Fassbender wants to help city, mine in annexation talks ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

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 application to annex the mine west of the city, but the proposal faces opposition 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 boundaryextension 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 average, which was around $40 per $1,000 of assessed value in 2012, compared

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.

“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

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 quandaries.

of the more definitive options might be.”

He noted other communities have been able to negotiate tax agreements with industries outside their boundaries with no annexation required.

Mayor Peter Milobar said the province’s preference for a plan that all

parties agree upon came through in the city’s meeting with Fassbender.

“The very clear message 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.

Four vying for TIB chief role

Issues include housing, development and Seven Mile CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

hen 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 projects back in 2000,” he said during 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 management four years ago and it now contributes several hundred thousand dollars a year to revenues.

Kamloops This Week interviewed Casimir and two other candidates for chief in preparation for Saturday’s general band election. A fourth, Frank Paul, an RCMP member based in Kelowna, did not return messages.

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 taxation and one of the most successful in the country in terms of industrial and residential development.

Seymour is the most veteran, and only current council member 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 manager 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 infrastructure for this and think it’s feasible,” 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 personalities, 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, including 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 created 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.”

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

The court may make an order either permitting 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.

RCMP are working with fire investigators following 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 arrested 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 suspected 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 visible. 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 contained. “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.

Women help impoverished with Shoebox Project

‘It’s something focused on women, to help them feel good about themselves’ JESSICA KLYMCHUK

STAFF REPORTER

jklymchuk@kamloopsthisweek.com

M

onique 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 considered 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 holiday season gifted personalized 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 community. 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 something different and something focused on women, to help them feel good about themselves,” 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 hundreds and hundreds of women who who spend their money on their children and they aren’t necessarily getting 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 perspective 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), chocolates, cookies, candles, mitts, scarves, hats, brushes or gift cards (McDonald’s, Tim Hortons, Shoppers Drug Mart) with the value identified.

Donors are encouraged 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.

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 following 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 current 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.

OUR

VIEW

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, proving respect for Canada’s veterans is alive and well in the Tournament Capital.

Kudos, Kamloops. Lest we forget.

Plain — with no cheezy buzzwords

R

ead the following paragraph about an education 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 supports elementary, secondary and university teachers co-designing and implementing cross-curricular learning tasks and appropriate evaluation tools. Areas of focus include enhanced student 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 essentially indecipherable.

It was the latest in a long list of government bafflegab in which PR people apparently feel the need to use and abuse buzzwords, stretch convoluted sentences 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

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS 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 paragraph down into a simplified explanation even my cat could understand.

He replied, noting that hideous paragraph housing that obnoxious collection of confusion was actually written 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 background, but conceded “it’s also pretty dense.”

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

British Columbia has a plainlanguage web page that advises its employees to write in simple terms. It advises to “cut unnecessary words, avoid jargon whenever 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, mandating 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 excellent 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 fourday conference on the subject.

At the time, I noted in a column that other areas in desperate need of a plain-language makeover are instruction manuals, legal documents and doctors’ instructions.

Here’s hoping the next government-related paragraph that lands in my inbox is rinsed clean of verbose buzzwords that do little but obscure the message. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

MORE OPINIONS ON REFERENDUM OUTCOME Editor: With the No vote on the recent performingarts centre referendum, I’ve had dozens of conversations first lamenting 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 upcoming production of Mary Poppins, visit the exhibitions at the Kamloops Art Gallery, Courthouse Gallery and Arnica ArtistRun Centre, take in the number of choral concerts in the lead up to the holiday season, enjoy the holiday pantomime.

We have many rich and wonderful opportunities to engage with the arts in our community.

These organizations depend on support.

Make a donation, vol-

Get out and “support the

opportunities we have.

”

unteer, become a member, participate in artistic programs, sign up for a class, buy Christmas presents 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 creating 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 shopping, entertainment, cultural or sports-related, I could maneuver throughout 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 maintain 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 mining town.

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

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

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

one to support and promote 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, including a strong downtown community centre.

I wanted a more multiuse facility downtown.

Perhaps fear mongering from the Yes campaign 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. Venya Brechin Kamloops

Industry rep says cattle fears after dry summer overblown CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Let’s Ta!k

City of Kamloops

2016 BUDGET

Fears that the summer drought would shrink B.C.’s cattle herd appear to be overblown, according to an industry representative.

Kevin Boon, general manager of the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, acknowledged this week some Interior ranchers brought cattle to market early this summer in the wake of high feed prices and dwindling range grass due to drought.

The federal government 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,

KTW FILE PHOTO

The B.C. Livestock Producers Co-op auction in Kamloops hasn’t seen much of a dent in sales despite a very dry summer.

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 declining prices in the wake of discovery of BSE disease more than a decade ago, B.C.’s herd experienced a corresponding drift downwards.

But the rapid increase in those prices, setting records annually, 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 discourage some ranchers from keeping cattle over winter.

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

on Clarke tried walking 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 secondary. Now that we’ve got the record, it feels almost better than taking the championship, because it’s tough to break world records.”

Mike Brown (left), Bryce McMillan, Don Clarke, Graham Mackenzie, Shawn Davidson and Mark Brise of Kamloops Fire and Rescue returned to the Tournament Capital with a world championship and world record after competing in the 2015 Scott Firefighter Combat Challenge in Alabama.

McMillan rounded out the KFR contingent at the World Challenge.

The Challenge attracts hundreds 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 breathing apparatus, athletes race head to head and against the clock, performing a series of five tasks — climbing a five-storey tower, hoisting, 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 seconds ahead of bronze medallists Iron Wolves, who represented Lithuania at the event.

With the win, the local department now has three world championships 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 everybody will speak to it, is the misery of the Rescue Randy — the 106foot 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 finish 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.

“That’s why we train so hard.

TRU’s ghost runner

WOLFPACK ATHLETE HAS NEVER BEEN ON CAMPUS in the triathlon world, Mazzotta said he feels the sky is the limit for one of his youngest racers.

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

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

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

But, this weekend, the 18-year-old may well be the WolfPack’s top runner at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport Cross Country Championships.

The event takes place tomorrow in Guelph.

Smith’s arrangement 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 university and, until midway through the cross-country 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 addition of a distancelearning 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 impressive 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 accolades, he was looking for a way to improve the running aspect of his racing, which drew him to the idea of competing 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 primarily 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

Where Smith finishes 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. championships.

“Both Tony and Conlan have also really blossomed this year — it has been a real success 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 represent 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 athletes like that, but she could be, potentially, top 50 in the nation, which would be phenomenal,” he said.

Break over for Blazers MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Schools of thought differ on how breaks in between games affect teams that are rolling, much like the Kamloops Blazers were before beginning a sixday 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

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Kamloops Blazers’ captain Matt Needham (right) said a six-day break might help his team, which used the rest to recuperate.

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 practise 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, running around trying to bang you up. You just have to beat them to pucks.”

Kamloops defenceman 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 registered 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 assistant 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.

CHAN FAVOURED TO WIN SKATING TITLE 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 weekend.

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 champion Maxim Kovtun of Russia, who is competing in his first Grand Prix event this season, are also among the contenders.

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 another podium after her second place at Skate America.

Canada looking for revenge against Honduras in key World Cup qualifier JOSHUA CLIPPERTON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

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 embarrassing 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 penultimate 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 situation,’’ 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 midfielder. “History says [Friday] is a ‘mustwin’ compared to how Canadian teams have done, but we’ve also started to turn the corner a little bit and feel confident 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 striker 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 players and create chances.’’

Among the 12 countries left standing 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 roundrobin pool advance to the final round of qualifying, with the top three getting 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.

Obituaries & In Memoriam ALBERT 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.

In Loving Memory of a Very Special Husband

LEO DINICOLO January 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.

I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow.

So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow.

Now my life is all confused Since you went away.

You took a part of me And 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 me And we had these many years.

September 20, 1932 ~ November 13, 2003

He never looked for praises He was never one to boast He just went on quietly working For the ones he loved the most.

His dreams were seldom spoken His wants were very few And most of the time his worries Went unspoken too.

He was there ... a firm foundation Through all our storms of life A sturdy hand to hold onto In times of stress and strife A true friend we could turn to When times were good or bad One of our greatest blessings The man that we called Dad. Much Love

Your daughters Dallas, Donna and Debbie

Weep not for me though I am gone Into that gentle night.

Grieve if you will, but not for long Upon my soul’s sweet flight.

I am at peace, my soul’s at rest There is no need for tears.

For with your love I was so blessed For all those many years.

There is no pain, I suffer not, The fear now is all gone.

Put now these things out of your thoughts, In your memory I live on.

Remember not my fight for breath Remember not my strife Please do not dwell upon my death, But celebrate my life.

FAITH

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

S

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, saying that historically Christianity was associated with crusades, imperialism, war, exploitation, climbing divorce rate, feminism and individualism.

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 traditions.

However, it is bewildering to know many Christians perceive Christianity differently.

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

For others, it might

NARYAN MITRA

You Gotta Have

FAITH

be speaking in a strange tongue.

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

For some, it is denominational segregation, holiness and division of the sheep from the goats.

For many others, it is about winning pagan souls and increasing membership in churches.

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 punctilious prayers five times daily.

If it is about caring 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 disciples of one Christus, the anointed one (in Greek), the Messiah (in Hebrew).

In other words, external traditions, practices, doctrinal teachings, mission activities and other “Christian engagements are not the right definitions 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 9:5762 describes what Jesus requires from his followers.

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 wouldbe 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 certainly 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 planning 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 readiness.

In the same story, two other would-be followers 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 kingdom 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 worthy of his call.

For full commitment 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 conquerors 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, neither 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). ryanmitra225@ gmail.com

Read before pontificating Editor: 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, directions 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 relationship 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 matters. I would recommend theologians 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

New Democrats name critics THE CANADIAN PRESS

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 progressive 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 dissolved.

As the NDP comes to terms with its return to third-party status, the Liberals are moving 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 campaign promises,’’ Davies said.

“With the Conservatives essentially 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 suggested the new government will have to face bigger-than-expected

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

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

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

Finning to cut 440 jobs in Western Canada THE CANADIAN PRESS

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

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

Combined with previous downsizing 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 decisions, we believe we are taking the right path to adjust our business to market realities and ensure financial strength, while simultaneously positioning Finning to deliver customer 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 sectors, which have been hit by a sustained drop in commodity prices.

In its latest results released yesterday the company said new-equipment 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 factors within our control has contributed to preserving a strong balance sheet and allowed us to improve profitability in our Canadian operations 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.’’

SASKATCHEWAN MAN WANTS TO WITHDRAW GUILTY PLEA 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.

NATIONAL’ NEWS FEDERAL FISHERIES

Critically low salmon returns prompt B.C. First Nations to call for meeting THE 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 meeting to discuss plunging salmon returns in the province’s rivers.

The alliance’s Chief Bob Chamberlin says six million sockeye salmon were forecast for the Fraser River this year, but only two million fish arrived, while 14 million 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 aquaculture 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 logging in the region, saying they have not given consent for such extensive cutting.

Vancouver cops mum on covert cell phone surveillance technology THE CANADIAN PRESS

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-ofinformation request asking for any records about a technology known as Stingray. The department claimed that divulging documents on the topic could compromise the effectiveness of the force’s investigative

techniques.

Pivot Legal Society, the Vancouver-based advocacy organization 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 information request. “It’s an incredibly frightening proposition.’’ The American Civil Liberties Union has identified 57 agencies in 22 states that own Stingray devices, though the group said that number likely underrepresents the actual total given how many agencies purchase 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 technology, pledging not to divulge any information about the device or even any interactions with the company. “I think by saying the mere acknowledgment 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 nobrainer 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 surveillance.

In its response to Pivot, the Vancouver police would neither confirm nor deny having any information related to the mass-surveillance device, including whether it had ever been in contact with the Florida-based manufacturer Harris Corp.

Stingrays also function as catch-all devices, intercepting not just a single signal but rather surveilling indiscriminately 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) government,’’ he added. “Will they lift the lid on what’s been going on here?’’

Members of the Kamloops Photographic Arts Club took part in a photo competition called Around B.C. The club placed 11th overall.

The best photos in Kamloops 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 competition 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 collected 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 adjudicating, after being checked by the KPAC competition director for correct sizing, labelling and theme criteria.

MORE PICTURES INSIDE Over the next four pages, you will see four of the Kamloops entries, alongside writeups and comments from KTW photographer Dave Eagles

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 different twist. Acting competition director Robert Nowland explained the process for judging: “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 members Bonnie Pryce and Brian Mitchell for each receiving honourable mention for their images.

The Kamloops club placed 11th overall.

With 18 photo clubs participating, 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 mysterious quality of the image.

A paediatric physiotherapist 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 capturing her visions of the natural world, especially at night,

as well as travel and cultural photography. She also enjoys many other styles of photography, each with their various challenges and differences inherent within each particular 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 passionate 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 element within an image. It’s reminiscent of the floating mountains scene in the James Cameron movie, Avatar.”

‘They don’t come that often’ 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:

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 photography.

“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

‘It created a mood of gravitas’ 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 creating this image, she edited the photo by converting it to black and white and then increased the image’s contrast.

“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 subject, I see the church to be more central to the photo.

“Great use of several elements to articulate a strong historical mood.”

To Brazil for metal DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

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 features Morbosidad, Ad Baculum and Bellicum Bestiallis.

Sharp described the band’s music as a combination of death and black metal, influenced 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, particularly 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 gunfire, 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-expensespaid 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 route Tickets go on sale on Entertainment Nov. 13 for the April 7, 2016, Kamloops show with Marianas Trench and opening act Walk Off the Earth.

It’s the last stop in a 18-stop tour that starts on March 9 in Kingston, Ont., and ends on April 8 in Vancouver.

The tour is in support of Marianas Trench’s fourth studio album, Astoria.

Tickets are available online at livenation.com

IAL ENFO ES SPEC D FORC FT x Y COMBINE FOLLOW

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 awardwinning singer.

The Scottish-born McDermott gave up his day job for good — he worked in the circulation department at the Toronto Sun newspaper — in 1993 when

US ON

COMBINED FORCES SPECIAL ENFORCEMENT UNIT - BRITISH COLUMBIA

he performed to a full house in Halifax.

It was his first concert 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 parents’ 50th wedding anniversary.

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

Friends heard it, pushed him to have it produced for public consumption and a couple of entertainment industry managers 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, kamloopslive.ca.

The Laughing Stock Theatre presents Beauty and the Beast — the Panto in December.

Based on the classic tale of Belle, her father and the strange creature living in the derelict palace, the play has new twists and turns in this version.

Performances are Dec. 26 and Dec. 29 at 7 p.m., with 1 p.m. matinees on Dec. 24, Dec. 26, Dec. 30 and Dec. 31 at Sagebrush Theatre.

Tickets are $16 for adults, $13 for those 14 and younger, free for those five and younger, with family packs at $48.

Tickets are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

elmcken Falls is one of the most spectacular 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 creation of the park.

Credit for discovering Helmcken Falls goes to Robert Henry Lee (18591935), a land surveyor working 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 homesteaders.

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

IF YOU GO How 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 trailhead Did you know? There are six other waterfalls on the Murtle River, upstream from Helmcken Falls? The others are The Mushbowl, Dawson Falls, Majerus Falls, Horseshoe Falls, Meadow Falls and McDougall Falls.

Richard McBride, premier of British Columbia, requesting 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.

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 treerooty path gives your legs a good workout.

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 exhilarating 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 canyon where you will get a close look at the falls going over the edge and the small falls before the large one.

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!
