The St. Ann’s Academy Rising Stars chorus performs at yesterday’s (Nov. 20) memorial service for music teacher Rob Petersen, who died last weekend when the bike he was riding was struck by a vehicle. For those wishing to make a donation to help the Petersen family, an account (#CAHKBC 460043676-150 Judith Petersen) has been set up at HSBC.

They sing because of Mr. Petersen DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Tyler Fernie may have created the best image of his music teacher, Rob Petersen.

The Grade 7 student at St. Ann’s Academy told the hundreds who packed the school gym for Petersen’s memorial yesterday (Nov. 20) that he will forever picture Petersen “rambling up the Stairway to Heaven.”

The genesis of the memory goes back to a time of music and students and fun, Tyler told the audience, one that revolved around the two of them wisecracking about the classic Led Zeppelin song.

Tyler and fellow Grade 7 student Tatjana Savage delivered eulogies for Petersen, who died on Nov. 15 when a vehicle struck him as he was riding his bike.

Tatjana talked about Petersen — who also taught at Our Lady of Perpetual Help school — caring so deeply about his Rising Stars chorus.

She said she’s sad he won’t be there to con-

tinue watching students like her — who learned from Petersen how to play recorder and harmonica — “get better and grow more confident.”

The gym at St. Ann’s was packed and awash with red, Petersen’s favourite colour. Earlier that day, a similar memorial was held at OLPH and today, there will be a funeral and reception at 11 a.m. at Our Lady of Perpetual Hope Church on Tranquille Road.

Petersen’s wife, Judy, said the reception will be a time of music for anyone who wants to share it with the group, or just memories through an open mic.

St. Ann’s principal Shawn Chisholm said the week has been difficult, but his staff and Father Andrew L’Heureux quickly got to work to plan the service.

Fittingly, it was filled with music, not only from the Rising Stars, but from alumni Jared Doherty and Jared Wilman, who played drums and guitar alongside the choir. Teachers Tony Cuzzetto and Margaret Langevin conducted the choir, which encompassed singers from elemen-

tary and secondary grades.

Chisholm said the loss is massive, one he cannot contemplate addressing from the simple perspective of who will take over the position, who will help coach the basketball team or who will share a love of music again with the students.

One of the readings during the service was from the Bible, First Corinthians, chapter 13, the well-known words on love. L’Heureux said it’s an unusual reading to include in a funeral mass, but someone once told him the way to tell if you have made an impact on the world is to replace the word “love” with your name.

“Mr. Petersen is patient. Mr. Petersen is kind.

Mr. Petersen does not envy. He does not boast.

He is not proud,” the priest said.

“Mr. Petersen is a model for us if we want to become a great Canadian,” he concluded, thanking the teacher for how “he built up each and every one of us.

“The only reason we sing today is because of Mr. Petersen.”

Trial: Mounties promised food, cash, sex to accused CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

In the days preceding Robert Balbar’s confession to Mr. Big that he murdered his spouse, undercover Mounties plied him with food and money, along with promises of sex and thousands of dollars more.

During cross-examination yesterday (Nov. 20), defence lawyer Jim Blazina went through detailed accounts of the increasingly elaborate undercover sting set up by the RCMP. The goal was to lure Balbar with promises of high-paid work as a member of a criminal gang in order to gain a confession that he murdered Heather Hamill in 2003.

In mid-November 2007, Balbar was flown to Montreal by undercover Mounties on the premise of meeting with a supposed crime

boss. Mounties took him to restaurants and bars while they met with other undercover officers posing as Montreal contacts.

The main undercover Mountie who testified this week — his name banned by court order — said Balbar was paid more than $1,000 for his time in Montreal and promised a monthly job of taking a delivery to gang members.

Another promise of work came weeks later when members of the supposed gang were asked by an undercover Mountie posing as a Nanaimo associate for a $200,000 loan in order to set up an escort business.

Balbar was made part of the negotiations, which resulted in an agreed $10,000 per month interest as payment for the loan.

Balbar’s undercover RCMP contact prom-

ised him a monthly job travelling to Nanaimo to pick up the payment and books from the associate. “You’re looking after Mr. Balbar’s interests,�

Blazina told the undercover RCMP operative. “He’s got the Montreal job once a month and the Nanaimo job once a month — it’s good steady income for him.�

Not only was Balbar promised money, but his undercover RCMP gang contact — who called Balbar his “brother� — promised prostitutes and more.

When Balbar was to pick up the $10,000 monthly payment from Nanaimo, the escort operator was instructed to set him up with the girl of his choice on each trip.

During another scenario, the undercover operator picked up a woman at a bar — in reality a female under-

cover Mountie — and later told Balbar he had sex with her that night.

Before they parted, the female Mountie told Balbar she would see about bringing along a friend for him next time.

A job in the future promised a $20,000 payment — cash Balbar was shown as it was counted in front of him.

As the promises of money and sex ramped up, police began planning the confession scenario to the supposed gang leader, Mr. Big. Prior to the meeting, Balbar was part of a scenario that saw a casino worker appear to backdate a video in order to give another member of the fake gang an alibi to a murder — all staged to make Balbar trust that, if he came clean with a confession to killing Hamill, the gang could

make it all disappear.

Blazina also noted that Balbar told his undercover friend he believed the U.S. government was cloning

human beings. And, during the meeting with the Nanaimo gang associate, the undercover Mountie made the associate

BUYER BEWARE! In residential real estate transactions, courts do not generally impose a duty on sellers to disclose the defects in the property being sold. This principle is often called “caveat emptor� or “buyer beware�.

This means that if you’ve bought a defective home, you may be without remedy.

BE AWARE AND KNOW YOUR RIGHTS Thankfully, there are a number of exceptions to the “buyer beware� principle. One exception is where the seller knows about a defect that is a “latent defect�, which means that it is not discoverable on a reasonable inspection. Another exception is when a seller actively conceals a defect in the property.

Further exceptions may arise where the defect makes the property dangerous or unfit for living. In any of these cases, the buyer may be entitled to cancel the contract, or sue for damages.

Thank You!

The mother of one of two people killed by a driver who crossed into the other lane on the Trans-Canada Highway near Spences Bridge testified she is “utterly and completely shattered� by the inexplicable accident two years ago.

Tanya McGovern, 38, was sentenced to a one-year driving ban after pleading guilty on Wednesday, Nov. 19, to a charge under the Motor Vehicle Act of driving without due care and attention.

Crown prosecutor Chris Balison said no one can explain why McGovern’s small SUV crossed into the northbound lane, colliding head-on with an oncoming Ford Focus on Aug. 12, 2012.

Dead at the scene were Eric Lowerison and Lindsay Brodie, both in their 30s.

McGovern, who was removed from her vehicle with the jaws of life and flown to hospital, spent more than a month in hospital.

Brodie’s mother, Kathie, made a victimimpact statement in Kamloops provincial court, saying the family’s lives are forever changed by the loss of a young couple who were themselves planning to have children. “Every get-together, birthday and celebration is marred because they’re not

there to share it with you,� she said. “On Aug. 12, 2012, my life changed forever, permanently and irrevocably.�

McGovern said at the accident scene and in a later statement to police that she had no recollection of the crash or events preceding it.

Police accident reconstructionists determined her vehicle crossed into the other lane on a straight section of highway marked with a double-solid yellow line.

Black-box data from the vehicles determined both were travelling considerably below the posted speed limit of 100 km/h — McGovern’s at 83 km/h and the victims’ at 59 km/h.

Defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen said McGovern was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol and was not tired behind the wheel.

She was driving alone as the “chase� vehicle behind a group of motorcyclists from Alberta on a tour of B.C. Jensen said the group retired to sleep about 10 p.m. the night before.

There were no witnesses to the crash, which occurred between 8 a.m and 9 a.m.

The sentence in similar cases typically calls for a fine of $1,000.

At issue in the lawyers’ arguments was whether McGovern deserves a driving ban.

A charge of dangerous driving causing

death was not an option after a Supreme Court of Canada decision originating from a crash near Chase determined such driving must be a “marked departure� from the standard of other drivers.

Therefore, momentarily drifting into the other lane after reaching into the back seat, for example, would not amount to a “marked departure.�

In this case, Jensen argued no one can say whether McGovern took action to avoid an animal or if the other car drifted in her lane.

The law states, however, McGovern must prove a reason why her car was in the other lane.

Before making her decision, provincial court Judge Stella Frame said she “really struggles with the lack of consequences attached to these offences.�

She noted McGovern’s perfect driving record and obvious remorse, evidenced from openly weeping in court.

In the end, Frame sided with the Crown’s request for a one-year ban against defence’s call to leave any driving prohibition up to licensing authorities in Alberta. “There’s no explanation why she’s driving on the other side of the road . . . She can’t offer one,� Frame said.

As a result of her injuries, McGovern is on disability leave from her job as a waterplant operator.

Kamloops RCMP responded to multiple motor vehicle accidents yesterday morning (Nov. 20) as a result of road conditions being slick due to a light skiff of

snow — the first snowfall of the season in Kamloops.

With winter-like weather here, police are asking motorists to slow down considerably.

Yesterday, officers dealt with a fourvehicle accident with injuries at Westsyde and Settlement roads, among other crashes.

An imam who oversees religious services for Muslims in Kamloops revealed he received threats in the wake of the Ottawa shooting last month that left a Canadian soldier dead.

Imam Mazhar Mahmood said he received a number of emails following the Oct. 22 shooting death of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo by Michael ZehafBibeau.

Mahmood spoke recently at Thompson Rivers University on Islam and the politics of reporting terrorism.

In an interview following the event, Mahmood described two of the half-dozen message as “full of hatred” and others as mean-spirited.

His message to the more than 100 people gathered at the university’s International Building was to distance his religion from the violent acts undertaken by people like Zehaf-Bibeau.

“This is not out of a love of Islam,” he said of the attack on the Parliament buildings.

“The young man [ZehafBibeau] was going through many problems. This wasn’t an act of terrorism. It was an act of crime.”

Prime Minister Stephen Harper spoke after Cirillo’s death, calling his killing an act of terror. Security at Parliament is being beefed up and Mounties are wearing guns while dressed in Red Serge in wake of the shooting— just two measures to increase Canada’s security.

Thompson-Cariboo in next year’s election, stood during a question-and-answer period to declare the word terrorism has “little or no meaning at all.”

Its use, he said, allows politicians to stoke fears and reduce liberties, noting it can also result in hate crimes directed at ethnic groups.

“It was a crime,” Sundhu said of the Ottawa shooting.

“Let’s call them what they are — crimes.”

In September, KTW reported on a former TRU volleyball player from Calgary, Collin Gordon, who joined the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group in Syria and travelled to the Middle East with his brother.

It is believed Collin Gordon became radicalized after leaving TRU and Kamloops and returning to Calgary.

A Muslim representative in Kamloops said at the time he was not familiar with Gordon,

who attended TRU in the 2008-2009 school year.

Mahmood said his intention, if reports surface of a “radicalized” Muslim, is to report them to RCMP, something he said is agreed upon

by Muslim leaders across Canada.

“I’d want to meet that person and find out if rumours are true,” Mahmood said. “If true, the next step would be to report to the RCMP.” Mahmood, 25, moved to the Kamloops Ayesha Mosque in Knutsford earlier this year.

Born and raised in Toronto, he oversees a community of about 60 Muslim families and as many as 400 students attending TRU. He joked many in the Muslim community here call him “just a little boy.”

The local imam emphasized teachings in the Qur’an that denounce killing, but he was also challenged to defend those that mention cutting

off hands and execution, for example.

“There are many verses portrayed negatively, but they are out of context,” Mahmood said.

“I tell people there are negative verses in the Qur’an, just as in other books. But, and this is the big but, lots of them are taken out of context.”

Mahmood said religious leaders have a responsibility to guide people, adding Canadians should denounce the killing of innocent people wherever it is found.

Asked about the Canadian government’s decision to send F-18 jets to fight ISIL in Iraq, Mahmood said he believes the danger is further radicalizing people and killing of innocents during military operations.

“When we send in fighter jets, nothing is resolved,” he said. “People who are radicalized or extreme become even more extreme.”

ELECTIONS BC IS BEHIND THE TIMES

I

f anything illustrated the need for the provincial government to update its Elections Act regulations governing advertising on general voting day, last weekend’s civic election was it.

It has long been illegal for candidates to advertise on general voting day — and that includes using traditional media (newspapers, radio and TV) and social media (Twitter and Facebook).

During the 2009 provincial election, the B.C. Liberal Party ran afoul of Elections BC for election-day tweets.

Six days ago, when voters went to the polls in Kamloops, mayoral candidate Pierre Filisetti unknowingly contravened the same law when he used Twitter to advance his cause.

In both cases, the guilty parties removed the tweets once advised they were illegal.

But, the incidents shine a spotlight on the need to modernize advertising rules in the Election Act. What is allowed and what is not allowed is pure madness.

Consider: A candidate may not use Twitter or Facebook to ask for votes on general voting day, but a candidate’s spouse is free to do just that.

Imagine that John Smith is running for office.

He cannot make campaign-related tweets on general voting day, but his wife may create a Twitter account, call it JohnSmithsWife and send out as many election-related tweets as she wishes, extolling the Twitterverse to vote for her husband.

In addition, while candidates are prohibited from using social media for their cause on general voting day, they are permitted to stand at least 101 metres from a polling station and solicit votes by handing out brochures, waving signs and yelling as loud as they wish.

Consider: Newspapers, radios and TV stations are not permitted to publish or air candidates’ ads on general voting day — and the same rules apply to Internet sites like Kamloops This Week.

However, third-party sponsors may run ads on Internet sites like Kamloops This Week as long as they have run before and are unaltered.

We need rules that reflect the era in which we live.

Post-election observations

S

ome post-election thoughts as we digest the 2014 civic election and prepare to follow a new city council, a new board of education and a slightly new Thompson-Nicola Regional District board: • It was, without a doubt, the most prominent of all electioncampaign vehicles — and it was creepy as hell.

Peter Kerek ran a highly visible campaign for city council, finishing 21st in a field of 28.

Kerek drove all around town in a big bus, its rear windows covered, with a massive campaign sign hanging from the side.

Every time I saw that bus, I thought the destination on the front should have read: “Spahn Ranch.”

Kerek is a passionate guy, a nice guy. But, seriously, that bus is damn creepy.

• Some campaign signs are still poking out of the fast-freezing ground. Of those, some were more noticeable than others.

Arjun Singh, who was reelected to city council after finishing second, had, to my knowledge, the only round sign in the campaign. It definitely caught my eye.

Every time I saw Bob Dieno’s sign, I thought of the Republican Party, as the colours and fonts used reminded me of election signs used by Republicans in the 2008 election.

Perhaps the most popular sign among those too young to vote was councillor candidate

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS Andrew Miller’s.

It featured the young hopeful pointing a finger at the camera, with “It’s Miller Time!” the slogan.

Twitter friends of my teenage daughter were quick to spread Miller’s slogan.

They loved it.

“What time is it?” they would tweet, followed by a photo of the now-iconic Miller sign and slogan.

Even the day after the election, in which Miller finished 24th, teenagers were still on the bandwagon, tweeting: “Well, I guess it’s NOT Miller time!”

Maybe cool signs are what is needed to beef up the youth vote.

• Overall voter turnout in Kamloops was only 33 per cent, while it was lower in the TNRD, which reported 25 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots.

That ranged from a high of 47 per cent in Area B (Thompson Headwaters, where Willow MacDonald was elected) to a low of 17 per cent in Area J (Copper Desert Country,

adjacent to Kamloops, which includes Cherry Creek, where Ronaye Elliott was elected).

The two other TNRD areas adjacent to Kamloops are Area L (south of Kamloops) and Area P (Rivers and Peaks, north and east of the city).

Area P saw Mel Rothenburger elected and had a 32 per cent turnout, while Area L has Ken Gillis elected and had a 17 per cent turnout.

• Those who advertised — be it in the newspaper or on the radio or via transit buses and mailouts — generally did better at the polls than those who did not, which tells me name recognition and paying to get one’s name and face and ideas to voters the old-fashioned way still works.

• The best debates in the election campaign were not at the various forums organized by myriad groups.

No, the best debates were on Twitter, where candidates went toe-to-toe (or tweet-to-tweet) over issues.

The proposed Ajax mine, not surprisingly, inspired the most passion, with campaign watchers jumping into the fray.

If you have Twitter, you can find some of these 140-character battles.

What made them so enthralling is that, for some reason, the impersonal universe that is social media seems to lessen social inhibitions one might have when speaking to someone face-to-face. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

BURNING RESTRICTIONS DON’T WORK FOR THOSE WHO WALK, To improve levels of fi ne “particulates in our air, we THOSE WHO need to reduce or eliminate JOG, FORGET the burning of waste wood.”

THE DOG

Editor: Mark this week down as a turning point.

It is the week when it has become apparent that one of the major causes of high levels of PM2.5 in Kamloops in the fall and early winter is due to slash burning in the region.

We have just experienced the highest oneday PM2.5 value of any November day in the last five years.

It will no longer be possible for the B.C. Ministry of Environment (MOE) to say the people of the city should solve this autumn problem by reducing their use of wood stoves and cars.

Blaming it on the good people of the city won’t cut it anymore.

There is little possibility that wood stove use in the city, by a small fraction of the population, can be the dominant cause of the prevalent thick haze that is in our valleys and in the surrounding region.

It is due to the MOE and BC Wildfire Management Branch allowing widespread burning of waste wood in the Kamloops Fire Zone.

Attempting to restrict burning to “good ventilation days” clearly does not work.

It is now evident

this has been going on for years and is apparent in the record of PM2.5 gathered over the last 17 years in our city.

We will present an analysis of this in a report in the coming weeks and show how it impacts November fine-particulate concentrations in our air.

Health advisories in Kamloops at this time of the year are the result of lack of controls of slash burning and industrial emissions.

To improve levels of fine particulates in our air, we need to

reduce or eliminate the burning of waste wood in the forests in the fall (prescribed fires), require substantial reductions in the emissions from mines and industries in and near the city and avoid adding major new emission sources in and near the city.

Without substantive action by the new city council on these issues what you have seen this past week is what you will get all too often in the future.

IDENTIFYING A PROBLEM WHILE VOTING Editor: I went down to vote on Saturday with my driver’s licence/care card and was refused a ballot because they said it was only one piece of ID. The government has promoted the DL/care card, yet at the polling station, they said the

government said it could not be used as two pieces of ID. The first question is: Is the DL/care card one or two pieces of ID? Also, this morning I attended the Municipal Pension Retirees’ Association meeting and told the group my problem.

A member said she only used the DL/care card and had no problem voting.

The second question is: One station was right and one was wrong, but which one?

S.A.D. Avoid the Winter Blues

Added time for threats against prison guards CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A B.C. Supreme Court justice added another six months of jail time for a 26-year old man who threatened guards at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre by saying he would trace addresses through GPS on their vehicles and have “bros” on the outside target them.

Travis Kelly also pleaded guilty to a second count of criminal harassment for writing the home phone number of another guard on his hand and displaying it to him through glass after becoming upset about phone access.

The events occurred in March and May of 2013.

“While some degree of challenging inmate behaviour is to be expected on the job, Mr. Kelly’s conduct went far beyond that into the realm of criminal harassment,” Justice Sheri Donegan wrote in her ruling.

“To have an inmate angry with a correctional officer to the point that he will research the home address of that officer and then threaten him and his family could only have been intended to instill fear in the officer

and intimidate him and his family — and perhaps other guards, as well.”

In a victim-impact statement, one of the guards reported his family was so concerned about the threat that he considered retiring after 32 years on the job.

Kelly is serving a five-and-a-half year sentence for his part in a bungled home invasion in Kamloops.

He has been sentenced in the past for other threats against correctional officials.

The Crown asked for an eight- to 10-month jail sentence on top of the federal time Kelly is serving, while defence argued for a two-month sentence served concurrently with his current sentence.

“A concurrent sentence in the circumstances of this case and his offender would not sufficiency deter an inmate from engaging in such threatening and harassing conduct of correctional officers in the future,” Donegan said.

Court heard Kelly has some First Nations heritage and grew up in a troubled and unstable childhood.

Defence lawyer Michelle Stanford said he has a responsible spouse waiting for him and work plans once he reaches parole.

In a victim-impact statement, one of the guards reported his family was so concerned about the threat that he considered retiring after 32 years on the job.

BRIDAL FAIR

FOR THE PERFECT WEDDING

2015 wedding décor trends Soft, cool hues blended with subtle, warm tones are the dominant colour schemes for the 2015 spring and summer wedding season.

Top colors for the season include aquamarine (a sky/sea blue), scuba blue (a vibrant shade), lucite green (a soft mint) and classic blue along with toasted almond (a warm tan), strawberry ice (think a pink glow), tangerine (a muted orange), custard (a subtle yellow), marsala (a muted wine) and glacier gray.

Gold and silver, step aside — there’s a new metallic taking over.

Copper details are popping up in creative ways, from glamorous chargers to centrepiece vases and copper foil on invitations.

This metal meshes well with any wedding style: Polished copper can look glamorous and elegant, but matte- or aged-copper accents lend a rustic or vintage feel.

Rose gold is a softer

way to incorporate sparkle and works well when mixing with a light colour palette.

That makes it the perfect colour to accent an outdoor spring or summer affair.

The just-pickedfrom-the-garden look has been popular with brides and this gorgeous trend doesn’t look like it’s going away soon.

A soft and creamy colour palette will stay through spring and summer 2015, enhanced by large open flowers which have that quintessential country garden feel.

This look is all about high flower content.

Avoid foliage and exposed stems.

Instead, choose romantic blooms like hydrangea, hyacinths and orchids in creamy pastel colours.

The ever-changing seasonal canvas of outdoor gardens provides an exceptional natural setting for any

wedding, offering infinite possibilities for staging stunning photographs.

TRU’s horticulture gardens provide a uniquely beautiful setting for private events such as wedding receptions that allow you to create a truly one-of-a kind event in a breathtaking yet intimate environment.

With the ceremony complete, all eyes turn to the wedding meal to please their palates and power them through a night of celebration and dancing.

A great party is as simple as finding the right food to match an event’s style.

Weddings are becoming more intimate with smaller numbers and an emphasis on really looking after each and every one of your guests.

We are seeing a shift in event serving style.

Opting for small bites, tray-passed appetizers and familystyle dining.

FINE EUROPEAN EXCELLENCE

HERE’S HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE EVENT AND GET ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT PLANNING ANSWERED Pre-Show

• Create a wedding email to give out to exhibitors and vendors.

This will keep all of your wedding information in one place • Pre-register for shows if you can.

Pre-registration comes with a swag bag or a fast-access pass into the bridal fair.

• Check out the bridal fair website to see what exhibitors are confirmed.

This will help you narrow down your must-see list.

It will help you get the information you need and focus on other exhibitors that may not be as important to your wedding needs.

• Get organized so you can act deci-

sively.

Know what you want out of your exhibitors so you can make decisions at the show.

Lots of exhibitors offer discounts if you register for their product at the show.

However, don’t be afraid to ask if you can make an appointment with these exhibitors and still get the discount.

Sometimes the exhibitor will extend the discount if you make an appointment to meet with them within a specific amount of time.

You want to make sure the exhibitor is right for you.

At the Show

• Printed labels can be a lifesaver for your hand and wrist at bridal fairs.

You will easily and

quickly be able to sign up for all of the giveaways and draws.

It is best if you include your name, mailing address, phone number, email and wedding date.

• Dress comfortably.

You will likely be on your feet for most of the day, so make sure that you are comfortable.

That way, you can focus on the information being provided rather than your sore feet.

• Bring ID with you in case you win a prize.

NET GROWTH After success with rookies last year, TRU’s women’s hoops squad has more young talent in 2014 ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

S

cott Reeves has had pretty good luck with rookie basketball players.

Last year, the head coach had Sydney Williams in the lineup. The guard led the TRU WolfPack women’s basketball team in defensive rebounds (5.1 per game) and was second on the team in three-point field goal percentage (.301) en route to being named the Canada West’s rookie of the year.

She finished the season eighth in the Canada West in both defensive rebounds and three-point field goals (1.9 per game).

Williams elected not to return to the WolfPack or university this year, the academic workload too much for her. But, Reeves seems to have managed to snag himself another standout newcomer — Michelle Bos. “I knew when I recruited her in high school she was one of the more skilled players out there and her basketball IQ was going to make her ready to play at this level immediately as a freshman,” Reeves said.

“She’s a hard worker. She can play inside, she can play outside, she can finish around the basket, she rebounds well. She’s just an all-around, what we call a global basketball player.

“She’s got so many skill sets and her IQ makes her such a valuable asset to what we do.”

Through her first four games with the club — two at home against the UNBC Timberwolves and two on the road against the MacEwan University Griffins — Bos leads the Pack and the Canada West conference in rebounds, averaging 13.8 per game.

She has started all of TRU’s games to this point, picking up three doubledoubles (reaching double digits in both points and rebounds), averaging 12.5 points per game and shooting the ball at a 47.6 per cent clip.

On Monday, Nov. 17, Bos was named the third star of the week by Canada West based on her previous week’s play.

“It has definitely been the team and the coaching, no doubt,” Bos said of her strong start. “The girls have helped me out so much in understanding the offence and setting me up — they’re looking for me on passes, we’re playing off each other really well. And, then, the coach is always expecting so much, every single practice and every single game. x the “So, it’s definitely just # team and the coaches allowing me to do well and, on the whole, the team’s doing well.”

Reeves said he wouldn’t be surprised if Bos is able to record a triple-double before the end of the 20142015 season, a feat accomplished only three other times in Canada West women’s basketball history.

Leggett money in rodeo return MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Julie Leggett is back on her saddle in a big way.

The 45-year-old barrel racer from Cherry Creek won one of six rounds and placed fourth overall in average score at the Canadian Finals Rodeo, which wrapped up in Edmonton on Nov. 9.

“This is one of the first years in a long time I’ve had a chance to really try to accomplish my own goals,” said Leggett, whose youngest child, Robert, will graduate from Sa-Hali secondary in the spring.

“My kids have driver’s licenses and jobs now.

“I had a really great week.”

Leggett earned $11,800 for win-

ning the Saturday-night round at the Canadian finals — which featured some of the best barrel racers in the world — and brought her season total to about $34,000.

She finished the year as the fourth-best barrel racer in the nation and punched her ticket to next year’s Calgary Stampede.

“It’s really, really hard to get there [the Stampede] these days,” said Leggett, who competed at the renowned Calgary rodeo in 2011.

“They only take the top 20 in the world.

“I wasn’t sure if I’d even get the chance to get back there, but we got lucky and, so, in 2015 we’ll be back.”

Leggett was riding her beloved horse, 12-year-old Ice, in Edmonton.

“I’ve owned his mother since I was a 13-year-old child,” Leggett said.

“She passed away this past winter. She was 34.

“Ice is her last colt. We raised him. He’s really a special horse.

He’s basically family as far I’m concerned.”

Leggett’s daughter, Vanessa, rode Ice to barrel-racing gold at the National High School Finals Rodeo in Rock Springs, Wyo., in 2012.

Winning that title, it could be argued, made her the best highschool age female on the planet in that event. Vanessa attended Texas Tech on a rodeo scholarship, but has since returned to Kamloops to study at Thompson Rivers University.

Shynkaruk dealt to Moose Jaw Jesse Shynkaruk was the odd man out.

Matthew Campese, 16, became the Kamloops Blazers’ 15th forward when he was acquired in a trade with the Victoria Royals on Tuesday, Nov. 18.

Two days later, Kamloops general manager Craig Bonner reduced that number to 14, sending Shynkaruk, an 18-yearold forward, to Moose Jaw in exchange for a fourth-round WHL Bantam Draft pick in either 2015 or 2017.

“We’d like to thank

Jesse for his time with the Blazers and wish him luck in Moose Jaw,” Bonner said in a press release.

Kamloops picked Shynkaruk in the seventh round of the 2011 bantam draft.

The Saskatoon product had four goals and seven points in 67 games in 2013-2014 and compiled one goal and eight points this season before the trade.

Leggett didn’t quit professional rodeo when she was raising her children, but instead took a step back, attending about 14 or 15 events each season, not enough to qualify for the Canadian finals.

This year was a different story.

She competed at about 40 rodeos in 2014, spend-

ing weeks on end in Alberta throughout the summer en route to accomplishing her goal of racing at the national championships.

Prior to having children, Leggett put herself through university by racing horses at the track and, while she morphed into a stay-at-home mom when the kids arrived, she still made money by racing occasionally and training the

elegant, equine beasts.

“I feel like I’m still in really good shape and I’m still capable of doing it well,” said Leggett, whose husband also spends a great deal of time on the road with his mechanicalengineering company.

“At this point of my life, I can afford to go and I have the freedom to go. The other years, I was busy looking after my family.”

McCHESNEY, PACK SWIM INTO UNCHARTED WATERS ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The TRU WolfPack swim team is taking a wait-and-see approach this weekend, as Sarah McChesney heads to Lethbridge for the 2014 Canada West swimming championship.

McChesney is the only WolfPack swimmer who qualified for the meet and she’s uncertain what to expect from her first university championship.

“I’m actually really nervous,” McChesney

told KTW prior to boarding her flight yesterday (Nov. 20) to the University of Lethbridge.

The meet will include eight university teams from across the West. WolfPack head coach Brad Dalke estimated between 150 and 200 swimmers will be in attendance.

“I’m trying just to go in there with an open mind. Hopefully, I make finals. That’s my goal, is to go and make top eight in a couple

TRU SWIM TEAM UNSURE WHAT TO EXPECT IN FIRST TRIP TO CANADA WEST CHAMPIONSHIP

things. I’m top 10 in a couple things so, hopefully, we can keep that going.”

McChesney and Dalke are uncertain what to expect from the championship and not just because it’s TRU’s first season in the ranks of varsity swimming.

“Our goal is to be hitting best times, that’s first and foremost,” Dalke said. “The whole

Canada’s Equestrian University-Preparatory High School for Girls

part about where she places and medals and all of that kind of stuff, that’s a little bit out of our control until we see where we fit in with the CIS swimming and conference championships and stuff.

“I think, realistically, to try and make some top-eight swims [is the goal]. For her, that would be a huge, huge step.”

The Canada West championship is also coming much earlier in the calendar year this season. The meet is normally held at the end of January, so

teams across the conference have had less time to prepare.

“Usually the meets before Christmas are just training meets,” McChesney said.

“I’ve never been tapered [decreasing training time in order to rest for a race] this early before, so I guess we’ll see how it goes.”

McChesney is a freestyle swimming specialist, but Dalke also has her swimming butterfly.

She will be competing in the 200m, 400m and 800m freestyles in Lethbridge.

This season has been a learning experience for McChesney, who was swimming and playing basketball in Prince Rupert at this time a year ago.

Now, focusing only on swimming, she feels the pressure of representing her university.

“Its different being a part of the WolfPack,” she said. “I guess I’m just not used to the attention I’m getting, even because I’m the only swimmer going.”

Going forward, Dalke is hoping McChesney can qualify for the CIS championship, which will be at the University of Victoria in February.

She’ll need to drop

a few seconds from her race times in order to qualify, Dalke said, but it’s still early in the season. He expects the MJB Law Classic, in Kamloops just before Christmas, to be one of her best opportunities to qualify for the national meet.

“Going forward, trying to qualify for CIS swimming championships and stuff like that, right? That’s the ultimate goal, so this is kind of a stepping stone along the way,” he said.

“This will be a good opportunity for her to stand up and race against the best kids in the university swimming field.”

Mike Benevides is out following B.C.’s playoff loss to Montreal.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

CRIMES OF THE WEEK THEFT OF SNOW TIRES

Benevides first of Lions casualties VANCOUVER — After watching the B.C. Lions stumble to an embarrassing finish in the 2014 CFL season, general manager Wally Buono said changes would be coming.

He made good on that statement yestday (Nov. 20), as head coach Mike Benevides was fired after three years with the club.

The move was not considered a shock, as the Lions had a nightmarish end to the season, with a humiliating 50-17 loss to Montreal in the East Division semifinal serving as the last straw.

“Was I in a state of shock [Sunday, Nov.

16]? Yes,” Buono said on Monday, Nov. 10 at a post-season availability with reporters. “Would I ever have imagined that would have occurred? No. “What did I learn about our football club?

I learned the fact that we’re not good enough and I learned the fact we have to do something about it.”

When asked if Benevides would be back in 2015, Buono responded with: “Are any of us going to be back?”

Even before the post-season disaster, the Lions were making headlines for all the wrong reasons.

They lost their last two regular-season games to division rivals Edmonton and Calgary by a combined score of 70-19.

The Lions dropped to 9-9 after those losses and finished fourth in the Western Division.

“That team should have been good enough to execute better [against Montreal],” said Buono.

“That team should have been good enough to be able to have a very competitive game.

“At the end of it . . . they didn’t.”

–The Canadian Press

Blue Jays introduce new catcher Russell Martin TORONTO — Canadian Russell Martin says having the chance to play close to home was “high up there” on his list of reasons for joining the Toronto Blue Jays.

The five-year, $82-million US contract on the table didn’t hurt, either.

“It was a great deal overall,” he told a news conference yesterday (Nov. 20), two days after the team announced they had signed him as a free agent.

“For me, the opportunity to play at home and the contract that was offered just made a lot of sense to me.”

With Dioner Navarro already in the fold, Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said landing another catcher wasn’t in the team’s off-season plans. But, landing the

veteran Martin was too enticing for them to pass up.

Martin brings some additional pop in a lineup that already boasts sluggers Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion. The Canadian also has the experience to groom upand-coming youngsters like Marcus Stroman, Drew Hutchison and possibly Aaron Sanchez in a starting rotation that is anchored by R.A. Dickey and Mark Buehrle.

The five-foot-10, 205-pounder has a career .259 average with 119 home runs and 540 RBIs in nine seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees and Pirates.

S ST. ANN’S ACADEMY BROKEN INTOT/ Sometime overnight on Friday, November 14, suspects broke into St. Ann’s Academy school on Columbia St. A classroom window on the lower floor was smashed out and the entire class, including the teachers desk, was searched through. There was little damage but there is no doubt

the suspects were looking for cash or anything of value to take. It appears the suspects did not take anything but what was left behind will be very useful for the Kamloops City RCMP forensic unit to help identify these suspects. Although this classroom is somewhat out of the way, there is

good possibility that someone going to the hospital that night may have seen some suspicious activity near the school.

If you have any information, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will never have to go to court or give a statement.

NUMEROUS BREAK AND ENTERS In the early morning of Friday, November 14, numerous commercial break and enters took place, in the Hillside Dr. and the Notre Dame Dr. area. Most of the businesses were entered the same way, by smashing out the front glass window on the door or by prying the door open with a crowbar. In each case, a small amount of cash was taken and in one store a set of LED light bars for a truck were taken as well. At one of the fast food restaurants on Hillside

Drive, a suspect was seen on video entering the store but the person’s face was covered by a black hoodie.

A vehicle’s headlights were caught on the surveillance video, departing the area shortly after the suspect left the store, no doubt transporting the suspect. This suspect was seen at another location breaking into the store as well; he was wearing the same clothing and is described as a Caucasian male, wearing a dark hoodie with white writing on the

front and blue jeans. These early morning break and enters took place on busy streets with vehicle traffic in the area. It is very likely someone may have seen at least one person lurking around the front of stores in the early morning.

If you have any information on these break and enters, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will receive a cash reward upon the arrest of the suspect.

Obituaries & In Memoriam In Loving Memory of

RUBY CANDIDO

ARTHUR (SLIM) FREDERICK WAGSTAFF

WILLIAM BELA ECKER August 18, 1935 - November 14, 2014

January 4, 1937 to November 13, 2014

With sad and heavy hearts, the Ecker family announces the passing of “Bill” Ecker.

Art was born in Maple Creek, Sask. When he was four years old, his family moved to a farm in Rolling Hills, Alberta.

After the farm was sold he spent a brief stint working in construction in Edmonton and then joined the Air Force.

He was honorably discharged on the 21st of February, 1960.

He then worked as a microwave technician in Kamloops, Elliston, Nfld, Edmonton and several locations throughout BC eventually returning to Kamloops and working for BC Tel until he moved his family to Chu Chua and became a farmer/rancher for 20 years. Following the sale of the farm in 1991 he worked as a real estate agent until he retired in 1994.

“Bill” immigrated to Canada from Hungary, in his early 20’s, in search of a new life. He found his calling working as a Heavy Duty Machine operator for CN Railway, for 42 years, until his retirement.

His great loves in life, was his family, working for the “Railroad”, and fixing and repairing his collection of vehicles. He always had a project on the go. He loved to watch old classic movies, and in his early years, enjoyed spending the day at the range, shooting his collection of guns. Bill was a history buff as well, and enjoyed reading about facts of the world. He was greatly loved, and will be very sadly missed.

Ruby was a woman whose moral compass and priorities were both rooted in tradition and ahead of her time.

Her family was most important to her. She has left our hearts full of beautiful memories that we will cherish forever.

Bill leaves behind, his two Grandsons, Joseph and Matthew Ecker, His only child, Penny Ecker (Margaret Ecker) and Niece Monika Kovacs (and family-Bokod, Hungary). Rest in Sweet Peace Papa.

Heartfelt Gratitude, to Physicians Dr. Sophie Weimer, Dr. Kattaneo, Dr. Mosewhich, and Dr. Howie.

Sincere Thanks, to the wonderful team of Nurses, and Care Aides at Overlander Extended Care Hospital. We are forever thankful, for the compassionate care he was provided in his final days.

A Service for Bill will be held at OLPH Church, November 22, 2014 at 3 pm. Celebrant is Father Martin. Reception to follow at the Cottonwood Center.

In Lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Canada.

A celebration of life is planned to take place at North lake in the spring/summer.

PROVINCIAL NEWS

Mounties begin arrests on Burnaby Mountain JAMES KELLER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

BURNABY — RCMP moved into an antipipeline encampment near Vancouver yesterday (Nov. 20), arresting at least a dozen people for violating a court injunction ordering protesters to clear the way for work crews to return to the area.

Police had yet to dismantle the camp used by opponents of Kinder Morgan’s proposed plan to expand its Trans Mountain pipeline.

Activists started camping out on Burnaby Mountain in September after the company said it needed to do survey work related to the project, which has not yet received federal approval.

An injunction granted by a B.C. Supreme Court judge took effect on Monday, Nov. 17, but police had not made any move to enforce the order before yesterday’s arrests.

One of the protesters, Maryam Adrangi, said about 12 people had been arrested at the main encampment, at least six of whom had been released with a promise to appear in court at a later date.

She wasn’t sure whether anyone had been arrested at a second encampment located farther into the woods.

But, the collection of tents and signs, along with a ceremonial First Nations fire, remained by midday. A section of road was cordoned off by police tape and the area was surrounded by dozens of protesters, reporters and RCMP officers.

Two women, including, Squamish First Nation member Clarissa Antone, were still permitted to enter and leave the camp.

Antone said she had been assured by the RCMP that she would not be removed for

the time being, adding she was prepared to be arrested.

“They [the RCMP] say they are not going to be doing anything right now,’’ she said. “This pipeline will not be going in. We are going to stay here and it is not going to be built.’’

RCMP Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis confirmed arrests had been made, but otherwise did not provide details about why police moved in yesterday or what their plans entailed.

Burnaby Mountain has emerged as a battleground as Kinder Morgan’s preferred route for the expanded pipeline, which would triple capacity to transport Alberta oil to a terminal in Burnaby through a tunnel in the mountain.

The company said it needs to drill two bore holes on the mountain, which is home to a conservation area and Simon Fraser University, as it prepares for the

federal-approval process.

That prompted protesters to assemble there and block the work, while the City of Burnaby has filed a lawsuit to prevent Kinder Morgan from cutting down trees and damaging parkland.

Adrangi said that whatever happens with the injunction, pipeline opponents won’t be stopped.

“People have been organizing around this [pipeline] for even longer than this camp has been here, so to say that it’s just going to end in one day, I don’t believe it.’’

Simon Fraser University Prof. Lynne Quarmby, one of five defendants named in the injunction application, said her “heart’s a little broken’’ by what’s happening.

“It is very disappointing to me that this had to happen today,’’ she said. “I can only assume

that the RCMP is under tremendous pressure

from Kinder Morgan.

It doesn’t really make

logical sense any other way.’’

June 25, 1922 – November 21, 2013

In God’s garden up above Stands a rose we dearly love

She stands with petals open wide Watered by the tears we’ve cried Her fragrance fills our lives each day

Locked in our hearts she will always stay Your Loving Family

We seldom ask for miracles, But today just one would do.

To have the back door open, And see you walking through.

A million times we’ve missed you, A million times we’ve cried; If love could have saved you, You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a memory, That no one else can fill.

Always missed, forever loved, Roberta and family I would like to thank family, friends and neighbours for their love, support and acts of kindness during the past year. Roberta

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 “Brian” in a radio show. Rob had a special talent for imitating voices; we will never forget him singing “Happy Birthday” in Bob Dylan’s voice to his laughing wife. Rob played live music in various bands in his ‘20’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 Master’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. Ann’s Academy and Thompson Rivers’ University (then UCC), leading the college and community choir. Rob was a quietly exceptional man, and his vast influence in and to the community of Kamloops reflects the gentle yet persistent way in which he lived his life. He didn’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 with which Rob lived his life, his respect for all living things, his quick wit, and hearing him say “Wake up and smell the coffee!” Rob’s gentle and generous spirit will be greatly missed by his family and by all who knew him. A Funeral Mass will be held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church on Friday, November 21 at 11:00 a.m. Rob’s family would like to thank everyone for their kindness and support during this difficult time; special thanks to Fiona Chan, Shawn Chisholm, Chris Yuen, Kelly Tries, Heather Braund, Jane Epp, Katie Welch and Tony Cuzzetto. Contributions to the family may be made by cheque to Judy Petersen and dropped at OLPH School or St. Ann’s Academy School or deposited to HSBC account #CAHKBC460043676150.

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:

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

November 25 and 26, 2014 Time: 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 pm Kamloops Coast Hotel and Conference Centre 1250 Rogers Way Information on the Ajax Mine Project and the revised AIR / EIS Guidelines will be available for viewing, and interested individuals will be able to speak with various provincial and federal environmental assessment representatives and the proponent’s technical experts. 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.

OTTAWA LETS AID TO POOR NATIONS LAPSE THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Almost 14 per cent of the money Canada’s newly amalgamated Foreign Affairs Department planned to spend alleviating poverty in poor countries in the past year has been returned, unspent, to the Finance Department.

Foreign Affairs managed to spend just shy of $792 million on aid to low-income countries in 2013-14, but had $917 million available, leaving more than $125 million in lapsed funding.

The figures are contained in the recently released performance report for Foreign Affairs, the first since the department absorbed the nowdefunct Canadian International Development Agency.

Those figures emerge in a week in which the Conservative government has trumpeted spending announcements of about $28 million to help end early child-forced marriage and to combat violence against children in developing countries.

Liberal foreign-affairs critic Marc Garneau said the lapsed aid funding combined with unspent money in other departments is part of a government plan to fatten their overall surplus in time for next year’s federal election.

Regardless of the motivation, Roland Paris, head of the University of Ottawa’s international affairs school, said the government is saving money on the backs of the world’s poorest people.

Ethics boss clears Glover of conflict OTTAWA — The federal ethics commissioner has ruled Heritage Minister Shelly Glover didn’t breach the conflict-of-interest law in connection with a fundraiser early this year.

But, Mary Dawson said that while Glover didn’t personally ask for funds or ask anyone to do so on her behalf, it was inappropriate that Heritage Department stakeholders were invited to make donations to attend the event.

Dawson said the

law should be changed to make it clear a minister or parliamentary secretary who knows — or ought to know — money was being solicited in such circumstances would be wrong to let it go ahead.

The Prime Minister’s Office has issued guidance that requires official duties be kept separate from political fundraising, and that ministers and parliamentary secretaries ensure adequate processes are in place to ensure compliance.

have been waiting to see some facial hair.

I anticipated the first inkling of a perv statche.

I sought the outline of a freshly grown duster.

But, three weeks into the famed Moustache month, I have yet to see a single lip hair out of the ordinary.

It has me wondering — what happened to Movemeber?

The movement was born in Australia more than a decade ago and remains “committed to changing the face of mens’ health.”

The annual campaign takes place each November in order to raise funds and awareness for causes like prostate-cancer research.

I once painted on my own mustache to join the effort.

What can I say, I’m serious about mens’ health.

But, this year, I noticed the campaign not for the moustaches on people who don’t regularly grow them, but for a different reason — a lack of participation.

The website dedicated to the hairy endeavor suggests it’s all still going strong, but I haven’t seen a single moustache for

the cause this year.

Men’s-health programs certainly haven’t topped out their financial need.

Last I checked, there’s still no cure for prostate cancer.

And, the chilly winter air has certainly called for the added facial warmth.

If I had a moustache of my own, I would be twirling the end of it in curiosity over what happened to the trendy campaign.

It led me to social media to find out if any of my friends were

still participating in the cause.

I now know of two.

One has been a registered Movember participant for four years.

He’s still going strong, collecting pledges this year while grooming a fine handlebar moustache.

The other is part of a group of amateur hockey officials from across the country trying to outgrow what they hauled in last year for their collective facial hair — $65,000.

These are no small commitments to the

KEEPING “ARE WE THERE YET” TO A MINIMUM

cause, and I commend these guys for not only raising awareness, but for raising actual money.

The reality of it all, however, is that Movember is a marketing campaign that may be on its way out.

As we saw with the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge that filled our social media feeds over the summer and raised millions of dollars while chilling the everyday Joe to the famed and powerful — these things tend to go viral and then fade away.

Maybe the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is to blame.

Could it have consumed up our publicstatement-for-charity mojo?

Maybe it’s the increasing popularity of the full-on beard

among the lumbersexual population.

Maybe time just weaned out those who participated because everyone else was — and not for the actual cause.

If the moustache is truly on its way out, I wonder what will come next?

When Daryl Cloran decided he wanted to bring Peter and the Starcatcher to Sagebrush Theatre for the Christmas season, he was faced with some Peter Pan-worthy

challenges — like finding the people to approach to see if he could get the rights.

Then, after a lot of Internet searching to locate them, convincing them Kamloops was the absolute most perfect place to give the award-

winning family play its Canadian premiere. “I said to them ‘Take out a map and see if you can find Kamloops’,� Cloran said. “‘Your big North American tour won’t be coming through here.’ “And they said yes

Cory Sincennes had his own vision as he planned the set for Peter and the Starcatcher.

After researching the etchings and pictures that illustrated the original J.M. Barrie book, Peter and Wendy, he knew he wanted a look that reflected the Victorian era of Peter Pan’s childhood, but also incorporated the nautical setting of the play, a prequel that takes its audience on a journey into the boy and man who would later become Peter and Captain Hook.

That’s why he eschewed one construct used when the play had its award-winning Broadway run, with a proscenium arch made of found materials — kitchen utensils and other odd pieces of everyday life all brought together to frame the stage.

Instead, in the Western Canada Theatre production — which is also the Canadian premiere of the play — Sincennes has opted for a big proscenium arch filled with nautical elements, one so large it reduces the stage at Sagebrush to give it the feeling of a miniature Victoria dollhouse.

Sincennes, who last worked with WCT to do the set for Les Miserables last year, said he was inspired by the etchings in the Barrie book and has tried to recreate their feeling on the stage while leaving a sense of the kind of bedroom “someone would have if they love Peter Pan, mixed with a boat.”

Sincennes also wanted to bring some of the theatrical magic to the forefront so, in addition to moving the

action to the very edge of the stage and bringing a kind of intimacy with the large arch, there is “lots and lots of material” to create a pivotal water scene, actors put on other costumes while still on stage and, at various points, band together to become a wall or doors.

“The beauty of this show is the audience sees the man behind the curtain,” he said.

“You have to be engaged with your imagination and the storytelling.”

Starcatcher is a completely different type of set from Les Miserables or even Liberation Day, for which Sincennes also designed the set and

which just opened at Theatre Calgary, another co-production with WCT. While Starcatcher’s anchor is nautical, the David Van Belle play on the liberation of the Netherlands by Canadian Forces is built around a tank and a 60-foot long treadmill.

Like all of the cast, Sincennes is delighted to be involved in the Canadian premiere of Starcatcher, a play he saw in New York.

He’s optimistic it will be a welcome seasonal experience for Kamloopsians — and, for those new to the theatre, a wonderful introduction to the magic it contains.

actors, all chosen by design sad story of The Boy, a young teen who’s been an orphan so long “he can’t remember his name,” another character declares.

The Boy doesn’t trust adults, has never seen the sun and has no idea what a bed is as he toils away on a pirate ship, to which he and two other orphans were sold.

The ship has as its captain Black Stache — a character who misuses the English language to comical proportions and who will, during the telling of the tale, reveal how he eventually ends up with a hook for a hand.

Stephen JackmanTorkoff and Amitai Marmorstein portray the two orphans also sold into servitude.

It’s the first time they’ve been involved with WCT — there are familiar faces, but the cast is peppered with actors new to Kamloops — and both are enjoying not only the experience of working with WCT, but being involved in the premiere of the play.

“It’s been so cool,” Marmorstein said.

“We’re a couple of weeks in now [of rehearsals] and I’ve been blown away a bit about how Daryl can paint pictures with people.

“He has all these ideas and it’s just, ‘Here you go’ and you look around and it all fits.”

Jackman-Torkoff agreed.

“A lot happens in a short amount of time and we could be stressed but we have a lot of faith in Daryl,” he said.

“He totally knows it will end up in a great place.”

Cloran said there are new actors by design. He believes the best way to promote

theatre is to work with others — WCT has done co-productions with theatres in Alberta and Ontario — and because it’s good to sometimes see someone new on the stage at Sagebrush or Pavilion theatres.

There’s a benefit for local actors, too; taking Boeing Boeing to Ontario has led to one of its actors, Kamloops’ Kirk Smith, finding acting jobs there.

Actors brought in to Kamloops can also return to their hometowns with a better appreciation for the quality of theatre in the River City.

With a cast of 12, the actual number of characters is much, much greater — upwards to about 100.

It makes for a busy play, with actors not only playing their main roles but also narrators, pirates, sailors, islanders, mermaids, doors, walls — yes, doors and walls and other set pieces.

Musicians Nick Apivor and Christina Cuiglietta are also on stage, providing the notes for the musical numbers, but also the many sound effects required as The Lost Boys and Black Stache make their journeys of self-discovery.

Cloran said he spent many hours plotting it all out before rehearsals began, sketching diagrams, seeing the scenes in his head.

That was essential, he said, because it’s a big show and everyone plays so many characters.

During rehearsals, however, some of those images and pictures in his mind have been adjusted as the actors have brought their talents, strengths and ideas forward — leading to a Christmas-

season play Cloran says is perfect for anyone from 10 to 100.

“Peter Pan had always been on my Christmas list,” he said. “And, now, I get to re-invent the story of Peter Pan.” Peter and the

FAITH

Forget mistakes, focus on innate divinity Working in relationship with God will guide to place of acceptance What if, every time “we stumbled and fell,

T

he writer Robert Louis Stevenson once wrote: “Take your minds out and dance on them.

“They’re all taped up”.

What’s he saying?

To me, he’s asking us to open up our closed minds and to play.

To get over our small single-minded self with its oh-soproper ways of thinking, with its always correct opinions, with its obsession with doing everything right and, instead, to truly live.

To live from a place where risk, failure, not knowing, not having complete control are just fine — thank you very much.

To move beyond the rules and regulations we’ve come to believe

we picked ourselves right back up again and looked in the mirror of our own sacredness?

”

BRIAN MITCHELL

You gotta have

FAITH

make up our life and to realize there is more than one way to think, one way to be, one way to pray, one way to love, one way to know God. By virtue of being a human being, we have been invited into a larger mind — a participant in a larger being.

According to Jewish and Christian scripture, we are made in the image and likeness

of God. We are so much bigger than we imagine ourselves to be.

It’s not that we don’t mess up, falter and sin — because we manifestly do.

But, that is such small potatoes.

Rather than grasping at our mistakes and supposed failings, what would happen if we focused instead on our innate divinity, our holiness/wholeness?

What if, every time we stumbled and fell, we picked ourselves right back up again and looked in the mir-

ror of our own sacredness?

What if we claimed our God-given freedom and became all that we could become?

Can you imagine living from a place of complete acceptance, of no judgement, of both yourself and of others?

That is what Jesus/ Yeshua asked of those who chose to follow his teachings.

And how, you might ask yourself, can you measure up to that undertaking?

Well, the short answer is that

you can’t.

You, working from that place of your small mind, your small self, cannot.

However, working in relationship and connection with your source, with your ultimate reality, with your God, you can.

But, you cannot experience that bond with your small mind, your small self.

It is only when you have begun the process of completely surrendering to this Other (this “Other” that is none other than your own and everyone’s deepest Self) that you can begin to access that place of freedom, acceptance and peace.

And, how can you learn to surrender, to let go of your little obsessions?

There are, of course, many ways we can move beyond our small

minds.

The self-help books, blogs and papers are full of answers.

But, as I’ve mentioned in previous columns, all of the traditional religions say clearly that intentional silence (meditation/ contemplation) is a prerequisite.

Once you get a taste of the joy and strength that comes with the trusting, releasing and letting be that comes with having a practice in place, you will never want to stop.

Moving beyond our reactive, auto-pilot behaviours is within our capability.

In fact, it’s why each of us has been put here.

As Jesus/Yeshua says: “Do not be afraid”.

Just jump in.

The water’s fine.

In fact, you might

even learn to walk on it.

(By the way, the Hebrew word for what Christians have translated as “sin” actually means “to miss the mark”— as in an archer aiming at a target.

It’s root is in not being fully present and taking the time to aim with intention.

It has to do with being conscious or unconscious. Being unconscious is death.

Being conscious brings life.)

There are so many Christmas traditions in Kamloops.

One of the most popular remains the annual Lights in the Night celebration of the season the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA), which happens this year on Thursday, Nov. 27 And, obviously, a key component is lights — and the KCBIA is holding a workshop on Nov. 22 and Nov. 27 to create lanterns children can carry during the Lights in the Night Walk of Lights.

The workshops are free, open to children of any age and take place in Lansdowne Village in unit 201 — the former site of Medi-Chair — from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Nov. 22 and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Nov. 27.

Anyone making a lantern — or several, if they’re feeling creative — can skip the walk if they want and just take their creations home, said KCBIA administra-

Community

BRIEFS tor Tanya Hamelock.

Lights in the Night also kicks off the downtown’s 28 Days of Giving, when it will be showcasing merchants and giving away $7,000 in prizes.

For more information, call the KCBIA at 250-374-3242.

Free tasting at local winery on Saturday

Free wine sampling will be available tomorrow (Nov. 22) and Dec. 6 at Harpers Trail Winery.

The event takes place from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. and also includes artisan vendors, along with cheese, chocolate and candy samplings.

Admission is free.

Guests are asked to bring a donation to the food bank.

WORLD HERITAGE SITE IN THE CARRIBEAN CHRIS MILLIKAN

SPECIAL TO KTW

D travelwriterstales.com

isembarking our cruise ship at Curacao feels a bit like stepping into fairyland.

Impossibly turquoise waters sparkle, Dutchstyled buildings in paint box colours bedazzle and locals warmly welcome us with, ‘Bon Bini.’

Air-conditioned taxis whisk us within minutes from the blistering terminal across elegantly arched Queen Juliana Bridge to Fort Amsterdam, right in the heart of old town Willemstad.

Once guarding against enemy ships and pirates, this 1635 citadel still overlooks the harbour’s entrance.

Front seats in the pink openair Trolley Train seem perfect for

our narrated city tour.

Guide Rosa begins, “Though typical throughout Western Europe, here in the Caribbean, Willemstad’s colonial buildings are unique.”

Chugging on along Sha Caprilleskade, she points out wooden boats from Venezuela, 19 kilometres away.

Docking together, they form the renowned Floating Market.

Vendors have sold fresh fish, fruit, vegetables, honey and cigars from their boats for decades, a trade handed down for generations.

Street-level stalls stretching along the block sport red, orange and yellow awnings.

Across the Queen Wilhelmina drawbridge, we visit a street of picturesque mansions built in Scharloo neighbourhood during the 1880s.

“Surprisingly, all buildings

were once just whitewashed until one governor complained about the blinding effects,” Rosa recounts.

Striking in pinks, yellows and blues and trimmed with white, these restored homes exemplify Jewish prosperity.

Many are surrounded by white wrought-iron fences.

A stop at the ornate green Wedding Cake House allows us a photo-op at Willemstad’s most-photographed building, now home to Central Historical Archives.

One classy red manor house has become the Venezuelan Embassy.

And, at the end of the street, a gold home with red-tiled roof is Curacao’s Radio Hoyer.

Some homes are not yet refurbished.

“Made with coral, rock and concrete containing sea sand,

these early houses deteriorate easily and sometimes collapse due to leaching salts,” Rosa explains.

“And, to keep their look fresh, they need painting every six months, plastering every two years. With upkeep so expensive, many owners abandoned them.”

The government now maintains these heritage buildings.

In a traffic circle on our way to the island’s largest cathedral, we sight Simon Bolivar’s imposing statue, a courageous man who lived in Curacao while working to liberate the region’s Spanish colonies.

Passing by Mikve Israel Emanuel, we learn it replaced an earlier synagogue in 1865 and was in continuous use until 1964.

In colonial times, Sephardic Jews found religious freedom in Curacao, developing into a thriving community by the

mid-17th century.

Artifacts and icons illustrating their early lives and customs are exhibited at the Jewish Cultural Museum.

Sculptures, including charming statuary of other early settlers, decorate sidewalks along Willemstad’s narrow, orderly shopping streets that face Santa Anna Bay. As our tour ends, some take taxis to the ship.

We find our own way along a scenic two-kilometre walk.

With world heritage status and Spanish, Dutch, British and Jewish heritage, Willemstad, proves an extraordinary southern Caribbean port, making Curacao a delightful destination for visitors.

Answers

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

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