INSIDE KTW

After a visit to Kamloops, B.C. Liberal cabinet minister Peter Fassbender said he is hoping to help the city find a solution as it looks to collect tax dollars from the New Afton mine.

The City of Kamloops has filed an applica-tion to annex the mine west of the city, but the proposal faces opposi-tion from the Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn First Nations (together called the Stk’emlupsemc te Secwepemc Nation, or SSN).

“They were very clear with me today they oppose it,” Fassbender told KTW.

His Ministry of Community Development, Sport and Cultural Development is responsible for boundary-extension requests.

“But, as I said to them, our role is to see if we can bring all the parties together and provide some perspective they can look at that hasn’t been considered, and also looking at best practices from other areas of the province,” he said.

In addition to the First Nations, Fassbender met with the city, toured the New Afton site and sat down with representatives from Domtar.

Domtar has lobbied the city for several years to reduce its industrial tax rate to the provincial aver-age, which was around $40 per $1,000 of assessed value in 2012, compared

to about $79 per $1,000 charged in Kamloops.

The city hopes to use tax money from New Afton to lower its rate for Domtar and other heavy industries.

Fassbender said he isn’t yet committing to a particular solution to Kamloops’ tax quanda-ries.

“The purpose of my visit was to meet with and listen to,” he said.

“Our team is going to go away and look at other best practices, options that might be there, and do an analysis of how we got to where we are in Kamloops. And then, from there, I think it’ll become clearer as to what some

of the more definitive options might be.”

He noted other com-munities have been able to negotiate tax agree-ments with industries outside their boundar-ies with no annexation required.

Mayor Peter Milobar said the province’s prefer-ence for a plan that all

parties agree upon came through in the city’s meet-ing with Fassbender.

“The very clear mes-sage was the province prefers agreements where everyone comes together and finds some way to agree, rather than the province imposing a deal or situation on people,” he said.

Fassbender wants to help city, mine in annexation talksANDREA KLASSEN STAFF [email protected]

The City of Kamloops wants to annex the New Afton mine, just west of city limits. B.C. Liberal cabinet minister Peter Fassbender, who was in Kamloops this week, said he wants to help the city and the mine come to a solution.

When George Casimir swings his Ford pickup into T’kemlups

Petroleum on the reserve, he sees more than a gas station.

Elected to council at just 26 years of age, Casimir helped usher in the development, one of his first accomplishments.

“It was one of my first proj-ects back in 2000,” he said dur-ing a tour of the reserve.

“I’ve never said ‘I did this.’ It takes a whole team.”

While the station struggled initially, Casimir said band council brought in new manage-ment four years ago and it now contributes several hundred thousand dollars a year to rev-enues.

Kamloops This Week inter-viewed Casimir and two other candidates for chief in prepara-tion for Saturday’s general band election. A fourth, Frank Paul, an RCMP member based in Kelowna, did not return mes-sages.

The winner Saturday will replace outgoing chief Shane Gottfriedson — now regional chief for Assembly of First Nations — in a position that has seen little turnover: Just three chiefs — Manny Jules, Bonnie Leonard and Gottfriedson have held the post since 1984.

Candidates Fred Seymour and Jim Thomas are equally enthused about bringing more development to Tk’emlups Indian Band, a pioneer in taxa-tion and one of the most suc-cessful in the country in terms of industrial and residential devel-opment.

Seymour is the most veteran, and only current council mem-ber of the group, having been there since 2000.

One of the next big areas for development is the Seven Mile lands surrounding the CN main

yard along Highway 5N. The current designation

calls for a mix of industrial and commercial development but the major hurdle is the cost of stretching infrastructure to the distant lands.

Seymour said Seven Mile “is on the radar.”

“We’re exploring different opportunities and ventures in our land areas,” he said.

Casimir, on leave from his position as housing man-ager with the band, believes Tk’emlups should work with certificate of possession holders (equivalent to fee simple owners on the reserve) with property between Mount Paul Industrial Park and Seven Mile.

“You can’t build infrastruc-ture for this and think it’s fea-sible,” said Casimir. “You have to phase it.”

Like Seymour and Casimir, Thomas has spent more than a decade on council. His history there stretches back to 1990.

He said the band should “act as owners” for development of Seven Mile or other lands.

“We should more focus on build to suit. . . . I’d rather build and act as owners,” he said.

Thomas also believes the area around Seven Mile is ideal for tourism-based use, in part because thousands of Rocky Mountain Rail Tours guests arrive and pass by each year.

Thomas most recently worked in Arizona and Alberta, where he was employed as a horse-racing official.

The veteran band member and former councillor said the band is proud of its powwow arbor but he believes its use can

be greatly expanded to include shows and concerts.

“The arbor seems like a big opportunity,” he said.

More than policies and per-sonalities, however, elections at the band and its 1,000 electors are about family alliances.

“It plays a major role,” Casimir acknowledged.

“It’s up to the people who want to be leader to speak to everyone.”

Thomas said he’s been kept running as he visits homes to speak one-on-one with families. One of their biggest concerns is housing.

“A lot want homes,” he said. “A few want to come back to

the reserve. A lot want to own and not rent.”

The chief candidates also mentioned more basic concerns expressed by members, includ-ing speeding and commuters cutting through reserve lands during Overlanders Bridge reconstruction — activities that continue despite work being completed.

Seymour, whose son Jesse was killed in 2012 and who attended the resulting criminal trial last year, thought long and hard before putting in his name for the position.

Along with his vacancy cre-ated on council, two other band councillors chose not to run this year.

“It’s about trust,” he said of band leadership.

“With younger people people on the reserve coming up there’s more candidates running for council.

“They’re young and willing to learn.”

MOVING WITHCHILDREN

Following separation, parents frequently want to move or relocate to a new community with a child or children in their care. Proposed relocation or mobility issues can be among the most emotional issues for families to deal with.

Under BC’s Family Law Act, where a parent wants to relocate with a child or children, and the move would aff ect the current child custody and access arrangement, written notice must be given to the other parent. Th e other parent then has a period of time to oppose the relocation by fi ling an application.

Th e court may make an order either permit-ting or prohibiting the move. For the Court to approve of such a move, the parent desiring to relocate with the children must show that the move is in good faith, that it serves the best interests of the children, and that all options for keeping the existing custody and access arrangement have been explored.

Contact a Fulton & Company family law lawyer to discuss any possible relocation.

BRIEFSRCMP are working with fire investigators follow-

ing a Remembrance Day blaze at a Columbia Street hotel.

Kamloops Fire & Rescue was called about 1:40 p.m. after reports of smoke from a unit.

RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush confirmed police arrest-ed a 34-year-old woman at at the scene “associated to one of the rooms.”

Arson is suspected. RCMP members were at the site Thursday along with fire investigators.

Platoon Capt. Rob Chalmers said crews saw fire and smoke billowing from a second-floor room when they arrived at the Star Lodge.

Flames were also travelling down the soffits on the exterior of the building. Crews knocked down the fire and entered unit 242.

“No one was in the suite at the time,” he said. “All the rooms were evacuated when the alarm was pulled.”

Star Lodge owner Manga Basi said yesterday he was alerted by staff to a smokey smell in a room adjacent to one occupied by a female guest. He sus-pected it was a smell from a heater.

“I thought that’s why the smokey smell is there.”A short time later flames and smoke were vis-

ible. Room 242 was rented to a short-term guest, a woman who was unsure if she was booking out that day, Basi said.

“We were lucky,” he said of the fire being con-tained. “Everyone helped everybody.”

He has shut five rooms but no long-term tenants were displaced.

Fire crews extinguished the fire, which Chalmers said was mainly confined to the unit with some damage to an adjacent room due to a door left open.

Monique Bastemeijer knew there had to be a better use for the

shoeboxes left in her closet.

Perhaps the empty cardboard was a reminder of a need that, for some, is con-sidered a luxury — and why she searched for a solution.

She found it in the Shoebox Project, a Canadian charity that sees women living in poverty over the holi-day season gifted per-sonalized boxes filled with goods they might not buy themselves — sweets, lotions, makeup, shampoo, tea, a brush.

In 2011, the Shoebox Project delivered 156 shoeboxes in one com-munity. Last year, it delivered more than 17,000 boxes to women

in 270 programs across 72 communities.

This year, Bastemeijer is starting the drive in Kamloops, with a goal of collecting 300 boxes for four local organizations — the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter, the Family Tree Family Centre, the Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre and the Interior Chemical Dependency Office.

“It was attractive to me because it’s some-thing different and something focused on women, to help them feel good about them-selves,” Bastemeijer said.

“It’s such a special time of the year and how nice would it be, that they feel people care about them?”

The local goal of 300 boxes is a reflection of the need expressed by the four organizations, though Bastemeijer said she’s sure that number is much higher across the community.

Charlene Eden, agency co-ordinator at the Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre, said they see hundreds of women, but they will identify women who are less likely to get gifts of this nature at Christmas.

“I think as a whole, as a community, we probably have hun-dreds and hundreds of women who who spend their money on their children and they aren’t necessarily get-ting a gift themselves,” she said.

“For the women we serve, receiving a gift like a shoebox filled with items they may or may not have access to really, not only shows them the community cares for them, but also reminds them of their worth.

“When a woman gets items that can allow her to feel like a woman, that can really shift a woman’s per-spective on her worth and her dignity.”

Shoeboxes should be valued at $50 and include sealed, unused things like body lotions, makeup (mascara, lipstick or nail polish), choco-lates, cookies, candles, mitts, scarves, hats, brushes or gift cards (McDonald’s, Tim Hortons, Shoppers Drug Mart) with the value identified.

Donors are encour-aged to include an

inspirational message on the box or on a card.

Boxes should be decorated but not closed, as they need to be inspected, and can be dropped off at Abbott Wealth Management, 207-1211 Summit Dr.

The deadline to donate is Dec. 10.

Read the follow-ing paragraph about an educa-tion project and attempt to explain to the person next

to you what the heck it means:“The program will focus on

project-based learning that sup-ports elementary, secondary and university teachers co-designing and implementing cross-curric-ular learning tasks and appro-priate evaluation tools. Areas of focus include enhanced stu-dent learning, building teacher capacity, utilizing innovative practices, connecting with the community, and deepening the learning network.”

I received the email and that paragraph, the crucial passage designed to describe what the program is all about, is essen-tially indecipherable.

It was the latest in a long list of government bafflegab in which PR people apparently feel the need to use and abuse buzz-words, stretch convoluted sen-tences to the extreme and insert every hard-to-understand piece of jargon they can find to justify the press releases they send out.

It is maddening, frustrating and irritating — and the above paragraph that arrived in my email inbox this week pushed me over the edge.

I read it. I read it again. I read it a third time.

I printed it out and asked some co-workers to read it.

They had to do so two or three times before coming to the understanding they did not understand what it was the

author was trying to tell us.So, I emailed the sender, a

member of B.C. Government Caucus Communications, and asked if he could boil that para-graph down into a simplified explanation even my cat could understand.

He replied, noting that hideous paragraph housing that obnoxious collection of confusion was actually writ-ten by someone at a school in Kamloops and was sent to the Ministry of Education as part of the project proposal.

The communications guy sent me some ministry back-ground, but conceded “it’s also pretty dense.”

Such jargon-filled paragraphs are apparently enough of a prob-lem that both the federal and provincial governments have plain-writing guides for their employees.

British Columbia has a plain-language web page that advises its employees to write in simple terms. It advises to “cut unneces-sary words, avoid jargon when-ever possible by using everyday

language, use words that are clear and commonly used by the audience and use concrete language with terms familiar to everyday people.”

Other governments have actually passed legislation, man-dating their employees to use plain language.

Five years ago, U.S. President Barack Obama signed into law the Plain Writing Act of 2010, which calls for plain language in every government document issued to the public.

The web site has some excel-lent examples of how one can clean up a message.

When I was 17, my vocation was that of a cleansing engineer with ancillary responsibilities for conveying post-mastication vessels from client locales to sanitation stations, at which I was tasked with ensuring their sterilization and re-delivery to item-specific housing units.

Today, I can say my job at 17 was being a dishwasher and busboy.

Oct. 13 is International Plain Language Day and, two years ago, Vancouver hosted a four-day conference on the subject.

At the time, I noted in a col-umn that other areas in desper-ate need of a plain-language makeover are instruction manu-als, legal documents and doc-tors’ instructions.

Here’s hoping the next gov-ernment-related paragraph that lands in my inbox is rinsed clean of verbose buzzwords that do little but obscure the message.

VIEWPOINT

Plain — with no cheezy buzzwords

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK

Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:

HOT: Collin Shirley’s performance in the CHL Canada Russia Series.

The Kamloops Blazers forward made the most of his last-minute addition to Team WHL’s roster for the two-game series this week, scoring four points to open action in Kelowna on Monday and fol-lowing with an assist in the rematch at Kamloops’ Sandman Centre on Tuesday. Shirley’s five points is a new record for a WHL player in the Canada Russia Series, an accomplishment matched only by cur-rent professionals Jonathan Huberdeau and Luke Adam and one shy of the all-time mark.

The 19-year-old has been among the Blazers’ most productive forwards this season and is getting much-deserved recognition after the annual CHL showcase.

NOT: Crime in Kamloops. Between suspected arson in a Remembrance

Day fire at the Star Lodge motel and a Monday stabbing at Walmart, it has not been a good week for the River City.

Thankfully, everyone seems to be OK. The security guard harmed in the Walmart incident was treated for non-life-threatening injuries at Royal Inland Hospital and no injuries were reported in the fire.

The silver lining is the work by Kamloops Mounties, who made arrests in the hours following the incidents.

HOT: Attendance at Kamloops’ Remembrance Day ceremony.Hundreds stood shoulder to shoulder in Riverside Park to mark

a moment of silence at 11:11 a.m. on Wednesday morning, prov-ing respect for Canada’s veterans is alive and well in the Tournament Capital.

Kudos, Kamloops. Lest we forget.

Editor: With the No vote on

the recent performing-arts centre referendum, I’ve had dozens of con-versations first lament-ing the vote was not a resounding Yes and then questions about “what’s next?”

The wind is certainly out of many people’s sails.

We had been hoping for more opportunities for performers and artists in our community and a centre worthy of our size and levels of cultural activity would have been a boon for Kamloops.

So, what is next? I would say everyone

get out and support the opportunities we have.

Take in a Kamloops Symphony performance, buy a ticket to Western Canada Theatre’s upcom-ing production of Mary Poppins, visit the exhibi-tions at the Kamloops Art Gallery, Courthouse Gallery and Arnica Artist-Run Centre, take in the number of choral con-certs in the lead up to the holiday season, enjoy the holiday pantomime.

We have many rich and wonderful opportu-nities to engage with the arts in our community.

These organizations depend on support.

Make a donation, vol-

unteer, become a mem-ber, participate in artistic programs, sign up for a class, buy Christmas pres-ents from local artists; all these efforts make a difference and strengthen us as a community that values art and culture.

A performing-arts centre may not be on the immediate horizon, but existing organizations continue to need and depend on us.

You can show you care. Culture matters and,

in the disappointment following this No vote, we need to continue to support the arts that are vibrant here and keep up our commitment to cre-ating opportunities and making Kamloops the exceptional city that it is.

Margaret Chrumka Acting executive director,

Kamloops Art Gallery

Editor: This is my third time

living in Kamloops.When I arrived, my

thoughts were of beauty and quaintness — a great small town.

When I left and came

back in the 1990s, I had seen growth but access was still viable.

Whether it was shop-ping, entertainment, cul-tural or sports-related, I could maneuver through-out the city via vehicle, bicycle or walking.

When I came back a few years ago for the last time, I was surprised to learn the population had grown by 20,000.

People were finding what I found out 25 years earlier.

I love Kamloops and it is where my heart has always been. The people are helpful and friendly.

For months, I read the pro/con debates with regards to the arts centre.

One writer quoted “You build it, they will come.”

I agree and am glad Kamloopsians said no.

Kamloops is a city but it still has small-town roots and several people want it to stay that way.

What’s wrong with small-town living?

Having been in the mainland, I am thrilled to live in a community with less traffic noise where I know and socialize with my neighbour and main-tain overall good health because of clean air.

Elaine Ward Kamloops

Editor: I have to think the No

vote in Saturday’s election was a selfish vote.

It was “all about me” and “what is in it for me,” not the investment in the community or the lasting legacy a Yes vote would leave to their children and grandchildren.

With interest rates low and the property already owned by the city, plus the very generous gift of $5-million by Mr. Fawcett, this would have been the perfect time to build.

Negative Nelly says PAC-not yet.

Well, when then? Marie Fabbro

Kamloops

Editor: I would have voted Yes

for the performing-arts centre had it not been for our mayor, half of city council and the provincial government working to turn our city into a min-ing town.

What’s the point of spending money on a multi-million dollar cen-tre in a toxic, polluted mining town?

That’s like hanging the Mona Lisa in a toilet stall.

If our mayor, council and provincial govern-ment were to guarantee Ajax mine would never go in, I would be the first

one to support and pro-mote a performing-arts centre in Kamloops.

Until then, my vote will always be No.

Sandi Mikuse

Kamloops

Editor:I voted No. I did not vote No to a

PAC, rather, I voted No to that PAC.

The plan was pretty but vague. The need for money was as strong as my need for clarity.

Contrary to what I hear, even though I voted No, I support arts and, yes, we do need a PAC.

But, we have a need for many things, includ-ing a strong downtown community centre.

I wanted a more multi-use facility downtown.

Perhaps fear monger-ing from the Yes cam-paign didn’t help, either.

Do you really expect me to believe we won’t address this for 10 to 20 years?

That is on the city, not the voter.

Come back soon. Come back stronger,

clearer, wiser and I just may follow.

But, for now, I will wait to vote Yes.

“Actually, there is a Plan B. Downtown businesses and the arts community need to get off their butts and start fundraising.

“The only part the city (tax-payers) should have in this is that the city will sell the old KDN building and property to them at cost.

“If there is a real business case for this project, then these two communities should have no problem attracting investors.”

A 31-year-old man whose toy assault rifle stashed in a backpack caused Kamloops Mounties to treat it like the real thing has been given a 60-day sentence for drugs found by police.

David Byford pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of drugs for the crystal meth and cocaine found in his backpack.

Federal Crown prosecutor Anthony Varesi said the incident started on Sept. 25 when a cus-tomer of the McDonald’s restau-rant in Aberdeen called 911 to report a man had an assault rifle stashed in his backpack.

Police converged on the

restaurant following a number of reports, including one that Byford was acting ner-vously.

Varesi said Byford attempted to escape by riding away on his bicycle, but was arrest-ed a short time later in the parking lot of a nearby motel.

“It was a toy plastic gun made to look like an AK47 [assault rifle],” Varesi said.

The drugs had a street value of about $120.

Byford has 33 adult convic-tions, including for trafficking when he received 10 months in jail.

Defence lawyer Jay Michi

said Byford has been homeless for a number of years, “living on the street or in makeshift shelters on the river.”

Michi said Byford has been diagnosed with ADHD and post-traumatic stress disor-der and has substance-

abuse issues.Byford also pleaded guilty

to breach of a probation order in connection to an incident in June, when he failed to report as part of his sentence for assault-ing a police officer. He was sen-tenced to another 60 days for that breach.

With time served on the drug offence, Byford was sentenced to a total of 93 days in jail.

BYFORD

Fears that the sum-mer drought would shrink B.C.’s cattle herd appear to be over-blown, according to an industry representa-tive.

Kevin Boon, gen-eral manager of the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, acknowl-edged this week some Interior ranchers brought cattle to mar-ket early this summer in the wake of high feed prices and dwin-dling range grass due to drought.

The federal govern-ment also offered a program encouraging ranchers to bring cattle to market early in order to deal with dry conditions throughout Western Canada.

“The late rains really helped out,” Boon said, adding “some guys went to market earlier than usual to cut down on feed usage.”

Wayne Jordan, an auctioneer at B.C. Livestock Producers Co-op in Kamloops,

said the cost of feed and a price spike for cattle in September brought an increased number of animals early to market.

Cattle sold at the auction here are primary shipped to Alberta feedlots before slaughter.

“All in all, the larger ranches have to wait to get off the range and

we’re on schedule,” he said.

After years of declin-ing prices in the wake of discovery of BSE disease more than a decade ago, B.C.’s herd experienced a corre-sponding drift down-wards.

But the rapid increase in those prices, setting records annu-ally, has not seen a cor-

responding growth in the overall herd.

Boon said there were concerns the summer drought would further shrink the provincial herd.

“I don’t think it will affect our numbers that much,” he said.

But uncertainty about range in the face of drought is keeping a lid on growth of the herd.

Today the number of breeding cows is between 185,000 to 190,000 provincewide.

That compares to 320,000 a decade ago.

“Things are ripe for us to grow,” Boon said, adding many ranchers, however, are investing in new machinery or other infrastructure rather than taking a risk by expanding.

While hay prices have come down from this summer, Jordan said they remain elevated enough to dis-courage some ranchers from keeping cattle over winter.

“You have to do a little soul searching as to how many animals you can keep over.”

Don Clarke tried walk-ing away from the Firefighter Combat Challenge.

He lasted one year before he was back competing with Kamloops Fire and Rescue.

“It’s like a sickness,” Clarke said with a laugh.

“It’s a love-hate relationship.”But, the relationship might

lean a little more toward love, now.

Clarke was an integral part of Team New Gold — KFR’s entry in the 24th annual Scott Firefighter Combat Challenge World Challenge — which set a world record in Montgomery, Ala., this fall, capturing its third world championship title.

Clarke’s time — one minute, 26.78 seconds — was one of three to combine for KFR’s world record 4:07.61. He was second only to teammate Mike Brown in the over-40 male category (Brown’s time was 1:22.95).

“Of our top three times, when Mike Brown ran — and he ran a 1:22 — we knew it was the best time he had ever run — by far,” said Graham Mackenzie, who ran a team best 1:17.88 and finished with the second-best time of all competitors in Montgomery.

“That was a really good way to start us off — we had a pretty good feeling,” he continued.

“We had an idea we were close to winning, the record was sec-ondary. Now that we’ve got the record, it feels almost better than taking the championship, because it’s tough to break world records.”

Firefighters Mark Brise, Shawn Davidson, Josh Booy and Bryce

McMillan rounded out the KFR contingent at the World Challenge.

The Challenge attracts hun-dreds of firefighters each year from locations throughout North America and the world and aims to demonstrate the rigours of the profession, while encouraging firefighter fitness.

Wearing full gear and a breath-ing apparatus, athletes race head to head and against the clock, performing a series of five tasks — climbing a five-storey tower, hoist-ing, chopping, dragging hoses and rescuing a 175-pound victim.

With its three best times, KFR finished nearly two full seconds ahead of second-place Team

Poland and more than seven sec-onds ahead of bronze medallists Iron Wolves, who represented Lithuania at the event.

With the win, the local depart-ment now has three world cham-pionships in five years. KFR last won in 2011 and 2012 and also won five-consecutive Canadian titles, from 2009 to 2013.

“Just having the success that we’ve had keeps us motivated,” Brise said.

“In our minds, we train as hard as anybody, if not harder. Obviously, it pays off for us.”

KFR’s record crushed the previous mark of 4:15, set last year by the

Hamilton Fire Department. But, it was anything but easy.Athletes battle not only the

clock and their opponents at the Challenge, but also the physical toll of the course. Already at a disadvantage once they suit up, the finish line can’t come soon enough — especially once they reach the final obstacle.

“The worst thing, and every-body will speak to it, is the misery of the Rescue Randy — the 106-foot victim drag at the end of the course,” Mackenzie said.

“Your legs are in absolute dire need of something you’re not giving them and you’re lungs are burning and you’re borderline

staying conscious. Then you fin-ish and, for some sick reason, it all feels worth it.”

It’s especially gratifying when you find yourself atop the podium and the owners of a new world record.

“Ideally, you can run your best time every time — that doesn’t happen. But, when you can run your best time on the days that matter, then that’s a huge sense of pride,” he said.

“That’s why we train so hard. The stars have to align — there’s a lot of amazing firefighters that we go up against and there are a lot of teams that were really close to beating us — but it was our day.”

Brennen Smith has never actually set foot on campus at Thompson Rivers University.

But, this week-end, the 18-year-old may well be the WolfPack’s top run-ner at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport Cross Country Championships.

The event takes place tomorrow in Guelph.

Smith’s arrange-ment might be the most unusual of all the varsity athletes competing under the WolfPack banner this season. A TRU Open Learning student who hails from Regina but lives in Victoria, Smith has never been to the Kamloops univer-sity and, until midway through the cross-coun-try season, hadn’t met his coach in person.

“I looked at the team, they looked really solid,” Smith told KTW from Victoria.

Now a few months later, he will be one of three men — Conlan Sprickerhoff and Tony Kiprop the others — representing TRU at nationals.

“I haven’t been to CIS [championships] before — I’ve heard it’s a really exciting and really fun time. I think I’ll really enjoy it.”

For Carmin Mazzotta, the WolfPack’s head coach, the addi-tion of a distance-learning athlete was an unusual, though exciting, opportunity. When Smith contacted his future coach with the idea, there wasn’t much debate, the former being a gifted athlete and a triathlete

competing on Triathlon Canada’s National Junior Series.

“It was just a good fit,” Mazzotta said.

“We hadn’t even thought about it — wow, OK, here were go, given the TRU Open Learning, we can have athletes from all over the place being able to compete with us.”

Smith moved to Victoria three years ago to further his triathlon career. He is a two-time Western Canadian high school champion and has an impres-sive resume including a ninth place finish in the 2015 Edmonton CAMTRI Triathlon Junior American Cup Series, a silver medal in the 2015 National Junior Series in Kelowna and a second place finish in the 2015 ITU World Triathlon Grand Final in Chicago.

Despite the acco-lades, he was looking for a way to improve the running aspect of his racing, which drew him to the idea of compet-ing as a cross-country athlete.

Since joining the WolfPack, Smith and Mazzotta have kept in touch by phone and email to discuss his training and the 18-year-old interacts with his teammates pri-marily by social media.

It was at the B.C. Cross Country Championships in Nanaimo in October — an event at which Smith was the top racer for the WolfPack — that he met his coach and the team in person for the first time.

After watching him compete at that event, and with an impressive cardiovascular base that comes from his years

in the triathlon world, Mazzotta said he feels the sky is the limit for one of his youngest rac-ers.

“It’s just a win all around,” he said.

“For him, he gets some cross-country-specific race experience, which is going to make his triathlon game bet-ter when it comes to the running. For us, it’s awe-some because we get a guy who is actually fairly talented as a runner and he’s another guy on the squad to help strength-en our team.”

Race dayWhere Smith fin-

ishes at the upcoming national championship, a 10-kilometre race, will depend on race day, but he is expected to be in the mix with fellow TRU men Kiprop and Sprickerhoff. The three finished within nine seconds of one another at the B.C. champion-ships.

“Both Tony and Conlan have also really blossomed this year — it has been a real suc-cess story,” Mazzotta said.

“I’ve got coaches talking to me, going ‘Where did these guys come from?’”

On the women’s side, Rachel Lobay and Alesha Miller will repre-sent Thompson Rivers in the women’s 6km. Mazzotta expects Lobay to be amongst the top finishers for the Pack at the event — she has already won two races outright this season.

“I don’t want to set expectations too high with the younger ath-letes like that, but she could be, potentially, top 50 in the nation, which would be phe-nomenal,” he said.

Josh Bosher of Kamloops has signed a letter of intent to attend St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia on a field lacrosse scholarship.

Bosher, a member of the ELEV8 Lacrosse pro-gram in Calgary since 2011, plans to study to become a veterinarian at the NCAA Division One school.

He is looking forward to, “the atmosphere sur-rounding the school, learning to further improve my game while being coached by coach [Taylor] Wray and being able to continue playing a sport I love while get-ting an education.”

Bosher’s brother, Jeremy, is playing field lacrosse on scholarship at Denver University.

Best of the bunchThere was plenty of

Kamloops representa-tion among the B.C. High School Football AA Interior Conference all-stars.

Cracking the team on offence: Offensive lineman Ethan Milobar (Valleyview), OL Gavin Day (Westsyde), OL

Corey Lanouette (Valleyview), receiver Trey Isaac (South Kamloops), receiver Kaden Cook (South Kam), running back Reece Barber (South Kam), RB Jeremy Strachan (Westsyde) and quarterback Ben MacDonald (South Kam).

Getting the nod on defence: Defensive lineman MacKenzie Sakaki-Hodder (South Kam), DL Jared Druskee (Westsyde), DL Grant Dolman (Valleyview), linebacker Braeden Hart (South Kam), LB Dylan Zienowicz (Westsyde), LB Brooks Miller (Valleyview), LB Talon Bennett (South Kam) and DB Lachlan Kennedy.

South Kamloops (3-1) is the only local team advancing to the

playoffs, which begin next week.

Valleyview (2-2) earned a 12-7 victory over Westsyde (1-3) last Friday to claim third place in the conference.

Vikings’ quarterback Hunter Koopmans accounted for two touchdowns and run-ning back/linebacker Brooks Miller scam-pered for 58 yards and made seven tackles.

Defensive end Justin Young had eight tack-les, one sack and one fumble recovery, while Clayton Baillie had five tackles and one sack.

Vernon (4-0) finished first, South Kam was second, Westsyde was fourth and Clarence Fulton of Vernon (0-4) was fifth.

The Sa-Hali AAA Sabres of Kamloops dispatched the Princess Margaret AA Mustangs of Penticton 2-0 (25-16, 25-16) in the final of the Fulton Senior Girls Volleyball Tournament last weekend.

Sa-Hali was jump-started by tournament MVP Caet Mckorkell and all-star Sawyer Hawgood.

Sa-Hali swept Kalamalka 25-20, 25-9, while Princess Margaret iced Vernon 25-21, 16-25, 15-9 in the semis.

The Lakers brushed back the Valleyview AAA Vikings of Kamloops 2-1 (20-25, 25-13, 15-13), while the Panthers upended the AA George Elliot Coyotes of Lake Country 25-23, 25-20 in the quarter-finals.

Princess Margaret topped the Westsyde AA Whundas of Kamloops 30-28,18-25,17-19, while Sa-Hali knocked off Fulton 25-17, 25-16 in the other quarters.

Fulton grounded

George Elliot 17-25, 25-21, 15-10, while Valleyview defeated Westsyde 25-19, 25-23 to share fifth.

“Once again the Okanagan is proving to produce very high-

calibre girls volleyball teams,” Fulton coach Sharon Shaigec said.

Princess Margaret is currently ranked sixth AA provincially and Sa-Hali is ranked fourth AAA.

Schools of thought differ on how breaks in between games affect teams that are rolling, much like the Kamloops Blazers were before beginning a six-day hockey hiatus.

The local WHL squad (8-8) will look to make it six straight victories tonight against the Giants in Vancouver in their first game since Nov. 7, a 5-2 victory over Prince George at Sandman Centre.

“The rest has been nice because we have guys that are a little banged up and we haven’t talked about it [the break] a whole lot,” said Matt Needham, who paused to let a police car swerve in front of him as he drove.

“(That was weird . . .) I think it comes down to how we’ve practised and we’ve had a couple real good ones the past couple days.”

Practices were held

at Memorial Arena on Monday and Tuesday and at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre on Wednesday due to the Canada-Russia Series taking over Sandman Centre.

The displaced Blazers returned to their home rink to prac-tise yesterday, one final tune-up before tonight’s B.C. Division clash with the Giants (4-10-2-2).

“It’s always tough going into that rink,” Needham said of the Pacific Coliseum. “They always seem to be a dif-

ferent team at home.“They’re not like in

years past, though, run-ning around trying to bang you up. You just have to beat them to pucks.”

Kamloops defence-man Dawson Davidson has points in each of his last eight games and the blue line will be bolstered by the return of Nolan Kneen from the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge in northern B.C.

Two Blazers will be looking to carry over momentum they

gained in a pair of games for Team WHL against the Russian junior selects earlier this week.

Collin Shirley regis-tered a goal and three assists in a 7-3 victory over Russia in Game 1 in Kelowna on Monday and Deven Sideroff lit the lamp in a 4-2 win over the Russians in Game 2 in Kamloops on Tuesday.

“I’m proud of the way they played,” said Blazers’ bench boss Hay, who was an assis-tant coach for Team WHL.

“They handled themselves really well and both games they came out and played at a high level.”

The Prince George Cougars (8-7-1-0) will be in town on Sunday to play the Blazers.

“It’s going to be their third game in three nights,” Needham said. “We match up pretty well against them.”

Game time is 6 p.m. at Sandman Centre.

NATIONAL SPORTS

VANCOUVER — More than three years on, the stench of the loss still lingers.

The Canadian men’s soccer team travelled to Honduras in October 2012 needing only a draw to make the final round of qualifying for the World Cup in Brazil, but instead suffered an embar-rassing 8-1 beating that crushed their hopes of making the tournament for the first time since the country’s only appearance in 1986.

“It’s something that I know a lot of us have been thinking about,’’ midfielder Atiba Hutchinson said this week. “It hurt us a lot.’’

Canada has an opportunity to avenge that defeat when it opens the penulti-mate CONCACAF qualifying round for the 2018 World Cup against Honduras today, the first match between the nations since the horror show in San Pedro Sula.

Game time at B.C. Place Stadium is 7 p.m.

“It’s a new team, a different situa-tion,’’ said midfielder Julian de Guzman, who, like Hutchinson, was on the field for the Honduran debacle. “It’s also another way of forgetting that result.’’

While the stunning rout got most of the attention, what really sealed Canada’s fate at this stage last time around were dropped points at home in a 0-0 tie with Honduras in Toronto.

Had the Canadians won that game, the outcome four months later at Estadio Olimpico Metropolitan would have been meaningless.

It’s a lesson the players learned the hard way.

“Home games are very crucial for us,’’ said de Guzman. “The last World Cup cycle, that’s what killed us.’’

Will Johnson added that, although winning in Vancouver ahead of a road game against El Salvador on Tuesday is vital, Canada is more capable of getting road results under head coach Benito Floro, who replaced Stephen Hart after the last failed qualifying campaign.

“You want to get the points in the bag as early as possible,’’ said the mid-fielder. “History says [Friday] is a ‘must-win’ compared to how Canadian teams have done, but we’ve also started to turn the corner a little bit and feel con-fident competing on the road. So it’s an ‘almost must-win.’’’

Part of that quiet swagger comes from a renewed attack that includes David (Junior) Hoilett — who only recently committed to play for Canada

— and Major League Soccer rookie of the year Cyle Larin.

Scoring has been the biggest issue in recent qualifying campaigns and it’s hoped Hoilett, an attacking winger who plays for Queens Park Rangers in England’s second tier, and Larin, a strik-er coming off a record-setting 17-goal season for Orlando City SC, can find the mark.

“It gives us a different dynamic, especially with Junior coming into the team,’’ said Hutchinson. “He brings a lot going forward. He’s the type of player that likes to get the ball and go at play-ers and create chances.’’

Among the 12 countries left stand-ing in the qualifying region that covers North and Central America and the Caribbean, Canada is ranked 102nd by FIFA and is in one of three four-team groups along with No. 24 Mexico, No. 94 El Salvador and No. 95 Honduras.

The two best teams in each round-robin pool advance to the final round of qualifying, with the top three get-ting places at the World Cup, while the fourth has to face an Asian country in a two-game playoff.

After the games today and Tuesday, Canada plays Mexico home and away in March before visiting Honduras and hosting El Salvador in September.

Canada looking for revenge against Honduras in key World Cup qualifierJOSHUA CLIPPERTON THE CANADIAN PRESS

BORDEAUX, France — After capping his return to figure skating with a gold medal at Skate Canada, Patrick Chan is odds on to win a fifth Trophee Eric Bompard title in France this week-end.

Chan took a year off after the Sochi Olympics to avoid a burnout and the three-time world champion has come back fresh and hungry for more success.

He topped Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu for first place at Skate Canada with a beautiful long program that made up for the numerous mistakes in his short.

He will compete at the French event for the sixth time, having won in 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2013.

His main threat at Meriadeck ice rink could come from

American Max Aaron, who surprisingly won at Skate America ahead of Shoma Uno of Japan.

Uno and Bompard defending cham-pion Maxim Kovtun of Russia, who is compet-ing in his first Grand Prix event this season, are also among the con-tenders.

Halfway through the seven-event series, Aaron is looking to book his spot at the Grand Prix Final in December for the first time.

In the women’s competition, world champion Elizaveta Tuktamysheva of Russia chases her first win after a confidence-boosting recovery that saw her climb from seventh after the short program to a second at Skate Canada.

Among her rivals is American skater Gracie Gold, looking for anoth-er podium after her second place at Skate America.

Obituaries & In MemoriamALBERT BOSSERT

Albert Bossert (Age 83) passed away peacefully after a brief illness on November 10, 2015; he will be dearly missed.

Our father was born in Hoffnungstal, Bessarabia on October 5, 1932 to Alexander and Lydia Bossert. Dad learned his trade in Cabinetry while growing up in Germany. He built many decks and fences for family and himself, and his attention to detail and quality workmanship was unparalleled. Dad immigrated

to Canada in August 1951 when he was just 18 years of age. After arriving in Quebec, and spending a short time in Saskatchewan, he found his way west and settled in Kamloops. Dad was employed with Balco Industries in Heffley Creek (later Canfor and Tolko) for 37 years, where he was an expert in his field and well respected by his peers. In the 1950’s dad excelled at soccer, and was an asset to the Kamloops United Soccer team for several years. While raising his kids, dad always enjoyed playing pinochle, various card games, backgammon, ping pong and bowling. In his later years, he enjoyed watching Jeopardy and doing crossword puzzles.

Our father is survived by his three children: Connie (Brad) Bossert, Aldergrove, BC; Curtis (Linette) Bossert, Kamloops, BC; Carey (Christina) Bossert, Langley, BC; his brother Otto (Louise) Bossert, Auburn, WA; his sister Nelly (Reinhard) Kesting, Bünde, Germany; his grandchildren Riley, Alexander, Lindsay, Megan, Clay, Cole, Cayla, and Cassidy. Albert was pre-deceased by his parents, his sister Lena (Herb) Klausing, Kamloops, BC and his brother Werner (Ursula) Bossert, Bünde, Germany.

An honouring of his life will take place at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in his name to the Kamloops Hospice Association (kamloopshospice.com).

Her Journey’s Just Begun

Don’t think of her as gone away,Her journey’s just begun.Life holds so many facets,This earth is only one.

Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears,

In a place of warmth and comfort,Where there are no days and years.Think how she must be wishing,

That we could know today,How nothing but our sadness,

Can really pass away.And think of her as living,

In the hearts of those she touched,For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.

LEO DINICOLOJanuary 22, 1936 ~ November 16, 2012

When God was making husbands, as far as I can see,He made a special soulmate especially for me.

He made a perfect gentleman, compassionate and kind,

With more love and affection than you could ever wish to find.

He gave my darling Husband a heart of solid gold.He gave me wonderful memories

only my heart can hold.He was someone I could talk to

that no one can replace.He was someone I could laugh with

till tears ran down my face.Next time we meet will be at Heaven’s door,

When I see you standing there, I won’t cry anymore.I will put my arms around you

and kiss your smiling face,Then the pieces of my broken heart

will fall back into place.

Never thought of sorrow.So sure you’d always be

hereTook for granted each

tomorrow.

Now my life is all confusedSince you went away.You took a part of meAnd for help I daily pray.

But when God sent you to me

He never said that you were mine,

That I could keep you always –

Only borrowed for a time.

Now, He’s called you home,I’m sad and I shed tears.Yet I’m glad He loaned you

to meAnd we had these many

years.


FAITH

It’s a matter of relationship, not just a traditionS

everal years ago, I received a phone call from an old neighbour

who wanted to know why I had “defected” (his own word) from a faith like Hinduism and embraced Christianity.

He quizzed me, say-ing that historically Christianity was asso-ciated with crusades, imperialism, war, exploi-tation, climbing divorce rate, feminism and indi-vidualism.

In the course of our conversation, I realized his view of Christianity differed sharply from biblical Christianity.

His view, perhaps, finds echo among other non-Christian faith tra-ditions.

However, it is bewil-dering to know many Christians perceive Christianity differently.

For some Christians, Christianity is about miracles, healing and charisma.

For others, it might

be speaking in a strange tongue.

And still, for others, it is a path to material blessings and security.

For some, it is denominational segrega-tion, holiness and divi-sion of the sheep from the goats.

For many others, it is about winning pagan souls and increasing membership in church-es.

What is Christianity? I know a church,

which has a four-fold mission statement

which reads: Worship the Saviour, in the lost, disciple the converts and care for the fellowship.

But, Christianity is not just about doing things and carrying out a bunch of projects.

For example, if Christianity is about worshipping alone, it would never be able to outdo Muslims, who could shame many Christians by their punc-tilious prayers five times daily.

If it is about car-ing for the fellowship, Christianity would not outdo others who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the community.

Christianity is often defined by obsessions of Christian engagement into all kinds of external activities, but rarely by the fundamentals of what it is really about.

What makes Christianity unique?

What is the true essence of Christianity?

A good place to look is in the Bible.

How did the word Christian come to exist?

We read in Acts 11:26 that disciples of Jesus Christ were first called Christians in the city of Antioch.

It describes the disci-ples of one Christus, the anointed one (in Greek), the Messiah (in Hebrew).

In other words, exter-nal traditions, practices, doctrinal teachings, mis-sion activities and other “Christian engagements are not the right defini-tions for finding the true definition of Christianity.

It is the life of Jesus Christ in the followers and his teachings that comprise the identity of a Christian.

That takes us to the next question: How does one follow Jesus Christ?

Should he subscribe to teachings of the Protestant, Catholic, Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Methodist and other groups?

Who else can answer that question other than Jesus?

A text in Luke 9:57-62 describes what Jesus requires from his fol-lowers.

In the text, we read a certain man wanted to follow Jesus anywhere he would go.

But the Master, with his divine knowledge, perceived his failure to understand what that would entail.

He told this would-be follower: “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the son of man has no place to lay his head.”

We know Jesus was not homeless. He cer-tainly had a home and family.

Holes, nests, shelter, a place to lay our head are symbols that connote safety, security, comfort and rest.

In other words, if one wants to follow him expecting to be given one of these, he should know it should not be the priority of his company.

With wrong expecta-

tion, one cannot go all the way Jesus was plan-ning to go.

Twice Luke reminds readers of Jesus’ primary mission.

The son of man came to suffer and be rejected (vs. 21, 44).

And, if one wants to follow Jesus, he must come with such readi-ness.

In the same story, two other would-be follow-ers were also dissuaded in like manner in their pursuits.

In following Christ, it is all about how much we can trust Jesus.

Can our families be our priority?

Can our business take the prior place of Jesus in our lives?

Our love for God and our passion for his king-dom must surpass all other love and passion in our lives. The question is where is our first love?

These might seem to be difficult propositions but not really.

The scripture testi-

fies millions of men and women of God were able to live the life Jesus demanded from them.

God gives the grace to those who want to follow him and live a life wor-thy of his call.

For full commit-ment on the part of his followers, he gives his sanctifying grace, the empowering grace and the enabling grace.

For this reason, Apostle Paul could say: “In all these things, we are more than conquer-ors through him who loved us.

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, nei-ther height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:37-39).

Read before pontifi catingEditor:

Re: Michael Fenemore’s column (Tough to believe everything you read – even in the Bible):

While Mr. Fenemore does not define belief, he reasons that those who believe the Bible is inspired by the spirit of God also accept a literal interpretation of the whole Bible.

This is not the case. Many Christian denominations take a nuanced approach to scripture.

The Bible is a very complex book or, more correctly, a compendium of books. These books contain many subjects, to mentions just a few: a history of the Israelite people, social and religious laws, prayers, direc-tions to implement a more socially just society, all of which using the knowledge of the natural world that was common for the peoples of the Middle East at that time.

It is not surprising people thought the Earth was flat and the sun went around the Earth, etc.

God did not give writers of the Bible a scientific knowledge of the universe.

Rather, he/she inspired them with an understanding of God’s relation-ship with them.

As the theologian Hans Kung puts it,God’s cause is humanity’s cause.

Fenemore would do well to read before he pontificates on these mat-ters. I would recommend theolo-gians such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Paul Tillich, Hans Kung and Edward Schillebeeck, to name just a few, plus the great Jesuit paleontologist and thinker, Teilhard de Chardin, who reconciled evolution with Christian faith.

NATIONAL NEWS

OTTAWA — Tom Mulcair will rely on veteran members of his team to help the NDP flex its muscles in Parliament, despite its reduced strength.

Mulcair has named his team of critics, including longtime party member Nathan Cullen, who is to tackle the environment file and democratic reform.

Northern Ontario MP Charlie Angus has been named critic for indigenous affairs, Quebec MP Guy Caron will take on the job of finance critic and B.C.’s

Don Davies will focus on health.

The New Democrats, who are now touting themselves as the pro-gressive opposition, have been reeling since the party lost more than half of its seats on Oct. 19.

The party now has only 44 MPs in the Commons, including 16 rookies — a far cry from the 95 it had when the last Parliament dis-solved.

As the NDP comes to terms with its return to third-party status, the Liberals are mov-ing ahead with a strong majority mandate.

Davies said the New Democrats still have an important role in their new capacity.

“The NDP, I think, has a really profound role to play in this Parliament to hold the Liberals to their cam-paign promises,’’ Davies said.

“With the Conservatives essen-tially being preoccupied with leadership for the better part of the next year or two and with the extreme competence and excellence of Tom Mulcair, particularly in the House of Commons, I think that we’ll play a leadership role in bring-

ing opposition to the government.’’

Caron says he intends to hold the Liberals to account on their fiscal plans, including their pledge to eventually return to a balanced budget after running $10-billion annual deficits for three years.

He said the latest projections from the parliamentary budget officer seem to indicate there could be hurdles ahead.

In a report released Tuesday, the PBO sug-gested the new govern-ment will have to face bigger-than-expected

baseline deficits in the coming years as it rolls out its spending plans.

“The new govern-ment has been in place for three weeks, I’m sure that they are actually still studying the situa-tion right now,’’ Caron said. “In the end, the direction they will be going towards ... and the way that they will try to implement their priori-ties and commitments is of great interest.’’

Quebec’s Helene Laverdiere has been named the NDP’s for-eign affairs critic while immigration will fall to B.C. newcomer Jenny Kwan.

VANCOUVER — Finning International, the world’s largest Caterpillar heavy equipment dealer, has announced it will lay off 1,100 people in several countries, repre-senting eight per cent of its work-force.

The job cuts will include 440 people in Western Canada, 550 in South America and a smaller number in Europe where the Vancouver-based company has operations in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Combined with previous downsiz-ing efforts, Finning is on track to cut its global workforce by 1,900 in 2015, including 1,100 in Canada.

Finning also said Thursday that 11 locations in Western Canada will close, on top of 16 shutdowns that were previously announced.

“While these are difficult deci-sions, we believe we are taking the right path to adjust our business to market realities and ensure finan-cial strength, while simultaneously positioning Finning to deliver cus-tomer service more effectively and efficiently over the long-term,’’ CEO Scott Thomson said in a statement Thursday.

Finning sells heavy equipment used in the mining and energy sec-tors, which have been hit by a sus-tained drop in commodity prices.

In its latest results released yes-terday the company said new-equip-ment sales dropped by 27 per cent between its second quarter and its third quarter ended Sept. 30.

The third-quarter financial report also showed that revenue was down 10 per cent from a year earlier to $1.5 billion from $1.67 billion.

Net income fell 42 per cent to $33 million from $57 million. But free cash flow, which is what’s left after providing for servicing debt, increased 28 per cent to $140 million from $109 million.

“Our focus on managing the fac-tors within our control has contrib-uted to preserving a strong balance sheet and allowed us to improve profitability in our Canadian opera-tions on a quarter-by-quarter basis throughout 2015 despite a very challenging business environment,’’ Thomson said.

“Being able to achieve these outcomes under current market conditions gives me confidence that we will be well-positioned when demand strengthens.’’

Finning to cut 440 jobs in Western Canada

PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — A Saskatchewan man who pleaded guilty to a brutal attack that included setting a woman on fire wants to withdraw his plea.

Leslie Black pleaded guilty in April to the attempted murder of Marlene Bird on June 1, 2014 in Prince Albert. Bird, who is 48, was cut, burned, and had both legs amputated because of her injuries.

Black has asked for an expungement hearing after he recanted some parts of an agreed statement of facts.

At the hearing, Bird will present evidence to try to convince the judge to allow the plea to be withdrawn. The hearing is scheduled for March 10, 2016.

SASKATCHEWAN MAN WANTS TO WITHDRAW GUILTY PLEA


VANCOUVER — Vancouver police are refusing to disclose whether they use, or have ever considered using, a controversial mass-surveillance device widely adopted in the United States and vigorously condemned by civil liberty groups.

Earlier this year the Vancouver department rebuffed a freedom-of-information request asking for any records about a technology known as Stingray. The department claimed that divulging docu-ments on the topic could compromise the effectiveness of the force’s investigative

techniques.Pivot Legal Society,

the Vancouver-based advocacy organiza-tion that submitted the original access request, has since filed an appeal with the province’s information and privacy commissioner.

Stingray is a device that imitates cellular communications towers in order to trick mobile devices within range to connect to it instead. The cell-site simulator is then able to intercept both text and audio communication, as well as extract internal data from connected devices and even pinpoint their precise locations.

“It’s about police being able to gather

information outside of the context of the court system,’’ said Doug King, the Pivot lawyer who filed the informa-tion request. “It’s an incredibly frightening proposition.’’

The American Civil Liberties Union has identified 57 agen-cies in 22 states that own Stingray devices, though the group said that number likely underrepresents the actual total given how many agencies pur-chase the technology secretly. Known groups include the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the National Security Agency and the Internal Revenue Service.

King said he was

especially troubled by American media reports about Harris allegedly requiring customers to sign non-disclosure agreements in order to purchase Stingray tech-nology, pledging not to divulge any information about the device or even any interactions with the company.

“I think by saying the mere acknowledg-ment of its existence puts it at jeopardy is kind of a confirmation of exactly the concern we have about it: that this can only be effective if nobody has any idea they’re being watched by the police,’’ he said.

There have been no confirmed reports of the technology’s use in Canada so far.

“If they’re ever allowed to be used (here) then it’s a no-brainer there needs to be judicial oversight,’’ said King.

Canadians should be concerned about proper accountability measures being put in place, he added, especially given revelations over the past few years about the extent and intrusiveness of government surveil-lance.

In its response to Pivot, the Vancouver police would neither confirm nor deny hav-ing any information related to the mass-sur-veillance device, includ-ing whether it had ever been in contact with the Florida-based manufac-turer Harris Corp.

Stingrays also func-tion as catch-all devices, intercepting not just a single signal but rather surveilling indiscrimi-nately anyone within a particular radius.

David Christopher, a spokesman for the civil-liberty organization Open Media, said the issue of Stingrays isn’t restricted to Vancouver.

“This really does, presumably, affect police forces right across Canada, and also security agencies like the Canadian Security Intelligence Service,’’ he said.“In a sense, this is a real litmus test for the new (federal) govern-ment,’’ he added. “Will they lift the lid on what’s been going on here?’’

Vancouver cops mum on covert cell phone surveillance technologyTHE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Members of the First Nations Wild Salmon Alliance in British Columbia have written to federal Fisheries Minister Hunter Tootoo, requesting an urgent meet-ing to discuss plunging salmon returns in the province’s rivers.

The alliance’s Chief Bob Chamberlin says six million sock-eye salmon were forecast for the Fraser River this year, but only two million fish arrived, while 14 mil-lion pink salmon were expected, but barely one-third showed up.

The collection of B.C. First Nations that work to protect wild Pacific salmon stocks says the

decline comes as the provincial government approves an increase of industrial effluent into the Fraser.

Chamberlin says Tootoo must take immediate action, including a moratorium on all salmon aqua-culture ventures on the West Coast.

Elsewhere in B.C., the Tsilhqot’in and St’at’imc nations have joined forces to protect mule deer migration trails in a narrow strip between the Fraser River and South Chilcotin Park, northwest of Lillooet.

The two nations have banned Tolko Industries from further log-ging in the region, saying they have not given consent for such extensive cutting.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

The Kamloops Photographic Arts Club (KPAC) is all about sharing images, being inspired by each other and learning from each other.

When the club enters a com-petition such as the Canadian Association for Photographic Arts (CAPA) Around B.C. theme competition, members present their images that evening and all get to vote on the entries.

Submissions are rated on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 scoring highest for a truly outstanding image) and are screened three times before score cards are col-lected and tallied.

Several Kamloops members consistently have top scoring images, but are allowed only one submission per competition.

The top five, six or 10 images are then sent via the Internet to the host club doing the adjudi-cating, after being checked by the KPAC competition director for correct sizing, labelling and theme criteria.

This particular competition involved only clubs in B.C and the Yukon as the selection was to showcase images of B.C. for the 2015 CAPA Photo Expo held at University of British Columbia and hosted by B.C. for the national organization.

Having the submissions judged by four clubs was a dif-ferent twist. Acting competi-tion director Robert Nowland explained the process for judg-ing:

“The images were sent to the four clubs — Kelowna, Cowichan, Prince George and Lions Gate — to be scored on a scale of 1 to 10.

“The top images, including those selected, had scores from 2 to 10, while the CAPA scoring, with three judges, gave a num-

ber between 3 and 30. “By location, KPAC’s scoring

was 17 to 21, 15 to 20, 18 to 22 and 17 to 23.”

Congratulations were given to Kamloops’ club mem-bers Bonnie Pryce and Brian Mitchell for each receiving honourable mention for their images.

The Kamloops club placed 11th overall.

With 18 photo clubs par-ticipating, the top scores were closely contested.

The North Shore Photographic Society took gold with 429 points, West Vancouver Seniors Photo Club earned silver with 427 points and Delta garnered bronze with 425 points. Kamloops had 386 points.

Bonnie Pryce Heffley Solitude

This image was taken on a foggy September morning out the front door of Pryce’s cabin on Heffley Lake. It was gloomy and grey, but the fog over the water was so interesting and ethereal that Pryce had to get out to photograph it. She said this is her favourite picture of Heffley Lake.

The image itself was taken in colour and was beautiful as it was. However, Pryce said she just felt the mood lent itself to black and white.

“When I converted it in Adobe Lightroom, I realized that I was right,” she said.

“It enhanced the mysteri-ous quality of the image.

A paediatric physiothera-pist of 35 years, Pryce worked with special-needs children and their families.

Having recently retired, Pryce has become increasingly connected to photography, having more time in which to indulge her passion.

She particularly enjoys cap-turing her visions of the natu-ral world, especially at night,

as well as travel and cultural photography. She also enjoys many other styles of photog-raphy, each with their various challenges and differences inherent within each particu-lar genre.

The quote, “Photography is not what you look at, but what you see,” is, for Pryce, the essence of photography.

As she began developing

her skills in photography, becoming more passion-ate about it, Pryce realized it wasn’t just about seeing the light and lines, the textures, shapes and colours — it was about the feeling and mood that an image portrays.

For Pryce, a picture really is worth more than a thousand words.

It can capture emotion and

make the world stand still for a single moment.Dave Eagles’ comments: “Great composition and excellent decision to convert to greyscale. The ethereal quality of side lit or backlit light can be a powerful ele-ment within an image. It’s reminiscent of the floating mountains scene in the James Cameron movie, Avatar.”

Photography is ‘what you see’

Brian Mitchell Cox Bay, near Tofino

Mitchell joined the Kamloops Photo Arts Club in 2008, serving as treasurer for the past three years.

During that time, he has learned a great deal about pho-tography.

“In all honesty, I could not have taken this picture prior to 2008,” he said.

Mitchell said his fellow club members are more than willing to share their knowledge and

expertise with others.Mitchell took this image

last November at Cox Bay near Tofino.

Mitchell recalled the weather had been uncooperative all day but, just before sunset, the skies partially cleared, which allowed him to snap this photo.

“It’s moments like these that photographers live for,” he said.

“You have to be at the right place at the right time.”

“I have had other moments, but they don’t come that often.” Dave Eagles’ comments:

“There is something about a sunrise and sunset that appeals to most everyone. Perhaps, it’s because they’re the framework for both day and night — mark-ing the transition between dark-ness and light.

“Mitchell’s image is well-composed, using the rule-of-thirds to anchor the walkers on the beach within the photo. The addition of the dark vignette effect is a nice touch — it helps to direct the eye into the scene on the beach.

“Picture perfect.”

Ted Linden Serenity of Shuswap

The KPAC has a number of members who live a distance away in places like the Salmon Arm area, Logan Lake, Lac Le Jeune and the Shuswap.

Ted Linden lives at Blind Bay and captured this gorgeous image from his deck.

Linden said the KPAC is the

best club he has ever belonged to and, although he is unable to attend many meetings, he keeps in touch with club activi-ties through its online newslet-ter, The KPAC Snapshot, regular emails and the club’s website.Dave Eagles’ comments: “Whether or not you’re strengthening your image in-camera [polarizing filter] or during post-processing, this

type of image benefits from incorporating the right amount of contrast.

“The reflection of clouds in the lake appear to resemble ice-bergs floating in the water, add-ing a sense of the mystical. The snow scattered amongst the hills is a small, yet important, detail in adding to the strength of this high-impact image.

“Well done.”

Dolina Moon St. Mary’s Church, Notch Hill

As a member of the KPAC for the past 10 years, Dolina Moon said she has enjoyed learning and celebrating the art of photography.

With her attempt at creat-ing this image, she edited the photo by converting it to black and white and then increased the image’s con-trast.

“I think it created a mood of gravitas, with the derelict church being bypassed by the wheels of commerce,” she said.

“The leading lines of the railway appear to carry the

viewer swiftly, past the old church.”Dave Eagles’ comments: “As Moon states above, this image evokes a seriousness and weight, reinforced by the position of the aging church itself, tilting away from the

train tracks. It appears to be sinking into the earth. For me, this image portrays a sense of sadness and loss.

“The chapel, the brooding clouds and the predominance of dark tones along the tracks, work together to create

a sullen mood. “Although the railway line

appears to be the main sub-ject, I see the church to be more central to the photo.

“Great use of several ele-ments to articulate a strong historical mood.”

To Brazil for metal

A bit of Kamloops metal is making music in Brazil soon.

Necroholocaust is joining several other bands in Sao Paolo for Brazilian Ritual — the Fourth Attack.

Darrell Sharp, drummer with the band, said he was looking forward to bringing the band’s “unrelentingly heavy” music to the Nov. 14 show, that also fea-tures Morbosidad, Ad Baculum and Bellicum Bestiallis.

Sharp described the band’s music as a combination of death and black metal, influ-enced by groups like Vancouver’s Blasphemy and Finnish band Beherit.

Necroholocaust has been around for about five years but most of

its gigs are overseas, Sharp said; after Brazil there are upcoming shows in Europe and Asia.

They do mostly their own songs, occasionally throwing in a cover, particu-larly when they find themselves jamming for hours, something that leaves Sharp, as the man in charge of ensuring the drum kit sounds a lot like gun-fire, exhausted, he said.

“There’s just no easy way to do it,” Sharp said, but it’s something he loves “because it’s an outlet. Because it’s music. You just have to have faith in what you’re doing.”

It’s an all-expenses-paid gig, Sharp said, courtesy of the band’s record label, Iron Bonehead Productions.

Necroholocaust has been with the German company for about eight years.

Tour en routeTickets go on sale on

Tickets go on sale today for John McDermott’s show in Kamloops next spring.

The River City will be the final stop in a 10-show tour through B.C. for the award-winning singer.

The Scottish-born McDermott gave up his day job for good — he worked in the circula-tion department at the Toronto Sun newspa-per — in 1993 when

he performed to a full house in Halifax.

It was his first con-cert with his own band and he was opening for the internationally known Irish band The Chieftains.

Between the two bands and the Nova Scotian audience, the show ended up running more than four hours — and McDermott had found his passion.

He’s perhaps best known for his version of Danny Boy, one of 13 tracks on a CD he

recorded for his par-ents’ 50th wedding anniversary.

This was before music took over his life and he sang it a capel-la, the way his father liked it.

Friends heard it, pushed him to have it produced for public consumption and a couple of entertain-ment industry man-agers who had heard him sing at a karaoke night — including the president of EMI Music Canada — helped McDermott achieve

that goal.The album was

released on Nov. 10, 1992 and the next day, CBC broadcaster Peter Gzowski played three tracks on air.

The CD sold out and more were produced. Since then, McDermott has released more than two dozen albums.

Tickets range in price from $44 to $47, plus service charges.

They are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kam-loopslive.ca.

“Mom, they don’t murder girls”

▾ MYTH: Girls and women aren’t allowed to join gangs: Reality: Girls are joining gangs across Canada and there are many documented reports of

them being extremely violent. Girls are often used to hold and/or transport drugs

and/or guns because the girls and the gangsters don’t think

that the police will stop the girl…they are wrong.

gang murder in 2009.

TRAVELTRAVEL CO-ORDINATOR: JESSICA WALLACE

778-471-7533 or email [email protected]: Classifieds B14 | Comics B18

Helmcken Falls is one of the most spectacu-lar falls

in British Columbia and a must see for any outdoor enthusiast.

The 141-metre waterfall on the Murtle River within Wells Gray Provincial Park is the fourth highest waterfall in Canada — measured by total straight drop without a break — and was one of the reasons for the 1939 cre-ation of the park.

Credit for discovering Helmcken Falls goes to Robert Henry Lee (1859-1935), a land surveyor work-ing for the B.C. government.

According to Wikipedia, in 1911 Lee was awarded a four-year contract to survey lands in the North Thompson and Clearwater Valleys.

By 1913, he was working south of the Murtle River laying out lots for home-steaders.

On July 24, 1913, he walked west along the Murtle River from his remote camp and reached the top of the waterfall.

He was so impressed that he wrote a letter to Sir

Richard McBride, premier of British Columbia, request-ing the falls be named “McBride Falls.”

Three weeks later, Lee received a reply from the premier stating the waterfall was instead to be called

Helmcken Falls. This name honoured

John Sebastian Helmcken, a physician with the Hudson’s Bay Company who arrived in Victoria in 1850.

He helped bring British Columbia into Canadian

Confederation in 1871. Dr. Helmcken died in

1920 at the age of 95, but never actually saw the falls himself.

My friends Donna, Debbie and I tackled this eight-kilometre return trail in late August.

It was a warm day but the shady forested trail kept us cool.

The one-way in and out trail took us roughly three hours in total.

It is a fairly flat gentle grade but, the very tree-rooty path gives your legs a good workout.

About half way up the trail we discovered a stony beach with the most inter-

esting volcanic rocks. We stopped here for a

snack before continuing on to the brink of Helmcken Falls.

Most people see the falls from the viewpoint on the other side of the canyon.

Seeing it from the Rim Trail is a much more exhila-rating experience.

With no fencing to keep people from the edge, it is definitely a hike you want to bring your more cautious buddies on.

The trail follows right beside the edge of the can-yon where you will get a close look at the falls going over the edge and the small falls before the large one.

IF YOU GOHow to get there: Drive to Clearwater, which is approximately 1.5 hours from Kamloops. From Clearwater, drive about 42km north on the Clearwater Valley Road. Just past the Dawson Falls sign you will see a sign on the left hand side of the road for the Rim Trail. Park there and you will see the trailheadDid you know? There are six other waterfalls on the Murtle River, upstream from Helmcken Falls? The others are The Mush-bowl, Dawson Falls, Majerus Falls, Horseshoe Falls, Meadow Falls and McDougall Falls.

FUN BY THE NUMBERSLike puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: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!
