KTW LOOKS AT COMMON QUESTIONS AND TRIES TO FIND THE ANSWERS ANDREA KLASSEN • STAFF REPORTER • ANDREA@KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM

Q: What will be in it?

A: At this stage, we don’t know what the building will look like, but at least three components are set: a 350-stall underground parkade, a 1,200seat mainstage theatre and a black-box theatre (essentially a room in which the stage and seating can be moved around the space as needed), which can hold up to 350 seats.

Beyond that, the city’s business case offers some sketches of the rest of the building.

The lobby, for instance, “should be a proud majestic space worthy of a major civic building . . . it could be programmed for a variety of different events such as a gallery opening, civic announcement or preevent function.”

The early design also makes room for secondfloor rehearsal halls, dressing rooms, bar space for intermission and small studios or commercial retail spaces along Seymour Street.

If the referendum passes, getting to a final design will use about $6 million of the city’s $91-million budget for the project.

Q: What will it cost to build?

A: The most recent estimate for the project from the city’s business case puts the price tag on the arts centre/parkade at just under $91 million.

Besides the $6 million in design costs, the budget (from the city’s business case) includes $7.5 million to purchase the former Kamloops Daily News property at Seymour

CITY OF

KAMLOOPS

sales, fundraising and government grants help make up the remaining costs.

Administration expenses are the largest slice of the operating budget, at more than $1 million, which includes staff salaries (the city expects to have 14 staffers, including administrators and technicians) and the cost of keeping the lights on.

There’s also a capitalreserve fund built into the budget for the centre, from which the city can draw when the carpets eventually need replacing or other large-ticket repairs are needed.

The city will sock away about $150,000 for the first few years the doors are open, with more than $1 million expected to be in the bank by year five.

Street and Fourth Avenue.

The building’s construction, inside and out, is about $47 million, with another $18.5 million for the underground parkade.

There are several contingency funds built into the $91-million budget, including about $8 million set aside in case of increased construction costs and overruns.

There is also about $3.5 million in “additional amenities,” including a

$2-million storage space for the Kamloops Art Gallery and the retail shops facing Seymour Street.

Mayor Peter Milobar has indicated these are the line items most likely to be on the chopping block if other areas of the project go over their expected costs — all numbers are Class D estimates, meaning the total cost could be out by plus or minus 25 per cent (anywhere from $67.5

COMMUNITY

million to $112 million).

Q: What will it cost to operate?

A: The city plans to spend $900,000 a year on an operating subsidy for the building, about the equivalent of a one per cent tax hike.

The total operating budget for the centre is $1.7 million at start-up and projected to $2.1 million in year five.

Rental income, ticket

Q: How will we pay for this?

A: The city is asking voters to give it permission to borrow up to $49 million to build the centre.

At the same time, it would raise taxes by one per cent in 2016 and one per cent in 2017 — which will add a combined $38 to your tax bill for 20 years, if you live in an average home valued at $351,000, and bring in $1.9 million a year for the city.

The money will be set aside, along with between $2 million and $3.5 million in community works funding and annual gambling revenue the city gets from Chances Gaming and the Cascades Casino and money from downtown parking meters.

THE REFERENDUM

Kamloops perfectly situated for touring acts DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

For Michael Cade, the reason to have a performing-arts centre (PAC) is simple.

Acts that come to Vancouver and are heading east to tour have to go through Kamloops — and, for many, there’s no viable venue in which they can stop and perform.

It’s all a matter of routing and regulations on how long professional drivers can sit behind the wheel.

And, it’s one of the reasons Kelowna and Vernon do well, said Cade, the executive director of the Chilliwack Cultural Centre and a former Kamloopsian who ran Pavilion and Sagebrush theatres.

He has also worked in Vernon, Kelowna and Vancouver.

Cade said there

are plenty of touring acts in the U.S. Pacific Northwest that simply turn around and head home once they perform in Bellingham because there’s no reason to cross the border.

He suggested a venue like the proposed performing-arts centre could be an enticement to bring them into B.C. and then book through to Calgary, Edmonton and beyond.

“One of the biggest challenges we face in Canada is in the U.S., a major city is within a four-hour drive everywhere,” Cade said. “In B.C., they face a longer drive and it’s often not worth it.”

During his time in Vernon, Cade would often be contacted by acts that wanted to tour into Canada, but needed some place between Vancouver and Calgary where they could stop and adhere to the driv-

ing regulations.

Cade recalled when Sagebrush Theatre was first proposed. Then, as now, there were two sides to the issue, with many saying the facility would be empty most of the time and wasn’t worth the cost.

Now, the theatre is regularly booked as far as two years in advance.

To those who say a PAC in Kamloops wouldn’t attract performers, Cade disagrees.

“If you don’t bring these things in, you don’t realize what you’re missing. There are many that would sell well in Kamloops.”

Comparing his centre in Chilliwack to the proposed PAC would be wrong, Cade said, because it’s on a smaller scale and has included room for arts Kamloops already has.

He included the studios provided by the

Kamloops Arts Council, the music school run by the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra and the general vitality of the city’s arts and culture community.

“Kamloops’ problem is they have them and they are used so well, they are really overutilized,” he said.

The Chilliwack centre offers 18 instructional studios for clay and ceramic, crafting, dance, painting, choral and children’s art endeavours.

It’s important to be creative in using the centre, Cade said; for example, the Chilliwack black-box theatre has been the site of a job

fair, a fringe festival, chamber music concerts, a magic series and a wedding.

It can become a theatre in the round or

turned into a cabaret with tables, drinks and desserts available at the bar to take in and enjoy.

THE REFERENDUM

A FINAL PAC Q&A BEFORE THE VOTE

From A3

By the time it has to start paying off the arts-centre debt in 2020 (when the building is scheduled to open), the city would have about $25.5 million saved from those sources to pay for a portion of the costs.

It hopes to have collected another $10 million in government grants and namingrights sales.

Philanthropists Ron and Rae Fawcett have agreed to chip in $5 million of that amount if voters approve the referendum question.

The same sources — $1.9 million in taxes, $2 million in gambling and gas-tax funds and about $400,000 in parking fees, as well as revenue from the new underground parkade, projected at $300,000 a year — would fund both the operating subsidy and the $3.6 million the city would spend annually for the next 20 years to pay off its $49-million debt.

Q: What will it cost to go to the arts centre?

A: This question is much harder to answer.

A high school graduation ceremony (one of the city’s preferred examples for an event in the mainstage theatre) probably won’t cost as much as an evening with the Canadian Tenors (another favourite).

Nor would a community meeting — which Milobar has indicated could be one of the black-box’s prime uses — be likely to have a cover charge, unlike a play presented by a community theatre group.

Barb Berger, recreation, social development and culture manager for the city and the staff member who has final say over what acts play at Sandman Centre (more about that in a minute), said it’s not clear at this stage what the cost of renting either theatre in the arts centre would be, or what audiences would have to pay to attend.

Berger did say affordable ticket prices are one of the requirements she has for bringing a show to the arena.

“A lot of people say to me, how come a show went to Kelowna,

but it didn’t come to Kamloops?” she said.

“Well, Kelowna can offer close to 2,000 more seats than we can. So, if you’re buying a show for, let’s say, $25,000 that’s going to come here and you look at your production costs, then divide the ticket price over 7,000 seats versus 4,500 seats, people are going to have to pay a lot more for that ticket,” Berger said.

“We have to look at our market and what has sold before and go, I’m not sure that is affordable.”

But, what does affordable mean? That’s all over the map, too.

“We crashed Ticketmaster when Kiss came in,” Berger said.

“In 10 minutes, that show was sold out — and tickets were all over $100 a seat.”

Q: Who will run it?

A: There hasn’t been a final decision on how the centre will be run, but the city’s consultant, MHPM, suggests a nonprofit society, overseen by a board of directors, be put in charge of operations.

The society would report to the city, but operate at arm’s length.

Berger said a society can pursue some streams of government funding not open to the city, as well as stage fundraising campaigns and use volunteer labour, which the city cannot. Nor would workers be part of the city union, Berger said.

When a promoter wants to stage a live show at Sandman Centre, the city typically co-produces the production, taking on some of the risk in exchange for a slice of the profits.

Most of the time, the promoter in question is Jelly Events, which has a contract with the city to find shows for the arena.

Berger is charged with determining whether a band or performance is a “reasonable risk” for the city, likely to bring a return on investment.

In the arts centre, the society would be the one deciding whether to coproduce shows or rent out the theatre without taking on the risk or gains.

How a board of directors would be appointed

and society members hired has not yet been worked out, Berger said.

MHPM’s business case suggests the board contain “members appointed by the city and community champions with a broad range of artistic and business expertise.”

Q: What’s the argument for building it?

A: For Gay Pooler, general manager at the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA), the centre is not about seats so much as stalls — the 350 underground spots in the centre’s parkade, to be precise.

“We want to have that parking built, we need it. It’s something that’s overdue by 10 years already,” she said.

The KCBIA has argued for years the downtown is woefully short on off-street parking for employees, noting the lack of space has led to many downtown office spaces going unrented, an issue some downtown developers have echoed over the past months.

Pooler believes the additional parking will attract more companies to Kamloops that haven’t been able to find space that meets their needs.

Pooler said building

the parkade as part of the arts-centre complex will allow the city to pay off the cost of the parking stalls faster, since they can be used by employees during the day and by theatregoers on evenings and weekends.

Above ground, various arts organizations have argued there aren’t enough dates available at the city’s existing venues for their productions, youth programs and other activities, or that the existing venues aren’t the right size for certain types of acts.

According to MHPM, about 10 per cent of ticket buyers attending Western Canada Theatre’s productions and concerts from are visitors to Kamloops — and the city is banking on that to continue at the arts centre, with those visitors also staying overnight, shopping and dining out.

City CAO David Trawin believes transforming the former Daily News site from an empty building and parking lot to a landscaped arts centre should bring renewed foot traffic to businesses on Seymour Street, which he compared to the city’s campaign to beautify Lorne Street.

“There was no one walking Lorne Street because it was ugly,”

he said. “To be honest, when I wanted to go to Sandman Centre, I would walk Victoria Street and then down because it was a nice walk. You see more people now walking around that area — and you see more people not just taking a different route, but more people walking.”

The city has also raised the possibility of selling airspace above the centre to a residential developer, adding additional housing space to the downtown core.

Q: Why not spend the money on something else?

A: Much of the criticism of the proposed arts centre has been focused on priorities.

Does it make sense to build it over spending money on additional road and sidewalk repairs? Why not spend the cash preparing for the kind of large storms that have caused flash flooding in Sahali, Westsyde and other neighbourhoods over the past few years, or save it to deal with those repairs?

Gas-tax and gambling funds have restrictions on how they can be used.

Current gas-tax rules don’t mention social housing, for instance, and were only recently changed to

allow the funding of cultural projects.

But, there have been plenty of suggestions for what the city could do with the $16 million from those funding sources, which would be put into reserves between now and 2020 (and the $2 million spent annually for the next 20 years after that).

KTW put some of those questions to Milobar, who argued the arts centre isn’t taking away from the city’s ability to deal with unwelcome surprises or fix its infrastructure.

“We’ve made sure anything in our capital plans we were planning on doing has not been touched,” he said.

“It hasn’t been scaled back. In fact, we’ve added some projects into the list while this discussion has been happening.

“We still have full flexibility to do what we’ve always wanted to do.”

In the event of another major storm, Milobar said the city draws on different funding, including provincial disasterassistance money, to deal with repairs.

He added it’s fairly common for the city to place gambling and gastax revenue in reserves for future projects.

The mayor argued the centre will be part of a “balance” for the city, a balance that sees some money go to shorterterm needs and some to longer-term projects.

“This is about constructing a building that’s going to last well into the future,” he said.

“Think back to when Memorial Arena was built — think back to 1947 and the size of Kamloops and building a 3,000-seat arena called Memorial Arena.

“It’s still in full use — and heavy use. These buildings get heavily used and it’s very short-sighted to say well, we don’t need it this year.”

Ultimately, however, this is a question only voters can answer.

Is the arts centre a priority worth spending money on — or not?

We’ll find out one way or another tomorrow night.

Q: What if the referendum fails?

A: There are a couple of prevailing theories,

but few seem to think the arts-centre conversation will end if the No side prevails tomorrow.

Nelly Dever, spokeswoman for the PAC Not Yet Committee, believes a strong No vote would signal to the city that it needs to revise its plan, with a smaller theatre and more funding from the arts community and private sector.

“If it’s a close No, I think the city might go, ‘Oh, it’s a close No, I’m not sure how we’re going to tweak this.’ Maybe it’s going to take another 10 years,” she said.

With a strong No result, Dever said, a revised proposal could be presented in the next few years.

Milobar also expects the demand for more performance spaces will send residents back to the ballot box to vote on another version of the project — but not for a decade or longer.

“If it’s not this project, and if this business case and plan isn’t acceptable, you’re right back to square one of paying money to create a whole new one,” he said.

“I can’t see a council in the near future wanting to tackle that.”

Including the cost of the referendum and consultants’ reports, the city will have spent more than $400,000 getting the arts-centre/parkade proposal to a vote.

In the meantime, the city will move ahead with building a parkade downtown on the Kamloops Daily News site, but Milobar said it would be more limited in its design.

“I don’t think the city building additional office space downtown on top of a parkade would be seen in good favour by the majority of people downtown because now we’re competing with the private sector for office space and we’ve used taxpayer funds to build a parkade right below our office space,” he said.

“Now, are we back to 1962 and building a concrete parkade that does nothing but park cars with nothing above it?”

When KTW ran that vision by Pooler, she groaned.

“We would hope it would look better than that,” she said.

THE REFERENDUM

K A M LO O P S C r i m e S to p p e r s WA N T E D

www.kamloopscrimestoppers.ca

FEEDBACK FROM THE ARTS COMMUNITY Tom Friedman, Kamloops Film Society: Q: Are you in favour of the PAC? A: The Kamloops Film Society board of directors (KFS) unanimously supports the PAC for a number of reasons, directors felt that having a PAC makes a powerful statement about the kind of city Kamloops is committed to, one that celebrates the arts and culture and one that provides another important venue for solidifying the city as a destination for tourists.

The PAC will provide both direct and indirect economic spinoffs, particularly for the downtown core. The PAC might be a very valuable venue for society events.

Q: How would your organization use it?

A: The KFS has had a good relationship with the Paramount Theatre, but could definitely see the studio PAC theatre as an added screening site, particularly for the annual Kamloops Film Festival. As the festival grows, we are likely to require more screens than those currently available at the Paramount. The PAC lobby could also be used as opening and/or closing night venues for the festival. Having additional downtown sites for film screenings would be a major gain for the society.

Margaret Chrumka, acting executive director, Kamloops Art Gallery: Q: Are you in favour of the PAC? A: The Kamloops Art Gallery is absolutely in favour of the performing-arts centre and parkade. We have seen how the gallery brings vibrancy to the downtown and engages people’s hearts and minds. A performing-arts centre will continue to enliven our community and provide more opportunities for performances and events to happen here.

Q: How would your organization use it?

A: The gallery is always looking for venues to host larger events and the performingarts centre will provide this opportunity. That the centre and parkade will also include storage space for the gallery’s permanent collection of art work is also significant as this space will need to be found in the near future and including it in a new build is a costeffective solution. Working space for artists is also a key consideration and we appreciate seeing the number of artists’ studios under consideration. We also look forward to the potential opportunity of showcasing more art work in the centre’s public spaces.

Q: Anything else you want to add?

A: The Kamloops Art Gallery attracts over 30,000 visitors in a year and many are from out of town and specifically come to Kamloops for our exhibitions. Providing these visitors with another opportunity to engage with visual and performing arts will work to keep them visiting our community longer and enjoying all the opportunities for shopping, eating, drinking and, ultimately, supporting our community.

Bill Jaswal, Jelly Events: Q: Are you in favour of the PAC? A: Yes, I’m 100 per cent in favour of the PAC! Q: How would your organization use it?

A: We would use it for music concerts, touring theatrical shows, comedy shows and for dance shows (i.e. Russian Ballet).

Q: Anything else you want to add?

A: 1,200 seats in a beautiful new theatre would be ideal for many smaller shows that we attempt to do in a theatre bowl set up at Sandman Centre. Many other artists refuse to play a scaled-down arena setup, so the PAC would bring in new shows. This theatre, if approved, would create an excellent setting for both the guests and for the artists. We have done many theatrical touring shows in the past that would love to play a theatre this size (Chicago, Wizard of Oz, Thomas The Train, Lord of the Dance). Some shows would consider Vancouver, Kamloops to Alberta as an option. They would love to break up the long travel.

Sharon Huuha, Kamloops Players: Q: Are you in favour of the PAC? A: Alas, I am not in favour of the PAC. I would be if it were free. Love the idea, but I think we are way ahead of ourselves in timing for that in Kamloops. The cost and burden for taxpayers/community is huge, especially when there are many other priorities.

I believe Sagebrush Theatre and Sandman Centre are adequate for now. If I saw a new high school first and one updated outdoor pool, some of those items for the ‘common’ folk, not to mention a few smaller items taken care of, then perhaps move on to a larger luxury project.

Q: How would your organization use it?

A: As a small group like the Kamloops Players, we cannot afford to use the Sagebrush and I can imagine what the cost of renting a new shinier facility would be. I can rarely afford to go to a show at the Sagebrush put on by Western Canada Theatre, so I am imagining ticket prices in a bright new PAC would be further increased to cover costs of just the operation. Only larger commercial entertainment companies can afford these kind of venues, so I am not too excited about the prospect.

Q: Anything else you would like to add?

A: I don’t believe a fancy expensive new venue will attract people and make Kamloops a tourist attraction. For me, reality wins out. It would be grand for some folks who have the bucks in their pockets and those who will line their pockets if the project goes through, but not at all grand for the whole of the community who has to shoulder the burden of paying for it. Sorry for being a Negative Nelly, but you asked and I like to be truthful.

Ray Nyuli, Entertainment Management: Q: Are you in favour of the PAC? A: Yes, because the city needs more venues with varying sizes for the audience.

Q: How would your organization use it?

A: I anticipate using the 350-seat black-box theatre because there is nothing of a similar size in the city. I bring in artists who would not sell the 1,200-seat mainstage.

The issue I confront is St. Andrews on the Square holds 135, the Pavilion Theatre holds 160, Sagebrush is too big for my roster, at 700. The Coast Kamloops Convention Centre Theatre holds 354.

Whatever number of seats you have is the wrong number of seats. You need a number of venues that fill that gap.”

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:

HOT: The new federal Liberal government.

Anybody who watched this week’s swearing-in ceremony in Ottawa can see the public reaction to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet was unlike anything we have seen in recent times.

For whatever reason, Trudeau has captured a nation’s attention and he will face a great challenge maintaining the momentum as he tackles the numerous promises and goals he has laid out.

Step 1 was immediately announcing a return to the mandatory long-form census, a decision that should be applauded from coast to coast to coast if we are to understand who we are and what we need to grow as a nation.

OUR

NOT: The miscreants who would dare insert needles in candy and hand out the treats on Halloween night, as apparently happened on the North Shore, in Colwood on Vancouver Island and in Toronto last weekend.

Thankfully, nobody was injured as parents found the objects before the candy found its way to the mouths of children.

Who would do such vile things? And why?

VIEW

HOT: Kamloops company Hummingbird Drones as it builds on its success.

The firm was contracted this past summer to use its drones to find forest-fire hot spots at night, with that information passed on to firefighters so they could find and douse the flames.

Now, Hummingbird is looking at using its technology to help find missing persons.

And, on Wednesday night, company CEO Robert Atwood was given Startup Canada’s Young Entrepreneur Award for British Columbia during a ceremony in Vancouver.

From PAC to Soviet dream?

T

he only thing left to do is vote on the proposed performing-arts centre and parkade — and, if the two advance polls are any indication, tomorrow’s referendum locations will be busy places.

I tend to think heavy turnout at advance polls means a No vote is likely as it seems people will take that extra step when they are opposed to something. Witness any municipal public hearing of the past decade.

If I am correct, it will be a damn shame.

Voters will decide tomorrow if they are willing to take a $38 hit each year for 20 years to help pay for the project on property that is now desolate.

It’s about $40 a year. Around three bucks a month. Maybe 75 cents a week. Yes, 40 bucks added to the latest ICBC or BC Hydro or MSP premium increase does add up and, yes, many in Kamloops have finances that are razor-fine.

But, really, three quarters per week for a remarkable facility that will join Riverside Coliseum and the Tournament Capital Centre as magnificent monuments in the history of Kamloops?

Why wouldn’t we jump at this opportunity?

We just elected a federal Liberal government led by a prime minister who has invigorated the country to not only think, “What if?” but also “Why not?”

It truly is as though we have awakened from a deep sleep and are now ready to burst forward with a frenzy of creativity.

Why not start in Kamloops with a proposal that is bold and aggressive and dares to exceed the comfortable and safe “just enough,

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS please” approach to life?

Damn the torpedoes, man. Why shouldn’t we reach for that brass ring? Why not dream big?

We did before and the Tournament Capital Centre program is proof positive thinking large can work.

Opponents cite the cost and argue the money should be spent on more important things.

The thing is, there will always be other things on which money can be spent. There will be always be other things with or without the PAC. And, a No vote succeeding does not mean Kamloops will magically have tens of millions for those “other things.”

It doesn’t work that way.

The Not Yet brigade’s problem can be found in its very name. It calls for a No vote without committing to those two letters itself.

If Not Yet, then when?

The problem is, if not now, never will there be as opportune a time when one looks at interest rates and an incoming government that ran on a platform of big infrastructure spending, social and otherwise.

To be frank, I am skeptical of

the $11-million in annual economic impact as stated in the city’s business case. Then again, I don’t care what that number is because sports and recreation and cultural services in municipalities will forever be subsidized.

We do not create soccer fields and build arenas to make a profit.

We erect them at a guaranteed dollar loss, knowing the annual taxpayer-led subsidy is investing in youth now so we won’t be forced to spend much more later on social services.

The No side has also been vocal is calling for the arts community to raise funds if they are so enamoured by the PAC proposal.

Opponents cry out: Why don’t they ante up?

They have, in the form of Ron and Rae Fawcett, a Kamloops couple that has committed a staggering $5 million toward the PAC cost if tomorrow’s referendum is approved.

That is 10 per cent of the $49 million cited in the referendum.

That is more than five per cent of the total cost of the project. In what other municipal project anywhere has such a massive guaranteed private donation been part of the equation?

I fear the Negative Nellies among us will carry the day and kill a once-in-a-generation vision from a council that has often wrongly been accused of having no vision.

Those who are adamant every taxpayer dollar be spent only on the absolute necessities in life are advocating a utilitarian existence, a dour Kamloops that could blend seamlessly into the Soviet Union of the 1950s, where practicality trumps attractiveness.

Sure, potholes will be abolished, but so, too, will creativity.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THANK YOU, KAMLOOPS — WE ARE BLESSED Editor: Our 21-month-old son, Sawyer Grant Jules, is at B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver as he fights medulloblastoma — a brain tumour.

When your child is diagnosed with cancer, you begin to live your life around numbers — blood counts, pills, rounds of chemo, surgeries/radiation, cycles, bills, absences and fevers, just to name a few.

It means countless days in the hospital, time away from siblings, time away from your other children, time away from family, time away from friends and time away from work.

It means sleepless nights and knowing this time may be worse than the last time, which included ICU, a ventilator, being sedated, vomiting blood, endless tears, the worst feeling of hopelessness and a growing strength in faith.

These numbers could mean the difference between

The family of Sawyer Jules is helping their boy in his battle against a brain cancer — and is grateful for public support.

life and death.

It is equivalent to fear of the unknown and hatred — hate for the evil disease that takes over lives and puts those affected in a time warp.

Our family wants to thank the community and businesses

of Kamloops.

Please know I have deep feelings about the generous acts.

I really appreciate their kindness and generosity more than words can say.

To all the businesses that donated items to the Silent

Auction For Hope For Sawyer, they are kind beyond belief and my family is so truly grateful.

To everyone else in the community, thank you so much for attending Hope for Sawyer and having a good time for a good cause.

I cried while I was on FaceTime because it is an amazing feeling that our son has so much support during his battle.

For all the donations and prayers that are being sent each day, it’s a blessing and so appreciated.

Sawyer and our family are lucky to have you all stand behind us.

Finally, a huge thank-you to Jay Froese for throwing Hope For Sawyer. He has touched our hearts in so many ways and we truly feel blessed.

THERE NEEDS TO BE A BETTER MODE OF TRANSPORTATION Editor: I am a disabled person.

I use a power wheelchair to get around town, but a recent evening was a nightmare for me.

I went to a friend’s house for dinner and, as usual, called for a taxi equipped for me and my wheelchair, only to learn neither cab company in Kamloops was running wheelchair-accessible vehicles.

I had no way to get home other than to take a bus.

I had to wait an hour in the cold and nobody was around.

I feel unsafe taking a bus in the evening and it was Halloween.

I was trying to get home quickly because I have a cat that was at home alone and afraid of noise from fireworks.

I had another friend who knows a disabled person who was also stranded and had to call him for help at 1:30 in the morning.

This is not the way it should be

for disabled people.

We need to be able to go out and not have to worry about how or if we will be able to get home safely.

I wrote to my MLA many times about problems like this one and have never received a reply.

I hope someone can help remedy this situation.

Canada has a new Liberal government and new environment minister — could that mean a new review process for Ajax mine?

Kamloops city council, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District and anti-mine groups lobbied the outgoing Conservatives repeatedly for a joint panel review of the proposed copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen, rather than the ongoing comprehensive review.

Critics of the comprehensive process have argued a federal panel, which includes public hearings, is the “gold standard” of environmental review.

The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency replied to a KTW query by email: “The Minister of the Environment and Climate Change has the authority to refer the Project to a review panel at any time during the comprehensive study process, provided the referral occurs before the release of the Environmental Assessment Decision Statement for the Project.”

Mayor Peter Milobar put the request for a panel review to two former Conservative environment ministers, Peter Kent and his successor Leona Aglukkaq, without success.

Milobar said he’s waiting to see if councillors wants him to make another attempt with Liberal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna.

Restoring public confidence in the environmental assessment process was a Liberal campaign promise.

In its election platform, the party

said it would review the environmental assessment process in order to “restore robust oversight and thorough environmental assessments of areas under federal jurisdiction.”

It also promised to make room for public participation.

“We don’t have a clear sense of what the Liberals are planning to do, how they’re going to approach environmental assessments and things like that,” Milobar said. “I guess time will tell here.”

Coun. Denis Walsh said he and other councillors opposed to the mine would likely be discussing the issue in advance of the next council meeting on Nov. 17.

Walsh said he thinks the mine’s presence near the edge of the city merits the review.

“I don’t think it’s too late at all,” he said. “I think they need to review some thing because the Conservative ideology was not to protect the environment in my opinion.”

Ajax parent company KGHM submitted its application for environmental review to the B.C. Environmental Assessment office and Canadian Environmental Assessment Association in September.

The application is supposed to be reviewed within 30 days, but the agencies granted an extension until Nov. 20, to allow the T’kemlups and Skeetchestn Indian bands (jointly known as Stk’emlupsemc te Secwépemc Nation) to spend more time reviewing the 18,000-page document.

The province has indicated it may need additional time to review the bands’ comments.

Alberta Conservative MP and former health minister Rona Ambrose (left) is the new interim leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. Ambrose visited Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative candidate Cathy McLeod’s campaign office on Oct. 8. McLeod was re-elected.

Ambrose takes Conservative helm CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP Cathy McLeod applauded the choice yesterday of former Conservative health minister Rona Ambrose as interim leader of the party.

Conservative MPs and senators voted to see Ambrose guide the party over the coming months as it chooses a permanent leader to replace Stephen Harper.

McLeod is former parliamentary secretary to Ambrose, who visited Kamloops during the election campaign.

“As I reflected on a number of her attributes, her reasonable fluency in French and previous

experience in opposition, she was my top choice,” McLeod said.

As interim leader, Ambrose has taken herself out of the running to become eventual party leader. Under Conservative rules, the interim leader cannot run for permanent status within the party.

“I feel that does give a competitive advantage,” McLeod said.

On the government side, Thompson Rivers University political scientist Derek Cook called appointment of Jody Wilson-Raybould as minister of justice “a remarkable change for the federal government.”

Wilson-Raybould, a former Crown lawyer and now Vancouver MP, was regional chief in B.C. for the Assembly of First

Nations. Cook said he expects one of her first acts will be to launch a long-sought inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women, particularly on Northern B.C.’s Highway of Tears.

Cook also noted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appointment of Ontario academic and human-rights lawyer Catherine McKenna as environment minister.

“These [two ministers] are very capable women who have raised expectations,” he said.

Despite the appointment of women to half the cabinet positions, however, Cook noted there are no women who chair the various cabinet committees.

“Decisions are made in those committees,” he said.

Company expanding use of drones CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops technology company that earned its stripes this past summer working above the fire lines is looking at using the same hardware and software to find missing people.

Hummingbird Drones was one of a small number of firms offered contracts this past summer with the B.C. Wildfire Service.

Using commercially available drones modified for the purpose, operators mapped out hot spots and smouldering areas in the mop-up stage.

Co-founder and CEO Robert Atwood said operators worked on fires this summer in the Coastal Fire Centre, where they mapped out 400 to 500 hectares at a session.

“Our operations occur at night, so we avoid aircraft,” he said.

While the unmanned aerial vehicles have the potential to fly remotely, for now they are over-

seen by a pilot who must keep the units in line of sight.

“We have people piloting them,” Atwood said.

“It’s not perfect technology. Ninety-eight per cent of the time we don’t need someone.

“The two per cent when something goes wrong, it’s important to have someone at the controls.”

Atwood said the company flew a total of 14 days and incurred no crashes.

After flight, the operator provides GIS mapping to forest firefighters showing where crews need to quench hot spots.

Most of that work is otherwise done via helicopters — an expensive proposition — or by crews carrying handheld infrared units.

Based at the Kamloops Innovation Centre in North Kamloops, Hummingbird Drones employs two engineers locally and another three in Kelowna developing hardware and software technology.

The drones are worth between $15,000 and $20,000.

Atwood called this summer’s work with B.C. Wildfire Service a trial. The company is hoping to obtain contracts for work next year.

“It’s been overwhelmingly positive so far,” he said.

In addition to doing work with the ministry and natural resource companies, Atwood said Hummingbird is working with Kamloops Search and Rescue to test its technology on finding people.

Similar to locating smouldering embers, it can put its drones in the sky to look for signature body heat in the forest or hard-to-reach areas.

“We can supplement their existing search methods,” he said.

AWARD-WINNING IDEAS — Atwood received Startup Canada’s Young Entrepreneur Award for British Columbia at a ceremony in Vancouver on Wednesday night.

raig Northey got the text on his drive to Kamloops — could he sing the national anthem at the Kamloops Storm’s home game?

“I think I was third pick that night,” he said with a laugh. “It was either me or the pre-recorded CD.” Craig had already intended to be in the crowd. He was making the trip from his North Vancouver home to the Tournament Capital to watch his son, Storm forward Wilson Northey, play in his sixth junior game, a Friday night matchup against the Summerland Steam.

But, before the question was even posed to Craig, who is best known as lead singer of the rock band Odds, it had to go through Wilson.

The 18-year-old had two conditions.

“As long as he’s cool with it and they don’t announce his name over the PA,” Wilson said with a smile. “I didn’t want to be a poor sport and not let Barry [Storm GM Dewar] use an actual singer.

“He stuck it out, he was a pretty good anthem singer, but I didn’t want the chirps coming my way.”

As it turns out, Wilson’s secret wasn’t as closely guarded as he had hoped. Teammate Ryland Chernomaz knew, but only because Wilson expected his longtime friend would recognize the elder Northey when he grabbed the mic.

Chernomaz promised not to say anything. Assistant coach Kyle Panasuk didn’t.

“Apparently, Kyle sewered me on the bench and said ‘Is that Northey’s dad?’” Wilson said.

Craig Northey, vocalist and guitarist with Canadian rock band Odds, has a son who plays for the Kamloops Storm.

“So, I think they all knew the whole game and didn’t say anything. But, they let me know after.”

Though it was his first time singing the anthem to open one of his son’s hockey games, it was far from Craig’s first O Canada performance.

In a coincidence, 20 years earlier, in February of 1995, Odds performed the anthem before a game between the Prince George Cougars and the Kamloops

Blazers at Riverside Coliseum, the night before the band opened for the Tragically Hip in the same venue.

It was one of the first anthems the group ever did and, legend has it, they caused some problems in the days to come.

“I went and visited Don Hay and everyone in the dressing room and got them to sign a jersey for a friend of mine and then invited them all to our show,” Craig said.

“We had alcohol in our rider and we got the boys all in trouble that night. They still remember. I ran into Shane Doan last year and they always remember . . . they remember the damage we did.”

Odds has always had a connection with the hockey world.

A handful of the band members play — though not well, Craig said. The group was the house band at Canada Hockey House during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver

2015 CHEV SILVERADO 1500 X/CAB 4X4

and at Rogers Arena during the Canucks’ 2010 and 2011 NHL playoff runs.

There are a few lesser known connections, too.

“Early on, we had a house gig in Vancouver at sort of a notorious club . . . and a lot of the Canucks would come there,” Craig said.

Living the same transient lifestyle as players, Odds always seemed to run into hockey players in airports around North America, too.

“We ended up building actual friendships with those guys and, as they got traded or moved around the league, you kept those friendships.”

The band still tours, though less often. Craig is in the early stages of an American tour with a different band — Art of Time Ensemble — and the rest of the group is performing on the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train.

They’re also working on a new record.

A lot has changed since the early days, when Odds toured the B.C. coast and they settled on their name after a band member wondered, “What are the odds of us ever escaping bullshit gigs like this?”

And, though he always dreads the day when his teammates inevitably learn of his dad’s profession and play Odds music in the dressing room, even Wilson said he likes a bit of the old man’s music.

“I don’t mind some songs,” he said with a smile. “But, I don’t like to admit it.”

On the road

The Storm (13-4-0-1) will be on the road to face the Kelowna Chiefs (9-5-2-0) in their only game of the weekend.

The club returns to Kamloops on Wednesday for a 5 p.m. game against the Chase Heat (10-7-1-0).

PACK’S PROGRESS ENCOURAGING ADAM WILLIAMS

Growing together

From a team that lost 49 consecutive matches to an honourable mention in last week’s top-10 ranking by Canadian Interuniversity Sport, the WolfPack women’s volleyball team has come a long way in Chad Grimm’s two seasons as head coach.

Still, Thompson Rivers’ veterans don’t think the team is getting its due.

“It’s pretty cool. It’s awesome to see the growth and Chad has been a huge part of that — he has brought so much life back into this program,” said fourth-year setter Katie Woo. “I still think, though, we’re under-ranked. I think that we have a lot more to show than people give us credit for. I think we’re still a little bit of an underdog team.”

A few more wins before Christmas would go a long way toward erasing the demons of years gone by.

Thompson Rivers enters the fourth weekend of league action with a 3-3 record, having split a pair of matches against the Calgary Dinos (4-2), a fellow CIS honourable mention, last weekend in Kamloops.

The club is in Winnipeg today for the first of two matches against the Wesmen (1-5), with hopes of climbing back above the .500 mark with a pair of victories.

The Pack will play the Brandon Bobcats (1-3) and the UBC-Okanagan Heat (5-1) before breaking for the holidays at the end of November, with the chance to finish the season’s first half in the thick of the playoff race.

Solid Brass Grand Ole Opry Belt Buckle estimate: $20-40

As tough as it was at the time, the WolfPack’s veterans believe two years of losses are, in large part, responsible for the success they’re currently having.

“For me, especially, coming from a very small town [Ponoka, Alta.], not very developed as a volleyball player, just the growth that I’ve had personally in the past couple years has been amazing,” said third-year middle Kaitlin Lomas.

“To be able to do that with your team is just an amazing experience. We wouldn’t have gotten this far if we hadn’t done it together. If we didn’t stick together through the struggles, we wouldn’t be where we are now. We wouldn’t be able to push through adversity now.”

Men looking to rebound

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Morgan Kolasa has been through the bad times, so she and her TRU WolfPack teammates are relishing a promising new era.

Though Brandon is another honourable mention and UBC-Okanagan is the top team in the nation, Thompson Rivers is a team that seems to feel it can beat even the country’s best.

“I think we’re starting to build that belief,” Grimm said. “We went into U of A the first night [of the season] and I think we had our shots to win that match and let it get away. But, I think we do believe we can compete with or beat everybody.

“That being said, with our league, it’s the truth — I think anyone can beat any-

body, it’s pretty tight.”

Grimm said a 6-6 record heading into Christmas would put his club in the thick of the playoff hunt.

He expects battles against Winnipeg, which has fought a tough schedule, Brandon, this year’s national championship host, and the topranked UBC-Okanagan in coming weeks.

And, while the season is still young, his team is already talking about competing for a spot at the CIS national championship.

“It’s fun,” Woo said. “It’s fun believing you can win.”

Losers of three straight and tied for last place in the Canada West, the WolfPack’s men (1-5) will look to rebound against Winnipeg (2-4) this weekend.

Thompson Rivers has six matches remaining before the holidays and will need to win five-of-six to finish the season’s first half at .500.

WolfPack volleyball will return to the Tournament Capital Centre next weekend for matches against the Brandon Bobcats.

Undefeated in exhibition play and ranked in the top five of Canada West’s pre-season coaches poll, Scott Clark must be feeling pretty good about the Thompson Rivers WolfPack heading into the 2015-2016 men’s basketball season.

“Hey, if towards the end of the season we’re saying the same things, then I’ll be pretty pleased,” Clark told KTW. His club will start the regular season tonight in Prince George against the UNBC Timberwolves.

“Right now, the reality of things is it’s so early in the basketball season — and this is kind of a relative type phrase — that nobody is really good. Now, some teams are going to be really good.

Hopefully, we’re going to be one of those teams that is really good,” he said.

Thompson Rivers polled behind only the Fraser Valley Cascades, the Saskatchewan Huskies, the UBC Thunderbirds and the Calgary Dinos.

Coming off an 11-9 campaign in 2014-2015, Clark and company

came within 14 points of the Canada West’s final four tournament last season, losing the third and deciding game of their quarterfinal series against the Saskatchewan Huskies 84-71.

They’ll be looking to take another step this year, but Clark said a final-four appearance isn’t the be-all and end-all.

“It’s always cliché — it’s taking one game at a time, trying to get a little better day by day,” Clark said.

“However good we are at the end of the year, as long as we’ve followed the process and enjoyed the journey, I’m OK with that.”

On the women’s

side of the ball, the WolfPack are coming off an 18-2 regular season in 2014-2015 and will look to improve on a post-season performance that saw the club lose to the Victoria Vikes in the third and

final game of their quarter-final matchup.

“I think we had a pretty tough pre-season, we lined up some pretty tough games, but I think we learned a lot through that and it has prepared us well,” said coach Scott Reeves.

The Pack managed to get the best of Victoria to close out their pre-season slate.

“I don’t really live in the past, the past doesn’t mean anything.

We’re just going to try and take each weekend as it comes and play well every weekend.”

KANE WILL NOT BE CHARGED 20s, recently signed an affidavit saying she did not want to press charges.

“The totality of the credible evidence — the proof — does not sufficiently substantiate the complainant’s allegation that she was raped

by Patrick Kane,’’ Sedita said, “and this so-called ‘case’ is rife with reasonable doubt.’’

Kane’s attorney, Paul Cambria, said he was not surprised.

“I agree that the case is rife with doubt,’’ Cambria told The Associated Press.

A person who answered the accuser’s mother’s cellphone hung up yesterday when contacted by The Associated Press.

The accuser’s lawyer, Roland Cercone, did not immediately return a message left seeking comment.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Prosecutors announced yesterday they will not bring rape charges against Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane, citing a lack of credible evidence in a case “rife with reasonable doubt’’ and the accuser’s decision to no longer co-operate in the investigation.

Erie County District Attorney Frank Sedita said a three-month investigation found physical and forensic evidence “tend to contradict’’ the accuser’s claim she was raped last Aug. 2 at Kane’s offseason home outside Buffalo.

“The DNA results lend no corroboration whatsoever to the complainant’s claim,’’ said Sedita, who decided against presenting the case to a grand jury for possible charges.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — A person familiar with the decision says the Detroit Lions have fired president Tom Lewand and general manager Martin Mayhew.

The person spoke yesterday with The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the team hadn’t announced the moves. ESPN first reported the firings.

Lewand was in his 20th season with the Lions, and his sixth as president. Mayhew became the team’s general manager early in the 2008 season when the team fired Matt Millen.

Both executives took the fall for a franchise that is struggling after having relative success in recent years.

Detroit is an NFC-worst 1-7 this season and has a bye this week.

Adidas to help in eradicating Native American mascots ANNE PETERSON

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

PROVINCIAL SHOWDOWNS

Captain Matt Needham and the surging Kamloops Blazers (6-8) are in action tonight in Vancouver against the Giants (4-8-2-1). Kamloops returns home tomorrow to square off against the Prince George Cougars (8-6) at Sandman Centre. Game time is 7 p.m.

Adidas is offering to help high schools nationwide drop Native American mascots.

The athletic shoe and apparel maker said yesterday it will provide free design resources to schools looking to shelve Native American mascots, nicknames, imagery or symbolism. The German company also pledged to provide financial support to ensure the cost of changing is not prohibitive.

Adidas announced the initiative in conjunction with the White House Tribal Nations Conference in Washington.

Adidas executives were among those attending the conference, which includes leaders from the 567 federally recognized tribes.

The company, which has its North American headquarters in Portland, Ore., also said it will be a founding member of a coalition that addresses Native American mascots in sports.

According to the group Change the Mascot, there are about 2,000 schools nationwide

that have Native American mascots.

The advocacy group said about a dozen schools have dropped Native mascots over the past two years and another 20 are considering a change.

Eric Liedtke, Adidas head of global brands who travelled to conference, said sports must be inclusive.

“Today’s announcement is a great way for us to offer up our resources to schools that want to do what’s right — to administrators, teachers, students and athletes who want to make a difference in their lives and in their world,’’ Liedtke said in a statement to The Associated Press.

“Our intention is to help break down any barriers to change — change that can lead to a more respectful and inclusive environment for all American athletes.’’

The voluntary program would give schools access to the company’s design team for logo redesign and uniform design across all sports. It seeks to be a collaborative effort with schools.

The use of such mascots has drawn increased attention and

controversy in recent years.

The NFL’s Washington Redskins have resisted appeals

by Native American and civil rights groups to change their name and mascot.

In 2005, the NCAA warned schools they would face sanctions if they didn’t change Native American logos or nicknames.

Some colleges kept their nicknames by obtaining permission from tribes, including the Florida State Seminoles and the University of Utah Utes.

Some states have taken action at the high school level.

Last month, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law that prohibits schools from using the term “Redskins.’’

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper recently ordered the creation of a commission to study the use of Native American mascots and come up with a list of recommendations for possible legislation In Oregon, the state Board of Education in 2012 ordered high schools to ban such mascots or risk losing public funding.

The schools have until 2017 to comply.

Obituaries & In Memoriam CHRISTINE ADELINE ROSE PHILLIPS Christine Adeline Rose Falardeau passed away at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice in Kamloops, BC on Monday evening October 26, 2015 at the age of 73 years.

Rose is survived by Richard Phillips Sr., her sons Glen Phillips (Dodie), Richard Phillips Jr., her daughters Glenda James (Kelly), Brenda Phillips (Marvin), Debbie Phillips (Norm) and numerous nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, her brother Leonard Falardeau (Tom), sisters Caroline Fortier (nee LaRue) and Flo Van Alstyne (nee Falardeau) (Fred).

Rose was predeceased by her parents Frances (nee Casimir) and Samuel Falardeau, sister Nellie Falardeau, brothers Jackie Falardeau and Louis Falardeau.

Rose was also a survivor of the Kamloops Residential School. She also enjoyed being with her family and visited them in Surrey, Kamloops, Savona and Edmonton as often as she could. Her long walks were as legendary as her late brother Louis. She could have easily qualified for the Olympics Fast Walking Team!

After her mother’s death, she ensured her younger sister Flo was secured in a good foster home and that she continued her education till she graduated. She had a strong work ethic and got her very first job in a Beanery in Blue River by fibbing about her age. Having nice cold beers was her only other treat in life.

The family would like to take this opportunity to thank those who offered their prayers, songs, generosity and support. Your thoughts are very much appreciated and will always be held in our hearts. We would also like to thank the former Chief Manny Jules and his mother Delores Jules (nee Casimir) for their guidance and support.

ROBERTO (BOB) DANIELE

Ask DRAKE

May 19, 1926 – November 3, 2015 Roberto (Bob) Daniele passed away after a brief illness, at the age of 89, at Royal Inland Hospital on November 3, 2015 to now be with his Heavenly Father in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Celebration Tea of Life

Bob will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 60 years, Rita; his son, Dr. Dean C. Daniele; grandchildren Patrick and Anthony Daniele and numerous loving family members, nieces, nephews and friends, especially Frank and Renza DiGeso, John and Marion DiGeso, Dora Paul, Vince and Diane DiGeso, Tony and Linda DiGeso, Rose Esposito and Cosimo Nesci. Bob was predeceased by his son Dr. Bruno Daniele, his parents Giosue and Flora Daniele, brother Joe Daniele, sister Anne Sands, and mother and father-in-law Giacoma and Cosimo DiGeso.

Drake Smith, MSW Your Cremation Expert

Q: Double Disposition?

Bob’s kindheartedness, gentleness, patience, politeness, sense of humor and trust in God, will be missed by all who were blessed to know him and his memory will continue to warm our hearts each day of our lives. His presence always radiated with peace and respect.

A: Laws in BC say that a deceased body must be “disposed of” and it can happen in one of two ways: burial or cremation. If it’s buried, the law considers “disposal” complete.

If it’s disposed of by cremation, it then has to be disposed of once it becomes ashes.

That second disposal can be complicated!

His unending love and concern for his wife and son, until the day of his death, will forever be remembered.

Thank you Dad for all the love you gave us. Your love will always continue to be felt in our hearts and inspire us forever.

Bob was born in Field, BC on May 19, 1926 to Giosue and Flora Daniele, who came to Canada from Italy.

He grew up in the Canadian Rockies until 1937 and had many fond memories of his life as a child being surrounded by the splendor of nature and the Rocky Mountains.

He then moved to Salmon Arm, BC and to Kamloops in the early 1940’s.

In 1942, he took up partnership in Storey’s Sandwich Shop in Vancouver, B.C. Bob volunteered for the Royal Canadian Navy in 1943 during World War II, training as a Radar Plotter at Cornwallis, Nova Scotia. Following the war, Bob returned to Kamloops to work with CPR Telegraph.

He married his loving wife, Rita in 1955 and he was forever grateful to her for all the love, devotion and attention she showered upon him during their life together.

Bob later spent time with Kamloops Glass. He retired in 1991 as Capital Equipment Buyer from Royal Inland Hospital after 17 years of service. He was a member of the Cristoforo Colombo Lodge.

Following retirement, Bob kept active helping with Valentinos Fashions and tirelessly assisting his son Dean with the opening and maintenance of Downtown Dental Clinic.

Bob enjoyed gardening, manicuring his shrubs to perfection, wine-making, Blazer games, but above all, the company of loved ones, family and the times he was able to spend with his grandchildren.

Prayers will be recited on Sunday, November 8, 2015 at 4:00 pm in Sacred Heart Cathedral. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated in the Cathedral on Monday, November 9, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. with The Reverend Father Fred Weisbeck Celebrant. Entombment will follow in Evergreen Mausoleum.

A gathering in Bob’s honour and memory will be held at the Colombo Lodge, 814 Lorne Street, following the services at the Mausoleum.

Our particular gratitude to the amazing Nurses and Physicians at Royal Inland Hospital for their compassion and care. You are truly the living Angels in our community.

Flowers are gratefully declined: donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, in memory of Mr. Roberto Daniele.

BILL ERICKSON It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bill Erickson on October 24th, 2015 after a brief illness, at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice. Bill was born in Mission, B.C. on May 28th, 1938; he was the youngest child of Einar and Edna Erickson. He is survived by his loving wife Eva of 50 years. It was his dream to live long enough for them to renew their vows on September 4, 2015 surrounded by family and friends.

He leaves behind his son Kelsey (Sandra) to take over the family business, daughter Judy (Geoff) and grandchildren Emily and Evan.

Bill always enjoyed being with his family and that was his priority. He loved being outside and enjoying a bonfire. Bill’s ongoing passion has always been heavy duty equipment, his company Deal Equipment which he started 50 years ago. His other love was traveling the world whether for business or pleasure.

He always wanted to see what was around the next corner. His love for knowledge made him also an avid reader.

At Bill’s request there will be no funeral or memorial service.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home would be greatly appreciated, in memory of Bill.

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Stephen Dunn on October 31st, 2015, at 93 years of age.

Steve was born in Hodgeville, SK, in 1922. He spent most of his life in the Lower Mainland of BC. After retirement, he moved to Rayleigh, or “Southern Rayleigh” he would say. Carpentry was his career choice, but sports definitely was his passion. He loved baseball the most. Having played the sport at a fairly serious level, he connected with people through sports his whole life. Many would gather through the years to watch a variety of games. He touched many with his kind soul, sense of humour, and his open door policy. The love of his life was Coco, his companion.

A special thanks to all his Rayleigh friends, who were dear to him.

As per Stephen’s wishes, no formal ceremony will take place.

In Loving Memory Of BETTY MARIE EVANS

WHO PASSED AWAY ON November 7, 2014

When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not here to see if the sun should rise and find your eyes filled with tears for me.

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry, the way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.

I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.

When tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart

Love your Family

We thought of you today but that is nothing new, we thought of you yesterday and the days before that too. We often lie awake at night when the world is fast a sleep and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy, we do it everyday, but missing you is heartache that never goes away. We hold you tightly within our hearts and there you will remain, until the joyous day arrives, that we will meet again.

We Love You, Your husband Dave, daughter Helen, sonin-law Mike, sons Jim, Robert and Art and grandchildren

t’s easy to confidently claim the Bible is the inspired “Word of God.” To actually believe everything it says is more challenging.

For instance, the Bible presents the earth as being flat.

Christians did believe this for centuries, but most modern Christians would regard anyone believing it today as a crackpot.

By now, many generations of “believers” have chosen to believe scientists instead of Scripture.

Many Christians may not even realize that a flat Earth is at the centre of biblical cosmology.

No doubt, their pastors are reluctant to mention it.

Throughout Scripture, God and heaven are portrayed as being “up.”

This doesn’t work well on a globe. “Up” for someone in the northern hemisphere places God at one end of the universe whereas someone gazing upward in the southern hemisphere would be looking billions of lightyears in the opposite direction.

Imagine a Canadian and an Australian praying together over FaceTime or Skype, both raising their heads and hands to heaven, but facing opposite ends of the universe.

This point may seem trivial, but it’s only the beginning.

Isaiah describes God as sitting “above the circle of the earth” (Isaiah 40:22, NRSV throughout).

The ancients believed the earth was a flat disk supported by a foundation of pillars: “The pillars of the earth are the Lord’s,

MICHAEL A. FENEMORE

You Gotta Have

FAITH

and on them he has set the world” (1 Samuel 2:8b). See also Job 9:6; Psalms 75:3; 104:5.

Isaiah further portrays the earth as God’s “footstool” — a flat surface with cylindrical supports (ch. 66:1).

Today, most Christians believe in a heliocentric system, i.e., a relatively stationary sun orbited by planets.

The Bible teaches the diametric opposite — a geocentric system through which the sun travels in a “circuit” from one end of the heavens to the other over a flat earth that “shall never be moved” (Psalms 19:6; 93:1b).

See also Psalms 96:10; 104:5; 1 Chronicles 16:30.

Although generally considered apocryphal, 1 Esdras agrees the sun follows a “circuit” (ch.

4:34).

Christian commentators, evidently, eager to align themselves with modern, mostly atheistic scientists, raise two objections.

First, they point to a puzzling passage where Job appears to create a contradiction by saying God “hangs the earth upon nothing” (Job 26:7).

They claim this suggests a globe.

However, hanging the earth on nothing could just as easily refer to a flat disk.

Basing one’s position on an

ambiguous verse that contradicts all the other evidence is not sound exegesis.

Secondly, they suggest God sitting “above the circle of the earth” could be referring to the rotating and revolving globe of modern science.

Many have cited this phrase to claim the biblical authors knew the earth was a sphere long before anyone else.

This is absurd.

Perhaps, the Hebrew for “circle” can sometimes refer to a sphere, but how could it in this case when all the other passages indicate a stationary, flat Earth?

Furthermore, as we have seen, placing God above a sphere hides half the earth and millions of people.

There is really no such thing as being “above” a globe.

However, sitting above a flat disk or “footstool” makes perfect sense.

The prophet, Daniel, supposedly received a supernatural dream in which he saw a tree so tall “its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the ends of the whole earth” (Daniel 4:11).

This would be impossible on a globe.

Those on the opposite side would never see the tree regardless of how tall it might grow. Moreover, there are no “ends” on a globe.

The New Testament assumes divine authorship of the Old Testament, so it would be fair to say its authors subscribed to Old Testament cosmology by implication.

However, we are not without a New Testament reference to the flat Earth.

Satan miraculously took Jesus “to a very high mountain and

showed him all the kingdoms of the world” (Matthew 4:8).

Again, this would have been impossible on a globe. It’s clear the author, Jesus and Satan were operating on the assumption the earth is flat.

In the end, not a solitary reference to a globe can be found anywhere in the Bible.

Of those authors who made any sort of reference to cosmology, all believed in a stationary, flat Earth.

Those who claim that scripture was inspired by God, but believe the earth is a spherical planet orbiting the sun are simply deluding themselves.

To maintain their position on biblical inspiration and authority, and avoid being considered hypocrites, Christians have no option but to renounce the teaching of modern science and declare by faith that the earth is flat.

I invite all the Christian pastors and priests of Kamloops to remove all doubt about where they stand on this matter by clearly stating their positions in the comment section below this article at the Kamloops This Week website.

KRISTY KIRKUP

OTTAWA — The federal Conservatives have chosen former health minister and Alberta MP Rona Ambrose as their interim replacement for former leader Stephen Harper.

There were eight candidates vying for the post, which comes with an extra $80,100 in salary, a car and driver and the residence of the official leader of the Opposition — Stornoway.

They included Alberta MP Mike Lake; Diane Finley, Rob Nicholson and Erin O’Toole from Ontario; and Manitoba’s Candice Bergen. Calgary MP Michelle Rempel and Quebec’s Denis Lebel ran on a joint ticket.

OTTAWA — The Liberal government must ensure there is an action plan to accompany an inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women, Perry Bellegarde, national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, said yesterday.

Bellegarde said his organization supports the inquiry, but he hopes it follows movement on longstanding problems, such as aboriginal housing and education.

“It’s not just about the inquiry,’’ he said.

“There also has to be an action plan and investments made in the root causes of this violence amongst our peoples.’’

per cent raise approved by the B.C. government for the fiscal year ended in March 2014.

The Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear the government’s appeal of an earlier decision to make the raise 4.9 per cent, plus an increase of the judges’ pension accrual rate from three to 3.5 per cent.

The cost of the retroactive raise is estimated at $2.67 million for that year alone. It remains to be seen if the judges will challenge the one per cent increase approved for 2014-2015, which brought their salaries to $236,950.

“This will have an impact on our fiscal

plan,” B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton told reporters.

“And, as you know, government has been in an environment of balancing the budget, and part of our philosophy on that is that provincial court judges’ salaries should generally fit into the same pattern that public service salaries fit into.”

Starting in 2013, the province negotiated five-year contracts with health care, social services and other unions with raises between one and 1.5 per cent per year.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong introduced the concept of “growth sharing” to

achieve longer labour settlements, with additional raises paid in years when growth of the provincial economy exceeds independent forecasts.

The judges’ association lost its initial challenge of the 2013-2014 raise, when B.C. Supreme Court Justice John Savage noted provincial court judges’ salaries had risen 45 per cent in a decade, from $161,250 per year in 2004 to $234,600 in 2013.

B.C.’s provincial Crown prosecutors, the salaries of whom are tied to those of provincial court judges, will receive the same retroactive 1.5 per cent raise.

B.C. failing at closing aboriginal education gap, auditor general says VANCOUVER — B.C.’s auditor general says the province has failed to close the education gap for aboriginal students in public schools.

released a report that finds the Education Ministry fell short of fully exercising its duties to make good on a 2005 commitment to raise First Nations graduation rates to those of non-aboriginal students by 2015.

The report revealed that high-school completion rates for aboriginal students rose from 49 per cent to 62 per cent over the 10-year period.

Creek are trying to determine if two violent incidents in the northeastern B.C. city are connected.

RCMP said no one was hurt Wednesday when three shotgun rounds were fired into a home, which has been seized while police investigate.

Three men were inside and insist the house was targeted in error, but they are not co-operating with officers and Mounties say they have since learned of drug activity in the neighbourhood.

Djokic back on stage with KSO DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Marc Djokic picked up his first violin when he was seven. It was a natural thing to do for the Halifax-born musician, who now calls Montreal home — his dad was both musician and teacher.

“I always heard my dad playing,” Djokic said, “and you want to imitate your parents — at least you do when you’re a little kid.

“To this day, I will play for him and he still teaches me.”

He’s learned his lessons; Djokic has won many prizes, has been praised for his rhythmic sense and natural phrasing and performs as a soloist with many of the top orchestras.

On Saturday, Nov. 14, he returns to share the stage with the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra for a program of works by Jean Sibelius, including

Djokic performed with the KSO a couple of years ago.

“I had a blast. I’m really happy to be going back,” he said.

He enjoys playing works by the Finnish

composer, who was born 150 years ago, and, although he plays Sibelius works often, it never is tiresome.

“Not if the music’s good,” he said.

Djokic will be playing a 1922 Fagnola violin, crafted by Annibale Fagnola, considered

F

resh paint is glistening on the west side of the Emerald Centre, stark against the greyish-green walls of the old Rendezvoux Hotel.

It’s been tagged and tarnished by the unmastered hands of rebels for some time but, today, the west wall is gleaming, yearning to be noticed by the stream of passing traffic that lately sits idle at rush hour.

The mural is the work of six students from Twin Rivers Education Centre (TREC), completed with guidance from artists Chris Bose and Nigel Szigeti.

It’s bright with vibrant colours, mostly composed by the teenaged group from TREC. Bose, a multidisciplinary artist, has been teaching street-art workshops at the alternative school for four years. Szigeti, a veteran graffiti artist, joined him.

Kids learn the techniques and styles behind graffiti art while pursuing a unique way to express themselves.

The Kamloops Art Gallery has supplied them with respirator masks fit for professionals.

“I think they really dig it,” Bose said.

“They get a chance to have access to supplies and equipment they ordinarily might not and get to do it in

DAVE EAGLES/KTW TREC teacher Alexis Brown, artist Nigel Szigeti, Christa Mullaly, executive director of the Canadian Mental Health Association Kamloops, and artist Chris Bose worked with six TREC students to complete the mural at Emerald Centre.

. . . why don’t we give “them opportunities to

express themselves and be creative — a positive — CHRIS BOSE thing.” a safe place, safe manner.

“It brings out teamwork in them because they have to work together, they have to communicate together, they have to get a long and those are really good skills for kids to learn.”

Bose said TREC approached him years ago to introduce street art to students.

“They had walls that were getting hit, tagged and whatnot and rather than come down hard and heavy on kids, why don’t we give them opportunities to express themselves and be creative — a positive thing?”

For the most part, classes use plywood as a canvas, but this opportunity saw the kids working on a

bigger stage.

TREC teacher Alexis Brown contacted the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA) in search of a wall that might suit a mural after some students expressed interest in working on a building, somewhere they could leave a real mark.

“We try to present them with different opportunities that help them feel positive and connected,” Brown said.

“I think it’s such a huge benefit to have our students out in the community and feel like they are a part of it.”

The KCBIA sits on the city’s co-ordinated enforcement task force, where general manager Gay Pooler heard

Christa Mullaly voice concerns over tagging at Emerald Centre.

Mullaly, the executive director of the Kamloops branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association, jumped at the idea of a new mural.

“This is an example of community coming together,” she said.

“It’s been a really nice way to bridge a couple of populations around something as lovely as art.”

The building in question has a storied past. It was a hotel plagued by drug- and crime-related incidences, but then transformed into a shelter that offers the homeless a first step toward housing.

Its evolution offers insight into why Mullaly suggested themes of hope, renewal, stability and growth be incorporated into the painting.

The final product features a large whimsical tree representing foundation, family,

roots and wisdom, a medicine wheel, because students wanted to incorporate indigenous themes, and mounts Peter and Paul to tie it to Kamloops.

It has tones of emerald for the centre. It has some black clouds, maybe mirroring the turmoil of the bad times. In the background is a sunrise, showing hope for a new day.

The themes relate to the students’ curriculum, Brown said, but a more important lesson was the real experience of creating something meaningful.

“This allows them a voice, to say something,” she said.

“We would hope all students really get that opportunity.”

LAURA MACRAE ART

Art show to give youth exposure Kit Langfield spends his days creating art through his job at Pirate Palace Tattoo Studios on Seymour Street.

In his off-work time, he creates other art on canvases.

On Saturday, Nov. 14, he’s joining other young artists — many of them locals with a couple from out of town — to share some of their creations

at a show at Heritage House, 100 Lorne St., from noon to 8 p.m.

Langfield said his goal is to expose the upcoming young artists to the community and perhaps help them sell some of their works. The group includes Kelly Wright, Laura MacRae, Rachel Dykerman, Amie Stolz, Riley Senuinas, Jack Urquhart

and Nicole Lincoln.

Langfield wants to include a variety of media in the show and has sought out artists who do abstracts, sculpture, airbrushing, modern art and even graffiti.

Admission is free and it’s family-friendly, with the proviso parents ensure young ones keep their fingers off the works.

ELIZABETH KING PHOTO

TOP SQUIRREL

Kamloops photographer Elizabeth King saw a little red squirrel — but the B.C. SPCA saw an award-winning photograph in its annual Wildlife-in-Focus contest. King’s photo of the squirrel won in the backyard habitats category. The photo will be featured in the spring edition of the SPCA’s Animal Sense magazine. More than 600 photos were submitted in the contest, which runs from June through September and encouraged photos of green spaces, roadsides, beaches and backyards to find wildlife living in close proximity with people.

MBA students take on competition The goal was simple — just beat UBC. In its first appearance in the recent B.C. MBA Games, the team from Thompson Rivers University did just that, placing second.

Teacher Bernie Warren said he laid out the challenge while the 12-member team was on the bus, heading down to Nanaimo.

“They did awesome,” he said, noting the team only lost to host Vancouver Island University.

Kenny Glass, one of the TRU competitors, said the main goal of the group was “to spread the word about TRU’s MBA program.”

The event included a case competition, with each team getting the details at 9 p.m. on the first night and having to present its case to judges 12 hours later.

There was a team sports competition as well, a

ANA, GENERAL MANAGER WORKING AT CHARTWELL SINCE 2005 CHARTWELL.COM

dragon-boat tug of war on the final day, an event Warren said wasn’t TRU’s strongest moment in the three-day event.

But, he added, other schools had two-dozen or more students on their teams, while TRU’s dozen “had no bench strength.”

Both teacher and student agreed the Pecha Kucha competition was the most challenging — but also brought the greatest fun to their work.

Crated in Tokyo — the name means chit-chat — it involves a series of 20 slides that flash online for 20 seconds each. Teams must create a story that goes along with the illustrations.

Warren said he was particularly proud of his team during that component because not only did they do “a totally awesome job, they presented it with wonderful humour, too.”

Twelve awards were created this year to celebrate Volunteer Kamloops’ 30th Anniversary, recognizing individuals in the community who have embodied the true spirit of volunteerism.

A full-time student in the Master of Education program, Wu hails from Shenzhen, China, and has volunteered at the Thompson Rivers University Writing Centre since January.

She volunteers more than any other tutor — five hours per week — and offers additional tutoring for international students while maintaining her busy study schedule.

Wu is an active and diverse volunteer at TRU. She is assisting again for the second annual

In addition to volunteering at the centre, Wu was the master

of ceremonies for the Chinese New Year Dinner and Dance in February.

She also volunteered as a moderator for the International Research Conference in March 2015.

Volunteer Kamloops described Wu as a delight to work with

thanks to her positive personality and care for students.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS MUSEUM CHRIS MCBEATH

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

W

hether you’re in Ypres for a vacation or a battlefield tour, there are two must-sees: The Menin Gate, one of Europe’s most iconic memorials to the First World War, and the In Flanders Field Museum, which brings you up front and personal to the pointless carnage of that four-year, hellish struggle.

The fact both sites are in Ypres is appropriate because, through the ages, the city has thrived with cultural, commercial and architectural wealth — all of which was razed to ashes during the First World War. As you walk the streets of Ypres, however, it’s hard to believe every cobblestone underfoot and brick of the gabled storefronts and surrounding medieval buildings were painstakingly picked out of the rubble to recreate Ypres as it was.

Far longer than a football field and more than 200 feet high, The Cloth Hall, which now houses the museum, is among the most impressive.

State-of-the-art touch screens, video projections, soundscapes and more than 2,000 original artifacts immerse you in a ‘life-atthe-front’ experience.

A microchip-equipped poppy bracelet lets you choose language preference and activates various interactive displays, including those involving the personal stories of four individuals within the larger picture of the Great War. One is a Dutch girl, six years old when the war broke out and orphaned shortly afterwards.

If you follow the museum’s prescribed route, you’ll wind your way through the war in chronological order, from the build-up of hostilities pre 1914 to

The Cloth Hall (above) houses the In Flanders Field Museum, where more than 2,000 original artifcats, such as gas masks (left) immerse visitors in the First World War.

peace four years later.

In between, you’ll be bombarded with heart-rending horror and mesmerizing visuals — trenches of mud, lice and rats; make-shift dressing stations for the wounded; a walk along the wire of No Man’s Land that once stretched for 400 miles from Switzerland to the English Channel.

A whistle blows, and on never-

before-seen old footage, you’ll see soldiers scramble over the top toward you as shells blast open the ground beneath them.

Then comes a sudden quiet of the Christmas Eve Truce — the softness of carols — the pathos of Stille Nacht.

Like the truce, it lasts but a moment in time and you are quickly drawn back to the reality, most poignantly through the

words of the soldiers themselves from all sides — men from more than 30 countries fought in this war.

Some accounts are chilling.

For example, in a letter home, Julien Grenfell writes: “Then the German behind put his head up again. He was laughing and talking. I saw his teeth glistening against my foresight and I pulled the trigger very steady. He just gave a grunt and crumpled up . . . I adore war. It is like a picnic without the objectlessness of a picnic.”

About 500,000 soldiers died in the years 1914 to 1918 in some of the bloodiest conflicts in history, to which the region’s too numerous graveyards bear testimony.

Some sites are as they were: haphazard necessities hurriedly

dug 100 years ago.

Others, though, continue to grow in uniform rows as freshly tilled fields constantly unearth the archeological debris of war as well as skeletal parts of unrecovered bodies.

With more than 100,000 soldiers still listed as Missing in Action, their names are etched on many a battlefield memorial.

If forensic science can give the bones an identity and therefore a grave, that soldier’s name is removed from the memorial.

At The Menin Gate, more than 500 names have been smoothed from the marble over the years, though the walls still carry 54,389 names of Commonwealth soldiers yet to be found.

It’s an enduring legacy that fuels the bugles of The Last Post every night, without fail.

Because Ypres was at the epicenter of battle, it is the deserved gateway to keeping the First World War relevant to contemporary audiences.

Not only does it explore the consequences of the Great War and how we view it, it enables us to reflect on our role in conflict today.

The final exhibit is provocative: a tally of all the major wars around the world in which the Red Cross has been involved since the War to End All Wars ended.

The list is at 130 — and counting.

As sobering as that may be, a visit to Ypres is to witness a truly remarkable renaissance.

Out of the ashes, this beautiful city has reclaimed its heritage and offers an enduring story of hope, peace and remembrance.

And, in visiting the In Flanders Field Museum, you begin to understand that journey.

Ellis Stanchfield, husband of Cruising columnist Kate Ashby, takes in the solemn scene in Normandy.

PAYING HOMAGE TO SOLDIERS IN FRANCE

evastation, fear, terror, courage and pride — these

words describe my thoughts as I walk between rows of graves in the Canadian Cemetery near the Normandy Landing beaches in France.

I was there on October 13, 2015.

Powerful and humbling, it is a memory I will reflect on forever.

The tour guide is speaking to our small

Kamloops, BC You are cordially invited to join me for an informative evening on travel and cruising with a focus on river cruising. Kate’s presentation is in conjunction with Spencer Watson.

group of Canadians through our headsets.

She is speaking softly with passion, telling the story and painting the picture of the D-Day invasion.

“Facing formidable gun emplacements, machine-gun nests and snipers, the brave Canadian soldiers did not hesitate in their advance. Determined officers led their welltrained platoons to take out the enemy strongholds.

“Countless times the soldiers showed acts of valour by engaging the enemy in vicious close-quarter fighting. Soldiers lost their close friends in this fighting and somehow found the courage to keep going.

“Through the terror of the battle, the disciplined soldiers pushed on to overcome the enemy positions.

“The fierce battles were won by the bravery of the individual Canadian soldiers and the collective actions of their regimental units.”

“Fourteen-thousand young Canadians stormed Juno Beach on D-Day. Their courage, determination and self-sacrifice were the immediate reasons for the success in those

critical hours.

“The fighting they endured was fierce and frightening. The price they paid was high — lives were lost.

“The opposition the Canadians faced was stronger than that of any other beach, with the exception of Omaha. This was an accomplishment in which the whole of Canada could take considerable pride.”

We continued in silence, reading headstones and absorbing the impact of this fateful day.

My husband and I walked hand in hand as he proudly wore one of his father’s Second World War medals on his chest.

More than 70 years after D-Day, the Normandy coast is peaceful, with lovely seaside towns and pic-

turesque beaches.

You will find cobblestone streets and quaint thatched-roofed homes adorned with window boxes overflowing with flowers.

Behind the coast is an old-fashioned farming landscape of grain fields, cattle and pastures, hedges and farmhouses.

But, the memories of war and D-Day are ingrained in the landscape.

Along the 50-mile D-Day invasion coast are the remains of German gun emplacements and bunkers, while war memorials and monuments mark where the allied forces landed on the beaches.

Inland, there are monuments in almost every village and at every bend in the road, for there is barely a square yard that wasn’t fought over.

Beautiful cemeteries overlooking the sea and countryside are essential stops along the way to understand and reflect on the human cost of the war.

Along the coast and inland are numerous D-Day related museums.

Only by visiting do you get a proper idea of the vastness of the D-Day operation.

When you visit, take time to stroll on the beaches and through the villages and to drive country lanes that are once again regulated by rural rhythms, as if they’d never been devastated at all.

It’s pretty and poignant.

Visit the Juno Beach Centre and War Museum, which pays homage to the 45,000 Canadians who lost their lives during the Second World War, of which 5,500 were killed during the Battle of Normandy and 359 on D-Day. There’s respect in the air and a common bond between visitors and the locals.

French people will be happy to see you.

Our Canadian soldiers are remembered and your welcome will be warm.

The Normandy Beach Day Tour was an experience of a lifetime as we cruised the Seine with Avalon Waterways: Paris to Normandy Landing Beaches River Cruise.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Lest we forget

The Kamloops Remembrance Day ceremony will get underway at the Riverside Park cenotaph shortly after 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 11.

More than 2,000 people are expected to attend.

Royal Canadian Legion Branch 52 president Craig Thomson said that number seems to grow every year.

“Remembrance Day is supposed to be a day to remember our veterans,” Thompson said.

“It’s a day to come out and pay your respects.

“By coming out and being part of the ceremony, it shows the older veterans, and the younger veterans, how many people care.”

At 10:45 a.m., the cenotaph guard will arrive, followed by the colour party and veterans party at 10:50 a.m.

Two minutes before 11 a.m., O Canada will be recited, followed by The Last Post, a two-minute moment of silence, a fly-over by Canadian Forces fighter jets, The Lament and Reveille.

The ceremony will end with the placing of wreaths on the cenotaph, followed by an 11:30 a.m. parade out of the park, ending in the 500-block of Victoria Street.

Thompson said all veterans are welcome to join the parade and walk with their fellow soldiers.

Following the service, all Kamloopsians are invited to visit the Legion at 425 Lansdowne St. for refreshments and entertainment

I N THE HEART OF KAMLOOP S

No matter which area of the city you live in or amount of news you read, there is one topic that has been at the forefront of almost every conversation — the proposed parkade and performing-arts centre and the referendum accompanying it.

No matter where you stand on the issue, there have been a number of arguments to support your viewpoint but we here in Downtown Kamloops are in full support of the project.

We aren’t in support just because it’s going to be a new, bright and shiny building. There are a host of other reasons and goals, ones we have been working toward for a long, long time.

Among the reasons you have heard, one of the most important is parking. Parking and our lack of it has been a roadblock for the centre of the city — and, by default, the city as a whole.

We haven’t had a parkade built downtown since 1972, have a large waiting list at the existing parkades for monthly passes and a 200-stall parking deficit was identified a decade ago.

How does this affect the city?

There are many companies looking to move to Kamloops or expand and they would love to be downtown.

We have the space for them, as there is more than 100,000 square feet of empty commercial and office space, but they can’t find parking for their employees.

They end up locating elsewhere.

You have to think of your downtown like the heart of your city. If your heart is not healthy, all your limbs weaken. In order to maintain a vibrant, healthy city, you must take care of your downtown.

The KCBIA embarked on a parking solutions study in 2012. The outcome of this study included creating a parking infrastructure fund, which in turn was used to purchase the land in question.

No one wants to see just a parkade built there.

Modern community planning has proven singleuse parkades are an eyesore and create black holes in our neighbourhoods.

It just makes sense that we would build our parkade in a multi-use building, one that would see those parking stalls full in the evening as well as in the day.

This project is essentially two projects for the price of one and a half.

It is at this time opportunity has met possibility, a possibility for economic growth, a possibility to grow the city with arts, just like we grew it with sports, and an opportunity for development.

Take a look at our latest federal election.

With overwhelming support, Canada voted for just these things: change, opportunity, growth, investment in infrastructure and optimism.

Let’s do it again and lets vote for progress — a parkade and performing-arts centre.

Vote YES tomorrow.

Customer care, year round Downtown’s customer care and patrol team is going year round. Since the program’s inception in 2004, the seven-person team has patrolled the city centre’s streets every summer, working as tourism ambassadors, engaging guests, running the visitor information centre and acting as a second set of eyes and ears for RCMP. Now, the program will last all year with a fiveperson team patrolling the streets through the winter, as well. Funding from government, the community and downtown businesses has made the program extension possible.

“Every year when the summer program ends, the CAP team is really missed,” said team co-ordinator Timothy Crowe. “The businesses just love having us and it’s been something the members have been wanting for quite a while.”

While Crowe said they will be doing a lot of experimenting to see where they are needed in the winter months, they plan to take on projects similar to the ones they do in the summer, such as alley cleanups.

“Our goals are to be patrolling as much as we can as well as taking on some projects that will enhance downtown and hopefully we will be able to make an even bigger impact,” Crowe said.
