With no performing-arts centre to fill it, the former Kamloops Daily News property downtown becomes one big question mark for the City of Kamloops, which purchased the lot at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue in the spring of 2014. Almost 54 per cent of residents who took part in Saturday’s referendum voted against allowing the city to borrow up to $49 million toward the cost of a $91-million arts centre and parkade complex on the site — and Mayor Peter Milobar told media there is “no Plan B” for the space beyond an existing 200-stall parking lot. When the city purchased the land from Glacier Media, it said it would use the lot to add additional off-street parking downtown. The underground parkade included in the artscentre plan would have provided 350 stalls. Milobar said the city would still need to borrow for some other kind of parking project on the lot, which would also

require residents’ approval — either through referendum or the more commonly used counter-petition process. But, it could be some time before a new concept is put to Kamloopsians. “On one hand, you have everyone in downtown Kamloops saying how desperate the parking situation is,” Milobar said. “On the other hand, every time we give them a parking option, they reject it. “So, I think we have to take a step back and say, ‘OK, what other priorities are we focusing on as a city?’ And we’ll work on some of that for the next while.” Brendan Shaw, chairman of the Yes Committee, said his group will meet to “re-evaluate what happened and try to move forward from there.” While he believes there is an appetite for some sort of arts centre, Shaw is uncertain whether those involved on his committee will be involved in spearheading a new plan. PAC Not Yet spokeswoman Nelly Dever, whose campaign called for a different funding model and design for the proposed centre, said she, too,

is stepping back from the artscentre conversation. Dever’s group closed its Facebook page yesterday and considers itself disbanded. “At the end of the day, we hope no one has seen this as a failure, but as an option to move forward and build stronger ties with all of the stakeholders in the community,” Dever said. “It’s up to city hall what

Breaking down the votes across the city Page A5

they’re going to do next on the issue, but there’s lots of support out there so, hopefully, this is used more as a momentum than as a stopping point.” If the city doesn’t move ahead with a revised arts plan, Dever said she hopes it partners with a residential developer to build a combination of parking and housing on the former Daily News property.

Casino plans amphitheatre ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Cascades Casino has taken its first step toward building an amphitheatre on its grounds, but how many seats it will contain remains a mystery. City of Kamloops planning and development manager Rod Martin said Gateway Casinos, Cascades’ parent company, has submitted a development-permit application for an amphitheatre behind the building at Versatile and Hugh Allan drives. The application doesn’t include a number of seats. “That’s one of the key things we need to know,” Martin said. The capacity of the open-air theatre had been a hot topic of discussion in the lead-up to Saturday’s performing-arts centre referendum.

When Gateway first applied to build its casino in the former Rona building, the amphitheatre was intended to hold 500. PAC Not Yet spokeswoman Nelly Dever told media her conversations with staff indicated the theatre could seat up to 1,200, while Gateway director of public relations Tanya Gabara told KTW the design could be expanded to include between 750 and 1,000 people. Reached by KTW on Friday, Gabara would not comment on the number of seats now under consideration. “We’re not putting out any of the details until we get through the permitting process,” she said. Martin said the city has other questions and concerns about the theatre which the casino will have to work through, in particular

whether Cascades’ parking lot can handle the additional demand. “They have a few extra parking stalls right now, but this would not only eliminate those, it would create a much larger demand at the same time,” he said. “Without knowing the number of people or capacity they’re proposing, we can’t even really calculate how much parking would be needed for the whole site.” Martin said there is a suggestion the casino may use some of Costco’s parking during off-hours, but it is not part of the application. Other issues the city wants to investigate include the amount of noise and light leaving the site and the effect the theatre will have on traffic if large numbers of people leave Cascades at the same time once an event ends.

Ruff day for thief

A Kamloops police dog wrangled a suspected thief following a bungled attempt to steal a chainsaw in Savona on Sunday. Police were called to the area after a truck owner saw a man taking a chainsaw from the back of his vehicle, according to RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush. “The suspect was observed entering another vehicle nearby, while the complainant retrieved his chainsaw from the suspect’s open trunk,” she said. Bush said the thief then took off in his vehicle, eventually crashing off Highway 1. He ran from the crash scene and was eventually tracked down by the police dog, she said. A 29-year-old Merritt man is expected to face multiple charges.

Trades faculty at Thompson Rivers University have issued a vote of non-confidence in their dean, Lindsay Langill. There were 30 eligible voters. Twentyfour cast ballots, of which 20 voted for the non-confidence motion. Although the vote occurred early in October, university administrators did not meet with faculty representatives to discuss their decision until last Friday. Tom Friedman, president of the TRU Faculty Association (TRUFA), said that delay only fuelled dissatisfaction in trades instructors. He said representatives of the trades faculty met with the university’s new provost, Christine Bovis-Cnossen, along with Denis Powers, the university’s associate vice-president, human resources and planning, and Donna Petri, the interim associate vice-president academic.

Following a recent decision by the B.C. Labour Relations Board (LRB) denying a union appeal, the City of Kamloops and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) are expected to square off for a final time over the fate of a fired worker. The LRB rendered a decision on Oct. 30 declining to hear an appeal by CUPE Local 900, stating “the application does not disclose a good, arguable case of reviewable error.” The latest decision sets the stage for what is expected to be a final report by an arbitrator into the firing of parks worker Joe Cupello. Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 900 grieved the firing of Cupello, who had a previous record of four instances of misconduct on the job. In the original decision, the LRB arbitrator agreed with the city that Cupello wrongly ticked off a duty sheet he was supposed to complete confirming he cleaned up at a number of parks in March last year — duties he did not perform.

The arbitrator also called his claim it was a mistake a “somewhat dishonest attempt to avoid accountability.” Despite those failings, however, the arbitrator ruled the city erred in its procedures with the union and ordered Cupello reinstated with back pay. He was to serve a 30-day suspension without pay. That reinstatement order was put into question by a subsequent LRB decision that ruled the arbitrator must allow the city to argue its procedural error made in the firing. Union lawyer Charles Gordon said the two sides will argue once again in front of the arbitrator — who could confirm his original decision that Cupello be put back on the payroll or assess a different penalty. “We say he came to — CITY OF KAMLOOPS CAO DAVID TRAWIN the correct decision the first time around . . . The arbitrator will decide whether the employer’s [city] argument changes his original decision.” The city’s chief administrative officer, David Trawin, said the municipality will argue its errors in procedure should not result in Cupello’s reinstatement. A final decision is expected before the end of the year.

We say he came to the correct “decision the first time around.

The arbitrator will decide whether the employer’s argument changes his original decision.

PAC referendum: Strongest No vote came from Westsyde ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Not a single North Shore polling place returned a Yes vote in Saturday’s performing-arts centre referendum, according to a breakdown of ballots released by the City of Kamloops. But, the results show South Shore neighbourhoods farther away from the downtown core were either split on the project or opposed to the $91-million project planned for Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue. Polls in Dufferin, Barnhartvale and Dallas all swung No, with 56 per cent of voters against in Dufferin, 65 per cent opposed in Barnhartvale and 58 per cent rejecting the plan in Dallas. Valleyview voters were almost evenly split, with 51 per cent Yes to 49 per cent No, and only 26 votes separating the two sides. Voters in Aberdeen were somewhat more in favour of the project, with 52 per cent casting Yes votes.

The strongest No vote on general voting day came from a poll at Arthur Stevenson elementary in Westsyde, where 69 per cent of voters were against the arts centre. With 1,802 voters, it was one of the two busiest polls on referendum day. NorKam secondary in North Kamloops had 1,801 voters — 65 per cent of whom voted No. Beattie School of the Arts on McGill Road in Sahali had, perhaps unsurprisingly, one of the highest percentage of Yes supporters, at 69 per cent. Heritage House downtown recorded a 69 per cent Yes vote. However, turnout at both polling stations was well below the numbers at their No side counterparts, with 908 voters visiting Beattie and 693 casting ballots at Heritage House.

ADVICE & INFORMATION

I have now come to terms with my parents not managing in their home. What are some options? A move to a more supportive environment or are your parents adamant about staying in their home? If staying in their home is the choice there are several items to be addressed:

NORM AND NORA: Reflections on love amid war

1. Who will be responsible for managing the household operations such as inside and outside maintenance? 2. Who will be responsible for managing in-home caregivers? 3. Who will be available to step in when caregivers are not available at the last minute? 4. Is there a long term care insurance policy in place and what are the benets? 5. Who will be responsible for transportation/ nutrition/socialization needs? 6. Who will be responsible for all nancial matters? While staying at home sounds appealing it can be overwhelming considering all that is needed to support this option. Something often overlooked is the possibility of isolation. There are programs available to assist with staying at home and resources available through BC Seniors websites. If however you believe a more supportive environment is the best solution follow my column next week where I will talk about these options.

Nora Morrison was only 20 went she left for England in 1942 as part of the first group of Canadian women sent overseas during the Second World War. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

ora stood by the runway, waiting in the darkness. There was nothing to see — the wartime blackout that covered England forbade so much as lighting a cigarette after nightfall. At 3 a.m., the darkness was absolute. Still, she waited. About five hours earlier, 14 planes had flown out of the Royal Air Force air station in Topcliffe, North Yorkshire, after an interview with some of the air force’s top brass meant to uncover why so few planes were returning home from their missions. Among those flying was Norman Morrison, a former Winnipeg Blue Bomber, a flight lieutenant with the Royal Canadian Air Force and the man Nora was due to marry in June. It was 3 a.m. The planes were due back — and the sky was empty. *** Nora had come to England as fast as she could. “Girls weren’t allowed in the service up to ’42, and then you had to be 21 or have your parents’ permission,” she recalled from her Kamloops home, 70 years after the Second World War ended. “Well, I wasn’t 21 but my dad signed for me.” At 20, she shipped out, part of the first group of Canadian women sent overseas.

Already trained as a mechanic by a military auxiliary in her hometown of Victoria, Nora spent her war years serving as a transport driver for RCAF Squadron 425, taking the Air Force’s high-ranking officers from base to base, pumping her own gas and keeping her vehicle in shape at a time when many women couldn’t go to the pub without a chaperone. But, first she had to get to England. Knowing the women were headed over — “they marched us down with a band. The Germans couldn’t help but know where we were,” she said — the Nazi forces tried to torpedo their ship. They missed, but another ship in the convoy wasn’t so lucky and the German propaganda machine claimed victory. Without the luxury of modern communications, it was six weeks before anyone at home knew Nora was still alive. War was many things to the Canadian volunteers: adventure, excitement, an experience you couldn’t have at home in Canada. But, reality set in fast. On her first trip as driver, Nora took a squadron out to their planes. When she came back to pick them up, one of her passengers was seriously wounded. His arm had been blown off in combat. “That was it,” she said. “Right there, I grew up.” *** “Hey, there’s Norm,” Lockie said, pointing across the room. It was Christmas Eve, about a year into Nora’s

— NORA MORRISON REFLECTS ON HUSBAND NORMAN, WHO DIED LAST YEAR

service, and she and some friends from her air station had stopped in a pub the Canadian forces had claimed as their own before heading off to a dance hall for the night. Lockie, who was dating one of Nora’s girlfriends, waved the new man over and made the introductions. “We talked for, oh, five or 10 minutes, and then Norm turns to Lockie and he says, ‘What are you doing tonight?’” Nora said. “We’re going to the dance,” Lockie replied. Norm turned to Nora. “‘Oh,’ he says to me. ‘Would you like to go?’ And I said, ‘Oh, I’m going with so-and-so.’ And he said, ‘You were.’ “That’s right, he says, ‘You were’ and he took my hand and we’re gone.” Three months later, they were engaged. *** Dating in the Air Force had a few extra complications. For one, Norm was stationed 80 miles away. “Any trip that went to his station, I got automatically. It was a done deal,” Nora said. “But, I would only see him for about 10 minutes at a time to say, ‘Hi, what you doing?’” Then, to complicate matters further, there was the rank issue. Norm was a commissioned officer, Nora said, while she was “a common little ACW.”

While the RCAF service police were willing to look the other way when it came to dating between such disparate ranks, their British counterparts were sticklers for the rules. To avoid getting in trouble, they would go out in civilian dress — also against the rules. To call between bases, they’d use a code, asking whoever picked up on the other end, “Is Mike there?” And, there was the war itself, where loss of life from missions and air raids was an everyday occurrence. Most pilots in the RCAF were sent home if they made it to 30 successful missions. By the end of the war, Norm flew 42. “There was a lot of scary moments,” Nora said. “Every time you said goodbye to them, you didn’t know if it was goodbye.” *** Fourteen planes had flown out of the Topcliffe station. Finally, long after they were due to arrive home, those waiting at the runway heard one had made it back to the shores of England, but was too damaged to fly farther. No word yet on the other 13 planes. “So, we waited and waited and then we got word there was one coming back, pretty badly shot up, had no communication or anything,” Nora

said. “We had to wait ‘till he landed.” When the plan finally appeared, riddled with bullet holes, she recognized the aircraft. All told, there were 113 new holes in Norm’s plane. “He had one right through his hat, he had one right through his shoulder — not one of the guys in the aircraft was touched, but they all had bullet holes in their uniforms,” she said. “The one right through his hat scared the heck out of me.” Of all the close calls during the war, Nora remembers it as being the worst. *** Ten days after D-Day, Nora and Norman were married. They arrived back in Canada separately. In Norm’s case, the trip home was supposed to be short, a quick embarkation leave before departing for the Asian front. The U.S. bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki kept him home for good. The pair moved into a garage in Abbotsford, onto military bases when Norm re-joined the Air Force postwar and to Kamloops years later, when he took a job with Indian Affairs. They had four boys. They were together for 73 years. “They were just as much

in love the last month was the first month,” said Larry, the third-youngest of the Morrison children. Norm passed away a little over a year ago at 97. Nora, 94, still refers to him as “my sweetheart.” “He was just great,” she said. “We were married 73 years and he was just great.” *** Nora doesn’t get to Remembrance Day ceremonies easily any more. She and Norm went every year without fail, until mobility became an issue for both of them, at which point they turned to watching the event on TV. It’s a hard time of year for her. It’s hard because of Norm, but also because of the brother she lost in 1944, another Air Force pilot — an early volunteer who paid his way to England to join the RAF — who was shot out of the sky. But, it’s also a time of year she worries could be forgotten as fewer and fewer veterans of the Second World War remain. “I think it should be more pushed in schools. I really don’t think it’s pushed hard enough in schools,” she said. “The kids have got to remember. “I just hope it never happens again, but I don’t think the kids should forget.”

IS THERE ANYONE WITH A PLAN B?

he question was on the lips of many the moment Kamloops This Week reported the results of the performing-arts centre (PAC) referendum on Saturday night: What’s next? The answer, it appears, is “nothing.” As Mayor Peter Milobar confirmed to media at city hall after ballot counts showed voters had rejected the proposed $91-million PAC and parkade (by voting No to allowing the city to borrow up to $49 million toward the cost), there is no Plan B. There will be, apparently, an empty building at the corner of Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue, a structure that once housed The Bay and the Kamloops Daily News and that is today housing a bad boiler and some asbestos. There will also be a parking lot on the south side, from which the city will collect revenue from users. But, there will not rise a performing-arts centre that the city, in buying the land last year, felt would be a firm step in improving the downtown area while also addressing the need for more parking. Perhaps the owners of nearby Hotel 540 will use the No vote to create a public-private partnershop with the city (or a private partnership with others) to rescue the idea. After all, Hotel 540 was one of three parties vying to be chosen as the location for a PAC. For those who voted Yes, Saturday’s result is opportunity lost. For those who voted No, it was confirmation of their argument that the proposal was too expensive for Kamloops. Perhaps the city should have had a Plan B. Perhaps city council should have promoted its arts-centre vision, but attached it to a Plan B proposal in the event of a No vote to give all voters — Yes and No — a firm idea of the consequences of their votes. Instead, we have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to arrive at where we were 18 months ago, when the city purchased that land with such grandiose plans.

Are we up for challenge?

he next big challenge for our economy is already here as baby boomers are moving into retirement across Canada. This year, for the first time, Canada has more people over the age of 65 than people under the age of 15. A new Venture Kamloops labour report details the many positions that will be needed in the Thompson region — many in trades and technology, but others in offices and manufacturing. Some feel the economy will experience a major change through having the tsunami of seniors with a shrinking pool of working taxpayers. What will this mean for us? Financial challenges we will face are already on the ground as government grapples with our greying health-care needs and the fact people are living longer. At an insurance conference I attended on behalf of the Municipal Insurance Association of B.C., I heard some startling information. In his keynote address, an actuary stated insurance companies are now predicting a person who is 50 years old today can reasonably expect to live until the age of 100. What does that mean realistically for pension calculations, retirement funding and how long people should expect to work to fund a decent retirement? All past federal and provincial government planning was predicated on the old rule of thumb

MARG SPINA

View From

CITY HALL that men would live 70 years and women would live 75 years. So, the new projected average life expectancies add 25 years to the mix and, quite possibly, substantially different planning for transportation, housing and medical needs, not to mention personal living expenses. It also means government will have to make some extremely tough decisions down the road as it looks critically at what it can afford for services based on the lower number of taxpayers as those ages 50 to 69 (the boomers) enter retirement. What we do know for sure is seniors have rising health-care needs, which push up healthcare costs, but there will be much less money in the tax pool to pay the bills. One thing that might change is more seniors choosing to retire later in life, with flexible work-support offerings making a difference. They could choose a reduced work week or core hours to maximize efficiency during lunch and breaks.

Imagine mentorships here. Most people I have asked haven’t considered living to 100 as a serious proposition. You can take that to mean their retirement savings won’t be enough to keep up with another 25 years of retirement living costs in some cases. Some find retirement not what they expected and miss the workplace. I think seniors working past 60 or 70 years of age would have a huge benefit to the economy, both in tax contributions and the core knowledge and skills they offer. I know my father really didn’t want to retire at 65. He is now 93, still living independently with my mom, 94, so he could have easily worked part-time for a few more years. No doubt my mother would have liked that, too. Predictions are that within a few short years, retirees in Canada will jump from 250,000 to about 400,000 a year. Let’s not forget that First Nations youth are the fastestrowing employment resource in B.C. Have we factored this in? We need to look at all options for a rich and vibrant economy. Could this be an opportunity?

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR NO VOTE IT’S EASY TO SPEND OTHERS’ CASH WILL COST US MONEY Editor: Congratulations to the No voters in Saturday’s performing-arts centre referendum. You may think you have saved the city a lot of money. In fact, you have just achieved the opposite. The parkade will be built in any case as it is sorely needed by downtown businesses for their staff. As we all know, a vibrant business community downtown pays taxes, which is always a good thing. The arts centre will in time be built as well, as it is needed — opinion to the contrary notwithstanding. At that time, it will cost more as interest rates will in all likelyhood be higher, federal and provincial grants will likely not be available as the project was rejected once and construction costs will likely also be steeper. As well, the city will have lost the opportunity to combine two projects — the parkade and performing-arts centre — resulting in economies of scale being lost. For those who doubt the foregoing, try to remember that what is now Sandman Centre failed twice and was only passed the third time, with an increase in cost each time. Again, congratulations to the No crowd —you have cost all of us in Kamloops a lot to money. Peter Allik-Petersenn Kamloops

Editor: A day before Saturday’s performing-arts centre (PAC) referendum, KTW editor Christopher Foulds Foulds wrote in his column: “On the PAC vote, I fear we will embrace a dour dream of Sovietera drabness.” Just like the council members who were pushing that thing, Foulds seems to find it very easy to spend other people’s money. We elected those people to manage the city. We expected them to do it responsibly and they failed when they pushed for the PAC. What they called their “vision” turned out to be our nightmare — their lack of understanding of priorities when it comes to using our tax money. The health-care system is failing. I can’t even find a family doctor and I’m supposed to suck it up

while the money goes to frivolities? Some sore loser even posted online at kamloopsthisweek.com that the result of the vote was a win for the Philistines. Really? So, we are all low-intellect cavemen who can’t appreciate beauty? I resent his comments as every day I am awed by the pictures I find online showing me the wonders of the universe. I can admire a Rembrandt, a Michaelangelo or a Da Vinci. I am moved by Tartini’s Cello Concerto or Barber’s Adagio for Strings. I can spend hours sitting on the cliffs above the Dewdrop Range or on Savona Mountain and taking in all the beauty. Philistine indeed! I must admit modern art mostly leaves me cold. One good example sits

in the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. It is called Voices of Fire. When it was acquired in 1989 at a cost of $1.8 million, the artist, Barnett Newman, must have been giggling in his grave to see people so gullible as to pay that amount for three stripes an uneducated barn painter could have done in a few minutes. Even today, some people with artistic pretentions want us to believe the item is now worth in excess of $40 million. Now that we voted No, is the sky falling? I hardly think so. Money should be spent on the health system and on recruiting more doctors. Remember — sick or dead people don’t visit art centres. C.B. Villeneuve Kamloops

THERE IS NO PLAN B, SO LIFE GOES ON Editor: Admittedly, the performing-arts centre referendum results were closer than I thought would happen. As Stephen Harper said on his way out of office, democracy is never wrong. I’ll bet there’s a good many No voters breathing a huge sigh of relief. I guess that’s the thrill of victory.

In the end, the sun will rise in the east and set in the west. Just as routinely, life will go on in our little piece of the pie called Kamloops. As Mayor Peter Milobar has already stated, let’s move forward. There is no Plan B. Les Evens Kamloops

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: STORY: A FINAL SHOWDOWN LOOMS OVER FIRED CITY OF KAMLOOPS WORKER:

“ If you don’t do your job, you should be fired. There should be no more than that. You don’t get to challenge it and you don’t get to argue about it. “You claimed to do a job that you didn’t and got paid for it. The only one in the wrong here was Joe Cupello and to cry foul when he got fired is laughable.” — posted by Twelfthnight

RE: STORY: CITY RECEIVES ABOUT 500 SUBMISSIONS ON HOW IT SHOULD REVIEW MINE APPLICATION:

“KGHM, an archaic law from the mid-1800s and a system of poor governance created this mess. “This proposal should not ever have seen the light of day.” — posted by Devlin

APPRECIATED THE ROBUST DEBATE IN KTW Editor: Thank you for all the coverage you afforded the debate for and against the performing-arts centre. I especially appreciate the dis-

cussion facilitated by the many who contributed online. While it must have been a great deal of work to moderate so many, by so doing you created a vital and

thorough exchange of opinion. That is a very large contribution to civic life and it is much appreciated. Frank Dwyer, Kamloops

And, just like winter, we’re back! The KTW Christmas Cheer Fund begins today and is supporting five local charities — Y Women’s Emergency Shelter, New Life Mission, Family Tree Family Centre, Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre (KSACC) and Sensational Soups. A new committee was struck this year to choose organizations the fund will support in this campaign and in the 2016 instalment. That decision was made to provide the agencies with a bit of stable funding each can anticipate. The women’s shelter, long a regular recipient of Christmas Cheer money, was established as the fund’s legacy charity, one that will always benefit from the funds collected. KTW will highlight each charity in the coming weeks as the campaign continues so readers and donors can see how their money is being used to make our community a great place in which to live. Donations can be made at

the KTW office, 1365B Dalhousie Dr., or online through the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund link with our seasonal penguin smiling at you. It can be found online at kamloopsthisweek.com. Those same penguins — along with a thermometer recording total donations — will be waiting to greet all who walk into the KTW office from now until the campaign ends on Dec. 24. Through a partnership with the United Way ThompsonNicola-Cariboo, tax receipts will be issued immediately online — an email address is required to use that portal — for donations of $10 or more.

Cash and cheque donations collected at the KTW office will see receipts issued in January. Donations can also be made at the United Way office, 177 Victoria St. Cheques can also be mailed to KTW, 1365B Dalhousie Dr., Kamloops, V2C 5P6. Last year, the first time KTW ran the campaign — which raised about $50,000 — there were some issues with the online portal. Those have been addressed and the system is easier to follow. As always, donors will be thanked in our editions of Kamloops This Week as we update you, our readers, on the progress of the fund.

ollin Shirley wasn’t sure what all the racket was about. “Sunday morning, my billet was running around the house and she seemed excited, so I thought I was in trouble,” the Kamloops Blazers’ forward said, referring to billet mom Val Davidson. “But, Don had called the household. It was a pretty exciting call.” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay had rung to let Shirley know he and teammate Deven Sideroff were late additions to Team WHL for the CHL Canada-Russia Series, which comes to Kamloops tonight. They will toil alongside a pair of Tournament Capital products who also cracked the roster — defenceman Joe Hicketts of the Victoria Royals and forward Ryan Gropp of the Seattle Thunderbirds. The under-20 six-game showcase sees teams of Canadian Hockey League all-stars compete against junior Russian select players. Games 1 and 2 feature Team WHL versus Russia, with the first instalment decided last night in Kelowna after KTW’s press deadline and the second getting underway at 7 p.m. tonight at Sandman Centre. Two spots on the Dub’s roster became available when Dillon Dube of the Kelowna Rockets and John Quenneville of the Brandon Wheat Kings, both forwards, bowed out due to injury.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Collin Shirley of the Kamloops Blazers squeezed his way onto Team WHL for the CHL Canada-Russia Series. Game 2 versus the Russians will be played tonight in Kamloops. Game time is 7 p.m. at Sandman Centre.

“I didn’t think a lot about it and Toledo [Kamloops trainer Colin Robinson] kept on reminding me that I was on the radar if anybody got hurt,” said Sideroff, who contracted mononucleosis and missed the first nine games of the WHL season. “I kept it in the back of my mind. It’s really exciting because it’s a big showcase and a lot of

people will be watching, so you want to play really good.” Team WHL is looking to avenge a pair of 3-2 losses in 2014. The Russians went on to win the series 11-7 on points and have won three of the last five years. The showdown shifts east for games 3 and 4, with the best of the Ontario Hockey League playing the Russians in Owen Sound on

Nov. 12 and in Windsor on Nov. 16. Games 5 and 6 will pit Team Quebec Major Junior Hockey League against the Russians in Rouyn-Noranda, Que., on Nov. 17 and in Halifax on Nov. 19. When KTW spoke with Sideroff and Shirley, they had just returned from yesterday’s morning skate, at which they were paired together on a line with the WHL’s scoring leader, Brayden Point. The Moose Jaw Warriors’ forward highlights a group that includes first-round NHL Draft picks Hayden Fleury, a defenceman with the Red Deer Rebels, Matthew Barzal, a centre with the T-Birds, and Rebels’ forward Conner Bleackley. On the Russian side, head coach Valeri Bragin will have some impressive tools at his disposal, including defenceman Ivan Provorov, the Philadelphia Flyers’ seventh overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft, and Evgeny Svechnikov, a left-winger who went 19th overall to the Detroit Red Wings earlier this year. Shirley is second in Blazers’ scoring with 10 goals and 16 points in 16 games, while Sideroff has one goal and five points in seven games since returning from illness. Team WHL bench boss Dave Lowry, who will be Team Canada’s head coach at the 2016 IIHF world junior championship in Finland, will have a great chance to assess some of the country’s top young talent. Sideroff, picked by the Anaheim Ducks in Round 3 of the 2015 NHL Draft, will be looking to impress. “You just want to show yourself,” the Summerland product said. “It’s about making a good impression in whatever position I’m put in, to show what I’ve got.” Lowry was an assistant coach on the Canadian team that downed Russia 5-4 to win the

world juniors in Toronto on Jan. 5. Hicketts, who plays under Lowry with the Victoria Royals, was also a member of the triumphant Canadian squad. Shirley, in his last year of eligibility for the world juniors, won’t be favoured to make Team Canada, so the 19-year-old from Saskatoon will be looking to steal a few headlines on the big stage against the Russians. “You always hope, but it was a shock for me,” Shirley said of cracking Team WHL. “I didn’t really hear anything about it. “It’s a great opportunity for Deven and I.” Sideroff is right there with him. “It’s a big rivalry,” he said. “The coaches were saying, ‘We don’t like these guys, so be ready to come out and go to war.”

Series notes

Kamloops has twice hosted games in the CHL Canada-Russia Series — in 2006 (then the ADT Canada-Russia Challenge), when the WHL earned an 8-1 win and in 2010 (then the Subway Super Series), when Russia emerged with a 7-6 shootout victory. Four Kamloops Blazers have donned the WHL’s colours. Austin Madaisky and Chase Schaber played in the 2010 game. Brock Nixon and Keaton Ellerby took to the ice in 2006. Few seats remained for tonight’s game as of KTW’s press deadline yesterday.

Blazers rolling

The Blazers claimed their fifth consecutive win, knocking off the Prince George Cougars 5-2 at Sandman Centre on Saturday. For a game recap, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com. Kamloops started the season with six straight losses, but has clawed back to 8-8 heading into a game against the Giants in Vancouver on Friday.

Sabres to enter provincials No. 1 in Okanagan MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Lubo Magdolen led from the back for the Sa-Hali Sabres at the AA boys’ Okanagan high school soccer championship in Penticton on the weekend. The goalkeeper kept a clean sheet and the Sabres won the regional title with a 2-0 victory over the Okanagan Mission Huskies of Kelowna in the championship game on Saturday. Magdolen faced two spot kicks in the final — one he stopped and the other hit the crossbar — and played the hero in a semifinal matchup against the Valleyview Vikings that was decided in penalty kicks. The Sabres won 3-2 in the

shootout after neither team registered a goal in regulation or extratime. “I have a very talented goalie, so we were pretty lucky in that case,” said Mary Bartucci, longtime head coach of the boys’ soccer program at Sa-Hali. In the final, Dima Pokhylov

notched both goals for the Sabres, who will enter the 2015 Boys AA Soccer Provincial Championship as the No. 1 Okanagan seed. The provincials will run from Nov. 23 to Nov. 25 in Burnaby. The Huskies are the No. 2 Okanagan seed. “They were big goals for him,”

Bartucci said of Pokhylov, who tallied once in each half. “He’s a basketball player and this is his first year playing soccer for me.” Sa-Hali won silver at the 2014 B.C. championship, but lost 12 players to graduation. “They were a talented group because they had been coached by [former TRU WolfPack men’s soccer bench boss] Sean Wallace as kids,” Bartucci said. “But, these Grade 12s are underrated. They were always in the shadows of the older guys and I don’t know that they were truly appreciated. “They’re shining now.” Sa-Hali and Valleyview met four times this season. “The first game we tied 1-1,

but everybody would agree they deserved that game,” Bartucci said. “The next two games we won and the second was the city final.” Westsyde secondary also qualified for regionals and made it into the playoffs, but were beaten by the Huskies in a semifinal tilt. Bartucci led the Sabres to provincial gold in 2010, when Felipe Andrade scored both goals in a 2-1 victory over Surrey Christian in the championship game. That team might have been more talented than this year’s crop, but the 2015 Sabres are not to be overlooked. “This is a grittier team than the one that won in 2010,” Bartucci said. “This team could surprise a lot of people at provincials.”

MOSES SEES RED IN WIN OVER HUBER ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Samuel Moses seems to have Ken Huber’s number. Huber, a Kamloops boxer who fights out of the Kamloops Boxing Academy, lost by decision in Langley on Friday night, fighting Vancouver’s Moses for the second time in the span of a month. The fighters went toe to toe in Richmond in October, battling for a B.C. Silver Gloves title. Huber lost that match — a four-round bout — by decision, too. Friday’s fight was for the B.C. Golden Gloves title and was a rematch of sorts for the two fighters. “It was a tough fight,” Huber said. “I had him in the first round. I could have stopped him, but he’s resilient. He’s tough. He trained his ass off. He beat me up.” Huber’s record now stands at 28-7. The Kamloops fighter said Friday’s four-round fight was a back-andforth affair as the two boxers traded power punches in the ring. He had Moses against the ropes and hurt at one point, but couldn’t finish the fight. Moses seemed to get stronger as the rounds went on and eventually took control. The Vancouver fighter is the No. 1 contender in both divisions for which Huber holds titles — heavyweight and cruiserweight.

Ken Huber of Kamloops lost a decision to Samuel Moses of Vancouver in a fight for the B.C. Golden Gloves title in Langley on Friday.

“I’m not completely disappointed. I trained hard and I gave it my all and he rocked it,” Huber said. “I’m 32. I’ve been doing this 10 years. He’s 22 and he’s full of piss and vinegar.” Huber is uncertain what the future holds. He said making a move to an established coach might be necessary if he’s to continue his progression in the sport, which might mean a move to the Lower Mainland. But, the Kamloops fighter said he isn’t going to make any rash decisions less than 24 hours after an emotional loss. “It’s still pretty fresh, I don’t even want to answer that question right now,” Huber said when asked about his future. “That decision isn’t going to be made in the next day or so just because I’m a train wreck.”

Flint owner fires coaches, reinstates them after players’walkout THE CANADIAN PRESS

FLINT, Mich. — The owner of the Flint Firebirds junior hockey team apologized yesterday for firing his coaching staff over the weekend, saying he made an “irresponsible mistake’’ and has reinstated the men to their jobs. According to multiple reports, Rolf Nilsen fired head coach John Gruden and assistants Dave Karpa and Petr Jonak because his son — defenceman Hakon Nilsen — was not receiving enough playing time. As a show of solidarity, each player — including the owner’s son — handed in his jersey and quit, according to reports. “Today the team’s senior leadership met with the players to apologize and have a very frank discussion about next steps we as team will take to remedy the situation,’’ Nilsen said. “Ontario Hockey League commissioner David Branch is in Flint this afternoon meeting with all parties involved. We are fully co-operating with this investigation and will

look to the findings to help us to continue to grow as a team.’’ After the Firebirds defeated the reigning Memorial Cup champion Oshawa Generals 4-3 on Sunday, the team was told about the dismissals. “Last night, after our emotional overtime game against the Oshawa Generals, I made a decision with regards to our coaching staff, which was an irresponsible mistake,’’ Nilsen said in the statement. The Firebirds are playing their first season in Flint after moving from nearby Plymouth, Mich.

Messages left with frontoffice staff members and team officials were not immediately returned yesterday. Branch was not available for comment, according to a league spokesman. Flint improved to 7-9-0-1 after its victory on Sunday. The Firebirds have 15 points on the season and are in ninth place in the 10-team Western Conference. Nilsen purchased the club from Peter Karmanos Jr., and the OHL’s board of governors approved the sale and relocation of the team last February.

Kamloops fire crew sets new world record Kamloops Fire Team New Gold, consisting of Kamloops Fire Rescue members Graham Mackenzie, Mike Brown, Don Clarke, Mark Brise, Shawn Davidson, Josh Booy and Bryce McMillan, won gold in the team event at the Firefighter Combat Challenge, held

from Oct. 18 to Oct. 25 in Montgomery, Ala. The Kamloops crew edged Team Poland and Team Lithuania, setting a new world record in the process with a time of four minutes and seven seconds. Mackenzie finished second

overall in the open male division, while Brown was first overall and Clarke was second in the over-40 male category. Kamloops Fire Team New Gold won the world championship in 2011 and 2012. Read more about the team later this week in KTW.

1939 – 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce Angeline’s (Dolly) passing on November 4, 2015 after a long fight with lung cancer. Survived by her loving husband Jim of 59 years, her children Debra (Renny) Apps, Les Rhindress and Sherry (Frank) Arko as well as grandchildren Natasha, Steven, Christopher, Melissa and James and greatgrandchildren Oren, Amelia, Nolan and Owen. Grandma was born in Faust, Alberta. She moved to BC in the 50’s and met Grandpa while they both were working in Barriere. She worked in a café where Grandpa would take his lunch. She said he was so handsome and would get distracted and only bring him hot water when he ordered tea. They were married in 1956. They spent five years in Kamloops and welcomed three children into the world before adventuring to Blue River and owning/operating Midway Service Station and Garage. They moved back to Kamloops in 1969. Grandma had various jobs after raising her children, when she retired in 1999 she had been working a number of years managing the CP bunk house. Grandma and Grandpa loved to go dancing. She enjoyed all kinds of arts and crafts, everyone was always given a handmade tree ornament each Christmas. She crocheted many beautiful dollies and tablecloths over the years. She loved reading and was always looking for books she had not yet read. She also enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting, bowling and baking. She spent many years with all her friends going to Tops and their various retreats and functions. Grandma spent her last days with a beautiful view of Kamloops while at the Hospice. At Angeline’s request no formal ceremony will take place. Should friends desire, donations to the Hospice would be appreciated.

JOSHUA RUBEN ROUSSELLE January 30, 1995 - November 6, 2015

Ruben LIVED his life with determination and decisive zest right to his last breath. Having CF (cystic fibrosis) presented a lot of challenges, but they were really no match for Ruben when it came to enjoying and sharing his effervescent smile, laughter, and good things life has to offer. Ruben lived, breathed and shared love and happiness with everyone he met. Ruben adored and was fervently adored by those who will miss him most, his mom Katherina (Kate, Kay, Kat), sisters Renée (Alex), and Brooke, as well as Papa and Mama Jill (Al & Jill Baker). Ruben joins his other sister, Angèle (predeceased). Family first was his motto and he was always there for his family and anyone else who needed him. Ruben will also be sadly missed by all of his friends old and new from RLC public school, SKSS, and his co-workers at H&R Block. His soul brother Lane Bilodeau kept him laughing and living life even when times were rough. Ruben’s extended family will also keenly note his physical absence - Grandma McNab, Aunts/Uncles (spouses) Carol, Grace (Bruce), Joy (Nobi), Tim (Deb), Ann, Conrad (Lise), Perry (Gillian), cousins Sarah, Benjamin, Nathan, Isaac, Jonah, Alexandre, Emilie, Peter and half-sister Rose-Marie. Please join us in a Celebration of Life for Ruben at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, November 13, 2015 in the Kamloops Alliance Church, 200 Leigh Rd. Public viewing will take place prior to the service in the Fireside Room from 12-12:50. Ruben will be laid to rest at the Hillside Cemetery at 3:30 pm.

If Tomorrow Never Comes 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. For surely there’s always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right. There will always be another day to say “I love you,” And certainly there’s another chance to say our “Anything I can do?”

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. 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. So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you’ll surely regret the day, 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. 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 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

Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

Influenza vaccine now available VICTORIA — This year’s influenza vaccine is available at doctors’ offices, public-health clinics and pharmacies across B.C. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the main flu season runs from late November through to next April, noting cases of H3N2 influenza are already showing up. That strain affects mainly older people, while influenza B is expected to show up by February and spread among children. The vaccine is free for children between six months and five years, seniors aged 65 and older, pregnant women, aboriginal peo-

ple and those with chronic health conditions, as well as caregivers and others who expect to be in close contact with higher-risk groups. About 3,500 people die in Canada each winter from influenza and its complications, with hospital and residential care patients the most vulnerable. Kendall said influenza causes more deaths than all other vaccine-preventable illnesses combined. This year’s vaccine is expected to provide 40 to 60 per cent protection against H3N2 and 65 per cent protection against various

Joint review announced VICTORIA — The British Columbia government and the province’s independent children’s watchdog have joined forces to conduct a review of kids being housed in hotels. The review comes after the recent death of 18-year-old Alex Gervais, who was in government care when he fell from the fourth floor of a hotel in Abbotsford. Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, B.C.’s representative for children and youth, believes he committed suicide. She and Children’s Minister

Stephanie Cadieux say the joint review will include recommendations for new policies surrounding the future placement of children in care in hotels. A joint statement says a report on the review is due to be completed by the end of the year and will be made public. Turpel-Lafond said she supports initiatives that reduce and eliminate placing children in care in hotels, even in emergencies. — The Canadian Press

JORDAN PRESS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The federal department in charge of retirement benefits has quietly been reviewing its protocols amid concerns that military spouses were wrongfully being rejected for old age security payments. That review has been ongoing since at least June after reports emerged of at least one military spouse being asked for myriad documentation, including mortgage payments and high school graduation records, to prove her eligibility for the OAS. Her husband, a veteran, was reportedly easily approved for the pension payments. Speaking points and background material provided to then-employment minister Pierre Poilievre in early June suggest the department should have approved the woman’s application for OAS and that other military spouses applying

for benefits should seamlessly receive them as well. The department doesn’t know how widespread the issue is — Service Canada doesn’t track specific information on military spouses — but only about one in 10 OAS applicants doesn’t receive a pension payment in the first month of entitlement. A person has to have resided in Canada for a prescribed number of years before they qualify for payments. Federal rules say a person qualifying for old age security must have lived in Canada for at least 10 years if they never lived abroad. That number goes up to 20 years if that person has lived and worked overseas after turning 18. In certain cases, that time outside the country can be considered as time at home in Canada. Among those cases are military members and spouses who are deployed abroad. “Spouses who accompany military personnel may also be

deemed a resident of Canada for the period of their absence,’’ said government spokeswoman Amelie Caron. “These periods count toward both eligibility and the amount of the OAS pension.’’ Still, the department said, military spouses have to prove their eligibility by providing proper documentation, which can include passport stamps, customs declarations, airline or train tickets, or a letter from an employer attesting to the employment abroad. The note to Poilievre said the department had to confirm a person’s absence was for one of the special cases outlined in federal regulations, to determine whether they could receive payments and how much they were entitled to each month. Caron said the department is still reviewing existing procedures for applying for old age security to make sure they “remain responsive to the needs of Canadians.’’

OTTAWA — Canada’s new environment minister says the national target set by the Conservatives for cutting greenhouse-gas emissions should be considered a floor for future action. Catherine McKenna is in Paris, where she is taking parting part in ministerial meetings in advance of the COP21 international climate conference that begins at the end of the month. The Liberals have refused to set a target for cutting emissions, saying the federal government first needs a credible plan for tackling climate change in concert with the provinces. The previous Harper government announced

in May that Canada’s national contribution for the Paris conference would be a 30 per cent reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions from 2005 levels by the year 2030. McKenna has tried to avoid any talk of target numbers, but said in a call with reporters yesterday the 30 per cent cut by 2030 will be the floor, although the Liberals want to try to do better. Canadian governments — Liberal and Conservative alike — have previously agreed to international carbon cuts, but failed to implement policies to make those cuts a reality and McKenna won’t say now whether there remains any hope for Canada to meet its current 2020 target under the Copenhagen accord.

CP TRAIN DERAILS, SPILLS CRUDE OIL THE CANADIAN PRESS

WATERTOWN, Wis. — Contractors worked to clear more than a dozen derailed cars of a loaded Canadian Pacific Railway train yesterday after thousands of litres of crude oil spilled from one tanker, causing the evacuation of a neighbourhood in a small southern Wisconsin city. Residents who evacuated dozens of homes in Watertown following the derailment Sunday afternoon were still being kept away yesterday as 12 derailed cars were moved to a temporary track. Thirteen of the train’s 110 cars derailed and 109 of them were carrying crude oil, officials said. Crews were dismantling and removing one car that was punctured, and it spilled no more than 3,800 litres, Canadian

Pacific spokesman Andrew Cummings said. The railroad said the leaking car was sealed, the oil contained and siphoned off and that none of the product reached any waterways. It was the second freight train derailment in as many days in Wisconsin. On Saturday, 25 BNSF train cars including tankers derailed, spilling more than 68,000 litres of ethanol along the shores on the Mississippi River in western Wisconsin. BNSF said railroad crews stopped the leaks from five tanker cars and placed containment booms along the shoreline. No one was hurt. BNSF expected the tracks to return to service yesterday. Federal Railroad Administration regional administrator Steven Illich said there was no reason to believe the

Watertown derailment was anything but an accident. “We have no indications that it is criminal. However, again, we won’t rule anything out until we have a chance to do a full investigation,’’ Illich said. Investigators will look at several key areas including the track, he added. “There will be metallurgic tests that will be done, not only on the rails, but on the wheels on the train cars,’’ Illich said. Watertown Fire Chief Gregory Michalek said residents who evacuated 35 homes following the spill cannot return home until the cleanup is complete. They were escorted to their homes by officials late Sunday to retrieve pets, medicine and clothes. CP said in its statement that it had reserved hotel rooms for all affected families.

is art for

EVERYONE? If you thought 4Cats Art Studio was new to Kamloops, you’re not alone. It moved from Seymour Street to Victoria Street in January and, as a result, has seen an increase in traffic. Though it has been in the River City a few years, art instructor and 4Cats Kamloops owner Jennifer O’Brien said in its former location, it might as well have been on Mars. The studio offers children’s and adult art workshops and is part of a franchise that started in Victoria in 2005. Classes vary in mediums and themes. There’s clay sculpting, water colour painting and holiday and family activities. Above all, 4Cats touts flexibility for newbies to the art scene — all skill levels are welcome, O’Brien said. Testing that premise, KTW reporters — and amateur artists — Jessica Wallace and Jessica Klymchuk dropped in for an adult workshop, an Andy Warhol-inspired silk screening class. Read about their experience and then go online to kamloopsthisweek. com for video from their class.

K KTW REPORTERS — AND AMATEUR ARTISTS — TOOK AN ADULT ART WORKSHOP AT 4CATS STUDIO JJessica Klymchuk’s Marilyn Monroe portrait (left) varried from Jessica Wallace’s portrait (right).

CLASS DESCRIPTION: “SILKSCREEN AND PAINT USING PROFESSIONAL ACRYLICS AND INKS IN OUR MARILYN WARHOL INSPIRED WORKSHOP. ART IS FOR EVERYBODY. ALL LEVELS OF EXPERIENCE WELCOME.”

Jessica Wallace

When I learned 10-or-so 4Cats students would create silkscreen portraits of Marilyn Monroe, I thought they’d all come out looking the same. The process seemed so streamlined: Inking a perfect outline of Marilyn onto a canvas with a screen, filling in the picture with colourful touches and silk screening again to add shading and features. The end result was far from my initial inkling. Each finished Marilyn was unique, from backgrounds of solid colour blocking to wispy, multicoloured blends and her powdered skin was in every colour imaginable. This realization best summarizes my first time workshopping at 4Cats: The studio provides the basic framework and you take it in your own unique, personal direction. The class had a light atmosphere fit for inspiring cre-

ativity from the background tunes to the splattered paint all over the room — on the floor, benches and walls — to the blank canvas hanging upon arrival that screamed unlimited possibilities. It was interesting learning history about the technique of the night, Andy Warhol’s “factory-style” artwork, and I appreciated the “it’s no big deal” approach to things like spilling paint and asking for help. I felt lost when it came to choosing paint colours but our teacher said “there’s no right or wrong colour for Marilyn.” Students shared a laugh over the epiphany of being able to mix the basic paint colours together and, when painting the background, I stumbled onto what I deemed a “happy accident” when my yellow and green partly blended together. Though my portion of the painting looked childish at best, I was delighted to see it transform into Marilyn after the final screen was inked.

I was even more delighted, still, to realize we weren’t required to clean up our mess.

Jessica Klymchuk

Perfectionism isn’t well suited for art. And, while I’ve never considered myself a perfectionist, there’s something about physically creating something that brings out my inner critic. As I painted within the stencil of my Marilyn, I apparently had much to be critical of. First, I didn’t like the colour I chose for her hair. I didn’t like how my amateur brush strokes showed on the canvas. The shape of her earrings, lips and eyeshadow were all wrong after I finished them. Although I liked every colour I chose, I didn’t like how they looked next to each other. It all brought back memories of making an animal mask in Grade 4 when I, for whatever reason, chose to replicate a turtle and it was pretty much just a human face sans the nose,

painted green. It looked like crap and I wished I had chose to make an elephant. Oh yes, the stress of elementary school art class was rushing back to me through one multi-coloured Monroe. I also tried to paint a pot over the summer which did not make its way to my work desk because I have no children on whom to blame it on. But, no matter, this time I forged forward with my brush and put my cynical side to bed. The room was bright with splattered paint and the music was mellow. We were laughing at how our Marilyns resembled Ronald McDonald and how they were really all masterpieces in their own right. Then we got to silk screen Marilyn’s true features over our work and see her come to life. They all looked great and I realized what our instructor had been saying all along — there’s really no wrong way to make art, even if you are the ultimate amateur.

The indie-rock band Towers and Trees is performing a house show in Kamloops on Nov. 13. Admission is $20.

Running away, back to the ‘Loops DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

There was a time when Adrian Chalifour saw Kamloops as his own personal desert, a place where he felt his decisions had been wrong and his talent had gone dormant. He wrote songs during the two years he lived here, but felt he had lost his sense of direction. Chalifour moved to Victoria, continued writing and, when a friend mentioned he wanted to try recording and producing, the two began what eventually

became Towers and Trees. Various other musical friends have been involved in the project but, at its core, Chalifour is the anchor with a couple of others always there. The band is heading out on a tour of B.C. and Alberta as a five-piece group, stopping in Kamloops on Nov. 13 for a house show. This is the group’s fifth show in Kamloops and, Chalifour said, each time he’s performed, many of the songs he has introduced are tied to the River City, including the single the band

is most known for, Montreal. “It’s about running away to Montreal,” Chalifour said, “something I wrote when I felt stuck in Kamloops.” Now, he said, some of the best shows he does are here, much of that the result of the owner where the band will play, Jenn Sheeley. “She’s one of those people who realized that, in social media, if you can give a musician an audience and some food and some money for gas in the car, they will come to play.” Every show Towers

and Trees has done has been different, influenced by those in the audience. Chalifour said he writes with a focus on earnestness and vulnerability, “not necessarily welcome in modern music but our songs always come back to stories and message.” The 10-day, nineshow tour is supporting the latest release, The West Coast. The band released Broken Record in 2012. Admission to the show is $20. To RSVP, call Sheeley at 250-3190601. Doors open at 7 p.m.

AN ALTERNATIVE FORM OF REMEMBRANCE GEORGE M. JOHNSON SPECIAL TO KTW editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

he annual observance of Remembrance Day has long been the official and accepted means of conveying our respect for those who sacrificed their lives in the cause of war. However, during and following the First World War, before an Armistice Day ceremony had even been conceived, how did people mourn their lost loved ones? Traditional funeral rites could not be observed because there were no bodies: Soldiers were buried where they fell rather than being brought back to their native soil. Furthermore, 499,000 soldiers were listed as missing in action and 173,000 were found but could not be identified. Many men died horrific deaths, rendering traditional rites meaningless, even a mockery, as soldier-poet Wilfred Owen conveyed in Anthem For Doomed Youth: “What passing-bells for these who die as cattle? Only the monstrous anger of the guns. Only the stuttering rifles’ rapid rattle Can patter out their hasty orisons. No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells; Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs — The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells.” Responses to these overwhelming losses were complex and varied. Some people created individual shrines in their homes composed of photographs, medals, letters and personal items retrieved from the soldier’s body. Others had the impulse to go to battle sites to search for loved one’s graves — and many thousands did after the war. However, in order to cope with sorrow, a significant number adopted some form of mysticism, the practise of focusing inward, with the aim of achieving unity with the transcendental order. According to contemporary guru of mysticism, Evelyn Underhill, this makes people receptive to messages from another plane. A prominent form of mysticism was spiritualism, the practise of communicating with departed spirits, usually through a medium. It attracted large numbers of the bereaved. In 1914, the Spiritualist National Union claimed 145 affiliate societies and, by 1937, there were 520, for total of about 250,000 members, with as many more spiritualist meeting places not associated with the union and as many as 100,000 home séance circles. Even the Church of England reported favourably on the claims of spiritualism at the 1920 Lambeth Conference. By far the most famous soldier to communicate in this manner was Second Lieut. Raymond Lodge, who was killed near Ypres on Sept. 14, 1915.

Second-Lieut. Raymond Lodge was killed near Ypres on Sept. 14, 1915. His father, Sir Oliver Lodge, claimed to have communicated with his son in the afterlife.

His father happened to be the eminent scientist Sir Oliver Lodge, contributor to the development of radio — telegraphy, as well as many other inventions. Lodge had been a psychical researcher for many years, but the loss of Raymond and then his purported communications with Lodge and his wife convinced him that personality survived death. His spirit-soldier memoir Raymond (1916), with its descriptions of Summerland (as Raymond called the afterlife) became immensely popular and controversial, going through many editions during and after the war. Were these communications an example of the credulity of belief? I will leave that to each individual to decide, but I would argue that, through this extended communication with his son, Lodge was able to renegotiate his relationship with him. Ironically, Lodge, a distant and preoccupied father of 12 children, seems to have learned more about his youngest son and developed a more compassionate understanding of him in the afterlife. He learned, for example, about the popular songs that his son had loved to sing and his sense of humour. Another eminent father, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, was so impressed by his friend Lodge’s book that he publicly

confirmed his convictions regarding spiritualism. Doyle, who had been an enthusiastic propagandist for, and would-be participant in, the First World War, thereafter directed his energies to proselytize about spiritualism, especially after the deaths from influenza of his son Kingsley in 1918 and his brother Innes in 1919, both soldiers. He became known as the St. Paul of spiritualism, claiming proudly in his autobiography Memories and Adventures that he travelled 55,000 miles, spoke to a quarter-million people and wrote hundreds of thousands of words proclaiming the truth of spiritualism. He also spent a large proportion of his fortune on it. He too was able to renegotiate his fraught relationship with Kingsley (one of two neglected children from his first marriage) and to achieve some closure in a context where families did not have the chance to bury their dead soldiers. Although Doyle’s post-war writing failed to satisfy the expectations of his audience, it proved therapeutic for him. Through books like The Vital Message (1919), he provided consolation to thousands and responded conscientiously to their letters with compassion; he became an advocate for tolerance in spiritual matters, claiming that “All religions would be equal, for all alike produce gentle, unselfish souls who are God’s elect.” Doyle even has Sherlock Holmes show rare compassion in a late story when he fears Watson might die from a gunshot wound (Adventure of The Three Garridebs, 1924). By the time of Doyle’s death in 1930, he had found a new audience and had a huge impact on thousands, as evidenced by those who packed into the Royal Albert Hall for his “happier burial service” (that he had requested), the worldwide tributes and the curious claims regarding his spirit manifestation, which continue to this day (as in Roger Straughan’s A Study in Survival, 2009). For Doyle, Lodge and many others like them, including war propagandist Rudyard Kipling, their experimentation with mysticism — and particularly spiritualism (regardless of its truth value) — and their writing about it became a more creative and therapeutic form of mourning than the conventional practise of mourning by drawing solace from state-sanctioned war memorials and ceremonies.

To many, they are just names carved into the stone. For family members, they’re memories of good people sent off to fight an evil war. For Jeff Lodge, those names are a part of Kamloops history that needs to be told not just on Remembrance Day, but yearround. For years, Lodge has been working on the Kamloops War Memorial Project, searching out who those names belonged to, what families they came from, what they looked like and who they were before they became soldiers. Lodge said he’s always been interested in history.

His father was a veteran of the Second World War — and of the Battle of Normandy, better known as D-Day, when 14,000 Canadian troops joined other allied forces who landed on a 50-mile stretch of the fortified Normandy coast of France and 359 of them died on that day. Lodge’s mom was a war bride and he grew up with that family history, one touched by battles, by coming home, by rebuilding a life — and it inspired him to become an advocate for those carved names. In the process, Lodge said, he has met “a lot of cool people, cool families.” There was the woman who was just eight months old when her father died, someone who has grown up with just the sto-

ries and memories of others. There was a man now in his 90s who lost his cousin, a relative Lodge said was the closest thing to a brother for him, and who has his own recollections of what was and then was lost. Lodge has two large binders filled with photographs shared by the families he has contacted or ones he has found on his own as he digs through records and archives, many of them at the city’s museum. In searching out pictures, he tries to find soldiers in their uniforms but, particularly for the First World War section, that isn’t always easy to do. And, as he’s dug into the past, Lodge has discovered a few names on the cenotaph that aren’t quite correct, with mis-

spelled surnames or mixed-up initials. He has found two names of soldiers who shouldn’t be there — they didn’t die in battle. And, he’s found names of soldiers who did die and who aren’t on the cenotaph. Julia Cyr, supervisor of the Kamloops Museum and Archives, said she has seen Lodge there often, researching in the volumes of information there. The plan is to add all of his work to the museum website to be shared with others. “I don’t study the battles,” Lodge said, “I study the people, the family stories, the names I took off the cenotaph — they’re there for a reason.”

Remembrance Day schedule

he Kamloops Remembrance Day ceremony will get underway tomorrow at the Riverside Park cenotaph shortly after 10:30 a.m. More than 2,000 people are expected to attend. Royal Canadian Legion Branch 52 president Craig Thomson said that number seems to grow every year. “Remembrance Day is supposed to be a day to remember our veterans,” Thompson said. “It’s a day to come out and pay your respects. “By coming out and being part of the ceremony, it shows the older veterans, and the younger veterans, how many people care.” At 10:45 a.m., the cenotaph guard will

arrive, followed by the colour party and veterans party at 10:50 a.m. Two minutes before 11 a.m., O Canada will be recited, followed by The Last Post, a two-minute moment of silence, a flyover by Canadian Forces fighter jets, The Lament and Reveille. The ceremony will end with the placing of wreaths on the cenotaph, followed by an 11:30 a.m. parade out of the park, ending in the 500-block of Victoria Street. Thompson said all veterans are welcome to join the parade and walk with their fellow soldiers. Following the service, all Kamloopsians are invited to visit the Legion at 425 Lansdowne St. for refreshments and entertainment throughout the day. Dinner, by donation, will be served at the Legion at about 5 p.m.

Open houses are also held at the Army Navy and Air Force Veterans Club at 9-177 Tranquille Rd., the Fraternal Order of Eagles at 755 Tranquille Rd., the Elks Lodge at 784 Victoria St. and the Rocky Mountain Rangers Canteen at 1221 McGill Rd. New this year, the City of Kamloops had 20 poppies painted on the grass surrounding the cenotaph in Riverside Park. The Remembrance Day ceremony has been held in the park for almost 15 years. Also tomorrow, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church will host a by-donation Remembrance Day concert at 7 p.m. with Cantible Singers of Kamloops presenting a one-hour choral program, incorporating the writings of Emily Carr and Lucy Maude Montgomery as they lived through the war on the two coasts of Canada. The church is located at 1136 Sixth Ave.
