CAVERS WILL CARRY GREEN FLAG IN ELECTION ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

When the province went to the polls in 2013, Premier Christy Clark liked to point to the recent successes of Alberta’s long-governing Progressive Conservative Party as a sign the B.C. Liberals weren’t ready to be put out to pasture.

Flash forward a few years and it’s newly announced Green candidate Donovan Cavers invoking the province next door to convince voters he may have a shot at a seat in Kamloops-South Thompson.

“I know that we have a lot of work to do, but I think there’s a lot of people in B.C. looking for something new,” said Cavers, arguing the unexpected majority successes of Alberta’s NDP and the federal Liberals last year could be a sign people here are also hungry for change.

Cavers announced yesterday at Zack’s Coffee in downtown Kamloops that he is seeking the Green nomination as the party’s candidate.

He will face incumbent Liberal MLA Todd Stone and Communist Party of B.C. candidate

Beat Klossner. Nancy Bepple is seeking the NDP nomination.

The second-term city councillor is no stranger to Green campaigns.

Before winning a seat at city hall, Cavers ran for the federal Greens in 2008 and again in 2011, when the party’s first candidate dropped out of the race.

A vocal opponent of the proposed KGHM Ajax copper and gold mine as a city councillor, Cavers was quick to single out the mine as a major issue for his campaign, calling the project too close to city limits and irresponsible.

“I’m going to make sure I hold Todd Stone’s feet to the fire on that,” he said, adding he feels the incumbent BC Liberal MLA and transportation minister has been too hands-off on the issue.

Campaign finance issues will also feature heavily in Cavers’ campaign.

“Mr. Stone and the B.C. Liberals have accepted nearly $60,000 from KGHM,” Cavers said.

“Provincial donation rules are so archaic that

PSYCHIATRIC NURSING In response to an overwhelming demand for Psychiatric Nurses throughout BC, particularly outside the Lower Mainland, Stenberg College has offered its online-based Psychiatric Nursing diploma program since 2006.

political parties in British Columbia can accept donations from not just out of province, but out of the country,” he said. “ Who here thinks it’s completely shameful that big corporations from Poland and China can and do fund candidates here in British Columbia?”

He also criticized the B.C. NDP for taking donations from large unions, noting the Green party only wants to take funds from individuals.

As with Mayor Peter Milobar, who hopes to secure the Liberals’ nomination in KamloopsNorth Thompson, Cavers said he will take a leave of absence from council once the election campaign begins in earnest.

Unlike Milobar, Cavers said he plans to cover the entire cost of a byelection to replace him if he is successful.

While the party’s nomination period doesn’t end until 5 p.m. today, Cavers said so far only he and Dan Hines, an Anglican priest and facilitator who plans to run for the party in Kamloops-North Thompson, have stepped forward as candidates.

The Bears Are Back in Town In the past 14 days alone, there were 37 reports of black bears in the city - compared to only 6 in the first half of August - including reports of bears in garbage, fruit trees and encounters with livestock. There have also been 6 reports of cougar sightings in this 14 day period.

As hibernation season approaches, and fruit is in abundance this fall, it’s especially important to be mindful of bear attractants in your neighbourhood.

Do your part to help reduce human/wildlife conflict by following these tips: • Pick fruit daily as it ripens or before it ripens if you don't intend to use it.

• Freeze pungent waste and store garbage inside until pick up.

• Rinse recyclables.

• Do not put meat, oils, dairy or un-rinsed eggshells or cooked foods into the compost bin.

• Turn your compost regularly and cover with leaves or soil to help decrease odours.

• Store livestock feed inside or in wildlife-resistant containers.

Bear Bylaw Residents are reminded not to place their solid waste containers out before 4 am on collection day between April 1st and November 30th and to not accumulate or improperly store bear attractants. Violators are subject to a $100 fine.

To report an aggressive or habituated bear, call the RAPP line at 1-877-952-7277. Check out the bear sightings map at: www.wildsafebc.com.

parts of the riding have been lightly attended. The largest was in 100 Mile House, where 20 people showed up. She said she doesn’t oppose electoral change, but believes Canadians need to first vote in a referendum.

“This is an issue, frankly, I think should go to the people,” McLeod said.

But critics note a referendum on electoral change in Canada has never been successful.

“I don’t know if it requires a referendum,” Thompson Rivers University political scientist Derek Cook said. “It’s a good idea if we have enough time. That would mean an objective discussion of the consequences.”

Two subsequent referenda after the Citizens’ Assembly both failed.

But McLeod said the Campbell government set the threshold — 60 per cent popular vote and majority in 60 per cent of the ridings — too high.

McLeod said she would be satisfied if 50 per cent of voters cast a ballot for change.

But what would be the question?

Cook believes it could be as simple as asking if Canadians want to change from first-past-the-post.

If a majority is in favour, a select group of parliamentarians or others would be tasked with coming up with the best alternative.

Cavaletto is skeptical. She believes vested interests within Canada’s political parties will resist change that would force them to alter the way they do business.

“I don’t think it will ever change,” she said.

“With the parties, I don’t think they’ll let it happen.”

LEFT OUT OF A WILL?

Has your spouse or parent recently died leaving you little or nothing in his or her Will?

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

Do you have Renters Insurance?

Renters insurance helps protect your personal property when you rent a home. We see many losses where a renter has no insurance leaving them with no help to repair or replace their damaged possessions when a loss occurs.

While many renters focus on coverage for belongings if their home is ever burglarized, it’s also important to think of coverage for fire and water damage.

A renters insurance policy may provide coverage on belongings for: • Fire or Smoke • Explosions, lightening, windstorm or roof collapse • Freezing or sudden discharge of plumbing systems • Water from a fire sprinkler system or appliance This list will vary depending on the insurance company and policy purchased but the best thing to do when a loss occurs is to call the content processing experts at ServiceMaster.

A B.C. Supreme Court justice has ruled the Crown did not prove an offender had knowledge or control of a sawed-off rifle and stolen handgun found in a furnace room of a North Kamloops home.

Justice Keith Bracken acquitted Steven Bartkowski, 45, of four weapons-related charges related to the guns found inside a duffel bag.

But Bartkowski was convicted of possession of a prohibited weapon — a Taser-type device shaped like a set of brass knuckles found in the suite — and of possessing a weapon or firearm when he was under a lifetime ban.

“One can’t resist a strong suspicion the accused well knew what was in the bag and was storing it there to keep it secret . . .” Bracken said in his ruling.

Nonetheless, he said the Crown did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt Bartkowski had knowledge and control of the contents of the duffel bag found in the furnace room.

No fingerprints were found on the guns or duffel bag.

Defence lawyer Don Campbell argued police had “investigative tunnel vision” when, finding no drugs, they attempted to link the firearms to Bartkowksi.

Bartkowski testified friends and acquaintances came and went in what police called a typical drug house, located on

Chestnut Avenue.

The Crown acknowledged the case was based on circumstantial evidence. There was also potential access via an upstairs suite.

Acting on a tip regarding a mid-level drug operation, police raided the basement suite in March 2014. They found only trace amounts of drugs.

Bartkowski will be sentenced at a later date.

He was one of three men charged following the 2002 slaying of Noel Thibault, whose charred remains were found in a vehicle abandoned at a gravel pit just outside Victoria.

Originally convicted of firstdegree murder, Bartkowski successfully appealed and was eventually handed a nine-year sentence for manslaughter.

Response team for victims DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre (KSACC) is creating a response team to more quickly help victims of sexual assault.

KSACC executive director Charlene Eden said those who volunteer for the team will take 48 hours of training over 16 weeks through the agency and with other orga-

nizations in Kamloops with expertise in the area.

Training is to start in November and volunteers will be asked to commit one weekend every eight weeks, between Friday at 4:30 p.m. and Monday at 8:30 a.m.

Volunteers will also be on call in pairs and will have a KSACC staff member on call for backup and support.

The project is a partnership with Royal Inland Hospital and

is aimed at providing support, information and advocacy within seven days of a sexual assault.

That support could include emotional and informational help, accompanying people to the hospital and advocating for them during the medical examination.

Volunteers will also be with victims during police interviews and will provide referrals to supports and services.

The team will also provide support to family and others close to the victim.

It was not a lucky day for a 7-Eleven employee who stole about $2,500 worth of lottery tickets from his employer before quitting his job.

Richard Thomas Fraser, 30, pleaded guilty Wednesday in provincial court to theft and mischief for events that took place in August of 2015.

Crown prosecutor Oliver Potestio said a store manager at the Tranquille Road 7-Eleven noticed recently purchased lottery tickets missing from a locked cabinet.

She contacted the B.C. Lottery Corporation and Kamloops RCMP.

$1M scratch win

Investigators soon traced the stolen tickets to a series of validations at a number of North Shore retailers between Aug. 21 and Aug. 23, 2015.

The store manager discovered the cabinet could be opened by a key to which all employees had access. She suspected Fraser, who called in sick on Aug. 20 and quit the next day.

Investigators reviewed video from the retailers where the tickets were validated.

About $160 worth of winnings was collected before the lottery corporation froze the ticket numbers so they could not be cashed. Several days later, RCMP were called to the home of Fraser’s mother after she told them her son tossed a wrench through her window.

Penny Hand did what many people would do if they won the lottery — she asked for time off work as a new millionaire.

“I told my boss I might be away for the rest of the week,” Hand said after collecting her winnings this week at the BCLC head-

Defence lawyer Chris Thompson said Fraser suffers from crystal-meth addiction and recently showed mental-health issues, including hearing voices, that disturbed his family.

Fraser has no criminal record and is now in a treatment program.

“Except for his addiction, he seems to be an upstanding person,” Thompson said.

“The addiction seems to have fuelled the theft.”

Judge Stella Frame accepted a joint submission from Crown and defence, giving Fraser a 90-day conditional sentence order with a month of house arrest. He must also serve a year of probation and repay the amount of missing lottery tickets from his former employer.

VIEWPOINT

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK is a politically independent newspaper, published Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 1365B Dalhousie Dr. in Kamloops, B.C. V2C 5P6 Ph: 250-374-7467 | Fax: 250-374-1033 e-mail: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

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

HOT: Once again, politics.

Last week, North Shore Business Improvement Association executive director Steven Puhallo announced he is running for the B.C. Liberal nomination in Kamloops-North Thompson. This week, Mayor Peter Milobar also entered the race.

Yesterday, Donovan Cavers, the Kamloops councillor, was unveiled as the Green candidate in Kamloops-South Thompson. Add to those names Nancy Bepple (NDP), Barb Nederpel (NDP), Beat Klossner (Communist Party of B.C.) and Peter Kerek (Communist Party of B.C.) and is it evident the provincial election campaign is extremely robust in the Tournament Capital.

The election is on May 9, 2017, but the campaign has already started.

OUR

VIEW

NOT: The federal Liberal government for deciding against holding a vote in Parliament before sending troops to new peacekeeping

assignments.

The Liberals argue voters gave them a mandate to deploy soldiers on United Nations peacekeeping missions and, therefore, do not need to poll all MPs. Perhaps, but even former prime minister Stephen Harper held votes on some military-deployment operations. Besides, with a majority in the House of Commons, there is no danger of losing the vote.

HOT: The good, old hockey game.

Yes, it’s that time already as Canada’s national winter sport again hits the ice, with the junior B Kamloops Storm opening the season tonight at their new home — Memorial Arena.

Faceoff is at 7:35 p.m., but a party for fans will begin at 5 p.m.

No need for costly byelection

I

f Mayor Peter Milobar manages to defeat Steven Puhallo for the B.C. Liberal nomination, then win the Kamloops-North Kamloops riding and become MLA, there is no need for the City of Kamloops to waste more than $100,000 holding a byelection to fill the mayor’s chair.

We emphasize the “if” in the above sentence as the battle to replace Terry Lake as the B.C. Liberal candidate north of the river will be fierce. Both candidates have deep connections and will work hard to sign up and convince new party members to show up and vote on nomination day.

Again, if Milobar prevails in securing the nomination and winning the seat, he will wake up on May 10, 2017, as rookie MLA for KamloopsNorth Thompson and mayor of Kamloops halfway through his four-year third term.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s B.C. director, Jordan Bateman (himself a former city councillor and, before that, an ink-stained wretch) has suggested Milobar cover the costs of a byelection to fill his seat.

Bateman pointed to Dan Ashton, the former mayor of Penticton who pledged to pay for a byelection if he was successful in his bid to become an MLA in 2013. Ashton was elected and, true to his word, he cut a cheque for $32,000 to the City of Penticton.

The problem with Bateman’s suggestion is the difference in dollars between Ashton and Penticton and Milobar and Kamloops.

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS What cost $32,000 in Penticton three years ago would cost $120,000 or more in Kamloops next year, according to city hall.

The Tournament Capital is about three times as large as Penticton population-wise.

Area-wise, Kamloops absolutely dwarfs the South Okanagan town. Penticton covers a mere 41 square kilometres, which is why it was able to hold its mayoral byelection by using a single voting station. Kamloops covers an area of 297 square kilometres — seven times the size of Penticton — and needs multiple polling places in a city so spread out.

Aside from the financial and geographical facts, there is the argument Milobar raised during his interview with KTW’s Andrea Klassen: byelections are a necessary cost of the democratic process.

Surely nobody can begrudge an ambitious man who has risen from councillor to multi-term mayor from seeking higher challenges in Victoria. Yes, when he sought re-election in the 2014 civic election, he was, in essence, asking voters to give

him a four-year mandate. But when Milobar won on election night, there was no indication Lake would be serving his final term as Liberal MLA. (There was, however, a general acceptance as early as this past spring that Lake would not be seeking re-election.)

However, before we delve further into the matter of byelections, voters should know there is no need for one.

Under the Community Charter, city council could grant Milobar an unpaid leave of absence from May 9, 2017 (the day he would be elected MLA) to Jan 1, 2018 (the first day of the next municipal election year).

From then, Kamloops city council would operate as is, with one fewer member and with other councillors sitting in as acting mayors (exactly as would happen for the remainder of 2017 following the provincial election).

It has happened before, as voters in Langley (Peter Fassbender) and Surrey (Marvin Hunt) can attest.

They can also attest their respective cities did not collapse into anarchy.

Entire provincial and federal ridings are left without an MLA or MP for weeks and months at a time following resignations — and life manages to carry on just fine.

An eight-member city council with an acting mayor(s) will ably steer the city for 17 months, if necessary — and taxpayers should appreciate such frugality. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: BASS COLUMN: A CALL OUT TO THE LESS THAN $15 AN HOUR CLUB:

“Milton Friedman gives a three-minute, 38-second talk about minimum wage on YouTube.

“It is an old talk, but still pertinent for today. If anyone is really interested in this subject, they should listen to this talk.”

— posted by Richard Lodmell

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

THE U.S. ELECTION IS CANADA’S BUSINESS Editor: An open letter to the American electorate, some of whom live in Canada and are able to vote in the November election: I hesitated to comment on your election until a friend in North Carolina urged me to do so. As a world power, your politics affect every world citizen.

Similarly, but to a lesser extent, every country’s politics affects the United States, it is also our business.

My mailing list includes 16 Americans, nine or more of whom are Republicans. Most seem to be reluctant Republicans with Donald Trump as the nominee.

If the majority are reluctant, why is Trump doing so well?

Most of my contacts are from the Greatest Generation, born from 1930 to 1946, or Baby Boomers, born from 1946 to 1964.

I have erroneously ignored the Millennials, born from 1982 to 2004 — and therein lies much of Trump’s support.

The Greatest and the Boomers may not have experienced declining income over several years or may not have experienced lay-

offs. The Millennials are suffering this now.

Ideally, voters would list off 20 issues, weigh them and check off Democrat, Republican, Independent or Write-In. They would then vote for the candidate with the most checks. It is ideal, but may have to wait until normalcy returns in 2020.

If Millennials are having difficulty putting food on their kid’s table, they will not be thinking about Islamic State, a finger on the button for nuclear weapons, diplomacy or political correctness.

They will be thinking about jobs in their own community, about Made in USA, about immigration and about walls. They will not care about deporting two-million immigrants and their kids or about barring Muslims.

They will side with someone who speaks their street language and maybe even uses racial insults and profanity. That is where Trump is winning.

You may be a Republican like my North Carolinian friend.

He wrote: “I never intended to vote for her, but pretty much from Day 1, I knew I would never vote for The Donald. So, I believe we

have two of the worst candidates in U.S. history. I hate to admit it, but I’d put Hillary in office and most likely spend the next four years hating myself. I am still sticking with my original game plan and voting for the independent.”

Nov. 8 may be the most important election in decades. Please don’t throw your vote away on an independent as it will only serve Trump. If you are undecided, vote Democrat, even if you have to hold your nose. Then wait it out until 2020.

Hopefully, this election will also awaken the electorate in Canada.

Whomever is elected, hold them to their commitments. Hold them to what is right for you and not for what is wrong. You can’t complain if you did not participate.

Hold your nose if you must, but either way, advocate for your position and vote.

Remember Brexit.

Sincere apologies if my American friends are offended, but it is Canada’s business, too.

Beefed-up anti-bullying policies in B.C. schools DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Education Minister Mike Bernier was emotional yesterday as he took part in a press conference announcing enhancements now required for school anti-bullying policies.

He told the media he thought of his own daughter when he introduced the requirement for explicit references to sexual orientation and gender identity be added to policies in public and independent schools.

Bernier said his daughter, now in her mid-20s, “came out of the closet when she was 19 and told me about the problems she had had in school . . . so this is important for me in a personal way.”

The changes will bring schooldistrict policies in line with amendments passed in July to the B.C. Human Rights Code that include gender identity and expression as prohibited grounds of discrimination.

During the announcement, Brad Beattie of the ARC Foundation announced it would donate

$150,000 to the ministry to help create a sexual orientation and gender identity education advisor.

The Vancouver-based foundation supports projects that address awareness, respect and capacity to improve the status of those marginalized by their sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity or financial status.

The ministry estimates five per cent of the province’s student population identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-sexual or queer and 64 per cent of them have reported they feel unsafe at school.

Consider a suicide-prevention workshop Tomorrow is World Suicide Prevention Day — and the B.C. division of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) and crisis centres across the province are calling on British Columbians to sign up for a suicide-prevention workshop.

According to the CMHA, approximately 4,000 Canadians die by suicide every year.

For every one of those deaths, it is estimated that there are as many as 20 attempts.

The Canadian Medical Association Journal reports suicide is the second-leading cause of death among Canadians aged 15 to 34, after motor-vehicle accidents.

The CMHA said Canada is one of the few developed nations with-

out a national suicideprevention strategy with significant funds, goals and a commitment to reduce the rates.

“In addition to creating a national suicide-prevention strategy, we need to have a national conversation that encourages all Canadians to come forward and take action to help people who are in extreme emotional

pain,” said Bev Gutray, CEO of the B.C. division of the Canadian Mental Health Association.

The CMHA has information on suicideprevention, including: • Gatekeeper, which involves two-day and three-hour sessions focused on how to respond to someone contemplating suicide; • Mental Health First Aid, which helps build skills

COUNTER & CABINET INTELLIGENCE

to respond to people with mental-health issues; • Family Navigation, which connects those 25 and younger with services; • Bounce Back, a telephone-based program for people with anxiety or other mental-health issues who need to talk about tools to help them; • Talk Today, a partnership with B.C.

and Canadian hockey leagues to teach their players how to respond to someone considering or just talking about suicide.

For more information on training, contact Shannon Hecker of the CMHA by email at shannon.hecker@cmha.bc.ca, More information is available online at shuswap-revelstoke.cmha. bc.ca.

Courtney Russett helped with last year’s Rotary Food Drive and Kamloops will again be filled with volunteers tomorrow as yellow bags of food are collected from homes and delivered to the Kamloops Food Bank.

Tomorrow is Rotary Food Drive The yellow bags have been delivered in editions of KTW and a veritable army of volunteers are ready for tomorrow’s semi-annual Rotary Food Drive.

For the second time, everything is centred on the food bank location itself at 171 Wilson St. in North Kamloops. The campaign was moved in-house in the spring after using the Interior Vault location in past years.

Drivers will be out at 9 a.m., scattered throughout the city,

Shine on at SaveOnFoods

looking for the filled bags left on doorsteps.

If a house is missed, volunteers ask that the bag be taken to a grocery store.

Last year, the food bank served 759 children under the age of five, 1,266 kids ages six to 18, 3,816 people ages 19 to 59 and 580 people 60 years of age and older.

It also supported 44 community agencies, distributed 1.1-million pounds of perishable foods and 551,192 pounds

One of the country’s largest postsecondary fundraisers is coming to Thompson Rivers University.

The Shinerama program began in 1960 in Ontario and, since then, has seen more than 35,000 students from 50 universities and colleges across the country raise money to help fund research into cystic fibrosis. To date, the program has raised about $26 million.

TRU’s students are calling their version of the fundraiser Shine Day and

of non-perishable foods.

The two food drives last year saw 120,000 pounds of non-perishable food items collected, bringing the total for the campaign since 2008 to 710,000 pounds.

Next week sees the return of the Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign for the food bank, when special cookies will be sold between Sept. 14 and Sept. 20 for $1, with proceeds going to help the agency.

will be at the Sahali Save-On-Foods on Saturday, Sept. 17 with a barbecue, raffle tickets and donation bins.

It’s being organized by respiratorytherapy students Michaela Jyrkkanen and Shelby Ellis, who will be joined by several dozen other students to help establish the event in the city.

Money raised goes to Cystic Fibrosis Canada to its research and care programs. Shine Day runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

HALIFAX — You don’t need to be obese to stand up for the rights of obese people, the Federal Court of Appeal has ruled in a case over “discriminatory’’ airline seating policies.

The appeal court ordered the Canadian Transportation Agency to take another look at a passenger rights advocate’s complaint over Delta Air Lines’ policy of bumping obese travellers or making them buy two seats.

The agency had dismissed Gabor Lukacs’ complaint because it found he didn’t have standing since he was not obese and wasn’t directly affected by the practice.

“I’m very pleased with this decision,’’ Lukacs said yesterday before heading into a classroom at Dalhousie University, where he teaches mathematics.

“It recognizes the basic moral principle that you are allowed to stand up for the rights of others. It is a simple question of solidarity.’’

In its 16-page decision released Wednesday, the federal appeal court

unanimously agreed the agency erred in law. The three-member panel found that the fact that someone may not be directly affected by a practice should not prevent them from filing a complaint.

“If the objective is to ensure that air carriers provide their services free from unreasonable or unduly discriminatory practices, one should not have to wait until having been subjected to such practices before being allowed to file a complaint,’’ the panel wrote.

“There is no sound reason to limit standing . . . to those with a direct, personal interest in the matter.’’

The agency said in an email statement it is reviewing the decision and could not comment.

Lukacs said that while the decision deals with one particular issue, it could open the door to more people being able to file complaints with the agency, a quasi-judicial tribunal mandated to provide consumer protection for air passengers and ensure accessible transportation.

“From now on, the Canadian Transportation Agency cannot toss out a complaint on the grounds of standing,’’ said Lukacs, who was awarded $750 to

be paid by the agency.

“It will have to look at whether the complaint has some merit.’’

The complaint stemmed from a 2014 email from a Delta customer care agent to a passenger who felt he was “cramped’’ on a flight by a large passenger.

The passenger notified Delta, which provided him with an explanation of the airlines guidelines.

In apologizing to the man, Delta said it sometimes asks large passengers to move to an area of the plane where there is more room, “purchase additional seats,’’ or take another flight.

Delta did not respond to a request for comment.

At the time he filed the appeal in April, Lukacs argued that dismissing his complaint simply because the issue didn’t affect him personally was akin to disregarding someone’s concerns over contaminated food just because they weren’t made sick by it.

As well, he said he has a demonstrated expertise in the area of passenger issues, having filed more than two dozen successful complaints with the agency and, as a result, bringing about improvements to the industry.

PM asked to shut down NEB The current federal review process of energy projects needs to be shut down and overhauled immediately, say more than 50 environmental and activist groups in a letter sent to the prime minister.

No pipeline projects should go forward until Justin Trudeau reforms the National Energy Board (NEB), says the letter, which was also addressed to Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr.

That means the current review of the Energy East pipeline proposal for Eastern Canada and the NEB’s decision to accept the expan-

sion of the Trans Mountain pipeline in Alberta and British Columbia need to be annulled, they argue.

“If the government wants to restore public confidence in the [review] process and they want a fair, objective and evidence-driven analysis, they need to overhaul this thing,’’ Patrick DeRochie of Environmental Defence, one of the letter’s signatories, said in an interview.

The activists say the NEB board members are in a conflict of interest and First Nations communities are not being properly consulted.

Moreover, they argue the review process doesn’t properly explain to citizens how Canada can build pipelines and expand Alberta oilsands production while also respecting the country’s greenhouse emission targets.

The groups that signed the letter include Greenpeace and the Sierra Club Canada Foundation.

Trudeau campaigned in 2015 on the premise that Canadians had lost confidence in the NEB process after what he claimed were years of Conservative government meddling that made pipeline

approvals foregone conclusions.

The Liberals put in place interim measures at the NEB — such as increased consultations with aboriginal groups — to give more legitimacy to the Energy East and Trans Mountain reviews while the government reforms the federal body.

“It’s inconsistent to say the process is flawed, create interim measures and then review these pipelines without going through the entire modernization process as they had promised,’’ DeRochie said.

Canadian swims across English Channel MICHELLE MCQUIGGE

THE CANADIAN PRESS

A 30-year-old Toronto man has become the latest Canadian to successfully complete a solo swim across the English Channel.

Samuel Bail finished the roughly 32-kilometre swim on Tuesday, taking 15 hours and 25 minutes to swim the distance between England and France.

According to the Serpentine Swimming Club, Bail becomes the 28th Canadian to complete the open-water swim since 1951.

Bail said he decided to attempt the swim after triathlons and marathons left him feeling in need of a bigger challenge.

He spent 18 months training for the swim, increasing his endurance and putting on at least 18 pounds of fat to help stave off the frigid temperatures he’d encounter in the water.

Bail said completing the channel swim felt more rewarding than any of his past athletic accomplishments.

“I was happier and more emotional than I thought I would be,’’ he said in a telephone interview from his home in London, England.

“I’ve done lots of other long, physical things . . . and I don’t get emotional at the end of

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING NOTICE

Physiotherapy get thrown a little bit by the fact that it’s pretty recent.

“And having this guy be in particularly good shape makes it strange,’’ he said, adding that he took comfort in the fact there have been just three deaths in the past five years.

Bail said the presence of his fiancee and cousin buoyed his spirits as he made the crossing.

Both travelled alongside him by boat to offer food and moral support, he said, adding his fiancee even jumped into the water to join him four times throughout the day.

The misery he felt for the bulk of his swim gave way to optimism with about four hours to go, he said, adding his spirits didn’t flag even upon realizing that he had missed his preferred destination and now had farther to go.

The route he chose began near Dover, U.K., and was supposed to end at a French land mass known as Cap Gris Nez, but Bail said he was “way off’’ and had to find land further along the coast.

Bail returned home to London shortly after completing the swim and plans to celebrate his accomplishment over the weekend “by meeting some friends in Hyde Park and plunging back into the water.’’

it ever, and I certainly didn’t expect to for this time either,” he said.

“But it was a harder day than I thought and, for a lot of the swim, I was sure I would not finish.’’

Bail said the conditions for his swim were ideal in many ways.

His training efforts had once involved hacking a hole in the ice of a lake in southern Ontario and jumping in for a dip, so the channel’s water temperature of 16 to 18 degrees C was near the top end of what he had come to expect.

Winds were minimal and the water was relatively calm, but Bail said he felt “absolutely miserable’’ for the first 11 hours of the swim.

He had to contend with some soreness and nausea that made the crossing difficult, as well as the recently reinforced knowledge that the crossing can be a deadly dangerous undertaking.

Just a week earlier, experienced British swimmer Nick Thomas, 45, died while attempting to cross the channel on Aug. 28.

Bail said the knowledge that the swim could kill someone in the prime of life and health was a sobering fact he was unable to ignore during his own journey.

GATINEAU, Que. — The national broadcast regulator should ban TV providers from removing bundling discounts from customers who opt for mandated, cut-rate, basic TV service, consumer groups told hearings yesterday.

The call came as the Public Interest Advocacy Centre and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission revealed they had been “threatened’’ by at least two service providers over information posted online designed to aid consumers in finding better TV services.

Removing bundling discounts amounts to discrimination and runs contrary to the intent of new rules designed to provide consumers with greater choice and flexibility in buying TV services, said

PIAC executive director John Lawford, who also represented the Consumers’ Association of Canada at the hearings.

“We believe practices such as the removing of the availability of bundling discounts and of certain services, including video-ondemand and free previews, subject certain basic service subscribers to an undue disadvantage, which is not justified,’’ Lawford told the CRTC. “These practices deter customers from switching or subscribing to the skinny basic.’’

CRTC chairman Jean Pierre Blais questioned why PIAC removed a page from its website offering consumers comparisons of cable and satellite TV services.

“We were threatened with . . . not a lawsuit.

It didn’t get that far,’’ Lawford told the panel,

as he described letters and emails PIAC received about its website content.

Blais responded the CRTC had received similar letters and suggested he would welcome legal action over the regulator’s online consumer tools.

The CRTC hearings examined the rollout of so-called skinny basic TV services after the commission received hundreds of complaints about how TV providers were offering the $25 basic packages mandated effective Mar. 1.

PIAC legal counsel Alysia Lau argued cable and satellite companies can’t be counted on to unilaterally change marketing practices and the regulator should act to remove restrictions some providers imposed on customers who wanted to switch from more expensive channel packages.

“The (CRTC) should impose rules that would protect consumer choice,’’ she said.

But Blais questioned why the regulator should force service providers to offer across-the-board discounts, likening the TV pricing models to the those offered by the major airlines.

The difference, Lawford said, was that airlines charge more when they provide more services, while the TV providers were removing discounts from customers simply because they wanted to pay less for essentially the same service for which they were paying higher rates.

The big four service providers — Bell, Shaw, Rogers and Videotron — told the hearings they have learned lessons from the rollout and are adapting their marketing practices in response.

STUDY SUGGESTS ONE IN FIVE TEENS CONSIDERED SUICIDE THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A new study suggests one in five Canadian teens has seriously considered attempting suicide in the previous year.

The survey by Kids Help Phone found 22 per cent of more than 1,300 respondents thought about taking their own life. Almost half of them had also formulated a plan.

“That is concerning,’’ Alisa Simon, vice-president of the national help line’s counselling services, said of the findings released yesterday.

“What we really want to do is to be thinking about what’s the conversation we need to be creating in Canada. What are the prevention opportunities now?’’

“Do we teach young people from a very young age to talk about suicide, to talk about mental health, that reaching out for support is critical? And what to do if a friend comes to them in need.’’

A key step would seem to be “breaking down the stigma, breaking down the barriers’’ to seeking help, noted Simon, adding that the survey did not delve into why kids had considered suicide.

Girls appeared twice as likely to have seriously considered sui-

cide as boys — 67 per cent girls versus 33 per cent boys — while almost half of the teens who had considered suicide did not speak to anyone about it.

Data also revealed teens reporting suicidal thoughts tended to experience violence at home or at school (27 per cent), concerns about body image (75 per cent) or addictions to drugs and alcohol (23 per cent).

These kids were at least twice as likely to seriously consider suicide compared to the general teen population.

A primary indicator seemed to be whether a teen had searched the web or social media about suicide — more than half of teens who considered suicide (55 per cent) also searched online for information.

“That is not necessarily a negative thing,” added Simon.

“Young people are often going to find support, they’re often going to find others that anonymously they can connect with potentially who understands what they’re experiencing,” Simon said.

“There is no longer a line for young people between their online and off-line worlds and it is misleading to believe that somehow the Internet is the cause of all sorts of problems.’’

But understanding how

youth connect, as well as the barriers they face to seeking help, is crucial to helping them cope with myriad stresses, she said.

Heading back to school is an especially stressful time for many teens.

“We often see an increase in contacts to Kids Help Phone around back-to-school when young people start feeling quite nervous about the fact that maybe they’re changing schools because they’re moving up a grade, maybe they’ve experienced bullying or some sort of challenges in school that they’ve had a respite from over the summer.’’

The Teens Talk 2016 report is based on a national online survey in May of 1,319 teens aged 13 to 18, statistically representative of age and gender across each province.

Some other findings: • 22 per cent of teens surveyed had considered attempting suicide in the previous 12 months; • of teens who considered suicide, 46 per cent thought about how, when and where they would attempt suicide and 47 per cent didn’t speak to anyone about it; • 69 per cent of girls and 31 per cent of boys reported body or self-image concerns.

Documents detail Transport Canada concerns with Ambassador Bridge THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Internal government documents show Transport Canada officials quietly expressed concerns last year about the structural integrity of the busiest bridge connecting Canada and the United States during a months-long public furor over maintenance and safety issues.

The concerns focused on the concrete deck of the Ambassador Bridge that supports the roadway thousands of vehicles use annually to carry people and goods between Windsor, Ont. and Detroit, Mich.

Briefing material provided to Marc Garneau

WINNER

shortly after he was appointed transport minister show the company that owns the bridge promised to carry out work on the deck, but Transport Canada officials didn’t believe the work addressed their concerns.

The Canadian Press obtained a copy of the document under the Access to Information Act. Transport Canada officials say the Canadian Transit Company, which owns the Canadian side of the Ambassador Bridge, has started to address the concerns first raised about two years ago.

They didn’t detail work to date and the company has not returned multiple messages seeking comment.

GLOBAL VIEWS

Is the Islamic State really losing?

W

GWYNNE DYER

World

WATCH

ord on the streets is that

Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL to its many enemies) is going under.

In January, it lost control of the city of Ramadi in Iraq after a long siege. In June, it lost Fallujah. In March, it lost Palmyra to Syrian government troops.

Last month, it lost

Manbij in northern Syria to the U.S.-backed Syrian Kurds after another long siege.

These are all places ISIS took in mid-2014 in its initial surge of conquests (which ended with the proclamation of the Islamic State) or in the subsequent year of slower advances that ended with the capture of Ramadi and Palmyra in May 2015.

Since then, it has

been nothing but retreats — and Turkey has now entered the ground war in Syria as well, to fight Islamic State and “other terrorists.”

To cap it all, Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, the closest associate of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi and the man who proclaimed him to be the head of a revived Caliphate (Islamic State) only 26 months ago, was

killed in a U.S. air strike on Aug. 30.

He was the organization’s chief propagandist and a senior operational commander and he will be missed.

But the streets on which “the word” about Islamic State’s impending defeat is being heard are in Washington, not in the Middle East.

People on the ground know things have not been going well for

Islamic State recently, but they remember that just one year ago, it was Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria that was teetering on the brink of collapse.

Russia’s military intervention in Syria last September saved Assad and it will probably be the Turkish military intervention in Syria this year that saves Islamic State.

Not that President Recep Tayyib Erdogan loves Islamic State — he used to let it use Turkey as a transit route for recruits and supplies, but that largely stopped a year ago — but he doesn’t see it as Turkey’s main enemy.

For Erdogan, the big threat is the secession of the southeast corner of the country where Kurds (20 per cent of Turkey’s population) are the local majority. All the countries next to that corner of Turkey (Iran, Iraq and Syria) also have Kurdish majorities living along the border and the Turkish nightmare is for one of those areas to become an independent Kurdish-ruled state.

That is exactly what has been happening in northern Syria. The Syrian Kurds made themselves available to Washington as America’s main ally on the ground and, with huge help from American air strikes, their army has driven Islamic State back all along the border. It now controls a deep strip of territory along 80 per cent of Syria’s border with Turkey, a proto-state the Kurds call Rojava.

This is entirely Erdogan’s fault. If he had been loyal to Turkey’s alliance with the United States and closed the border with Syria, neither Islamic State nor the rival Islamist movement, the Nusra Front, would have grown to dominate the entire Syrian rebel movement.

But he didn’t close it because he was so keen to overthrow Assad that he backed anybody who was fighting against him.

Faced with the threat of an Islamist-ruled Syria, Washington made a de facto alliance with the Syrian Kurds and

they have served it well in the fight against Islamic State. But that just makes them a bigger threat in Erdogan’s eyes, so he sent his army into Syria.

Not very deep into Syria so far and, of course, to justify this intervention to the United States, Erdogan has said it is to fight “Islamic State and other terrorists.”

But since Turkey always officially refers to Washington’s Kurdish allies in Syria as “terrorist,” it doesn’t take great geopolitical insight to figure out Turkey’s main target.

Islamic State is well aware of this, which is why it evacuated the border town of Jarablus, where the Turkish army crossed into Syria, without a fight. Why not just step aside and let the Turks make contact with their real target, the Syrian Kurdish army, without wasting everybody’s time?

Contact has now been made and Turkey is busily shelling and bombing Kurdish-led forces in Manbij, the next town south from Jarablus. The coming months will probably see a steady expansion of Turkey’s offensive against the Syrian Kurds and a corresponding drop in the latter’s military effort against Islamic State.

Naively (or was it just fake naivete?), U.S. Secretary of State Ash Carter called on Turkey to stay focused on the fight against Islamic State and not to engage the Kurds.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim curtly replied that “operations will continue until all terrorist elements have been neutralized, until all threats to our borders, our lands and our citizens are completely over.”

So, the Syrian Kurds will be busy fighting the Turks and Islamic State will survive.

It is an iron rule of Middle Eastern politics that everybody always betrays the Kurds eventually — and Washington will, too. gwynnedyer.com

PIVOTAL MATCHES FOR WOLFPACK ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

yan Glanville’s words at the Thompson Rivers WolfPack’s pre-season press conference might have been made with this weekend’s men’s soccer matches in mind — the UNBC Timberwolves (0-4) are in town.

“When you ask the question about getting to that next level, it’s squeaking out wins that were previously ties or handling business against teams that we should be beating,” he said.

Though Glanville declined in interviews this week to single out the Prince George club as a team the WolfPack (1-3) should be handing its business against, history tells the story.

UNBC is still searching for its first win of the season, has been outscored 11-2, has yet to qualify for the playoffs in its four-year history in the Canada West and has never won more than three matches in a season.

If the WolfPack are the club they think they are, UNBC should be 0-6 after this weekend.

“UNBC, although they’ve improved, they’re obviously on the other end of the spectrum, kind of like us, where they’re a fairly new program to Canada West, along with UBC-Okanagan,” Glanville said this week.

“Those are the teams that will really help our playoff chances if can get those points out of those teams.

“These are the games that are definitely critical if we’re going to stay in the playoff hunt.”

Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. both tomorrow and Sunday.

Thompson Rivers is looking to rebound after a disheartening trip to the Coast last weekend, during which it lost 1-0 to both the Fraser Valley Cascades (2-0) and the Trinity Western Spartans (4-0).

After nearly holding on for a draw in a 2-1 loss to the UBC Thunderbirds and routing the Victoria Vikes 4-1 to open the 2016 campaign, Glanville said the Wolves

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

It’s not too early to start talking about the playoff race in the Canada West men’s soccer ranks. In order to get to the post-season, the TRU WolfPack (in white in this photo) need points at home this weekend, with the UNBC Timberwolves in town.

were “gutted” after their matches against the Spartans and Cascades — they had expected to leave the Lower Mainland with points added to their record.

Looking to this weekend, both Glanville and WolfPack head coach John Antulov described the Timberwolves as an organized team — one that is difficult to break down and get opportunities against. Though the visitors don’t have the firepower to go toe-to-toe offensively against the Canada West’s best clubs, the Wolves are being careful not to get ahead of themselves.

“We have had success against them in the past, but that’s the past. We can’t go in taking any team lightly,” Antulov said.

“In the last two years, they are one of the team’s we’ve had success against, but that doesn’t translate to this year.

THE NEXT-GEN CHEVROLET

“We have to go in and do the job.”

Despite the season only being two weeks old, already thoughts are turning to post-season qualification in Kamloops.

While the WolfPack won’t seal a playoff berth with wins this weekend, losses could see the post-season begin to fade on the horizon.

Already the Spartans and the UBC Thunderbirds have staked their claims at the top of the Pacific Division and the Cascades are off to a strong start. The UBC-Okanagan Heat currently occupy the fourth and final playoff spot, one point up on the WolfPack.

“I think the guys know what they need to do and this weekend is critical to keep ourselves in the playoff race,” Antulov said.

“They know two wins are key.”

Cameron Antifave could have sworn his leg was on fire.

Again.

Just days removed from a freak lawnmower accident that left him with deep seconddegree burns covering his left leg, Antifave was in the water at the 2016 Canadian Sprint Canoe Kayak Championships in Dartmouth, N.S. By then, his burns had been dressed, but the pain was still immense. As he paddled, Antifave said his leg felt much like it had when it was engulfed in flames.

He needed crutches on land — now, more than a week later, he’s still struggling to walk.

He needed help getting into his kayak.

But he knew he could paddle.

“The day before I left, I decided, you know what, I’m going to try. Disobeyed doctor’s orders and went to Nova Scotia,” Antifave told KTW from his home in Nanaimo.

“My two coaches . . . they say, ‘Never give up. Never give up.’ Even Mike, I knew I couldn’t let him down for the K2.

We’ve trained so long for the race. I can’t let him down three days before the competition.”

Mike Lanyon, Antifave’s partner in the K2 1,000m, hails from Kamloops. The duo paddle under the Kamloops Canoe and Kayak Club (KCKC) banner, alternating weekends training at nearby Shumway Lake and on Vancouver Island.

Five things to watch on Jays’ playoff push GREGORY STRONG

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The Blue Jays are hoping a return to Rogers Centre will help them bounce back after a threegame sweep in New York knocked Toronto out of first place in the American League East.

The division race is the tightest in Major League Baseball.

Toronto, Baltimore

and the Yankees are all within striking distance of the first-place Boston Red Sox and there are several divisional games to come down the stretch.

Here’s a look at five things to watch as the Blue Jays make their playoff push:

series with the Boston Red Sox this weekend.

Marco Estrada (8-7, 3.56 earned-run average) gets the nod in tonight’s opener. Lefthander J.A. Happ (17-4, 3.34) will start Saturday and Aaron Sanchez (13-2, 2.92) is on tap Sunday.

Toronto enters the series in second place in the East, one game behind the Red Sox. In the wild-card race, the Blue Jays and Orioles

currently hold the two spots but several teams are close behind.

MISSED OPPORTUNITIES

Toronto had trouble cashing in runners earlier this week in New York. Improvement will be needed this weekend against Boston, a team with arguably the best offence in the major leagues.

The Blue Jays cashed

in only six of 28 runners in scoring position during the three-game series in the Bronx.

Toronto was 0-for8 in a 2-0 loss on Wednesday night.

The Red Sox, meanwhile, led the majors in runs (764), hits (1,397), team batting average (.286), on-base percentage (.351), slugging percentage (.467) and OPS (.817) entering yesterday’s games.

SEPTEMBER SKED

With the exception of a seven-game West Coast road trip, Toronto will only play East division opponents the rest of the way.

After this weekend’s Boston series, the Tampa Bay Rays will close out the six-game homestand at Rogers Centre.

Following that, the Blue Jays will visit a pair of middling West Division teams in the Los Angeles Angels and Seattle Mariners before closing out the home schedule with four games against the Yankees and three games with the Orioles.

Then it’s off to Fenway Park on Sept.

30 for a three-game season-ending set with the Red Sox.

NUMBERS GAME

It took 93 wins for the Blue Jays to win the East last year and a number close to that will likely be needed to claim the division title this season.

Toronto enters today’s game against Boston with a 77-62 mark. To get to 93 victories, the Blue Jays would need to close out the campaign on a 16-7 run (a .696 winning percentage).

However, it’s possible that 90 wins could be enough since there are so many intradivision

matchups on the schedule. That would require a 13-10 (.565) record the rest of the way.

According to Fangraphs, the Blue Jays entered yesterday’s games with an 80.6 per cent chance of returning to the post-season, a 32.7 per cent chance of winning the East and a 47.9 per cent chance of claiming a wild-card spot.

SPOILED IN SEPTEMBER

The 2015 edition of the Blue Jays went on a second-half surge after then-GM Alex Anthopoulos made a series of deals before the trade deadline that gave the team a jolt.

Toronto had a 51-51 record in late July last year before going a remarkable 42-18 run en route to their first division title since 1993.

The core of the team’s offence returned this year while Happ and Sanchez have emerged as key starters in a rotation that former ace David Price anchored down the stretch.

Price’s off-season departure for Boston as a free agent stung many Toronto fans. He’ll likely be on the mound in that season-ending series between the Red Sox and Blue Jays in what should be as close to playoff baseball as the regular season can get.

Paddling through pain From A19

Their performance at the national championship certainly wasn’t hindered by Antifave’s injury. The pair finished sixth in the nation in the final of the under-17 K2 1,000m, just a second-and-ahalf back of the podium. Earlier in the event, they had finished second in their K2 1,000m heat.

“I thought it was going to be much worse,” Antifave said.

Neither paddler had been entirely confident they would even qualify for the final with Antifave’s injury.

“I was just hoping I didn’t mess Mike up by having the injured leg and it turns out I didn’t — we set a personal-best time [3:39.586] that race. So we were happy.”

The fact Antifave and Lanyon had success in Dartmouth is not to say the week was easy. Antifave participated in seven races in his five days in Nova Scotia, the pain, at times, so bad that he could have sworn flames were again licking at his skin. He said it was an inde-

scribable agony, especially in his K1 6,000m race.

But when he got into the boat with Lanyon, Antifave was able to push the pain aside. The first hundred metres of the K2 1000m were difficult but, after that, adrenaline kicked in.

“I think that was quite something that he was able to come out and race,” Lanyon told KTW. “I’m really impressed with him. He’s one of the toughest kids I know.

“It’s who he is. He’s used to fighting through adversity.”

Lanyon said the regatta showed the pair what they are capable of — if they were able to finish sixth in Canada under these circumstances, an injury-free future is certainly bright.

For Antifave, it was a championship that proved what he’s truly capable of.

“Definitely just keep going,” he said.

“Your mind tells you no, but your body, you can still do it. Never give up, I guess.”

CRIMES OF THE WEEK

MUG SHOTS

THIEVES TARGETING BICYCLES Over the last couple of weeks, thieves have been targeting expensive bikes throughout the City. These suspects have been touring through Hotel and Motel parking lots looking for bikes that have been left in the back of pick up trucks.

All the bikes had been locked but that does not seem to deter the thieves from taking the bikes.

If you are a Hotel or Motel owner it may be a very good idea to remind your guests that they should remove their bikes from their vehicles to prevent the thefts.

The suspects have been going through residential areas as well taking bikes, some of the bikes were locked but most were not.

If you have any information about who is taking the bikes or know the whereabouts of the bikes, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will receive a cash reward upon the arrest of the suspect.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2016

On Wednesday, August 31st at approximately 6:30 am a lone male was seen at the Silver Sage Campground stealing a BBQ. When a witness yelled at the male, the BBQ was dropped and the male rode away on his bicycle.

The witness feels this is the same male that has been in and out of the campground stealing items. The witness spotted the male again near the campground and took a picture

of him sitting on the side of the road with his bike. The witness does not know this person but described him as non white male, early 20’s, 5’8’’ tall, short black hair, wearing a dark sweat shirt and dark sweat pants with white stripes on them.

If you know who this male is please contact Crime Stoppers, you will never have to go to court or give a statement.

RURAL HOME BROKEN INTO This break and enter took place during the day of Tuesday, September 6th between 7:00 am and 3:45 pm on the 4000 block of Mount Lolo Rd. There are 3 homes on the property but only one home was broken into. The suspects not only broke into the home, they also stole a 14 foot

Starlite Tandem trailer and loaded all the items into it. Cash, alcohol and flashlights were taken from inside of the house. Outside, these thieves were just as busy taking an aluminum truck dry box, a cordless drill and a skill saw. Although this is a rural area, it is very possible that someone

may have notice a vehicle leaving this residence or the trailer being pulled down the road.

If you have any information on this theft, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will remain anonymous, only your information will be used, never your name.

FAITH

Man from Galilee’s safe, strong hands

T

he Bible frequently uses anthropomorphic images to describe God and His activities, while at the same time insisting on the transcendent spiritual, non-physical nature of God. One such passage in the Old Testament is found in Psalm 139:10: “Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.”

Hands have their stories to tell. They have always fascinated me.

Often I sense the heartthrob of people while shaking their hands.

Salesmen who study the matter of approaching people effectively say the person who offers you his hand with his own palm parallel to his body meets you as an equal, as a friend, a

NARYAN MITRA

You Gotta Have

FAITH

touch to which many usually respond.

Hands have played a large part in the writing of Scriptures because hands are simply thoughts in action.

Abraham stretched forth his hand and lifted a knife to slay his son Isaac.

Isaac, with his fading eyes, tried to distinguish his sons by the feel of their hands (Genesis 27).

A man with withered hands once came to Christ

and was cured.

The Son of Man is pictured as seated “on the right hand of power.”

After his resurrection, Jesus showed his hands to the disciples and they were glad.

The very crux of the gospel is that God, with His right hand, offers sinners grace, forgiveness and reconciliation.

It means we need not groan and struggle and fall beneath the weight of sin.

This is another way of saying we can surrender all to Christ and begin life now as a new creature in Him. A basic truth of the gospel is that God the Father heals the wounds left in the lives of people by way of scourge of sin.

God wants every person to accept the offer of His right hand, the friendly hand. But when we refuse that, with His left hand He

carries out the work of judgment.

It was Robert Louis Stevenson who put his finger on a basic moral truth when he said: “Sooner or later, we all sit down to the banquet of consequences.”

The ancient Scriptures have it that we reap what we sow.

It is true both in the agricultural realm as well as in the moral realm.

If we sow immorality, we will reap immorality. If purity, we will reap a harvest of holiness.

Here is one of God’s immutable laws and it cannot be changed.

If we refuse the offer of God’s right hand leading to grace, forgiveness, and reconciliation, we automatically take hold of God’s left hand with its consequence of penalty.

Whether God is a loving Father or an austere Judge is entire-

ly up to us to face up to.

There are two sides to God’s character, and the side we see or meet is determined by which hand of His we choose to deal with us.

It is easy to see the hands of God in history as they shaped nations for the first coming of Christ. His hands influenced the Greek, the Roman, and the Jewish histories.

The Greek contributed the spirit of inquiry and a universal language which immeasurably helped the early evangelists of Jesus.

The Romans brought the whole world under their insignia and thus the world was at peace when the first Christian preachers set out to tell the glad news over military roads built by them.

The Jews contributed an expectancy of a coming One, belief in

monotheism, religious literature, faith, and prayer.

It is not difficult to see the sovereign hands of God as they prepared the way and made crooked paths straight for the arrival of the Son of Man. The sovereign hands of God gave new meaning to that little sentence in the New Testament: “In the fullness of time God sent forth his Son into the world.”

It is only in God’s hands that we find guidance, security and peace.

Put your hands into the hand of “the Man from Galilee.”

That action shall be to us better than a flashlight and safer than a well-travelled path.

It’s with great sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Patrick Vincent Malbeuf on September 4, 2016. He was born February 23, 1947 in Cold Lake, Alberta. Pat was surrounded by family who reluctantly said goodbye to a man with a great heart, a trickster with a sense of humour, a man loyal to those he loved.

There will be a casual gathering at his brother Dan’s home, 2346 Young Avenue, Friday, September 9, 2016 4:00-6:00 pm followed by a short ceremony in MacArthur Park to scatter ashes in a spot he often visited. Those that knew and cared for him are welcome.

Chinese history in Kamloops

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

By Jessica Wallace, KTW When talking about Chinese history in Kamloops, Matt Macintosh said it is complicated.

However, there are things he’d like people to know, such as the huge impact the Chinese community had on bringing people together in Canada, completing some of the most dangerous work on the railway and the way they’ve shaped certain parts of the community in Kamloops.

Macintosh also noted Kamloops politician Peter Wing, who was the first mayor of Chinese descent in North America.

“I think that represents a kind of progressive politics [in Kamloops],” he said.

The Kamloops Chinese Freemason Association and the Kamloops Chinese Cultural Association permanently donated artefacts to the Kamloops Museum and Archives for its new exhibit Re: Recording Chinese Histories. The museum is at Seymour Street and Second Avenue.

Exhibit examines how cultural history is created JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

M

att Macintosh acknowledges the museum’s own shortcomings when it comes to portraying local cultural history.

The museum’s collection of documents, photographs and artefacts archiving Chinese history, for example, are based on what people were or weren’t willing to part with and could be impacted by factors such as fires or whether pieces were scooped up by other parties.

Then there’s the way those elements are organized if acquired and museum staff members who have

“

The thesis of the show is predicated on the idea that multiple perspectives make history more complete . . . . this is giving everyone a voice.

”

— MATT MACINTOSH, Kamloops Museum and Archives curator

been responsible for it all over the years, each bringing their own personal biases to the table while writing notes on cards about subjects filed and read through for years to come.

“While archives are intended to be impartial and factually accurate, all these sort of little biases, for lack of a better word, are revealed throughout,” Macintosh, Kamloops Museum and Archives cura-

tor, told KTW. It’s why a new exhibit that opens today aims to lend many voices to Chinese history in Kamloops and sheds light on how cultural history is produced, processed and preserved.

“The thesis of the show is predicated on the idea that multiple perspectives make history more complete and does less of a disservice to a specific cultural group when

other cultural groups aren’t speaking on their behalf,” Macintosh said. “This is giving everyone a voice.”

Re: Recording Chinese Histories is a collaboration with The Kamloops Chinese Freemason Association and the Kamloops Chinese Cultural Association.

“They were super kind and donated some new-to-us objects, including the renaming of the Cheng Interchange on the Canadian Pacific Railway line, some photos that we did not have of Peter Wing, including the certificate when North and South Kamloops amalgamated,” Macintosh said.

Museum archives, including business records,

correspondence between Chinese community members and documentation of particular events like marriages, funerals, parades and New Year’s celebrations, are juxtaposed.

Another voice in the exhibit is Missisauga artist Morris Lum, brought in to add artistic flare due to his experience documenting Chinatowns in Canada.

Large, bright photographs adorn the walls on the second floor of the Seymour Street building, where the temporary exhibit will be on display until Jan. 21.

Macintosh called Lum an up-and-coming artist he met working in Toronto and said the collabora-

tion first began about eight months ago, before Lum came to Kamloops to dig into the archives, meet with community members and photograph places like the Chinese Cemetery.

“He [Lum] excavated a lot of materials on Chinese history in town and pulled them out and put them together in arrangements that set up relationships between different community members, different parts of the archives and different stories,” Macintosh said.

An opening reception for the exhibit is tonight from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Lum will be on hand to speak at about 5:45 p.m. and Chinese food will be served.

Freudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ceiling, a new sculpture outside of the Tournament Capital Centre, was created by Campbell River artist Cameron Kerr.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Still here after 44 years The Bamboo Inn located in The Brock Shopping Centre has been a fixture in Brocklehurst and Kamloops for that matter since 1972.

The longest serving restaurant in Kamloops has been dishing some of the tastiest Chinese food to their customers and it's no fluke they've been around so long.

Cosmo Li, owner operator and his brother Wilson started their venture in the restaurant business with the idea that North Kamloops needed a Chinese eatery and it proved correct. Cosmo, a Psych nurse at the Tranquille Institution in 1972 and his brother Wilson, a chef from Hong Kong developed a take out only store front that quickly grew into a full service restaurant.

The current location at 1800 Tranquille road is the original location and as Cosmos says "We never mess with success".

Bamboo Inn is a 100 seat facility that can also host business, staff, or any function and they have a liquor license.

They also cater to large parties with any dietary requirements. Stop in or call and see what you may have been missing.

"After 44 years, our food and customer service is proof enough that we're doing something right" Cosmo says.

isitors to the Kamloops Art Gallery and downtown library will already be familiar with Cameron Kerrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work.

Kerrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memorial sculpture, created in memory of the 2003 wildfires, is a longtime fixture of the public plaza in front of the Victoria Street building.

Now, the Campbell River sculptor is getting a second permanent public showing in front

Artist behind local wildfire memorial donated piece of the Tournament Capital Centre.

Freudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ceiling, a marble sculpture weighing thousands of pounds, officially went on display last week.

First created for the City of Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 125th birthday, Freudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ceiling was inspired by a ceiling pattern found in the famous psychoanalystâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s London home â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itself a reference to a pattern produced by the brainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visual cortex

when half-asleep.

After temporary showings in downtown Vancouver and Queen Elizabeth Park, Kerr donated the piece to the Kamloops Art Gallery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wanted to make sure that it continued to be seen in the public and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go back to storage,â&#x20AC;? said Charo Neville, curator with the Kamloops gallery.

Kerr wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just familiar with the gal-

lery because of his work on the wildfire piece. He and Neville had worked with Kerr on the Vancouver exhibition, which included other large marble pieces, and she had also included him in another gallery show in 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a natural fit.

We would be the perfect institution for him to donate this work to,â&#x20AC;? she said.

While the piece is considered a part of the gallery’s permanent collection, it partners with the city to properly display the work, said Kamloops recreation, social development and culture manager Barb Berger.

Revenue Agency program that assesses the value of the art and gives Kerr a tax receipt

for its value — while the city covers shipping and installation costs for the art piece.

Berger said getting Freud’s Ceiling to its permanent Kamloops home cost about $5,000.

The city and gallery have collaborated on two other art pieces in the past. Peter Hyde’s After Rome, located on the corner of Victoria Street and Second Avenue, and Oblix, Joe Fafard’s bronze bull located in Riverside

Park, were both donations installed by the city.

“We really see value in the public accessing art in different ways,” said Neville, “while we have our exhibitions at the gallery, this is also part of our exhibition program.

“This is obviously a work we can’t store inside, and it’s meant to be seen outside.”

David Crosby to perform solo acoustic tour Tickets are on sale now for a concert with David Crosby at the Kelowna Community Theatre on Wednesday.

Ticket prices range from $65.50 to $80.50, plus service charges and other fees.

The stop is part of a solo acoustic tour Crosby is doing in September, one he says is all about the songs, “the tale telling. Taking you on a voyage to my world for a moment.”

Tickets are available by calling 1.250-7625050 or by email to selectyourtickets.com.

‘Story behind it is intriguing’ KTW asked for thoughts on the new artwork outside the Tournament Capital Centre. Here are some comments: “It takes a little getting used to. If you didn’t know it was a sculpture, you’d think it was a play thing.” — Diane Stuart “Some kid will hang himself in there. It’s too big for wine bottles. It’ll hold the bricks down.” — Glen Burrell “I like realistic things, it’s neat. I love the wildfire one, [statue] and the one at City Hall.

I’m not so much into the abstract. The story behind it is intriguing.” — Lesley Baron “I like a public work of art. Is it a piece of cheese? I’d like a fountain instead, but it’s nice.”— Pauline Braaksma

We’ve made changes to serve you better Starting this Sunday, Autoplan brokers throughout the province will begin using ICBC’s new insurance sales system. This is the single biggest renewal in ICBC’s history, replacing technology that’s more than 30 years old. The new system will help Autoplan brokers to better serve customers and will allow for easier implementation of products and services.

For customers, the way you purchase your Autoplan insurance will remain the same. However, as with any complex project of this size, it will take time for Autoplan brokers and ICBC staff to become comfortable with the new system. We want to let you know about this shift as some customers may experience delays during the transition. Over the next month we’re encouraging customers to visit their Autoplan broker a few days before their policy expires, and to allow for extra time in broker offices.

ICBC and Autoplan brokers have spent years working together to build and test this new system, including extensive training and a five week “soft launch” that started August 7th. After more than 100,000 successful transactions, we’re now ready for a full launch.

For more than 40 years ICBC and the Autoplan brokers of British Columbia have been partnering to provide customers with consistently high levels of service and support. Thank you in advance for your patience as we complete this upgrade to enable us to continue that commitment to you.

ibre art has gained popularity recently as artists are more empowered to explore, expand and combine different mediums to create one-of-a-kind beautiful pieces of artwork.

These amazing art objects often take a lifetime of accumulated experience and knowledge to create.

Kamloops artist Lynn Underwood has done just that. Through years of hard work and trial and error, she has combined several different techniques and mediums, creating vibrant fibre art like no other.

The event is at the Blue Grotto on Sept. 22 and was created by Kara-Sheen Inferno of Infernol Art Productions, inspired by her family’s experiences with cancer, which includes her mother surviving it four times.

“We want a portion of the funds raised to stay in the community because I know firsthand how important community is for cancer patients and their families,” Inferno said.

“When my mother was diagnosed with cancer for the first time, she had a newborn, a toddler and a four-yearold. When she beat cancer for the fourth time, she had three adult children.

“From the beginning of her battle to remission, the people of our community helped out any way they could, from casseroles, to cleaning, to child care.

It really did take a village to raise my brothers and me.”

Tickets for the 19-plus event are $35 and available at the venue or online at thebluegrotto.ca.

he first thing you have to understand about this city is that it is more than just another place to visit.

New York is a world unto itself, where the real and the illusory combine in one place and where you have to diminish its size before you can successfully navigate its charms.

Paris, Tokyo, and London come to mind as similar destinations.

Like New York, they are more than mere cities. You will find anything from any other part of the world within their boundaries. And you can spend

a lifetime at any of these places without ever having discovered all of what’s there.

You don’t see New York, you experience it bit by bit. If you try to devour it at a single sitting, you end up with metropolitan indigestion.

Break the city into parts and you will find it manageable. Go to a Yankees game and The Bronx becomes a village in which to explore.

Attend the US Open tennis tournament in Flushing in August/ September and the borough of Queens becomes your objective.

And when you visit the Metropolitan Museum, you enter the world of Central Park and the Upper East Side.

Visiting Mulberry Street in Little Italy is like taking a trip to another country without having to pay for a plane ticket and Harlem, at the north end of the Island, is the home of the famous Apollo Theatre.

It is also where former President Bill Clinton keeps his presidential office on 125th Street.

Visitors to Greenwich Village usually expect to find the 1960s still in full bloom.

Sorry about that but, while this small area below 14th Street and west of Broadway has been a mecca for the creative, rebellious and Bohemian for more than 100 years, starving artists can’t afford to live there any longer.

However, you can still plan a day around the history of the place, its shopping, and its fine restaurants.

One of New York City’s great assets is its easy access by foot and subway.

It is mostly laid out like a grid — uptown/ downtown streets intersect with crosstown streets, making it

easy to navigate even for the first-time visitor.

If you choose your hotel or rented apartment wisely, it will make your time there memorable.

Pick a location far from your main interests or your ability to tolerate noise, and it will be a long slog.

Even though New York offers some of the best public transportation in the world, you don’t want to waste too much time just getting back and forth to where you want to visit.

If you want to be in the middle of the action, find a hotel in the heart of the midtown area.

with all of your senses coming into play for every minute you’re there. It’s also the noisiest part of town.

Want tranquility?

Rent an apartment for a week or more in the Upper East Side, just off Central Park.

There, you’ll find yourself in one of Manhattan’s finest neighborhoods, where restaurants are plentiful along Second Avenue and where you can window-shop to your heart’s content.

It is a convenient location for exploring Central Park and the exhibits on Museum Mile.

Madison Avenue is home to couture and designer shops and even if you can’t afford to buy anything, the window shopping is extraordinary.

A live-theater ticket is $100 for the latest plays on Broadway.

But, there’s also plenty of theater in smaller off-Broadway venues at a third that cost.

Of course, New York is a shopper’s paradise.

In SoHo, cuttingedge designers show their wares.

And, of course, there’s Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s and Sak’s Fifth Avenue to fill your bags.

Savour the Journey on Holland America Line

State-of-the-art cruise ship makes its North-American debut this fall

F

or more than 140 years, Holland America Line has taken its guests to the most magnificent destinations around the world.

First setting sail in 1873, Holland America Line maintains a traditional style of cruising aboard each of its elegantly appointed ships.

Holland America Line offers a five-star experience, carefree voyages, and superb surroundings to enhance every moment.

With Holland America, guests experience timeless cruising that has been refined for a new generation seeking sophistication and elegance.

Easily fall into the rhythm of enjoying relaxing and inspiring days with a wealth of

cruise activities and enrichment programs.

Putting the aah in Spa

One of my favorite experiences on board Holland America was spending my mornings in the Greenhouse Spa. In particular, I enjoyed the heated ceramic loungers, which were reminiscent of an opulent Turkish bath.

The Greenhouse Retreat is the relaxation center of the spa that has different grottos and chambers that release a variety of dry heat, steam and mists into the air with aromatherapyfilled vapors.

Also enjoy therapeutic water treatments as you steam in a thermal suite or bathe in herbs, all the while cruising to exotic destinations and enjoying the indulgences that are a signa-

ture feature of the luxurious Holland America Line cruises.

This was the best way to refresh, relax and rejuvenate in one of the finest spas of the seas.

For me, the retreat was the perfect prelude of each memorable day at sea.

Lean back and enjoy the journey

After a relaxing session in the spa, I would enjoy the gentle breeze on the pool deck.

Later, I joined a few classes to learn how to edit digital photos, to arrange flowers and attended a wine tasting session.

Holland America will surprise and delight with exquisite dishes and cultural delicacies created by some of the most influential chefs in the world. In the evening, I let the music lure

me to The Showroom at Sea where I danced to live blues and jazz, listened to dueling pianos and took in the chamber ensemble at Lincoln Center Stage.

At night, I tucked into total comfort in my stateroom with the promise of coffee on my private verandah, where I watched new worlds take shape on the horizon.

Lean forward and make the most of every destination

Choose from hundreds of carefully crafted itineraries to more than 400 ports of call and jump-start an ideal immersion with the help of destination guides in partnership with AFAR. Together with travel experts, guest speakers and a host of enriching activities, I have enjoyed carefully curated, highly personalized introductions to the most fascinating places, people and cultures on Earth.

MS Koningsdam, their first Pinnacle-class ship.

Brilliant hospitality designer Adam D. Tihany and legendary ship architect Bjørn Storbraaten have teamed up to explore new ways to blend Holland America’s rich heritage with forwardthinking designs.

Their touchstones: light-filled spaces, visual drama and beautiful interiors inspired by the fluid curves of musical instruments.

Entertainment has always been the heart and soul of evenings aboard Holland America Line and on MS Koningsdam that promise continues with Music Walk, three stages presenting a variety of live music nightly: Lincoln Center Stage, B.B. King’s Blues Club/ Queen’s Lounge and Billboard Onboard.

Expanding on entertainment, MS Koningsdam debuts the World Stage, an extraordinary theater at sea, featuring a two-story, 270-degree high-definition LED screen that immerses audiences in an ever-changing backdrop of sight and sound.

sk Bruce Dunn what highlights occurred during his years with the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra and he hesitates.

When he answers, it’s not pointing to a Beethoven or Elgar concert. It’s not the annual Magic of Vienna performance or the Christmas season musical celebration.

Instead, the longtime music director said what he has found most satisfying in his 27 years is watching it go from what was largely a community orchestra to a professional orchestra filled with musicians “who can play anything.

“We can do anything.” he said, “And I’m proud of that.”

He’s equally proud

The Kamloops Symphony Orchestra is marking four decades of making music this season — and it’s doing it in style.

Strauss will be featured as the orchestra takes over The Rex for an anniversary ball, an event that will look back at the past but also forward to what will come as it chooses — from four candidates — a of more recent performances, pointing out the Mozart festivals last year in particular.

“Mozart is hard,” Dunn said.

“It can be a struggle but it wasn’t” as the KSO performed three Mozart works in April in Kamloops and Salmon Arm and another four here in May. Even in his early years, Dunn said, the orchestra had “very,

very fine performances.

We were playing things we shouldn’t have been able to do — but we did.”

Pressed, Dunn — who announced his retirement last year and will share conducting responsibilities with four candidates to succeed him — acknowledged he always enjoyed it when the orchestra had Finnish composer Jean Sibelius

on its program.

“Everyone knows I love Sibelius,” he said, and the KSO would do a show featuring him every two or three years.

Dunn didn’t set out to spend almost three decades with the KSO. A working musician and teacher in Vancouver, he learned of the opening through friends and applied.

“Absolutely not,” he said of what became

a long tenure. “I think it was more of an ‘Oh man, I got a conducting job. Woo-hee’. It could have been a stepping stone to something bigger for someone younger but I was 45 years old.”

At first, the KSO eschewed performing

the same works in subsequent years — except for Christmas shows — but through the years, the orchestra has occasionally gone back to works they knew their audiences love.

“The expectations we have are from the audience’s point of

view,” Dunn said. “As the cost of tickets has gone up, the audience has started expecting a certain level of performance and that’s how the KSO has evolved to what it is today.

“We’re not big, but we are a high-level classical orchestra.”

S

ome sisterly competition — as well as some influence from a big brother — led to the musical instrument choices for Anita and Elizabeth Eccleston.

The Kamloops Symphony Orchestra also played a big role in what became lifechanging decisions.

Let’s start with the role Tom Eccleston played. A member of the Westsyde secondary band, he played trumpet “and I thought it was really cool,” Anita said.

She started lessons with KSO conductor Bruce Dunn, leaving Elizabeth still debating what choice she would make.

“Anita had already picked the trumpet

ABOVE: Liam Doyle (left), brother Rory, Christina Howie, Anita Eccleston and sister Elizabeth were members of the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra’s Junior Wind Ensemble back in 1997. RIGHT: Anita Eccleston at Riverside Park and Elizabeth.

and I thought ‘Oh man, she’s already ahead of me,” Elizabeth said from her home in Toronto.

Tom took her to a KSO concert and afterward, suggested to Elizabeth she take up the oboe and sign up for lessons with KSO oboeist

Shauna Martin.

The musical paths were set, ones that led both to become professional musicians and for Elizabeth to recently complete PhD studies in music.

Neither were formally taught at the KSO Music School, although Elizabeth

taught there for a year between her undergraduate and postgraduate studies.

Many of the orchestra members had students, she said, a fact that led to the creation of the KSO’s Junior Wind Ensemble that also included Liam and Rory Doyle

— whose weekly lessons were right before hers — and Christina Howie.

While they also were in the band at school and benefitted from the instruction of longtime teacher and musician Syd Griffith, the sisters said their KSO teachers fuelled their interest in music.

“I teach private lessons,” Anita said, “And, when I started, I realized I was regurgitating all the things Bruce had taught me.”

While making music is the key, Anita said the classes “are

more than just music lessons.

They’re life lessons” that helped her gain the confidence to perform, to face disappointment and to work hard to be skilled and reliable.

Another longtime KSO musician also had a role in the sisters’ musical lives.

David Mardon encouraged both of them; for Elizabeth, his role was key when, about three months into lessons, she was thinking of quitting.

While debating her music future, Mardon invited her to join a

youth orchestra “and this was before I had even done band. I was in Grade 7,” Elizabeth said. “I credit him for not quitting.”

At the age of 15, she performed with the KSO “sitting next to my teacher.”

These days, the twins continue to make music. Elizabeth is freelancing, performing with various orchestras in Ontario while Anita has made Vancouver her base, where she frequently finds herself on stage or recording.

She will release a new jazz album soon.

John Corbishley recalls his wife pushing him to help with the book sale.

When the couple moved to Kamloops in 1990, Barb Corbishley joined the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra’s board and John gave time to Western Canada Theatre.

“My wife was a bully and made sure that I was around and helping,” John said with a laugh.

Barb started the fundraiser small but it has since grown into the largest for the symphony, raising about $40,000 a year.

Held each spring and fall, the event has become a local institution to search for treasures at a bargain in Sahali Mall.

It has also become a legacy for Barb.

When she died in 2005,

the symphony honoured her by adding her name to the event and John knows his wife still plays her role in Barb’s Used Book and Music Sale.

“She wags a finger at me still and says ‘Keep going,’” he said.

John and a group of volunteers put in about six weeks of work throughout the year — collecting, storing, categorizing and selling used books, sheet music and more.

They also get calls throughout the year with questions like: “When’s the sale, I’ve got some books I want to get rid of. I’m downsizing, I need to get rid of [books], whatever the reason,” John said.

“It’s become an institution now and it’s looked forward to.”

From helping with the sale to billeting musicians and facilitating school programs, volunteers play a

significant role in the symphony.

A 12-member board of directors meets monthly on policy matters.

Board president Carol Howie got involved when her daughter was taking music lessons.

Approached by the former president of the symphony society, Howie agreed to join the board.

“I have been on the board ever since,” she said.

It has been about 20 years and Howie said contributing in the community is important economically and socially.

It’s why the retired English teacher is also a member of the Royal Inland Hospital Evening Auxiliary and volunteers for the Kamloops Immigrant Society, putting her skills to use tutoring new Canadians.

Beyond that, she has seasons tickets to the symphony.

“I think we have one of

the best small orchestras and I just love to hear them play,” Howie said.

She’s proud of work done to transition KSO into a professional model, upping the quality she noted.

“It’s happened over the last 10 years. It’s been a slow transition,” she said.

“It’s something our board and Bruce Dunn, the director, were very passionate about.”

She doesn’t anticipate any end in sight to volunteering with KSO. Looking forward, she’s hoping a recently added marketing position will allow the symphony to have a bigger impact in the community.

“A lot of people don’t recognize that we really do have a world-class symphony.”

KSO regularly accepts new volunteers. For an application form or a list of current opportunities, go online to kamloopssymphony.com/ volunteer.htm.

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!
