Gasoline prices in Kamloops continue to drop as the world price of a barrel of oil remains mired in the low-$40 range.

Pump prices in the Tournament Capital were as high as $1.16 a week ago. As of yesterday, most stations had lowered the per litre price to below a buck. Costco almost always offers the lowest price in Kamloops and had a posted price per litre of 92.9 cents yesterday. Reasons given for the price drop vary, but those with empty tanks had better fill up fast as history has shown prices rise far faster than they fall.

Inmate: Gang forced me to smuggle drugs CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A 38-year-old man said in court yesterday he was forced to smuggle drugs into Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre to pay for past debts.

John Attrell, 38, pleaded guilty to two counts of drug possession and one count of breaching his probation.

Following a joint submission from Crown and defence, Attrell was given a total of 35 days in prison.

Defence lawyer Jay Michi said Attrell has

struggled with heroin and cocaine addictions.

Attrell has 25 convictions as an adult, most of them for property offences.

“Coming out of that lifestyle, you have some debts,” Attrell told provincial court judge Stephen Harrison.

“There was an ultimatum: You do this or things will happen to you.”

Attrell said the attempted smuggling was at the behest of a criminal gang.

Prosecutor Amanda Strangways said Attrell was entering the maximum-security prison in west Kamloops after failing to pay a fine given to him as part of a criminal sentence.

He was initially searched for drugs, but

correctional officers did not find anything.

However, a nurse who later attended to Attrell notice the smell of fresh marijuana.

A subsequent search turned up pot and morphine.

Strangways said correctional officials suspected the drugs were hidden in a body cavity.

Michi said Attrell realizes the seriousness of smuggling contraband into jail, something that can result in violence between inmates, as well as overdoses.

Attrell said he is on a methadone program and apologized for falling asleep during the sentence hearing.

Decision to come in trial of accused moose poachers A judge reserved his decision yesterday following the trial of two men on illegal hunting charges.

Wei Li and Xin Xiao are charged with illegal hunting and possession of a moose, as well as failure to retrieve edible portions

of the animal. Li also faces charges of hunting while not being a resident of B.C and Canada.

Judge Chris Cleaveley reserved his decision following final arguments from Crown and defence.

The Crown alleges the two men shot and killed a moose in

Inside the vehicle, they seized a rain jacket with blood stain linked by DNA evidence to the dead moose.

Kamloops pot shop robbed CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The owner of a medical-marijuana dispensary in North Kamloops said yesterday two employees are “traumatized” after being confronted by an armed robber.

Kamloops Mounties are looking for a suspect following the armed robbery of Canadian Safe

Cannabis Services in the 400-block of Tranquille Road by 4:30 a.m. Tuesday.

RCMP said the suspect used a sawed-off shotgun, demanding cash and pot.

Marijuana activist and shop owner Carl Anderson said the two staff members are not yet back at work.

“It’s our desire to be treated like everyone else.”

The dispensary exists in a legal grey area. It was raided and shut down by the RCMP four years ago, but the Crown eventually dropped charges when a serious legal challenge was mounted.

LEFT OUT OF A WILL? Has your spouse or parent recently died leaving you little or nothing in his or her Will?

Losing a parent or spouse can be devastating, and you may find yourself in a situation where his or her estate has left you with far less than you were expecting, or to which you may be entitled. In B.C, when a parent or spouse dies, you have a narrow window of time to challenge a Will. If a court finds that your parent or spouse hasn’t made adequate provision for you, it has the ability to change the Will. But, if you fail to bring a claim within the time limits, you will not be able to challenge the Will.

Walsh wants votes hand-counted ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops city councillor is calling for some of the city’s ballots to be counted by hand following local elections in case of computer glitches.

Coun. Denis Walsh put forward a notice of motion at Tuesday’s council meeting, calling for an audit process following local votes.

Walsh said he has been approached by some residents

who are concerned about the accuracy of the electronic voting machines the city uses for its elections, which replaced handcounting.

“There’s no follow-up, no checks and balances with the actual outcome,” Walsh said.

His proposal would see ballots counted by hand at three or four polling stations, randomly selected following a vote, to confirm the voting machines are working accurately.

have all kinds of issues with computers,” he said. “So, to blindly trust that nothing has gone on since the pre-testing, I don’t think is responsible.”

Walsh said he has heard stories of a machine in the U.S. that was double- counting votes. The duplication was discovered during an audit.

“I think it’s just prudent to have some form of system that verifies the outcome,” he said.

Council will debate the issue on Nov. 24.

There were cars aplenty in the parking lot in front of the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre on Wednesday night but, as the city’s second public budget meeting got underway in the building’s second-floor lounge, it didn’t appear many of their owners had ventured up the stairs to give their thoughts.

About three members of the public were spotted amongst city staffers and councillors as the meeting began.

A lunchtime session on Wednesday

at Sandman Centre also failed to attract a crowd, pulling in only a handful of residents.

Mayor Peter Milobar believes the purpose of the meeting — to discuss ways the city’s departments can become more efficient — may not have resonated with the public.

Milobar expects turnout will be higher in the spring, when Kamloopsians will have the opportunity to lobby council for additions to the 2016 budget.

Low turnout was also an issue at public budget meetings last year, when 44 members of the public attended a similar pair of bud-

get input sessions in October and some councillors called for the city to scale back the number of consultation sessions it hosts.

Provincial regulations require the city to hold at least one public input session each budget season.

“We’ve tried to be more than that over the last five or 10 years, but it’s that balance,” Milobar said.

“You look at the amount of staff time that goes into creating these presentations and documents.

“At the same time, we’re talking about trying to be a more efficient organization and we’ve got all our

senior management in a room for a grand total of 11 people over two sessions.

“Is that the best use of their time?”

Jennifer Adams was one of the few members of the public to attend the afternoon event.

Have your say online at kamloops.ca While its budget meetings attracted little public attention, the City of Kamloops is hoping an online survey on this year’s budget will bring in some public feedback.

Finance director Kathy Humphrey said the city wants to know which areas of its operations the public wants reviewed first at is looks to find time- and cost-saving measures.

“We’re asking people to rank the efficiencies we’ve identified,” she said. “Which one do you think we should work on first? Which one would have the most benefit to you as a citizen?”

In the parks department, for example, options include a new strategy for the Kamloops Museum and Archives to bring

in more visitor traffic, alternative irrigation methods for city parks and energy-efficiency reviews in city buildings.

The departmental reviews were requested by city council as part of its strategic priorities for the term.

The survey will be online until Nov. 24, Humphrey said.

It’s linked off the main page of the city’s website at kamloops.ca.

So far, Humphrey said, the city is looking at about a $2 million increase in its budget, mainly from increasing hydro and transit costs, as well rising RCMP and city staff wages.

PETER MILOBAR: Mayor hopes for better turnout in spring.

She told KTW she wanted to encourage the city’s parks, recreation and culturalservices department to start thinking about a Plan B for the performing-arts centre and give suggestions on how to engage the community.

Adams said she doesn’t understand why more people aren’t showing up to the meetings.

“This is too bad. It’s like the [arts centre] vote. How many people came out and voted — 31 per cent? That’s terrible,” she said.

City council will next meet in December to set water and sewer rates for the 2016 budget.

Transit proposal will remain parked ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops city council has slammed the brakes on one councillor’s proposal to bring bus service to the city 365 days of the year.

Coun. Donovan Cavers had proposed bringing in Sunday-level service for Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Christmas Day, which he said would cost about $15,000 per day.

But, city staff said the cost of Cavers’ plan would likely be higher, $20,000 or more per day of service — and full year-round service would require funding for four days, not three.

The city also does not have bus service on New Year’s Day. Coun. Marg Spina said the city doesn’t have room in its schedule for additional hours.

While the city’s transit service was at one time set to expand by 6,000 hours this fall, a funding freeze at BC Transit has put bus expansion on hold.

“I understand that it would be nice to do, but if we don’t have the money and we don’t have the hours

until our next contract, I don’t see how we could do it,” Spina said.

Mayor Peter Milobar said because bus drivers would be paid a premium for working statutory holidays, the city might have to cut more than 500 regular service hours to find the cash for the additional four days of service.

“The only way for staff to investigate this is if we say we’re prepared to get rid of some of the 15-minute frequency we’ve put in place over the last few years,” he said.

Cavers said he doesn’t want to see hours pulled from other service days and argued the city should instead “put this forward” to the province or BC Transit to determine if either is able to make the additional hours available.

Seeing little support around the table, Cavers changed his motion from adding additional days of bus service immediately to asking for a staff report to study the implications of holiday service.

The changed motion failed to pass by a margin of 7-1, with only Cavers voting in favour.

Coun. Tina Lange was absent.

Stuart Wood to be studied during break ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

When students and teachers clear out of Stuart Wood elementary for Christmas break, a consultant for the City of Kamloops will head in to assess the state of the heritage building.

The study is the next step in negotiations between the city and Thompson Rivers University over the school, which School District 73 is closing at the end of this school year.

Stuart Wood is owned by the city, which leases the property to the district.

But, a covenant put on the school in 1906 states the property must be maintained for educational purposes or ownership reverts to the province.

TRU announced last year it had signed an agreement to look at Stuart wood for a downtown campus.

City CAO David Trawin said the school

A7

building is on the agenda for a meeting between the city and TRU later this month, but noted the building assessment will give the university a better sense of whether it makes sense to go ahead with any of the uses it has identified for the space.

“If they wanted to take it over, what does it mean for code? What does it mean for bathrooms? Is there any skeletons in the closet? That kind of thing,” Trawin said.

Capital-projects manager Darren Crundwell said the city will study the building’s interior

and exterior to determine what upgrades or changes would be required if a new leaseholder, or the city itself, were to take over the space.

“Because they’re [SD73] in it, if there’s code issues existing currently, they don’t have to change those,” Crundwell said.

“It’s only when you change the use or you do renovations.”

While TRU wanted to lead the assessment, Crundwell said the city is instead taking charge because it already has an agreement with a contractor for the work and because it owns the property.

The process will take place over the Christmas break to avoid disrupting students, Crundwell said.

TRU spokesman Christopher Seguin said the university isn’t sharing its options for the space at this stage and won’t know how to proceed until it sees the assessment.

“After that report’s done, we’ll be evaluating the opportunity,” he said.

SMASH AND GRAB NETTED WELDERS Sometime overnight on Saturday, November 14th the Praxair Welding supply store on 1285 Dalhousie Drive was broken into. The suspects broke through the front glass doors, once inside they took 4 welders, 3 of the welders could be packed out by one person, the other welder would have need at least two people to move it.

All 3 welders were green Pro Stars, two smaller ones and one with wheels, the 4th wilder was a black Tweco. The thieves are going to have a tough time running the Tweco welder as the parts that are needed to start this welder were left behind. All serial numbers have been recorded by the police and will remain on the Police computer system until they are recovered. The suspects were in a hurry as there were more items that could have been take very easily.

A vehicle would have been needed to transport these welders, someone may have notice a truck leaving the Dalhousie area late at night.

If you have any information on the whereabouts of these welders or saw anything suspicious, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will receive a cash reward.

THEFT OF SNOWMOBILE On Saturday, November 7th, a pickup truck with a new snowmobile in the box had been parked at the Office Pub parking lot in Valleyview.

Sometime early in the morning, thieves took advantage of the situation and the suspects pulled the snowmobile off the truck dragged it over to a waiting vehicle and departed the area.

The snowmobile is described as a 2015 black Skidoo Summit X series, the serial number have been entered on the Police computer system.

This theft would have taken at least 2 - 3 people to move the snow machine and load it into another truck. This is a open area and it is very possible someone may have seen

people moving the snowmobile. This is your opportunity to do the right thing and call the Police or if you want to remain anonymous, please contact Crime Stoppers. You will never have to give a statement or go to could, just your information will be used.

TWO BICYCLES STOLEN FROM TRU On Friday, October 23rd two bicycles were stolen in front of the Old Main building at Thompson Rivers University. It appears that during daytime hours two male suspects came to the bike rack located infront of the building when students were in class and cut the locks off the bikes. There is a photo of the suspects, it is not of great quality but someone may recognize these suspects.

The first bike is Opis red and

white Mountain bike, the other is a green Rocky Mountain Flatliner, both bikes can be easily identified.

The owners of the bikes did the right thing by locking the bikes, the only suggestion would be to use a very expensive lock that could be purchased from a speciality bike shop.

If you have any information on this theft or may know these suspects, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will remain

anonymous and only your information will be used never your name.

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

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: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his rock-star-like effect on the masses.

Trudeau’s reception in Manila this week was a sight to behold (and you can see it by visiting KTW’s Facebook page), with young Filipino girls squealing in delight as they fought to touch the Liberal leader.

“He’s so hot! He gives me chills! He makes me cold!” one smitten girl tells CBC News in the video.

While Trudeau has far more important matters to attend to, and while he has not been in power long enough to test his political mettle, his impact on people around the world is simply astonishing.

Here’s hoping he converts that capital into solid work and promises kept as his term continues.

OUR

VIEW

NOT: Coun. Donovan Cavers’ ill-fated attempt to have transit buses run every day of the year, including Christmas, New Year’s Day, Good Friday and Easter.

Part of Cavers’ proposal was predicated on the argument that some residents who depend on transit to visit friends and family may be deprived of such social contact during holidays.

However, as fellow Coun. Ken Christian astutely pointed out: What about the drivers and others who would have to work on those holidays? Wouldn’t such an extension of service deprive them of such social contact during holidays?

That argument — and the fact the plan would have cost upwards of $100,000 — kept the proposal parked.

HOT: The Thompson Rivers University basketball teams. Both are 4-0 entering home-opening games tonight and tomorrow. Check out a game at the TCC and cheer on your WolfPack.

Read (on paper) all about it

A

fter the tragic news from Paris last week, which followed the horrible news from January at the offices of the Charlie Hebdo magazine, it is a relief to read some pleasant news from the country across the Atlantic.

“Read” is the operative word.

In Grenoble, France (the very place in which Kamloops Sen. Nancy Greene Raine won gold and silver medals, an accomplishment that led to her being named Canada’s female athlete of the century, and the birthplace of another legend, Andre the Giant), they are powering off the cellphones and churning out the paper.

There are eight dispensing machines in Grenoble, each filled with short stories just waiting to be spit out to a waiting pair of eyes.

The stories are written by authors connected to the Short Edition publishing company, which, along with Grenoble Mayor Éric Piolle, created the throwback way to pass the time while waiting.

Sure, if one is standing on the corner awaiting the arrival of a friend, one could always whip out the iPhone and begin exercising the index finger in constant scrolling and tapping and pressing and swiping.

But, it is all so impersonal.

Sterile. Frenetic. Temporary. Cold.

What the great minds in Grenoble have come to realize is reading — actually taking a breath while relaxing and reading a story on an actual piece of paper — is a much more elegant and satisfying way to pass the time.

Each orange and black machine will dispense a short

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS story of three lengths, depending on how much time the reader has to kill — two minutes, three minutes and five minutes.

The stories roll out on paper that resembles receipts and the best part is the entire exercise is free.

Imagine such machines in downtown Kamloops next to the perpetually controversial parking kiosks.

The city could partner with the Kamloops Arts Council in offering such a service as anger therapy of sorts — as soon as the blood pressure of the man trying in vain to use the Precise ParkLink kiosk reaches its peak, a soothing story slides out of an adjacent machine, helping to prevent yet another stress-related cardiac event caused by “progress”.

Adopting this idea in Kamloops could encourage writers of all ages. It could nudge borderline readers into devouring stories of all genres. It could foster a better sense of community.

On a more serious level, exposing more people to the written word on paper, as opposed to

symbols on a screen, may help create better readers with superior reading comprehension.

Scientific American reported in April 2013 that research since the early 1990s has found reading words on paper is likely better for the mind than reading those same words on an iPad From the article: “Compared with paper, screens may also drain more of our mental resources while we are reading and make it a little harder to remember what we read when we are done.”

Perhaps this is connected to rising sales of real books in Canada and an interesting development in the United Kingdom Across the Atlantic, Waterstones, the UK’s largest book retailer, decided last month to remove all Amazon Kindle e-readers from its stores due to abysmal sales.

Replacing that space will be books — the real paper kind.

In Canada, sales of books are rising, according to BookNet Canada, which reported that 52-million books were sold in Canada in 2014 — 80 per cent being real books, 17 per cent being e-books and three per cent being audio books.

It’s funny. The mighty compact disc, which slew the cassette tape during my adolescent, is itself on life-support, yet the original king of music — vinyl — continues to get stronger.

Consider the humble book the vinyl of the reading world — and don’t forget to recycle that e-reader on your way to the short-story dispenser. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ROUND- THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE OF GOODWILL ABOUT WAY TO GET THINGS DONE Editor: Finally, after a whole summer of construction, the new roundabout at Hugh Allan and Versatile drives is complete.

And, it looks wonderful.

Imagine my surprise, then, while driving down Hugh Allen and finding more construction signs.

Keep going and then see they are digging up the new pavement already to do something.

It seems like a lack of planning to me.

Oh, yes, and the Dairy Queen is now only accessible when driving east.

I hope they’re not losing too much business.

S. Wideman Kamloops

Editor: The terrorists attacks in Paris have shaken all of us, even here in Canada, and have brought unthinkable pain to those who lost loved ones and those critically injured.

This suffering of everyone cannot be minimized. However, let us not lose sight of all the positive dialogue between religions that is going on.

One of them is an event at the Vatican just a few weeks ago, which probably was not covered by most media.

On Oct. 28, members of the Buddhist, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, Jain and Sikh faiths were in Rome to attend a conference commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council’s document Nostra

Aetate (Declaration on the Relations of the Church with Non-Christian Religions).

CNS reports that, during the conference, there was a gathering in St. Peter’s Square, where many held aloft olive branches.

Pope Frances invited everyone to pray to lead people to follow the will of God, who wants everyone to recognize each other as brothers and sisters and to form a “great human family in a harmony of diversity.”

Unfortunately, much of the violence and terrorism unfolding in the world have made people suspicious or critical of religions, he said.

However, “although no religion is immune from the risk of fundamentalist or extremist deviations,” he

said, people must look at the positive aspects of religious beliefs, especially how they are a source of hope for so many.

Pope Francis said respectful dialogue can lead to friendship and concrete initiatives between religious believers in serving the poor, the elderly, the marginalized and immigrants.

My prayer is the goodwill being shown in Canada regarding Syrian refugees will not be jeopardized by the terrorists’ attacks in Paris.

There are many people of goodwill.

We just don’t hear about them very often.

THANKS TO ALL FOR POPPY-CAMPAIGN SUPPORT Editor: On behalf of the Kamloops branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, I want to thank the people of Kamloops for their tremendous support shown during our recent Poppy Campaign and Remembrance Day ceremonies.

As always, the folks of this community opened their hearts and donated to the Poppy Fund, which in turn provides services for our veterans, past and present.

Your donations assist in so many ways — a scooter

for a vet who has difficulty getting around; a bus ticket and meal for a vet down on his or her luck; equipment for veterans’ care homes; the training of a companion dog; or funding to the

Veterans Transition Fund, which helps younger vets adjust to civilian life.

The list of where the funds go is long but, be assured, all your donations to the Poppy Campaign are

used for deserving veterans and/or their dependants.

Thank you, as well, to all those who contacted me about the ceremonies and for the suggestions you have to make the services even better in the future.

I am open to all suggestions and comments.

Please feel free to contact me by email at president@kamloopslegion. com.

Again, thank you, Kamloops.

Craig Thomson, president, Branch 52 Royal Canadian Legion Kamloops

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: STORY: CITY SEEKS TICKETING AGENT FOR SANDMAN CENTRE, POSSIBLY OTHER FACILITIES:

“I’ve read the RFP and it’s pretty obvious the City wants to give the contract to Ticketmaster again.

“There is little thought or consideration given to bringing ticketing in-house.

“Yet, there are a number of municipalities in B.C. that do their own ticketing and the process is either revenue-neutral or revenue-positive, depending on how they choose to add ticket fees.

“The City of Charlottetown does all of its own ticketing for everything from Shania Twain concerts to QMJHL hockey to Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

“The city has kept ticket fees in the local community and uses the revenue to improve its infrastructure. A heck of a lot better than sending the fees to Ticketmaster in Toronto.”

Identical triplets making progress at RIH TRACY HUGHES

SALMON ARM OBSERVER

newsroom@saobserver.net

It’s snuggles times three for Mahalia and Mike Meeuwsen as their rare identical triplets are healthy and growing in the neonatal intensive care unit of Royal Inland Hospital.

The girls, Hannah, Rileigh and Isabelle, were born by C-section on Nov. 3 at about eight weeks premature.

They have been cared for in hospital since, but are making excellent progress.

Doctors say the

odds of having identical triplets, who were conceived without the use of fertility treatments, are one in 50 million births.

The delivery had been scheduled for Nov. 16, but complications necessitated the earlier delivery date. All three babies weighed just over three pounds each.

Mahalia said her daughters have had intravenous lines removed and no longer need the equipment that was assisting with their breathing.

“The girls are doing amazing, gain-

ing weight and doing great,” said Mahalia, who is thrilled all three babies can be taken from their incubators and cuddled together.

The girls are still being fed with tubes into their stomachs, but are beginning to breast- and bottle-feed.

Mahalia praised the hospital’s medical staff, saying the quality of care in the neonatal intensive-care-unit has been “absolutely amazing.”

There is no word yet on when the triplets might be released from hospital and go home to Salmon Arm. Mahalia Meeuwsen and her rare identical triplets, Hannah, Rileigh and Isabelle, were born

by C-section on Nov. 3, eight weeks premature.

But, they are healthy and growing in the neonatal intensive-care-unit at Royal Inland Hospital.

Should TRU self-finance major capital projects?

A provincial finance committee that held hearings in Kamloops is recommending the province find ways to allow post-secondary institutions to self-finance major capital projects.

The recommendation is one of 63 contained in a select standing committee on finance and government services report.

Those recommendations include balanced budgets, restoring adult basic education funding and addressing the high cost of housing.

The report goes to Finance Minister Mike de Jong in preparation for the winter budget.

A number of postsecondary institutions, including Thompson Rivers University, lobbied the committee and B.C. Liberal government in wake of accounting rules that resulted in self-financed capital projects being included in the province’s debt.

That change prevented projects from moving forward.

At TRU, the International Building was self-financed by the university before those rules changed.

The Residence and Student Conference Centre, opened in 2006, is a selffinanced joint venture with a private company, also constructed before the accounting change.

Shortly after the province changed its accounting rules, TRU asked to alter them to allow development of a second student residence.

Matt Milovick, the university’s vice-president of administration and finance, said that plan is now off the table.

While a business study hasn’t been conducted, Milovick said flat domestic and international enrolment means student housing demand has levelled off.

“Every year we have a small wait list,” Milovick said.

“It’s not something that screams for a solution.”

TRU is now focused on

its university-village concept, a proposed mixedused development on university lands that would include market housing and commercial property.

An arm’s-length trust has been established to oversee development with profits going to the university.

Milovick said that development will not require a change to the province’s accounting rules.

“From our perspective, risk really goes to the developer.”

HIV tests at RIH Royal Inland Hospital will offer patients having blood work done the option of having an HIV test.

The program is part of Interior Health Authority’s initiative to offer the tests. Seven emergency rooms in the authority’s region are offering the tests.

Research has shown 65 per cent of those living in the IHA area are diagnosed with HIV long after they become infected, impacting their chances of a full recovery.

Health Minister Terry Lake said the expanded testing is part of the provincial Seek and Treat for Optimal Prevention of HIV/AIDS (STOP HIV) program.

“Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the number of new HIV infections in our region,” said IHA chief medical health officer Dr. Trevor Corneil.

“Treatments avail-

able today can suppress HIV to undetectable levels and that greatly reduces the likelihood of transmitting the virus to others.”

Maja Karlsson, STOP HIV program implementation leader, believes routinely offering an HIV test will help reduce stigma and reach people with no obvious risk factors, those who would normally have fallen through the cracks.

“Anyone who has ever been sexually active is at some risk of HIV, she said.

“A large portion of newly diagnosed patients don’t identify as ever belonging to one of the traditional high-prevalence populations. Getting tested for HIV provides reassurance for those who test negative and, for those who test positive, it provides an opportunity to access life–saving treatment.”

ravis Froehlich knows the realities of playing on a crumb-rubber turf field.

“We joke around about it with the guys — usually when we come home and dump our bags out, the rubber is everywhere, it gets everywhere,” the former goalkeeper of the Thompson Rivers WolfPack men’s soccer team said.

“I’m still picking up stuff from a month ago, just from dropping my bag around. It definitely gets everywhere. It’s definitely quite messy.”

But, he doesn’t know a lot about the product’s supposed health concerns, which have some crying foul.

With health authorities considering studies, American politi-

cians calling for federal investigations and major media outlets releasing reports, crumb-rubber turf installations and their possible health impacts — including links to cancer — are making waves throughout North America.

The Turf War, an ESPN E:60 report released earlier this month

by Julie Foudy, a retired member of the United States’ women’s national soccer team, examined the issue.

It builds on a 2014 NBC News story, How safe is the artificial turf your child plays on?, in which Amy Griffin, an associate head coach of the University of Washington’s women’s soccer team, expressed concerns about the growing number of goalkeepers who played on artificial turf fields being diagnosed with cancer.

Griffin began compiling a list of ill athletes as she explored the issue, a list that had grown to

187 — 150 of whom were soccer players — by the time The Turf War aired.

Ninety-five of those athletes were goalkeepers.

According to the story, crumb rubber contains 27 chemicals of concern, 11 of which are known carcinogens.

But, no one in the Tournament Capital is sounding the alarm just yet.

“There hasn’t been any conclusive evidence that has been published that makes a direct link,” Jeff Putnam, parks and civic facilities manager for the City of Kamloops, told KTW. “Our suppliers would keep us well informed. We have mostly natural-turf fields because they’re a lot better for the environment.”

In Kamloops, only Hillside Stadium uses a crumb-rubber turf installation. It first welcomed players in 2007.

Crumb rubber, made by

2015 CHEV SILVERADO 1500 X/CAB 4X4

reducing vehicle tires into small, pebble-like granules, is used as an infill on turf fields like the one at Hillside, to soften the surface and prevent injuries.

Putnam said Kamloops also has a few parks, including the playground at Prince Charles Park, that use recycled tire particles, in those cases bound together to create the black matting used as a soft and forgiving surface on the ground.

Art McDonald, director of facilities and transportation for School District 73, said crumb rubber is not used at schools locally.

Froehlich, who played at Hillside Stadium throughout his five-year career with the WolfPack, has heard little about health concerns and artificial turf — aside from the product being hard on athletes’ bodies, particularly their joints.

Arm wrestler wins gold at world championships MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Dan Kadlec showed discipline and strength in Malaysia last month and came back with two gold medals.

The Kamloops resident placed first in two categories at the World Para-Armwrestling Championships in Kuala Lumpur, winning the 100-plus kilogram right- and left-arm divisions for the hearing impaired.

“The whole event is stressful,” Kadlec said. “Probably the most stressful is the weight cutting, especially the last few days before weigh-ins.”

Kadlec began losing weight in September and dropped to 224 pounds from 248 pounds, but he still had four pounds to drop in

four days ahead of the event on Oct. 18.

“I found out that the official scale was actually four pounds off, against my favour, the day before my official weigh-in date, so I had to drop eight pounds of water instead of four,” he said.

“That sucked, as I was exhaust-

ed, thirsty and hungry.”

The World Arm Wrestling Championships were held in conjunction with the World ParaArmwrestling Championships.

Both World Armwrestling Federation events are drug tested under World Anti-Doping Agency and Olympic regulations.

Kadlec also competed in the 100-plus kilogram class at the World Arm Wrestling Championships, placing 10th in the right-arm division and 13th in the left-arm division.

“The toughest match I had was against Ukraine with my right hand in the open class,” Kadlec said. “We both had the same style and technique and it could have gone either way. He was the smarter of us that day.”

The highlight for the Kamloops puller was a victory over an opponent from Germany.

“I stopped him right before pinning me off the go and I brought him back all the way to pin him in one motion,” Kadlec said.

The next big event for Kadlec is the 2016 Canadian championships

in July in Saskatoon. Next year’s world championships will be held in Bulgaria.

Kadlec and fellow Kamloops puller Angie Rose have started an arm-wrestling club in the Tournament Capital.

“We are planning to organize public practices and promotional events at venues in the spring,” Kadlec said. “For the winter, we are hoping to collaborate with local gyms to host classes and promotional showings of the sport.”

Anyone interested in joining can email angelacrose@hotmail. com.

Rose recently returned from the Western Canadian Armwrestling Championships in Edmonton, where she won gold in the open and middleweight right-arm divisions.

Six games into the WHL season, the outlook was bleak for the 0-6 Kamloops Blazers.

Since that point, the Blazers (9-8-20) have won nine of 13 games and have points in each of their last eight contests, leaving them tied for seventh place in the Western Conference just past the quarter mark of the campaign.

“It’s been a rollercoaster ride,” said defenceman Dawson Davidson, who is third in team scoring with 15 points, including 13 assists.

“Starting 0-6 was a battle, but for us to overcome that and get to where we are now shows how much heart we have on this team.”

Kamloops forward Matt Revel is quietly enjoying a point-agame-season, while Collin Shirley has stolen the spotlight with 14 goals and 23 points

in 19 games.

“Once you start losing three, four, five or six in a row, you start squeezing the stick a little bit,” said Revel, who has 14 points, including five goals, in 14 games. “The fifth and six losses were definitely the toughest.”

After the sixth defeat, Craig Bonner stepped aside and Kamloops named a new general manager, Stu MacGregor.

He wasted no time in acquiring forward Gage Quinney from the Kelowna Rockets and placing Luke Harrison on waivers to help settle the Blazers’ 20-year-old dilemma.

Quinney, who’s spent time playing on a line with Shirley and Revel of late, has eight goals and 18 points in 12 games with the Blazers.

MacGregor finalized the overage positions by shipping 20-year-old defenceman Marc McNulty to the Moose Jaw Warriors in exchange for 19-year-old

rearguard Dallas Valentine, who has been a nice addition on the back end.

Conversations about the Blazers’ turnaround can’t be had without mention of Connor Ingram, who’s individual play has mirrored that of his team’s, with the netminder having found his game after a tough start.

“When we were struggling, I knew if I just kept doing my thing, eventually, it was going to come around,” said Ingram, whose .899 save percentage has risen steadily in recent weeks.

“When you’re in the zone, I guess it’s a whole other place, really. You dial it in and go from a person to an athlete. It’s a whole other level of who you are, and your personality. It’s a completely different level.”

Maintaining their torrid pace will be a tough ask.

WolfPack, Broncos not worried From A14

He isn’t concerned about any long-term impacts from having played at Hillside.

“It has never crossed my mind and, even watching that video [The Turf War] yesterday, what they say, I agree more with the people and the doctors that aren’t so worried about it,” the 22-yearold Revelstoke native said.

“Personally, it’s not a huge worry for myself.”

The potential health concerns of crumb rubber have also drawn the attention of the United States government, with Democratic senators Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Bill Nelson of Florida calling on the Consumer Product Safety Commission to lead an “independent investigation into the health risks of crumb rubber.”

“Current available evidence does not suggest a significant health risk,” Dr. Kamran Golmohammadi, medical health officer with the Interior Health Authority, told KTW. “However, some of the recent anecdotal observations [including those in The Turf War] have raised new questions. We have been in contact with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control to determine if conducting a new province-wide or national review is warranted for the assessment of the safety of using rubber crumbs in artificial turf.”

Golmohammadi referred to the most recent Canadian report on the product, published by Toronto Public Health in April 2015, which found “the benefits from increased physical activity

on fields are expected to outweigh the risks from exposure to toxic substances.

“Available evidence does not indicate that playing on third generation artificial turf will result in exposure to contaminants at levels that pose a significant risk to human health, provided it is properly installed and maintained and users follow simple hygienic practices (for example, washing hands, avoiding eating on the artificial field and removing dust from shoes and clothing before going indoors),” the report reads.

“While there are still some uncertainties regarding impacts from exposure to some substances found in artificial turf . . . standard hygienic measures will minimize any of these risks.”

Ingestion, dermal absorption and inhalation are among the exposure routes explored in the study.

The report admits, however, there are still information gaps, including the impacts of exposure to lead and other metals found in turf systems, as well as the impact of low-level exposures during early childhood.

In Kamloops, Hillside Stadium is used predominantly by older athletes, with the Thompson Rivers WolfPack soccer teams and the Kamloops Broncos junior football club among the most frequent tenants.

Officials for those clubs are keeping an eye on the situation but aren’t panicking until they see conclusive evidence of any risk.

“I’ve heard very little on it, to be honest with you,” said Tom McManus, head coach of the women’s soccer team at TRU.

“Nothing has been proven or has come out. If there was a concern about it, then obviously I’d be going to the city to try and get different stuff in there or try and get grass, even.”

Dino Bernardo, president of the Kamloops Broncos football club, echoed McManus.

“You’re always concerned about something like that but, until someone actually provides a study or shows us anything, I don’t know how we would really look at it,” he said.

“For us, it’s a concern if it should be a concern, if there were studies or anything that has been done.”

For now, officials in Kamloops are continuing to monitor the situation. Should studies establish a link between crumb-rubber turf fields and serious health concerns, it won’t just be the Tournament Capital that needs to make changes.

“It’s standard — there’s probably 10,000 play fields in North America that use it. So, if there ever is any evidence, it will be an industry-wide issue,” Putnam said.

“We have no reason to be concerned at this point but we are monitoring it. We’re talking to our suppliers and the industry is keeping everyone in the loop.

Like I said, we’ll keep our eye on it and, in the meantime, as far as we’re concerned, all our facilities are safe to use.”

Lions’ Buono reflects on season, Harris’ comments GM DECLINES SPECULATION ON HIS, COACH TEDFORD’S FUTURES

JOSHUA CLIPPERTON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

SURREY — B.C. Lions’ general manager Wally Buono said Andrew Harris voicing his seasonlong frustration following the club’s playoff exit won’t impact contract negotiations with the impending free agent.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t going to be repercussions.

“Where it has a negative effect is . . . in the locker-room,’’ Buono said Wednesday. “You don’t think we’re frustrated with all this?’’

The Lions’ roller-coaster 7-11 regular season culminated in a 35-9 beating at the hands of the Calgary Stampeders in the CFL’s West Division final on Sunday.

As he joined teammates in cleaning out lockers less than 24 hours later, Harris told reporters that “the amount of effort and things I’ve put into this club . . . hasn’t been reflected the same way back to me.’’

Despite finishing second in the league in rushing and first in yards from scrimmage, the 28-year-old Winnipeg native felt ignored at times in the offensive scheme, adding the “writing’s

kind of on the wall’’ after six seasons in B.C. Buono said he had “a candid conversation’’ with Harris this week and left the door open for his return but, speaking in general terms, it was clear he wasn’t pleased with the airing of dirty laundry in public.

“You’re going to go through your ups and downs, but you’re a professional athlete, you’re a professional coach, you’re a professional GM,’’ Buono said at his end-of-season press conference.

“I don’t stand up here every week and show my frustrations on why we won or why we lost.

You’ve got to be enough of a pro that you can’t do that. Your body language can’t be so evident.

“I always say: ‘I don’t want to see your body language tell me if you’ve been successful or a failure, because if you can tell me, everybody else can see it.’’’

Buono added that the dollars have to make sense for Harris to return to the Lions in 2016.

“There’s a salary cap,’’ he said.

“If a player’s demand is higher than what we can pay or higher than we feel is warranted, then you’ve got to make a decision.’’

The Lions were also blown out in last year’s playoffs and replaced head coach Mike Benevides with Jeff Tedford, who had an extensive resume in U.S. college football, but had not worked in the CFL in more than 20 years.

“Jeff was brought here for specific reason: to make this football club into a winning organization,’’ said Buono. “But, at the end of it, we were 7-11 and we went to Calgary and couldn’t get the job done.’’

Buono has a contract through 2017, but would not speculate on his or Tedford’s future before meeting with team president Dennis Skulsky and owner David Braley. The Lions are 0-4 in the playoffs since Buono stepped aside as coach following the club’s 2011 Grey Cup victory.

“The last four years we’ve kind of regressed every year,’’ he said.

“If this year was rock bottom then so be it, but what happens from today forward, we’ve got to look at how we’re going to put our organization in the best position to improve and to win.’’

Buono also touched on the future of veteran quarterback Travis Lulay, who lost the starting

job to rookie Jonathon Jennings after going down with a knee injury in September. The 32-yearold Lulay dealt with injuries to his throwing shoulder over the previous two seasons, but is eager to keep playing.

“Travis is an intelligent guy, he takes things to heart,’’ said Buono. “Would the organization like to have him back? Yes, but part of that is depending on what his goals are, what his objectives are.’’

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, If I knew it would be the last time Young or old alike, that I see you walk out the door, And today may be the last chance I would give you a hug and kiss You get to hold your loved one tight.

And call you back for one more.

So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, If I knew it would be the last time Why not do it today?

I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, For if tomorrow never comes, so I could play them back day after day. You’ll surely regret the day, That you didn’t take that extra time If I knew it would be the last time, For a smile, a hug, or a kiss I could spare an extra minute And you were too busy to grant To stop and say “I love you,” someone, Instead of assuming you would KNOW What turned out to be their one last I do. wish.

If I knew it would be the last time So hold your loved ones close today, I would be there to share your day, Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, And whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them so I can let just this one slip away.

And that you’ll always hold them dear For surely there’s always tomorrow Take time to say “I’m sorry,” To make up for an oversight, “Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” or And we always get a second chance “It’s okay.”

To make everything just right.

And if tomorrow never comes, There will always be another day You’ll have no regrets about today.

To say “I love you,” © Norma Cornett Marek ~ 1989 And certainly there’s another chance To say our “Anything I can do?”

If I knew it would be the last time That I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly And pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

Weddings, on the other hand, show a definite spike in June, July, August and September.

The number of births rise a bit starting in March.

Go figure!

The Ship

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is on object of beauty & strength & I stand & watch her, until at length, she is only a speck of white cloud just wheret he seas & sky meet and mingle with each other. Then someone at my side exclaims, “There, she’s gone!”

Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large as she was when she left my side & just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of her destination. Her diminished size is in me, not her.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone, there are other eyes watching for her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout “There she comes!”.

Pondering the problem of pornography “The man who feeds his lust will never know peace.”

— Bhagavadgita

I

don’t think anyone can deny pornography is a huge problem.

The statistics show the use of pornography between Christian men (including pastors) and non-Christian men is almost identical — about 50 per cent.

Internet porn is turning men into pathetic wankers — and that’s pretty sad.

The aftermath of porn viewing — guilt, shame, embarrassment, feeling like a hypocrite, feeling like a failure as a man — takes a huge emotional toll and can destroy marriages.

Author John Eldredge writes in Wild at Heart: “What makes pornography so addictive is that more than anything

else in a lost man’s life, it makes him feel like a man without ever requiring a thing from him.

“The less a guy feels like a real man in the presence of a real woman, the more vulnerable he is to porn.”

I think there is a lot of truth in this idea.

To have someone sexually available at any time you desire, who makes no demands whatsoever, emotional or otherwise, is incredibly seductive.

Men, more so

than women, are designed to be visually stimulated by the female form, so protecting oneself from the temptation of lust, only a couple of mouse clicks away, can be very difficult.

The root for the word “pornography” is pornae, a Latin term for a sex slave.

Slaves of both sexes were sold to brothels and lived out their lives servicing customers.

The irony of modern-day pornography, however, is that porn stars are paid for their “acting,” while the real slaves are those who are addicted to watching it.

The Bible has a lot to say about the sin of lust.

In older commentaries, it was called “concupiscence,” literally a strong desire of a sexual nature.

Some have even speculated that the Apostle Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” that tor-

room, where anyone walking by can see what is on the screen.

Throw the computer away.

Cancel the Internet.

Get counselling.

Find an accountability buddy who will agree to receive a daily email from you with a record of every website you’ve visited that day (there are plenty of commercial products out there to help with this, such as Covenant Eyes or x3watch).

Porn is a cancer and it’s going to take radical surgery to eliminate it.

Psalm 101 says: “I will walk in my house with a blameless heart, I will set no vile thing before my eyes.”

Your own house is the place where you need to be walking with purity.

The vileness of pornography is something no man of integrity should set before his eyes.

Men — listen up — this is important.

You can’t un-see what you’ve seen.

But, when lust comes knocking, don’t invite it in.

In fact, don’t even answer.

Next summer, when you encounter women at the beach wearing practically nothing, what do you do?

Glance, don’t gaze.

Make a “covenant with your eyes” to look away — immediately — when you come across anything that leads to lust.

A real man is one who is the master of his sexuality.

body to be thrown into hell.”

Jesus did not see any difference between actual adultery and visual adultery.

Why? Because lust is at the root of both sins.

His eye-gouging advice is generally considered hyperbole (and I haven’t seen many one-eyed men in all my years of going to church).

So, what does he really mean, then?

Take. Drastic. Action.

The Book of Hebrews says: “In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood.”

In other words, no one is forcing you, at the point of a knife, to watch porn.

If you’re still watching it, you are not trying hard enough.

Take drastic action.

What’s drastic?

mented him frequently was concupiscence.

It makes sense given how strongly he rails against “fleshly desires.”

Even Job, one of the most righteous men ever to walk the face of the earth, had to deal with a “wandering eye” problem.

He says: “I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl.”

Jesus’ opinion on lust was very clear and the language he used is graphic, even shocking.

In the Sermon on the Mount, he says: “You have heard it said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ But, I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

“If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole

Editor: Re: Michael Fenemore’s Nov. 6 column (‘Don’t believe everything you read — even in the Bible’): What a bunch of drivel.

It does not even deserve a response, but I will make two points: 1. Since Fenemore believes he is refuting the Bible, why use scripture (1 Thessalonians 5:21) to make a completely out of context’ point?

2. The Bible is not a scientific document. It was not inspired to be read as a technical manual.

If you don’t have ears to hear, you are simply a denier who has never chosen to understand God’s word.

That’s your choice and you can make the same choice about all the falsehoods that theoretical science has historically documented.

By the way, the whole

Christians believing in a flat earth nonsense is not even used by educated atheists because it has always been a lie and they have lost every debate.

Furthermore, Fenemore’s out of context scripture references are selective, circular and strawmen.

THOUGHTS FROM THE CAST

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

H

eidi Verwey is a bit nervous about the upcoming production of The Mail Order Bride.

The theatre-arts teacher at Thompson Rivers University is a veteran at directing plays — just never one where the playwright is still alive, as is Robert Clinton, who created the Canadian classic The Mail Order Bride.

The Regina-born Clinton, however, crafted a script that is Shakespearean in its epic nature. Yet, it is capable of taking the audience through a range of emotions from humour to sadness as it tells the story of three generations of a Prairie family, of love and loss, of life on the farm in Saskatchewan, the reality settlers faced — and of the eternal quest for happiness.

“I thought it was some simple little farm story,” Verwey said.

But, after reading the play, she discovered a script rich in words with double meanings, one that “turns on itself” and that has seen the eight-member cast, as well as Verwey, “crying during rehearsals for each other and with each other. But, then, we’re laughing our guts out.”

Her cast, smaller

ON STAGE WHAT: The Mail Order Bride by Robert Clinton WHEN: Nov. 26 to Nov. 28 and Dec. 3 to Dec. 5 WHERE: Black Box Theatre in the Old Main Building at Thompson Rivers University TICKETS: Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca or by calling 250-377-6100. Tickets are also available at the box office next to the campus theatre.

than Verwey often has for her contribution to the annual Actors Workshop Theatre season, is composed of eight actors, one in her second year of studies, others in their final years and two alumni — Wyatt Purcha and Derek Rein — who have become more than actors but mentors for younger members.

“They are the smartest people I’ve ever worked with,” Verwey said of the returning alums.

“They’re just so great

and they have brought so much to this.”

The rest of the cast includes Pamela Tulliani, Taran Waterous, Ashley Hiibner, Graham Ash and Brittney Martens.

While she hasn’t changed the script, Verwey has added an element, largely the result of Clinton’s stage directions.

She’s added Krystine Lucas, a stage manager who won’t be behind the scenes but out front with the actors, reading Clinton’s direc-

It isn’t easy for the cast of The Mail Order Bride to sum up in a three words why they love the Robert Clinton play that opens on campus next week.

They each gave a valiant try, however.

Taran Waterous said he was most intrigued with the multi-generational aspect of the story, one of a Prairie farm family told through three generations.

Brittney Marteans said that, while the many generations is intriguing, she loves how the stories are told from four different time periods, spanning from 1908 to 1956.

Pam Tulliani said the difficult situations presented in the play resonate with her, the reality families can “face rough patches, but they fine ways to overcome it.”

For Ashley Hiibner, having the stage manager character sharing the audience side of the production adds another layer to the multi-layered, rich script.

Graham Ash said he at first thought the script would be difficult to follow, but he’s confident the cast has “worked hard and we’ve all had ideas to make it simpler for the audience to follow” as the stories overlap each other.

Wyatt Purcha said it was his own character that he found the most intriguing, with the realization “that the biggest, toughest person is turned into something soft and weak by the most delicate person.”

— Dale Bass

Wyatt Purcha (top, second from the left) said his character in The Mail Order Bride is tough, but turns soft. He and seven other cast members will perform the show at the Black Box Theatre on Nov. 26.

tions, words that in themselves are not just instructions for the actors, but which also help paint a picture for the audience of what they’re about to see.

Verwey said Clinton’s play is more of a minimalist venture, something Purcha pointed out during rehearsals when he told her she’s more toned down with this year’s production.

“He said ‘You’re not throwing it all at the show. You took all the stuff away but you left the heart’,” she said.

“And, he’s right.”

It means bigger parts for the smaller cast, more words to learn and not recite, but into which they breathe life.

To do that, the cast and crew have spent

503 Victoria Street • 250-372-3911

parts of rehearsal times talking to each other as if they’re the characters they play — the farmer and his mail-order bride, their daughter, grandson and his wife and the farmer/narrator — all to add nuances to their performances.

The Mail Order Bride isn’t a play for someone who wants to sit and simply be entertained.

With overlapping stories, it needs an audience that is engaged and listening as the cast presents a story that can be summed up simply as “your family’s your family,” Verwey said.

“It’s heartbreakingly beautiful. Not all of them have happy endings, but how they get there is perfect and beautiful.”

Players show they’re in it for love of theatre DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When the actor on stage is someone you know, but you only see the character being portrayed, it’s a good bet you’re in for some great theatre.

I know Tammy Caza, one of the leads in the Kamloops Players production of Harvey — but I didn’t recognize her.

She was Veta Louise Simmons, sister to Elwood P. Dowd and a woman tired of sharing her home and her life with an invisible, sixfoot-one-and-a-halfinch white rabbit.

And, like Veta, there was a point in the performance when I thought I saw Harvey the rabbit heading out the doors, perhaps bound for Charlie’s Place or some other watering hole where he could find some friends.

It can be challenging presenting a story that, for many of my generation, invokes memories of the 1950 film, with James Stewart in the role of the Dowd.

Was there ever a movie starring Stewart that didn’t become iconic?

Playwright Mary Chase won a Pulitzer

Prize for Drama in 1945 for her script, one she struggled to write, taking two years to finally complete it.

When it opened on Broadway on Nov. 1, 1944, it was an instant hit, continuing to run until Jan. 15, 1949.

That meant 1,775 performances, making it the sixth longestrunning play on Broadway.

Players director Sharon Huuha has assembled a great cast that brings a real energy to the story of Harvey, starting with Mark Faliszewski as Elwood P. Dowd.

As everyone else schemes and complains about Elwood and his friend, he’s the calm in the storm, the man who, at one point, tells Dr. William Chumley (Laurel Brewer), head of the sanitarium: “I’ve wrestled with reality for 35 years, doctor, and I’m happy to state I finally won out over it.”

Brewer brings the perfect amount of arrogance his character requires, making his eventual collapse when he meets Harvey all the more jarring.

Darcy Gorrill is his wife, Betty Chumley, and, although she has just a few scenes, Gorrill brings that

20 15 /20 16 se as on

KTW

REVIEW same rarified-upperclass-entitlement attitude that complements Chumley’s arrogance.

The interaction between Marta Oraniewicz as Nurse Kelly and Matthew Coutu-Moya as Dr. Lyman Sanders, Chumley’s associate, is perfect.

You sit there wondering if they really don’t like each other — or if there’s a secret liaison going on.

Avery Reid is Veta’s greedy, scheming daughter Myrtle Mae — and, while she looks prim and proper, her scheming and manipulation of her mother is a delight to watch unfold.

Aaron Butowski is Duane Wilson, one of the sanitarium staff — definitely a hands-on kid of employee — and casting local comedian Aaron Butowski is perfect.

Nathaniel Lebans is the Simmons/ Dowd family lawyer Judge Omar Gaffney, a doddering and easily fooled blowhard who is an integral part in the let’s-commit-Elwood scheme. Liz Eckering is Ethel Chauvenet, an overdressed and

gossipy friend of the family.

Greg Dueck is E.J. Lofgren, the cab driver

whose main reason for existing isn’t to collect the $2.75 cab fare he’s owed, but to bring in

that critical moment of understanding for Veta when he tells her of patients he’s driven home from the sanitarium and each is a “perfectly normal human being and you know what stinkers they are.”

Kamloops Players is a troupe of amateur actors who do theatre simply because they love it — and it shows in this production.

Harvey opened yes-

Curtain times are 8 p.m. each day, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Nov. 28.

Physiotherapy DRY NEEDLING / IMS

Trigger points, often a component of muscle & fascia pain syndrome, are irritable, hard ‘knots’ within a muscle that may cause pain over a large area. Dry needling may release the tight muscle bands and decrease pain.

IMS (Intra-Muscular Stimulation) is a treatment technique that uses fine solid needles (acupuncture-like needles) to treat tight, shortened, tensed-up muscles, muscle bands which are contributing towards abnormal function of the nervous system.

RADIAL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY

Certain chronic musculoskeletal and orthopaedic conditions have a hard time healing due to the development of unhealthy, disorganized tissue in the are of injury. Over time, this dysfunctional tissue limits the body’s ability to repair.

LOCAL VIEWS

Like Christians moderate Muslims cherry pick

O

f course our hearts go out to the people of Paris, especially those who were victims of last week’s outrageous attack.

As one would expect, it has been widely condemned by most, including so-called “moderate” Muslims.

However, if we want to have an honest conversation about this latest atrocity, as well as the many others carried out by Islamic fundamentalists around the world, we have to acknowledge the connection to Islam and its fundamentalist adherents is unmistakable.

Let me quote from the statement from ISIS regarding the attacks: “In the Name of Allah, the most merciful, the most beneficent Allah (ta’ala) said, they thought their fortresses would protect them from Allah but Allah came upon them from where they had not expected and he cast terror into their hearts so they destroyed their houses by their own hands and the hands of the believers.

So, take warning O people of vision [Al-Hashr:2].

In a blessed battle whose causes of success were enabled by Allah, a group of believers from the soldiers of the Caliphate (may Allah strengthen and support it) set out targeting the capital of prostitution and vice, the lead carrier of the cross in Europe — Paris.

BILL LIGERTWOOD

Rational

THOUGHTS This group of believers were youth who divorced the worldly life and advanced toward their enemy hoping to be killed for Allah’s sake, doing so in support of his religion, his prophet (blessing and peace be upon him) and his allies.

They did so in spite of his enemies.

Thus, they were truthful with Allah — we consider them so — and Allah granted victory upon their hands and cast terror into the hearts of the crusaders in their very own homeland.

Allah blessed our brothers and granted them what they desired.

They detonated their explosive belts in the masses of the disbelievers after finishing all their ammunition.

We ask Allah to accept them amongst the martyrs and to allow us to follow them.”

This is only a couple of paragraphs. There is much more to it and the entire statement is available online.

I would urge those who doubt the motivation for these attacks to read the entire statement.

It’s time to get our collective heads out of

our collective rear ends and realize the religion itself and its fundamentalist adherents are the problem.

We are not supposed to criticize religion of any kind, no matter how crazy the beliefs.

It seems the majority of moderate Muslims demand respect for a religious doctrine that not only condones, but encourages these kinds of attacks.

The holy book is full of verses calling for death to the infidels.

However, moderate Muslims cherry pick the good stuff and ignore the really bad stuff, as do Christians.

The Bible is also chock full of violence and mayhem.

So, perhaps instead of defending religious belief simply because it’s religious belief, it’s time we recognize that not only should it be criticized but, in the case of Islamic extremism, the book on which it is based should be thrown on the scrap heap of history, along with the Bible and most of the other bronze-age fairy tales some humans seem to need.

We must not be afraid to criticize these ideas, but we must also be careful not to demonize our fellow citizens.

Millions of Muslims are just as disgusted by these actions as we are; however, it should be clear to everyone by now this small group of Islamists are not motivated by economic or political reasons.

Notwithstanding the interference of Western countries in this region, which has certainly fostered and abetted ISIS, the attacks in Paris and Beirut were inspired and justified by the teachings of the Qur’an no matter how much moderates jump up and down to try and convince us otherwise.

By doing so, I believe they unwittingly play into the

fundamentalist mindset.

At this point in history, the problem is what is contained in the holy texts not the majority of its followers who probably have never read the book.

Turning our outrage toward every Muslim is doing just what the Islamists want.

Let’s remember Christianity was doing the same thing

only a few hundred years ago and still, today, Christian fundamentalists would like to see a world based on their literal interpretation of the Bible.

But, thanks to the rise of secular reasoning and the rejection of magic and superstition, Western civilization has been able to leave most of the crazy tenets of religion behind.

Should we be afraid?

I am planning to register to take refugees from this madness into my home and I hope you will do the same.

Flu vaccine demand strong; IHA monitoring supply DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Demand for the publicly funded flu shot this year has been

strong, said Pamela DeBruin, Interior Health Authority’s lead for immunization.

The IHA region ordered 220,680 doses of the vaccine this year,

about 10,000 more than was given to the authority last year.

The amount ordered is based on demand from previous years, DeBruin said.

The authority is monitoring the vaccine supply to ensure adequate stocks are available where needed; it can re-allocate vaccine from areas with a surplus to areas that need more.

The publicly funded vaccine is available through the health unit and through physicians and pharmacists.

It’s available to at-risk populations including people 65 and older and their caregivers, people with chronic health conditions and their household contacts, healthcare workers, emergency responders, healthy children between the ages of six months to four, household contacts and caregivers of

children younger than five, pregnant women, residents of nursing homes and chroniccare facilities, owners and operators of poultry farms, aboriginal people, very obese people, corrections

officers and inmates of provincial correctional institutions, people who provide care of service in potential outbreak settings housing high-risk persons (this is described as crews on ships, for

example) and visitors to health-care facilities.

Early reports indicate the vaccine is about 60 per cent effective although the majority of cases occur between December and April.

Students take to the streets Next Monday, students from Sprott-Shaw College will skip class for a while.

Instead, they’ll be out on downtown streets handing out goodies, cups of hot chocolate, maybe even some mittens and tuques.

Early-childhood education student Hailey Wilsher said

what started as a small idea has grown as other classes at the Victoria Street institution learned of her plan. McDonald’s has donated cups and lids, the college gave her some money and students are adding to the fund to help buy mittens they can distribute.

The students plan on sharing

their food, drinks and gifts with marginalized people who they see many days on the downtown streets. They’ll be out from 9:30 a.m. to about 11 a.m., Wilsher said.

Anyone who wants to assist with the project can reach her at 778-470-4469 or 250-6826760.

BRIDAL FAIR

12 TH ANNIVERSARY SUNDAY, JANUARY 31 ST

Why attend a bridal fair?

Meet, discuss & compare

Bridal fairs are a great one stop shop for brides and grooms.

You will have the opportunity to meet with exhibitors, sample their products, set up meetings and compare with other exhibitors.

Time saver

Instead of scouring the Internet, travelling from shop to shop, making numerous calls and setting up various appointments, attend a bridal fair and meet and compare all of the vendors in one place.

What could have potentially taken you weeks or months to do, can all be rolled into a few hours.

Fashion shows

See what those dresses look like on real people!

Bridal fair fashion shows offer a great opportunity to get ideas about what you want before you head into the dress store so that you know where to start.

By knowing what you like, it will help you narrow down your perfect dress.

Also, take note of all of the accessories and flowers that are paired with the dresses to get ideas for your wedding.

Samples

Exhibitors are there to showcase what they offer, so they bring lots of samples.

From bakeries and caterers to photographers and décor companies, you will be able to compare products and sample what each company has to offer.

This will help you make decisions about what company to go with for your big day.

Save money

Many exhibitors will offer show discounts or specials for registering for their product at the show.

This can really help your budget if you are ready to make some decisions at the show.

There are also give-

aways and prizes to be won from exhibitors and vendors.

Stress buster

ing out, exhibitors will assist in building on your ideas with creativity and innovation.

Attending bridal fairs can help in bringing your stress level down. Many exhibitors will offer advice, planning guides, budget worksheets, catalogues, etc. to assist with your planning. Plus you would be amazed at what you can get accomplished in a mere hour at a bridal fair.

Creative ideas

Bridal fairs are a great place to collect creative ideas and insights about what is trending in the industry. Whether you already have a theme and colours picked, or if you are just start-

B15

Have fun

Make bridal fair a fun day out with your groom, wedding party, or even your parents.

The bridal fair is a great bonding experience where you can dedicate time to discussing the details and gaining the opinions of those you trust.

Bring your groom

Don’t let the stereotypes get in the way — more and more men are getting involved.

Bridal fairs are a great way to get your groom involved.

It only takes a small time commitment from them and they will get the chance to

participate and get involved in so many aspects of the wedding.

They can help with decision making and have some input on the big picture. You never know, they may want to get even more involved after!

Giveaways

The best part of all bridal fairs is the abundance of the door prizes and giveaways.

Not only does the show have door prizes and some grand prize giveaways, but often you can put your name in for other draws right at the exhibitor booths.

— Jenn Pallett, events & catering co-ordinator at the TRU Conference Centre

The bridal fair is a great place to see samples from companies, from caterers to photographers.

There are up to 60 exhibitors at the bridal fair, all equipped with their latest and greatest.

First, congratulations on your engagement. One of the most classic and traditional celebrations that has forever been a day that little girls, teenagers, and now you, the bride to be have envisioned for themselves, is the wedding day.

Whether you are the girl who started scrapbooking and collecting ideas for your special day when you were in Grade 5, or you are the girl who didn’t know dresses came in white until he was down on one knee, there is one important aspect of planning a wedding that will need to be considered.

That is, unlike the one-sided nuptials of the past, weddings have become a celebration and reflection of both the bride and the groom’s tastes and personalities. Besides, how can this be the best day of your life if it is not also the best day of his life?

According at a 2013 study conducted by David’s Bridal, 83 per cent of grooms are actively making decisions about their weddings, which means you need to find a way to incorporate your husband-to-be on your special day so it is a reflection of your relationship, not your Pinterest fantasy. Here are the five ways to do this: 1. Get him involved: For those fiancés who would love to just show up the day of and leave the rest to you, getting him involved in the wedding is still important.

Though this is a celebration for the both of you, resist the urge to drag him to every florist, photographer interview, and food tasting, unless he wants to, of course.

Instead, give him a task, which is his responsibility.

Does he have a great taste in music? Get him to select a DJ and work with them to create the perfect playlist. Is he a foodie? He can set up the food tastings and help select the menu.

2. Give him a win: Then there is the man who cares almost as much as you do about the wedding.

Dear Bride, even if you micromanage everything else, you need to give him a win.

You may have a particular vision for the wedding and his suggestions simply don’t fit with that, but giving your fiancé a victory, letting his choice come out on top will make him feel like he has some say.

3. A hint of him: Without going over the top, incorporate something recognizable about

him, like his job or his favorite band, into the décor, the menu, script or other part of the wedding. This small detail should be a major and wellknown aspect of his life, that way your guests will know why you have incorporated Harry Potter-style invitation scrolls and goblets instead of wine glasses.

4. Be yourself: Another way to ensure that he is enjoying himself just as much as you are is to keep your wedding a reflection of who you are and remind him of the things he loves about you.

Though this may be the only time you would ever get the opportunity to party at the Plaza Ballroom in New York, it is probably not your best venue choice if you fell in love with your fiancé over your mutual fondness for the great outdoors and hunting.

Likewise, choosing a dress and make-up style that suits you will make him feel more comfortable. If you have never worn red lipstick in your life, your wedding day is not the day to start.

Celebrity makeup artist Joanna Schlip says, “you should look like the best version of yourself, simply accentuated with makeup, so that your groom recognizes you when you’re walking down the aisle.”

5. From you to him: We have all seen the viral videos of impossibly impressive choreographed dances, skits, and songs that a bride or groom has surprised their beloved with, much to the delight of the wedding guests.

I think most of us actually detest the idea of adding a rigorous dance routine into the planning and enjoyment of our wedding, but there is something to be said about this trend of surprising your groom by giving him something special.

Surprise your husband on his wedding day with a gift that shows him just how much you know him to make his day that much more memorable.

Focusing on the wedding as an event — a ceremony, a dinner and a party — can be stressful. Focusing instead on your wedding as an amazing experience for your husband-to-be and your guests to celebrate your love will help you to make decisions leading up to the big day.

It is important to remember that in the end it will be perfect, as long as you both are happy.

COMMUNITY BC LUNG ASSOCIATION: MYTHS ABOUT TOBACCO ADDICTION

significant risk to your heath, according to the research.

3. Natural tobacco is safe.

There is a major misperception by smokers that the problem with tobacco is the industry and that organic or natural tobacco is healthier.

Unfortunately, this is just not the case.

The main danger from smoking tobacco is the smoke itself — not the additives.

Inhaling smoke of any kind causes respiratory disease and cancer. As many as 600 chemical additives are in commercial tobacco and many

of these chemicals are harmful in their own right. However, while it is true commercial tobacco is almost certainly worse than natural tobacco, natural tobacco is still extremely dangerous.

4. Once a smoker, always a smoker.

Today in Canada, there are twice as many former smokers than current smokers.

5. I’ve tried everything. I just can’t do it.

Quitting is not easy and very few people manage to quit on their first, second or even third time. According to one study, it can take up to 30 attempts to finally quit successfully. It might seem like a lot, but the longer you stay smoke-free, the better your chances.

After one day, odds improve 11 per cent; after one month, 24 per cent; and after one year, 71 per cent.

To round out Canada’s National Addictions Week, which ends on Sunday, the BC Lung Association is addressing dangerous myths about tobacco and tobacco addiction.

1. The damage is already done.

No matter how old you are or how long you have smoked, everyone has something to gain from quitting tobacco. In general, the less you smoke and the sooner you quit, the better for your overall health.

However, long-term smokers can reap rewards by quitting.

Research has shown risk of premature death reduced by 28 per cent for people smokers who quit in their 60s.

2. A few cigarettes a day won’t hurt.

The Canadian War Museum A place for remembering

JAMES ROSS

FOR TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES

“In Flanders fields the poppies blow between the crosses, row on row.”

There are special moments all over Canada every year at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

It is a day of national commemoration for the more than 100,000 Canadians who have died in military service.

One exceptional place to visit on this important day is The Canadian War

Museum, located near downtown Ottawa.

With its prizewinning and richly symbolic architecture, this was the city’s most visited museum last year.

Designed by architect Raymond Moriyama, every inch of the museum building is purposefully conceived, from the poppies on the grass roof in the spring to the Morse cod” windows that spell out “lest we forget” in both French and English.

On Remembrance Day, the sun shines through the single window in Memorial

Hall to illuminate, at exactly 11 a.m., the smooth headstone of the Unknown Soldier.

The museum does not glorify war, and though it hints at the horror, it does not overwhelm you with the tragedy.

It is a museum that will interest the whole family, where, despite the dramatic context, the exhibits seem to tell the story in manageable pieces.

I roam through

the galleries in the bunker-like building.

Exhibits start with our First Nations history and our new nation’s early struggles, and extend through the World Wars, the Cold War and more recent conflicts.

Canada’s rich military history is showcased through artefacts, personal stories, artwork, photos and interactive presentations.

that’s the architecture again.

The galleries are designed to be a bit disorientating.

The walls are crooked and sounds from one room carry over to the next.

I stand chillingly close to Hitler’s bullet-proof MercedesBenz limo.

Above, hanging from the rafters, are the Halifax bombers, with their nose art that conveys the bravado of the pilots.

exhibits.

The stories inspire and touch me.

The LeBreton Gallery houses an impressive collection of war machinery, including a German midget submarine, tanks, support vehicles and a Voodoo Interceptor fighter jet.

Each time I have visited this remarkable museum, the only thing I’ve found lacking is time.

It is not a place that one tends to rush through, so a couple of hours wandering seem to disappear far too fast.

This year the war museum celebrated its 10th Anniversary.

“Over the past 10 years, we’ve brought stories of courage, sacrifice and sorrow to Canadians, and they have responded with unwavering support,” said Mark O’Neill, president and CEO of the museum.

engage visitors in a discussion of the First World War’s impact on our country. Just opened, and running until March, is A Time to Serve — Canadian Women and Total War, a look at the enormous contributions made by women to the Canadian war efforts.

In May 2016, Air War will open, exploring Canada’s contributions to new tech-

nologies and strategies such as aerial observation, artillery spotting, ground support and the dogfights that contributed significantly to the outcome of both world wars.

There are a few other landmarks in our capital that take prominence during Remembrance Day activities.

On your visit, don’t miss the National

War Memorial, where Corporal Nathan Cirillo lost his life last October 2014, in a tragic shooting that shocked the nation, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the resting site of an unidentified Canadian soldier, who had been buried in a cemetery in France during the First World War. There are also two new sites introduced

this year in Ottawa.

In late summer 2015, a new monument opened near the Supreme Court of Canada entitled Memorial to the Victims of Communism — Canada, a Land of Refuge, and in late fall 2015, the new National Holocaust Monument will be unveiled on a site near the Canadian War Museum.

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!

Parade set for Saturday, Nov. 28, with prizes for best floats The Santa Claus Parade has toured downtown Kamloops for more than 30 years and this year is no different.

The parade is set for Saturday, Nov. 28 with the theme of musical madness.

“We always try to come up with something different for a theme, something where people can take the theme and try and run with it in lots of different directions,” said Gay Pooler, general manager of the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association.

“We just thought, because we like to have lots of music in the parade, why not something like that?

People can kind of interpret that in different ways.”

Seventy-five spots are available and Pooler said most are taken. Between 10,000 and 20,000 people are expected to line Victoria Street for the event.

The day will start with the waking up of Santa at 10:30 a.m. at Gaglardi Square.

The parade runs from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., starting at Second Avenue and St. Paul Street., travelling north to Victoria Street and then east, ending at Sixth Avenue.

Three categories will honour the best floats, with four prizes in each.

There is a category for large, commercial floats, a category for youth and child participants and a category for novelty entries.

Kamloops Search and Rescue and Rotary volunteers will once again play a part in making the parade successful.

Viewers are encouraged to take transit downtown as parking will be limited, with several streets blocked off. For float-building tips or a map of the parade route, go online to kcbia.com.

The artisan fair and craft show Christmas at the Square runs today from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. and tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Countdown to Christmas craft sale is Dec. 5 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. with everything under $20. St. Andrews on the Square will also host the United Way’s Homes for the Holidays reception on Saturday, Nov. 28, and Sunday, Nov. 29. Tickets for the annual fundraiser can be purchased online at homesfortheholidayskamloops.ca. More info on page D6.

Lumiere Parade to light up downtown streets There is one week left to take part in the biennial Lumière Lantern Festival workshops leading to the colourful parade on the night of Nov. 26.

The festival sees participants light up the night with handmade lanterns of various sizes, shapes, colours and themes.

They create the lanterns at workshops and join the end-of-month parade, which will wind its way through the downtown core during Lights in the Night celebrations.

The last Kamloops Arts Council (KAC) workshop will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 24, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Lansdowne Village (unit 210 next to Spitfire Computers).

“It’s kind of a way to lift the spirits right before the holidays,” said KAC executive director Kathy Sinclair.

“I think, too, it’s just about the community coming together for celebration.”

MON—SAT @ 10AM SUNDAYS @ NOON

Using their own creativity, along with simple materials such as glass jars, wire, tissue paper, paint and glue, participants can make their own lanterns — even over the course of just an hour.

Past parades have included a nine-foot dragon, a canoe, a lit skirt, a lightbulb suit and an assortment of globes.

On the evening of the parade, participants and their lanterns will weave their way through downtown crowds starting at 6:30 p.m., stopping at Stuart Wood elementary for a light-filled celebration featuring special performances by local artists.

The procession will end at St. Andrews on the Square with the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association’s lighting of the Christmas tree. Sinclair said turnout for the parade exceeded their expectations when it was held two years ago, with about 200 people taking part.

Art in the Dark

Also next week is the KAC’s black-light party and fundraiser at The Rex, set for Saturday, Nov. 28 at 7 p.m. The 19-plus event includes performances by Shahrahzad, Nuance Performance Troupe, Black Moon Bellydance, Luna Lumiere Hoop Dance and the Kamloops Power Choir.

Activities include a life-sized Lite Brite, a shadowpuppet theatre show, the KAC’s Wheel of Art and glow-in-the-dark face and body painting as well as glow-in-the-dark communal painting, glow-in-thedark Twister. Admission is $30, which includes all activities and performances. A cash bar and food will also be offered.

Tickets can be bought online at kamloopsarts.ca or at the KAC office in the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, 7 West Seymour St.

Window Wonderland The Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association is teaming up with the Kamloops Arts Council and Kamloops This Week for this year’s holiday window display contest.

The theme is lights and downtown businesses are encouraged to illuminate their displays with bright bulbs and holiday-themed exhibits.

Kamloopsians can vote for their favourite and be entered to win a prize online at downtownkamloops.com. Each window will have a QR code, which you can scan to vote from your cell phone or via text.

The contest, debuting this year, is just another way to encourage residents to experience downtown during the holiday season.

“If you come down in the evening to have dinner and want to walk around and see the window displays — even if the stores aren’t open — it’s just a really cool experience,” said Gay Pooler, general manager of the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association.

The contest will launch at the Lights in the Night downtown Christmas kick off on Nov. 26 and run until Dec. 13.

Look for a map of participating storefronts and photos of all the displays in an upcoming edition of Kamloops This Week.

Gift Certificate CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

Purchase a $75 Gift Card or more and receive a $15 Gift Card to use in January or February. Perfect for stocking stuffers!

Can downtown storefronts top last year’s window displays? These are just some of the Chrismtas designs from 2014. This season readers can vote for their favourite downtown display online at downtownkamloops.com. KTW file photos.

Downtown is...

Heather and Chris Newton are using their homebuilt 3D printer to make light sculptures. Other 3D printers owned by Shawn Lund and Anton Bukreev were buzzing with activity Monday at Kamloops Makerspace.

Makers put technology to work for light installations Kamloops Makerspace opened its doors to help inspire art installation projects for the downtown window display contest and the Kamloops Arts Council’s Lumiere Lantern Festival, holding workshops throughout November.

Partnering with the arts community has been a goal for the makerspace since it moved into its Victoria Street location.

“We are really happy to work with the Arts Council,” said Makerspace cofounder Aras Balali Moghaddam. “It just gives more purpose to what we are doing, which is awesome.”

On Monday, Chris Newton and daughter Heather brought their homemade 3D printer to create custom shades for lamps that alternate colours and play music.

The full-size lamp took eight hours to print but, on Monday, they tried a smaller version over the course of two hours.

It was one of three 3D printers at the makerspace being used to build pieces for downtown art installations.

Some will be used to illuminate empty storefront windows and during the Lumiere Lantern Festival

Kickoff to Christmas: Lights, carols, giveaways Lights in the Night is the official kick-off to the Christmas season in downtown Kamloops on Nov. 26 starting at 4 p.m.

The evening will feature promotions and customerappreciation initiatives from businesses and lighting of the Christmas tree at St. Andrews on the Square at 7:30 p.m.

“We have our merchants are open for business and a lot of them have different activities or parties,” Gay Pooler said.

“The idea is to really enjoy strolling downtown from party to party and check off your Christmas

shopping.”

The Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association also runs the In-it-to-Win-It contest, with prize draws every three minutes and more than 70 items to give away.

The contest is one of downtown Kamloops’ most popular promotions, right behind July’s Taste of Downtown.

Stores will have QR codes for shoppers to scan and be entered in the contest.

Prizes include gift certificates and products from downtown merchants.

For the entire holiday season the KCBIA will be running a social media campaign, where shoppers can also win product by posting their favourite purchases or wishlist items on social media using #fabfinds and #downtownkamloops.

Downtown businesses and the KCBIA will also be using the hashtag to post the week’s best promotions, sales and products leading up to Dec. 25.

Santa will also be frequenting Victoria Street throughout the holiday season, with candy canes to give away to anyone who spots him.

parade but plans to create an interactive light display around street trees are in the works, too.

“To actually have a community of people who are doing it is absolutely amazing,” said Newton.

“You kind of expect to find it in somewhere like Vancouver, but not so much Kamloops.

“It’s actually amazing how big the community is here once people start coming together.”

Kamloops Makerspace holds an open house every Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. at 207 West Victoria St. and runs an active online forum, accessed through kamloopsmakerspace.com.
