and successful in her chosen field as a real estate agent for 20 plus years. The battle with cancer began 25 years ago. She fought long and hard. Her openness in fighting this dreaded disease gave inspiration, insight and most of all, hope to others. Brenda’s spirit could never be broken. During her tenacious battle, Brenda volunteered with many organizations. Her favorites included Soroptomist International, which she represented on an exchange to Japan, and of course the Cancer Society which she was part of their annual Daffodil campaign.

HAZEL WOODCOCK Claire Hazel Woodcock was born in White Fox, Saskatchewan on March 14, 1924. She died on November 12, 2014 at 90 years of age. She was predeceased by husband Kenneth “Red” Woodcock in January 1998. She is survived by son Kenneth Wayne (Donna) and daughters Beverly Kushner (Edward) and Rhonda Stoddard (Mark); grandchildren Andrea (Jason), René (Greg), Hayley, Katya, Donnie (Tamie), Lee, Dana (David), Lanis (Dustin), Melissa and Stephanie; great-grandchildren Siena, Haiden, Corbin, Tiegan, Hunter and Makayla; survived by Roy (Doris), Jerome (Myrtle), Esther, Carol (Edward), Dale, and Doris (Hank); and numerous nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents Jerome and Emily Jarvis, brothers Harold and Jim, and sisters Edith, Lucille, Gladys (Dolly) and Eileen. Mom was raised in a family of 13 on a homestead in Saskatchewan and a farm at Reid Lake, B.C. Focus was on family first. She kept an immaculate home and enjoyed cooking, baking and caring for family. She was raised in a musical family and seldom sat out a dance. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were so special to her. Their pictures lit up each room in her little place. Her final days were punctuated by family, laughter and conversation.

Charlotte Lee June 16, 1937 – Novemer 20, 2007 Seven years have gone since you were taken away, Although at times it seems only a day, Some sorrow has passed while much still remains, I know now that life will never be the same. I think of you daily, through laughter and tears, And wish we could go back to earlier years But since I must go on without you here, My thoughts and memories will keep you near. The sun still rises and sets, days still come and go, How I’ve gone on without you here, Somehow, I’ll never know. You live in a special place deep within my heart, And there you will remain, To be a part of me throughout my life Until we meet again.

Your loving husband always, Billy and Lynne, Gordon, Lyle & families

When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me, I want no tears or gloom-filled room Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little - but not too long, And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we all shared, Miss me - but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take, And each must go alone It’s all part of the Master’s plan A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart See family and friends we know Take time to heal, tho’ we must part Miss me - but let me go. ~ Author Unknown

Ă˛ Obituaries & In Memoriam Ă´ REITA MARGARET WRIGHT

ELSIE MOODIE It is with sadness that we announce that our mother, Elsie Marie Moodie, 86, passed away Wednesday, November 12, 2014.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, grandmother, sister and aunt, Reita Margaret Wright on Sunday, November 16, 2014. Reita passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family.

She was born to the late Kasper and Mary Nestman, July 2,1928 in Wilcox, Saskatchewan. When she was young, the family moved to Arborfield, SK where she met and married the late Robert Moodie on her 19th birthday in 1947. After a few years of being the wife of a farmer, a butcher and a miner, the family moved to Kelowna, BC in 1966 where her parents lived. They lived and worked in Kelowna until a move to Prince George in 1973 but after five years, they really missed the Okanagan and the nice weather so they moved back to Kelowna. Here they stayed until Dad passed away in 1988. Mom lived on her own, and then for a short time with her son Rick before moving to Kamloops in 2000 to live with her eldest daughter, Lee . Here she stayed until her death. Mom was mostly a stay-at-home Mom who made the best bread and apple pies ever. She shared many enjoyable years with her husband Bob, treasure-hunting at yard sales and finding furniture to refinish. Everyone knew her love of cats and she had many during her life; she was known for looking after any stray that came to her door. In July, the family was told that Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time on this earth would be short and the last few months she was blessed by many visits from her children and grandchildren . She was predeceased by her husband Robert Moodie, parents Kasper and Mary Nestman, brothers George (Henriette) Nessman and Alfred Nessman, and sisters Gertrude Brochu (Joseph), Madelyn Speed (Percy), Margaret Meeks (Clarence), Teresa Brown and Martha Nestman. She is survived by her seven children: Lee Reid (Ron), Patty Friesen (Jerry), Robb (Ellen), Gary (Emiko), Rick (Leona), Earl (Lidia) and David (Julie) as well as twenty grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren. Elsie is also survived by her sister-in-law Tess Nessman, along with many nieces and nephews from all over Canada and the US. Special thanks to Dr. Kip, Dr. DeWitt, Dr. Hopp and all the doctors, nurses and staff on 6 North at Royal Inland Hospital for their wonderful care. In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity of your choice. Prayers will be held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church on Friday, November 21 at 7:00 pm.

At this time of year, we feel our losses most keenly. Please join us to remember those whom we have loved and lost...

ROBERT JORGEN PETERSEN Robert Jorgen Petersen died suddenly in Kamloops on November 15, 2014 at the age of 57. Rob was predeceased by his mother Doris and his brother James. He is survived by his wife Judy and his son, Nigel, both of Kamloops, his father Henning; his brothers Gordon and Jeff and sister Sheila, and their respective spouses and children. Rob was born on December 8, 1956 in Edmonton, AB. Music was the cornerstone of his life; as a child he spent hours playing the piano and guitar, as well as listening to and composing music. Rob had a talent for drama and worked as a child actor for years at the CBC as the voice of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brianâ&#x20AC;? in a radio show. Rob had a special talent for imitating voices; we will never forget him singing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happy Birthdayâ&#x20AC;? in Bob Dylanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice to his laughing wife. Rob played live music in various bands in his â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;20â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and then decided to focus on music education as a career. He graduated with distinction in the Faculty of Education from the University of Alberta in 1989, and later received his Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Degree from Gonzaga University. Rob met his wife Judy at the University of Alberta; they were married in Edmonton in 1992 and their son Nigel was born in Kamloops in 1995. Rob began teaching at Our Lady of Perpetual Help School, then went on to teach at St. Annâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Academy and Thompson Riversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; University (then UCC), leading the college and VÂ&#x153;Â&#x201C;Â&#x201C;Ă&#x2022;Â&#x2DC;Â&#x2C6;Ă&#x152;Ă&#x17E;Ă&#x160;VÂ&#x2026;Â&#x153;Â&#x2C6;Ă&#x20AC;Â°Ă&#x160;,Â&#x153;LĂ&#x160;Ă&#x153;>Ă&#x192;Ă&#x160;>Ă&#x160;ÂľĂ&#x2022;Â&#x2C6;iĂ&#x152;Â?Ă&#x17E;Ă&#x160;iĂ?ViÂŤĂ&#x152;Â&#x2C6;Â&#x153;Â&#x2DC;>Â?Ă&#x160;Â&#x201C;>Â&#x2DC;]Ă&#x160;>Â&#x2DC;`Ă&#x160;Â&#x2026;Â&#x2C6;Ă&#x192;Ă&#x160;Ă&#x203A;>Ă&#x192;Ă&#x152;Ă&#x160;Â&#x2C6;Â&#x2DC;yĂ&#x2022;iÂ&#x2DC;ViĂ&#x160;Â&#x2C6;Â&#x2DC;Ă&#x160;>Â&#x2DC;`Ă&#x160;Ă&#x152;Â&#x153;Ă&#x160;Ă&#x152;Â&#x2026;iĂ&#x160; community of Kamloops reflects the gentle yet persistent way in which he lived his life. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seek the spotlight, but he was a born leader, a great organizer and conductor. He so loved Kamloops and all the children and families in whose lives he was able to infuse a lifelong passion for music. He had extremely high standards for excellence in himself and had a gift for bringing this out in others. Rob had an amazing mind and a rather cynical sense of humour; his talent lay in storytelling and in succinct and sharp, witty one-liners. Rob loved going camping with his son Nigel, and spent most of the hot summers at Riverside Park, swimming in Lac Le Jeune, and visiting his family in Calgary, playing chess with his brother Gordon. Rob was a voracious reader, who always had three or four books on the go at once, an avid cyclist, and above all a brilliant musician, husband, father, and teacher. He had a special bond with his son Nigel; they shared a love and passion for classical music, especially Mahler and Beethoven, and for jazz and blues. We will all miss the integrity Ă&#x153;Â&#x2C6;Ă&#x152;Â&#x2026;Ă&#x160; Ă&#x153;Â&#x2026;Â&#x2C6;VÂ&#x2026;Ă&#x160; ,Â&#x153;LĂ&#x160; Â?Â&#x2C6;Ă&#x203A;i`Ă&#x160; Â&#x2026;Â&#x2C6;Ă&#x192;Ă&#x160; Â?Â&#x2C6;vi]Ă&#x160; Â&#x2026;Â&#x2C6;Ă&#x192;Ă&#x160; Ă&#x20AC;iĂ&#x192;ÂŤiVĂ&#x152;Ă&#x160; vÂ&#x153;Ă&#x20AC;Ă&#x160; >Â?Â?Ă&#x160; Â?Â&#x2C6;Ă&#x203A;Â&#x2C6;Â&#x2DC;}Ă&#x160; Ă&#x152;Â&#x2026;Â&#x2C6;Â&#x2DC;}Ă&#x192;]Ă&#x160; Â&#x2026;Â&#x2C6;Ă&#x192;Ă&#x160; ÂľĂ&#x2022;Â&#x2C6;VÂ&#x17D;Ă&#x160; Ă&#x153;Â&#x2C6;Ă&#x152;]Ă&#x160; >Â&#x2DC;`Ă&#x160; Â&#x2026;i>Ă&#x20AC;Â&#x2C6;Â&#x2DC;}Ă&#x160; him say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wake up and smell the coffee!â&#x20AC;? Robâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gentle and generous spirit will be greatly missed by his family and by all who knew him.

The Little Unicorn

by Peggy Kociscin,Albuquerque, New Mexico

There lived a little unicorn (From when the earth was new), His coat so white it glistened, His eyes a sparkling blue. In innocence and beauty, He danced through woods and streams. The animals danced with him, His heart aglow with dreams. He laughed and played with rainbows, So happy all day through, He loved to kiss the flowers As their petals shone with dew.

But, as he grew and learned of life, The sparkle in his eye Grew misty as he realized Just what it means to cry.

The unicorn tried tirelessly, And gave the climb his best; But he felt it was not good enough, He felt heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d failed the test.

He learned that there are shadows In spite of shining sun. The more he grew, he found that life Was never always fun.

He could not understand it When he felt himself rejected â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When all his gentle being asked Was but to be accepted.

For now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d learn of feelings That come from deep within; No longer in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;dream worldâ&#x20AC;? Where (for so long) heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been.

All this was just too much for him, He knew not what to do. That he was special as himself, Somehow, he never knew.

His gentle heart desired But to know the pleasure of To give and to receive The very precious gift of love.

His spirit crushed, he felt defeated, And lonely tears would start. Not understanding how to love, It simply broke his heart.

To love meant to be happy, And yet it also brought him pain; For those he loved could hurt him Again.. and yet again.

But now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a loving place Where all his pain has ceased, Where all accepted him and his love, Where all he knows is peace.

He wandered through the meadows In the moonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soft, silver light. He loved to gaze at all the stars That lightened up the night.

His mother held him lovingly And tried to ease his fears About the sadness life could bring... The lonely, bitter tears.

He listened to the music Of the birds that graced the trees. He frolicked with the butterflies And raced the gentle breeze.

She said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life is like a mountain, (And surely this is true) That we must climb as best we can. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;around or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;through.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

A loving Being tells him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re delightful as you are.â&#x20AC;? His spirit free, his brilliance now Outshines the brightest star!

Charlotte Ford paints while filmed by Igor Kostin for Creating With Karla Pearce.

PEARCE FINDS ART IN TELEVISION â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s significant that somebody has put the effort into producing a show that is high enough quality . . . to run on the station.

â&#x20AC;?

KARLA PEARCE IS CLOSING HER DOWNTOWN ART GALLERY, BUT IS EXPANDING HER TELEVISION SHOW JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jesscia@kamloopsthisweek.com

arla Pearce is looking forward to a new challenge. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reason the Kamloops artist is trading in her paintbrush this month to focus on television. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sad,â&#x20AC;? Pearce

said. Her locally produced art show, Creating with Karla Pearce, has been featured on Shaw TV

Kamloops for about a year. Beginning on Saturday, Nov. 22, the show will also appear on CFJC TV, expanding her viewership to about 200,000, she said. In order to focus on the hosting, writing and producing the show, Pearce will be closing down her downtown gallery at the end of the month, which has been located at 607 Victoria St. for about three years and features original artwork, shows and classes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hardest part is saying goodbye to the kids,â&#x20AC;? she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best part is closing one door and opening up another one.â&#x20AC;? Pearce finds comfort in knowing sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not shutting down the space for financial reasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m closing it because I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time to follow through with both projects effectively,â&#x20AC;? she said. Pearce sees television as a form of art, one even more difficult than painting, she said, which she will continue as a hobby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many different aspects [to television],â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Speaking in front of the camera, moving, voiceovers . . . â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;With a painting, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very straight forward.â&#x20AC;?

17th Annual Choral Rhapsody of Christmas at Sagebrush Theatre

CFJC takes on local program

Nine community choirs will be presenting a delightful selection of Christmas carols with sing-a-longs in between sets for audience participation. The concert is sponsored by the City of Kamloops, Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services and although the event is of no charge, food and cash donations for the Kamloops Food Bank will be gratefully accepted. To reserve your seat please book your ticket in advance, through Kamloops Box Office Live by phone at 250-374-5483, in-person at 1025 Lorne Street or online www.kamloopslive.ca.

From page B1

The focus of her show — which is directed, filmed and edited by Igor Kostin — is the creative process, rather than the finished product. In a recent episode, for example, she went to the salmon run with a TRU professor. “We were painting, but it’s not necessarily about how to paint salmon in a river, it’s about the process of getting out there,” she said.

“At the end, yes — we both had paintings, but that was almost not as exciting as getting there.” Doug Collins, CFJC-TV director of news, information and television operations, said when Pearce approached him with the idea of running her show on the station, he watched a sample and thought it was a good fit. “We’re always looking for good local programming,” Collins said. Collins said the station

doesn’t get offered many programs that are produced locally by third parties. “It’s significant that somebody has put the effort into producing a show that is high enough quality that it has potential to run on the station,” he said. “We’re happy to utilize it.” “She’s put a lot of effort into it. “I’m quite excited about it and I think the community will enjoy seeing it.” Creating with Karla Pearce

premieres at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 22, on CFJCTV with a special half-hour episode. It will run in 15-minute episodes subsequently on weekends at 3 p.m. It will also continue to be featured on Shaw TV. • Meanwhile, the Karla Pearce Art Gallery will close on Nov. 29, with an art auction after the Santa Claus Parade.

Public Notice of Intent Proposed Road Name Change:

Long Lake Road

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure gives notice pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Transportation Act that an application has been made to change the name of the south end of Long Lake Road, located near Stump Lake on Highway 5A, to Kullagh Lake Road. The purpose of the proposed name change is to correct an existing road name duplication. Anyone wanting to provide comments of support or opposition to the proposed name change should do so in writing no later than November 27, 2014, to the Thompson Nicola District Office at 447 Columbia Street, Kamloops, B.C., V2C 2T3. For more information, please contact District Development Approvals Technician Megan Cullinane at 250 371-3796 or by e-mail at Megan.Cullinane@gov.bc.ca.

Last year’s TRU Law Santa Swimsuit Run on Victoria Street raised $2,000 for the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation. In the event’s second year, the group is hoping to surpass that amount.

Getting chilly for charity University students will be brushing off their Santa speedos this weekend for the second annual TRU Law Santa Swimsuit Run. The students will run through a chilly downtown on Saturday, Nov. 22, beginning at 2 p.m. on Victoria St. near the Commodore.

MoTI Ad #1069 Long Lake Road Name Change

Vivace Chorale

They will complete a onekilometre jaunt, raising funds for the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation. Last year marked the first event, which raised $2,000 after students felt they wanted to get in touch with the Kamloops community by raising funds for a local charity.

This year, students are hoping to surpass last year’s total and are willing to brave the weather, come rain, snow or freak weather. To make a donation, go online to kamloopssantarun. com. Come down and cheer on the brave runners.

The campaign runs on Friday and Saturday nights, from Nov. 28 to Dec. 27, in addition to New Year’s Eve. The service is offered confidentially and by donation to any person operating a vehicle and who does not wish to drive their car for any reason. A person does not have to be drinking to use the service. The organization runs solely on volunteers and this year’s campaign requires 250 people willing to give up some time. Volunteer posi-

When you eat food contain• Prevent obesity: Low GI foods ing carbohydrates, glucose breaks digest more slowly and stay in down during digestion and gives your stomach longer. you energy. This makes you feel full longer,

resulting in consuming fewer calories and making it easier to control weight. In addition, low GI foods do not cause blood-glucose levels to spike. Prevent Type 2 diabetes: High GI foods may increase the body’s demand for insulin and raise the workload of the pancreas. Some researchers believe eating a diet rich in high GI foods for many years may cause the pancreas to wear out, resulting in Type 2 diabetes. Eating low GI foods can ease the demand on the pancreas. • Manage diabetes: Eating low-GI foods helps control blood glucose and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin. These foods do not break down into sugar as quickly and can keep

blood glucose from spiking, which allows the body to keep up with insulin demands. For those with diabetes, controlling blood glucose plays an important role in preventing the serious complications of the disease. • Prevent heart disease: HighGI foods can raise cholesterol and triglyceride levels, increasing the risk of heart disease. In contrast, consuming low-GI foods keeps blood-glucose and insulin levels in check. Some evidence suggests low-GI foods reduce total blood cholesterol and bad LDL cholesterol, while increasing heart-friendly, good HDL cholesterol. Including lower GI foods in your diet can be easy. Eat more whole-grain pasta,

legumes, vegetables and low-fat dairy products. Try using vinaigrette dressings instead of creamy dressings. They are lower in fat and the acidity of the vinegar slows digestion, lowering your meal’s GI. Choose breads that contain a high proportion of whole or cracked grains, stone-ground whole wheat flour, oats, bran and seeds. Aim to include at least one lowGI food in each meal. For information on GI food ratings, go online to diabetes.ca. Some great low-GI food recipes can be found online at lowgimeals.com.

LORNE DRURY

METROLAND MEDIA

ow in its fourth generation, the Subaru Forester had a significant overhaul last year and for 2015 there are relatively few changes. But, what’s there to change in a vehicle that is selling like hotcakes, particularly when it sits in the highly competitive compact SUV segment. While it doesn’t sell in Ford Escape numbers (40,584 units as of the end of September), the Forester had sales of 9,555 units in the first nine months of the year, up 19 per cent over the previous year. That makes it an extremely important vehicle for the Subaru brand, accounting for about one-quarter of all their sales in Canada. At one time, Subaru was a niche player in the Canadian market with a loyal customer base that swore by the reliability and durability of the brand. Over the years, though, the brand has become more mainstream with less quirky designs that appeal to a broader customer base. But, what hasn’t changed is Subaru’s commitment to allwheel drive. All Subaru products continue to have fulltime symmetrical allwheel drive, a feature that die-hard loyalists wouldn’t want to live without. When the new generation Forester was launched last year, probably only Subaru aficionados would have noticed that the look was bolder this time around. While the footprint of the

Forester was not much different, the cabin is roomier, both in front and rear. The project manager for the new-generation Forester was Takuji Dai, whose goals were to enhance the core strengths of the previous generation — safety, utility and performance — and improve on the weak points such as fuel economy, interior roominess and the transmission. It appears he was successful on all fronts. The fuel economy ratings have improved. In fact, the Forester boasts best-in-class fuel efficiency among compact SUVs with full-time all-wheel drive. As well, there is more rear seat legroom than before and the Lineartronic continuously variable transmission (CVT) is a step forward from the previous four-speed automatic. Meanwhile, with the direct injection turbo 2.0-litre, power is up from 223 to 250 hp over the previous generation even with the improvements in fuel economy. The turbo is one of two engine choices, the other being a naturally aspirated 170 hp 2.5-litre four-cylinder Subaru Boxer engine. Our tester was the 2.5i Touring model with the optional Technology Package, priced at $32,495. The Forester starts at $25,995 for the standard 2.5i model with manual transmission, jumping to $37,895 for the 2.0XT Limited Package with Technology Option. For 2015, the base model gets a standard rear-view camera. All models with the CVT get X-mode with Hill Descent Control.

DRIVEWAY

More of a utilitarian vehicle than fashion statement From B15

ance — higher than many crossovers and SUVs. Electric power steering is standard. This generation Forester is more passenger-friendly with lowered side sills (38 mm lower) for easy ingress along with wider rear door openings, making it easier to accommodate child seats in the rear. Outward visibility has always been a strong point of the Forester and it’s been improved even more with tweaks like higher front seats, relocation of the exterior mirrors and the A-pillar and the addition of a rear view camera for all models.

The system works together with all-wheel drive to provide extra control in slippery driving conditions. The manual transmission is standard on the 2.5i entry level and optional on the Touring package as is the CVT. All other trim levels get the CVT only, while a high-torque version of the CVT with steering wheelmounted paddle shifters is standard on the directinjection turbo model. For those who enjoy off-road adventures, the Forester enjoys 220 mm of ground clear-

Some observers compare sitting in the Forester to being in a fishbowl, there is such an expanse of glass all round. On the outside, the styling is far from cutting edge. The Forester is a tall wagon, more of a utilitarian vehicle than a fashion statement and for Subaru loyalists this is just fine. It drives and rides like a compact car, yet it has an incredible amount of rear seat legroom and room to carry five adults. Cargo capacity is 2,115 litres with the rear seats folded and a spacious 974 litres with the seats upright.

The rear hatch has a low and wide opening that is easy to access. Our tester came with a power liftgate, handy when you have your hands full with bags of groceries. The standard 60/40 split rear seats fold flat to the floor and add more versatility to the cargo bay. Leather seating is available, but heated front cloth seats are standard across the board, even on the base model. Subaru engines are not the quietest on the market and when you add a bit of whine from the CVT transmissions on acceleration, the Forester cabin can be a

bit noisy until the vehicle is at speed. At highway cruising speeds, the noise abates except for some wind noise that one would expect with a tall, boxy vehicle such as this. Our tester’s Technology Package included the EyeSight system that Subaru calls a “second set of eyes watching out for you.” The system uses two cameras that monitor what’s in front of you and provides four different types of preventive assistance. First is adaptive cruise control that maintains a set

speed and automatically adjusts that speed to keep a set distance behind the vehicle in front. Second is pre-collision braking that gradually slows or stops the car when it sees a panic braking situation. Third is pre-collision throttle management that cuts power from a standing start when it detects an object in front. Although the footprint of the 2015 Forester is only slightly larger, the interior is much roomier than the previous generation. Cargo capacity is up nine per cent to 2,115 litres with the rear seat folded.
