AT A COST OF ABOUT $1,000 PER ATTENDEE, KAMLOOPS COUNCIL PONDERS FEWER PUBLIC BUDGET MEETINGS
ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Several Kamloops councillors want to see a reduction in the number of budget meetings the city hosts annually in light of a report that puts the cost of this year’s sessions at more than $1,000 per in-person attendee. Tammy Robertson, the city’s business and client services manager, told council at its meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 25, that the city spent about $181,000 on public engagement in 2014. Of that amount, about $57,700 went to a pair of public consultation sessions on the 2015 budget, which were held in October. Only 44 members of the public attended the sessions, with another 18 participating online, compared to 32 members of staff who were present at each event. Robertson said the city estimates it spent $51,200 on staffing for the event, with the assumption staffers spent about four hours of regular work time preparing for, or dealing with feedback related to, the meetings. Coun. Ken Christian called spend-

ing $57,700 on 44 people “an abysmal failure,” noting he doesn’t think the majority of the public is interested in discussing the city’s core service levels and other broad issues that do not affect them personally. Instead, Christian wants to see the city host the one public budget meeting it is mandated to hold each year, instead of its current schedule of two sessions in fall and one in mid-winter. Coun. Nelly Dever also suggested paring back the meeting schedule by hosting one meeting on core budget service levels per year, alternating between the North and South shores. However, Coun. Arjun Singh said he doesn’t think the city should judge the success of its engagement efforts based on one bad day of meetings, pointing out the city’s consultation came on the day of the attack on Parliament Hill, which made it difficult to get out the message about the event. “I think that if you’re in public service, the job is to keep in touch with the public again and again and again,” Singh said. “So, $180,000 spent, I think that’s a good investment.” See NEW COUNCIL, A7

While city crews deployed every truck, blade and shovel, the intensity of a wet, white storm yesterday smacked commuters right between the wheels. Streets and environmental services manager Glen Farrow said the city saw the storm coming, but struggled with the amount of snow that began falling steadily at about 3 a.m. yesterday (Nov. 26). “We had all our crews in place to attack it as soon as it hit . . . It was a short amount of time for that accumulation.” The city has a fleet of 14 trucks in addition to loaders and graders that can be utilized. Environment Canada predicted only about five centimetres, but as much as five times that much fell in Aberdeen. See QUICK THAW, A7

BUYING MACHINES WASN’T A SWEEP DEAL ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
It’s an expensive case of buyer’s remorse. The City of Kamloops will spend an extra $325,000 this year to buy an emergency street sweeper because its current pair of sweepers can’t handle the city’s intensive schedule and hilly terrain. Environmental services supervisor Glen Farrow told city council on Tuesday, Nov. 25, the city purchased the two machines to replace an aging model because they were the cheaper of two
options to emerge from a competitive-bid process. While staff attempted to research the machines before purchase, Farrow said the communities they talked to had larger fleets of sweepers and put down less sand because of their flatter topography. With Kamloops’ more demanding schedule, the machines weren’t able to keep up and became a financial drain in 2014 due to constant mechanical and performance issues. “After two passes, the street still wasn’t clean, there were still lines
left, so we had to make three, four, five passes time and time again,” Farrow said. “That’s where our costs added up.” Farrow said the faulty machines cost the city an additional $150,500 in 2014, which included $85,000 in additional repairs and $45,000 to contract out some sweeping when demand exceeded fleet capacity. Council agreed to purchase the sweeper, using funds from the city’s general reserve. Farrow said public works plans to sole-source the machine in order to have the equipment in place by spring cleanup in 2015.

A conceptual drawing of what Cascades Casino will look like when it opens in the former Rona store on Versatile Drive next year.
Casino could be open by summer GATEWAY SAYS MID2015 IS BEING TARGETED AS ZONING BYLAW APPROVED ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops’ new casino could be open for business in Aberdeen before the fall of 2015. At its Tuesday, Nov. 25 meeting, Kamloops council approved a zoning bylaw that will allow Gateway Casinos and Entertainment to move its Lake City Casino from downtown to the former Rona building at 1555 Versatile Dr. between Aberdeen and Pineview Valley. There, it will be rebranded Cascades Casino and be four times the size of the current operation on Victoria Street. While Gateway had originally targeted October 2015 as an opening date, the company said this week it hopes to be in operation by mid-2015. As a condition of approval, Gateway will
not be allowed to open for business at the site until it has completed most of a traffic upgrade worth $2.8 million in the area. Gateway’s improvements include a two-lane roundabout at the intersection of Versatile and Hugh Allan drives and a double left-turn lane at the intersection of Hugh Allan Drive and Pacific Way. According to a staff report, the traffic work is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2015. The City of Kamloops will also spend $1.1 million on works in the area, including an upgrade to Versatile Drive’s sanitary-sewer system and several new traffic signals. Most of the work will be funded through development cost charges, not tax dollars, and will be completed during the same time frame as Gateway’s portion of the project. One upgrade expected as part of the
casino’s roadworks package won’t be completed this year. Upgrades to the westbound off-ramp to the Trans-Canada Highway from Pacific Way are now slated for completion in 2024. Director of development and engineering services Marvin Kwiatkowski said the amount of traffic the casino is expected to add to the ramp won’t require an immediate upgrade. Council also issued a development permit for the casino project on Tuesday, but won’t issue a building permit until Gateway’s detailed designs for roadworks are 80 per cent complete. The new casino will feature full-service restaurants, live entertainment, an amphitheatre and a larger gambling floor, including a poker room. It will also include 400 parking spots and a shuttle service to and from the casino.

Prolific offender on trial for ‘very serious’ assault A 36-year-old man is on trial for allegedly beating a Westsyde resident who was reported as a drug dealer by a neighbour concerned about the safety of children at her day care. Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan outlined the case in B.C. Supreme Court against Corey Foster, who is charged with aggravated assault and break and enter following an incident on August 10, 2010. Alleged victim James Kwasnica — discovered by RCMP beside Westsyde Road bleeding heavily and missing his dentures — was badly beaten and doesn’t remember the incident. While the injured Kwasnica — who, like Foster, has a criminal record — may not testify due to his lack of memory, Flanagan said Foster’s former girlfriend is expected to tell the court she drove Foster and two other men to the site of a burned-out home on the outskirts of the city at 4300 Westsyde Rd.

A woman who walked into the lunchroom of a North Shore fastfood restaurant and walked out with three purses was sentenced two days later to 45 days in jail. Ashley Bull, 30, pleaded guilty on Tuesday, Nov. 25, to theft under $5,000, possession of stolen property under $5,000 and breaching a condition of her probation. Crown prosecutor Will Burrows said Bull was seen walking into the lunchroom of the Fortune Drive A&W Restaurant on Sunday, Nov. 23. Three purses were missing. A video recording showed what RCMP believed was Bull and an associate entering the lunchroom and leaving with what Burrows called “multiple purses.� She went to a washroom, where she transferred contents to other bags, the prosectutor said. Bull was next reported to RCMP by staff at Rock ‘N Firkin pub. When RCMP caught up with her, Bull was found at another nearby restaurant in possession of a sweater owned by a bartender at the pub, as well as contents of the purses. She also had identification
Corey Foster is standing trial in B.C. Supreme Court, facing charges of aggravated assault and break-andenter stemming from an alleged incident in 2010. The Crown alleges Foster attacked James Kwasnica, allegedly because he was selling drugs.
She is also expected to testify that a woman providing day care for her two children — who lived nearby the Westsyde property — told her she was concerned that someone who was was living in a camper or trailer unit on the lot as a caretaker was dealing drugs. Foster’s girlfriend reportedly told the day-care operator that “’Mr. Foster would put an end to the drug dealing,’� Flanagan told B.C. Supreme Court in his opening statement. RCMP Const. David BonnerCorriveau testified Tuesday, Nov. 25, police received a 9-1-1 call in the early-morning hours. Upon arrival, he found Kwasnica, who lived in a camper on the property, on the ground and bleeding from

the head, a piece of his dentures nearby. “His injuries were very serious based on the blood and the fact they [injuries] were to his head,� he testified. Flanagan also said police found a door to the garage, which was not burned in the fire, resting on the ground and a damaged truck inside. Other witnesses scheduled in the trial expected to continue through this week include an RCMP identification expert, a neighbour and a woman staying with Kwasnica in the camper unit on the night of the incident. Foster has been identified during previous court appearances as a prolific offender.
not belonging to her, in contravention of her probation. Defence lawyer Murray Armstrong said Bull graduated from a diploma program at Thompson Rivers University and worked at Royal Inland Hospital before succumbing to a heroin addiction. She has two children who live with her parents. “She now has a fairly serious heroin addiction,� the defence lawyer said. Bull has several convictions for theft and possession of stolen property, beginning in 2013. She has no prior criminal record. Judge Gale Sinclair sentenced Bull to 45 days prison, followed by a year of probation, during which time she must take counselling as directed. Following the jail term, Armstrong said Bull will try to get into a treatment centre — the second attempt at conquering her addiction with professional help. “I hope you can address your addiction issues,� Sinclair told her. “That [jail term] will allow you to get dried out.�

Accused quizzed on his story TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A prosecutor spent two days this week attacking the credibility of an accused murderer by pointing out inconsistencies between his story now and what he told a jury during a previous trial in 2009. Robert Balbar’s second-degree murder trial is nearing its end in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops, where a seven-man, fivewoman jury has been listening to testimony for nearly three weeks. The outcome of Balbar’s first trial was appealed and he was ordered to stand trial again. The 42-year-old is charged in the death of Heather Hamill, his girlfriend at the time, whose body was found floating in the North Thompson River on Aug. 1, 2003. Balbar has spent the last two days on the witness stand. His cross-examination, by Crown prosecutor Iain Currie, began on Tuesday, Nov. 25. Currie questioned Balbar on his testimony under direct questioning, when he told the jury he initially intended to give Hamill “a traditional native burial” rather than dump her body in the river. According to Balbar, he planned to bury Hamill in a treed area on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve near the Halston Bridge, a location he said he was told was home to traditional native burial grounds. He said he intended to dig her grave with a small garden shovel he had in his backpack.
Heather Hamill was killed in the summer of 2003. Her body was found in the South Thompson River. Her boyfriend at the time, Robert Balbar, is on trial, charged with second-degree murder.
Balbar said he got spooked by barking dogs before beginning to dig the grave and decided to dump Hamill’s body into the river. During Balbar’s first trial, in 2009, he said he did not have a shovel and lacked any tools with which to dig a grave. “Since then, you remembered you had a shovel?” Currie asked. “I’m pretty sure I did,” Balbar replied. “I don’t know why I wouldn’t have brought it.” “Here’s a reason you wouldn’t have brought it,” Currie responded. “You wouldn’t have brought it if you brought Ms. Hamill to the river to dump her in the river so she would float far away from your house.” Balbar maintained he intended to bury Hamill. “So, you were going to use your little garden shovel and bury her in the trees?” Currie asked.

“I didn’t have an exact plan, but yeah,” Balbar said. Balbar became uncomfortable on the stand, at one point criticizing Currie’s questioning tactics. “You’re putting me in a spot where I have to guess,” Balbar said. “Actually, sir, I’m putting you in a spot where you have to answer to the words you used in the last trial,” Currie replied. “And, I appreciate it’s an uncomfortable spot for you, but it’s the spot you’re in.” Throughout his cross-examination, Balbar routinely got off topic and consistently appeared to have a hard time staying focused on answering Currie’s questions. Though generally well-spoken on the
stand, he had trouble reading transcripts placed before him and misspelled words like “dore” and “kitaon” when asked to draw a map of his apartment. Next week, defence lawyer Jim Blazina is expected to call a psychologist, who will give evidence about Balbar’s mental capacity. Court has previously heard Balbar beat Hamill to death with a hammer inside the North Kamloops apartment the couple shared in late July 2003. Balbar claimed in his testimony that he was acting in selfdefence after Hamill threatened his nineyear-old son with a machete. He wasn’t arrested until 2007, following a three-month RCMP Mr. Big undercover operation, during which he was plied with money and promises of sex. Balbar confessed to killing Hamill twice during the investigation — once to an undercover officer posing as a hitman and again to a senior undercover Mountie pretending to be the leader of a powerful fictional criminal organization. He told the officers his son had witnessed the killing. Under questioning from Currie, though, Balbar said he was “mistaken” about that. “My paranoia got the best of me,” he said. “My mind was working overtime.” The trial is expected to wrap up next week.

Ajax meets with public to talk airshed CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Air-quality meteorologists already know the worst air in Kamloops is at the valley bottom but, once studies for the proposed Ajax mine are complete, they will also know the impact of dust from the project at points throughout the airshed. More than 30 consultants and officials from KGHM-Ajax met on Tuesday, Nov. 25, with people who attended an open-house meeting at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre in Aberdeen. The event, held under the harmonized federal-provincial environmental-assessment process, comes after public pressure for input on studies for KGHM’s
revised mine plan, unveiled this spring. Several hundred people filed through the event on the first of two days of public meetings. One of those consultants, Peter Reid, a senior air-quality scientist with consultant firm Stantec, said the revised mine plan that moves operations south will benefit air quality should the mine be approved and built. “But, the pit is in the same place,” he noted. “The road system is the biggest source of dust. Trucks are big and they stir a lot of dust.” After completion of the second open-house meeting yesterday, Reid said his group of six specialists will start producing datasets that will give a the most sophis-

It will include several thousand receptor points — virtual monitoring stations on the ground — where air quality and sources of pollution can be detailed as part of the larger model. Among them are 200 specifically chosen special locations, at the hospital, at day-care operations and at schools, for example. At those locations, modelling will show possible air-quality and pollutant sources, including rail traffic, heavy industry, home heating and landfills, as well as the proposed mine. Impact on air quality from the proposed mine will be greatest at the nearest locations. Yves Lacasse, manager of exter-

nal affairs for KGHM Ajax, said the company is still planning to make studies available before it files its application in April or May of next year. “Our plan is we’ll have open houses,” he said. “We want the community to have an opportunity to meet with our people and consultants and learn about the studies and results.” The public-comment period on the revised plans and study requirements closes on Dec. 18. Just a dozen people had filed written responses as of Tuesday — only one of them in favour of the project. “We have just had three days of air pollution levels so high that the media were warning people not to
go out and exercise due to inversion, slash burning, pulp mill and Highland Valley dust,” former city councillor Pat Kaatz wrote. “As a past city councillor, I am completely against an added pollutant producer that we will have in form of Ajax mine.” Many of those at Monday’s meeting appeared to favour the project, however. “In my mind, they’re very concerned with all the negative feedback they’re getting and they’re going to improve the mine compared to what it was before,” said Agnes Mihalcheon, whose family worked in mining in Northern B.C. Comments can be filed online with the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office at eao.gov. bc.ca.
Council tweaking Ajax questions to fit new plan The City of Kamloops won’t make a new submission to the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office during a 30-day public comment period on the Ajax copper and gold mine now underway, but is tweaking previously asked questions to fit the latest design scheme for the project. Public works director Jen Fretz told city council on Tuesday, Nov. 25, the city has made technical comments on the new information requirements the mine must follow in its application for environmental review, mainly related to the tailings setup for the project. Originally, the mine had proposed to use dry-stack tailings, but switched to wet tailings as part of a major redesign of the mine site unveiled earlier this year. Fretz said she’s basing her Ajax work on a letter council drafted in 2011, laying out the city’s social and environmental concerns and questions, but has updated questions to keep them relevant as technical aspects of the project change.
New date for Battle hearing
A much-debated apartment complex proposed for Battle Street has a new public-hearing date. The rezoning hearing for 801 and 807 Battle St. will go ahead on Dec. 9. The hearing was originally set for Nov. 25, but was put off after some residents were mailed notices for the wrong public hearing. It’s the second mailing error the project has faced. A public hearing held on Nov. 4 for the project was overturned by council after it learned not all residents within 100 metres of the projects up for discussion had received notification at least 10 days before, as is legally required by the province.

BRIEFS a mixed-used commercial and housing development to attract resourcebased companies, and a town-home project at 2648 Tranquille Rd. Though all three projects were already debated and voted on by many councillors who will remain at city hall after a new council is sworn in on Dec. 2, Mayor Peter Milobar said council has to approach the new hearing with open minds. “These are all start-from-scratch public hearings, new information can be raised,” he said. “So, you have to set the clock back.”
Info session for bridge project
Work on Overlanders Bridge is still months away, but the first information session for the massive reconstruction project is coming up next week. The city will host an information open house on Thursday, Dec. 4, to discuss the more than $9 million in work planned on the bridge and what disruptions merchants and the public can expect during the estimated five-month construction time. Public works director Jen Fretz told council at its Tuesday, Nov. 25 meeting that, while the city plans to ask for estimates for night work when it tenders the project, it’s unlikely more than two lanes of traffic will be open on the bridge at any time during the work. The city plans to resurface the bridge deck, as well as make repairs to its western sidewalk, which is sloughing concrete. The event runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Kamloops Alliance Church, 233 Fortune Dr.

While some roads were closed temporarily and several arterials became blocked by drivers struggling with the wet and greasy conditions, RCMP said there were no major incidents on city roads. “We had less crashes this morning than when a skiff fell earlier in the week,” Cpl. Cheryl Bush said. “Drivers are scared enough to slow down.” While there were no major collisions as drivers idled and fish-tailed on wet snow, conditions did cause a flurry of incidents, particularly on hills that serve as arterial roads. Some, including Hillside Drive between WalMart and Aberdeen Mall became a parking lot as some drivers spun to a halt on compact slush and ice. “Highland Drive in Juniper was a mess for a while,” Bush said. “A school bus was having trouble coming up the road, so we had to shut it down.” B.C. Transit spokeswoman Meribeth Burton said five routes — Dallas, Aberdeen, Pineview, Battle and Batchelor— had limited or no service,
depending on the road conditions, until about 11 a.m., when roadways were cleared. HandyDART service was limited to medical appointments. “It was back to normal just before 11 a.m. It affected a wide scope,” Burton said. “When the roads cleared, we got moving.” Environment Canada meteorologist Trevor Smith said slightly cooler-than-expected temperatures resulted in heavy snowfall, particularly in the higher southern area of Kamloops. “It was a challenging forecast,” he acknowledged. “We had [forecasted] five centimetres in the valley bottom. Higher up, in Aberdeen at 900 or 1,000 metres, we weren’t expecting that much.” He called conditions a “southwest B.C. mountain forecast challenge. “A degree warmer and it might have been rain.” Farrow said city crews will work over the next 24 hours to move the snow and slush to the curb in preparation for what is expected to be temperatures well above freezing today, followed by a quick

and deep freeze late in the evening or early tomorrow that will bring more snow. “The big concern is, with all the snow, we’ll have a warm-up and a big blast of Arctic air is on the way,” said Environment Canada’s Smith. Temperatures on Saturday are expected to reach -12 C and perhaps colder — right in time for the annual Santa Claus Parade downtown. Snow may have been unwelcome on city streets, but local mountains cheered the dump. Sun Peaks Resort, which opened last weekend with a paucity of snowfall, received 17 centimetres of the white stuff over 24 hours. Preparations were also being made at Stake Lake to begin packing trails for nordic skiing. While Wednesday blew in the start of one season, it threw a cold and wet blanket on another. “We did have golfers on the course yesterday [Tuesday] afternoon,” said Brian Wornstaff, a staff member at Mount Paul Golf Course, which has the reputation as the first to open and last to close in the city. “Now she’s all white — I hate it.”
Mayor Peter Milobar said the report shows there is a cost to the city when council asks for more public-input sessions, noting councillors need to be mindful of staff time involved. But, Milobar added, he doesn’t take issue with the money currently being spent on public input. “It’s nice to sit around this table and talk about accountability, transparency and all those nice buzzwords, but we then can’t be afraid when we get a number thrown in front of us for what all this stuff costs,” he said. The $181,000 figure includes the costs of open houses, setting up online surveys and other engagement programs undertaken since the beginning of 2014. This is the first time the city has attempted to quantify the costs of its public-engagement program and Robertson believes the estimates are likely low. Council made no decision about future budget meetings or other public-engagement efforts. Those debates will be left to the city’s new council, which takes over on Tuesday, Dec. 2.

THE BENEFITS OF SHOPPING LOCAL
M
any Canadians heading down to the U.S. to take advantage of Black Friday sales — or shopping online on U.S. websites — probably think it’s no big deal to shop outside the country. After all, many of the stores at local malls are U.S.based chain stores anyway — really, what difference does it make to head south? Well, the truth is, taking your hard-earned dollars out of the country does hurt Canada and here’s why — jobs and taxes. Dollars that stay in Canada keep Canadians employed. It’s that simple. If you spend in Washington, you are keeping Americans employed. But, your fellow citizens in B.C. need jobs, too, and Canadian retailers are employing your kids, your neighbours’ kids and moms, dads and grandparents of kids who live here. These jobs enable your neighbours to pay taxes, which keeps our social-welfare safety net, including public health care, intact. If that doesn’t convince you to shop local, here are a few more reasons: • Shopping diversity: Small-business owners offer unique products you can’t get anywhere else and our marketplace would be poorer without them. By shopping at small local stores, you will enrich the marketplace and ensure there are more interesting places to buy goods in your neighbourhood. • Price check: There are some products available in the U.S. that are cheaper but, many others, such as electronics, for example, are essentially the same price in Kamloops as they are in, say, Bellingham, especially once you figure in the dollar difference. By shopping local, you will be putting your dollars to work in a way that provides economic spin-offs for your community — and you won’t have to sit in a border lineup or wait for delivery of that treasured item. Now that sounds like a good deal.

We need home-grown centre
D
enis Walsh posted a link on his Facebook page recently about a new performingarts centre being built in St. Catharines, Ont. He didn’t put any comment on it, only a few people indicated they liked it and, apparently, I was the only one of his online friends who shared the information, doing so because the more information we all have about this concept, the better-informed our decision-making should be. Curious, I checked out this new facility, which is scheduled to open next year. It looks like a gorgeous structure, with four performance venues in one 95,000-squarefoot building that predicts it will annually host 600 events and 125,000 visitors and see 20 fulltime and 70 part-time staff hired. Those individual venues include a 775-seat concert hall — already bearing the name of the family that kicked in the sevenfigure donation — a 210-seat theatre, a 300-seat recital hall and a 187-seat film venue. It all sounds just lovely — and it truly is a remarkable building with the kind of attributes that would be awesome to see in Kamloops. Time for a reality check, though. First, the centre is being built in partnership with Brock University, which will renovate a building adjacent to the new centre. That building’s ownership was transferred to Brock by the city and paid for through a $15-mil-

Street
LEVEL lion donation to the university, with the donor also seeing it bear her name. University students will be able to then use the new centre and, in fact, the expectation is about 500 of them will be in it every school day. Next, both the provincial and federal governments committed to helping build the centre, with a combined total of $36 million in funding for the project. Don’t count on that kind of largesse for a Kamloops centre. The province is only interested in putting money into the energy sector and the federal government is not in the giving mood it was back in 2009 when it agreed to help with the construction. And, while we have a thriving arts community in the area, it’s pretty doubtful there is a benefactor out there willing to part with $15 million to get their name on the door. Finally, the centre is located in a community with a population of more than 130,000 — and with another 50,000 just 21 kilome-
tres up the road in Niagara Falls, another 50,000 Americans just across the river — and famed falls — in New York, 15,400 another 27 kilometres away and more than 700,000 potential ticket-buyers 60 kilometres away in Hamilton. In other words, there is a pretty large area from which to draw. Basically, if you go 60 kilometres in any distance from Kamloops, you’d be in the area of Merritt (8,000 people), Chase (2,500 people) and Cache Creek (1,037 people). You get the idea. There is not a largely populated area to similarly attract into the city. And, just for some more perspective, St. Catharines started talking about a performing-arts centre in November 2007, didn’t break ground until April 2012, sent the entire thing back to the drawing board in August 2012 to try to get construction costs — based on tenders received from pre-qualified bidders — back in line with the budget and didn’t hire a construction company until last December. It opted for Bird Construction, the company now creating the new structure in front of Royal Inland Hospital. Yes, it looks like a beautiful centre. I’m sure it will serve the region well. But, it’s not the answer for Kamloops. Maybe that’s the lesson from Walsh’s posting — we need a homegrown centre rather than trying to copy others out there. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A N-ICE ACT OF KINDNESS AN UNRECOGNIZABLE Editor: I would like to tell everyone about a random act of kindness I witnessed on Monday, Nov. 24. I work in the BC Centre for Open Learning at Thompson Rivers University and my office window looks out onto Dalhousie Drive. Between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., it was snowing hard and Dalhousie became very icy. Vehicles were having a difficult time coming down the hill. They were sliding and it was surprising to us watching that there was not a crash. At the same time, across the street, work was being done to one of our buildings by Eagle West Cranes and Scrappers against Poverty. The men working decided to help motorists down the hill and cautioned vehicles to slow down and take it easy. These workers were not in any danger from the sliding, skidding cars, but they obviously felt it was necessary to help people get to work and school safely. The No. 9 transit bus was attempting to come down Dalhousie and, at the halfway mark, it was obvious it was not going Kamloops This Week reader Karen Nichols snapped to happen safely, so the this photo of two employees of Eagle West Cranes driver stopped.

Not one passenger assisted this man, even though all of the people who left the bus were more than able-bodied. Two of the men from Eagle West Cranes walked up to the bus and held onto the man with the crutches and walked him all the way down the hill. In our society, it is so easy to ignore those who require help. People are so busy with their own lives that they overlook the obvious. I would like to commend these men for lending a hand and let them know their act of kindness has had a resounding effect on those of us who witnessed it. Karen Nichols Kamloops

What I do know is we can no longer meet in our parks or our places of government without heavily armed police. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said when he was through with Canada, we wouldn’t recognize it. He was right. Bob Mitchell Kamloops
WATER-METER WOES Editor: Thank you, City of Kamloops, for reinforcing our two-tiered society. The extra charges for water use are extraordinarily high. We just received our utilities bill for the summer watering period and the cost is out of our budget. We are not water pigs. We have a small yard that was watered for less than 15 minutes every second day. I agree we need to help conserve water but, doing it in this manner is, in a sense, saying, “Those who have money can use as much water as they want and those who don’t have the money — too bad for you!” Mureena Roberts Kamloops Editor: We received our first summer utility bill and were shocked to learn we used 50 per cent over our allotment. When we received our first mock utility bill, we thought (wrongly, as it turns out) we were going to do OK with water meters. Kim Young Kamloops

oe Ware has had enough of the stigma. The 34-year-old Kamloops woman has lived with Crohn’s disease for 15 years. “Let’s talk about it,” she said. “Life will go on. It’s just shit. We all do it.” November is Crohn’s and Colitis Month in Canada. Ware said she’s hoping to raise awareness of the diseases. Ware found out something was wrong the day after she turned 19. She said she celebrated her birthday at the Blue Max in Kamloops. “I tied one on and woke up the next morning with a really, really bad gut ache,” she said. “It didn’t go away.” For three weeks, Ware visited walk-in clinic after walk-in clinic and couldn’t get a straight answer about what was going on inside her insides. “I kept going back and back and back and then, finally, found a doctor who knew something was wrong,” she said. “It took me about three-and-a-half to four weeks to get a diagnosis.” Zoe Ware speaks of living with Crohn’s disease and says she knew something was wrong the day after she turned 19. DAVE EAGLES/KTW
The Brock secondary grad was taking earlychildhood education courses at University College of the Cariboo at the time, but the Crohn’s diagnosis put everything on hold. “I decided I was going to grow up,” Ware said. “I’m very happy I made that choice, but it had a big impact on my social life.” Ware said she lost friends and noted some family members weren’t sure how to deal with the diagnosis. For six months, she was on a steroid regimen. It caused her to gain 30 pounds and led to the growth of excess body hair. It appeared to be working. But, when she stopped taking the drugs, the symptoms returned. Surgery was the next option, but it only complicated things further. At the age of 20, Ware began taking immunosuppressant medications to treat her Crohn’s — drugs that bring with them an increased risk of cancer. “It’s a catch-22 with this disease,” she said. “You take the side-effects over the gut pain.” Then another surgery. And another recovery. And another surgery. And another recovery. And another surgery. And another recovery. By now, Ware was 22. She’d tried to return to school, but her illness made it too hard. “I felt depressed,” she said. “But, I had good family support with my mom and my brother and my dad.” In late 2002, Ware was receiving an enema after nine weeks of treatment for — of all things — constipation.

Thousands hold vigil in Toronto for slain Ferguson black teenager ABDUL LATHEET
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Thousands braved freezing temperatures in Toronto on Tuesday, Nov. 25, to hold a vigil for Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager slain by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo., in August. They gathered across the street from the U.S. Consulate, a day after a grand jury in Missouri decided not to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the fatal shooting of Brown, who was 18. Protest leader Lena Peters said the immediate issue was that the grand jury made the decision not to take the “murder’’ of a black man to trial. “Those folks who are here tonight don’t believe that’s
OK,’’ she said. “We believe that it is part of a larger system that doesn’t value black life.’’ Just a few police officers were present, reflecting the peaceful nature of the protest, which drew some 3,000 people. Holding candles, they repeatedly chanted, “No justice, no peace,’’ and “Being black is not a crime.’’ “Basically, I don’t want to live in a world where some lives matter and some lives don’t,� said Christina Miniaci, one of the protesters. The grand jury’s decision sparked a riot in Missouri overnight and thousands of National Guardsmen were called in an effort to prevent a second night of violence. Lawyers for Brown’s family have condemned the judicial
process that led to the officer not being indicted as unfair and broken, and President Barack Obama has called for restraint in the wake of the ruling. The Toronto protest leaders also called for an acknowledgment by all levels of the Canadian government of what they called the excessive use of police force in Ferguson against blacks as a human-rights issue. Peters and others also used the occasion to vent their anger against police in the Greater Toronto Area for alleged racial profiling and brutality against black people. They demanded justice for Jermaine Carby, who was fatally shot by Peel Regional Police during a traffic stop in Brampton, Ont., in September. Carby’s cousin,
La Tanya Grant, was among the speakers at the event. “As much as we are here for the Ferguson situation, let us try to support my campaign for Jermaine Carby to try, to at least get justice here in Toronto.’’ Ontario’s police watchdog is investigating that case. Meanwhile, a suggestion that white and non-black protesters limit their visibility and “stand behind black folks’’ at the vigils in Toronto and Ottawa sparked a heated debate on social media. Bilan Arte, one of the Ottawa event organizers, said on the vigil’s Facebook page that “white/non black allies’’ should “refrain from taking up space� and “never be the centre of anything.’’ The same message
appeared verbatim on the Facebook page for the Toronto rally, asking whites and nonblacks to not speak to the media, saying “black voices are crucial to this.’’ Arte’s post prompted more than 100 comments, with one man asking “is this an antiracist rally or a prosegregation one?’’ Arte, deputy chairwoman with the Canadian Federation of Students, said on her own Facebook page that she received upwards of 50 messages from “righteous upset white people’’ taking issue with the post. But, there were many non-blacks among the protesters in the Toronto event, which was organized through social media by an online forum called Black Lives Matter.

JIAN GHOMESHI CHARGED
FORMER CBC HOST FACES FOUR COUNTS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT DIANA MEHTA
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Former radio host Jian Ghomeshi turned himself in to police and was charged with multiple counts of sexual assault yesterd (Nov. 25),exactly one month after he was fired from the CBC over allegations of physical abuse. The 47-year-old arrived in the back of a police car at a Toronto courthouse yesterday afternoon. He faces four charges of sexual assault and one charge of what police called “overcome resistance — choking.’’ His lawyer was expected to make a statement after his court appearance. Police refused to offer any further details on the case. “Other than the information we released earlier today, I have nothing to add,’’ Toronto police chief Bill Blair said. “The matter is now before the courts, and that’s where information will come forward.’’ The former Q radio host was fired by the CBC on Oct. 26. The public broadcaster said it decided to terminate his employment after seeing “graphic evidence’’ that he had physically injured a woman. Ghomeshi admitted in a lengthy Facebook post, published on the day he was fired, that he engaged in “rough sex’’ but insisted his encounters with women were consensual. He also said in a follow-up post a few days later that he would meet the flurry of allegations against him “directly.’’ Since his dismissal, nine women came forward with allegations, some dating back a decade, that Ghomeshi sexually or physically assaulted them. None of the allegations have been proven in court.
Toronto Police said they began an investigation on Oct. 31 into several allegations of sexual assault relating to Ghomeshi. One of the women who contacted police was Lucy DeCoutere, an actress on the TV show Trailer Park Boys, who was the first woman to speak on the record about her alleged experiences with Ghomeshi. DeCoutere accused Ghomeshi of choking her “to the point she could not breathe’’ and slapping her “hard three times on the side of her head.’’ Meanwhile, a CBC spokesman declined to comment on the charges against Ghomeshi. “We don’t comment on criminal investigations or matters before the court,’’ Chuck Thompson said. The charges against Ghomeshi were announced a day after it came to light he had reached an agreement with the CBC to withdraw his $55-million lawsuit against the public broadcaster. Ghomeshi had alleged breach of confidence, bad faith and defamation in his statement of claim. Ghomeshi is now expected to pay $18,000 in legal costs to the CBC as part of the agreement, the broadcaster has said. He had also filed a union grievance against the CBC alleging dismissal without cause — a matter that still remains active. The allegations against Ghomeshi led the CBC to launch an independent investigation into the scandal, a process being spearheaded by a Toronto employment lawyer with expertise in workplace harassment. The broadcaster has also begun its search for a permanent replacement for Ghomeshi on Q and is looking at possibly changing the name of the program in the future.

Canada Post on track to record profit in 2014 LINDA NGUYEN
THE CANADIAN PRESS
Despite more people still choosing email over snail mail, the Canada Post Group of Companies says it is on track to earn a profit this year despite a forecast for a multimilliondollar loss. The Crown corporation said it earned $84 million before tax for the first three quarters of the year, driven by its parcels business and higher stamp prices, along with lower employee-benefit expenses. In its 2014 corporate plan, it projected it would lose $274 million before taxes for the year. “Despite the uncertainty about volume erosion, improvements to the bottom line are expected to continue in the fourth quarter and a net profit for the year ended Dec. 31,’’ Canada Post said. The company said it earned a net profit of $22 million for the third quarter as it handled more packages, but was impacted by fewer mail and flyerdistribution deliveries. The profit reversed a net loss of $73 million in the same period a year earlier for the group, which also includes the Purolator courier service and other businesses. Revenue from operations were up seven per cent to $1.874 billion, compared with $1.752 billion
a year ago. Canada Post, the group’s largest division, had a net profit of $6 million for the 13-week period ended Sept. 27. A year ago, it reported a net loss of $88 million for the same period. The traditional post-office business saw its revenue from operations climb 7.5 per cent to $1.443 billion, up from $1.343 billion in the comparable period of 2013, helped by growth in parcel deliveries and higher stamp prices. Revenue for packages grew 8.2 per cent to $337 million in the latest quarter, as volumes jumped by nearly the same percentage or nearly three-million pieces. Despite the growth, Canada Post still felt the impact of lower mail volumes, which continued to fall. Transaction mail was down 6.1 per cent, or by 58 million pieces in the quarter, as more people continued to turn to alternatives like email. Canada Post said it doesn’t plan on hiking stamp prices in 2015, after increasing them this year as part of a strategy to cut costs and improve results. Canada Post’s logistics business, which includes SCI Group, earned $3 million on $59 million in revenue from operations, up from $2 million on $43 million in revenue a year ago.

LANTERNS AND LIGHTS
Jody Tippett and Una Connor light up among their paper house lanterns. They were part of a lantern-making workshop recently held at Lansdowne Village. The lanterns will be on display in a parade tonight (Nov. 27), leaving Lansdowne Village at 6 p.m. and going to St. Andrews on the Square for the official Christmas tree lighting.
Quebec workers protest over pensions MONTREAL — Noisy and disruptive demonstrations rolled across Quebec yesterday (Nov. 26) as municipal workers held a 24-hour protest against proposed pension reforms. The demonstrations disrupted construction sites and key installations such as the Port of Montreal. One protest at Montreal City Hall took place as Mayor Denis Coderre presented the 2015 budget. The proposed legislation, known as Bill 3, calls for a 50-50 split between municipalities and unionized workers
on pension contributions and deficits. A spokesman for a coalition of unions said the major disruptions involve 25 groups and are taking place in several regions. Firefighters blocked the main access to the Port of Montreal this morning and there were also demonstrations in subway stations. In Quebec City, municipal employees tried to prevent city buses from leaving a garage. There was also a protest at the site of a new $400-million amphitheater that is
under construction. Unions say they are being blamed for pension deficits that are not of their making and feel some municipalities are looking to save on labour costs by renegotiating retirement deals. The pension battle is a test for Premier Philippe Couillard’s Liberals, who warned when they came to power last April that tough economic decisions would be coming.

As a kid growing up in Castlegar, Rob Shmoorkoff played in all these rinks. Shepherding the Kamloops Storm around the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, from Grand Forks and Kimberley, to Osoyoos and Sicamous, brings back hockey memories for the Kamloops bus driver. He no longer straps on the pads or takes to the ice, but he’s as much a part of the Storm as anyone. Shmoorkoff puts in long hours, drives through the mornings and nights, plays the team’s music and makes stops when the boys can’t hold their bladders any longer. He wouldn’t have it any other way. “I love it. I love hockey,� Shmoorkoff told KTW as he stood in Grand Forks’ Jack

Goddard Memorial Arena, preparing for the Storm to face off against the Border Bruins. Shmoorkoff has been with the junior B team since it came to Kamloops for the 20062007 season. In that time, he has watched plenty of players, as well as four head coaches, file on and off his 48-seat ride in towns across the province. “Those are relationships that you don’t lose,� he said. “You get to know them. You see them
A17
around the schools.� And, know them he does. He could tell the demeanour of goaltender Jason Sandhu changed after being pulled in Fruitvale the previous night. He knows how hard veteran Mitch Friesen has had to work and how much disappointment he has faced in order to make his hockey dreams come true. He appreciates how well the 2014-2015 Storm treat their rookies, in comparison to teams gone by. Shmoorkhoff enjoys it all, especially considering he nearly missed out on all of it. A little more than three years ago, while visiting his native Castlegar, Shmoorkoff was bitten by a hobo spider while out in the bush. At first, the bite looked like nothing more than a mosquito bite. But, before long, the
injection site began to turn black, the lesion became necrotic. Shmoorkoff spent 11 days in the ICU after a blood test revealed the source of the bite. He experienced vision and nerve problems. He was taking 23 pills a day. More than three months passed before the lesion began to close. “It changed my life,� he said. “I had a list as long as my arm of shit that was happening.� Bus driving came along at the right time for Shmoorkoff, who found he was unable to return to his previous job following the scare. Even now, nearly four years later, the lesion still bothers him. He’s not yet 100 per cent. But, as he has travelled the road to recovery, he’s thankful to have been able to be on the road with the Storm. As the boys boarded
the bus following their defeat of the Beaver Valley Nitehawks, Shmoorkoff seemed as relieved as anyone, congratulating every player as they passed by his seat at the front. He might not have been on the ice that night, but he was still a part of the team.
Bus bits
• It’s a 1988 Prevost, previously used as a Greyhound bus, among other things. When Storm general manager Barry Dewar purchased the ride, the previous owners required its exterior be changed. Some of the Storm’s players guessed it was built any time from 1954 to 1962. • Shmoorkoff fuelled up with diesel before the team left Grand Forks to head back to Kamloops, at a cost of $550 — and that was only half a tank. The bus’ fuel tank holds about 1,000 litres.
t long last, we’ll be able to give the people more of what they want. When the Kamloops Daily News closed earlier this year, KTW had to change, its sports section included. It became evident in a hurry that readers missed the Daily’s national sports agate — columns and rows of data such as standings and league-leader tables. We’re a local-first paper and will remain that way, but our national sports coverage has expanded and now we’ve struck a deal with the Canadian Press to use its agate. The plan is to have one page dedicated to agate each Tuesday, focusing on stats from the major national leagues, such as the NHL and the NFL, along with the WHL. Room in our paper is tight and we want to make sure we’re covering Kamloops athletics, but readers understandably want to see more national news. The Tuesday agate might not completely satisfy the thirst of stat-loving fans, but it will at least allow them to sit down with a coffee and get a quick look at what’s going on in the sports world. And, we’ll continue to mix in national stories — they usually appear in the back pages of our sports section — with our local coverage

We also need to make editorial decisions on which type of agate we include. Send us your opinions on which standings and tables you’d like to see in our paper. In other KTW sports-section scuttlebutt, Kamloops Minor Hockey Association media representatives were addressed in a column that appeared in our paper a few weeks back.

Lifts churning at Sun Peaks All three of Sun Peaks Resort’s mountains and the entirety of its Nordic-trail network are scheduled to open today (Nov. 27). Sun Peaks received more than 10 centimetres of new snow on Tuesday night and, with another 15 cm forecast over the next two days, the midmountain base is expected to be about 80 cm. “Our excellent summer grooming means we will be able to open a substantial amount of terrain this week,” said Jamie Tattersfield, mountain-operations manager for Sun Peaks Resort Corporation. “This is a great start to the winter season as we are well ahead of last year’s snowfall at this time.” An estimated 50 ski runs will be open today with additional trails opening as the mountainoperations team readies and assesses the terrain. Most major chairlifts, including Crystal, Sundance and Morrisey, will open today, along with Morrisey Platter and the magic-carpet lifts. The Burfield chairlift is scheduled to open on Saturday,

The TRU WolfPack men’s basketball team will look to break its three-game losing streak this weekend as they head to Calgary to face the Mount Royal Cougars. Both TRU and Mount Royal are 3-3. The WolfPack took a split from Edmonton’s MacEwan Griffins two weeks ago, before losing back-to-back games to the Fraser Valley Cascades at the Tournament Capital Centre on the weekend. On Friday, Nov. 21, the Pack lost 83-73 to the Cascades, despite 22 points and 13 rebounds from forward Josh Wolfram.

Cowboys, Eagles square off in NFC East showdown SCHUYLER DIXON
THE CANADIAN PRESS
“The one thing with Mark that I think
everybody forgets is he missed an entire year
last year, and he’s only played 3 1/2 games
for us so far this year,’’ Kelly said. “There’s still a
growing process for him within our system.’’

ARLINGTON — Tony Romo still talks about wishing he had been on the field instead of at home following back surgery when the Dallas Cowboys lost a playoffs-or-bust finale to Philadelphia last season. Eleven months and yet another back injury later, the Dallas quarterback will be out there tonight (Nov. 27) against Mark Sanchez when these NFC East rivals play on Thanksgiving for the first time in 25 years with the division lead on the line. No post-season fates will be sealed this time. Instead, a pair of 8-3 teams in good playoff position at the moment will play the first of two games against each other just 18 days apart. “I don’t think you’re going to decide the division right here,’’ Romo said. “But, we also understand the importance of it.’’ Romo will see how his back responds to the first quick turnaround since surgery for a herniated disk last December, followed by two small fractures in his back sustained last month on a sack against Washington. The Cowboys will kick off about 90 hours after Romo rallied them past the New York Giants 31-28 with a late touchdown pass to Dez Bryant. The 34-year-old Romo has 22 touchdowns and three interceptions since throwing three interceptions in the first half of the opener against San Francisco. He’s had a quarterback rating of at least 135 in three of the past four games. “He doesn’t look like he has any back issues,’’ Eagles coach Chip Kelly said. For Sanchez, the question is more about rust than rest. After missing all of last season with a shoulder injury, he will make his fourth start since Nick Foles went down with a broken collarbone. Sanchez has 985 yards passing and five touchdowns with four interceptions in three starts. In his four games, he’s already matched
Romo’s interception total of six.

ò Obituaries & In Memoriam ô LUCRETIA (PAT) FOLEY 1929 - 2014
It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful but sudden passing of our dear mother and best friend on November 15, 2014. Remembered lovingly by son Murray (Judy) Foley and daughter Elaine (Mario) Torchia of Kamloops BC; many special grandchildren, great-grandchildren, her sisters Sylvia, Connie, brother Jerry, brother-in-law Les and many nieces and nephews. Lucretia is predeceased by her husband Ed, son Brent, parents Mike and Marie Skappak, sister Lyvena Maahs, brother Ory Skappak, sister-inlaw Cheryl Skappak, brother-in-law Joe Weichnik and nephew Doug. Lucretia spent many years on the farm in Oyen, Alberta making Kamloops their home in 1965. Dad’s work took them on many travels throughout the years but they always loved to come back home to Kamloops to be with their children. Lucretia enjoyed the little things in life, whether it was her home, early farm days or her yard and flower garden, she loved and appreciated life with all its blessings. She loved all her phone calls from family and friends and to reminisce about the good old days but especially stories of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren asking about each of them. She left our hearts with beautiful memories. Mom will be missed very much but will be forever remembered and loved. A family graveside memorial was held on November 21, 2014 with Sandra Sugden officiating and was followed by a celebration of life at her home. Thank you to all our family who traveled to be with us, all the comfort food, the phone calls and love and support.
“God called your name so gently that only you could hear… No one heard the footsteps of the sweet angels drawing near… So softly from the shadows, there came a gentle call… You closed your eyes and went to sleep… you quietly left us all”
Christmas Memorial Services Schoening Funeral Service At this time of year, we feel our losses most keenly. Please join us to remember those whom we have loved and lost...
RONALD CHARLES LEAKE October 26, 1963 - November 18, 2014
It is with immense sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our son, Ron Leake. He succumbed to cancer after a very short and hard fought battle. We, his parents, Fred and Nancy Leake, his brother Jonathan Leake and his nieces Beth and Aymee Leake will forever remember this remarkable, loving individual who filled our lives with laughter, joy and pride. Also cherishing his memory are his very dear family of close friends, who enjoyed Happy Hours at his Pad, sports (curling and golf, watching hockey), trips and dinners: Peter and Roseanna, Dianne, Burke, Andrew and Kelly, Marnie, Elisha, and Greg and Tahira. He was so blessed to to have such wonderful, caring friends who went through thick and thin for him. We are so grateful for each of them - thank you. He also leaves to remember him, several aunts, uncles and cousins, some of who were very close to him. He was the kind of person who brought sunshine and happiness into the lives of all who knew him. A special star shines in the heavens to remind us, of our very dear Ron. A celebration of life will be held in New Westminster at the Royal City Curling Club on Thursday, December 4 from 1 - 4 pm.
Elgie, Gloria Yvonne
HELEN LOUISE KOCZKUR Helen Louise Koczkur was born in Cochrane, Alberta on October 16, 1922.
Elgie, Gloria Yvonne, passed away from the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home in Kamloops on Monday, November 17, 2014 at the age of 73 years.
She resided in Grand Valley on the Swanson ranch. She went to Cochrane, Chappleton and McDougall schools in Calgary. She went out to work in 1941. She married Rae Steele in 1942 and had twins in the bush. She married Lee Maidment in 1956, then Lou Koczkur in 1966. She is predeceased by all three husbands. She is also predeceased by her parents Ivy and Paul Swanson, daughters Heather Maidment, Connie (Groenendyh) Reid, son Ronald Steele and her grandson Kevin Groendyk. She is survived by grandson, Chris and wife Joyce Groendyk and great-grandchildren Courtney, Fieren, Hayden, and Arie all of Kamloops, son-in-law Jim Reid and many, many dear friends in Alberta and BC.

Special thanks to Brad, Donna and Carole, could not have managed without you and Janet. She sends her love to all she loved and knew over the years in Canada.

Gloria was a longtime resident of the Ashcroft area, also having lived some years in Savona, and Kamloops. She had a wonderful, and sometimes inappropriate, sense of humour, that was quick to put a smile on someone’s face. She had a great love of music, and in the 70’s played guitar and sang in a band with her husband Jack. Always an animal lover, Gloria could be found both hand feeding, and tending to feeders for area birds and squirrels. Gloria is survived by her loving children David (Deb) Elgie of Ashcroft. BC, and Lorne (Liz) Elgie of Comox, as well as by her grandchildren Devin of Ashcroft and Whitney May of Edmonton. She was predeceased by Jack, her loving husband of 44 years and by their daughters Sharon and Janine and grand-daughter Jessie.

DANIEL HALLER After a lengthy battle with Cancer, Dan passed away quietly at Hospice House on Sunday, November 16, 2014. Dan and his twin brother Sam were born in a cabin at Buck Lake, Alberta, on January 20, 1925, joining their brother John and sister Taffy. Dan served in the Canadian Armed Forces towards the end of WWII. Following his service, he did a variety of work from bartending to construction before completing his plumbing and heating apprenticeship. Dan then operated his own commercial plumbing and heating business in Calgary. During this time he met and married Joyce. They moved to 100 Mile House in the early ‘80s and built their retirement home on Fawn Lake Road. They both worked as guards for the local RCMP detachment. When Joyce became ill, they and their much loved little dog “Brew”, moved to Kamloops in 1995. Joyce passed away on June 21, 1998. Dan was happiest keeping busy with home improvements, gardening, fishing and camping. He made a few trips across Canada in his motor home, supporting the Canadian Legions and Army and Navy Clubs wherever his travels took him. He, along with his friend and companion Verna, also enjoyed trips to Mexico, Cuba and the Panama Canal. A few years ago, Dan added a new dog to his home and “Abba” brought a great deal of happiness and comfort to both Dan and Verna. As well as Joyce, Dan is predeceased by his parents, siblings and nephew Lenny. He is survived by Verna Lister and her family: Dave (Terry) Prehara, Mike (Sue) Prehara and Debbie (Harry) Miller, as well as Joyce’s children: Donna (Ken) Youngson-Gay, Bruce (Glenys) Youngson and Linda Youngson, and Lenny’s wife Marion Haller and various nieces and nephews. We wish to thank Dr Jennifer Thomas, the medical staff at RIH and Home Care, and the staff of Hospice House for their care of Dan. Dan requested there be no service, however there will be an informal gathering for friends and family to remember Dan on Friday November 28, 2014 at The Army & Navy Club, #9 – 177 Tranquille Road, Kamloops (the former Beach House Restaurant), from 2pm to 5pm. If you wish to make a donation in Dan’s memory, consider the Kamloops Hospice Association or the Canadian Cancer Society BC & Yukon Division.
CORNELIA (CORRIE) de VRIES It is with sadness and joy that we announce that Corrie de Vries passed away peacefully at the age of 75. Corrie was born in Amsterdam in 1939 and immigrated to Canada in 1956 settling in Montreal. In 1977 she moved with her family to Kamloops, BC. Corrie was predeceased by her husband John of 46 years in 2004.

GLOBAL VIEWS
Conspiracy or cock-up? EXAMINING THE UKRAINE SITUATION
T
his is what former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, subsequently driven from office by mass protests in Kiev, said to German Chancellor Angela Merkel just one year ago, at the start of the crisis. It was recorded by a Lithuanian television crew, eavesdropping on the conversation with a directional mike, at the European Union summit in Vilnius, where Yanukovych announced he was not going to sign an EU-Ukraine trade deal. “The economic situation in Ukraine is very hard and we have big difficulties with Moscow,� Yanukovych explained to Merkel in Russian (which they both speak fluently). “I would like you to hear me. I was left alone for three-and-a-half years in very unequal conditions with Russia . . . one to one.� The Ukrainian president was not overthrown by a “fascist� plot, as Russian propaganda would have us believe, nor was NATO hoping to make Ukraine a member. (Indeed, NATO had repeatedly told the previous Ukrainian government, which was very pro-Western, that under no circumstances could it ever join the Western alliance.) Exactly one year into the crisis, it’s useful to remember what really happened. The basic question you have to ask about any international crisis is: conspiracy or cockup? The Ukrainian crisis definitely falls into the latter category. Nobody planned it and nobody wanted it. Here’s how they stumbled into it. Yanukovych inherited the negotiations for a trade deal with the EU from the previous government when he returned to the presidency in 2010. He was overthrown by the Orange Revolution in 2004 after winning a
GWYNN DYER
World
WATCH rigged election. In 2010, he won narrowly, but cleanly. He didn’t break off the talks with the EU because that would have alienated half the country — the western, mostly Ukrainianspeaking, part. Yanukovych was a typical post-Soviet political figure, deeply corrupt and almost comically greedy. The presidential palace he lived in on the banks of the Dnieper was so lavish it could have been in the Middle East, but he was a competent politician. Almost all his votes had come from the eastern and southern, mostly Russian-speaking, parts of the country, but he knew he couldn’t simply ignore the west. On the other hand, he couldn’t ignore Moscow, either. Russian President Vladimir Putin saw the EU as a stalking horse for NATO and was trying to persuade Yanukovych to join Putin’s Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) instead. Moreover, Russia had huge economic leverage, since it provided
most of Ukraine’s energy and bought half of Ukraine’s exports, mainly coal, steel and heavy industrial goods made in eastern Ukraine. So, for three years, Yanukovych temporized, trying to get financial guarantees out of the EU that would make up for the economic punishment Putin would inflict if Ukraine signed the trade treaty. The EU wouldn’t budge and there would be no special help for Ukraine. It would just have to take its punishment, Yanukovych was told, but the trade deal would be good for the country in the long term. Politicians have to live in the short term, however, and in 20122013, Ukrainian exports to Russia fell by half as Putin turned the screws tighter. Those exports mostly provided income for people in industrial eastern Ukraine, i.e. Yanukovych’s own supporters. The EU had left him “alone for three-anda-half years in very unequal conditions with Russia . . . one to one� — so, in late 2013, he made his choice. He broke off the EU talks and signed up with Putin’s EEU instead. Did Yanukovych foresee there would be big demonstrations against him in Kiev, where people had pinned their hopes on association with the EU? Of course he did, but he probably didn’t foresee the protests would be fuelled by the hamfisted resort to violence
by his own officials. He certainly didn’t foresee that he would ultimately be overthrown. Nor did Putin, who had put him in that impossible position. All the subsequent escalations of the conflict in Ukraine — the Russian annexation of Crimea, the proMoscow revolts in the two eastern provinces with the largest ethnic Russian minorities and the direct Russian military intervention that saved those revolts from collapse last August — have been driven by Putin’s determination to reverse his original error. If Ukraine cannot be brought back into Moscow’s sphere of influence, then Putin’s strategy is to neutralize and paralyze it by maintaining a permanent frozen conflict in the east. In coldly rational terms, Ukraine’s best strategy now would be to abandon those two provinces, Donetsk and Luhansk, which are basically open-air industrial museums, and leave it to Russia to subsidise them. But, it’s not going to do that because sovereign states never give up territory voluntarily. Realistically, therefore, Kiev’s best option is to strengthen the current ceasefire and let the front lines congeal and stabilize into de facto borders, while maintaining its legal claim to the two provinces. It remains to be seen if Moscow will even let that happen. gwynnedyer.com

teresathetraveler.ca
f you are looking for a fun way to learn about science and are interested in having a hair-raising experience, you need to check out the Big Little Science Centre. Dedicated to developing a passion for science in our community, the Big Little Science Centre inspires our community’s children, their families and our teachers to explore and experience science in an entertaining and stimulating environment. In other words, they are conspiring to make us think. Since it opened in February of 2000, it has welcomed over 100,000 visitors. The centre was the brainchild of retired high school physics teacher Gordon R. Gore, who asked the principle of David Thompson elementary if he could use an empty classroom to set up some of the science stuff that he had accumulated over his years of teaching. The small room was big with kids and that’s how the centre got its name. A few years later, the Big Little Science Society was formed to help Gordon out because his health was failing as a result of Lou Gehrig’s disease. The directors, who

They also helped move the centre to its new home in the former Happyvale elementary building on the North Shore. The current program format allows
visitors to experiment on their own at any of 140 plus hands-on stations located in three rooms or check out the special demonstrations and lightshow set up in three other rooms. Displays include a water tornado, a staticelectricity ball that will make your hair
stand on end, a giant kaleidoscope, a space phone, a wacky pendulum, a disappearing light bulb, a giant bubble making machine, a piano you play with your feet and a head table that makes your body disappear. The Big Little Science Centre appeals to kids between the ages of three and 93, so come on out and see how much fun science can be.

Trew hopes of being a band ‘for everybody’ From page B1
“Anybody in the band can write,” MacDonald said, “and then we jam until something starts to come together.” When asked to name his favourite song to perform, MacDonald said the newest songs are always the ones he loves the most and, of those on the latest release, the No. 1 fave would be
Where’s the Love. While the band enjoys touring, it also poses a potential “worst nightmare” for MacDonald. With night after night of rocking it out and the reality he sings high, MacDonald said he dreads shows in which he loses his voice. The worry is fuelled by the reality he has had a
bronchial infection that “comes back to haunt me.” Counteracting that worry is the simple reality that he and his bandmates can look out at their audience “and there’s a woman in her 70s and next to her is a 12-year-old kid. “I like to think we’re a band for everybody.” Success and awards have greeted the band
since it released its first full-length CD, House of Ill Fame, in 2003. It likely helped to have Gordie Johnson of Big Sugar produce it, as well as having singles that hit the top of the country’s rockradio charts. The following year, the band was nominated for New Group of the Year at the Juno Awards — losing
to Billy Talent. Its single, Not Ready to Go, was nominated for Single of the Year in 2005 — losing to K-Os. MacDonald said he’s come a long way from the kitchen parties at his home in Antigonish, one where his dad and grandma — the other musicians in the family — would get everyone singing and playing. “It’s always been in the

Kamloops author and playwright Ian Weir will be at Chapters bookstore on Saturday, Nov. 29, at 1 p.m., to sign copies of his new book, Will Starling. Set in 1816, the book is focused in London England, where Starling, a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars for four years, returns to after spending five years assisting a military surgeon. Starling tries to build a medical practice and find his place in his hometown, a journey that includes a grave robbing gone
wrong, a prostitute accused of murder and Starling’s quest to find the truth. Weir said one of the characters in the book is loosely based on his father, Kamloops surgeon Dr. O.A. Weir, who died seven years ago. “The novel is at heart a wistful tribute to my dad,” he said. Weir’s first novel, Daniel O’Thunder, was shortlisted for the Canadian Authors Association Award for fiction, the Commonwealth Writers Prize, the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize and the First Novel Award given by amazon.ca.

‘Nobody talks about not making it’ to the NHL HOCKEY PLAYER’S BOOK DISCUSSES MISSING THE BUS TO THE ‘PROMISED LAND’
ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
T
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
he bus to the NHL is the only one Matt McCoy ever missed — but, in spite of that, he still had one hell of a ride along the way. McCoy’s new fiction book, The Kid Who Missed the Bus, draws on his hockey experiences and reveals the true nature of the road to the NHL and the lessons one learns. “It’s just about one person’s journey, trying to make it to the promised land of the NHL, not making it
there, but still having a really successful journey along the way,” the 43-year-old McCoy said from his home in Tsawwassen. “Even though I didn’t make it to the NHL, I had a pretty good life out of hockey.” McCoy will be signing copies of his book at the Kamloops Chapters bookstore tomorrow (Nov. 28) at 1 p.m. McCoy’s hockey journey started at the age of seven, living in Prince Rupert, where his parents settled after emigrating from Belfast, Ireland. At 15, he left home to pursue his
sport, making stops around B.C. and Saskatchewan, eventually suiting up for the Penticton Knights of the junior A British Columbia Junior Hockey League.

Matt McCoy (above) will be at Chapters bookstore in Kamloops tomorrow (Nov. 28), signing copies of his book, The Kid Who Missed the Bus (right).
Following his junior career, McCoy walked away from hockey, choosing to pursue an education in business and marketing. But, years later, the game was still calling his name. He went to Europe and played professionally in Denmark, the United Kingdom and Germany, before returning to North America and playing in Texas. A knee injury ended his playing career but, by that time, he had seen more than enough — and learned enough lessons — to write a book. That’s where The Kid Who Missed the Bus came from. “When I was playing junior hockey, a lot of my best buddies that I’d see every year when I came home, they’d say ‘Holy . . . you’ve got to put this in a book,’ because the stuff that happened every year would be kind of neat,” McCoy said. “Every season, there would be some unique
sort of story or something funny would happen.” McCoy’s road to the ranks of pro hockey wasn’t all rosy, as is the case for most young hopefuls. He knows all too well the challenges athletes can face living away from home with billet families, balancing athletics and school and handling the pressure of elite sport. He explores all those issues in his book, calling them problems all athletes
and families can relate to, regardless of the sport they play. “I want for them [the kids] to understand it, to read it. It’s not like, ‘This is going to be so simple,’” McCoy said. “Lots of people say, ‘Wow, this is such a cool book because everyone always talks about getting to the promised land. No one ever talks about not making it.’ “That’s the reality — so many kids in Canada don’t make the NHL. Less than
one per cent play in the NHL, but all of us strive to make it there.” However, as McCoy learned, enjoying the journey is just as important as where you end up — even if it means you might miss a bus or two along the way. For more of McCoy’s story, or to order the book, go online to thekidwhomissedthebus.com. From now until Christmas, shipping will be free on any order across North America.

Hyundai combines turbo engine and character the sport seat. I started to grin. “Ah, there you go,” I muttered, patting the
stick shift of the 2015 Veloster Turbo and easing off the throttle after that brief burst of automotive hubris. It was pretty much the same reaction I’d had the first time I drove the turbo version, not long after its initial unveiling of the 2013 model. It takes a lot of time and effort to bring a new car to market, so automotive manufacturers prefer not to shoot their bolt all at once. They tend, rather, to string out the release of a new product over the course of the following years, re-stoking consumer interest with follow-up versions, maybe adding a more powerful engine alternatives or new technologies, options or colours every year or, even, by varying the lineup with entirely new models. Ditto for Hyundai, the company that brought the new Veloster compact hatchback to Canada a few years ago. The Veloster caused a stir with its aggressively styled curves and lines, combining a road-hugging sporty stance with K-tailed, chopped teardrop aerodynamics and Hyundai’s trademark “Fluidic Styling” touches. Frankly, there wasn’t anything else on the road quite like it and it drew comments for its UFO-like, hunkereddown styling and youthful character. Early adopters snapped them up as a unique and personal fashion statement. Those kinds of customers tend to focus more on form than function and the 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine’s 138 hp was probably judged as adequate to suit the style and dayto-day commuting demands. But, I think a different pool of customers, gearheads with performance inclinations, were holding out for the engine the Veloster deserved.

And, they were rewarded a short year later with the debut of the Veloster Turbo, a performance-oriented sibling boasting a twinscroll turbocharged
And this turbo makes that power honestly, running thriftily on regular octane fuel. Fuel economy doesn’t take much of a hit with the turbo, returning a
1.6-litre T-GDI engine rated at 201 hp and 195 lb/ft of torque. That’s almost half as much power again, compared to the entrylevel naturally aspirated engine.

9.7/7.0L/100km (city/ hwy) rating compared to the starting lineup’s engine rating of 9.0/6.7/100km (city/ hwy). My real-world results from mixed driving in a Veloster Turbo, including occasional bouts of insanity and adrenalized acceleration, worked out to 8.4L/100km (comb). Hyundai’s lineup of regular 2015 Velosters runs the gamut of trim levels, from the base model to SE and Tech versions. Prices range from $18,299 to $23,799.
Two transmissions are available — a standard six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed EcoShift Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) ($1,400). As tested here, the 2015 Hyundai Veloster Turbo starts at $26,749 and — as you’d expect from the price — along with the added power, the Turbo comes with a longer list of included content, items like climate control, a panoramic sunroof, Bluetooth connectivity, a 115V AC outlet and a seven-inch touch screen showing naviga-
tion and rearview camera images along with an eight-speaker 450watt Dimension audio system with external amp and subwoofer. The front seats are heated and roomy. As in most coupes, the second row seems an afterthought, suitable only for punishing the occasional extra passenger. But, the Veloster does manage one neat trick. It is a three-door vehicle with an almost seamless, forwardhinged third door tucked behind the pas-
senger door. It’s easy to poohpooh this extra entry to rather cramped rear confines. But, the fact is, the third door does allow easier access to the second row for the stuff you normally throw in the back seat, or even for an infant seat, which means that for young couples starting families, the Veloster is actually a viable bridge between two-door sportiness and four-door practicality.
