Local businessman Mike Grenier announces his four-point plan to improve Kamloops Airport if his bid for the B.C. Liberal nomination in the riding of Kamloops-North Thompson is successful. Grenier was at the airport yesterday to announce he will be challenging Peter Milobar and Steven Puhallo for the nomination.

The new entrant in the race to replace incumbent Terry Lake as the B.C. Liberal nominee in KamloopsNorth Thompson said he is bringing new ideas to an otherwise quiet nomination race.

Mike Grenier, one-time developer at Tobiano, met with reporters yesterday morning at Kamloops Airport.

Flanked by his family, Grenier officially announced he has filed paperwork with the party and will contest the nomination, along with Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar and North Shore Business Improvement Association executive director Steven Puhallo.

“I don’t mind at all leading by example and coming up with fresh new ideas,” Grenier said.

Grenier moved to the region from Toronto in 1996, when a company controlled by his family purchased what was then Six Mile Ranch. He spent the next four years campaigning to remove the land from the Agricultural Land Reserve, eventually having it declared in the provincial interest by the then-NDP government.

No nomination date set as candidate vetting continues Page A15 That led to Tobiano, which includes a golf course and residential development. It went into receivership in 2011.

Grenier is no longer associated with its business operation. He lives in a condominium at Tobiano and has property at Sun Peaks.

Grenier raised a family in the Kamloops area and is now remarried with stepchildren. He is pitching his nomination as a chance to bring new ideas for job creation, what he said parallels his creation of Tobiano resort 15 years ago.

He outlined four ideas for job creation at Kamloops Airport, including Thompson Rivers University expanding into aircraft maintenance and engineering; a national commercial pilot training school; and having the airport declared a free trade zone and a “cabotage” designation.

Under cabotage, foreign airlines can be granted rights to fly between certain national routes. There is no aviation cabotage in Canada, but Grenier said a federal Conservative party principle

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. The only program of its kind in Canada, this innovative program allows students to do the majority of their coursework as well as their clinical placements and practicum in their local communities.

supports a pilot program in Canada.

Grenier said this would also encourage direct flights from Kamloops to Las Vegas or Miami, for example.

“We can have direct flights out of Kelowna [to foreign destinations], but we can’t seem to get that out of Kamloops,” Grenier said.

A free-trade designation for the airport would allow foreign goods to be brought to Kamloops for further manufacturing and shipped out without incurring duties.

Grenier also promoted a hotel for Kamloops Airport. He said he will be releasing more ideas for economic development during the nomination race.

“It’s important the nominee for Kamloops-North Thompson not only implement B.C. Liberal policy . . . but we need our nominee to implement great, fresh, new ideas,” he said.

The party has not yet set a nomination date. Grenier said his campaign will rely in part on appealing to existing party members.

On Sept. 1, Lake, the KamloopsNorth Thompson MLA and health minister, announced he will not be seeking a third term.

The provincial election is set for May 9, 2017.

DIPLOMA PROGRAM

• Wages range from $30.70 - $40.42 / hour • Recognized by the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of BC (CRPNBC) • Articulation agreement with Thompson Rivers University (TRU-OL) allows our graduates to complete a Bachelor of Health Sciences degree You may be eligible for government student loans, grants, bursaries & loan forgiveness.

While the B.C. Liberals entertain a three-way race for the Kamloops-North Thompson nomination, other parties are locking in their candidates.

The NDP will acclaim Barb Nederpel as the riding’s candidate tomorrow at 4 p.m. at the North Kamloops Holiday Inn, 675 Tranquille Rd. Dan Hines is the Green candidate, while Peter Kerek will represent the Communist Party of B.C. In the KamloopsSouth Thompson riding, Transportation Minister Todd Stone will seek re-election as the B.C. Liberal candidate.

Beat Klossner is running for the B.C. Communist Party, while Donovan Cavers is the Green candidate.

Nancy Bepple is seeking the NDP nomination.

The B.C. Conservatives will elect a new leader in Prince George tomorrow, with Dan Brooks, Jay Cross and Konrad Pimiskern in the race.

Brooks resigned as leader in January, prompting a leadership race, then decided to again seek the position.

The Conservatives have no nominees announced for either Kamloops riding.

INJURED AND OVERWHELMED? If you’ve been injured in an accident, it’s common to feel overwhelmed due to the many decisions that need to be made.

Never assume that your insurance provider will assist you in your time of need because, unfortunately, most providers tend to present more barriers than solutions, adding to the stress of your situation.

OUT FOR A BITE

A fly fisher waits for a strike near the reeds on the north end of Roche Lake on Tuesday evening. Roche Lake is off Highway 5A, between Kamloops and Merritt. The weather during the past week has been perfect for anglers.

WHO WILL HELP YOU MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS?

Hospital tower cost rising The timeline has been extended and the cost has increased substantially, but Interior Health is determined to see a patient-care tower rise at Royal Inland Hospital.

However, the projected cost is now an estimated $500 million — it was pegged at $400 million

by Health Minister Terry Lake in February — and the Thompson Regional Hospital District (TRHD) will be asked today to contribute another $172 million.

If it agrees to do so, it means an increase in property taxes by $20 for an average residential property in the regional district, including the City of Kamloops.

Five years ago, the TRHD board committed $100 million for the recently completed clinical services building and the tower. That meant the tax paid

by the average assessed residence doubled to $127.

A report by TRHD administration will be discussed at the board meeting at RIH this morning. The report recommends agreeing to the extra contribution and boosting the tax rate.

Originally, the second tower was referred to as a surgical tower, but the concept has changed to one that provides several patient services, including 30 beds for each of a medical/surgery inpatient unit and two mental-health focused units.

It would also include 13 operating rooms, a neonatal intensive-care unit, a labour and delivery room, offices and additional clinical space.

The concept being considered is a nine-storey building

built over a two-storey belowgrade parkade, with a gross floor area of about 27,000 square metres.

The first level would have central registration, office space for the RIH Foundation and retail space.

Along with the new tower would come renovation of the main RIH building, including an extensive upgrade and expansion of the emergency department.

A helipad might also be added to the roof of the new tower.

Earlier this year, Lake said he had hoped construction would begin next year and be completed by 2020. The letter from IHA to the TRHD board now says the hope is to complete the construction by 2024.

Teichrieb returns to court on Oct. 13 CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man facing a charge of attempted murder after allegedly beating a teen with a baseball bat had his arraignment delayed yesterday.

Kristopher Teichrieb made a brief court appearance by video from Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre, where he has been in custody since his arrest in the early-morning hours of June 19.

Teichrieb, who was denied bail in July, has fired his lawyer and hired new counsel, Vancouverbased Eric Gottardi. Teichrieb had been scheduled to enter a plea on Thursday, but Gottardi had the arraignment pushed back a month.

Teichrieb is accused of assaulting 19-year-old Jessie Simpson, who has been on life support since the incident.

Simpson’s friends and family have said he was celebrating high school graduation with classmates on the night of June 18 and may have been trying to find a group of friends when he was beaten.

It’s not clear whether Simpson entered onto Teichrieb’s Brocklehurst property prior to the attack. Police initially said Teichrieb had confronted someone in the driveway of his Clifford Avenue home, but the alleged altercation is believed to have taken place nearby in the area of Clifford Avenue and Holt Street.

Teichrieb is due back in court on Oct. 13.

those fields,” the principal of Beattie elementary says.

A trip through the school on McGill Road brings similar comments about the building that now houses the staff and students who used to attend Stuart Wood elementary downtown.

“The gym, it’s three times bigger than the one we had,” Lloyd says of the undersized space that served the same purpose in the nowempty heritage building on St. Paul Street.

“And wait ‘till you see the readingresource room. We had something about the size of a closet,” Lloyd adds as he leads the way to the room.

It was formerly used as a classroom when Beattie housed the elementary campus of the

city’s fine-arts school.

The library is twice the size of the one in the heritage building and the school has added to its computer supplies a complete classroom set of Chromebooks.

There’s a larger computer lab with about three-dozen desktop computers for students.

A former classroom is now used for a variety of purposes — meetings and art projects that require more space.

More space is the operative phrase when referring to almost everything at the school — and everyone, from student to teacher to parent, is delighted with the move.

Teacher Kelly Charron says she’s a bit nostalgic for the old school’s charm, but

notes she is enjoying her space.

She’s added plenty of personal touches, including fairy lights around the top of the classroom that can change colours, going from a calming ambience to holiday flair.

Charron says the students have settled in well — “They’re absolutely loving it” — something that was echoed by other students as KTW asked what they thought of their new school.

There were plenty of thumbs up, nods and big smiles.

Even bussing, something that became an issue during the community campaign to keep Stuart Wood open, hasn’t materialized as a concern, Lloyd says.

The school district has supplied three

buses that pick up students at Lloyd George elementary, Prince Charles Park and the former Stuart Wood elementary.

Students who live in the Guerin Creek area who used to walk to school continue to do so.

“They just turn right instead of left,” Lloyd says.

Beattie is one of the schools with more students than expected and it’s now considered to be full with 221 students. The projection was for 195. The influx meant adding a second kindergarten class and hiring a teacher, who started this week.

The Kamloops Boys and Girls Club has a presence at the school, providing after-school care options in a portable.

embracing all their space The parking lot is twice the size of the one at Stuart Wood.

The dance studio — now officially the music room — is large enough for two elementary classes to use for reading without disturbing each other.

Lloyd continues to list the other options the school now has.

“We couldn’t host games or do track and field,” he says of the dearth of space at Stuart Wood.

“Now, we have a full playground with two full fields. We had half a field before. This playground is three times the size of Stuart Wood.”

In fact, one young student told Lloyd it felt like a school bus was needed to get from the far side of the playground to the school building.

“And the view. We’ve got the

best view in the school district,” Lloyd says. “Well, maybe Savona’s is better, but we’ve got the best one in the city.”

There’s more than pride of building happening, however.

Lloyd notes that on the school district’s economic-development index, the one that identifies schools at risk, his school was ranked third.

“But we continue to surprise everyone. We’re meeting or exceeding in all areas looked at,” he says.

The drummer icon that once graced the exterior of the school — a relic of the building’s days as a fine-arts school — has been covered.

There are plans to develop Beattie’s own identity, Lloyd says, noting the school chose the Heat nickname back in 2004

and Stuart Wood used the Stars monicker.

A contest is planned that will involve students and parents as they work to come up with their identity.

Lloyd praises the school board for the work it did to make the transition smooth.

As for the future of Stuart Wood, that remains up in the air.

The city, which owns the property, will meet with the provincial government later this month to discuss what to do with the building.

Technically, the province will retain ownership if the structure is not used for educational purposes and the city has been unsuccessful in finding tenants because the cost to have the building meet current building codes exceeds $4 million.

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

HOT: The province’s economy, which yesterday revealed stronger than forecast revenues in the fiscal first quarter.

The good news prompted the B.C. Liberals to announce the planned increase to MSP premiums next year will be scrapped.

Cancelled is the previously announced four per cent increase to MSP premiums, while those eligible for regular premium assistance will see a four-per-cent reduction of their premium beyond what was announced in this year’s budget.

That the announcement comes as an election looms is not lost on us, but it is good news for every taxpayer every time a hike in fees is cancelled.

OUR

NOT: The debt in Canada’s households.

Statistics Canada reported yesterday the ratio of debt to disposable income has spiked to 167.6 per cent, which is a record ratio.

In other words, households hold $1.68 in non-mortgage debt for every dollar of disposable income.

Those numbers are eerily similar to what was happening in behind the front doors of American homes just before the Great Recession of 2008, when many residents south of the border lost their houses.

VIEW

HOT: Student numbers in the Kamloops-Thompson school district.

Initial estimates were a bit too conservative as roll call has thus far counted several-hundred extra students, including 115 more in kindergarten than originally calculated.

Final numbers are set on Sept. 30, but it is clear this city is growing, with more residents bringing more school-aged children.

Creepers need to go to cops

T

hey are creeping all over the Internet.

Creep Catchers, Creep Hunters and various other vigilante groups use chat rooms and websites to pose as minors to meet would-be-pedophiles.

Once a connection is made, the vigilantes then use text conversations (which always feature disturbing sexual references) to trap the predators, ensuring their professed age (under 16) is often repeated.

The gotcha! modus operandi is a carbon copy of To Catch a Predator, the NBC series that ran from 2004 to 2007 and featured undercover sting operations in which men were detained after arriving to what they thought was a sexual encounter with a minor.

The operation has grown in popularity following two notable incidents that resulted in criminal charges against law-enforcement members — a Mountie in Surrey and a deputy sheriff in Kamloops.

Based on the posted videos relating to those two stings, it certainly appears as though the men were indeed knowingly trying to hook up with kids under the age of sexual consent.

But the vast majority of these online stings have not and will not result in criminal charges.

Police say that is simply because the vigilante groups have not or will not hand over their entire inventory of evidence — the videos, the chat logs and the online trail leading to the inperson confrontation.

The problem with these stings is that the sole aim seems to be shaming the person targeted, with the now-familiar footage

MUSINGS of the vigilantes meeting the alleged perpetrator in a public place.

Usually, the target will flee, with the vigilantes running after him, shaky video footage ensuring the dramatic effect that leads to the sting going viral online.

But the shaming seems to have little to do with bringing alleged child predators to justice and the method can create unintended victims — the families of the men being stung.

With the video being viewed and shared online by tens of thousands of people, consider the wives and children of the men being exposed by means other than the legal system.

A newly formed Kamloops vigilante group has posted at least four of these sting videos, one of which features a man being met in Riverside Park.

He may well have been trying to arrange sex with a person under 16, but he says on camera he has three children.

Do the vigilantes not consider the effect this gotcha! video will have on the man’s kids at school and in the community?

It is far different from a police

sting of the same nature — and, yes, police are engaged in this same activity constantly through the ICE (Integrated Child Exploitation) unit.

When a child predator is caught in a legitimate police sting, there is a process that is painstakingly precise. Time is taken to ensure recommended charges are approved by Crown.

Videos and chat logs are not scattered into the Internet wind, as doing so would torpedo a prosecution.

The accused would be afforded his day in court and the ensuing case would unfold methodically, with the alleged pedophile and/or his lawyer given the opportunity to state their case.

The effect on the innocent members of the accused family, while significant, would not be nearly as devastating as it is when the only public record is a vigilante online posting that exists purely to shame and shock.

Then there are other problems that have arisen, including posting the wrong name associated with the Mountie sting and targeting a mentally challenged person in Kelowna.

If the goal of these vigilantes is to identify child predators and prevent them from abusing minors, they could very well continue doing what they are doing.

However, rather than post the salacious videos and chat logs in a bid to generate hits online, they could hand everything over to the police and let the professionals do the job they are trained and paid to do. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

NO VOTE NEEDED FOR ELECTORAL CHANGES Editor: Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative Electoral District Association president Scott Tupper’s letter of Sept. 13 (‘Government, democracy stable 150 years’) asks: “Why would any government allow special-interest groups to have undue influence over the way we elect our leader?”

The question indicates Tupper has not done his homework on the history of Canada’s electoral systems.

At one time, only men who were landowners and/or had a sufficiently high income were allowed to vote.

At one time, only people who were British by birth or naturalization were allowed to vote.

At one time, certain government employees and all judges were not allowed to vote.

Over time, modifications were made,

allowing women, immigrants and poor people to vote.

In 1919, all women were granted the vote.

The age of voting was reduced in 1970 to 18 from 21. In 1960, First Nations people were allowed to vote.

In all these cases, the government made the changes without a free vote of the population.

Then, as now, there were howls of protest from a majority of the population who, given a free vote, would have denied those changes.

Surely Tupper isn’t suggesting those changes were mistakes.

We have a voting system in which fully 50 per cent of the votes cast are wasted and count for nothing.

Tupper is surely aware a free vote (referendum) will maintain the status quo because most voters are too preoccupied with putting

bread on their table and will opt for what they know.

He must also surely know the cost of a referendum will conservatively be $300 million.

It strikes me as odd that the Conservative Party of Canada is suggesting our elected leaders are less capable of studying and implementing vital changes to our electoral system than ordinary Canadians.

That did not seem to be the case when they were in power and made their own changes.

That they would be willing to see hundreds of millions of dollars wasted to maintain an unequal and unfair system also strikes a discordant note for a party that prides itself on its fiscal accountability.

DEMOCRACY CAN BE IMPROVED BY HOW WE VOTE Editor: Re: Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo Conservative Electoral District Association president Scott Tupper’s letter of Sept. 13 (‘Government, democracy stable 150 years’): Low turnout, wasted votes and skewed outcomes.

Readers know Conservatives are against electoral change.

For 150 years, first-past-thepost has been the easiest way to

achieve power.

We elect a direct representative and emphasize the capability of our MP to make the best decision.

Now, on electoral reform, MPs are unable to make the best decision and the issue is so important that voters need a referendum.

Conservatives want to keep first-past-the-post, but on electoral reform, they don’t trust the

process they advocate.

There are electoral systems that can be better for our country, citizens and voters.

Democracy is about the interests of the country, citizens and voters, not about the interests of a political party to the exclusion of all others.

Town hall discussions are for learning about different systems to improve democracy, not to usurp government.

In the mid-1980s, I lived in Vancouver and voted for Pat Carney in a federal election.

If I recall correctly, that was the only time I voted for a winner.

What a great legacy for firstpast-the-post — once in one’s life can one vote for a winner.

I want a better system.

LOCAL NEWS Group to report on electoral system

A group promoting electoral reform will send a submission to a special parliamentary committee that will recommend some kind of proportional representation.

Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo Election Reform

Committee held a meeting Monday to gather input to provide a report to the committee of MPs touring the country. It will hold one more meeting before making a final recommendation.

Organizer Murray Todd

said three committee members will draft a report based on feedback. It will circulate to other people involved before making a final report.

It will include a recommendation for a new way to vote for federal politicians.

City of Kamloops

Todd said a strong desire for change from the current first past the post system came out of the meeting attended by about 100 people. Todd said those present also said they don’t want to expand the number of fed-

eral MPs. The report must go to the Special Committee on Electoral Reform by the Oct. 1 deadline.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledged before last year’s election a new way of voting in time for 2019.

Pool demolition to wrap up roof replacement and other repairs.

Work began in August and will wrap up by the end of January 2017.

Crundwell said D&T did find mould in the roof, which was rotting from the inside out after moisture from the pool tank penetrated the ceiling’s vapour barrier.

But that discovery was expected and won’t alter construction plans, since that section of the pool structure will be all-new once the repairs are complete.

A $3.1-million repair project at Westsyde Pool is thus far on track.

“In my opinion, we’re halfway through some of the riskiest work, where there could be surprises that cost us money,” said the city’s capitalprojects manager, Darren Crundwell.

Contractor D&T developments is expected to wrap up the demolition phase of the project by the end of the month, in preparation for a total

“It’s going to look more like Walmart inside — it’ll be an open steel joist . . . and we’re essentially rebuilding the outer shell of the pool as well.”

Crundwell said the ceiling beams of the pool may find new life for some other city project.

SD73 operating budget down DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Although the warning prompted one trustee to criticize how education is funded, the Kamloops Thompson school board treasurer isn’t concerned the district’s operating fund is in jeopardy.

Mario Piroddi of accounting firm BDO Canada presented the draft audited statement to the board this week.

He highlighted its operating fund, which has gone from $7.25 million to $5.1 million as the board has dipped into it to keep its budget balanced, as it is legislated to do. Piroddi suggested the possibility the fund would only last another 2.5

years, which prompted trustee Joan Cowden to point out the board’s frustration in providing education when funding is unstable.

School District 73 treasurer Kelvin Stretch, however, isn’t concerned. Historically, the board has not had to rely on the fund as much as it did in the last school year, when the Ministry of Education did not release money it traditionally holds back to provide to districts during the school year.

Instead, the money was allocated to be used this school year as the government deals with new students who registered last year and who were not anticipated in the ministry’s education budget last year.

RUNNING FOR RESEARCH

Terry Fox Run returns to Riverside on Sunday He died more than 35 years ago, but the legacy of Terry Fox is forever woven into the fabric of the country.

An annual run in his honour returns on Sunday to more than 9,000 communities across Canada in honour of the man who embarked on a journey, running on one leg across the country to raise money and awareness for cancer research.

The Terry Fox Run is a non-competitive event raising money for the Canadian Cancer Society.

In Kamloops, the event kicks off at the Rotary Bandshell in Riverside Park.

Registration is at 9 a.m. and the run starts at 10 a.m. It wraps up at

TERRY FOX: Ran across Canada raising money for cancer research.

12:30 p.m.

While no dogs or rollerblades are allowed, participants can choose to walk, run or bike the 3.5-kilometre route, which can be completed up to three

times.

Wheelchairs and strollers are also encouraged. No entry fee or minimum pledge is required.

Fox was diagnosed with bone cancer at age 18, forced to have his right leg amputated above the knee.

He ran more than 40 kilometres a day during the Marathon of Hope, covering 5,373 kilometres in 143 days before he was forced to stop running outside Thunder Bay when cancer appeared in his lungs. Fox died on June 28, 1981 at age 22.

More than $650 million has been raised for cancer research in Fox’s name via the annual run, held not only in Canada, but around the world.

“It’s one thing to run across Canada, but now, people are really going to know what cancer is.”

“I don’t feel that this is unfair. That’s the thing about cancer. I’m not the only one, it happens all the time to people. I’m not special. This just intensifies what I did. It gives it more meaning. It’ll inspire more people.

I just wish people would realize that anything’s possible if you try; dreams are made possible if you try.

“If you’ve given a dollar, you are part of the Marathon of Hope.”

“I’m not a dreamer, and I’m not saying this will initiate any kind of definitive answer or cure to cancer, but I believe in miracles. I have to.”

“Even if I don’t finish, we need others to continue. It’s got to keep going without me.”

“It was an unusual year, with the province seeing an increase of 4,600 students, the first time in about 19 years that has happened,” Stretch said of the 2015-2016 school year.

Stretch said he’s also confident in the financial stability of the district because it has always met the balanced budget requirement and has adequate reserves.

This year has seen an increase in enrolment, particularly at the kindergarten level, with 115 students not anticipated.

“That’s a positive thing, it’s huge,” Stretch said. “If they stay through K to [Grade] 12, then our numbers will be strong in coming years.”

Kamloops man wins $1.4-million PNE Prize Home TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Before Dave Maw’s ticket was pulled as the winner of the PNE Prize Home this week in Vancouver, the most valuable item he had ever won in a lottery was a $150 suitcase.

Now, he’ll be packing that bag — among others — and heading to Naramata to live in his new $1.4-million home.

Maw and his wife, Lynn Held, travelled to Vancouver this week to check out the home.

He bought his ticket

online, so he had never seen it before.

“It’s really beautiful,” he said. “It’s what you’d expect for a prize home.”

The prize home is a two-level, 3,200-squarefoot property, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. It will sit on the Naramata bench in the South Okanagan town, with a commanding view of Lake Okanagan.

Maw said he and Held are going to sample life in their prize home before making any firm decisions — but he’s leaning toward life in the Okanagan.

“We’re going to probably live there, try it,” he said. “I’m getting close to retirement, anyway. We’re not exactly sure how it’s going to work out. Lynn has family down there, so I’m thinking it’s probably going to be a no-brainer.”

Maw said he often purchases tickets for charity lotteries, but his luck, until now, hasn’t been the best.

He said he won that carry-on suitcase four or five years ago in a lottery raising funds for B.C. Children’s Hospital.

“It won’t carry very much,” Maw said. “But we’ll use it.”

Hi, I’m Terry Lowe from

LOCAL NEWS B.C. LIBERAL KAMLOOPS-NORTH THOMPSON NOMINATION BATTLE

of Kamloops!

No date set for vote as candidates vetted CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Liberals vying to represent KamloopsNorth Thompson in next year’s provincial election are in the midst of a membership drive with an uncertain date for a nomination meeting.

A B.C. Liberal spokeswoman said the party is busy vetting candidates and has not set a date for the nomination meeting.

“All prospective candidates are subject to a thorough candidate approval process,” Jillian Stead said. “As such, this takes a few weeks to complete.”

Following the Sept. 1 announcement by incumbent Liberal Terry Lake that he will not run again in the May election next year, North Shore Business Improvement Association executive director Steve Puhallo and Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar were quick off the starting line.

Former Tobiano resort developer Mike Grenier announced his entry yesterday, which could further delay a nomination meeting while paperwork and candidate vetting is completed.

Party officials said there were about 200 members when Lake made his

announcement, putting candidates in high gear to sell additional memberships.

Stead confirmed the cutoff date to sell memberships is 28 days before the yet-tobe-determined nomination meeting date.

Puhallo and Milobar differed on when they would like the party to fix the nomination.

Puhallo continues to advocate for a meeting before the party’s Nov. 4 convention, arguing it will provide an opportunity for a nominated candidate to meet current and prospective Liberal MLAs as well as party officials.

“There’s a lot to be said for having a nominated candidate at the pre-election convention,” he said.

Grenier told reporters yesterday: “I’m fine either way” between a near or distant nomination meeting date.

He agreed with Puhallo that having a nominated candidate for the convention would be an advantage.

But Milobar doesn’t believe it’s realistic for the party to have candidates vetted and a nomination meeting set in the next six weeks for the riding that stretches north to Valemount.

He said more time will translate into more Liberal memberships as the campaigns vie for supporters.

“We’ll work with whatever they [Liberal party] come up with,” he said.

“Obviously, you want to use it as an opportunity to build the party up . . .

There’s a lot of time between now and the next election.”

Former Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger, who lives in Kamloops-South Thompson, said he is aware Milobar and Puhallo have teams signing up members to prepare for the nomination meeting.

In the late 1990s, Kamloops was home to one of the fiercest nomination battles in B.C., when city business leader Al McNair, one-time MLA Claude Richmond, former B.C. Medical Association president Gur Singh and city councillors Joe Leong and Jim Harker contested the race.

Between them, the quintet signed up about 5,000 members for a nomination meeting held at what is now called Sandman Centre, won in a fourth ballot

by Richmond.

While no one is expecting those numbers, Krueger said the candidates are well connected and predicts membership will swell.

“They’re very active in signing up members,” he said.

8th Annual

KGHM files statement of defence STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

CLYDE GILLESPIE

KGHM Ajax alleges in court documents filed this week that fired senior manager Clyde Gillespie signed a document giving the mining company the right to terminate him with minimum notice and two weeks’ pay.

In B.C. Supreme Court in August, Gillespie filed a statement of claim against the company attempting to build an open pit copper-gold mine at the site of the historic Ajax pit south of Aberdeen.

The statement of claim alleges the company led Gillespie to believe he was to become the overall head of the Ajax project, but the plan ran

WINNER

into problems because he was an American citizen.

Turmoil struck the Kamloops office in late May when the company, under Gillespie’s leadership in Kamloops, announced it was letting go of eight fulltime employes.

Little more than a week later, Gillespie was fired and escorted out of the building while other employees watched.

KGHM Ajax filed its statement of defence in B.C. Supreme Court.

It denies allegations by Gillespie that he was misled about his employment by the company and fired without its standard financial package.

The company claims it paid Gillespie four weeks’ severance “in lieu of notice with the requirements of the employ-

ment contract.”

Gillespie alleges in his lawsuit he was vulnerable because his permanent residency was not yet in place.

He also claims KGHM Ajax failed to properly compensate him for the dismissal.

Gillespie is seeking damages for pain and suffering, loss of income and expenses related to selling his Batchelor Heights home and moving back to the United States.

When Gillespie moved to Kamloops in May 2014 to head project development, KGHM Ajax was forced to obtain a labour market impact assessment to show a Canadian could not be hired to perform the job.

None of the claims have been heard or proven in court.

A trial date has not been set.

Nova Scotia dry spell a ‘dress rehearsal’, scientists predict THE CANADIAN PRESS

HALIFAX — An Environment Canada climatologist is warning a dry spell in Nova Scotia that has left some people without water is just a “dress rehearsal’’ for the kind of weather conditions Canada can expect in the years to come.

“These are little teasers, little dress rehearsals of what we’re going to be challenged with more in the future,’’ said David Phillips. “It’s not your grandparent’s weather anymore. It’s a new weather and it’s weird, wild and wacky.’’

Phillips said parts of Nova Scotia have been drier than normal this summer, with the Halifax area only receiving about two thirds of what it normally does in precipitation.

He said as temperatures warm up across the country over the next number of years, Canadians can expect more dry spells — and more frequently than normal.

“Don’t think that this was a one-off,’’ said Phillips, adding that Canadians should also expect the unexpected, as dry spells could be followed by flood conditions.

“What we need to do is learn from this and figure out how we build resilience and cushion the blow, because you can’t stop the weather.’’

For farmers, that could include monitoring forecasts and planting different seeds that require less precipitation, he said. Phillips said some may consider digging deeper wells.

Officials in Nova Scotia are

delivering water to residents of southwestern Nova Scotia haven’t seen rain in weeks and aren’t expecting any for the next couple of weeks.

“We need rain,’’ Municipal Affairs Minister Zach Churchill said.

“In order to fix the situation, we need about half a foot of rain to bring the water table up to a place where these wells will be able to hold water.’’

Churchill said bottled water is being delivered to the most affected areas, with water stations being opened for people to shower.

“This is a first, according to the records of Environment Canada,’’ said Churchill.

“We have never had a dry spell like this in this part of the country.’’

Budget surplus means B.C. MSP hike scrapped THE CANADIAN PRESS

Finance Minister Mike de Jong says the provincial budget surplus for this year will be six times higher than originally forecast.

In his latest fiscal update, de Jong said higher revenues will help boost the surplus for 2017 to $1.9 billion, up from $264 million projected earlier.

De Jong said much of the $2.5-billion gain in revenue is coming from higher corporate income taxes and property transfer taxes, and the windfall means the government will cancel a four-per-cent increase in health care premiums scheduled for Jan. 1.

He has also promised the government will use $500 million to announce new measures next week to boost housing affordability in addition to the 15 per cent foreign buyers tax aimed at cooling the Vancouver’s real estate market.

BRIEFS High debt levels raise alarms The Credit Counselling Society of B.C. is sounding the alarm over the latest figures showing Canadian households now owe $1.68 for every dollar of disposable income.

Society president Scott Hannah said that’s one cent higher than the average debt held by American consumers when the U.S. plunged into a recession in 2008.

Hannah said much of that collapse was linked to mortgages.

He said while the Canadian market is more robust, the recent slowdown in Vancouver home sales shows conditions can change rapidly.

Alberta judge finds Vader guilty of murder in slaying of seniors THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — A judge has found an Alberta man guilty of murdering two seniors who disappeared more than six years ago, but says there was nothing to suggest the killings were deliberate.

Justice Denny Thomas said yesterday he had concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that Travis Vader killed Lyle and Marie McCann during a robbery.

Vader was charged with first-degree murder and had pleaded not guilty.

Justice Denny Thomas said there wasn’t enough evidence to conclude Vader planned to kill the McCanns. He also said there were other possibilities as to how they died other than the one presented by the Crown.

That scenario had Vader killing one of the McCanns during the robbery and then killing the other to eliminate a witness.

“I cannot conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Vader killed the McCanns in a planned and deliberate manner,’’ Thomas said in a decision that was broadcast live from an Edmonton courtroom.

“The killing of the McCanns was not a firstdegree murder. It is therefore a second-degree murder.’’

The conviction carries an automatic life sentence, but a hearing still needs to be held to determine Vader’s parole eligibility. Thomas said he would reconvene court later in the day.

The bodies of the McCanns, who were both in their late 70s, have never been found, but Vader’s DNA and a fingerprint were found in their SUV. The vehicle and the couple’s burned-out motor home were discovered west of Edmonton days after the McCanns vanished.

Thomas said Vader’s moti-

vation when he came upon the couple at a campground was to rob them because he was broke, hungry and a drug addict.

“The McCanns and their property were likely nothing more than a target of opportunity — an opportunity that Mr. Vader took.’’

The Crown had argued that Vader, 44, was a crystal meth user living in a makeshift camp when he came across the McCanns and killed them.

The defence countered that, without evidence of human remains or a murder weapon, the Crown’s case was little more than a collection of theories and circumstantial evidence — and that there was no proof the couple was even dead.

Thomas dismissed the idea the McCanns could still be alive.

“Violence occurred in the interaction between the McCanns and Mr. Vader. There was bloodshed. A gun was dis-

charged,’’ he said.

“The McCanns were victims of violence. Mr Vader inflicted that violence. The McCanns suffered bodily harm. The presence of their blood makes that obvious.’’

The couple’s son, Bret McCann, said before the verdict that the family was looking for an end to a long nightmare.

In July 2010, the McCanns failed to show up as scheduled to pick up their daughter, Trudy Holder, at the Abbotsford airport for a family camping trip. She called the RCMP. The Mounties would come to be under scrutiny several times throughout the investigation.

The trial was punctuated by the ongoing drama of Vader’s late arrival for the proceedings; sometimes he blamed ill-working vehicles for his delays, and once he admitted he had simply slept in.

Walmart Canada to no longer accept Visa cards at its 16 Manitoba stores LINDA NGUYEN

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Walmart Canada continued its battle with Visa over merchant fees yesterday, with an announcement that it will no longer accept the popular credit card at any of its Manitoba stores starting next month.

The U.S.-based retail giant said the change will come into effect at all 16 locations in the province as of Oct. 24.

Customers will still be able to pay for purchases with cash, debit, MasterCard and

American Express cards.

Walmart pledged in June that it would stop accepting Visa at its more than 400 Canadian stores, arguing that it unfairly pays more than $100 million annually in credit card fees.

Three Thunder Bay, Ont., stores were the first locations to drop the credit card on July 18.

Walmart spokesman Alex Roberton said it decided to continue the phase-out in Manitoba after seeing the small impact it made in Thunder Bay.

“There has been no surprises’’ he said, noting that the Visa ban in Manitoba Walmarts will involve retraining cashiers and reprogramming payment equipment.

“Reaction from customers has been better than expected.”

Roberton said the retailer is singling out Visa because its fees are higher than its rivals, refuting the idea that the decision is due to attempts to promote the usage of Walmart’s own branded MasterCard.

“The reason why we’re

doing it is because the fees are too high,’’ he said.

“Visa is the company we’re dealing with right now.’’

When asked whether Walmart has plans to ban any other credit cards from its stores, he replied that he wasn’t going to speculate on what the company will do in the future.

Visa, the country’s largest credit card firm, declined a request for an interview but said in a statement that Walmart’s decision to drop Visa at more store locations was “disappointing.’’

Hungary is not far away from issuing orders to open fire on refugees,” said one of the European Union’s foreign ministers on Tuesday.

The minister called for the country to be suspended or even expelled from the EU because of its “massive violation” of the EU’s fundamental values.

And it’s true that Hungary has built a 175-kilometre razorwire fence along its southern border to keep migrants out.

It has deployed 10,000 police and soldiers along that border and is recruiting 3,000 border hunters equipped with pepper-spray and loaded pistols to help them in their task.

On Oct. 2, the country will hold a special referendum asking Hungarians: “Do you want the European Union to be able to mandate the obligatory resettlement of non-Hungarian citizens into Hungary even without the approval of the National Assembly?”

The answer Prime Minister Viktor Orban wants is “No” and he is certain to get it.

He was an antiCommunist student radical when I first interviewed him almost 30 years ago in the dying days of the Soviet empire.

He is now a right-wing demagogue, but he knew what Hungarians really thought about Communist rule then and he understands what they think about giving asylum to Muslim refugees now.

The EU foreign minister who made that incendiary remark about Hungarians shooting refugees was Jean Asselborn of Luxembourg, the smallest of the EU’s

GWYNNE DYER

World

WATCH 28 countries.

Foreign ministers of several bigger EU countries, including Germany’s FrankWalter Steinmeier, immediately condemned it.

Hungary’s foreign minister, Peter Szijjarto, said Asselborn has “long left the ranks of politicians who could be taken seriously” and has become a “frivolous character” who is “patronizing, arrogant and frustrated.”

He also called Asselborn a “classic nihilist” who works tirelessly to destroy Europe’s security and culture.

Szijjarto will not be alone in his views today, when 27 EU foreign ministers (the British foreign minister, Boris Johnson, was not invited) gather in Bratislava for an informal summit.

The official topic is the European Union’s future post-Brexit, but they will also be debating what to do about the millionplus migrants, most of them Syrian, Iraq and Afghan refugees, who arrived in the EU during the past 18 months.

It’s not just Hungarians who want to keep Muslim refugees out of the EU. Right-wing nationalists in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia and Austria feel the same — and they dominate the governments in most of those countries.

They see the more relaxed attitude of the

big Western European members to multiculturalism as a slowmotion form of cultural suicide (which is why Szijjarto called Asselborn a “classic nihilist”).

Most Eastern Europeans think this way because they have a different history.

They experienced almost no immigration under four decades of Communist rule and it is usually the places with few or no immigrants that are most terrified of them.

They also remember centuries of being attacked and invaded by a Muslim power — the Ottoman Empire, which ruled most of Hungary for more than 150 years.

This does not excuse their extreme views about Muslim refugees — “Calling someone a moderate Muslim is like calling someone a moderate Nazi,” said Czech President Milos Zeman five years ago — but it does explain them.

They think the Germans are crazy to let a million Muslim migrants in and they have no intention of sharing that burden, even if Berlin and the other big Western capitals say they should.

You can and should condemn this attitude toward desperate and mostly harmless refugees, even though there will inevitably be a few sleepers among them who are loyal to Islamic State, but you can’t just ignore it.

Global refugees are more numerous today than at any other time since 1950.

In 20 years, there will probably be five or 10 times as many and borders will be slamming shut everywhere.

The immediate driver of this tsunami of refugees will often be wars, but what

prompts the wars will be climate change and runaway population growth.

Africa’s population will double in the next 30 years, just as global warming cuts deeply into the continent’s food production.

The population growth rate of the greater Middle East, from Morocco to Pakistan, is lower than Africa’s, but higher than any other region.

Many countries can’t grow enough to feed their own people now and intense heat and semi-permanent drought will make the problem far worse.

There will be tens of millions of refugees and their destination will be the relatively developed and well-fed countries of Europe (and, in the case of refugees from central and southern Africa, South Africa as well).

Similar waves of climate refugees will be washing up against the southern border of the United States and the northern coast of Australia.

The Hungarians may not end up shooting refugees on their southern border this time around.

It’s still a quite small problem: oneor two-million refugees in the European Union (which has a population of 500 million) is really only a drop in the bucket.

However, with time the number of refugees will grow and politics everywhere is vulnerable to demagogues.

In 30 years’ time, and perhaps much sooner, there may be shooting along all these borders.

illon Alexandre huffed and puffed his way through an interview, his fellow Raiders running, passing and tackling behind him at Exhibition Park, the Kamloops Rugby Club’s downtown home.

He raved about the club’s new era under second-year head coach Derek Pue, who brings modern ideas to an old-school team, and spoke of the squad’s importance in his life.

“There’s nothing really like it.

It’s a sense of family. A bunch of these guys are my best friends now.”

Alexandre returned to practise, likely to be ribbed about his unscheduled media timeout.

Across the field, the women’s team was hard at work.

“Ready, ready, up!” was the cry as one group dashed forward in unison, learning to form a solid

defensive line, with assistant coach Kevin (Shrek) Hall shouting instructions.

Carling Ryan broke from the action for a quick word with KTW. “After the Rio Olympics, I can see the momentum building in women’s rugby and I don’t think it’s going to stop any time soon,” Ryan said.

“And I think a lot of it is about positive body image. The beautiful thing about rugby is everybody is needed.

“There’s nobody who is useless, nobody who is a waste of space.

As long as they’re willing to put in the time and effort, everybody is needed.”

Paul Industrial Park in the fall of 2012 with hopes of building a new clubhouse at the Tournament Capital Ranch.

Plans for the facility never materialized. The rugby fields at the ranch were among the best in B.C., but the location was a problem.

It was a 40-minute round trip twice a week for practice and three times a week when the Raiders played at home, where they were unable to host visiting teams in traditional rugby fashion, with a decent meal and a hot shower.

While providing beer was never an issue, there was a period of time in Rayleigh when KRC opposition — most often coming from the Lower Mainland — was asked after games to bathe in the North Thompson River.

The City of Kamloops and KRC agreed on a permanent move to Exhibition earlier this year and council awarded the club $50,000 to help with relocation.

KRC is aiming to break ground this fall on a new clubhouse — valued at about $460,000 — that will attach to the existing washroom and shower facilities in the small building alongside the Exhibition Park field, with summer of 2017 set as a completion target.

“Being more central, you’re able to draw a bigger spectator crowd and it’s closer for all the younger guys to come to practice and for travelling teams, too,” said longtime club member Erik Rissanen, a towering forward. “It’s right downtown.”

PACK LOOKING TO REBOUND AT HILLSIDE AFTER ‘WHOOPING’ IN ALBERTA ROAD SWING

Three days later, it obviously still bothered the WolfPack to talk about it.

At their seasonopening press conference in Kamloops on Tuesday, Thompson Rivers’ women’s soccer team wasn’t keen to relive the 10-0 shellacking the club suffered at the hands of the Calgary Dinos to open the 2016 Canada West season.

“We’ve kind of been speaking ad nauseam about our youth and the need to learn each other — Saturday was just a complete micro-

cosm of that coming to fruition,” head coach Kelly Shantz told KTW. The Wolves were better on Sunday, their second contest of the regular season, losing 2-0 to the Lethbridge Pronghorns in The Windy City.

“It was the deep end of the pool and we’re OK with that. We talked afterwards that we’re going to have days like that, to learn from it and move on. That’s the beauty of it — we did.”

Shantz was hired in April, after the program parted ways with seven-year bench boss Tom McManus.

He said a perfect storm of factors led to the roster thin in experience, including planning from a previous administration that “wasn’t really laid out as cleanly as it should have been.” To make matters worse, roughly a dozen players from last year’s squad had athletic eligibility remaining, but didn’t return to the Wolfpack black and orange.

“There’s a few things,” Maricle said, discussing the wealth of experience that exited the program in the offseason, in addition to the graduation of six regulars.

“I think school for some of the girls — they went to different schools, TRU wasn’t able to further their education. Also, just not the love for the game.

“That’s what I really like about the girls who are here — they want to be here, they want to learn and they’re improving every practice.”

Sasha Sirianni is among the contingent of players whose first

Canada West soccer experience was in Calgary at the field the Dinos lovingly refer to as Jurassic Park.

She said the Wolves have tried to put the loss behind them and are looking forward to showing it was a oneoff when they host the Alberta Pandas and the UNBC Timberwolves this weekend.

Kickoff is slated for noon tomorrow and Sunday at Hillside Stadium.

“We were in good shape because we didn’t want to lose like that again,” Sirianni said of moving past the loss Saturday. “We were tired of it, we didn’t like it, we knew we could

“I know we’re the underdogs right now, we’re probably the team with the most rookies and everything, but definitely [we’re planning on] coming out and showing teams that we can compete with every single one of them.”

Men searching for third win

The WolfPack men’s soccer team will also be home this weekend, playing host to the Lethbridge Pronghorns tomorrow and the Calgary Dinos on Sunday.

The mountain biking trails at Sun Peaks Resort will soon be covered in snow, but downhill riders will head up the hill this weekend for a few more trips at the BC Enduro Series Finale.

Enduro arrives at Sun Peaks Some of the toughest trails in Canada will test riders from across the country this weekend at the BC Enduro Series Finale.

The event — which doubles as the inaugural Canadian National Enduro Championships Finale — will be held at Sun Peaks Resort on Sunday.

The provincial circuit is split into two groups — BC Enduro East and West — which have been racing all season, some riders chasing overall points titles and others just in it for fun.

The Canadian series was started this year in part to give younger riders a stepping stone to the Enduro World

Series circuit. There were stops in Rossland, Mont-Saint-Anne, Que. and Revelstoke.

Riders will be timed on five downhill stages, but must pedal uphill to get to most of them (two lift rides will be incorporated) and the whole race can take anywhere between three and seven hours to complete.

Event director Ted Morton is expecting World Series riders to rip it up on the challenging Sun Peaks course.

Races begin at 8 a.m. Olympic bronze medallist Catharine Pendrel will compete and will be honoured at a recognition ceremony at 3 p.m. on Sunday.

Pue, who spent 12 years playing for Abbotsford and clashing with KRC, knew his methods might be a tough sell when he signed on to coach the Raiders prior to the 2015-2016 season.

“I didn’t know whether the old boys, especially, would take to me, but the guys have really grasped onto the philosophy and we’re moving forward,” said Pue, dodging a rugby ball that soared a few feet wide of his head.

“I want to let players play and give them the tools to go out and read the game. I don’t create robots. In Canadian rugby, we’re seen as grinders. I want

to start building skill.”

Week 1 of the 2016 B.C. Rugby Union fall season has arrived and the Raiders’ women will take centre stage in Division 1 action tomorrow, with the Brit Lions of Delta coming to Kamloops for an 11:30 a.m. kickoff at Exhibition.

“We’ve got a lot of new bodies and some fresh, upcoming athletes,” Ryan said. “We’re ready to go.”

KRC’s men begin their Division 2 fall campaign against the Surrey Beavers at Exhibition on Sept. 24. Match time is 1 p.m.

“We’ve come on leaps and bounds,” Rissanen said. “It’s a totally different atmosphere with

a new coach and he’s bringing a new, totally different style of attack. It’s awesome.”

“The young guys are buying into his system and the old guys are following suit.”

World Cup boasts stars THE CANADIAN PRESS

Some of the players to watch on the eight teams competing at the World Cup of Hockey in Toronto, which begins tomorrow.

Patrick Kane, U.S.

The reigning NHL MVP and three-time Stanley Cup winner gets another showcase stage in international play after not producing up to expectations at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Kane won’t have usual Chicago Blackhawks teammate Jonathan Toews, but he’ll likely have either 30-goal scorer Joe Pavelski or Derek Stepan as his centre.

Connor McDavid, North America

McDavid, 19, is already a real threat to win the Art Ross Trophy next season as the league’s top scorer after posting 48 points in 45 games as a rookie. The tournament in Toronto will allow the Oilers star to show off his considerable skills against hockey’s elite. Teaming up with other top youngsters like Auston Matthews, Jack Eichel, Nathan MacKinnon and Johnny Gaudreau makes North America a team to watch.

Vladimir Tarasenko, Russia

Tarasenko hasn’t quite reached the Alex Ovechkin stratosphere of goal-scoring, but he’s rapidly moving in that direction for the St. Louis Blues.

The 24-year-old hit a career-high with 40 goals last season and his 77 goals over the past two campaigns trail only Ovechkin (103) and Tampa Bay Lightning captain Steven Stamkos (79).

Like Ovechkin, he’s an explosive scorer capable of creating some-

thing from nothing.

Patrik Laine, Finland

Laine thought that he, not Matthews, should’ve been the No. 1 overall pick of the 2016 draft, and at the World Cup he’ll get his first chance to demonstrate why. Laine is coming off an unbelievable year that saw him thrive everywhere: from a championship-winning squad in the Finnish league, where he was playoff MVP, to a gold-medal win on home soil at the world junior championship, to the world championship in Russia, where Finland won silver. Laine turned 18 in April, but he’s already exceptionally confident and an especially enticing figure to watch.

Erik Karlsson, Sweden

No other defenceman in hockey today is quite like the captain of the Ottawa Senators.

Karlsson can be mesmerizing to watch for his ability to dish the puck. Over the past five NHL seasons, Karlsson has 314 points, 76 more than the next closest defender, Nashville’s P.K. Subban.

Leon Draisaitl, Europe

One of only a handful of German players in the NHL, Draisaitl is easily the brightest young star suiting up for a

veteran-laden Europe squad.

His first full season for the Oilers was promising, as the 20-yearold former No. 3 overall pick rung up 19 goals and 51 points.

Skilled with a sturdy six-footone frame, Draisaitl has been compared to Los Angeles Kings’ captain Anze Kopitar and the two will get a chance to play alongside one another at the World Cup.

Jakub Voracek, Czech Republic

The Czechs could struggle without injured centre David Krejci, so their tournament hinges on goaltending and Voracek leading the offence.

Going into the first season of a $66 million, eight-year contract with the Philadelphia Flyers, the talented winger has plenty of pressure on him.

Carey Price, Canada

When healthy, Price is without a doubt the best goaltender in the world. After missing almost an entire NHL season with a knee injury, the star of the Montreal Canadiens is Canada’s backbone. If he plays like he did in Sochi, the rest of the teams may be fighting for second place.

Canada and the Czech Republic square off at 5 p.m . tomorrow.

PROUDLY PRESENTED BY

James granted parole THE CANADIAN PRESS

LAVAL, Que. — Disgraced former junior hockey coach Graham James was granted full parole yesterday.

The decision was handed down by the National Parole Board following a hearing at a federal penitentiary in Laval, north of Montreal.

James is serving a federal sentence for sexually assaulting players he coached in the late 1980s and early 1990s with the Swift Current Broncos of the Western

GRAHAM JAMES

Hockey League.

James was granted day parole in January and the board members agreed he’d shown progress over the past months.

Yesterday, the parole board touched on the impact his crimes had on his victims — 20 by

his own admission.

Board member Marc Gold read some of the victim statements: One said James took away his “soul and dignity,’’ while another said the assaults left him a “broken and battered’’ man.

Another was ready to commit suicide.

James told the hearing he managed to justify the acts to himself and that “rational thinking went by the wayside.’’

He described his acts as “horrific.’’

“I feel ashamed, I feel that I failed the people for whom I had the greatest respon-

sibility and to whom I was closest,’’ James said.

“It was a great failure in my life that I let them down.’’

Under full parole, James will now serve the remainder of his sentence in the community.

There are several conditions attached that forbid James from being in a position of trust with minors and he cannot communicate with his victims or their families.

The conditions will remain in place until his seven-year sentence expires in 2019.

RENTON, Wash. — During his decade in Los Angeles, Pete Carroll felt the void.

Even though USC football was the biggest thing in the Los Angeles area during the 2000s and Carroll was the architect behind the dominant Trojans, there was something missing in the football community without the NFL. “It just didn’t feel right,’’ Carroll said. “There was a hole there that was so obvious. That’s why the league was so adamant and so diligent about staying with it and eventually getting it done.’’

Perhaps it’s just coincidence — but most likely not — that Carroll’s Seattle Seahawks will be the first visiting NFL team to play in Los Angeles in 22 years when they face the Rams on Sunday.

Six other teams will visit the Coliseum this season. Many of those will have a number of players from California, typically one of the top states for producing NFL players.

But few of those will match the connections and history the Seahawks have.

“There is still a connection. It was that deep of an experience with the fans and the school and the community and all that,’’ Carroll said.

Carroll has the most obvious history from his nine years as the head coach at USC. He arrived at USC under heavy scrutiny as a twice-fired NFL reject and made the Trojans champions again.

“I saw it really as an opportunity,’’ Carroll said. “Our first game we played San Jose State and there were like 40,000 people there. When there’s 40,000 people in that stadium, it’s like there’s nobody home, it’s like a spring game. I was kind of disappointed, I was like, ‘This is what it’s like?’ It changed after a while. It was always obvious to me that there were

tremendous opportunities.’’

There are others who are relishing their opportunity to play in LA. Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner grew up 45 minutes from the Coliseum and hoped to play for the Trojans in college. He ended up at Utah State instead, making this weekend his first opportunity to play in the venerable stadium.

“When I saw that on the schedule I definitely was excited to not only play my first game in L.A., but to also play the first game since whenever it was,’’ Wagner said. “I think it’s a fun opportunity. We have a lot of California guys that are looking forward to it. I’ve never gotten a chance to have all my family there. I have family who can’t travel because of certain things, so to be 45 minutes away and have them come see a game, I’m looking forward to it.’’

Richard Sherman also has a lengthy history, one that Carroll would rather forget.

During his time at Stanford, Sherman was part of two of the more memorable Cardinal wins at the Coliseum.

Sherman caught a key fourth down pass on the winning drive of Stanford’s 24-23 upset of USC in 2007 that ended the Trojans’ 35-game home winning streak. Two years later, Sherman came back as a cornerback and returned an interception 43 yards for a touchdown in Stanford’s 55-21 blowout that became known as the “What’s your deal’’ game.

“I’m sure it’s going to be huge for Pete, it’s going to be cool,’’ Sherman said. “He has a lot of good memories and some bad memories in that stadium. It’s going to be fun. I have a lot of great memories, very fond.’’

Examining the theology of Lord of the Rings

“

The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally religious and Catholic work; unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision.” — J.R.R. Tolkien.

Not everyone knows the famous author of Lord of the Rings was an observant Catholic. Moreover, he was one of the people who most influenced C.S. Lewis’ conversion from atheism to Christianity. Some readers of Tolkien’s trilogy have analyzed the religious parallels in the books and this column will examine a few of them.

Lord of the Rings deals with a theme common in the literature of the world — the epic struggle between good and evil.

Evil is represented by Sauron, his lieutentants Saruman and the Witch-king of Angmar, the Nazgul and the legions of orcs, Uruk-hai and others who do his bidding.

The parallel between these characters and Satan and his demons in Christian theology are unmistakable.

The evil trinity of Sauron, the Witch-king and Saruman are reminiscent of Satan/The Dragon, The Beast/Antichrist and the vice-Beast in the book of Revelation. In both scenarios, world domination and destruction of any who would oppose their goals are the same.

“Good” is represented primarily

by Gandalf, Aragorn, the “angelic” elves and the hobbits, living harmoniously in their Eden-like paradise.

Gandalf is like one of the Old Testament prophets (Elijah comes to mind). He is wise, a counsellor to kings, a diviner of future events and capable of unleashing tremendous power when needed.

And like Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration, he returns in a blindingly transfigured form after “death” (quite a memorable scene in Fangorn forest in Peter Jackson’s film version).

A number of Tolkien scholars have noted similarities between the dwarves in Lord of the Rings, and the Jewish people.

CHRIS KEMPLING

You Gotta Have

FAITH

They were a people bereft of their homeland, longing to return and reclaim it. And it is no coincidence that in The Hobbit, dwarf leader Thorin had 12 followers in his troupe (12 apostles?).

Tolkien’s invented Dwarvish language, Khudzul, is based intentionally on Semitic phonology.

Moreover, like medieval Jews, the dwarves only speak their language with one another and use the languages of the peoples around them for general converse.

Another biblical parallel is the “possession” of Theoden, King of Rohan. He is in the thrall of the spirit of Saruman until his “exorcism” by Gandalf.

In the movie version, the appearance of Theoden reminded me of the temporary insanity of King Nebudchanezzar in the Book of Daniel as he was driven away from the people and ate grass like cattle. His body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird.

One of the things that struck me when I watched Jackson’s film version of The Return of the King was the fiery demise of Denethor, the “Lord and Steward of Gondor”.

Denethor, wreathed in flame, plummets off the high promontory of the city of Minis Tirith and falls blazing to his doom. It reminded me of Jesus’ statement in the book of Luke: “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.”

Denethor is not “Satan” per se, but he does represent some similar qualities. As Steward of Gondor, he is not the king, but a temporary ruler awaiting the return of the king.

But when Aragorn returns to reclaim his throne, Denethor refuses to surrender it. In the movie he calls Aragorn “this usurper,” but he is the one actually doing the usurping.

Likewise, in the book of Ezekiel, Satan/Lucifer is admonished for wanting to supplant God on the throne of Heaven, and suffers fiery consequences: “So I threw you to the earth [and] made a fire come out from you, and it consumed you, and I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching.”

It is common for Catholics to invoke the aid of the Virgin Mary when they are in distress — and many miracles have been attributed to her intervention.

Similarly in Lord of the Rings, Sam and Frodo invoke Varda (Elbereth, the Star Queen in Elvish) when they are attacked by the Nazgul on Weathertop.

Lord of the Rings doesn’t really have a Christ figure, one who sacrifices himself for the good of all.

Aragorn, the warrior-king, is more like King David than Christ.

King David is the saviour of the land and gives it ultimate peace after vanquishing a multitude of hostile enemies. Aragorn accomplishes the same tasks.

Lord of the Rings can obviously be enjoyed simply for its creative genius and masterful storytelling.

But, as Tolkien himself said, it is indelibly infused with Christian and Catholic themes.

I think Tolkien would agree — we are all waiting for the “return of the King.”

Hannah Joy Perris

Rolio Lombardi

1973 - 2016

1931 – 2016

It is with very heavy hearts that we announce that Hannah Joy Perris of Savona, BC passed away peacefully on September 11, 2016 at 43 years of age.

She is survived by her loving husband Jason and their two children Elijah and Ebany, siblings Dameon Lorensen (Robyn) of Langley, Caleb Lorensen of Everett, WA, Abra Lorensen (predeceased) and Mother and Father Derril and Lynne Lorensen of Kamloops.

Born in Winchester, California, Hannah moved to Pink Mountain, BC at three months old with her parents and two other siblings at the time, and then moved to Savona in 1980. Hannah graduated from Kamloops Secondary School in 1991. Hannah met Jason in 1992 at the age of 19 and they never looked back. With the help of Elvis, they married at the Graceland Chapel in Las Vegas in 1995, enjoying over 21 years of marriage.

Her proudest achievement was raising her two children Elijah (22) and Ebany (19).

She was very active in the sports community, volunteering as needed with her kid’s numerous sports activities. She spent over 12 years on the Kamloops Minor Hockey Board in a variety of roles, including Vice-President.

Hannah faced her life challenges head on; sharing her kind, joyful spirit along the way. Her family is so grateful to have her in their life and anyone that knew her, would understand why. While her presence will be sorely missed, her joy and love she shared will continue through those whose lives she touched.

A Celebration of Hannah’s Life will take place at noon on Tuesday, September 20th, 2016 at St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral, 360 Nicola Street, Kamloops with The Very Reverend Kenneth J. Gray presiding, with a short reception to follow.

Special thanks to her many friends and family for their unwavering support as well her Health Care Team at RIH and the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House.

Memorial Donations may be made to the Kamloops Hospice, 72 Whiteshield Cr. South, Kamloops, BC,V2E 2S9

A page has turned and a chapter has ended, but our family story continues. Our mom quietly closed her eyes and fell asleep at home last Friday night, September 9th, 2016 with her husband and children at her side. Another angel is in Heaven.

She was born in Wettringen, Germany on April 28, 1928. Our mom arrived in Canada in 1956, happy to leave a war-torn country for this wonderful new land, after being coaxed to come by her two sisters who were already here.

After meeting our dad Otto, they were married in 1958 - two had found each other. They spent their first six years in Saskatchewan and then decided to go west and make a home in Kamloops, where Dad began a successful plumbing contracting business. Mom was the glue that held things together in our family – really, it was a partnership - dad’s business flourished and mom held the home front together. Instinctively, she became ‘super-mom’, baking, preserving, cooking meals, sewing costumes for those many new (to her) Canadian occasions and always being available to supervise our homework – skills we took for granted but that sadly now often fall by the wayside in today’s families.

Education was very important to our parents and mom modeled that by acquiring her own Canadian High School equivalency. She ensured that we all pursued higher education and got into good professions. Mom was curious, interested

Special Thanks to Dr. John Reid and to all the staff at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice for the excellent care given to Rolio. Donations may be made to the Kamloops Hospice, 72 Whiteshield Cr. South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9.

The Graveside Service will take place at 2:00 pm on Friday, September 16, 2016 at the Hillside Cemetery, 750 Notre Dame Dr., with Lawrence Schrader officiating.

Elisabeth Fischer

Rolio Lombardi of Kamloops passed away on Tuesday, September 13, 2016 at 84 years of age. He is survived by his cousins Bruno (Elsie) Wojak of Kamloops, Leonard (Marian) Schmeichel of USA, Ruth (Sanford) Johnson of USA, Frank-Rudiger (Ursula) Zimmermann of Germany. He was predeceased by his father and mother Nazario and Elsi Lombardi, as well as many numerous relatives in BC, Alberta, USA and Germany.

and wondered about things. She was a pacifist and was very adamant about Canada not becoming involved in international conflicts. She was engaged in current affairs until the day she left us. Mom was a news addict, a CBC listener and committed to the principle of a prosperous and free Canada – she was particularly satisfied that the Conservatives had not experienced success during the last federal election.

Our parents felt privileged to be able to acquire recreational property and our family get-away at Shuswap Lake became a paradise for her.

Although Mom wasn’t particularly religious despite being raised Catholic, she believed that God was everywhere in nature and especially at Magna Bay. She was the driving force behind many of the improvements there for which the rest of us are now extremely grateful.

Mom outlived all of her siblings and remained sad about having lost two of them during the Second World War. She provided our family with guidance and sober second thoughts as we started our own life chapters. Her pride and joy were her seven grandsons Kurt, Tristan, Adrian, Evan, Noah, Alex and Jordyn. She never stopped telling us how proud of us all she was and that she knew we felt the same.

Doris Catherine Merkosky September 7, 1936 - September 10, 2016

It is with great sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce

the passing of our beloved mother Doris Catherine Merkosky. Mom passed away on the morning of Saturday, September 10, 2016 with her children by her side.

Doris was born on September 7, 1936 in Regina, Saskatchewan where she lived her early years before moving to North Battleford to start her career in radio.

Later she moved to Edmonton where she met her future husband Martin. They started their family in Edmonton then moved to Humboldt, Saskatchewan for a few years prior to settling in Kamloops, BC in 1969.

Doris is survived by her four children Glenn (Jennifer) Merkosky, Doug (Melody) Merkosky, Sandra (John) Keyton, Carmen Moore and her eleven grandchildren Brandon, Kyle, Riley and Jack Merkosky; Kirsty, Shane and Brandie Merkosky; Joshua Keyton; Kelsey, Nicholas and Jordan Moore and five great-grandchildren Easton and Dawson Merkosky; Ryan, Reese and Kate Fisher.

Doris also leaves behind one brother and sister Frank (Jean) Roberts and Ann (Albert) Mizzi as well as many extended family and beloved friends.

Doris is pre-deceased by her loving husband Martin, who passed away in April 2013. She is also pre-deceased by her brother Fin and sister Sue. Doris’ proudest accomplishment was her family. She loved family gettogethers for barbeques and bocce tournaments. She enjoyed reading, spending time on her computer, playing cards and bowling. Our mother’s most precious moments were her evenings spent relaxing, telling stories and laughing with her children and friends. She had a great sense of humour and making someone smile or laugh was a goal each and everyday.

Prayers will be recited on Friday, September 16, 2016 at 7:00 pm and the Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, September 17, 2016 at 11:00 am both at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, 635 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, BC. Celebrant, Father Paul Simms.

Cordell Glen Thompson January 29, 1949 - September 11, 2016

Dad passed away peacefully on September 11, 2016 at the age of 67 from cancer at his daughter’s home in Kelowna, BC. He is survived by his five children Michelle (Rob), Cindy, Darren (Sue), Sara (Jason), William (Susan) and six grandchildren Jayden, Danielle, Nicholas, Brandon, Emma and Alex. He leaves his brothers Larry (Cathie), Alvin (Michael) and Barry (Sandy), nieces and nephew Jennifer, Melissa and Barry Jr. He will also be missed by long-time friend Norma along with many friends and acquaintances in the community. He is predeceased by his mom Effie Thompson (1997) and dad Emil Thompson (2000).

Dad was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba and moved to BC with his family in 1966. Dad worked a few odd jobs until 1969 when he got a job in the kitchen at Tranquille where he worked himself up to a cook’s position. Dad was with Tranquille until they closed their doors in 1985. He then worked as maintenance at Brock Bingo Hall where he stayed until the 1990’s. Dad was a humble man and a very likable individual with a great sense of humour. He was very generous and quick to offer his help when needed.

He touched many people’s lives in the many years he spent in Kamloops.

We love you and will miss you dad.

A Celebration of Life/BBQ will be held at his son Darren’s home on October 1, 2016.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Kamloops Food Bank.

Marcella Antonia Cernoia Marcella Antonia Cernoia passed away peacefully on September 10, 2016 in Victoria at the age of 92. She is survived by her son John (Nancy) and grandchildren Coral and Clark. She was predeceased in 1989 by her husband of 39 years Luciano.

REMEMBER

By Christina Rossetti

Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can go no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.

Marcella grew up in the small town of Stermizza in Northern Italy and married Luciano in 1950.

They moved to Belgium where John was born in 1952. In 1955, they moved to Canada and Marcella made a home for the young family in the CN town of Redpass near Jasper. They moved to Kamloops in 1962 where Marcella thrived as an accomplished gardener, with vegetables and fruit trees producing large crops every year.

Marcella was devoted to her family, church and close friends and she was a true example of the benefits of hard work and enjoying life’s simple things. In her final year, Marcella found renewed health and happiness in Victoria, near her family and meeting new friends.

Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray.

Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile

A Funeral Service will be held in Victoria on September 17, 2016. Marcella will be laid to rest beside Luciano in Kamloops at a Burial Service on Monday, September 19 at 2:00 pm at Hillside Cemetery.

IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Every Friday in KTW!

Q. My arrangements are prepaid elsewhere. Can I transfer my arrangements?

A. Yes you can. It’s quick, simple and there’s no charge.

I’d invite you bring your documents and come by for a visit to discuss.

Drake Cremation & Funeral Services

210 Lansdowne Kamloops 250-377-8225 DrakeCremation.com AFFORDABLE & NO BLACK SUITS

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

But just in case I might be wrong, And today is all I get, I’d like to say how much I love you And I hope we never forget.

If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss And call you back for one more.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, Young or old alike, And today may be the last chance You get to hold your loved one tight.

If I knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.

So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, Why not do it today?

For if tomorrow never comes, You’ll surely regret the day,

If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute To stop and say “I love you,” Instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

That you didn’t take that extra time For a smile, a hug, or a kiss And you were too busy to grant someone, What turned out to be their one last wish.

If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.

So hold your loved ones close today, And whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them And that you’ll always hold them dear

For surely there’s always tomorrow To make up for an oversight, And we always get a second chance To make everything just right.

Take time to say “I’m sorry,” “Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” or “It’s okay.”

And if tomorrow never comes, You’ll have no regrets about today. © Norma Cornett Marek ~ 1989

There will always be another day To say “I love you,” And certainly there’s another chance To say our “Anything I can do?”

Coming up this season:

Joseph Elworthy is returning to Kamloops to perform at Sagebrush Theatre on Sept. 24 as part of Kamloops Symphony Orchestra’s 40th anniversary festivities, Celebrating 40 Years. As shown above in a newspaper clipping, the cellist won a KSO competition in 1993.

Cello Concerto No. 2

DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

wenty-three years ago, a teenaged Joseph Elworthy headed to Kamloops to take part in the annual New Celebrity Concert put on by the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra.

He was given the Cello Concerto No. 1

by Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich, a piece that was ideal for him because he loves it, Elworthy said.

He won the competition and, within three days, found himself performing the concerto with the KSO publicly, a time that was a bit of a whirlwind but which he enjoyed immensely.

That was the one

and only time Elworthy, a Burnaby native, performed with the orchestra — but he’ll be kicking off its upcoming anniversary season this month, again doing the Shostakovich work, along with the Coriolan Overture by Beethoven and the Italian Symphony No. 4 by Mendelssohn. The concert is at Sagebrush Theatre on Sept. 24.

“I’m really honoured they reached out to me for the 40th anniversary season,” Elworthy said.

“The KSO is dear to my heart, just the fact they gave me an opportunity when I was just cutting my teeth in music.”

Since then, Elworthy has performed around the world on some of the biggest stages in

the classical-music community.

He was a member of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra from 2002 to 2014, has several music projects that also see him and his cello on stage and, in 2011, he was named executive director of the Vancouver Academy of Music — a place he first entered as a fouryear-old whose parents wanted him to learn to play a musical instrument.

“It was just by chance a cello was given to me,” Elworthy said, “because there were wait lists for violin and viola.”

His parents liked it because they were fans of Spanish cellist Pablo Casals, who was viewed as one of the best cel-

lists of the 20th century.

While not musicians themselves — and having come from Ireland — music was always part of home life, Elworthy said.

Four may seem a young age to start the cello but Elworthy pointed out it was the 1970s, when the Suzuki movement was at its peak, one that promoted children taking up an instrument as early as three years of age.

Elworthy said he’s been thinking about the 1993 competition as he prepares to perform this month. He’s also teaching it to some of his own students now.

“I think I’m so much wiser and more effective because of my teaching experience,” he said.

“But you need a bal-

ance between performing and teaching.”

Add in an administrative load running the academy and being involved with its sister school in Hong Kong and his work days — and often evenings — are full.

Taking a break, Elworthy and his family headed to New York last month for a vacation.

He left that city just three weeks before the terrorist attacks of Sept.

11, 2001, “and it was moving to come back and reflect on the passage of time.

“You know, I’ve followed the KSO for decades,” he said.

“Young musicians these days, they enjoy going up to Kamloops and playing.

“It’s a treasure.”

The Kamloops Symphony Orchestra’s 40th season will include favourites and new works.

PROVINCIAL WINTER FAIR My Time In 4-H My name is Victoria Brettell and I am 13 years old. My experiences in 4-H so far have been three years of being a lamb member of Lower North Thompson 4-H club, and this year being my very first as a Photography project member. In previous years, our club has not had a photography division, so I decided to be the first! Since I have always had an interest in photography, switching 4-H projects seemed a great way to learn more about it. I’m excited to go into the 78th Annual Provincial Winter Fair, this year back in Kamloops, and, instead of showing an animal, I will be displaying my photos. (And I might have an open lamb project, because I do miss my sheep.) Guests are going to have a great time! I am also going to be auctioning off one of my favourite photos at the livestock auction on Monday, September 26th. I would like to thank my dad, Robert, for being a 4-H Photography leader, and my 2015 lamb buyer, Jeff Glaicar at RBC Securities. ~ Hope to See You At the Fair!

A Kamloops musical trio will be travelling to Nashville to record an EP after winning a nationwide contest.

The Bees and the Bare Bones — composed of Madison Olds, Chloe Beauchamp-Brisson and Abby Wale — were announced as the winner of the Chevy Tailgate contest during Sunday night’s broadcast of the CMT Music Awards.

The contest is a partnership

between Chevy and Country Music Television Canada and started with more than 100 video submissions of original songs.

It was narrowed down to 12 semi-finalists, including The Bees and the Bare Bones, which travelled to Camrose, Alta., and performed at the Big Valley Jamboree.

The prize for winning includes a trip to the country music capital of the world in Tennessee, along with $10,000 toward a recording session in a professional studio.

When the trio was announced as the winner on national TV Sunday, a roar went up at the Frick and Frack restaurant on Victoria Street, where about 40 friends and family had gathered to watch the show.

“There was a lot of yelling and screaming and the whole restaurant heard,” said Abby’s mom Heidi Wales.

Plans for the trip have yet to be discussed, but the trio told KTW in a previous interview they would use the opportunity to record an EP.

Community Band seeking new members The Kamloops Community Band is looking for new members for its upcoming season.

Directed by Cliff Noakes and Don Bennett, the band is composed of amateur players including secondary and university students, working adults and retirees.

Rehearsals are on Sundays from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the music room at South Kamloops secondary on Ninth Avenue. Anyone interested can attend.

L

acking local talent?

Not us.

Witness Kamloops trio Bees and the Bare Bones, made up of young musicians Abby Wale, Madison Olds and Chloé Beauchamp-Brisson.

The three are now on their way to a recording studio in Nashville, the result of winning the nationwide Chevy Tailgate contest this past Sunday.

Wale, Olds and Beauchamp-Brisson grew up playing music (Olds’ family is musical and there were always lots of instruments and encouragement around).

Clearly, that early musical experience came in handy.

For kids without access to guitars, fiddles and pianos, though, it can be harder to develop those musical skills.

That’s where a new local program, The Whole Note, comes in.

Designed for “emerging youth musicians looking to fulfill their passion and potential,” this year The Whole Note will offer 20 grades 8 and 9 students who face financial barriers a chance to take music lessons (instrumental or voice), at no charge.

Youth accepted into the program also get free tuition to the

Now, The Whole Note gives “musically inclined youth even more opportunities.”

KATHY SINCLAIR

OF THE CITY Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music, an intensive three-week program that runs each July, plus opportunities to play and perform with local community bands and music groups.

And, once they’re accepted into the program, they may reapply and continue through to graduation, with 20 new Grade 8 students added every year.

The program is selfdirected.

Students accepted may choose to study with any area teacher or music school.

Launched by the Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music, The Whole Note is the brainchild of executive director Kim Mangan and a group of community members who believe in the power of music.

Mangan took inspiration from programs such as Vancouver’s Sarah McLachlan

School of Music, which offers voice, guitar, percussion, ukulele and other classes to under-served and at-risk youth in Vancouver, Surrey and Edmonton.

The eligibility requirements for The Whole Note?

Aside from financial need, Mangan and her committee are looking for a streak of healthy obsession.

“We want kids who are not only involved in their school bands, but the ones who go to the music room at lunch and beg to try new instruments,” she says.

“The ones who spend their afterschool hours searching YouTube for new songs and creating opportunities for themselves.”

As the recipient of a music bursary from the City of Kamloops 30 years ago, Mangan knows the difference a little support can make.

“I can’t even tell you how much receiving that meant to me at the time,” she says of the gift that enabled her to take clarinet lessons.

“I was so proud. I didn’t become a pro-

fessional musician, but I found a supportive peer group and that helped build my selfconfidence and develop my identity.”

(Not to mention the drive to transform the community through music.)

The City of Kamloops continues to provide a music bursary through the Boogie the Bridge Cultural Fund.

Now, The Whole Note gives musically inclined youth even more opportunities.

So far, there’s been lots of interest from the community and the program has struck a chord with sponsors and donors, too, including TD, Telus and New Gold, as well as the city.

Music to your ears?

If you’re a local Grade 8 or Grade 9 student, there’s still time to get in. The application deadline is Oct. 21.

Students will be notified of acceptance in November.

For more information, go online to wholenote.info.

33 subjects from Mark Twain to Motorcycling in Mongolia, Music, Classic Films, travels in China, Romania and Antarctica, Chemistry, Religion, Healing, Rituals, Volcanoes and much More!

icolette Eadie didn’t know anyone else who played the ukulele so she picked up Ukulele for Dummies and began teaching herself.

Until recently, she hadn’t considered other ways of learning the instrument.

“Jim D’Ville teaches by ear,” she said. “You can’t learn by ear by learning from a book.”

Instead, you need the confidence to believe you can hear changing chords without seeing them on paper, Eadie said, a tip she picked up during a recent festival held by the Ukulele Orchestra of Kamloops, of which

want to get back into music or tick something off their bucket list.

“People who haven’t played the ukulele don’t feel threatened,” she said.

Lessons are starting this month. Eadie is inviting newbies to join beginner classes.

If anyone simply wants to try, they can borrow a ukulele and drop-in for up to four sessions for free.

“If they like it, they buy a membership after,” Eadie said.

Instruments can also be rented from Lee’s Music at 1305 Battle St. or Long & McQuade, at 955 Lorne St. For more information, go online to ukleleorchestraofkamloops.com.

They’re already in the process of booking next year’s venue and hope to make it an annual event.

Eadie isn’t sure yet whether they’ll aim bigger when it comes to the festival.

Their overall group, however, keeps getting larger three and a half years after its inception.

“We have a growing community of ukulele players in Kamloops,” Eadie said.

More than 50 people participate in meetings, lessons and practices, from beginners who have never picked up a ukulele to those with a bit more experience.

The group wrapped up the three-day event featuring concerts, workshops and a jam session. Eadie said in its first year, she was thrilled with the response.

“It was fabulous,” she said. “Well attended, great response. That whole three-day festival was booked up within a month and a half.”

They set a cap on registration at about 80 people to keep things under control in its inaugural year.

Eadie said they didn’t promote the event as heavily as they could have.

recently spoke with emerging artist Deanna Kolbinson.

She has an intelligent inquisitive mind that pushes her to explore many different styles and mediums in her artwork.

Like many artists, Kolbinson is modest about her paintings and achieves beautiful results in many different ways.

Her paintings are bold, subtle and unique all at the same time.

She always surprises the viewer with what is coming next.

The following is an interview the visual artist: Karla Pearce: What is your background and artistic medium?

Deanna Kolbinson: I had been involved in the commercial arts since the 1980s, designing everything from logos and beer labels to theatre posters and album covers, so the move to what I consider recreational painting was inevitable.

I work mostly in oils and graphite but also recently began experimenting in acrylic and watercolour.

KP: When did you know you were going to become an artist?

DK: I don’t consider myself an artist.

To me, that is a title I have not yet earned.

I haven’t starved enough (so to speak).

I am flattered people are intrigued enough to purchase my work, but in a field with so much history and prominence, I’ll be a mere apprentice for years to come. However, it’s something I’ve loved as far back as I can remember.

KP: What led you to and kept you on your creative path?

DK: My eldest brother, whom I greatly admired, loved to draw so in an effort to emulate him, I took to pencil and paper.

My supportive family has always encouraged me.

My husband Thor puts up with my idiosyncrasies, the oil smells, takes care not to bump into wet paint-

ings, tops up the art supply kitty when it’s low and still manages to smile. So it’s really been an easy road so far.

KP: Describe your creative process.

DK: I don’t have a studio. I’ve tried, but I’m most comfortable in my living room and some kind of background noise is a must.

KP: What motivates you to create?

DK: I believe there is an artist in everyone of aboriginal descent.

You look around and see all these wonderful pieces of art done by indigenous Canadians.

Certainly our heritage is closer to earth and even though mine has been obscured by a couple of urbanized generations, I feel my relationship with the earth is my motivation.

KP: What or who inspires you most?

DK: Every time I leave my apartment I’m inspired by something this wonderful city of Kamloops throws at me, whether it’s someone’s junk at a yard sale or a boutique’s fine window display.

There’s always food for our creative minds and this city makes it easy when brush hits canvas.

KP: What is the most difficult thing about creating/doing your work?

DK: My own selfcriticism. Most of my canvases end up in the dumpster.

KP: What is the best thing about creating your work?

DK: When I’m done a piece, there is a relative sense of satisfaction, but it really doesn’t sink in until I

see the look on someone else’s face.

Even then, I can be left troubled. I’m quite self-conscious so it’s almost like a sense of relief when someone likes what I’ve done.

KP: What is the worst/best moment in your career as an artist?

DK: I’ve been doing portraits for many years and have often been asked to capture deceased loved ones including people, horses, dogs and cats.

These commissions have attributed to some of the best feelings I have experienced — and some of the worst.

KP: What are you working on now?

DK: I have been experimenting with a mix of realism and native art in my series called “Integrated,” a study of cultural harmonization.

KP: What are your future plans/goals?

DK: I am in a perpetual stage of learning so the larger picture is

something I’m not currently in touch with.

Naturally my goal is to inspire emotion in my works and, if I can continue to get satisfaction from that, maybe I’ve reached my goal?

KP: Do you have any advice or words of wisdom you would like to share for the next generation of artists?

DK: Creativity can easily be lost in this fast-paced world, so it’s important to remind our new generation beauty exists everywhere and, if you can duplicate it in a way, with any medium and still retain some of that beauty, well you’ve done it.

Holiday Party?

Catering takes the work out of holiday entertaining As enjoyable as the holiday season may be, quite a number of people admit to feeling pressured by the demands of shopping, wrapping and hosting events.

According to a poll from the American Psychological Association, up to 70 per cent of people feel stressed out by a lack of time and/ or money during the holidays.

Stress can take its toll during the holidays, but stress does not have to turn this festive time of year into something less enjoyable.

By removing some of the work involved in holiday planning and hosting, individuals can free up time and enjoy a more relaxing holiday season.

For example, hosts may spend several weeks organizing their holiday meals,

hours shopping for the ingredients and still more time preparing and cooking the food.

By enlisting the services of a professional caterer, hosts can still throw festive parties with great food while letting someone else deal with the stress of meal planning.

When you decide to have your holiday party catered, keep a few factors in mind as you consider your options.

Recommendations

If you have never used a local caterer before, seek recommendations from neighbors and friends.

There are many different types of caterers and some restaurants even provide catering services.

Recommendations can help hosts find the right caterer for the style of

gathering they’re hoping to host and help them avoid caterers who may not be the best people to work with.

Timing

The holiday season is a busy time of year for many businesses, caterers included. The sooner the contract is negotiated, the better.

Lock in the date and desired foods as soon as you decide to use a caterer.

The longer you wait, the more your options dwindle, as caterers’ schedules tend to book up quickly come the holiday season.

Have a second-favourite caterer at the ready in case the first one is booked solid.

Packages

Some caterers will only provide the food. Others

are full-service providers and will bring much of what’s needed to entertain.

This can include cutlery, plates, chafing dishes, napkins, linens, condiments and more.

Understand fully what each potential catering package includes. It may be worth spending a little more for a package that’s all-inclusive rather than saving money on a package that requires you to do a lot of work.

Something special

Holiday hosts can personalize catered affairs by including one signature dish or drink.

If drinks don’t seem like a good fit, consider creating a dipping sauce, glaze or another homemade item. This puts a personal touch on the meal with minimal effort.

O

ur exceptional holiday along the elegant Elbe River brims with discoveries.

One Viking Cruise excursion introduces Potsdam’s intriguing past, beginning with Cold War history at the legendary Glienicke Bridge.

“After World War Two, the Havel River divided East Germany from West Berlin. Only those with passes could cross this bridge into Potsdam,” recounts guide Hannah. “And until the late 1980’s, secret agents were routinely exchanged right here.”

In one highly publicized 1962 exchange, U2 pilot Gary Powers was traded for a Soviet spy. The bridge became commonly known as Bridge of Spies and, since such clandestine hand-overs ended, has starred in novels, movies and pop music to symbolize freedom.

Beyond, a tree-lined avenue leads us to Germany’s largest World Heritage Site.

We meander along

shaded pathways in themed gardens of exotic plants, marble sculptures and decorative columns. Sanssouci palace soon comes into view, crowning the terraced green hillside ahead.

“The king absolutely loved gardens,” explains Hannah.

“Affectionately called old Fritz, he experimented with plums, figs and grapes along these sunny terraces.”

To look more closely at Frederick’s favourite residence, we climb 132 stairs amid trellised grapevines and fruit trees.

The single-story, golden-yellow palace immediately conjures lighthearted fun.

Grape clusters, wine god Bacchus and his companions intermingle with white-trimmed windows. Below the central dome’s green roof, gilded letters spell out Sanssouci.

Cherubs perch near oval windows; vases dot rooflines.

“Completed in 1745, Frederick the Great designed this rococo summer palace,” Hannah reports.

“Preferring to speak French, he named it Sanssouci, meaning without cares. This retreat allowed him total relaxation with his clos-

Potsdam’s Glienicke Bridge a.k.a. Bridge of Spies.

est friends and beloved dogs, an escape from weighty demands at court . . . and women!”

Also within these extensive royal parklands, he built New Palace, a beautiful home just for his wife.

Near one goldemblazoned gazebo above the terraced vineyards, Frederick’s simple grave lies alongside his loyal greyhounds, accomplished only following German reunification.

His nephew successor had ignored Frederick’s wishes for burial at Sanssouci.

The fresh potatoes strewn upon his gravestone reference his introduction of this popular crop to Prussia and how much he loved eating them himself.

On the entrance hall ceiling, Goddess Flora drops flowers in the painted sky.

Venus, goddess of

nature and Apollo, god of the arts flank the reception hall doorway.

Gilded swirls trim ceilings, walls and painted panels.

Scenes of pastoral bliss by 18th-century French artists decorate the sumptuous dining room. In one painting, Frederick plays his flute with an orchestra.

Even Bach entertained here, accompanying the king on one of several harpsichords.

Ten principal rooms provided an intimate space for easy, pleasurable living.

Lavish guestrooms included old Fritz’s chamber, where one humble portrait shows him in ordinary martial attire, though widely considered a military genius. Next door, exotic birds and flower garlands adorn philosopher friend Voltaire’s room, whose works join other French literature and

Greek and Roman classics filling Frederick’s circular library.

Through a gap in the back plaza’s semicircular colonnade, we marvel at mock Roman ruins, an ornamental folly installed at great expense to remind guests of past history.

Continuing into Potsdam’s historic centre, Hannah continues, “Over 300 years ago, Prussian kings welcomed Dutch and French Huguenots immigrants. They helped transform what had been a garrison outpost into a gracious royal city, home to the Hohenzollern dynasty and sometimes compared to Versailles.”

From St. Peter and St. Paul Church, we head into old town for lunch.

Boutiques, cafes and street musicians line Brandenburger Strasse.

smuggling or soldiers deserting, three gates remain.

In the distance, Nauener Gate borders the Dutch neighbourhood’s picturesque courtyards, offbeat bars and avant-garde galleries. Our stroll ends at Brandenburg Gate, closely resembling Berlin’s ionic monument.

This smaller arch celebrated Frederick’s Seven Years War victory. And named after former royal hunting grounds, Hunter’s Gate lies beyond, oldest of the three.

Our final stop reveals Cecilienhof, the last palace built by German royals. Finished in 1917, this Tudor-style countryhouse was built for Crown Prince William and wife Cecilie.

Multiple courtyards disguise its surprising 176 rooms. Today, flowers form a red star in the

main courtyard.

For 25 years, this gracious, three-storied home served as the Soviet’s East German headquarters.

When the Second World War ended, the victorious allies held the 1945 Potsdam Conference at Cecillienhof.

Over two weeks, Churchill, Truman and Stalin met here in comfort, ultimately deciding how to partition postwar Germany.

The conference room and work areas used during these historic negotiations are open to the public.

Our day ends with dinner aboard the riverboat Astrild, home base for further enlightening adventures.
