Murder victim linked to notorious gangster By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

One of the victims of a 2009 double-murder had ties to a notorious Kamloops gangster, a jury has heard. Roy Fraser is standing trial in B.C. Supreme Court on one count each of first- and second-degree murder in relation to the deaths of Kenneth Yaretz Jr. and Damien Marks. The Crown theory is that Fraser, 56, was upset with Yaretz, 24, who had taken Fraser’s pickup truck and not returned it. Yaretz and Marks, 31, were roommates at

the time of their disappearance in April 2009. Taking the stand on Wednesday, Nov. 13, was Cherie Yaretz, the stepmother of Kenneth Yaretz Jr. Under questioning from Crown prosecutor Joel Gold, she told the 14-person jury that her stepson had once introduced her to Jayme Russell. “I had come to court with Kenny — he’d asked me to come with him,” she said. “There was a break and we were outside and, I’m not sure why they were here, but he introduced me to Jayme Russell and another guy.”

Yaretz said she didn’t know at the time who Russell was, later learning through the media about his high-profile criminal life. Russell, who has been in jail since 2009, was at one point described by police as the head of the Kamloops chapter of the Independent Soldiers street gang. Under cross-examination from defence lawyer Sandy Watt, Yaretz was asked if she knew her unemployed stepson was working as a drug dealer. “Did I know for sure he was? No,” she replied.

“You were concerned he was, though, weren’t you?” Watt then asked. “Yeah,” Yaretz replied. “You’re concerned for your children. He told me it was all good.” Watt then pressed Yaretz on her stepson’s association with Russell. “Were you ever told by [Ken] Junior that he was a member of that [Independent Soldiers] gang?” Watt asked. “He told me he was not a member,” Yaretz replied. “He just said he knew them — he hung out with them once in a while.” Through his questioning, Watt said Ken

Yaretz Jr. had “serious debt” at the time of his death. In his opening statement to the jury on Nov. 12, Crown prosecutor Tim Livingston said Fraser had been operating a marijuana-grow operation at his Knouff Lake property, where he is alleged to have murdered Yaretz and Marks before burying their bodies in a shallow grave. The jury has been told both men were shot in the back of the head. In previous testimony, court heard Robert Marks, Damien’s father, say his son was acting strange and becoming

agitated in the weeks leading to his disappearance. The elder Marks also said Yaretz had offered to sell him a laptop and a pickup truck at different points in early 2009. The trial is scheduled to last four weeks.

THIS WEEK A report on changing enrolment patterns in Kamloops schools suggests historic Stuart Wood elementary in downtown Kamloops could be closed, with the students moved to the Beattie School of the Arts elementary campus in Sahali once the Beattie secondary campus is transformed into a K to Grade 12 school.

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Enrolment at secondary schools in Kamloops is projected to continue to decline — from the 5,296 in classes this year to 4,855 in 2020. The statistic is one of many included in a report on changing enrolment in Kamloops schools, a document Kamloops-Thompson school district Supt. Terry Sullivan described as a guide for future decisions the board of education will have to make. The report, prepared by assistant superintendent Karl deBruijn, presents several scenarios designed to stabilize the size of classes, including: • Effective

Sullivan: Don’t worrry

Enrolment report suggests many changes Stories by Dale Bass

September 2015, requiring graduating students at Pacific Way elementary to attend Sa-Hali secondary rather than South Kamloops sec-

building. Currently, it holds secondary grades only. One the move is made, the board could close Stuart Wood elementary and relocate

classroom space be regained by introducing mobile labs to replace existing computer labs. It also suggests the school district work

those students to the McGill Road campus of Beattie. DeBrujin identifies Dallas, Pineview Valley, Dufferin and parts of Westsyde as experiencing enrolment growth. The report recommends the Westsyde area continue to be monitored and that

with the city’s planning department to review existing school catchment-area boundaries. The report notes Westsyde secondary has only four feeder schools. The report states: “Westsyde Secondary could become a middle school similar to Brock

ondary; • Effective September 2016, consolidating South Kamloops secondary into one building, allowing Beattie School of the Arts students from kindergarten to Grade 12 to be housed in the former John Peterson secondary

Middle School, offering programming for grades 7-9 with the grade 10-12 students moving to NorKam Secondary. “This would have the combined effects of creating additional classroom space in Westsyde elementary schools and maintaining grade level cohort sizes for secondary programming. This treatment would result in an increased enrolment at NorKam and increased grade cohort sizes such as it had in the past. There would also be the need to transport over 200 students from Westsyde to NorKam. An option similar to this was proposed during the last round of school reconfiguration and was not well received from the public in Westsyde.” The report also rec-

ommends monitoring continue in Dallas area and add portables or additional classrooms to the elementary school. The catchment areas should also be studied and, with continued residential development in the Campbell Creek area, it might require sending students to R.L. Clemitson elementary in Barnhartvale. The report suggests establishing a committee to look at the French-immersion program and how to increase its capacity. Among the possibilities to do this would be adding portables or building new classrooms at South Sa-Hali elementary. Changing other feeder schools to the secondary level are also possible, DeBrujin’s report states.

Those worried an enrolment report and recommendations might lead to changes at their school can relax, said Kamloops-Thompson school district Supt. Terry Sullivan, noting everything hinges on South Kamloops secondary. “There are a lot of ifs here and, if we’re going to do a lot of this stuff, it all depends on getting all the students into South Kamloops secondary (SKSS),” Sullivan said. Students now use classrooms at SKSS and at adjacent Beattie School of the Arts secondary in the former John Peterson secondary building. That move hinges on other factors, including the need to replace SKSS, an old building, and receive funding that has been applied for to do renovations to Beattie secondary, to turn it into a kindergarten-to-Grade 12 facility. The document and its suggestions have been sent to the parent-advisory councils and the district council overseeing it, looking for input. Sullivan said the process being followed now has nothing in common with reports prepared prior to the reorganization in 2008 that saw five schools closed and creation of a middle school. That process involved 33 public meetings that saw more than 5,000 people attend — 1,100 at one meeting alone — and six months’ notice having to be served prior to closures.

Members of the Kamloops Filipino community are doing what they can to raise money to help their typhoon-ravaged homeland. With the number of dead continually increasing — and already more than 2,000 — the priority is to get help there quickly, said Carmelita Chatelaine, a board member with the Filipino-Canadian Association of Kamloops. A friend had planned a vacation to the country that was hit by the storm last week. Typhoon Haiyan has been described as the worst-ever, with winds gusting from 195 m.p.h. to 235 m.p.h. Chatelaine said the man still intends to go to the country on Nov. 26 and will take a money order for whatever amount of cash the community of about 200 families

Outbreak cancels surgeries

in Kamloops is able to raise. “The Red Cross is good,” Chatelaine said, “but, it’s hard to send items. Money is better. And $1,000 in the Philippines is like $40,000. Five dollars, $10. It all adds up.” The local Canadian Red Cross (CRS) office at 943 Victoria St. is also accepting donations and the national organization’s volunteer and health delegate, Christine Hwang, left for the country on Sunday, Nov. 10, to help the Philippine Red Cross. The CRS has set up an email address and website — sos@redcross.org.ph and familylinks.icrc.org— for people to send inquiries about their family and friends. Kamloops-based Developing World Connections (DWC) is also involved in fundraising for the country, asking people to send money to the Rise Above Foundation Cebu, a non-profit that has been involved in international development for more than a decade.

Fourteen surgeries have been cancelled due to an outbreak of clostridium difficile (C. difficile) at Royal Inland Hospital. No more patients have been diagnosed with the condition, which affects the stomach and abdomen. Twelve people were diagnosed earlier; one died, but Interior Health Authority communications officer Michaela Swan said the death was due to other health issues.

It will be sending 10 volunteers to Bantayan Island next week. The home of about 130,000 people has been virtually destroyed and volunteers will be distributing canned goods, water, sleeping mats, soaps, medicines, bandages and tarps to make shelters. Rise Above will also be helping in other communities near Tacloban. Donations can be made to Rise Above at the DWC office, 220-141 Victoria St. on weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., by mail to the office or by phoning 250-434-2525, extension 14. Online donations can be made at developingworldconnections.org. Provincial liquor stores are also accepting donations, which will be forwarded to the Canadian Red Cross relief efforts. Donations of $2 or $5, or multiples of those amounts, can be made at all store checkouts.

The hospital has asked people not needing medical attention limit their visits to RIH. If they do visit the hospital, they are asked to ensure they wash their hands to help curb spreading the bacteria. Those most at risk are older patients whose systems may have been weakened by frequent use of antibiotics, those who take medicines that reduce the acidity in the stomach and patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Program ready for cold weather First night of operation this year saw almost a dozen seek shelter By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

For most of the time Sasha Smode has run the Out of the Cold program, the first shelter night of the year at St. Paul’s Cathedral on Nicola Street has been pretty quiet. That wasn’t the case on Nov. 6, 2013. “I think we had 11 sleep over which, for a first night, is quite huge,” said Smode, operations manager for Out of the Cold. “And then we had more come in and eat and leave.” It usually takes a few weeks for word of the shelter and hot meal program’s re-opening to spread, and another big drop in temperatures to bring out program users who otherwise don’t come indoors for the night. “This year, there’s a lot of new faces and the normal faces that we usually see, we haven’t event gotten them in yet because it’s not cold enough,” said Smode. “Last year, we were full a bunch of nights and I’m predicting this year it’s going to be the same.” Another change will also keep Out of the Cold Volunteers working more often. This year, BC Housing will provide funding to open the emergency shelter whenever the temperature dips down to -7 C, instead of the usual -10 C. Because the program

must secure volunteers and announce the emergency shelter will be open 24 hours in advance, Smode said it relies on weather predictions to determine if a night will meet the coldness threshold. “Basically, we check four weather stations, and, if it says -8, we don’t open,” she said. “But, sometimes it got colder, like -12, but we weren’t open because it only predicted -8. “So, we lost a bunch last year of nights we should have been open.” All told, the emergency shelter only opened about seven times in 2012-2013, the lowest number Smode can remember in five years with the program. She said the lack of openings put pressure on other organizations in the city, as well. “Last year, at -7

we had people waiting outside our doors but we weren’t open and Emerald House was full, calling me and saying ‘We have all these people and nowhere for them to go’,” she said. While there will almost certainly be more emergency nights, Smode said another fixture of Out of the Cold is scaling back this year. The program, organized by the St. Vincent de Paul, will end its Sunday meal compo-

nent to ensure it has the resources it needs to be open in the less-cold weather. “It’s sad,” said Smode, “but, at least we’re doing the -7, so we’re going to be open when they really need it.” Out of the Cold is again seeking volunteers and donations of winter clothing. To get involved, call 250-318-0236 and ask for the volunteer coordinator.

Cathy McLeod words better than Stephen Harper words

N MAY 2009, KTW managing editor Christopher Foulds wrote about Cathy McLeod. In his column, he praised the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP as having “that rarest quality among politicians — when asked a question by a reporter, she offers up an answer devoid of political bafflegab and spoon-fed sentences from party elders.” The story Foulds was referring to was one penned by former KTW reporter Jeremy Deutsch, who asked McLeod how she felt about the attack ads her party was running against thenLiberal leader Michael Ignatieff. I haven’t wandered into his office to ask him this, but it’s likely Foulds might not express the same sentiment today. In fact, it was almost painful interviewing the MP last week for the story on veterans and their concerns about how McLeod’s government is treating them. Give her credit — she found time during the chaos that is our House of Commons debates these days to call KTW to answer questions. But, instead of getting real Cathy McLeod answers to questions, she continually referred to what her party had said, going so far as to provide website links I could go to for answers. She seemed to miss the point. I wanted her answers, her interpretations, her explanations — not talking points and much-vetted PR releases. I wanted Cathy McLeod words, not Stephen Harper words. They finally came at the end of the interview, when McLeod was asked what she would say if she could sit

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL with the two veterans featured in the Nov. 12 story, along with others who provided additional information, and listen to them tell their stories and explain why they feel their government — the one that sent them into conflicts — has failed them in the past, fails them now and will fail them in the future. How would she react if she heard Scott Casey, a veteran who served in the hell that was Sarajevo in the early 1990s, say his view of how veterans are treated by the federal government could be summed up in five words: Delay, deny, hope you die. McLeod started to answer the question three times, each instance stopping and starting again. Finally, there was a long sigh and a simple response. “I would tell them how sad I am to hear that.” Finally, a true Cathy McLeod answer, one with no polish on it, no government spin, perhaps an answer that came from the mother and nurse side of the MP, rather than the smileand-nod-at-all-things-Harper MP side. In Foulds’ column, he praised McLeod’s “mild and honest comments,” and noted the fact her honesty “is seen as revolutionary, as avant garde, as out-

side the norm, is depressing.” Perhaps one of the statements McLeod made during her first run for office, when she took part in an allcandidates town hall, finally made its way into her thoughts. During that 2008 event, the partyappointed former Pemberton mayor who was then making her first foray into the federal field said: “I’m not a Conservative without heart.” It was interesting to read some of the stories and columns KTW published during that federal election. Another column resonated in terms of the story on the veterans’ concerns when, during the first week of the campaign, Harper suspend a staffer who told reporters the father of a slain Canadian soldier in Afghanistan was a card-carrying Liberal. The father had gone public with his concerns about that conflict and his son’s death being in vain. That same column, again penned by Foulds, described McLeod as the unknown candidate who, during the first week of the campaign “as been virtually invisible.” Foulds concluded his column by talking about what the other candidates had been doing. He wrote” And McLeod? She may be waiting for her party to purge itself of inexcusable gaffes before leaving her political cocoon.” Given her responses to the questions about veterans, it seems McLeod might stick her head out a bit once in a while but, for the most part, she’s still in that cocoon — only the shell isn’t silk, but impenetrable steel. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com kamloopsstreetlevel.tumblr.com

A story in the Globe and Mail last week, based on leaked documents, caused quite a stir among those who consider preservation of farmland to be a top priority. The report suggested that in a “core review,” the B.C. government was looking at dismantling the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC), which oversees the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). Also apparently raised in the document was the concept of dividing the ALR into two zones — one for southwestern B.C., the other for the Interior and north. The minister in charge of the government’s review was quick to deny any intention of dissembling the ALC or to have it overruled by the Oil and Gas Commission. That scenario was raised by some in light of issues between the two land-use agencies in regard to oil and gas exploration and extraction in the northern reaches of the province. Bennett maintained the Globe story is based on an old document and that agricultural land commissioners will continue to decide on applications to amend the land reserve, established 40 years ago to protect farmland from development. We find it hard to believe this government — or any other, for that matter — would be so foolhardy as to attempt to dramatically tamper with something so important to the public, and the province. To do so would be political suicide. Is the ALR perfect? No. Could some re-evaluation be made on some unfarmable lands in the Interior and north? Yes. In that context, we’ll be interested to learn what the core review finds and recommends. However, the government now is on the record that it stands firm behind the Agricultural Land Reserve and the commission that oversees it. That will not be forgotten.

Re: Story: Association claims Ajax rebuff: “I’d be happy to attend, provided Ajax has peer-reviewed scientific studies that show their proposal is not bad for my health — and that Ajax will provide me with a copy of those studies.” — posted by Dr. C. Mader “It’s called divide and conquer and it is not a new concept. “Maybe next time Ajax should be a little more discreet about their tactics! “Control and power. It is all they are interested in, obviously!” — posted by Anna

Re: Mental Health Matters column: If I have symptoms, am I mentally ill?: “Thanks. A lot of good information.” — posted by Derfe

Re: Story: Kamloops Airport eyes upgrades: “That Fred Legace is one smart fellow.” — posted by Arnie

Stand up and make a case for Kamloops Editor: Since Premier Christy Clark suggests the Kamloops-Thompson school district “make a case” with respect to one single school in Kamloops, maybe she is clearing the way for us to “make a case” for the entire City of Kamloops with regard to the Ajax mine proposal. Kamloopsians have given no social licence to a mine discouraged by physicians, scientists and other clearthinking people. We can force out the Wicked Witch of Worry that

already stresses most of us if we make our collective voice heard. What an inspirational rally we shared in front of the KGHM Ajax office on Oct. 26. Perhaps the most compelling result was the challenge to mining proponents that they secure a more positive reputation for all B.C. mining by halting the construction of a mine so close to our thriving city. It’s time for everyone to take a stand. If you question where you stand, look it up. If you are afraid to take a

stand, buck up. If you know where you stand, speak up. If you want to take a stand, show up — at the next peaceful rally, to tell KGHM Ajax that it has no social licence to mine the rim of our city. In the meantime, write your opinions to politicians, councillors and newspapers; volunteer; discuss this preposterous proposal with others. Together we can shake it up. Colleen Carbol Kamloops

An ‘overwhelming’ ceremony Editor: What a terrific feeling of pride to see the diverse and amazing turnout in Riverside Park for the Remembrance Day Ceremony. It was overwhelming to see that we still show such respect to those who have served. I believe Kamloops is one of

just a few Canadian cities to have the flypast of that calibre — and to see three fighter jets perform two passes was such an honour to experience. My gratitude continues to go to those who serve. S. Adams Kamloops

Dinner for student was a success — thanks to you Editor: Thanks to everyone who helped to make the recent fundraising Caribbean dinner a success. Special thanks to the Campbell Sisterz of Clearwater,

Dale Bass of Kamloops This Week, Walmart, Superstore, Cooper’s and Safeway and all of my Thompson Rivers University friends who lent their support. It has been greatly appreciated.

The end goal is much closer now and, hopefully, a very grateful student will get to graduate at the end of this semester. Gail Morong Kamloops

Q&A

Some food for thought Editor: Re: KTW’s story of Nov. 7 concerning the proliferation of Canada geese (‘Should we target rats with wings?’): A cull is needed to reduce the number of geese and give them an incentive to migrate. Too many parks and beaches have been polluted, creating a health risk and leaving them icky. Co-operation between hunters and conservation officers could eliminate this messy residue and provide natural free-range nutritious meat for the community. With so many needy families visiting the Kamloops Food Bank and the New Life Mission, it would be a shame to waste such a precious food source. I am sure there are many talented chefs, cooks and nutritionists in Kamloops who would love to share their knowledge of how to transform these fowl into a lovely meal. Beth Stark Kamloops

Cadillac on par with Japanese, European brands By Zack Spencer One auto trend that shows little sign of waning is the move toward more luxury or premium cars by manufacturers and consumers alike. As baby boomers age, they have earned the nicer things in life, and the offspring of baby boomers are getting used to the finer things in life, so more automakers are moving upscale. The Europeans do luxury and performance better than most and the Japanese luxury brands have been putting in their time to becoming a real force. But, long before the Japanese, there have always been the American luxury brands, with many firsts in features and technology. Established in 1902, Cadillac is one of the oldest, along with Mercedes-Benz, and continues to be General Motor’s flagship in terms of refinement and technology. Looks The smaller Cadillac ATS was released a year ago and went on to win the North American Car of the Year award. General Motors has taken that platform and elongated it to produce the lightest mid-sized car in its class. It’s a full 173kg lighter than the benchmark BMW 5-Series it competes against, and 34kg lighter than the outgoing car. A lighter car, made of high-tensile steel, is stiffer, safer, handles better

and, above all, is more efficient. What Cadillac didn’t change is the edgy design language they have become known for. The LED accent lights are especially attractive at night and run vertical compared to most cars’ horizontal approach. The longer and lower stance of the CTS makes it look athletic, yet elegant. The one weak area is the back. It lacks the same visual punch as the impressive front grille and headlamps. Inside The new CTS is lighter than the BMW, but it is a bit smaller inside. It’s not as wide and the back seat is a bit shorter. Front-seat passengers are treated to plenty of room and a view onto the dash is impressive. The centre console has a touch-screen system called CUE, which has rich colours and striking graphics. The heat, volume and a few other controls are all touchsensitive, meaning they have no dials or switches. The problem is it shows fingerprints and dust against the shiny black plastic. Drive With a lighter car comes a better-performing car, but the heart of any luxury performance car is a solid engine. On this front, Cadillac offers three options and all three have more power than the closest competitors. The first is the same 2.0L turbocharged engine used by the ATS. X See A14

With 272hp, it is well above the 240hp offered in the BMW 528i. The carryover engine is the direct-injection 3.6L V6 with 321hp, again more than the 300hp in the 535i. The top of range motor, for now, is the Vsport model with a twin turbocharged version of the 3.6L engine, putting out 420hp. You guessed it — more power than the 400hp found in the V8 550i. The Vsport is only sold as a rear-wheel-drive car (RWD) where all the others are available with all-wheel-drive (AWD). The catch is that AWD models come with an eight-speed automatic transmission, but the AWD versions are fitted with a six-speed unit. The steering offers good feedback to the driver and the suspension is smooth, yet lively, and has a nearly perfect 50/50 weight distribution.

Verdict The price of the CTS ranges from about $51,000 for the base model to $66,000 for the top premium trim level. The Vsport, highperformance model is priced at almost $75,000. The Cadillac CTS is not an inexpensive car, but it offers many features, like standard heated and vented leather seats, Bose stereo and push button start even on the base model. Compared to some of the other mid-sized luxury sedans, it is less expensive, plus it is a worthy car for any driving enthusiast.

New contract for TRU faculty Slightly more than 90 per cent of faculty members at Thompson Rivers University have voted to accept a new two-year contract. The final tally showed 303 members of the TRU Faculty Association voted, with 274 (90.4 per cent) voting yes and 29 (9.6 per cent) voting no. The contract is retroactive to April 2012.

Among items in the new agreement are a two per cent pay increase for each of the two years and a promise of internal funding for research amounting to $569,000 over three years. A new committee composed of all full-time professors and principal lecturers will also be created to advise the provost on scholarly activities and scholarship matters.

Mounties busy in university area Kamloops Mounties will be in the area of Thompson Rivers University this week to ensure pedestrians are using crosswalks to get to

and from the school. Cpl. Cheryl Bush said the Summit Connector separates the university campus from several housing areas, noting

many students cross the road outside of intersections. Anyone found crossing against those signs is subject to fines of $121.

Thrive up for Small Business BC award Thrive Business Strategies, a Kamloops business coaching and consulting firm, has been nominated for a Small Business BC award. Owner and president Cindy Piva said the

Parking changes at court By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Coverage by KTW has led to changes to the way parking is handled at the Kamloops Law Courts. A B.C. phone number has been added to tickets issued by Precise Parklink, the provider of the service at the courthouse. A Kamloops phone number has also been added for tickets in the city. That phone number will automatically connect the caller to the Vancouver office of the company. Justin Powell, Precise Parklink regional manager for Western Canada, said the company will be allowing a 15-minute grace period from expiration of a parking permit to issuance of a ticket. The contract requires a minimum of 10 minutes. KTW received several complaints from people parking at the courthouse and coming out just a few minutes late to discover a ticket.

Powell said the Toronto head office has always handled all disputes throughout the country, but his office will now handle those for the area he covers. It makes sense, Powell said, “because we’re on the same time zone, we know the area and people can reach us faster.” The system for inputting ticket information has been changed so the main switchboard listed on the ticket, a number based in Ontario, will receive faxes at the end of each day. This ensures invoices are in the system the next morning to speed up the ability to pay them online. However, it still doesn’t address allowing someone to pay their fine online the day it is received. As for the often-broken pay stations, Powell said the equipment is designed to send a wireless signal to his office on anything from a jam to the paper roll running low. This allows his staff to notify the

woman responsible for Precise stations in the city to address the problem. “These machines are extremely reliable,” Powell said, noting there are some situations that can cause them to malfunction, including insertion of wet dimes. Most times, Powell said, the problem stems from clients inserting their credit cards the wrong way. He noted the new stations the city has bought from Precise are a newer generation and should have fewer problems with coins. The communications department with the province’s sharedservices branch replied to questions from KTW about the service provider, noting the contract required not just a company with the lowest bid, but other factors, including number of years in the parking business, financial stability, how emergencies will be handled and security procedures.

Rick Peterson meets with Kamloopsians.

Peterson preaches common sense By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

After meeting at Frankly Coffee with fellow Conservatives recently in Kamloops, Rick Peterson headed down a couple of storefronts for a Remembrance Day event at the Royal Canadian Legion. The fact children were not allowed to attend seemed wrong to the candidate for the leadership of the provincial Conservatives — and indicative of the kinds of changes he would make if his party claimed the government seats in the next provincial election. It’s wrong, Peterson said, to have liquor laws that exclude the right of a family to

attend to experience the event just because alcohol will be served to adults. Common sense is one of the hallmarks of his campaign against fellow candidate Dan Brooks and it influences his positions on many issues. BC Ferries? Peterson feels for rookie Minister of Transportation Todd Stone, one of two MLAs in Kamloops, because he’s been handed “a botched file” and must know executives running the service are being paid too much. Common sense alone dictates a need to reorganize the operation and be fiscally responsible. It means schools shouldn’t be using limited funding to pay the provincial carbon tax. It means recognizing that throughout government, executives deciding to boost hydro fees “aren’t feeling the pain the average person is feeling.” A former journalist who now works as an investment advisor, Peterson said he brings three strengths to his campaign. Strong organizational abilities means he knows how to manage people and that is essential for the party to be ready for the next election in 2017. He makes his living asking people for money and fundraising will also be key, Peterson said. Finally, his own experience with media will help him combat what he sees as mainstream Lower Mainland media “dictating what happens in Victoria” and at the

legislative assembly. Brooks has announced he would locate the party’s headquarters in Kamloops and Peterson said he sees merit in moving it out of Langley, but he would create six small offices —in Kamloops, Victoria, Vancouver, Kelowna, Prince George and Fort St. John to ensure the party and its candidates have support everywhere in B.C. and help empower rural and northern regions. “What a powerful, powerful organization we would have” with this, Peterson said. To those who say Conservative candidates simply split the vote and allow the Liberals to win, Peterson disagrees. “We’re not splitting the vote. We’re just going to be out there taking votes from the others. And nobody has a clue who will win the next election.” Peterson’s recipe for electoral success includes “how quick we get out of the gates.” He said problems facing the federal Conservatives, do not affect the provincial body. “We have no formal links to the federal Conservatives and we will develop the B.C. Conservative brand around whoever is the leader,” he said. The party plans to elect a leader to replace John Cummins, who resigned in July, sometime in April next year. In the last election, the Conservatives fielded 65 candidates, received 4.8 per cent of the popular vote and did not win a seat.

Keys for coping with negative nellies

HIS WEEK WE HEARD from a reader who is surrounded by people at work who seem to be the unhappiest group in the world. They complain and criticize everything and everybody and it seems that throwing a wet blanket on someone’s enthusiasm is the highlight of their day. If you have more than five colleagues at your work, chances are you have to cope with one of these people, too. Their negativity can range from mild to severe, but if it is aimed at anyone other than jokingly at themselves, it can be an energy-draining and toxic work environment. The key to handling these types of people is to remember that no one can really make you “feel” differently than you want to. When we say, “My boyfriend makes me feel special,” or “My wife makes me feel loved,” what we are also saying is that we are giving these people the power to “make” us feel negative things as well. Allowing others to have that power over how we feel is a choice and we walk through life believing others can change our emotions for us with a flip of the switch. Because we believe it is possible, we allow it to happen. When someone is trying to “make” us feel bad about something that is unimportant to us, it has no impact on our emotions at all. But, if they hit on something that means a great deal to us, it is much easier to feel hurt, defensive or threatened. It is not easy to turn off the switch that seems to compel us to give credibility to people who judge us harshly when we would never buy a used car from them, but there are ways to help us do that. Most criticizers have the gift of helping us believe the conversation is about us when really it is about them, their fears and their needs to be superior. Once we realize their behaviour is not about us at all, we can quit taking it

$ personally and realize they would do this with almost anyone. You can choose to ignore them completely or help them meet their need for recognition in some less destructive way. One woman who was constantly giving a co-worker jabs and insults about her wardrobe choices finally met her match when another co-worker spoke up and said, “None of us have your great fashion sense, Joan, because we invested that time learning tact and manners.” Joan’s comments became noticeably less harsh. A third choice is to behave in the opposite way the person is trying to get you to go. Every time they say something critical or negative, pay them a compliment. Most people are so taken aback, they stop their behaviour. Finally, if you have the right kind of environment and the ability to be tactful, honest feedback is probably the best route because whether or not you succeed, you can take some pride in handling someone’s bad behaviour in a straightforward and honest manner. Help Joan — or the people like her— realize the reason people are always busy when she comes around is because it is too difficult, painful or draining to cope with her negativity, complaints or criticisms. “I’d rather do my thankless job than hear more about what a bad dresser I am, Joan.” The absolute key to mental health is to always take responsibility for what you are experiencing. If you are unhappy every time you talk to Joan, do something about it. Rather than agree with her that you are the problem, realize she has a problem and you need not make it yours.

ELSIE HELEN HUBERT 1941 – 2013 Elsie was born the last of nine children to Isaac and Susie Voth, in Coaldale, in sunny southern Alberta— and her childhood in a loving family was sunny. In 1965 she married her high school sweetheart, Henry Hubert. After the wedding, the young couple immediately left for a year in Germany, where Elsie worked for two university researchers while Henry studied at the University of Goettingen. They then returned to Burnaby, where she enjoyed library work at Simon Fraser University while Henry continued his studies, and where their ﬁrst son, Mark, was born. A year in New York followed, then a year back in White Rock. In 1971 they relocated to Kamloops, to the newly established Cariboo College. In 1973, their second son, Stephen, arrived. After further work with the Thompson Nicola Library System and the Cariboo College library, Elsie found her calling as a Nursing Service Aide at Ponderosa Lodge. She loved her residents, and even years later she was often hugged by children of parents she had cared for. However, after nearly twenty years there she was shocked by ovarian cancer in 2003. But even with continuous treatment in the following decade, she and Henry travelled widely, seeing Stephen married in Tokyo and Mark, in Ottawa. In addition, their travels took them to eastern and western Europe, to the Middle East and to South America, and to frequent interludes in Mexico. During this time she also enjoyed ushering for the local theatre company, the symphony, and the community orchestra, as well as for other community events. However, after struggling with health issues in the past few months, on November 8 she passed away peacefully, with her husband and sons at her side. She is survived by her husband and her two sons with their families--Mark and Natalie, with Jacob, Sophia and Eva, and Stephen and Chizuko, with Mila--and by all of her siblings: John (Lydia), Abe (Erika), Mary (Peter), Henry, Neil (Edna), Dave (Mary), Erna (John, deceased), and Lora (Jack).

DON MCKENZIE On November 9th, 2013, our loving Father passed away with family by his side. Dad was predeceased by his wife, Blanche of over 60 years, in 2012. Don and Blanche married on December 3rd, 1949. They raised four boys, who looked up to their Dad, Dawayne (Karin), Hal (Cheri), Don (Maureen) and Brad (Deanna). Dad worked on ranches, logging, drove CAT, and Balco sawmill. Dad spent 22 years as a mechanic for the Air Force where he and Mum got to see a great deal of Canada and numerous countries in Europe. Dad was born in Calgary on August 1st, 1928. He had one brother and many sisters whom he loved dearly. Dad and Mum settled in HefÀey Creek in the early seventies, eventually moving closer to town and lived in Rayleigh before moving to Westsyde. Dad loved to play sports as a young man. He loved to hunt and go camping and ¿shing with friends and family. There were many jokes and tall tales told around the camp ¿re while having a ‘shot in the arm.’ Dad loved to listen to the hometown Blazers, and cheered for the BC Lions and the Vancouver Canucks. On Sundays, Dad and Mum enjoyed a visit with friends at the Anavets and a chance to win at the meat draw. Grandpa liked to tease his many grandchildren and greatgrandchildren anytime and all the time. Grandpa (Turkey) would often rattle his teeth and threaten a hairbrush with them if he could catch one of them. Many thanks to Dr. Paul Yanko, and the kind nurses and staff at the Marjorie Willougby Snowden Hospice Home. You made a big difference to our Dad and family.

Heartfelt thanks to all the family and friends that visited, phoned, sent Áowers and cards to Mom during her stay at Hospice.

In loving memory of

LEO DINICOLO

(née DUCHARME)

Sept 13, 1942 - Nov 9, 2013

January 22, 1936 to November 16, 2012

Helen is survived by her loving husband and best friend of forty years, Kevin, her daughter Heather Kaluzny (James) and grand daughter Callie Autzen Anderson. She was predeceased by her son Drew in 2010, and also by her parents Emile and Emily Ducharme and her brother Alex. Helen will be remembered in the hearts of her brother Cliff(Joan) Ducharme of Red Deer and sister Beatrice Ducharme of Edmonton. She is also survived by her mother in law Ethel Rhodes of Prince George, four sisters in law, Sharron of Houston, B.C., Brenda (Ian) of Sorrento, Sherry (Gerald) of Prince George and Janet (Steve) of Prince George. Helen was loved and adored by an abundance of nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews. They will cherish their fond memories of Aunty Helen. Helen was born in Eureka River, Alberta. Her family did not have a lot of material wealth, but all worked hard, studied and learned the value of support for each other. Helen was a good student and graduated from the Misacordia Nursing School. She then travelled and worked in Europe. Returning to Canada, she nursed in Dawson Creek, Prince Rupert, and then Prince George in 1972. Helen and Kevin married in Vancouver on May 28th, 1973. Their son Drew was born May 10th, 1979 in Prince George. The ravages of Rheumatoid Arthritis ended Helen’s work as an ICU and PAR nurse at PGRH. In 1993, the family moved to Kamloops for better treatment of her RA and a warmer climate. On September 16, she entered RIH for a knee replacement with hopes of having a better quality of life, and to be able to enjoy time with her granddaughter. On the day she was to return home, she fell ill. She spent two weeks in ICU and then returned to the ward for four more weeks. On Sunday, November 3rd, she once again returned to ICU where it was discovered that she was infected with C. difﬁcile and 3 other infections in her blood. She fought hard and rallied many times, but unfortunately, on the early morning of November 9th, with her family by her side, she made a peaceful jourey to be with her son Drew and Cindy the beagle.

So, Dad, quit worrying because we are all ‘ok’ and go get your ‘jibbyboo’ and take care of things!

Thanks to all friends and relatives for their support at this difﬁcult time. A special thanks to all the doctors, nursing men and women, and all those others involved in her care.

In lieu of Àowers, donations are greatly appreciated to Kamloops Hospice Association or the Canadian Cancer Society in Memory of Don.

A “Butterﬂy Party of Remembrance” will be held on May 10, 2014, at the Desert Gardens, beginning at 1:00 p.m.

“WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME” When tomorrow starts without me And I’m not here to see If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me I wish you wouldn’t cry The Way you did today While thinking of the many things We did not get to say I know how much you love me As much as I love you Each time that you think of me I know you will miss me too When tomorrow starts with out me Please try to understand That an angel came and called my name And took me by the hand The angel said my place was ready In heaven far above And That I would have to leave behind All those I Dearly Love

But When I walked through Heaven’s Gates I felt so much at home When GOD looked down and smiled at me From his golden throne He said This Is Eternity And All I promised you Today for life on earth is done But Here it starts a new I promise no tomorrow For today will always last And Since each day’s the exact same way There is no longing for the past So When Tomorrow starts without me Do not think we’re apart For every time you think of me Remember I’m right here in your heart.

We all love him and miss him very much. He is forever in our hearts. Teresa, Gaetano, Renato, Terri, Anthony, Matthew & Kristina

Fodder for football’s future By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

Former CFLer Brad Yamaoka is among the plethora of local football minds working in concert to improve the state of the game in Kamloops. In an interview with KTW, he provided a few potential solutions to some of the problems plaguing pigskin in this town. They are outlined below.

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

RETT Watkinson, Rourke O’Briain and Ian Chrystal won’t bag any scoring titles this season, but they have captured the attention of Kamloops Storm head coach Ed Patterson. “They’re highenergy guys that take lots of pride in shutting down teams, outworking them and getting them off their game, whether it’s with verbal stuff or big bodychecks,” said Patterson, whose squad sits atop the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Doug Birks Division. The checking line — centreman Watkinson between

O’Briain and Chrystal — seems to embody what Patterson is looking for in his players: “They’re tough to play against because they’re big, strong and they all skate,” the Storm’s bench boss said. Kamloops (16-50-0) is on the road against the Sicamous Eagles (9-10-0-2) on Friday, Nov. 15, before returning home for games against the Chase Heat (11-8-0-2) and Princeton Posse (7-11-0-1) on Saturday, Nov. 16, and Sunday, Nov. 17, respectively. Game time at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre is 7 p.m. on Saturday. The puck drops at 5 p.m. on Sunday. Watkinson will miss this weekend’s action with a head injury. He’s expected to be

back in the lineup in about a week. In the centreman’s absence, Patterson will have to shake up one of his most reliable units. He doesn’t seem too worried. “We’re a deep team and that’s why the scoring is so spread out,” Patterson said. “I think we have three equal lines that we just play the crap out of and we look for mismatches.” Kamloops has nine players with 12 or more points after 21 games. After a litany of injuries on the blue-line in the season’s early going, the Storm have been able to steer clear of the infirmary of late, with Watkinson being the exception. If there is one area for concern, the Storm

have struggled to find consistency between the pipes, although Patterson liked what he saw last weekend from Wade Moyls, who was recalled after being cut before the season began. The Kamloops product posted a .927 save percentage in wins over Creston Valley and Kimberley. “Up until last weekend, I think we’d given up the fewest shots in the KI and we had one of the worst goalsagainst averages,” said Patterson, noting Kyle Michalovsky and Ben Giesbrecht are now jostling for the No. 2 spot. “It was disheartening and we wanted to prove a point to the guys — everyone’s accountable, from goalies to coaches . . . everybody.”

Communication From the minor Kamloops Community Football ranks up through to the junior Kamloops Broncos, coaches and management need to open the lines of communication. “Instead of blasting people for not doing something, we need to communicate what each group would like to see,” Yamaoka said. “You can relate it to a dysfunctional family. If you don’t tell me what you want me to do, I can’t read your mind.” There are strong personalities across the local football landscape and, while they might not agree with each other all the time, they have to maintain dialogue.

Downward nurturing Minor football feeds high-school football, which in turn feeds the junior ranks.

Yamaoka said the reverse is also true — but downward nurturing has not been done well enough in the Tournament Capital. “Each higher level needs to have a little more input into what’s happening below them,” he said. “They’re direct feeders into their programs. “They need to help create that base of young players, so when they get to the higher level, there’s a good group of kids there.”

Return to glory Football needs to be an ‘it’ thing again. “Will we ever get back to those glory days of the 1980s? I don’t know,” Yamaoka said. “Those were pretty special times and kids have a lot more choices these days. “But, once September hits, football should be on the minds of everyone in the city. We need to make it an event and give these kids some recognition.” The stands at Hillside Stadium should be packed for Friday-night doubleheaders under the lights. If popularity and prestige return, so might the city’s best athletes. “Back in the day, every true athlete in the city, whether he was a hockey player or a soccer player, they all probably played football at one point because it was the thing to do,”

Yamaoka said. “It may not have been their first love, but the athletes came out.” High schools and athletic directors need to help with the hype, as does the local media, Yamaoka said.

Education Football might provide an easier path to post-secondary opportunities than other sports. “You can be an above-average football player — you don’t have to be a superstar — with a bit of potential and you can get a scholarship to go to university,” he said. “If you’re an aboveaverage basketball player, I think it’s a bit tougher. I’m not sure but, from what I see, the chances of going to a major university on a scholarship . . . you have to be the best player on your team, hands down.” Yamaoka also said young players need to be educated on the commitment requirements of football, so they aren’t surprised when their responsibilities increase with age. “Football is not for everybody,” he said. “Soccer, basketball . . . you play a lot of games and practise a couple times a week. “Football is one of those sports where you practise four or five days a week and you play one game on a weekend.” X See YAMAOKA A25

Yamaoka: ‘We all want the sport to thrive’ X From A23

Yamaoka added parents are rightfully concerned about concussions and each level of football in Kamloops should be providing education on head injuries and how to avoid them.

No specialization Children and teenagers should be playing multiple sports. “Nowadays, it’s so specialized, you’re just telling the kid, ‘Pick one and that’s it.’ “There are lots of people that would disagree with me, and I respect their opinions, but look at Kelly Olynyk. “He now plays in

the NBA. His life was basketball, yes, but he played football at South Kam, too.” Yamaoka said highschool coaches need to encourage their athletes to participate in multiple sports. “I tell my football players they should all play rugby in the spring,” he said. “If you’re an athlete, you should all be trying out for the basketball team because the footwork and everything helps out. “We do promote multi-sport activity. I wish we could get some of those athletes that are committed to other sports to at least use football as another avenue.”

Final word The good news is the discussion, while heated at times, is well underway. “We all want this sport to thrive,” Yamaoka said. “There are lots of passionate people in this city. “We’re all in the same boat.” For more detail on the issues causing disagreement among local football organizations, read the KTW column, “Kamloops gridiron gurus get down to brass tacks,” which is posted online at kamloopsthisweek.com

BOOK REVIEW

Authors navigate human heart and brain in books

Preaching potential By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When he was thinking about buying a North Kamloops apartment building, Gilles Ladouceur decided to talk to others. Among them were businesses in the area of the Residences at Sun Valley Ridge rental building on Cherry Avenue. What he heard was enough to convince him his decision to buy was right. “People are committed to the North Shore,” Ladouceur said, “and I saw its potential to keep growing.” Steven Puhallo, executive director of the North Shore Business Improvement Association (NSBIA), isn’t surprised. Since taking over the job just a few months ago, Puhallo said there’s a sense of growth and confidence for the area. The couple behind Pyschocity Customer Tattoo and Apparel are new to the area, having opened their business at 177 Tranquille Rd., just a short walk past the NSBIA office, at the start of the summer. It has already become a second home, said Bobbi Farrer, one to which she and partner Norm

Community: Christopher Foulds editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Ph: 374-7467 Ext: 222

want to contribute. Business is a bit slow, Gardner said, but he’s planning to bring in more staff for what he calls becoming a human photocopier working on a movable canvas — the art of tattoos. “I knew about the stigma,” Gardner said of the reputation the North Shore continues to fight that it’s the poor cousin to the south side of the Thompson River. “People told us we worked on the bad side of town, but they don’t see what is here. There is such potential here. This could be the artsy-fartsy part of town.” The couple is brainstorming events to bring to the North Shore for the public and is finding other businesses receptive when they talk about their plans, Gardner said. Across the road at Reubin’s Diner, owner Mike Ward sees nothing but good coming to the area he’s worked in for more than two decades. Eighteen of those years were with Interior Community Services, a social agency with offices on Tranquille Road, before Ward decided to follow his passion and open his restaurant. “If I didn’t do this, I’d always

regret it,” he said of the decision to take over the former So Espresso location. It’s the perfect spot in the perfect area of Kamloops, Ward said, and he agrees with Gardner and Farrer that soon, Tranquille Road “will be the coolest street in town.” Ward said he finds it frustrating to sit in his diner and watch cars heading east, knowing they’ll eventually turn south and then west and head to the big-box and large department stores on the South Shore. “I want to change that,” he said. Ladouceur will be part of the change, Puhallo said, after he and his partner bought the building that was once the subject of many headlines — and even more complaints. The apartment building was once owned by a Lower Mainland investor who was, at one point, paying $1,000 a day after being found in contempt of court for failing to do court-ordered repairs to the building. Eventually, a deal was worked out so the investor didn’t have to pay the $314,000 he might have been facing for the 314 days it took him to make the building safe. X See NORTH SHORE B3

COVER PAGE STORY

Crossing boundaries with differing tone and style X From B1

Woolf’s influence on MacLeod is profound: The plot, and setting, but, most significantly, the intense style of Unbroken evince Woolf’s imprint. MacLeod adroitly explores the fact-fiction margins in these depictions and pays homage to Woolf, while maintaining originality. Unexploded vividly conveys the magnified class distinctions and xenophobia that often accompany war. If the Beaumonts suffer, those of lesser material means, such as their former servant’s family, suffer correspondingly more. Philip and his chums scapegoat the more vulnerable, mirroring the societal classism and racism brought out through Evelyn’s attraction to a German-Jewish painter imprisoned in the camp and Geoffrey’s relationship with a Jewish prostitute.

Playwright John Gray once stated war is just like real life, only faster, and Unexploded, with its meticulous attention to detail, evocatively illuminates that intensification. The Great Calamitous Tale of Johan Thoms: How One Man Scorched the Twentieth Century But Didn’t Mean To is as diffuse as Unexploded is concentrated. Yorkshire in 2009 provides the outer frame, but the inner frame begins with Johan’s birth in Bosnia in 1894, glides through much of Europe during the bulk of the 20th century and ends with his 2003 death in his birthplace. Johan’s is the ultimate guilt trip: He believes himself directly responsible for the outbreak of the First World War and, thus, the subsequent mayhem and carnage of two world wars and beyond. Astoundingly successful at

connecting the personal and the political, Thornton weaves Johan’s early skill at chess, university friendships and love affair with Lorelei Ribeiro into major world events, crafting a pleasingly meandering work that somehow manages to pick up every thread. This novel is at once heartbreaking, heart-rending and hilarious. Thornton’s work is a delightful post-modern romp. Johan’s guilt induces an eccentric madness that can be (temporarily) assuaged only by writing novels (which are published, under a pseudonym, to wide acclaim). Replete with the delightful implausibilities of comedy, this work, too, is enhanced by the inclusion of historical artistic figures. Dorothy Parker, an antagonist in Johan’s attempts to reunite with Lorelei, and

Ernest Hemingway, whose mythical persona Thornton plays up to the hilt, are caricatured, playful and delightful diversions. If their influence on Thornton extends further, my bet is on Parker for her witty satire and both for their Bohemian lifestyles. Although the new works of MacLeod and Thornton are poles apart in tone, style, and plot, the writers are equally adept at navigating the human heart — and brain — as they traverse boundaries between fact and fiction and personal and political.

North Shore Business Improvement Association executive director Steven Puhallo holds a framed photograph on display of his grandfather Steven Puhallo. The photograph is among the history on view in the Heritage Room at Wilson House, 115 Tranquille Rd. Dave Eagles/KTW

New head full of new ideas Reubin’s Diner owner Mike Ward praised North Shore Business Improvement Association (NSBIA) executive director Steven Puhallo for jumping into the job with both feet and a head full of new ideas when he was hired in May. One idea Puhallo is excited about doesn’t involve the future — it looks to the past. A room at the Wilson House, at 115 Tranquille Rd., where the NSBIA has its office, has been turned into an alcove of old photographs and memorabilia of the past and some of the founding families of North Kamloops. Snapshots of Harry Ord and his hop garden are there, along with the chicken committees — women who would get together before events to pluck and cook chickens for meals. There pictures of George Hilliard and

even some with Puhallo’s grandfather. Puhallo said the heritage room is designed to showcase and capture the history of the North Shore, noting displays will be changing through the year, courtesy of the deluge received when word went out that the NSBIA was looking for historical artifacts that would help celebrate the area. Rose Blaze and Tracy Sjoding have spearheaded the project and are still going through the submissions received in June. Another call for artifacts and photographs will go out in January, Puhallo said. The art gallery in the main area of the NSBIA office’s first floor will also remain, with exhibitions organized by the Kamloops Arts Council. “We’re proud of our partnerships,” Puhallo said.

Ladouceur praised the North Shore businesses and residents, as well as city hall, for the “beautiful job they’ve done here,” noting he spent “a lot of time in neighbourhoods, talking to businesses. “They’re not going anywhere and the trend is going in the right direction here,”

Ladouceur said. Missagh Manshadi is another investor who has put a lot of his money into the North Shore. The pharmacist owned land at the corner of Tranquille Road and Wood Street for more than six years, a lot that sat with nothing happening until late in 2011, when the pharmacist built a 34,000-square-foot

Its mate may be lost or broken, but that doesn’t mean the spare earring rattling around the bottom of your jewelry box is completely useless. Through the months of November and December, the Kamloops Courthouse Gallery is collecting single earrings to transform into works of art as a fundraiser for the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA Women’s Shelter. “A lot of people have earrings that are just sitting in an old jewelry box that they value, but they’ve lost the other one and they want to have it go to good use,” said Lost Earring Project organizer Kathy Richins. The gallery plans to hand the donated earrings to local artists working in a variety of media. The artists will then create sculptures, paintings or new wearable art pieces with the spare jewels. Half of the money raised

through the sale of the earring art pieces will go to the Y’s shelter program. “I think the idea originally came from wanting to reuse and recycle and take something that’s been discarded, but is worthwhile, and put it to use again and make it into something beautiful,” said Richins of the project, the gallery’s first with the shelter

of which she is aware. “For me, for some of the women at the Y, some of them have felt that way and now they’re being valued again and starting a new life and there’s kind of a thread for me that way,” she said. Spare earrings can be dropped off at the Courthouse Gallery, 7 Seymour St. West, any time until the end of December, though Richins said donations are most encourage during the Christmas at the Courthouse Art and Craft Show, which will take place on Saturday, Nov. 30, and Sunday, Dec. 1, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “If they bring the earrings in, then we’ll have a setup so they can donate them and we’ll have a signup where they will be notified for a fundraising event that will display these works of art for sale in the springtime,” she said. The gallery is also seeking artists willing to work with the earrings, Art created with the earrings will go on sale in March of 2014.

This year’s big show will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 20, at the Noble Pig Brewhouse, in the Thompson Hotel and Conference Centre at 650 Victoria St. in downtown Kamloops. Tickets are available at the pub and at the art gallery, which is located at the corner of Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue. Dale Bass/KTW

Brews and Blues set to invade Noble Pig By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Lilo and his sax are ready for another night of fundraising for the Kamloops Art Gallery. The piece of sculpture in Trudi Backman’s house is the mascot for the annual Brews and Blues event the gallery’s board will host at the Noble Pig Brewhouse on Wednesday, Nov. 20. Backman, fundraisingcommittee chairwoman for the gallery, said the board decided to put together a fundraiser that was different and that might bring in a younger generation. “A lot of people think the art gallery is stuffy, but they’ve never partied with us,” Backman said of the evening of food, drink, music and art. For $45, people can enjoy

appetizers, listen to bands The Dirty Matadors and Johnson Sandwich, place bids on silent-auction items, buy tickets for a 50/50 draw and hope to be lucky at the end of the night when door prizes are handed out. Backman said the committee is particularly happy to feature Johnson Sandwich, which sees gallery staff member Mallory Johnson perform with her sister. Selling memberships to the gallery will also be promoted at the event which, last year, sold out the maximum 150 tickets. Memberships vary by category, but include $35 for a general membership, $20 for seniors, children and students and $25 for artists. Prices do not include taxes. Memberships provide a variety of benefits, including

Backman said when the committee was meeting to plan the original event, it was trying to come up with art for promotional material when she spied her blue giraffe.

This year, at the request of past participants, the event will also feature three pieces of art in the silent auction: • A metal bird sculpture donated by Hampton Gallery. • The Little Bridge, a 2012 acrylic by Ted Smith. • Old Lakelse Drive, a 1993 acrylic by Edward Epp. Tickets are available at the Noble Pig, 650 Victoria St., or at the Kamloops Art Gallery, 465 Victoria St.

Run — don’t walk — to the next Dishcrawl KTW’s Ray Jolicoeur took in the first Dishcrawl and was hooked. Here is his review. The next Dishcrawl takes place on Dec. 4. Go online to http://dishcrawl.com/kamloops for information. When a friend asked if I wanted to do a dishcrawl to different restaurants, my first thought was that I have enough dishes to do at home, thank you. Turns out this event was a travelling eating binge to four downtown restaurants. We started at Papa T’s and had some of the best pizza I have ever tasted. The pizza was fantastic — and even included gluten-free variety, which also tasted wonderful. When we were done, our group of 40 was escorted to Cornerstone for some Korean barbecue and Japanese sushi. Outstanding! The Korean barbecue pork was lightly battered with a peanut-based

sauce that had just the right amount of spice. The Japanese sushi was perfectly rolled with the ideal combination of veggies and seafood. The plate was so good that, even after the pizza, we were still wanting to taste more.

Next stop — Quilas Mexican Restaurant. To my surprise, the owner was a friend, Delmys Gray, who I hadn’t seen in many years. We were presented with an authentic Mexican dish featuring

pork taco, fish taco, salsa and salad, all ingredients freshly made for the evening, including the soft taco shells. It was as good as any Mexican food I have ever had. It was then off to desertland, where we

were welcomed at Swiss Pastry. New owners Jean and JP GoUro assured us we could expect the same traditional dishes for which Swiss Pastry has been known. The raspberry tort was amazing — light, fruity

and a perfect way to end this evening. I have already

inquired about the next Dishcrawl. Bravo to all and thanks.

FAITH

In quest of the true role of religion

NOTHER anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., the eleventh this year, has come and gone. Since then, there have been hundreds of terrorist-related slayings and damage have affected cities all over the world. Even now, questions are being raised in such painful circumstances about the role of religion as a source of conflict. The pervading sickness of “religious” violence has multiplied in the last decades and has been gaining the attention of historians, sociologists, political scientists and scholars of religious studies. Religious conflicts the world over, lately since the Iranian revolution of 1979, have

NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH evoked new challenges and spurred thinking about the role of religion in international political arenas. Noted scholars continue to echo the dual sentiment that religion leads to war as well as to peace. Some argue religion is a source of conflict because it has an inherent tendency to promote violence. Others opine religion is a resource of peace because true religion is peaceful. It is only in its deviant form that religion

leads to violence. Conflict was a feature of religion’s origin centuries ago. A provocative and notorious theory alleges that religion is the central characteristic of civilization, suggesting religion is a dominant engine of violence. Religious resurgence and the growth of violence and terror committed in the name of religion bring into relief the issue of religion’s dynamic relationship to violence. One paradoxical question keeps arising: Why is religion a source of conflict? In When Religion Becomes Evil, Charles Kimball defines religion as that which “evokes a wide variety of images, ideas, practices, beliefs and experiences — some positive and some negative.”

He espouses the theory that religion is a central feature of human life. We all see many indications of it every day and we all know it when we see it. Kimball concludes that religious convictions, locked into absolute truths, can easily lead people to see themselves as God’s agents. Other scholars claim religion is prone to conflict because it produces a particular intensity of non-rational, irrational passion that is not subject to the firm control of reason. Various words, such as “rage,” “passion” and “fanaticism,” are often used to describe the mental state of religious actors driven to conflict and violence. Thankfully, in recent years, there has been rising inter-

est among scholars to engage in inter-faith conversations on how religion could be a resource of peace and be used in conflictresolution and peacebuilding. Exploring the role of religion in peacemaking and peacebuilding is essential to the survival of religion itself. The need for transformation of religion is not only urgent, but crucial. There is a growing negative attitude towards religion these days. The question is: How does religion create peace? Analysis of theories of religious violence opens the door for strategies that would help ensure religions can be harnessed for peace-making, as opposed to the absolute, divisive and

irrational markers and influences that have enabled inter-group violence, war and conflict. Several strategies for transformation of religion into a force of peace can be suggested. First, the pursuit of dialogue among religions can be an influence. The call for dialogue is the need for education within various faith traditions. Second, explore the strategy of fostering economic develop-

ment, especially as it benefits the poor and the marginalized in any religious society. Religion is powerfully conditioned by the underlying economic and political environments in which all human life remains deeply rooted. Third, the strengthening of democracy, on both national and local levels, is needed to artfully promote the values of democracy. narayanmitra@ hotmail.com

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION NOTICE Application for a Permit Under The Provisions of the Environmental Management Act. We, Moly-Cop Canada., PO Box 3040, 250 Andover Crescent, Kamloops, B.C., V2C 6B7, intend to submit this application to the Director to authorize the discharge of air emissions from a manufacturing facility producing grinding media (steel balls) for the mining industry. The sources of discharge are a natural gas-¿red rotary hearth furnace, walking beam re-heat furnace, and tempering furnace and a cooling tower. The land upon which the facility will be situated and the discharge will occur is: Lot C District Lot 268 Kamloops Div. Yale District Plan 35890 Except Plan KAP 48927, Street Address 8420 Dallas Drive located near the intersection of Andover Crescent and Dallas Drive, within the City of Kamloops. The maximum rate of air emissions discharged from this facility will be 14.9 cubic metres per second. The operating period for this facility will be 24 hours/day, 7 days/ week. The characteristics of the air emissions are as follows: carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, particulate matter and sulphur oxides at concentrations typical of combustion of natural gas in modern furnaces. The rotary hearth furnace will meet a permit limit of 61.5 ppm of nitrogen oxides (at 3% oxygen); the tempering furnace a permit limit of 49.6 ppm of nitrogen oxides (at 3% oxygen); and the walking beam re-heat furnace a permit limit of 150 ppm of nitrogen oxides. The type of emissions control to be applied to these discharges are low and ultra-low NOx burners with energy ef¿cient heating systems to reduce natural gas use and NOx emissions. Any person who may be adversely affected by the proposed discharge of waste and wishes to provide relevant information may, within 30 days after the last date of posting, publishing, service or display, send written comments to the applicant, with a copy to the Regional Manager, Environmental Protection at Ministry of Environment, Regional Operations, Thompson Region, 1259 Dalhousie Dr., Kamloops BC V2C 5Z5. The identity of any respondents and the contents of anything submitted in relation to this application will become part of the public record. Dated this 12th day of November, 2013. MR. TYLER ABEL
