OVER 100 DISPLAYS!

Jeers, cheers and fears KTW-SPONSORED FORUM ON ELECTION EVE HAD IT ALL

Find us on Facebook: facebook.com/ kamloopsthisweek

HOW TO REACH US:

Debate moderator Bill O’Donovan of CFJC-TV (second from left) meets with candidates prior to Wednesday’s debate. From left: Conservative Cathy McLeod, Liberal Steve Powrie, New Democrat Bill Sundhu and Green Matt Greenwood.

There were jeers, cheers and shouts as Kamloops’ four federal candidates faced off in front of a highly charged 750-person crowd at Thompson Rivers University on Wednesday night.

But, it was a question on aboriginal women that prompted among the most emotional responses from KamloopsThompson-Cariboo’s Conservative incumbent.

Asked by a TRU student why her government has resisted calls for an inquiry into approximately 1,200 murdered or missing indigenous women, Cathy McLeod said she does care about Canada’s First Nations women.

“My heart broke when I met with the families,” said McLeod, who was part of special committee on indigenous women formed in 2013.

McLeod said rather than hold an inquiry, her committee felt it was better to put into place recommendations that had previously gone untested and to focus on promoting community programs, including those of the Kamloops White Buffalo Aboriginal and Metis Health Society.

“Please don’t think this is not a lack of compassion,” McLeod said.

“This is caring so much we need to start taking action.”

That prompted criticism from the riding’s Liberal and NDP candidates, Steve Powrie and Bill Sundhu.

“You know, if you take studies and do actions and the problem is still there, the actions are not working,” Powrie said, arguing an inquiry would offer better strategies for preventing violence against First Nations women, rather than putting the focus on what RCMP can do after the fact.

Sundhu said the unwillingness of the Conservatives under Prime Minister Stephen Harper to call an inquiry is a telling example of the government’s priorities.

“Steve Harper said it’s not high on his radar —1,200 missing, murdered women, mothers, daughters, friends. Yet he invoked Bill C-51 after two tragedies,” Sundhu said.

In a second question on First Nations issues, Green candidate Matt Greenwood said his party also supports calling an inquiry, as well as moving forward with other past recommendations to improve life for aboriginal Canadians.

MARIJUANA: McLeod: While letting police issue tickets to people caught with small amounts of marijuana “makes some sense,” she doesn’t support legalization.

Greenwood: Supports legalization. “Why bother messing around with tickets and some such? Just go where it’s going.”

Powrie: Supports legalization, said money spent “chasing gangs around” could be funnelled to addictions programs under the Liberals.

Sundhu: Supports decriminalization of marijuana, said current attitude “diverts money from the real criminals” to possession prosecutions.

BILL C-51: McLeod: “To take a quote from the prime minister, it’s ISIS, not CSIS, we need to be worried about.”

Sundhu: “You don’t play politics with fundamental freedoms.”

LIBERAL INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN: McLeod: “We can’t go down the path of deficitspending the Liberals are proposing. From every release from the Liberals I’ve seen, it’s not roads and sewers they’re spending money on, it’s social infrastructure.”

Powrie: The Liberal plan, which would require deficits of up to $10 billion a year for the next three years, includes roads and sewers, lowincome housing, green technology and seniors care. “I’m sorry, if you don’t think those things are important to enhance our society, I guess you wouldn’t want the infrastructure program, either.”

THE NIQAB: McLeod: Unveiling during citizenship ceremonies is about respecting Canadian values, including transparency, at a “very, very powerful event.”

Sundhu: “We’ve got freedom of religion. It’s not a popularity contest and it has no expiry date.”

Greenwood: The Conservatives are trying to provoke a fight with the courts, since the Federal Court has already ruled the head and face covering can be worn. “The court’s not turning around on that.”

Powrie: “A referendum on tolerance, which is what this is, should never be a political football.

If you want to talk about cultural practices, you need to talk to people practicing them.”

TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP: Greenwood: The TPP is “another one of Harper’s omnibus-style bills,” filled with as many drawbacks for Canada as benefits. Notes concerns raised by Doctors Without Borders about the deal’s effect on medical costs in developing nations and concerns about Internet freedom.

McLeod: Criticism of the deal is “fear-mongering.”

Says the deal will benefit B.C. and create jobs.

FEDERAL ELECTION

LAST THOUGHTS ON THE LONG CAMPAIGN CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

With three days remaining in a marathon 78-day campaign, federal election candidates are making final efforts to reach voters in what pundits forecast remains a threeway national race.

“It’s been a long campaign, but you pace yourself,” said New Democrat Bill Sundhu, who will spend today and this weekend meeting voters one-on-one while the party machinery attempts to identify and get out its vote on Monday.

“I still think it’s up in the air,” he said of the national race.

“It’s three-way . . . .

The NDP needs only 35 seats [more than today] to form government. The Liberals need 100. Their support is a mile wide and an inch deep.”

The Liberal party under leader Justin Trudeau is leading nationally with 35 per cent support to the Conservatives’ 31 per cent.

Trailing is the NDP with 23 per cent, according to a polltracking website by CBC contributor Eric Grenier.

Grenier’s website projects what is close to a dead heat between Sundhu and Conservative incumbent Cathy McLeod, a

Conservative incumbent Cathy McLeod, Liberal Steve Powrie, New Democrat Bill Sundhu and the Green party’s Matt Greenwood came together earlier this week for a media forum, moderated by Bill O’Donovan from CFJC-TV (second from the left).

prediction that comes with a warning that it is not a poll, but instead a projection based on national numbers, past voter history and other factors.

At the outset of the campaign, the same projection had Sundhu winning the riding.

“Obviously, you have a bit of a look at what’s happening at the larger level,” said Conservative incumbent Cathy McLeod.

“At the local level, we have a job to do and we go ahead and do it.”

McLeod said high-

lights of the campaign included making a campaign video commercial that provided humour to her work.

A lowlight was a new level of vandalism to signs and damage to a family vehicle parked at the Conservative office downtown.

While NDP election signs tout the party as the only one that can “defeat” the Conservatives and candidates debated strategic voting at the Oct. 14 media forum, Liberal Steve Powrie said that logic is based entirely on the 2011

results locally.

He argues voters intent on change should vote Liberal.

“It’s obvious people are talking about the Liberals as the party of optimism and hope and reason. They’re sick of the ideology and partisanship that goes on.”

The Green party’s Matt Greenwood said he’s excited by the prospect that Monday’s election could be the last time voters have to think about what he called “hold your nose” strategic voting because electoral reform is a major plank of the Greens, Liberals and NDP. Only the Conservatives oppose changing the way Canadians vote for their politicians.

“Three of the parties have agreed this will be the last unfair election,” Greenwood said.

Several candidates predicted strong voter turnout at advance polls will translate to Monday’s voter participation.

In 2011, just 61 per cent of eligible voters opted to cast a ballot.

“It’s hard to argue it wouldn’t [translate] . . . To have a 70 per cent increase suggests something’s happening,” Greenwood said.

Powrie agreed, saying advance poll showings “mean people want change.

“The questions is where do they want

Sundhu and McLeod, however, are more cautious.

The Conservative said she won’t specu-

THE CLOCK IS TICKING AND TIME IS RUNNING OUT! Do you have a legal claim against another person, a business, or the government? Even if your claim is valid, you may be prevented from suing the other party if the limitation period has expired.

A limitation period is a period of time in which a claim may be brought to the courts. If the claim is brought after the time is up, the court will usually not hear it.

The legislation that governs limitation periods in B.C. is called the Limitation Act. In addition, there are a number of other statutes that determine limitation periods for different types of claims. It can therefore be difficult to figure out how long the limitation period is for your claim, and when that time period is up.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2015

LIBS, NDP DEBATE VALUE OF STRATEGIC VOTING

From A3

The trio of candidates hoping to oust McLeod in the riding directed the bulk of their criticism at the Conservative party, with Sundhu and Powrie mainly trading jabs on who would be the better choice to back through strategic voting.

Asked why he didn’t

drop out of the race to allow his support to flow to the NDP, Powrie argued the Liberal party’s low support — five per cent of the riding’s total votes — in the last election doesn’t make the party irrelevant in the riding, particularly as Liberal support surges in B.C. “I have a one-word

On The Economy, Stephen Harper Has Failed.

Barbaric cultural practices.

These are words carefully and effectively chosen to terrify the electorate. Similar terms were once used in laws prohibiting indigenous Canadians from participating in their spiritual ceremonies. Canada is currently engaged in a process of reconciliation to heal itself from the acts it committed against indigenous people, motivated by the kind of fear-mongering you see being exercised with skilled precision by the Conservative Party in this election.

We are to be afraid of everything — from Syrian refugees (of which there may have been significantly fewer if Canada had not participated in bombing that country into oblivion, leaving regular citizens homeless and with no option but to flee); to head scarves (which women are already required to remove to prove their identity for any official purpose, be it prior to citizenship ceremonies or having a driver’s licence photo taken); to the economic policies of the other parties.

Be afraid, says Mr. Harper, so he can make us believe we are only safe with him.

Misdirection is a form of deception in which the attention of an audience is focused on one thing in order to distract its attention from another. Managing the audience’s attention is the foremost requirement of

answer: democracy,” Powrie responded.

“You’re telling me I shouldn’t run because Bill Sundhu has a better chance based on what happened in 2011? I’m sorry.”

Sundhu praised Powrie as a candidate, but took the opposite view of the issue.

“I would never ask Steve to resign. He’s

an honourable man,” Sundhu said.

“But, if you want to defeat Harper’s agent here, Liberals haven’t won this riding for 40 years.”

Greenwood took shots at the Conservatives over Bill C-51, the controversial anti-terror bill, several times throughout the night, going back and

theatrical magic.

In this case, the audience is the electorate and the Conservative Party is the master of the art of misdirection and “managing the audience’s attention” by carefully controlling who the audience is.

A free press is a critical cornerstone of a healthy democracy, yet Mr. Harper’s campaign manager has no compunction in telling the country via national news that the Conservatives have every right to speak only to the media outlets they wish to speak to.

Do they not get it that it is Canadians who have every right to test Mr. Harper with the hard questions? This is a task the news media do on our behalf and to deny the media full access is to deny Canadians the information they need to make an educated decision on Election day.

Sound familiar? Yes, this was why Mr. Harper’s regime was found to be in contempt of Parliament, for failing to provide adequate information to the opposition needed to make educated decisions about matters before them. Contempt.

Mr. Harper’s “theatrical magic” of misdirecting our attention to matters of no consequence is an expression of his contempt for Canadians and for democracy and certainly falls below the standard of civil democratic discourse.

To prevent the electorate from questioning him on this government’s record and just what he has accomplished that merits another mandate is antidemocratic and deceptive. He

forth with McLeod over whether the bill has proper oversight.

“Cathy likes to say C-51 is just about information sharing, just a few little things and that would be so nice if it were true,” he said, calling for the bill to be repealed.

“I have to wonder if she actually read what was in it when she

attacks the opposing candidates without providing any substance to support his claims about his government’s record or ability to lead Canada into the future.

The economy is on everyone’s mind and Mr. Harper would have us believe that only the Conservatives can ensure a healthy economy. Well, haven’t they had their chance?

Mr. Harper bashes other candidates for their economic platforms, but if any real questions were allowed of him, he would have to admit that his Conservative government has a dismal economic record — seven straight years with a deficit, $15 billion added to the national debt and the only G7 country in a recession.

Here are some things to consider: • Stephen Harper has steered Canada’s economy to its lowest levels of growth in 69 years.

• Stephen Harper has the worst job creation record of any prime minister since 1946.

• Stephen Harper is the first prime minister since the 1950s to see a decline in the employment rate.

• Under Stephen Harper’s watch, Canada’s growth in exports has declined from 5.5% under Brian Mulroney and 6.2% under Jean Chretien to .03% under Harper, creating huge trade deficits.

• And, for the rich, Stephen Harper saw 12.7% of all income go to the wealthiest 1% of the population compared to 8.9% under Mulroney and 11.3% under Chretien.

• For the 99% the standard of

voted for it.”

McLeod argued the bill being overseen by the Security Intelligence Review Committee, but Greenwood called the committee a means of review, not of oversight.

Other issues up for discussion during the three-hour debate, sponsored by KTW,

CBC Radio and CFJCTV, included Canada Post home delivery, the proposed Ajax mine and the review process surrounding it, proportional representation in the voting process, health care, the independence of MPs and the effectiveness of an opposition representative in Ottawa.

living Stephen Harper could only accomplish growth of .04% compared to Mulroney at 1% and Chretien at 2.4%.

The Canadian economy has failed with Stephen Harper at the helm.

His finance minister, Joe Oliver, was called a dinosaur by an esteemed NASA scientist for the party’s stance on climate change and the economy.

The days are long gone when our economy can rely strictly on resource extraction without diversification or consideration of the impacts on climate change.

Climate change and the economy are inextricably linked and Mr. Harper has failed miserably by not preparing Canada for a postfossil fuel economy.

That future is now and we have Conservative candidates wandering around saying climate change is a natural cyclical thing and not caused by humans. In terms of the sophistication and modernity of their thinking on the subject, they may as well be asking us to believe the world is flat.

As for Mr. Harper’s plea that he is for families, please remember that one of the first things he did within days of winning a majority was to cut over a billion dollars from day-care subsidies.

Do not be fooled.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2015

What to know before you vote Before you vote, here is some information to know.

Unlike in provincial elections, when voters can cast ballots at any polling station, voters must go to the polling location assigned to them in this federal election.

Millions of personalized voter information cards (VICs) are being sent to registered voters’ homes.

The VICs contain personalized polling location information and identify each voter’s poll number and location for election day, Monday, Oct 19.

Voters who haven’t received their VIC or whose card shows the wrong address can register or update their address online at elections.ca or at the Kamloops Elections Canada office at the corner of Columbia Street and Summit Drive (in the building formerly occupied by

A7

Scotiabank).

The local office can be reached by phone at 250-571-1580 or 1-866-5450619.

To cast a ballot, voters must show proof of identity and address.

Voters can show one of these pieces of identification: a driver’s licence, a provincial ID card or any other government card showing one’s photo, name and current address.

Or, voters can show two pieces of ID, one of which includes their address.

For the long list of accepted pieces of identification, go online to elections.ca.

Massive increase in advance-voting numbers There were more than double the number of advance-vote ballots cast in the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo riding in this election, compared to the 2011 campaign.

Elections Canada reported that 14,224 people cast ballots during four days of advance polls, compared to 6,505 ballots cast during three days of advance polls four years ago.

Nationally, Elections Canada said, advancepolling numbers were up 71 per cent over 2011 data.

According to the preliminary figures, 3.6-million electors voted in the advance polls, compared to the

2.1-million voters who cast ballots in advance in the 2011 general election.

Elections Canada estimates 507,920 people voted in B.C. polling stations, up from 259,278 in the 2011 election.

Chief Electoral Officer of Canada Marc Mayrand said the increase was due in part to an additional advance voting day on Sunday, offered for the first time.

More than 850,000 Canadians voted on Friday and more than 1.2-million people voted on Monday, representing the two busiest days of advance voting ever.

“Many Canadians

chose to vote at advance polls in this election,” Mayrand said.

“Having four polling days provided greater flexibility and conve-

nience for voters.”

General election day is Monday, Oct. 19.

Polls in the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo riding are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

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: Voter interest in the 2015 federal election.

Following three consecutive elections with the lowest voter turnout in history, advance-polling numbers in this campaign suggest the electorate is deeply connected.

Elections Canada reported the number of votes cast in the fourday advance polls was 71 per cent more than those cast in the 2011 election, which had three days of advance voting.

Locally, the number more than doubled, with 14,000 ballots cast, compared to 6,500 four years ago.

It will be interesting to see if the trend continues into general election day and whether Canada can climb out of the mire of 60-something per cent voter participation.

OUR

VIEW

NOT: Yet another increase to squeeze British Columbians’ wallets even tighter.

ICBC is asking for approval to implement a 5.5 per cent basic insurance increase across the board, which would add about $3 a month to drivers’ costs.

It is death by a thousand cuts and those with perfect driving records should not be expected to subsidize the kamikaze actions of the rest.

HOT: Who else but the Toronto Blue Jays?

The club’s American League Division Series deciding Game 5 on Wednesday against visiting Texas was a contest for the ages.

It had it all — an early deficit, a rally, a controversial call against the hometown heroes, fan dissension, three inexplicable Rangers’ errors and a majestic swing for the fences.

In the future, utter the words, “Seventh inning,” and any sports fan will nod in recognition.

Sympathy for the target

I

n all honesty, I felt sorry for Cathy McLeod.

It was about two hours into Wednesday night’s marathon debate — about two-and-a-half hours since I had zipped into the last parking spot in a Thompson Rivers University parking lot as the McLeod campaign car was closing in (yes, that was me. Sorry, Cathy) — and there was no end in sight as question lines extended from two microphones in TRU’s Grand Hall.

Nearly every question, certainly every other question, was directed at McLeod on this night — and some of them weren’t pretty.

McLeod was quizzed on everything from marijuana to Bill C-51, from missing and murdered women to the dreaded “issue” we were all expecting — the niqab.

There were boos and jeers, pointed questions and barbed rebuttals — 95 per cent of which was aimed at the incumbent Conservative MP. And it all got me to thinking: With all the talk recently in the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo riding about politics becoming too adversarial in Canada, is the same thing happening to voters?

Ten years ago, would Kamloops residents have stepped up to the mic so ready to tear into McLeod or any other candidate?

Would they have cupped their hands for boos or shouts from the crowd?

Would they have laughed outright as she

ADAM WILLIAMS

Thoughts on the

ELECTION FORUM answered questions?

To be clear, I’m no Conservative. In fact, I’ve already voted and I can tell you my vote went to one of the other three candidates on the dais Wednesday night.

I was in the audience strictly for interest’s sake and because, as someone who has and will continue to write about Election 42 in its final days, I felt I should be informed.

But, parts of my experience at the forum left me with a bad taste in my mouth.

I know people wanted to get the point across that they’re unhappy with our current government, but did they have to be so . . . mean?

Maybe I just don’t have the stomach for politics.

Maybe what the Conservative machine has done to Canada has done something to Canadians.

This will be the fourth federal election in which I have voted and I can honestly say I don’t remember there ever being this much vitriol in both the people

and the parties as voters went to polls.

Part of that likely has to do with my job, as this is the first federal election I have covered as a reporter. Maybe some of it has to do with my age.

But, I think the other part has to do with the current state of affairs in our nation.

People are sick of the status quo. People are sick of the decisions they are seeing made in Ottawa. And, on Wednesday night at TRU, people were sick of McLeod’s non-answer answers.

It was refreshing to see a packed house in the Grand Hall as the four candidates debated the issues and vied for the votes of Kamloopsians who will exercise the franchise on Monday.

But, to be honest, I felt sorry for McLeod.

I hoped Canadians weren’t losing their world-renowned niceness or their tendency to shy from the hurtful.

I hoped the tenure of Prime Minister Stephen Harper hadn’t changed Canadians to the point the rest of the world won’t recognize us.

I hoped the night wasn’t too hard on McLeod.

For as much as anyone might disagree with her and her party’s policies, she’s still a person.

As yet another voter stepped to the mic and served up a question for McLeod to answer, I sometimes cringed.

Then again, I guess her government has a lot to answer for. adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY FROM BRIDGE CONTRACTOR BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE Re: (‘Overlanders ‘blip’ a feeling job was not done right,’ Oct. 9): I have to agree. Ten million dollars being spent should get the Kamloops tax-payers, the fullmeal deal.

Would anyone pay a contractor to redo their driveway, only to have the new driveway above with the same appearance?

I don’t think so. Overlanders Bridge still has the bumps.

I believe professional bridge engineers have the

knowledge to correct this situation. Can we not request that our City of Kamloops withhold a partial payment before the contractors have left?

This initiative would prompt the contractors bridge engineers to provide Kamloopsians with a better ride. It’s part of the package.

Respectfully, would anyone pay to have the under-side of their driveway fixed, only to have the top side with the same flaws?

The Overlanders Bridge

resurfacing is not what I believe some Kamloopsians expected — a much improved ride.

Let’s provide these professional bridge engineers some financial motivation to correct this before they’re gone. Otherwise, we risk getting stuck holding the short end of the stick.

The bottom side is fixed and the top side equals the same flaws regarding the ride.

Les Evens Kamloops

PLEASE BE MORE SENSITIVE TO BIKERS Editor: It may be a bit late in the season for this, but is there any way the city can increase the sensitivity of the sensor controlled traffic signals?

I ride a motorcycle during the good weather and most sensor controlled signals will not trigger for a motorcycle.

This creates a problem if you’re

the first one at the light as it may go though several sequences with traffic piling up behind you.

If the following cars are not close enough, they will not trigger the sensor and other drivers behind get impatient and start using their horns, while there is nothing I can do about it.

Would it be possible to increase the sensitivity, or mark on the

pavement where the sensor wires are located so I could park directly over them and hopefully that would trip them?

The three worst signals are at Ord Road and Eighth Street, Columbia Street at Battle Street and turning left at Vickers Road to go over the train tracks.

A jury deliberated on Wednesday for just five hours before finding the 24-year-old boyfriend of CJ Fowler guilty of murder in her December 2012 death in Kamloops.

The 11 jurors found Damien Taylor guilty of second-degree murder, which carries with it a life sentence. They did not recommend a minimum time Taylor must serve in jail before he may be paroled, something that will be decided later by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley after a sentencing hearing.

The 16-year-old girl was found dead in the Guerin Creek area on Dec. 12, 2012, with a chunk of concrete on her chest. A pathologist testified she choked to death when her tongue became trapped in her airway, the result of at least one blow to her head and face.

“I want to scream so loud and cry at the same time,” Matilda Fowler,

CJ’s mother told reporters outside the Kamloops courthouse following the verdict.

“I just don’t want any other mothers going through what I went through. I want to find answers for the other missing and murdered women, but I don’t know how to do that. I know a lot of them are missing their daughters and have no answers. I have answers and he’s going to jail.”

Matilda and her son sat through the two-and-a-half week trial, coming to Kamloops from Prince George.

The trial heard Taylor, then 21, and CJ were inseparable. CJ, who learned hours before her death she was pregnant with Taylor’s child, asked her stepfather to treat him as family. He called him “poppa.”

“I also want to say sorry to Damien’s family,” Matilda said.

Several of Taylor’s family members attended the trial, but declined to speak with reporters following the verdict.

Crown lawyers said the trial went smoothly. One of them, veteran prosecutor Iain Currie, said it was the quickest verdict he has experienced in a murder trial.

Defence lawyer Don Campbell called it a “fairly linear case in terms of the issues.”

He had urged the jury to find Taylor was in a psychosis from days of crystal meth use and lack of sleep. He said there was no motive for the killing and the couple was a loving one.

“To me, when we go to the heart of the case, it is the human wreckage from the abuse of crystal meth,” he said. “It’s profoundly tragic CJ Fowler lost her life in this.”

Matilda thanked support from family and victim services “for keeping me going.

“I want to go to the site where her body was found and put some things there and fix it up, add a cross on there,” she said.

Police arrested a woman on Wednesday night after she allegedly confronted three people with a firearm, demanding cash from one of them and threatening two other homeowners.

Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said police were called for a report of an assault at Halston Avenue near 12th Street.

They determined a woman with a gun showed a firearm and demanded cash from a 53-year-old man near the Kamloops Ford Lincoln dealership.

She threatened two nearby homeowners, saying she was looking for someone. Bush said one of the homeowners knocked away the gun, later determined to be an imitation firearm.

Another person held the woman until police arrived.

Bush said the woman faces a number of charges.

Police are trying to identify a second person involved in the original assault.

Crown: Death occurred after clothes set ablaze

CHERYL WILLIAM DIED IN 2013 DOWNTOWN HOUSE FIRE

A Kamloops woman who died following a downtown house fire in 2013 was collateral damage after a man set ablaze a box of clothes following a fight with his girlfriend, a jury has been told.

David Gordon’s trial on charges of manslaughter and two counts of causing damage by fire or explosion began yesterday in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops.

Gordon was arrested after an April 25, 2013, fire at 927 St. Paul St. claimed the life of

Cheryl William.

In his opening statement to the 12-person jury, Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan said Gordon and his girlfriend, Marie Ricard, had been drinking at the Kami Inn in the evening before the early-morning fire.

Also at the Kami Inn that evening were Gordon’s roommate, William Toporowski, and William.

Flanagan said the four people were intoxicated when they returned to the St. Paul Street home.

“There is some difficulty between Ms. Ricard and Mr. Gordon,” Flanagan said.

results in the police being called. The police attend at the residence at around 1 a.m. and they decide the best way to resolve the situation was to take Ms. Ricard to a different place.”

Less than an hour later, Flanagan said, Gordon told Toporowski

there was a fire in his bedroom before leaving the home.

Court heard Toporowski attempted to extinguish the blaze.

He then tried unsuccessfully to wake William, who was asleep in the living room.

Toporowski then fled the home, Flanagan said, and alerted neighbours.

Gordon was arrested a short time after emergency crews arrived at the scene.

Flanagan said Gordon admitted to police he had set a box of clothes on fire in his bedroom.

The trial is expected to continue for two weeks.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Broncos season hangs in the balance KAMLOOPS KNOWS NOTHING SHORT OF PERFECTION WILL GET CLUB TO NEXT ROUND MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Derek Yachison would trade in all the individual awards for a victory this weekend, an upset that would go down as the most unlikely in B.C. Football Conference (BCFC) playoff history.

The Kamloops Broncos (5-5) will square off against the undefeated Okanagan Sun (10-0) — the Canadian Junior Football League’s (CJFL) No. 1-ranked team — in Kelowna on Sunday in a BCFC semifinal tilt.

“We’re treating this game as if it’s the Cullen Cup,” said Yachison, who was this week named the BCFC’s offensive player of the year for 2015. “This pretty much is our championship.”

Yachison, who was for

the second consecutive season named the league’s receiver of the year, was not the only Bronco to pick up a major award.

Jacob Palmarin — who led the league in three rushing categories, carries (121), yards (1,089) and touchdowns (13) — earned the Outstanding Offensive Back Award.

Palmarin and Yachison were also named league all-stars, along with teammates Stephen Schuweiler, Devin Csincsa, Cameron Brown, Derek Walde and Braden Vankoughnett.

“It’s been fantastic, especially because the guys winning have been here for four or five years and dedicated themselves to the program,” Broncos’ president Dino Bernardo said.

“They’ve shown that, hey, if you put the time and effort in, these are the

10-0

Sunday, Oct. 18 Kamloops @ Okanagan 1 p.m.

Apple Bowl awards you’re going to reap.

“A lot of these guys had the opportunity to leave and play CIS, and part of them staying is the connection they have with coach [offensive co-ordinator Mike] Faisthuber, who stuck around for these guys, so they can finish what they started.”

Should the Broncos lose on Sunday, it will mark the end of an era, with

Schuweiler, Brown, Csincsa and Yachison all set to graduate from the junior ranks.

Yachison has tried not to focus on that scenario, but admits there has been a different feeling on the practise field this week at Hillside Stadium.

“It’s in the back of your head, but our team is confident,” said Yachison, a member of the B.C. Lions’ practice squad.

“I do feel that, if you look at all the teams in the BCFC and maybe even in the CFJL, we are the team that matches up the best with the Sun’s strengths.

“We’re probably one of the only teams that can give them a run, maybe until the national championship.”

Okanagan won both meetings between the teams this season — 39-17 in Kelowna on Sept. 20 and 51-38 in Kamloops on Oct. 3.

In the other semifinal, the Vancouver Island Raiders (7-3) and Langley Rams (6-4) will clash tomorrow in Nanaimo.

The Broncos have said it before in advance of games against the Sun, who have never lost to their Kamloops rivals: We have to play a perfect game.

Anything less on Sunday means game and season over for the Broncos — and so long and goodnight to most of their best offensive weapons.

“If our defence can get some stops and we don’t sputter out, we have a very real chance of beating them,” Yachison said.

“You can sense some tension with us trying to play a perfect game which, in football, is never going to happen, but we’re going to have to try if we want to beat these guys.”

Blazers settle on three overagers The Kamloops Blazers settled their 20-year-old dilemma by trading away defenceman Marc McNulty yesterday.

McNulty was dealt to the Moose Jaw Warriors in exchange for 19-year-old blue liner Dallas Valentine.

“We are happy to add Dallas to our lineup,” Blazers’ general manager Stu MacGregor said.

“We felt it was important to add a 19-year-old player on defence. He is a big

Valentine, who is

6-foot-4 and weighs 206 pounds, played 157 games with the Warriors over parts of four seasons, rack-

ing up six goals, 36 points and 78 penalty minutes. He is a career minus-18.

The WHL’s deadline to declare three 20-year-old players was yesterday at 9 a.m.

Kamloops’ overage roster spots are occupied by defenceman Ryan Rehill and forwards Matt Needham and Gage Quinney.

There are 25 players on the Blazers’ roster, including two goaltenders, eight defencemen and 15 forwards.

Vikes to open regular season today The Valleyview Vikings begin regular-season play today against the Vernon Panthers in senior AA Varsity Okanagan Conference B.C. High School Football action at Hillside Stadium.

Game time is 4 p.m.

Valleyview topped the Moscrop Panthers of Burnaby 28-9 in exhibition play last week.

Mitch Dixon ran for a touchdown and caught a TD pass and Chad Whitley scampered for a pair of majors.

Brooks Miller carried the ball eight times for 91 yards and Dixon had two receptions for 98 yards.

CRIMES OF THE WEEK THIEVES UNSUCCESSFUL

Head coach Pat Hennelly and the TRU WolfPack begin the 2015-2016 Canada West season against the Alberta Golden Bears this weekend.

WINNING WINDOW CLOSING? ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

There’s a sense of urgency hanging over the men’s volleyball team at Thompson Rivers University.

Not because of anything that has happened on the court — the WolfPack have yet to hit the floor for the 2015-2016 campaign — but because of what this season represents.

With all-star Brad Gunter set to hang up his WolfPack jersey after this season, a window may be closing for Thompson Rivers to win a Canada West title.

“I call it a double sense of urgency — yes, we can and should be

winning now and we have the pieces to win for a couple years,” said WolfPack head coach Pat Hennelly.

“It’s nice to see that. As a coach, it’s nice. But, I do feel the pressure as a coach to perform and I think everyone on this floor feels the pressure to perform — and I think part of the pre-season was dealing with that.

“It’s a different expectation when you don’t feel you’re the underdog and I don’t feel like we’re the underdog going into a lot of matches.”

The WolfPack get the season underway today, in Edmonton to face the Alberta

Golden Bears, who are expected to again be one of the top teams in the nation.

The loss of Gunter is no doubt the most significant change on the horizon for the Pack.

A former junior national team member and CIS player of the year, the 21-year-old right-side hitter been a perennial all-star throughout his tenure at Thompson Rivers and, at times, one of the most dominant players in the nation.

This season will be his final chance to lead Thompson Rivers to a league title — and that’s not lost on him.

See GUNTER, A18

In the early morning of Tuesday October 6th, suspects smashed out the front glass door of the Kamloops GIO store on the 100 block of Tranquille rd.

The store sells dirt bikes, ATVs and other motorized vehicles plus equipment that is used in the outdoors. The thieves tried to steal two motorcycles but for whatever reason, the bikes were left behind.

The suspects did take a very small amount of cash but nothing else stolen or damaged in the store.

This is a store front operation and is very visible from Tranquille rd., the area is always busy with vehicular or pedestrian traffic. Someone may have heard the smashing of the glass or may have seen someone around the building.

Do the right thing and contact the police, if you wish to remain anonymous call Crime Stoppers, you will never have to go to court or give a statement.

BMX STORAGE CONTAINER BROKEN INTO Sometime between October 4th and the 9th of October, suspects broke into the storage locker at the BMX track on Ord rd., behind the Transit Bus depot.

The suspects took a number of items including 5 expensive BMX bikes from the container. Theses bikes have not only been registered with the local MBX club but the

serial numbers have been recorded with the police as well.

The bikes can be easily identify by the club members and families of the club. These bikes are part of the club as well as the competitors and are very expensive to replace, this a smaller club with a very limited

budget. Let’s get these bikes back to the rightful owners.

If you see some of these bikes or hear about someone trying to sell the bikes, please contact Crime Stoppers you will remain anonymous, only your information will be used, never your name.

SENSELESS VANDALISM TO A GOLF COURSE In the early morning of Sunday October 11th, someone drove a vehicle onto the Golf Course at Sun Peakes damaging the 10th green.

An investigation lead to a video surveillance of the suspects doing doughnuts and spinning the tires all over the green. The video surveillance has been seized by

the police, it shows a 2 door white Jeep Wrangler, with a black top that maybe removable. There is no doubt that this vehicle has been around the area in the past and someone may have seen this vehicle.

The damage is extensive and will be very expensive to repair and this time of year as it is not the best time

of year to grow or replace the grass, so the damage may not be repaired until next year.

If you saw this vehicle causing the damage or know the whereabouts of this vehicle, please contact Crime Stoppers you will receive a cash reward upon the arrest of the suspect.

“There’s always that sense of urgency — last year we had guys graduating, so there was a sense of urgency that year,” Gunter said.

“But, for me, personally, definitely I can feel it.”

Hennelly echoed his star’s thoughts.

“I think Brad feels that, Graham Stoliker, Brandon Hewwing,” he said.

“I think his [Gunter’s] focus is to win.

We’ve got some guys for the first time to surround him and support him. I absolutely feel that this is a team that can win now.”

The WolfPack had a dreadful start in 2014-2015, in part due to their star right-side missing a good chunk of the season with injury. He played in the season’s first two matches against the Trinity Western Spartans — both losses — before missing the next six with a dislocated finger.

The WolfPack entered the Christmas break with a 5-11 record, already on the verge of missing the post-season, but won 10 of 11 in the second half and squeaked into the final playoff spot.

“We blew a lot of energy and emotion trying to keep that run alive and surviving weekend to weekend,” Hennelly said.

Thompson Rivers eventually lost in the first round of the playoffs to the

Saskatchewan Huskies.

“I think it was a valuable lesson,” Hennelly said.

“It was gut-wrenching for certain guys to have that streak end that way.”

Gunter’s absence wasn’t the only factor contributing to a tough campaign, but the WolfPack are certainly a better team with him in the lineup.

And, with Gunter, setter Stoliker, outside-hitter Hewwing and middle Nic Balasz all set to graduate from varsity sport at the end of the season, there may be a few lean years ahead.

In the meantime, though, the Pack are focusing on this season and the likes of Alberta, Trinity Western, UBC and Manitoba, teams Hennelly predicts will top the conference.

“I think we belong in that category,” he said.

“Whether or not we get there is a question, but I believe we’re in that top four to five range of teams.”

Gunter said he expects to be a leader this season, a stabilizing presence on the court that his team can look to. He knows that putting added pressure on himself will either elevate his play or bring him down.

He’s hoping it’s the former.

“We set our goals for nationals,” he said.

“So, that’s kind of where we want to be.”

I

try to write about professional sports as little as possible.

It might seem like a weird thing for a sports reporter to say but, working in a town like Kamloops with plenty to cover, I figure the world of professional sports should be the last thing on my mind when I sit down to put ink to paper.

But, there’s just something about these Toronto Blue Jays.

I realized it as I sat in our newsroom at KTW yesterday afternoon, a group of us huddled around a computer watching the seventh inning of Game 5 between the Jays and the Texas Rangers — this team is special. Not just in their ability to hit home runs, not just in their defence, but in what they have done across this country.

Around that computer were two ardent fans. Two more were casual watchers. But, just as numerous were those who had only just started watching baseball as the Jays closed in on their first playoff berth in 22 years.

The last time I remember seeing people like this was in 2010 and 2014 and

ADAM WILLIAMS

Fooled ‘em

AGAIN

Canada was en route to winning Olympic gold medals in hockey.

Like those teams, the Jays have united a nation through sport — they have truly become Canada’s team.

It’s not a new realization, but what’s special to me, what has been fun to watch, is this group’s ability to get even those who have never watched sports to turn on the TV. People usually have one of two reactions when I tell them I write about sports for a living — they’re jealous or they roll their eyes in judgment.

This season, these Blue Jays are why I write about sports.

It’s not because of the multimillion dollar contracts and it’s certainly not the egos vying for the spotlight.

It’s because of the power sports have. They’re about hope and entertainment and excitement. They’re about a group of people coming together, to achieve something bigger than themselves. They’re learning that life will give you tough breaks, but often has a way of sorting itself out.

Just as we have watched the Jays on what can only be described as a miraculous run, there are countless kids watching along, too. Maybe they’re inspired to pick up a baseball bat, to ask their dad to go throw a ball in the backyard.

Maybe a few pick up the sport. Maybe they learn about sportsmanship and teamwork, how to take a loss and celebrate a win (as a few of my coworkers protest, without Jose Bautista’s bat flip), all because they watched the Blue Jays.

Whatever the Jays’ success means on the field this season, it will have meant just as much off when their run eventually comes to an end.

This team has done something few ever do.

I may try to avoid writing about pro sports, but who could resist these Blue Jays?

Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race.

He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name.

“Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.”

But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!”

And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!

HUGH L. TURNER August 12, 1929 - October 4, 2015

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Hugh L. Turner on the evening of October 4, 2015.

It is with sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Gary William Alvin Stephenson, also known as “the Trapper,” at Royal Inland Hospital on October 4, 2015. He will be lovingly remembered by his daughters, Shelley Egan (John Trapé) of Fredericton, NB, and Tracey Olson (Scott) of Surrey, BC, his sons, Stacey Stephenson of Abbotsford and Jay (Jill) Kinloch of Merritt; and his grandchildren, Alia; Rhyon, Shelby, and Eric; and Brett, Brianna, and Brooklynn.

He is also survived by his step-grandchildren, Tyla Hay (Arnie) and Sheldon Hay, and his step-greatgrandchildren, Hannah and Gracelyn. Gary’s extended family members and friends also mourn his passing.

Agnes “Nancy” Hamilton Houston, born in Paisley, Scotland on November 29, 1919 to William and Margaret Craig, passed away peacefully on October 7, 2015 at Pine Grove Care Centre in Kamloops, BC.

Gary was predeceased by his mother, Betty (Peterson) Pilkington, his father, William Stephenson, and his stepfather, Rodney Pilkington.

Nancy was proud to be Scottish and often told stories and sang songs about the “Old Country”. In her youth she enjoyed cycling around Scotland with the Johnson Wheelers.

Gary was born in Kamloops on January 3, 1936. He loved flying, photography, baseball, and fishing, especially salmon fishing with his mom, and was actively involved in Spoolmak Days during the ‘70s and early ‘80s. He owned and operated his own business, Hi-Way Propane, in Kamloops, Merritt, and Barriere for a number of years.

The family would like to thank the staff at Overlander Extended Care, who cared for Gary so well, and the staff at Royal Inland Hospital who looked after him during his short stay. Special thanks to Doug Foster, who was a dear friend until the end.

The details of a celebration of Gary’s life will be announced at a future date.

Drake Smith, MSW Your Cremation Expert Q: Funniest Will ever?

A: Lots of stories.

Here’s one from around here: Alice loved her dog. Just before she died Alice got a life insurance policy payable to her husband, Murray.

He’d get the money on the condition that a) Murray didn’t murder the dog; b) he didn’t overfeed (and thus kill) the dog; c) the dog is autopsied upon its death.

That’s conditional love!

IVO CINEL

November 21, 1931 – October 6, 2015 It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, and nonno Ivo Cinel. As the sun rose on October 6, 2015 Ivo quietly passed away surrounded by his loving family. He is survived by his devoted wife of 48 years, Bianca, his daughter Paola, sons Rino and Bruno (Julie), together with his treasured grandchildren Julian and Alexa. He will be sadly missed by his sister-in-law Franca Cinel, niece Daniela (John) O’Fee and family, and nephew Giovanni Cinel (Cynthia Strong). Also left to mourn his passing, his sister Agnese (Luigi) Lombardelli, sisters-in-law Maria (Battista) Ronfini and Guilia Martinazzo, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends in Italy and England. Ivo will also be remembered fondly by his close cousin Angelo Gasparetto and family of Ottawa, as well as the Fiorentini, Monden, Kubicek, and Pockar families of Calgary, Alberta. He is predeceased by his parents, Giovanni Battista and Augusta Cinel, brothers Emilio and Aurelio, and sister Rina Flaherty.

Ivo was born on November 21, 1931, in Crocetta del Montello, Nogaré, Treviso, Italia. He was the fourth child in a hardworking, farming family that struggled in the shadow of the Second World War. A clever and mischievous child growing up, he went on to complete his military service as an Alpino before immigrating to Canada to join his brother Aurelio in 1955. Ivo settled in Kamloops and began work at Kamloops Lumber, and as a general labourer. A few years later, he and his brother Aurelio started a shoe making/shoe repair business in downtown Kamloops. They would go on to work together operating Centre Shoe Renu for over 43 years. It was a family business that instilled the values of hard work in his children, and a place he enjoyed serving his customers and spending time with friends.

Even with little formal education, Ivo applied his resourceful and logical thinking to tackle any problem at work or around the home. His rough and calloused hands were the badge of a true, self-taught “tradesman” who had mastered leatherwork, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, masonry, and construction by combining keen observation and innate ability.

But his great passions in life were his family, friends, and food. These all came together at the Sunday Picnics up on Mount Lolo where many families spent countless afternoons playing bocce, telling stories, and enjoying great meals. For his family, these feasts would often feature his homemade sausages, vegetables and fruits from his abundant garden, and his homemade wine. When he retired at the age of 71, he continued nurturing and tending his garden, often singing old Italian tunes. He fixed anything and everything around the house, volunteered as a lifetime member of the Colombo Lodge, enjoyed his mornings at the gym, and played bocce and cards in the company of friends. Ivo counted himself extra blessed with the arrival of his two grandchildren, and lit up at the mere mention of their names or sound of their voices.

Ivo had survived many hardships in his life, even beating three separate bouts of cancer. He faced every task with boundless energy, and every challenge with steadfast determination. His passing leaves us all heartbroken.

Our family wishes to express our profound thanks to all the physicians, nurses, and health care workers who helped Ivo throughout the years.

At this time, we would especially like to extend our deep gratitude to the RIH nurses, students, and staff of 7 North, who went out of their way to make our last days with him comfortable.

Prayers will be recited on Friday, October 16, 2015 at 7:00 pm in Sacred Heart Cathedral (255 Nicola Street) by the Reverends Father Andrew L’Heureux or Father Swann Kim. The Reverend Father Andrew L’Heureux will celebrate the Funeral Mass on Saturday, October 17, 2015 at 11:00 am in the Cathedral. Entombment will follow at Sage Valley Mausoleum.

In lieu of flowers, donation can be made to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation or the Terry Fox Foundation in Ivo’s memory.

FAITH

Human consciousness is realization of God

C

onsciousness is the distinction between living an animal life and being human.

There are three basic levels of consciousness: Plants, animals and humans.

Plants have consciousness because they know how to become plants.

If an acorn was just inert matter it could not become an oak tree.

Plants know how to find, water, where the sun is and the season of the year.

They have this capacity because they have consciousness. But, the consciousness of a plant is at a low level.

If you cut a plant, it doesn’t react — at least not right away. Flowers will stay fresh for days after they are picked.

HAROLD MEIER

You gotta have

FAITH

A tree doesn’t complain when you take its fruit and claim it as your own. It tolerates incursions into its space and all varieties of weather.

Higher than the consciousness of plants is the consciousness of animals. Animals have a higher level of consciousness because they have comparatively more movement and they will react right away.

Animals migrate and seek shelter from the

elements trees don’t. If you try to cut the tail of a dog, it will either try to run away or turn around and bite you.

Throughout his teachings and writings, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad emphasizes animal life is characterized by the propensities of eating, sleeping, mating and defending. People share this propensity.

Modern society and economics are built upon these four pillars.

They are the crux of our pleasures and, for many, the purpose of existence. A wolf sleeps on the ground in a den.

Because of our greater intelligence, we are able to make fine houses with plumbing, heating and electricity, as well as five major appliances and sleep on a mattress — but the principle activity of sleeping remains the same.

Animals can mate

anywhere whereas we construct bedrooms and hotels to fulfil this purpose.

We devise various enhancements of the sex pleasure and controls for the consequences but again, the base activity remains the same.

A wolf will eat off the ground at the kill site.

We hide our slaughter houses and eat off plates with silver cutlery on a dining table within our home, within a chain of fast-food restaurants or at fine food establishments that serve a quality bottle of wine.

The only difference between a wolf eating venison and people eating venison is the sophistication.

A wolf will defend itself with its teeth and brute strength. If you attack me on that level, I will defend myself with a baseball bat.

You then pull out

your knife. I pull out my gun. You get a bigger gun. I get a cannon.

You get a tank. Finally, I lay my trump card, an F22 Raptor with laser guided missiles.

We’re doing the same thing as the animals are doing but on a much more complicated level.

We just get better and better at doing the same thing. When we are unable to go beyond the four principle activities of eating, sleeping, mating and defending, our consciousness only expands in a lateral direction. It remains flat rather than vertical.

In essence, we just become the best of the animals.

The human form of life only distinguishes itself when engaged in activities that the animals are incapable of.

A wolf can only act like a wolf. Animals

can only act within the perimeters of their instincts.

When people only follow their instincts and are led around by their senses, then they are no better than animals.

In point of fact, the advancements we cherish so dearly have made us worse than the animals.

Animals only eat when they are hungry, sleep to rest, defend when they are attacked, and mate for propagation. We are worse than the animals because modern society teaches us to use these as a benchmark of success.

Therefore, the more pleasure one derives from eating, sleeping, mating and defending, the more successful he is in life.

Becoming the best of the best of the animals does makes us insatiable animals rather than human.

Prabhupad taught that the human form of life allows us to inquire into existential subject matter.

When a chicken is scratching around on the ground, it doesn’t ask, “Who am I? Why am I here? What is the purpose of life?”

Animals don’t look up at the stars at night and wonder what’s up there or if there is life on one of those distant stars and, ultimately, whether or not there is a God. By exercising this capacity, we distinguish and demonstrate the difference between animal life and human life.

At that point, we demonstrate human consciousness.

From A21

Energy/environment: Conservatives: • Approved the Enbridge Northern Gateway oilsands pipeline that would run from Alberta to the coast of Kitimat; support the proposed TransCanada Energy East project, a west-to-east oil pipeline from Alberta to New Brunswick; support proposed TransCanada Keystone XL oilsands pipeline from Alberta to U.S. Gulf Coast.

• Committed to reducing Canada’s emissions by 30 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030, largely relying on provincial measures to meet that goal.

• Agreed with other G7 nations to move to a low-carbon economy by 2050 and eliminate use of fossil fuels by the end of the century.

New Democrats: • Continue opposing the Northern Gateway pipeline; it initially supported concept of west-east pipeline, but says Energy East can’t be approved without more stringent environmental review process; opposes Keystone XL pipeline.

• Create a cap-andtrade system with a market price on carbon emissions; revenue from capand-trade would be invested in a greener energy sector in regions where dollars are generated.

• Work with provinces to create a new fund to help Canadians retrofit their homes and offices to save energy and money.

• Redirect $1 billion a year from fossil fuel subsidies to investment in the clean energy sector.

• Invest in Sustainable Development Technology Canada — including wind, hydro, solar and geothermal technologies — to create thousands of new jobs for Canadians.

Liberals: • Continue to oppose proposed Northern Gateway pipeline; support Energy East and Keystone XL pipelines.

• Put a price on carbon pollution that allows provinces to design their own carbon pricing policies.

• Partner with provinces and territories to establish national emissions-reduction targets.

• Invest millions in clean technologies and enhance tax measures to create more green jobs.

• Introduce an environmental review process with more “teeth.”

• Hold First Ministers’ meeting with premiers within 90 days of the Paris UN climate change conference this December to establish a framework for reducing Canada’s carbon footprint.

• Increase the amount of Canada’s protected marine and coastal

Read the comprehensive list of promises at kamloopsthisweek.com areas to five per cent by 2017 and 10 per cent by 2020.

• Phase out subsidies for the fossil fuel industry.

• Along with the U.S. and Mexico, develop a North American clean energy and environmental agreement.

Greens: • Introduce carbon pricing through a feeand-dividend system to reduce fossil fuel use and encourage private sector investment in green tech, clean energy and green jobs.

• Accelerate construction of green infrastructure, ensuring a majority of Canada’s energy needs come from renewable sources by 2025.

• Work with the provinces to ensure no new coal-fired electrical generation plants are built in Canada.

Infrastructure/transport: Conservatives: • $5.3 billion a year, on average, for provincial and municipal infrastructure under the New Building Canada Plan.

• A New Public Transit Fund committing the federal government to spend $250 million in 2017, $500 million in 2018 and $1 billion a year after 2019.

• $150 million for Canada 150 Community

Karma Chameleon:

Wrestling with “Grace” Presented by Rev. Helen McFadyen No matter who we are, or what we have done, whether we believe in God or not, we receive blessings...sometimes when they matter most, and when we expect them least.

Infrastructure Program to fund community and cultural infrastructure projects across the country as a way to celebrate Canada’s sesquicentennial in 2017.

New Democrats: • Dedicate an additional one cent of the existing 10-centsper-litre federal gas tax to roads, bridges and other core infrastructure, reaching an additional $1.5-billion annually by the end of an NDP government’s first mandate, on top of almost $2.2 billion in existing annual gas tax transfers to municipalities.

• Develop a better transit plan with the provinces and territories and invest $1.3 billion annually over next 20 years for predictable and stable public transit funding for municipalities.

Liberals: • Boost infrastructure funding through “alternative sources of capital” such as having large pension funds invest in major infrastructure projects in urban and rural communities. • Provide infrastructure funding for affordable housing, public transit, transportation, climate change and “smart cities.”

• Hold a big city mayors’ meeting in Ottawa annually to discuss pressing infrastructure issues facing cities.

Greens: • Reinvest in national rail systems, build more train cars, increase train speeds and phase in highspeed rail where feasible.

• Increase joint federal-municipal light-rail investments.

• Improve Via Rail service nationwide, including working with railway companies to improve rail infrastructure and restore VIA rail service to all major regional cities.

Beyond brass

Ken McClelland Band Director

ALAN DOYLE TALKS MUSICAL ROOTS, PLAYING IN KAMLOOPS

A

lan Doyle remembers an early gig his band had in Kamloops.

He’s not sure where the actual venue was but remembers fellow Great Big Sea members entering what was obviously a country bar and thinking to themselves “we are in the wrong place. We’re gonna die here.”

There was a similar experience at a show where the folk-rock band from Newfoundland was opening for Junkhouse, “Tom Wilson’s really heavy rock band and we were out there with them with our happy little ditties.”

Both shows were successful, notwithstanding the band’s first thoughts, a testament to those happy little songs the band started writing, covering and singing in 1993.

These days, however, Doyle’s touring with his own band — including B.C.’s Kendel Carson on fiddle — opening for The Barenaked Ladies, who hit Kamloops on Saturday, Oct. 24 at the Sandman Centre.

His set will include songs from his years in the band, some of his solo work and some covers with deep Newfoundland and Celtic roots.

Music’s always been part of Doyle’s life.

His mom was the choirmaster at church, his dad and other relatives all performed and, by about age five, he was playing guitar along with them.

“You see, I realized if you’re in a band, you

get to stay up later,” Doyle said with a laugh.

“You sing a song and they let you stay up to 1 a.m. — and I also learned that you get stuff you don’t get if you’re not in a band.”

He’s lived through the time when the Celtic music of his childhood didn’t get respect.

“I remember us being called a Celtic pub band — as if that’s not worth respect. I’ve got great respect for people who play in bar bands and in Celtic bands,” Doyle said.

He’s also got his own unique musical aspiration: He would love to create an entire record of songs “that every bar band in the world can play with one rehearsal.”

Doyle’s been spending a lot of time in recent weeks talking about music and how important it is to the nation’s economy, something he feels has been overlooked in the federal election campaign.

He doesn’t limit his viewpoint to music and includes all of the arts in his sentiment, but speaks about singing because that’s what’s close to him.

WEIGHING IN ON THE PAC DEBATE: “Of course you

should . . . . I look at Kamloops and they have a hockey rink or a club . . . it’s tougher to get dates in them.”

Many people undervalue the economic impact the arts create, Doyle said, everything from musical tourism that can bring new people to a community to providing support for charities that are always having to raise funds.

“I would love to know how much money the Canadian music industry has given to charities in this year alone,” he said.

Doyle also weighed in on the local debate about a performing-arts centre in Kamloops and if it should be built.

“Of course you should,” he said of the proposal.

“People don’t think of them as making money but they do. If you have a performingarts centre that’s filled 80, 90, 100 days a year, that’s money coming into your economy.

“And, if it brings people into your city, that’s free money.

That’s money that wasn’t going to be there otherwise.

“It might not look like it on that page [the financial statement for a centre] but ask the restaurant owner up the street. Ask the hotels.

“You know, it’s so true in Newfoundland.

“People come here and they come here for a reason, the music scene.”

Doyle said when he’s planning a tour, he looks for cities where like Vernon — “it’s got a great performingarts centre. I look at Kamloops and they have a hockey rink or a club.

“Now, I love playing at your hockey rink — I remember when your town had an awesome hockey team — but it’s tougher to get dates in them, especially with junior [teams] that always seem to play on weekends.”

Expanding his viewpoint to take in another of his own realities, Doyle pointed to The Republic of Doyle television series “that, over what, six seasons has spent $100 million a kilometre away from my house.

“Imagine a city with no music in it. Imagine St. Johns with no music. Imagine New Orleans with no music.

“It’s possible it can go away if we don’t keep supporting it.”

The Kamloops show starts at 7:30 p.m.

artist, however. When her father died in 1939, she put down her paintbrush and started working the ranch along with the rest of the hands.

Eight years later, married to Hugh Cornwall, she picked up her brushes again, perfecting her technique courtesy of other artists who visited her home. The Cornwalls hosted the likes of A.Y. Jackson, Zeljko Kujundic, Peter Aspell and Jack Hardman.

Salloum builds her story of Cornwall’s life with the tales of others who also called the Cariboo-Chilcotin home, people like Willie Crosina, who remembers pitchforking hay to 700 head of cattle in -60F weather one day or filmmaker Peter Elkington who recalled the home veterinary procedures Cornwall’s husband used.

Kamloops band Van Damsel was created in 2010, released its debut EP in 2012 and, this year, is one of 12 finalists in the Peak Performance Project.

VAN DAMSEL VYING FOR VOTES IN PEAK PROJECT Voting in the Peak Performance Project begins today — and a Kamloops band is one of the 12 finalists.

Van Damsel is competing against Little India, Chersea, Smash Boom Pow, Jesse Roper, Find the Others, Mindil Beach, Bed of Stars, Mike Edel, Windmills, JP Maurice and Joy District for the top prize of $102,700.

Second prize is $75,000 and third price is $50,000.

The finalists have already received $5,000 each to put toward career development and have taken part in the project’s concert series.

They’ve also been to the project boot camp that looks at issues like performance, songwriting, marketing, promotion, media training,

music law and business, touring and other topics.

Each finalist is also required to support a non-profit; the Kamloops band picked the David Suzuki Foundation and is donating 10 per cent of its merchandise sales and proceeds from its custom tote bags, to the environmental organization.

Van Damsel — Richard Bregoliss on guitar and backing vocals, Sebastien Ste Marie on vocals, guitar and synths, Matthew Rennehan on bass and backing vocals and Matthew Barron on drums and backing vocals — was created in 2010. In 2012, it released its debut EP, Say Hello to Your Mother.

Stargazing at comets — good and bad KEN TAPPING

SPECIAL TO KTW

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

I

n 1908, something from space came into the atmosphere over Tunguska, Siberia and, while still high above the ground, it exploded.

Trees were flattened for many kilometres and glasses rattled on bar shelves in Paris, thousands of kilometres away.

It has been suggested the object was a comet, a lump of dusty ice a kilometre or two in diameter.

If that explosion had happened over Western Europe, the result would have been a colossal disaster.

This story fits the medieval idea of comets being harbingers of disaster.

In Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, a comet appeared in the sky as a herald of the assassination.

“When beggars die there are no comets seen but the heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.”

However, although cometary impacts can be bad, they can be good.

Without them, the Earth could be arid and lifeless.

When the Earth formed some 4.5 billion years ago, from the accretion of many smaller lumps of material, it was hot and molten.

This was inevitable, since the energy from the collisions was released as heat.

If water were present, it would have been P A L E R

in the form of superheated steam.

This would rise to high altitudes and be stripped off by the vigorous wind of the young Sun. The temperatures were far too high for the complex organic chemicals forming the chemical building blocks of life to exist.

So, scientists have suggested the water and the complex, organic chemicals had to arrive after the Earth cooled enough for them to accumulate on our world’s surface without breaking down.

One possibility is the water and chemicals arrived later, by comet.

These objects are means of delivering ice and other materials from the outer solar system to the sun’s near neighbourhood, where we live.

The big, dark, cold clouds between the stars contain a mixture of gases, ice, dust and organic chemicals.

These are the result of the reaction over millions of years of the waste products from the energy production of long-dead stars.

These chemicals include water, methane, hydrogen cyanide, alcohol, ammonia and so on.

If you put a mix-

ture of such materials in a bottle and pass an electric discharge through it, simulating what might be happening in the atmosphere of a young planet, you obtain aminoacids, the building blocks of life.

In the outer solar system out beyond Pluto, there is still a lot of left-over construction material from the construction of the sun and planets.

Far from the sun, it has been preserved, deep-frozen for billions of years.

Occasionally, something disturbs a lump of it, throwing it on a course towards the sun, where it could ultimately collide with the Earth or another planet.

So, repeated comet impacts may have brought to the young Earth water and the raw materials for getting life started.

We know life appeared possibly as soon as the Earth’s surface had cooled enough.

We find remains of primitive living things in rocks 3.5 billion years old, only a billion years or so after the Earth formed.

These creatures changed little until about 500 million years ago, when there was an almost explosive appearance of count-

less new and more sophisticated living creatures.

This important role for comets is why we are so interested in them and have sent spacecraft for increasingly close looks at any of these objects coming into our neighbourhood.

The Rosetta spacecraft, currently exploring Comet 67P, has sampled the water evaporating from it.

The results so far suggest the Earth may not have got most of its water from comets, but we may well have acquired our organic chemicals from them.

However, although we may have gained much from cometary impacts in the past, we are currently not looking forward to any more of them any time soon.

WORLD VIEWS

Atrocity served Edrogan’s strategy

T

he death toll from the twin suicide bombs at a peace rally in Ankara has reached 128.

The Turkish police were not present to provide security (they never are at “opposition” events), but they did show up to fire tear gas at the mourners afterwards.

Who did it?

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu offered three possibilities: the Kurdish separatist organization PKK; anonymous “extreme leftists”; or Islamic State.

Selahattin Demirtas, the co-leader of the pro-Kurdish HDP party that organized the rally, offered a fourth alternative: advancing interests of President Recep Tayyib Erdogan’s Justice and Development (AK) party.

The atrocity served

w

GWYNNE DYER

World

WATCH Erdogan’s strategy of creating an atmosphere of fear and impending calamity before the elections on Nov. 1, in which he hopes to get back the parliamentary majority he lost in June.

But, it’s hard to believe the AK Party has suicide bombers at its disposal: it is an Islamic party, but nothing like that extreme.

It’s equally unlikely to have been the work of the PKK, because a very large proportion of the people at the rally were Kurds.

Moreover, the PKK

is a secular organization, which makes it an improbable source of suicide-bombers.

The suggestion “extreme leftists” were responsible is ridiculous: what would be their motive?

Which leaves ISIS, aka Islamic State, as the probable perpetrator.

ISIS uses suicidebombers as a matter of course and it is certainly angry at President Erdogan.

He treated it quite well in the early years of the Syrian civil war, keeping the Turkish border open for its volunteers to flow across by the thousands.

He even closed the border to Kurds who wanted to help the defenders of Kobani, a city in the northern, Kurdish-majority part of Syria — a siege that lasted four months and ended in an ISIS defeat.

Erdogan is a deeply religious Sunni Muslim.

He wanted to see the overthrow of Syria’s

President Bashar alAssad, an Alawite (Shia) ruling a mostly Sunni country, and he didn’t much care who the opposition were so long as they were Sunnis.

He also didn’t want to see a Kurdish ministate appear just across Turkey’s southern border, so he preferred an ISIS victory over Syria’s Kurds. But, his priorities changed after he lost the June election.

Now, his own power was at stake and to keep it he needed a crisis. In fact, he needed a war.

Assuming the AK Party would not only win its fourth straight election this year but gain a two-thirds majority of seats, Erdogan moved on from 10 years as prime minister and got himself elected president last year.

The presidency is a largely ceremonial office but, with a twothirds majority, he could change the con-

stitution and make it all-powerful.

But, his party didn’t get a two-thirds majority in the June election.

It didn’t get one at all — only 258 seats in the 550-seat parliament.

The main reason was the HDP, a party demanding Turkey’s one-fifth Kurdish minority be treated as equal citizens in every respect, including language, managed to get into parliament.

Most of the HDP’s voters were Kurds, including many conservative and religious Kurds who had previously voted for Erdogan’s party, but its secular and liberal values also persuaded many ethnic Turks to vote for it.

It only got 13 per cent of the vote, but that was above the 10-per cent threshold a party must exceed to win any seats in parliament at all.

The arrival of the HDP changed the par-

liamentary arithmetic and deprived the AK of its majority.

Erdogan could have opted for a coalition, but he was stranded in the powerless presidency, unable to change the constitution, and could not even personally be part of such a coalition government.

So, he decided to gamble on another election.

The Kurdish votes were not coming back to the AK Party and the only other possible source were the ultra-nationalists who had been alienated by his peace talks with the PKK. (The talks began and the shooting stopped four years ago, although the official ceasefire was only declared in 2013.)

Now he needed to re-start the war against the PKK and that would be unwelcome to American allies.

He solved the problem by saying he would attack ISIS and other “terrorists”,

which got Washington on board — but, since the Turkish air strikes began in August, they have hit 20 PKK targets for every strike against ISIS. It’s not clear Turkey has finally shut its border to ISIS volunteers.

The PKK is fighting back, of course, but ISIS has not been appropriately grateful that Turkey is only bombing it (quite lightly) for diplomatic reasons.

It is almost certainly responsible for all three mass-casualty attacks using suicide-bombers in Turkey this year.

There is only one consolation: Erdogan’s electoral strategy isn’t working.

A poll last month showed 56 per cent of Turks hold him responsible for the new war.

The polls also show AK’s share of the vote falling, and that of the HDP rising. Erdogan is facing defeat — and he richly deserves it. gwynnedyer.com

GHOSTLY CASTLES I

HANS TAMMEMAGI SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

n Wales, you can hardly travel more than a few kilometres before stubbing your toes on towering piles of blood-andhistory-stained stones.

Stone castles, that is.

IN WALES

Laugharne Castle is one of the 641 castles in Wales — the most per square kilometre of any country in the world.

HANS TAMMEMAGI PHOTO

B17

They come in many sizes, shapes and states of repair.

Some are faint traces on hilltops, while others are thumping great fortifications in city centres, barely changed over the centuries.

Many were erected during the conquest of Wales. Others are native, built by Welsh princes to protect their lands against marauders and even each other.

The history of Wales is written in these walls and turrets.

There are also luxurious, newer castles, built by more recent industrial barons.

The reason I was exploring castles in southern Wales is many are said to be inhabited by ghosts and supernatural beings.

The country, I discovered, is brimming with castles — 641 — the most per square kilometre of any country in the world.

These picturesque structures enfold centuries of history — and also spirits.

I arrived in Cardiff, one of the most beautiful cities in the United Kingdom, to find Cardiff Castle smack in the heart of downtown. It was built in the late 11th century by Norman invaders on top of a third-century Roman fort.

In the mid-18th century, after eons of blood and conflict, Cardiff Castle passed to the Marquesses of Bute, who have held it for six generations.

They made numerous renovations and remodeled the castle in a magnificent Gothic revival style — but ghosts linger.

I toured the castle as darkness was falling in hopes of

meeting the Second Marquess of Bute, who died in 1848 and is said to walk through the fireplace of the library dressed in a long red coat.

He then passes through a six-foot-thick wall into the room in which he died.

Another apparition, his wife Lady Sophia, floats through the castle grounds at night.

I saw neither, but goosebumps rose when I heard a low moaning.

I drove 10 kilometres north to Caerphilly Castle, the largest in Wales, which dominates the city.

Built by ‘Red Gilbert’ de Clare in the 13th century, the castle was never conquered because of an enormous moat.

I paid only scant heed to its famous leaning tower and to a battery of full-scale siege engines, whose missiles could damage thick walls.

Instead, I hurried to a hidden passageway supposedly haunted by the Green Lady, the wife of Red Gilbert.

It is said she fell in love with a Welsh prince.

When their tryst was discovered, Gilbert had her lover killed. On learning the news, she dropped dead and, ever since, her ghost has haunted the ramparts of Caerphilly Castle seeking her lover.

Heading west and passing numerous other castles, I arrived at the small town of Laugharne.

I was excited because this was where Dylan Thomas, Wales’ most famous poet, spent the last four years of his life.

The town encircles the ruins of a castle built in the 13th cen-

tury, probably atop an earlier Norman ringwork castle.

In 1584, Elizabeth I granted Laugharne Castle to Sir John Parrott, said to have been the illegitimate son of Henry VIII, who transformed it into a Tudor mansion.

It was besieged and severely damaged during the Civil War in the 1640s.

I wandered through the formal garden and climbed the towers for views over the town and the Taf estuary.

Thomas wrote Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog in the castle gazebo. Celebrating the 100th Thomas birthday in 2014, the castle played host to a series of radio broadcasts and shows in his honour.

I’m sure I saw Dylan’s ghost high in a tower during the performance.

Further west, Tenby Castle, which dates from 1153, stands on a headland separated by an isthmus from the town.

Joining a ghost walk through Tenby, we visited haunted pubs and learned of supernatural goings-on in the backstreets.

Then we strolled, clinging close together, around Castle hill where a woman from Oklahoma felt a psychic presence.

Our guide told of a ghostly ship which cast up a wretched pirate who sought refuge on an island opposite Castle hill around 1550 and who eventually took his own life.

As drifting clouds momentarily covered the full moon, we heard a spine-tingling howl and I’m sure I saw a wraith moving against the castle wall.

Later at the Lifeboat Tavern, I raised a flagon of ale and toasted Wales and its multitudinous castles and spirits. I vowed to come again — next time to tour graveyards.

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.
