HOW TO REACH US:

Voting on the city’s $91-million arts centre is so far a bigger draw than the last municipal election.

More than 1,500 people cast a ballot in the city’s arts centre referendum on the first day of advanced voting on Wednesday.

It’s more than double the number of voters who turned out for the first day of advanced voting in last November’s municipal election, when 668 people cast ballots.

The city is asking residents whether it should borrow $49 million for its arts centre and parkade, which includes a 1,200-seat theatre, 350-seat black box theatre and 350 underground parking stalls.

A second day of advanced voting is set for Monday, Nov. 2, at Heritage House, 100 Lorne St., between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.

The referendum is open to all residents over 18 years of age who have lived in B.C. for at least six months, in Kamloops for at least 30 days, and are not otherwise disqualified from voting.

General voting day is Saturday, Nov. 7.

Opponents of the city’s performing-arts centre are pitching their own design for a building they claim would service the city at a lower cost.

“Spread the Tax Payers risk with Public/Private Partnership,” reads a brochure produced by the PAC Not Yet group, which should arrive in every mailbox in Kamloops by the today.

“Downsize the PAC, have more Individual and Corporate donations and Request fundraising from the Arts Community.”

The city is asking residents to vote on Nov. 7 on the question of borrowing $49 million for a arts centre and parkade on the former Kamloops Daily News site on Seymour Street, which would include a 1,200-seat theatre, 350-seat black box theatre and 350 stalls of parking.

It plans to fund the remainder of the $91-million cost using a pair of one per cent property tax hikes, gas tax and gaming funds from the federal and provincial governments and revenue from downtown parking meters.

Nelly Dever, spokeswoman for the Not Yet

CITY OF

KAMLOOPS

group, wants to see a smaller overall design for the building, similar to what’s in place in Nanaimo, which has 804 seats in its 17-year-old arts centre.

Dever is unsure if the black-box theatre is needed, though she notes Nanaimo is in the process of adding one to its theatre space.

She also believes the city should have partnered with commercial or real-estate developers for the project, something the city has said it will do if the referendum is approved. Dever said those conversations should have been stage one of the planning process.

“The only thing that’s secured in their whole financial plan is $92 million from the taxpayer,” she said.

Mayor Peter Milobar doesn’t think the Not Yet team’s vision for the centre reflects what Kamloopsians want.

“We based location, sighting, what’s in the space, the quality of what’s in the space based on public feedback at our public meetings,” he said.

“It’s kind of been a community-design process to a certain degree all the way through. We’re trying to offer people what they said they want to see in a centre.”

COMMUNITY

Dever also criticized the city for not taking a finalized design for the project to the public prior to the referendum.

“It’s very hard to have faith in an indicative design. An indicative design is an exhibit and it’s meant to inspire and stimulate discussion. It’s not a final design as to what a building will be,” she said, noting the the city has already spent just under $5 million purchasing the Daily News site and paid for a pair of consultants reports on the project.

Milobar again disagreed, pointing to $6 million of the $91-million budget for the centre, which is earmarked for a full design.

“Nelly’s saying we should have spent another $6 million before we checked back with the project,” he said. “If she’s read the studies, that’s what we have budgeted. We have committed — and we did this with the Tournament Capital project — to giving people the broad concept, but we know things are going to move slightly. “ Dever said her group next plans to post the city’s cost breakdowns for the arts centre, available on the city’s website, on its Facebook page as part of a continuing discussion about the project.

The City has received a number of questions about the Performing Arts Centre and Parkade.

We want to share the most common to inform voters for the November 7th referendum.

7 questions to help you decide Performing Arts Centre & Parkade FAQs

1. Why is the City proposing a parkade and performing arts centre (PAC) complex?

There‘s a shortage of theatre space and parking in our city centre. Building an underground parkade with a performing arts centre above meets our needs and makes full use of the property.

Adding performing arts with sport tourism allows us to diversify and complement our local economy. The complex will attract performers with specific requirements on venue and seating capacities. And local performers will benefit too with access to full production theatres and rehearsal halls.

2. How does this impact my property taxes, what will it cost me?

There are two phases; a 1% tax increase in 2016 and again in 2017. That amounts to a 2% increase - about $38/year - in property taxes for the average household for the next 20 years.

3. What if construction costs go up?

The City is asking to borrow up to $49 million and if costs go up the project won’t proceed unless more funding is made available from other levels of government, grants or donors.

4. What capital projects, like roads and sidewalks, will be deferred as a result of the PAC? None. This project will be funded by federal government grants, gaming and parking revenues, donors and tax dollars outside of the City’s capital plan budget.

5. What will it cost to operate the PAC and how is it paid for?

Once it is built there are no additional costs to the taxpayer. The annual operating cost for the PAC is estimated to be no more than $900,000 which is covered by the 2% tax increase.

6. Who would run the Performing Arts Centre?

A not-for-profit society would operate the facility and report to the City. This is becoming the model of choice in municipalities across Canada. The society will be expected to operate the Performing Arts Centre as a business.

7. What will be the economic spinoff?

The economic spinoff is estimated at $11 million annually to the local economy due to new productions, ticket sales, increased tourism, new jobs and goods and services.

Cavers passionate in Ajax opposition

1370-B DALHOUSIE DRIVE

Donovan Cavers was threatened with censure by Mayor Peter Milobar this summer, but he doesn’t regret passionately opposing the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine.

ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

While a set of frustrated emails won’t be counted among his best decisions, Coun. Donovan Cavers said he doesn’t regret being passionate in his opposition to the Ajax mine.

Cavers was briefly threatened with censure by Mayor Peter Milobar this past August, after sending an email to some senior staff and councillors that criticized CAO David Trawin’s stock choices.

“Just nix the ‘extractive resource stocks’ for f*ck sakes!!!! #climatechange,” the letter concluded.

After Milobar responded suggesting censure as an option, Cavers apologized for the message, though only after sending out a second email including the phrase “f—k professionalism.”

Speaking to KTW, Cavers said he never expected to be formally censured for his emails, noting Coun. Arjun Singh was the only member of council pushing for the move.

“Councillor Singh obviously felt very strongly that I needed to be censured, but nobody else responded and said they felt the same way,” he said.

Cavers said the emails, which stemmed out of a conversation with Trawin and public works director Jen Fretz about a city-hired consultant charged with reviewing Ajax’s environmental application, were sent as he was going through some “personal relationship turmoil.”

But, he’s just as irked over the city’s handling of the controversial copper and gold mine, and the lack of opposition from some of his council colleagues.

“I get really frustrated at times when I feel like a lot of

THE CASE OF THE MISSING ASSETS More and more often, people take steps to reduce the fees and taxes on their estates by transferring assets, such as homes or bank accounts, to other people prior to death. This can also take the form of designating a benefi ciary on a RRSP, RRIF, or life insurance policy.

Unfortunately, these assets transfers often lead to confusion as to the ownership of these assets after the person dies.

Do they belong to the people to whom they were transferred?

Or do they still belong to the deceased person’s estate?

people are just sitting on their hands — and then when I get really passionate it’s my integrity that seems to get questioned rather than the public questioning the people whose general way of doing things is just to try and avoid conflict and hope for the best,” he said.

Four of nine counci members — Cavers, Tina Lange, Denis Walsh and Dieter Dudy — are openly opposed to the mine. That’s up substantially from last term, when only Lange and Cavers were vocal in their opposition.

But, the majority of council has preferred to wait for Ajax’s studies on its environmental and societal impacts to become public before taking a

position.

Cavers said waiting is only eating up staff and council time, and doesn’t believe reviews of the mine’s application, including the city’s, will provide much helpful information.

“None of us are scientific experts and anyone who thinks any of us is going to get anything meaningful out of this like 18,000 page scientific document is kidding themselves,” he said.

“It’s not going to add anything meaningful to any understanding of a city councillor. We know where it’s going to be. We know it’s an open pit mine.”

If you are the benefi ciary of a will where assets have been transferred from the estate, you may be completely in the dark about these missing assets.

Fortunately, there are laws that may assist you in getting disclosure of that information, and ultimately in showing that the assets still belong to the estate.

At Fulton & Company LLP, we have extensive experience and insight with these issues. Let us protect your interests, and help you reach an effective and appropriate resolution.

Rain delays completion of bridge project Don’t expect to see traffic return to full volume on Overlanders Bridge today or tomorrow.

The planned re-opening of the bridge’s east lanes has been rained out after wet weather prevented the city’s contractor from laying down the last of the waterproofing membrane and paving still needed on the deck.

“We’re still hoping this will be done if not by the 31st, then by Monday,” said transportation co-ordinator Colleen Lepik.

However, more rain over the weekend could cause further delays.

Lepik said because the bridge deck must be completely dry for the membrane to be applied, work stalled when the rain started coming down.

About 25 per cent of the bridge deck still needed paving and waterproofing as of yesterday.

Lepik said contractor Innovative Civil Constructors is now attempting to mechanically dry the bridge deck and continue laying membrane during breaks in the rain.

“ICC is pushing as hard as they can,” she said.

The city had pledged to re-open the bridge with all four lanes by tomorrow and Lepik said it was on track to wrap a day early before the weather changed.

Waterproofing and paving the east side of the deck is the last component of the project left to do before the remaining lanes can open to vehicles.

Once that work is completed, workers will still have to remove scaffolding installed around the bridge and install compression seals in its deck joins, but that work will take place at night.

Health Minister Terry Lake said his ministry is aware of the situation.

At HIllside, Lake said, none of the staff was seriously injured and all patient-care protocols were followed.

Lake said the reality medical staff face is “when patients are under physical or mental stress, there is a risk for violent behaviour.”

He said the ministry is continuing to work with the BCNU and health authorities to improve safety.

They are also working to identify other facilities that require safety improvements.

noting “everybody hates it” and, as of KTW’s press time, the online petition had already gained almost 7,000 signatures.

Those against it, Dieno said, are largely indifferent.

While municipalities in the Peace River Regional District are on the same schedule, Creston is alone in the southeast region of the

In 2012, as a member of the Kamloops chamber, Dieno drafted a policy adopted locally to abolish the time change.

Though it was defeated by the provincial chamber, which wanted to remain in time with Washington state, the local chamber still supports the idea.

This time, however, Dieno is relying on B.C. residents, rather than businesses.

He said he talked to thousands of people,

don’t fix it,” he said.

“But, I can tell you it’s actually broken.”

Towns in the eastern corners of the province, such as Creston and many in the Peace River region, never change their clocks, but their schedules are more complicated than those jumping back and forth with the seasons.

They don’t operate on Daylight Saving Time and, complicating the matter, are with Alberta in the Mountain Time Zone — an hour ahead of the

province in syncing up with the Pacific Time Zone during summer months and Mountain Time Zone during winter months.

It means for eight months of the year, Creston’s 5,000 residents are in time with most of B.C. and its western neighbours like Nelson and Castlegar.

During the remaining months, Creston is in time with Alberta and its eastern neighbours, such as Cranbrook and Kimberley.

ob Dieno believes it’s time for a change — just not one that involves springing ahead or falling back.

The Kamloops business owner and past president of the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce is behind a petition gaining traction to cancel seasonal time change across the province, with the goal of handing over at least 10,000 signatures to the provincial government.

“So, stay on one time all year long,” Dieno told KTW. “You set your time and you set your clocks and that’s it.”

Most B.C. cities, including Kamloops, fall within the Pacific Time Zone, operate on Daylight Saving Time (DST) and will be winding back their clocks by one hour on Sunday at 2 a.m., when the biannual change occurs.

Dieno has been against adjusting time since his student days at Cariboo College, when he missed a final exam and would have failed a chemistry course had it not been for an empathetic professor who allowed him — and two other students — to take it at a later date, albeit with a penalty.

It left a sour taste in Dieno’s mouth, one that remains almost 25 years later.

basically confusing,” Creston’s mayor, Ron Toyota, told KTW. It means issues like missed doctors’ appointments and complicated work schedules for those commuting to surrounding communities.

The situation has some wanting change but many who don’t mind because it’s been that way a long time and, after all, they’re not the ones constantly changing the clocks.

“It’s not that we go back and forth,” Toyota said. “We don’t change.”

Beyond Dieno’s personal preference for increased daylight in the evenings — he would like to see B.C. permanently stay on Daylight Saving Time, though he’s open to conversation — he said the biggest impacts from meddling with time are tied to health and safety.

He cited various statistics, such as heart attacks spiking after the clocks spring ahead to increased traffic-related deaths, insomnia and health issues among seniors.

“Researchers looked at the Mondays following the time shift over a 23-year-period between 1983 and 2006 and found 3.6 more injuries on time shift days and a 68 per cent increase in lost work days,” states Dieno’s Chamber policy, citing a 2009 study by

the Journal of Applied Psychology.

ICBC issues reminders before each change of possible dangers associated with the switch, urging drivers, pedestrians and cyclists to take extra care and caution in the following weeks.

“There’s been lots of studies done by lots of different places all over the world,” Dieno said.

In an email statement to KTW, Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake called the petition “very interesting.

“Previous surveys indicate most British Columbians like DST but a health debate is always welcome,” he said.

While he agreed some studies show negative health outcomes due to changing the time, he noted advantages of remaining synchronized with other West Coast jurisdictions.

He said the province did consultations in 2007 before moving DST ahead by three weeks.

“While there are no plans I am aware of to discontinue DST, it’s great to have the discussion and see if public opinion has changed over the years.”

Those interested in signing the petition can go online to the Stop the Time Change Facebook page, where the petition is linked.

WHY DO WE CHANGE? Bob Dieno says most people think Daylight Saving Time is for farmers.

“The farmers are actually against it, completely against it,” he said. “That’s why Saskatchewan never changed.”

The tradition was born out of necessity and dates back to the First World War, when it was used as a method of energy conservation.

Clocks spring ahead one hour in the spring to provide more daylight into the evening, and fall back one hour in the fall.

In 2007, clocks were permanently moved forward three weeks early across North America as part of an energy-savings measure found in the U.S. Energy Policy Act. Fort Nelson turned its clock ahead for the last time in March, in aligning with the Peace region.

VIEWPOINT

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

Kamloops This Week is owned by Thompson River Publications Partnership Limited

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: The reaction from the Kamloops community and beyond to the remarkable news that a Salmon Arm couple has bucked 50-million-to-one odds and will soon give birth to identical triplets.

Since KTW first published the story, it has been picked up by media outlets across the country and has spurred people to act.

Our newsroom has received calls from those wishing to offer some money and, more specifically, meals and other help.

The couple will need all the aid it can get and it is heartening to see a community rally.

NOT: The City of Kamloops’ proposed plan to end free landfill days based on the fact many residents have been mixing in material that should not be going to the dump.

We think such a move will only add to illegal dumping in the remote areas of the city.

There was a time when the city would pick up larger items from homes during a spring clean-up. The city should think of resuming such a worthwhile service, rather than cancelling a similarly beneficial endeavour.

OUR

VIEW

HOT: Interest in the proposed performing-arts centre and parkade.

The contentious $91-million project has elicited passionate debate on the pro and con sides, resulting in countless letters to the editor and the creation of official “yes” and “no” sides.

The level of interest is evident in the number of votes who took advantage of the first of two advance polls on Wednesday.

The city counted more than 1,500 ballots, which is nearly three times the number of voters who cast ballots in the first advance poll of last year’s civic election.

A wacky week of stories

I

t was a wacky week of emails and texts sent in the dead of night, of Halloween costumes provoking a raging debate online and of yet more hyperbole tied to the battle over the proposed performing-arts centre.

The interesting aspect of all three stories is the public reaction.

The online community of Kamloops This Week is a robust one as it weighs in on myriad issues at kamloopsthisweek.com and on our increasingly popular Facebook page.

Moderating the missives is time-consuming and challenging and allows me to understand better why more and more news organizations — from Reuters to the Toronto Sun and many in-between — have eliminated public commenting and left that forum to social media.

Nevertheless, we at KTW continue to welcome comments online — and the above-mentioned stories have attracted an avalanche of opinion.

Surprising, at least to me, is the breadth of views on issues I assumed would prompt uniform opinion.

Take the story on page A3 of yesterday’s edition of KTW on the subject of Halloween costumes.

There are seasonal Halloween stores in Kamloops that sell all manner of holiday gear in the weeks leading up to Oct. 31.

Last weekend, a KTW reader sent us a message that accompanied a photo of a costume for

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS sale in those stores.

The costume was labelled Indian Princess, a design our reader found culturally appalling.

An instructor at Thompson Rivers University was of the same opinion and said as much in the article.

While we have a healthy number of readers joining the condemnation (and at least one criticizing this newspaper for even asking whether such costumes are offensive), there have been a surprising number of readers who say they are sick and tired of political correctness.

At the risk of being labelled racists, they defend such costumes, with one reader noting donning said outfits is an act of having fun and becoming somebody you cannot be 364 other days of the year.

Critics have called it “cultural appropriation.”

I’d say it is, at worst, a poor choice in having fun — and little more.

Then there is the Donovan Cavers controversy, in which

the most vocal council members’s texts and emails about the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine displayed passion and profanity.

Cavers got into some hot water and has apologized for some of what he said/typed and his view of all that has transpired is on page A5 of today’s paper.

But, the comments that accompanied the online story are illuminating.

While there are those who offer complete criticism, others have pointed out they appreciate his willingness to go where others fear to tread — even if Cavers may need to practise a bit more decorum in doing so.

As the performing-arts centre referendum approaches, the rhetoric amps up.

The PAC Not Yet group has sent tens of thousands of pamphlets to Kamloops homes, outlining why it believes the city’s proposal should be defeated at the polls.

Included in that pamphlet is the claim that Cascades Casino’s planned amphitheatre will compete with the arts centre for acts.

Um, no — no, it won’t, not at all.

The group has criticized the city’s business plan, which cites some sky-high economic-impact numbers that may or may not be realized.

Debating those numbers is fine, but adding to the mess by making such ludicrous claims does nothing to bolster one’s argument. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

AVOID TROUBLE AND MAKE A COSTUME

DO NOT ANNEX MINE Editor: I am concerned and opposed to the city extending the boundaries to take in New Gold’s New Afton mine west of Kamloops.

Even though there are federal and provincial plans and bonds in place for future mine closures, there will always be a mine-site pit and underground tunnels for ongoing site reclamation and public-safety issues to deal with.

Is the City of Kamloops prepared to take on this expensive, endless responsibility?

Dennis Vollans Kamloops

Editor: Re: KTW story of Oct. 29 (‘Are these costumes offensive?’): This story raises many issues for me.

I don’t think it’s the idea of an Indian princess that’s offensive, but the packaging of these costumes leaves a lot to be desired.

Halloween is supposed to be a fun evening for kids of all ages to dress up in whatever they want — be it an Indian princess, a Geisha, a Chinese person or the Middle Eastern Herodias and her seven veils.

These are all great costumes to be celebrated in fun.

They open the mind to knowledge and understanding of all cultures.

However, the commercial aspect of Halloween has morphed into the second biggest shopping season of the year, leaving businesses to compete for the almighty dollar.

The packaging has been designed to catch the eye.

Unfortunately for consumers, it’s become both offensive and disturbing.

The packaging is directed toward adults, like the picture in the Indian princess costume, but consumers are wanting the costumes for their eightyear-olds.

I honestly think if the packag-

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

ing was a picture of a little girl in an Indian princess costume, it would be much more palatable.

Having said that, I saw one the other day depicting a young girl in a mummy costume that had sexual undertones to it.

Seriously, why do they make it so ridiculous? It’s one of those things that irks me to the edge, but I choose to pick my battles — and this one doesn’t fit the bill.

The best policy is don’t buy a costume, make one. It’s much better and a lot more fun.

A LOVELY TRIBUTE TO A KIND GENTLEMAN Editor: Re: KTW reporter Dale Bass’s Oct. 6 story on the life and death of Joe Cooper of Valleyview (‘Remembering Joe Cooper’): We are writing to thank you for the beautifully written tribute to Joe, a very special, highly intelligent, well-read and kind gentleman.

We had the pleasure of being in Joe’s company a number of times and each visit was an educational experience in gardening, good food, wine, music, books and ideas for the enrichment of the city he loved.

You did many of his admirers a great favour by writing this lovely tribute and we just want you to know how much it was appreciated.

“It came to light because of Cavers’ ‘lack of sleep,’ apparently. Would it be a conflict of interest if a CAO had all their investments in green companies? I am sure some would have a problem with that as well.”

Kamloops couple to give hope to kids in Thailand ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Brian and Karen Shaben never had kids of their own.

But, by next week, they’ll have 24 to look after.

“That’s just the ironic part — how do you go from zero kids to 24?”

Brian said with a laugh.

The Kamloops couple, founders of World Wide Life Humanitarian Partnership Society — a non-profit that partners with organizations to enhance living conditions for at-risk individuals in underdeveloped countries — will move to Thailand next week, having retired from fulltime work in Canada to make careers of the humanitarian efforts they began in 2008.

They will start by partnering with Give Kids Hope Thailand, an organization that runs a children’s home in Mae Suai, Chiang Rai

Province, home to 24 girls at risk of becoming involved in the sex trade in Thailand.

The Shabens will operate the home while helping in the development of a new training centre that will emphasize vocational training and enhanced educational opportunities.

“It’s so rewarding for us,” Karen said.

“We think we’re going to help them and to bless them, but we’re actually the ones who get blessed — we really are.

“It’s amazing how wonderful these kids are and how creative they are and smart they are.

“The only difference between them and me is I was born here and I was given access to opportunities,” Karen said.

“Unless we do this, or people like us do this, they’re not given access to opportunity, especially some of the ones who

Brian and Karen Shaben are going all-in with humanitarian work as they prepare to move to Thailand from Kamloops. For more information on World Wide Life, go online to humanitarianpartner ship.com.

live in these northern, remote areas.”

For the Shabens, the decision to move overseas and make full-time work of their humanitarian efforts has been a long time in the making.

Since their first hands-on experience nearly 10 years ago, the couple found their attention increasingly

dominated by their work in Southeast Asia.

In October of 2014, they felt it their calling to move overseas and help — permanently.

“A lot of it came out of a bad situation I was in as a kid,” Brian said.

“I came from an abusive family background.

My father was kind of abusive to the kids, very stern kind of guy.

“That kind of left an impression on me.”

The couple never had kids of their own, in part because of Brian’s upbringing.

“Earlier on, when we first got married, I wasn’t really wanting children because of my past — I wasn’t sure what kind of father I would be,” the 56-year-old said.

“I didn’t want to bring a child into the world if there was even a slim chance that my upbringing would make me a bad father.”

Brian’s youth, coupled with a horrific motorcycle accident in 1979 that stopped his heart and left him dead for minutes, made him feel there was a larger

TRICK TREAT

purpose to his life.

Despite never having kids of his own, his humanitarian efforts showed he had a knack for working with children.

“Brian’s living proof that you have a choice,” Karen, 49, said.

“He chooses not to be a victim.

“He has chosen to deal with the past, to get on with life and to take his experiences and make a difference for other people.”

The nature of the Shabens’ work will no doubt evolve during

their time in Thailand.

Brian said the country’s elderly and other orphanages may need help.

Regardless of what they end up doing, Brian and Karen will be making life better for those around them, which is all that matters.

“Making an impact on someone’s life in a positive way, when things look so bleak in the present, and then watching them develop and watching them come out of this thing called life on a positive note, knowing that you had a big part in that, it’s an exceptional feeling,” Brian said.

“You can leave this planet one day knowing that you’ve made a difference in the world — all the money in the world can’t buy you that.”

City launches largest solar-energy project ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

When the West Highlands community centre opens to the public next year, Glen Cheetham hopes visitors will spend a few minutes looking at the roof.

By next spring, 96 solar panels will cover much of the space, providing more than 27,000 kilowatt hours of power each year — enough to power two average homes, with wattage left over.

“We’re hoping that will engage people in alternative, renewable energy first of all, and then get them thinking about how they use energy in their home and their workplace,” Cheetham said.

The project, which is being called the largest in Kamloops’ history, will cost $93,500.

The province is kicking in $30,855 of

the total through its Community Energy Leadership Program.

It’s the city’s second venture into solar power, though at a much grander scale.

A solar-panel project on the Singh Bowl washrooms in 2012 included only 12 panels.

Cheetham said the city chose West Highlands for its second venture for several reasons, including “shade factor” — the amount of time the panels will be blocked from the sun.

“If you’re surrounded by a forest with very limited solar exposure, it’s probably not going to have the same impact as, for example, West Highlands,” Cheetham said.

“It has a shade factor of only 0.97, so in other words, it’s only shady 0.03 per cent of the time. So, basically, it’s going to achieve it’s maximum ability because of how much sun is available.”

The power generated at the site will run the community centre, park lights and irrigation system. Additional electricity will be fed back to the grid, in exchange for credits from BC Hydro.

Power production is expected to generate about $3,000 a year in revenue.

Cheetham said he’s looking at ways the public will be able to interact with the array once it goes live, including real-time tracking of its energy output and the city’s greenhouse gas savings via smartphone.

The city could add a third solar array in the coming years. Cheetham said he’s studying the roof of the Canada Games Aquatic Centre, which is due for repairs, to see if it would be a good fit for more panels.

“We’ve got a lot of roof space up there and it’s got a very minimal shade factor, so that is one definitely have our eyes on right now,” he said.

rom an orphanage in May Pen, Jamaica, to the Kamloops Blazers — Jermaine Loewen’s journey was already incredible.

The story became even more remarkable at Sandman Centre on Wednesday night, when the towering forward, playing his 48th career game in his second WHL season, notched his first major-junior goal.

“Oh man, to get that monkey off my back, I was thinking about it for such a long time,” a nearly euphoric Loewen told reporters after the game, clinging tightly to the puck with which he scored.

“I’ve never had a better feeling than that in hockey.”

With the Blazers (4-8) already up 4-1 on the Prince George Cougars late in the second period, Loewen found rubber on his stick deep in the Cougars’ zone and did something he’s been told to do countless times since he first hopped over the boards in Arborg, Man., when he was 10 — shoot.

The celebration was on.

“I just remember touching the ice, then I went on one leg. I was just so happy,” said Loewen, who wants to follow in Graeme Townshend’s footsteps and become the second Jamaican-born player to lace them up in the NHL. “I finally got that goal.”

Loewen, 17, will look to make it a scoring streak tonight when the Lethbridge Hurricanes bring their eight-game winning streak to the Tournament Capital.

Lethbridge (10-2) followed a 4-3 shootout victory over the Royals in Victoria on Tuesday with a 5-2 triumph over the Giants in Vancouver on Wednesday.

“We’re on a roll and they’re on a roll,” said Blazers’ head coach Don Hay, whose charges have won three of their last four games. “It should be a good contest.

“They’re playing really well right now, to go into Victoria and Vancouver back to back and come up with wins.”

Loewen’s goal — and the exuberance that accompanied it — wrapped the second-period

Kamloops Blazers’ forward Jermaine Loewen, followed by smiling teammates, celebrates his first WHL goal at Sandman Centre on Wednesday. Lethbridge is in town tonight.

scoring in Kamloops’ 6-1 victory over Prince George on Wednesday.

As the Blazers left the ice to break for the second intermission, a brief “Jermaine! Jermaine!” chant echoed throughout Sandman Centre.

“I love it,” said Kamloops netminder Connor Ingram, who finished with 37 saves and seems to have found his game after a rocky start to the season. “I think that’s the loudest I’ve seen the rink. It’s something even I’ll remember for a long time.

“That’s what you play hockey for.”

Deven Sideroff, who recently returned to the lineup after a month-long fight with mononucleosis, scored the game’s final goal in the third period, but the drama was far from over.

Loewen, having picked up an assist earlier in the game, was on the verge of a Gordie Howe Hat-Trick — and did seemingly everything in his power to get it.

It was tough to tell if the Cougars were under Loewen’s skin or if he had the Cats hot under the collar. Either way, the pushing and shoving never escalated into a scrap.

“I just couldn’t quite get the fight. I really wanted to go,” Loewen said.

“The ref came in my way . . . and I thought the other guy [Cougars’ defenceman Josh Anderson] was being soft.

“He said, ‘Let’s go,’ and he was kind of skating backward.”

Loewen was assessed roughing and unsportsmanlike penalties at 17:55, effectively ending his night.

He jawed with Anderson and was escorted off the ice by officials, but returned in time to accept first star and the crowd’s adulation.

“It’s great to see him get rewarded,” Hay said.

“It’s been over a year. To get a goal and an assist and to be a pain in the butt to PG, it’s good for him and his confidence and the fans and our team.”

Stan and Tara Loewen adopted Jermaine when he was three, but were forced to endure an agonizing two-year wait before he could go home with them to Arborg.

“You’ve seen the children’s home that they live in,” Stan said. “No matter how good an orphanage is, it’s never a family.

“It’s hard knowing he’s growing up without you.”

After Wednesday’s game, another lengthy wait having finally ended, Loewen was asked who he plans to call first.

“Probably my parents,” he replied. “They helped me through everything. I’m so happy about it.”

Key stretch for WolfPack ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

It’s a little early in the season to be deeming matches as mustwins.

But, if the Thompson Rivers WolfPack hopes to improve on last season’s finish in men’s volleyball, the importance of the next few weekends should not be underestimated.

“We know this stretch with Calgary, Winnipeg and Brandon, it’s all teams that are going to be battling for various playoff spots,” WolfPack head coach Pat Hennelly told KTW. “I think we can say that they’re in the playoff mix. If we want to be ahead of last year, we’re going to have to get some wins in this stretch.”

The WolfPack takes on the Calgary Dinos (4-0) tonight and tomorrow. Both matches will be played at the Tournament Capital Centre.

Four matches into the 20152016 Canada West season, Thompson Rivers is sporting a 1-3 record, having lost two matches to the Alberta Golden Bears and one to the MacEwan Griffins.

A pair of losses against the Golden Bears was not an altogether unexpected start to the season. The Bears are the defending CIS national champions, having won their secondconsecutive title in 2014-2015, and are the heavy favourites to again represent Canada West at nationals as league champions.

The Bears were predicted to finish first by all 12 opposition clubs in a pre-season poll of the Canada West’s coaches.

But, more concerning is last weekend’s split against the Griffins. A team that finished with a 1-23 record in 2014-2015 and lost 10 players over the summer, MacEwan is expected to be one of the worst teams in the Canada West — the program finished 12th in the same coaches’ poll.

Still, the visiting Griffins took four of seven sets off the WolfPack last weekend, sweeping Saturday’s weekend finale.

“I don’t think that weekend went as well as planned,” Hennelly said. “We’re still trying to work out some things in our

program — I guess is the best way to put it — about how we’re going to serve and how we’re going to battle on defence.

“Unfortunately, once it started going bad, we didn’t seem to have an answer to turn it around. That’s kind of caught us a few times this year, the Calgary match [a 3-0 pre-season loss] was very similar.”

Inconsistency has been the story for the Pack throughout exhibition action and the first two weekends of the regular season. The club struggles when matches don’t go as planned.

Hennelly said he feels a sense of urgency in the lockerroom heading into the weekend against the Dinos. Calgary has yet to lose a match and was the only other team to garner a first-place vote in the preseason coaches poll (coaches were required to vote for a team other than their own).

If there’s any positive to draw on, it’s Calgary’s victories have come against the Brandon Bobcats and Winnipeg Wesmen, teams Thompson Rivers also expects to beat.

“Obviously wins are important,” Hennelly said.

self in the same situation as last year, when the Pack lost 11 of their first 16 matches and saw their playoff hopes on life support before Christmas.

“The message to the guys is we want to have things in place before we get into the postseason,” he said.

“I think last year, we spent all the time just battling through weekends and not really focusing on the quality of volleyball and the systems and basing things on what we believed in.”

Winning women

The WolfPack women’s volleyball team will be looking to build on a two-match winning streak this weekend, also in action against the Dinos at the Tournament Capital Centre.

At 2-2, Thompson Rivers is currently ranked below Calgary (3-1), but both clubs are expected to be playoff-calibre teams in 2015-2016.

WolfPack outside hitter Iuliia Pakhomenko enters the weekend as the Canada West’s leader in kills-per-set, averaging 4.79.

She is also second in the league in total kills, with 67.

Noah’s night MIKE FITZPATRICK

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The man-child on the mound was simply getting some work in, two simulated innings to keep sharp for the World Series.

It was late afternoon at Kauffman Stadium, dimmed by dark clouds on this overcast day in Kansas City, and even his New York Mets teammates wanted no part of 6-foot-6 Noah Syndergaard.

David Wright bounded into the batting cage, watched a few fastballs whizz by like pellets fired from a BB gun, and stepped right back out.

“How are you supposed to hit that?’’ he asked buddy Michael Cuddyer.

A chuckling group of Mets marveled at Syndergaard’s sizzling cheese the day before the Series opener — but now they’ve placed the heat squarely on their rookie starter.

With the National League champs trailing 2-0 in the best-of-seven set, the 23-year-old thunderbolt aptly nicknamed Thor pitches tonight against Royals right-hander Yordano Ventura.

And the Mets know perfectly well they can’t afford to lose.

“It’s nice to have Noah going,’’ second baseman Daniel Murphy said after a 7-1 defeat in Game 2. “We’ll get back to New York and I know the guys will be excited.’’

The first World Series game at Citi

A17

Field features two of the hardest throwers in baseball.

Syndergaard’s fastball averaged 97.1 mph during the regular season, the highest velocity of any major leaguer who pitched at least 150 innings, according to STATS. The 24-year-old Ventura ranked third at 96.3 mph.

In the NL playoffs, Syndergaard threw 22 pitches at least 100 mph and topped out at 101, STATS said.

Ventura can touch the century mark, too.

But while Syndergaard certainly brings it, so do Mets aces Matt Harvey and Jacob deGrom. And despite their 95-98 mph fastballs, neither one was able to throttle a Royals lineup that’s mastered the lost art of consistently making solid contact.

“This team likes the fastball,’’ said ALCS MVP Alcides Escobar, the aggressive leadoff man who is batting .364 with 12 runs, eight RBIs and seven extra-base hits this post-season.

Alex Gordon proved that premise with a tying homer in the ninth inning of Game 1 on a 97 mph quickpitch from New York closer Jeurys Familia.

“We’re always ready for the fastball,’’ Gordon explained.

“Never miss a fastball and adjust to offspeed.’’

Scolded by Wright

in spring training for eating lunch in the clubhouse during an intrasquad game, Syndergaard acknowledged a rookie mistake and agreed he should have been on the bench looking to learn something. And despite all the attention his heater draws, the rapid development of Syndergaard’s secondary pitches has been the key to his immediate success.

After making his major league debut in May, he picked up a two-seamer that runs to his arm side and fine-tuned his changeup. He gained control of his sharp slider without losing the ability to bend in that slower curveball.

All those improvements helped the right-hander finish 9-7 with a 3.24 ERA and 166 strikeouts in 150 innings — not to mention a long home run to straightaway centre field.

Then he went 1-1 with a 2.77 ERA in three NL playoff games, including his first career relief appearance.

Powerful arm, swift progression.

“He’s a very fast learner,’’ Mets manager Terry Collins said. “He has no fear.’’

With long, golden locks flowing out from beneath his baseball cap, 11 letters to that unusual last name arched around his shoulders on the back of a Mets jersey, Syndergaard resembles some sort of Viking pitcher sent from the ancient past.

Questions, not answers, surround Anthopoulos’ departure NEIL DAVIDSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

The same day he was named Major League Baseball’s executive of the year, Alex Anthopoulos found himself trying to explain why he was facing unemployment.

In a surprising turn of events, the Toronto Blue Jays parted ways with their chief architect yesterday — less than a week after coming within one inning of forcing Game 7 in the American League Championship Series.

“I just didn’t feel like this was the right fit for me going forward,’’ Anthopoulos told reporters in a conference call yesteday.

“Not an easy [decision].

Obviously everyone knows how I feel about the organization, the city, the country.”

It was a classy if confusing exit.

Despite repeated questions, Anthopoulos did not elaborate on why he is leaving, other than to say he wanted to be true to himself and that the impasse was not due to a financial disagreement.

The GM’s departure comes during a changeover in Jays management with Mark Shapiro, the former Cleveland Indians president, taking over from the departing Paul Beeston as president and CEO.

“This decision is solely mine.

Mark gave me every opportunity to return. He was sincere in wanting me back . . . [Team owner] Rogers and Mark were more than generous, I mean extremely generous,’’ Anthopoulos said.

The Montreal native left more questions than answers. He said he wanted to be back and that ownership and his new boss wanted him to stay. But clearly the team’s new landscape was not one he could live with.

He declined to say why it was not a good fit. But, he went out of his way to praise Shapiro and Rogers, stressing the baseball team is in good hands.

“I know this is not an easy day for anybody . . . I don’t think any of us wanted this to happen.’’

Anthopoulos, 38, turned down a five-year contract extension, amid speculation of a difference in vision with Shapiro who does not officially take up his new job until Monday.

Unlike Beeston, Shapiro is a president immersed in the baseball side — and one who clearly has his own views on how to run a club.

Shapiro and Anthopoulos don’t appear to be on the same page, although Anthopoulos rejected the suggestion of a power struggle.

Anthopoulos said he did

not have another job lined up, although he said his phone “exploded’’ yesterday, once news of his pending departure broke.

He said he would take time to “recalibrate’’ and evaluate his options.

Anthopoulos was named Sporting News’ 2015 Major League Baseball Executive of the Year, as selected by a panel of 47 majorleague executives in voting prior to the post-season.

The Jays went 489-483 under Anthopoulos, according to Sportsnet stats, but soared this year.

The GM earned kudos for a string of moves that produced a thrilling 93-69 campaign and a return to the playoffs after 22 years.

Fans across the country followed the Jays’ wild post-season run and yesteday’s divorce was unexpected in the wake of team’s success.

The 2015 championship run came at a price. Toronto gave up some of its top prospects, as it did in trades in previous years with the Mets and Marlins.

But, nobody complained as playoff baseball returned to Toronto.

In other Jays’ news yesterday, Martin, pitcher Mark Buehrle and centre-fielder Kevin Pillar were named 2015 Gold Glove Award finalists.

Mets bats slumping in Series David Wright lifted a foul popup, paused and turned back toward the dugout. He didn’t bother to watch Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer make the catch.

Yet another easy out by the New York Mets.

This is definitely not how banged-up Yoenis Cespedes, Daniel Murphy and Wright imagined their first World Series.

No launches into the seats. No lasers to the gaps. No liners into the corners.

“Yeah, we’re not hitting,’’ manager Terry Collins said Wednesday night after a 7-1 loss to Kansas City dropped them into an 0-2 deficit.

“That’s what I see.’’

Maybe it was the five-day layoff after they swept the Cubs in the NL Championship Series (NLCS). Or perhaps it’s the Royals pitchers, with even soft-tossing Chris Young looking like Cy Young.

Somehow, somewhere after leaving Wrigley Field, the Mets’ bats have turned to mush.

“We’ve stressed it enough. When we play good, our lineup produces throughout,’’ Collins said. “It just shows you right now with us not hitting how big Dan Murphy really was in the NLCS with the home runs.’’

The Mets stayed stuck in their collective slump in Game 2 when Lucas Duda’s two soft singles were their only hits off Johnny Cueto.

The drought began when Game 1 went to extra innings — they were held to a bunt single after that point, losing 5-4 in the 14th.

Overall, they’re batting .165 (13 for 79) with 19 strikeouts. Their lone extra-base hit is Curtis Granderson’s home run.

“We’ve got to pick it up offensively,’’ Collins said. “We’ve got to do a better job of using the field to hit. And we’ve done it. We certainly have done it. We’ve got to do it again.’’

“We can’t think about the hole that we’re in. We just have to concentrate on one at a time,’’ Wright said. “It will be nice to get to our park, you know, our house.’’

The All Blacks perform the now-legendary haka before a match against France in 2006. New Zealand went on to win the match, 23-11. The nation will face Australia in tomorrow’s World Cup final.

Australia won’t be intimidated in World Cup finale STEVE DOUGLAS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TEDDINGTON, England — Michael Cheika threw himself back in his chair, clutched his heart in mock-pain, grabbed his throat with both hands, and shouted, “Poltergeist!’’

Seconds earlier, the Australia coach had said two words he thought he’d never utter.

“All Blacks.’’

Cheika was thought to be playing mind games in the leadup to tomorrow’s Rugby World Cup final by never referring to New Zealand as the All Blacks, their famous and — to some — intimidating nickname.

But, he said he never has called them that — until being prompted by a journalist in a news conference on yesterday.

“Can I say All Blacks now?’’ he repeated to the questioner, before his theatrical reaction.

“If you notice, I never call Australia the Wallabies, either,’’ Cheika added, composing himself. “I’m really a bit oldfashioned in that way. I think Australia is Australia and New Zealand is New Zealand, and France is France and it’s a battle between nations on that stage.

“There’s no secret squirrel.’’

And, as for him and his team being intimidated by the All Blacks, Cheika was clear.

“I’ve played in teams that have been lower on the table and maybe haven’t been expected to beat bigger teams,’’ he said. “But, I’ve never felt worried about it.

It’s just, you go out there and you do your best and you see what happens.’’

Cheika was in good form two days out from the final at Twickenham. He has been trying to keep things low key before tomorrow — “he’s making it the calm before the storm,’’ Wallabies prop Scott Sio said — even though it is the biggest game of his life, as a coach or a player.

The Australia camp has been like that all tournament, and that calmness has transferred

to the field. There was no panic among the Wallabies when they went behind with five minutes left against Scotland in their quarterfinal or when defending with 13 men for a spell against Wales in the pool stage. Or, when Argentina was piling on the pressure in the second half of the semifinal.

Former Australia coach Bob Dwyer has even called the current Wallabies the best defensive team ever, which Cheika played down. Australia has conceded five tries this tournament, three of them sloppy ones against Scotland.

“I’m not in for the big sweeping statements — I’m a big

believer that your next game is the one that proves who you are,’’ Cheika said. “The minute you start relying on cliches or tags or titles, you’ll get pinched. It’s happened too many times.’’

Cheika has, though, underscored the importance of defence tomorrow.

“Putting your bodies on the line for each other in the games and working hard for each other and doing a lot of the stuff that we know on Saturday is going to be absolutely essential, the stuff people won’t even see,’’ he said. “The stuff that maybe we don’t need a lot talent to do and just doing that with unlimited energy.’’

Birthdays are a time for celebration Not a time for tears But to us it feels like only three minutes Not a whole three years

Not just on your birthday But all year through Many times in a day We both think of you

The sadness that we feel On such a joyous day Comes from all our hopes and dreams That were cruely torn away

We wonder who you would be today We wonder what you would see We carry you in our hearts For all eternity

Oh our little angel, our sweet baby girl Three years later the pain is so fresh We love you more than words can say Explaining why were still such a mess

With tearful eyes we watched As you faded away We live with the pain of that memory Every moment of every day

Wishing you were here today For even, just a while So we could say happy birthday And for the first time, see you smile

We’ll hold you close within our hearts And there you will remain To walk with us throughout this life Until we meet again

We never had the chance to play To laugh with you and watch you wiggle We long to hold on to you, cradle you And listen to you giggle

We love you with all of our being And even though we are apart Know that you will always be In mommy and daddy’s heart

Love Mom and Dad xoxo

George passed away peacefully from lung cancer at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home. George was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, on September 11, 1931. In 1932 his parents decided to move to B.C., his dad made his vehicle (Gray Dork) into a truck to carry their belongings, however the truck broke down at Rock Creek, B.C. They finally made it to Aldergrove in 1934, where his mother’s parents lived at the time. The next move in 1934 was to Princeton, (five-mile area) where his dad managed a Fox farm, this being their first real home.

George went to school and was involved in sports. He liked ski jumping, hockey, golf and playing ball. He was a well known pitcher in Kamloops and supported hockey since 1952. George was a season ticket holder from the start, George and Ruth were married in 1952. Bruce and Beverly were raised at Tranquille taking the bus to school and hanging out with their friends. Fishing, hunting, camping, and playing cards were all enjoyed with many friends. His accordion is silent, but many enjoyed his musical talent and he loved playing, especially if it encouraged dancing.

Thank you for the cards, flowers and help from family and friends during his illness. You will not be forgotten.

THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES DEAR. There is no service by request.

Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

A: Frankly, the cremation process uses a lot of fuel. There’s concern over emissions from the mercury in teeth and from breast implants.

Some funeral homes use OSB when building their cremation containers.

That produces a chemical reaction when burned.

Probably the greenest thing would be to wrap the body in cotton and bury it. But there are laws against that, too!

TO ALL PARENTS ... By Edgar Guest “I’ll lend you for a little time A child of Mine” He said, “For you to love while he lives, And mourn when he is dead.

It may be six or seven years, Or twenty-two or three, But will you, till I call him back Take care of him for Me? He’ll bring his charms to gladden you, And should his stay be brief, You’ll have his lovely memories As solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay Since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.

I’ve looked the wide world over In my search for teachers true, And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes I have selected you.

Now will you give him all your love, Nor think the labour vain, Not hate Me when I come To call and take him back again?

I fancied that I heard them say Dear Lord, Thy will be done.

For all the joy this child shall bring, The risk of grief we’ll run.

We’ll shelter him with tenderness.

We’ll love him while we may, And for the happiness we’ve known Forever grateful stay.

And should the angels call for him Much sooner than we’d planned, We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes And try to understand.

FAITH

When no one listens, God is still working

A

missionary from Sweden felt called to go to a remote area of southern Africa.

He took his young family with him and laboured there for many years, trying to start a viable church.

But, no one listened.

He was only able to convince one young man to convert.

His wife then died of a very unpleasant tropical disease.

In frustration, and convinced all his labours had been in vain, he returned to Sweden.

He remained bitter for the rest of his life and died thinking God had been truly unfair to him.

After his death, his now-grown daughter decided to visit the place where she had spent some of her younger years.

To her great surprise, the entire area was Christian, with sev-

eral active and vibrant churches.

“How did this happen?” she asked.

It turned out the young man who was the Swedish missionary’s only successful convert became a very effective missionary himself.

He started with his own family, then the village, then the neighbouring villages, until the entire district was won for Christ.

faithful to their calling.

This story reminds me of Jeremiah, one of the Old Testament prophets.

He was not a happy camper.

He was tasked with proclaiming doom to the nation of Israel and did so for 40 years.

In fact, we now have a word in our language, jeremiad, which means a prediction of calamity and destruction, based on his name.

Nobody listened to him and, furthermore, he was repeatedly mistreated, beaten, put into stocks and left in the bottom of a well to starve to death (someone rescued him, though).

He complained to God that everyone ignored him, made a mockery of him and that the burden of his prophetic task to too onerous to bear.

job of prophet, God said, “You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with and will rescue you.”

God equips those he calls.

Ezekiel was another prophet called by God to warn the people of impending destruction.

God likened Ezekiel’s role to that of a watchman on a wall whose duty it was to alert the people to approaching danger.

If the watchman failed in his job, not only would the people die, but he would be held accountable.

But, if he called out the warning, and the people ignored it, he would be personally saved.

I think this applies to every Christian today.

We are the watchmen on the wall.

Excuse me?

So, I did, but, again, the irony of the situation got inside my head.

Later, a native business owner invited me to his church (Quesnel Baptist Church) and I answered an altar call from Pastor Gary Landers.

That homeless Christian probably thinks no one ever listened to him and has no idea his feeble effort made such an impact on me becoming a born-again Christian.

our story.

My story isn’t very dramatic.

I was raised in a Christian family but. after leaving home, didn’t practise any religion.

I found work as an employment counsellor in a native friendship centre.

One day, a homeless young man sat down in my office and, with his head hanging low, mumbled, “I’ve come to tell you about the Lord.”

Excuse me?

He was the sorriest excuse for an evangelist I ever met and I told him so (nicely).

He had recently been beaten up by some good ol’ boys when he tried the same line on them.

But, the irony of a non-practising Christian advising someone on how to proselytize better nagged at me.

It is our duty, therefore, to do our best to warn our friends and neighbours and show them the path to salvation.

If we fail to do so, we may well be held accountable.

Christianity is not a private faith. It did not get to be the most prevalent religion in the world because people kept it to themselves.

Jesus’ last words on this earth were to “go into all the world and preach the gospel.”

This is known as The Great Commission and is not just for preachers and evangelists, but all believers.

One last chance to join church-led fish run Plura Hills United Church is once again challenging the community to donate extra cans of salmon and tuna to the Kamloops Food Bank.

And, there are two days left to take part.

The Adams River salmon run was smaller than expected, but the church is keeping its seafood theme for October.

The food drive is undertaken each year because salmon and tuna are brain food.

Kids are back in school and need the extra protein.

Fish is also the sign of Christianity.

Other churches are urged to join the cause.

Plura Hills members pick up donations, which can also be dropped off at the church at 2090 Pacific Way. Previous years have seen more than 1,000 tins of salmon and tuna donated to the food bank.

The fish run ends tomorrow.

CMHC: Eleven housing markets overvalued ALEXANDRA POSADZKI

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A growing number of Canadian housing markets are overvalued, either because the cost of buying a home has ballooned or underlying economic conditions don’t support current prices, according to a new report from the federal housing agency.

In its latest housing market assessment report released yesterday, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. has identified 11 markets where it has found evidence of overvaluation.

That’s up from the eight mar-

kets the federal agency deemed as being overvalued in its last quarterly report in August.

In some markets, notably Toronto and Vancouver, overvaluation reflects the fact that home prices have been climbing rapidly, said CMHC chief economist Bob Dugan.

In others, like the oil-price dependent markets of Regina, Saskatoon and Calgary, it’s because underlying economic and demographic factors needed to sustain current home prices — such as personal disposable incomes, mortgage rates and population growth — have deteriorated.

“In places like Regina, we

still detect overvaluation in that centre, but we’ve actually seen buyers’ market conditions . . . and some softening of prices,’’ Dugan said during a conference call.

CMHC’s housing market assessment report aims to serve as an early warning signal by identifying problematic conditions that, if left unchecked, could lead to a correction in home prices later on down the road.

The agency uses four factors to identify the level of risk present in Canadian real estate nationally and in 15 markets: accelerating price growth, overvaluation of prices, overbuild-

ing and overheating of demand, which occurs when demand significantly outstrips supply.

CMHC said it has found strong evidence of problematic conditions in Toronto, Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Regina.

All four of those markets show signs of overvaluation, according to the agency, and in Toronto, price acceleration is also present.

Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Regina show signs of overbuilding, which occurs when the supply of homes outpaces demand, in addition to being overvalued.

Saskatoon was not identi-

fied as problematic in CMHC’s previous assessment, but was added to the list this time as signs of overvaluation emerged.

Vancouver, one of the country’s priciest real estate markets, has not been listed among the high-risk markets, although CMHC said it is now detecting ``moderate’’ evidence of overvaluation.

The agency said it is also keeping a close eye on condo developments in Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa.

CMHC said there are signs that developers in those markets may be building more units than people are willing to buy.

Former Toronto mayor Rob Ford in second cancer fight TORONTO — The cancer that ended former Toronto mayor Rob Ford’s hopes of continuing in the job appears to have returned.

Ford said yesterday a tumour on his bladder that had been causing him considerable pain has been confirmed to be cancerous.

Audibly choking back tears, the 46-year-old said he was determined to overcome this second

round of cancer and would begin chemotherapy treatments next week.

“All I can do is fight, and I will,’’ Ford said outside a Toronto hospital. “I’ll fight and I won’t stop fighting until the day I die.’’

The diagnosis and treatment are a grim repetition of what took place just over a year ago as the controversial Ford, nearing the end

of a tumultuous term as Toronto’s mayor, sought another four years at city hall.

Doctors then diagnosed him with a rare kind of cancer, prompting Ford to withdraw from the race and allow his brother Doug to run in his stead.

Doug Ford lost to John Tory, Toronto’s current mayor.

Ford underwent chemotherapy treatments

to shrink that tumour, had surgery in May to have it removed, and just last month declared himself to be cancerfree.

As a result, Ford said he and his family were blindsided by the diagnosis.

“I think this one’s a little bit more hard than the second one,’’ he said. “We saw light at the end of the tunnel.

“I was ready for the

fight, I came out swinging and we did very well. This time around,

it totally caught me off guard.’’

Ford said the latest

round of symptoms consisted mainly of severe abdominal pain,

Call to disband death panels TWO ADVOCACY GROUPS WANT GRIT GOVERNMENT TO ACT KRISTY KIRKUP

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — A three-member federal panel on assisted death created under the Conservative government should be disbanded, two advocacy groups argue.

Dying with Dignity Canada and the B.C. Civil Liberties Association put forward a blueprint with recommendations for leadership on physician-assisted death yesterday, including a call for the panel to halt its work.

“It is necessary for a number of reasons,’’ said Wanda Morris, CEO of Dying with Dignity.

“It could have been a worthwhile exercise to have a federal panel to look at this, but the panel that was appointed was three members — two of them have been openly opposed to assisted dying, so much so that they were actually witnesses for the Crown against legalization.’’

The groups are also encour-

aging the incoming Liberal government to collaborate with a provincial-territorial advisory group also examining the issue.

“They’ve created a really stellar panel of experts . . .

They haven’t just gone one way,’’ Morris said.

“They’re really wrestling with the nuts and bolts in a way that just blows out of the water anything that the federal panel has done.’’

Last February, the Supreme Court of Canada recognized the right of clearly consenting adults who endure intolerable physical or mental suffering to end their lives with a physician’s help.

The court gave Parliament one year to come up with a set of laws to govern assisted suicide, though former justice minister Peter MacKay mused in June that the government — Conservative or otherwise — would require more time to address the decision.

In the summer, the federal government appointed the three-member panel.

It has defended its independence and has conducted research tours in Europe and Portland, Ore. Meanwhile, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada have also released a declaration on euthanasia and assisted suicide.

The statement, endorsed

by Jewish and Muslim leaders, advocates for palliative care and urges the federal, provincial and territorial governments to “enact and uphold laws that enhance human solidarity.’’

The group held a news conference yesterday on Parliament Hill.

“I personally would not be in favour of allowing any deaths, but given the fact that we live in a democratic society and laws are made to deal with extreme situations, then I would say we would have to respect the ones that are as limiting as possible,’’ said Terrence Prendergast, the archbishop of Ottawa.

he Ropes has many meanings for Daniel McBurnie.

There’s imagery, for one — a physical rope metaphorically tying you to something — but it mostly means being shown how to live.

“Show me the ropes is like show me the ropes of life,” McBurnie told KTW in a phone interview from his home in Vancouver.

The 22-year-old vocalist and guitarist of the Vancouver folk-rock sextet Good For Grapes said the idea for the title of the band’s second album — and 10th track on that record — just came to him.

“The whole concept is everyone is constantly trying to show you the ropes,” he said.

“Whether they’re a parental figure, somebody you’ve met.”

When asked of his own influences, he said everyone in his life has affected him in some way.

It was a chance opportunity at a new high school, for example, that first introduced him to his bandmates.

He was in Grade 11 when an older student from the studentrun theatre program recruited him for the spoof production A Very Potter Musical, having learned McBurnie could sing and play guitar.

ON STAGE WHO: Good For Grapes, sample the music online at kamloopsthisweek.com and find the band’s newest album, The Ropes, on Spotify WHEN: Tuesday, Nov. 10, doors open at 8 p.m.

WHERE: The Blue Grotto, 319 Victoria St. TICKETS: $12 plus service charges in advance from ticketweb.ca

“I actually played Harry Potter,” McBurnie said. “Which was weird because I didn’t know anyone.

“I didn’t try out.”

Though many have played a part in showing him the ropes, at some point, McBurnie said, life is about figuring things out on your own.

He did just that on a ferry ride to Victoria back in 2010, where he and friends playing music to pass the time caught the attention of about 50 passengers who thought the youngsters were the live entertainment for

their trip across the water.

“We just started pulling stuff out of our ass and people started gathering around,” McBurnie said. “Someone had mentioned there was a band that the ferry had hired — we weren’t that band.”

Their band’s name emerged that day in an equally unlikely manner, when Graham Gomez (guitarist/ vocalist) asked Alexa Unwin (pianist/vocalist) aboard that same ferry if she wanted grapes, to which she replied “I’m good for

grapes” and, thus, the name was created.

“We kind of laughed about it,” McBurnie said.

The band released its second album, The Ropes, on Oct. 2, which was funded by their win last year of the Peak Performance Project. Kamloops band Van Damsel, as of KTW’s press time, is currently a finalist in this year’s competition.

“It funded our entire record,” McBurnie said. “It’s doing amazing things.”

The group is also using that money to make a couple of

music videos, which are near completion — Waiting on a Ghost was shot in Las Vegas and Show Me the Ropes was shot around Capilano and at McBurnie’s house — and while on tour promoting their new album.

That tour will bring them to Kamloops for a 19-plus show on Nov. 10 at The Blue Grotto.

The show comes on the heels of a recent Kamloops performance during Brewloops, in which they played in the parking lot of Red Beard Roasters on a semi-truck trailer.

“It was definitely a memorable experience,” McBurnie said.

“We are all big beer nuts.”

McBurnie is excited to have released new songs since that show, with a “whole new set lined up.”

“It’s our first completely new show in three years,” he said.

The tour kicks off in Revelstoke on Oct. 30 before landing in Kamloops and then travelling throughout Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario.

It’s been a busy run for McBurnie, one that won’t round out until at least December, when the tour concludes in Kelowna.

And, what’s next?

“I’m going to Mexico.”

MUSIC RUNS IN THE FAMILY FOR THE PETRICS DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

J

ason Petric’s looking forward to his next trip out on the road — it’s time for brother Tom’s vehicle to be their transportation as the brothers literally take their act on the road.

Such is the life when you’re young, just starting out and, despite having the big-name power of Dallas Smith behind you, knowing you’re still just a couple of guys from Winnipeg who have the songs, the music, the voices but don’t have the recognition yet.

Hence the arrival of the brothers Petric — who perform under their surname alone — in the KTW newsroom between stops at radio stations in the area.

Yes, they were hearing a lot of the same questions.

No, giving the same answers again and again isn’t getting old for them.

“Now, ask them in five years and I might wonder about it,” Jason said. “But we’re just starting out.”

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Winnipeg brothers Tom (left) and Jason Petric brought out their guitars during a visit to Kamloops This Week.

The pair was signed to Smith’s record label last year, thanks to a somewhat orchestrated but presented as chance encounter with the singer. They were headed to the Canadian Country Music Awards in Edmonton and their PR representative, Anya Wilson — who happens to also represent Smith — mentioned to them they might encounter the former Default singer — and to keep their eyes open and be patient.

It’s likely she gave some other direction to Smith because the three met up, jammed a bit and, before they knew it, Petric was the first band signed to the new Steelhead Music label.

Smith echoed Wilson in his advice to the two — be patient, something Jason acknowledges doesn’t mean do nothing. In fact, they’re working hard all the time but know that, in staying busy building their career they have to be patient and

let it all flow out.

Their mother helps; she does their bookings, arranges their itineraries, makes sure rental cars are actually rented, the kind of details that, if overlooked, make it difficult to get their music known.

As Tom put it, “she’s mom. She takes care of her boys.”

Their love of music comes from their parents, Tom said and, going back another generation, the visits to their grandmother’s house, where treasures like their uncle’s drum kit were to be found in the basement. Add in a few amps and the guitars they were learning to play and Jason started to envision himself as a rock star. Tom’s future view wasn’t quite that strong but, before they knew it, they were making music together when Jason wasn’t on the road playing backup for other bands.

They perform their own songs; Tom credited Jason for the writing while Jason said Tom is the one with the ear for melody. He’s also the main singer.

They’re travelling with proof of their talent beyond the Gibson and Martin guitars they pack. It Girl was recently released. The first single from it, Here Goes Everything, was released in May and got airplay quickly.

As expected, that reality led to some cool moments.

Their grandparents were in Halifax and heard the song come over the radio.

“They just lost it,” Tom said.

The brothers had a similar moment — times three — when they were on the road north of Regina, an area with three strong country radio stations.

There it was, Here Goes Everything, playing on the car radio. Flip to another station, there’s the song again.

Hit the third station and it was deja vu all over again, a moment the brothers still laugh at but deeply cherish.

The CD has already had some positive reviews including one that said the only thing wrong with it is, at just six tracks, the reviewer was left wishing

there was even more to listen to.

Petric played Kamloops once before, opening for Smith on his Tippin’ tour.

The brothers remember the gig for more than just the music.

“We killed a day in Kamloops and spent it playing poker in the van,” Jason said. They learned Smith is also a good poker player.

With a record label, a PR company and, most recently, a booking agent, the Petrics are hoping to start seeing some dates lined up for shows next year. Until then, it’s life on the road, filling in as openers (they’ve already done so for Doc Walker, Brett Kissell and Aaron Pritchett, as well as Smith), occasionally heading home to check in with the family, flying to Nashville to write and then getting out to promote their album.

“We know there are a lot of kilometres ahead of us,” Jason said.

“But we work well together and we’re having a lot of fun.”

Tapas, for the kids CHEFS IN THE CITY SUPPORTS ROTARY PROGRAMS JESSICA KLYMCHUK

STAFF REPORTER

jklymchuk@kamloopsthisweek.com

At Chefs in the City, the focus is food — for the evening and for some of the initiatives it helps fund.

Happening Monday, the event is the Rotary Club of Kamloops’ largest fundraiser of the year and supports its primary goal of helping underprivileged youth in the city, through many programs.

Part of that goal has been reducing child hunger in Kamloops and includes the bi-weekly Rotary family dinners held at NorKam secondary.

“The idea was to provide a safe place for kids and families to come and get fed,” said Geoff Collier, chair of the Chefs in the City committee.

Though there is a place every night of the week for people in need to go for dinner, those places aren’t always suited for

w

children, he said.

Of the 150 people who show up every other week for Rotary’s dinners, a large majority are children.

“It’s just been so well received. The kids look forward to it, the families look forward to it,” Collier said.

“They come because it’s a good place for them to come and they feel happy and safe there.”

The program has been running for three years, with support from the Kamloops-Thompson school board.

Profits from Chefs in the City also help support the Kamloops Food Bank, particularly during the food drive, Collier said.

“Rotary has great causes for food-related charities, which are all causes the food business loves to support,” chef Brody White said.

He will be participating in Chefs in the City for the third year — his second as owner of Chop N Block.

White won the people’s choice award last year and hopes to please again on Monday.

The first time he took part in the event he was working as an instructor for TRU’s culinary arts program, to which the event proceeds also lend a hand. Another portion of the funds raised go toward bursaries for culinary arts students.

“That’s one of the top reasons why I do it,” White said. “I was a student at culinary arts and I received some bursaries . . . they were very helpful at that point in time in my experience. I have a very strong connection to that program.”

Twenty restaurants and 10 wineries will serve up their best at the tapas-style event with live music at TRU’s Campus Activity Centre.

Tickets are $65, available online at chefsinthecity.ca or by calling 250-572-4881.

NORTH SHORE NEWS

Fall is here and the North Shore is shining bright

A

utumn is one of my favourite times of the year, but can you believe October is almost over?

I saw a Facebook post the other day that said it was only 58 days until Christmas.

It seems like just yesterday we were enjoying a great North Shore summer and basking in the heat.

This weekend, we’re turning our clocks to fall back and the days are going to start getting shorter and shorter.

For our North Shore businesses, this fall is one of watching Overlanders

Bridge come closer and closer to being finished.

It’s been a hard four years of traffic disruptions and lost business that started with a semitrailer’s load striking the Tranquille Road overpass at the north end of the bridge, followed

by construction on Tranquille going past its completion date by months.

And, now, the bridge repairs.

There have been serious losses and some closed doors, but it could have been much worse.

Thank you for supporting your North Shore businesses.

We are excited to get past this and see even greater business growth once the bridge work is done.

Tomorrow is Halloween and that means Treat Street on the North Shore.

North Shore businesses are getting out the trick-or-treat candy for some Halloween fun.

Ghosts, goblins,

superheroes, princesses and pirates will be knocking on doors of our businesses between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.

Make sure you check out the map in today’s edition of KTW and come trickor-treat with us.

Please be aware of the number of children who will be out and about on Saturday while you’re driving.

October has been particularly exciting for us at the North Shore Business Association.

We renewed our organization for another four years.

This caps a whirlwind period of organizational renewal that has seen us

Tomorrow is Halloween and that means “Treat Street on the North Shore. Ghosts, goblins, superheroes, princesses and pirates will be knocking on doors of our businesses between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.

”

greatly increase our marketing and promotions on behalf of our business area, strengthen our internal operations and procedures, grow our public-affairs impact and focus on our core priorities of beautification, promotions and relationships.

We have an incredible board of directors that has brought teamwork, vision and

a drive to make the North Shore shine — and it’s thanks to the board that we have been so successful.

It was also very humbling to have 97 per cent of our commercial properties support our renewal.

We have a plan, the plan is working and we’re going to stick to the plan.

Thank you to everyone who sup-

ported us and believed in us.

NORTH SHORE NEWS

Queen of Bingo soon to grace Brocklehurst stage Sis and Babe are sisters with the same passion — bingo.

Beyond that, the two are polar opposites.

Sis is a good loser; Babe must win.

Sis is fit; Babe is overweight. Sis is a widow not looking for love; Babe is looking everywhere for it.

Their story is the plot of The Queen of Bingo, which kicks off the season for the Class Act Theatre Society in Kamloops.

Formerly known as the Snowflakes Theatre Society, the group has partnered with the Centre of Seniors Information in the Brock Shopping Centre. Together, they are fundraising to build a theatre and stage there.

MALAYSIA’S CULTURAL HEARTLAND MARGARET DEEFHOLTS

FOR TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES

travelwriterstales.com

T

he Malay woman grins at my exclamation of amazement.

Her several chins quiver with mirth as she lifts a basket filled with prawns, each the size of a wrestler’s fist, and holds it up for my camera.

From across the aisle, another old woman, wearing a scarf around her head, beckons eagerly. She wants me to take a picture of her turtle eggs.

This is the “wet” [fresh produce] Pasar Besar Siti Khadijah market located on ground floor of the Central Market in the town of Kota Bharu where most of the vendors are women.

At 10 a.m., the cavernous, octagonal hall seethes with colour and activity.

One floor up, customers throng around stalls stacked with packages of mysterious herbs, dried leaves, gnarled barks and roots.

Patrons sitting at tables wield chopsticks deftly in and out of steaming bowls of broth and wonton dumplings and the air sizzles with the smell of curried chicken, fried noodles and steamed fish.

A vendor beams at me as he pours hot milky tea from a mug held high above his head into another held at thigh level; when the latter is brimming, he reverses mugs and does it again, without spilling a drop.

When he is satisfied the teh tarik “pulled tea” is blended to frothy perfection, he offers it to me. It tastes like Indian chai — sweet and spicy.

On my way up a flight of steps, I run into one of the members of our Canadian group.

“Bargains!” she says, triumphantly, waving her plastic shop-

IF YOU GO GETTING THERE: Malaysia Airlines operates flights to and from Kuala Lumpur and Penang or take the Jungle Railway (express or local trains) which runs between Wakaf Baru and Gemas, (which connects to the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur line). Buses operating between Kota Bharu and Wakaf Baru (about an hour’s drive) are cheap and convenient.

WORTH SEEING: The Kelantan Museum, Royal Museum, Handicraft Village and Wat Phothivihan (about 15 kilometres north of Kota Bharu), a Buddhist temple in a tranquil garden, with a 40-metre-long reclining Buddha, believed to be the largest in South East Asia.

MORE INFORMATION: Tourism Malaysia, online at tourismmalaysia.ca, by calling 604-689-8899 or emailing info@tourismmalaysia.ca. Contact: Ms. Sandra Ngoh-Fonseka.

ping bag, “Go have a look . . . it’s wonderful!”

The top floor of the market is honey-combed with narrow aisles running between shops.

Racks display patterned Baju Kebayas, wrap-around skirts, flowing tunics, men’s T-shirts, Batik handicrafts (a speciality of the region), caftans and scarves.

Their shelves, stacked with bolts of material, are mosaics of parrot green, royal blue, orange and purple.

I stand with the group near the entrance to the market, as we wait to board our tour bus.

Looking at the street scene, the bustling sidewalks and gaily painted rickshaws weaving between the traffic, I am charmed

by Kota Baru.

It is a friendly, lively town.

It is also the capital of the predominantly Muslim state of Kelantan, situated in the northeast corner of Malaysia where it

MARGARET DEEFHOLTS PHOTO Fried noodles, curried chicken and steamed fish are among the many delicious items for sale in street food stalls in Kota Bharu, Malaysia. The area is known for Pasar Besar Siti Khadijah, a fresh produce market.

borders on Thailand.

Thirteen kilometres away is Panti Dasar Sabak, a beach which today lies tranquil and wave-lapped under the tropical sun.

Fifty-nine years ago, it must have been a very different scene for this was where the Japanese landed in December 1941 — an hour and a half before they bombed Pearl Harbour — and then went on to occupy Malaysia and Singapore until August 1945.

Our tour guide is eager to show us around Kelantan’s Cultural Centre.

We watch a martial arts (pencak silat) demonstration, where combatants assume meditative postures and circle one another with stylized gestures. Then, a group of drummers wearing cheerful yellow tunics swing into action. The drums have a surprisingly mellow timbre and the

rhythm patterns are complex and delicate.

I had thought that there was something endearingly child-like about a culture which held topspinning, kite-flying and birdsinging competitions each year.

But these activities aren’t mere kid stuff. Top spinning isn’t just a skill — it’s an art.

We watched wooden tops as large as plates whirling merrily on metal tipped wooden posts.

In competitions, some could weigh up to seven kilograms and it must take considerable heft to whip five metres of cord to put them into action.

The idea is to spin tops for the longest possible time; experts can keep them going for two hours on a single throw.

We drop in to visit a master kite-maker. He is a frail old man, with deep-set gentle eyes.

Behind him, in a small shed, is a 2.5 metre-high kite, with a

lacy white design set stencil-like against gold paper and mounted into a bamboo frame.

He swings a small kite back and forth, producing a “whooomp” of sound, a “song” intensified many times over, when monster-sized kites bob and weave against the sky.

During kite-flying competitions, points are scored for heights attained and kites conquered in fights.

I reluctantly leave Kelantan, carrying away images of an emerald-green land with paddy fields, coconut groves and banana plantations, the plaintive call of “Allah-ho-Akbar” from nearby mosques and the smell of mangoes, durian and papayas wafting on the warm air.

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!
