International student suffers brain trauma Saudi man had pool cue driven through his eye; fellow Saudi student facing assault charge By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The passport of a Thompson Rivers University international student from Saudi Arabia has been seized after an assault on the weekend at a downtown Kamloops nightclub that left another man in hospital with severe brain trauma. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said emergency crews were called to Cactus Jack’s at about 1:15 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3, after a man was assaulted with a pool cue. Investigators

believe two friends — both TRU international students from Saudi Arabia, one 28 and the other 25 — were playing pool inside the nightclub when they had a disagreement. Learned said the 28-year-old punched his 25-year-old friend, who retaliated with a pool cue. “The pool cue penetrated his [the 28-year-old’s] eye and went through his eye socket and penetrated his brain,” Learned said. The 28-year-old victim underwent emergency surgery at Royal Inland Hospital to relieve swelling on his brain.

Learned said he suffered severe brain trauma and remains in critical but stable condition. The Kamloops RCMP’s majorcrimes unit is now investigating. The 25-year-old, who is facing one count of aggravated assault, was arrested and released on a $10,000 surety the following day after a bail hearing before a justice of the peace. Learned said he was ordered to surrender his passport and barred from leaving B.C. until his charge is dealt with. The accused has been a student at TRU since 2009.

According to Learned, the victim’s family has been noti-

fied of the incident. Police are still looking to speak with

anyone who saw the incident. Witnesses

are asked to call Kamloops Mounties at 250-828-3000.

Kamloops man wins $500,000 on Lotto Max A Kamloops man won a cool half-million dollars in the last Lotto Max draw. John George, a 65-year-old heavy equipment operator, was under the weather and headed to the drug store when he remembered he had some lottery tickets. “When the pot gets high, I jump in,” George said. “I remembered that my wife had mentioned there was a big winner in Kamloops, so I made sure to check my lottery tickets.” After first checking a non-winning ticket, George placed his Lotto Max ticket in the Check-a-Ticket machine. “I put my ticket in and saw the

$500,000 come up on screen,” he said. “I checked it again just to make sure and then took it to the cashier.” The winning ticket was purchased at the Petro-Canada gas station on Yellowhead Highway. “My wife didn’t believe me when I told her we had won a half-a-million dollars,” George said. “I had to show her both the slips before she believed me.” A total of 24 Maxmillions (individual $1-million prizes) were won across Canada in the Friday, Oct. 26, draw. Tickets sold in Fort St. John and

The Friday, Nov. 3, Lotto Max draw featured a $50 main prize and 50 draws for $1 million. The jackpot was split between two tickets — one sold in Alberta and one sold in British Columbia.

Lindsay’s fate unknown; murder trial delayed By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Lawyers wouldn’t say it, but discussions in a Kamloops courtroom on Monday, Nov. 5, implied a psychiatric report has found admitted killer Mark Lindsay to be suffering from a mental disorder. Lindsay did not appear for the brief hearing before B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley, and he is not expected back in court until next month. In August, the 25-year-old son of a former Edmonton police chief admitted to a string of violent crimes while standing trial at the Kamloops Law Courts.

Taking the stand in his own defence, Lindsay said he murdered his ex-girlfriend, Dana Turner, in Edmonton in August of 2011. He also admitted to attacking an undercover RCMP officer in Barriere during a Mr. Big sting weeks later, and then to stabbing his cellmate at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre last October. Lindsay claimed in court to have been the target of a group of serial killers. He testified he was acting in self-defence during each of the attacks. After two weeks of trial, Dley ordered Lindsay to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

The findings of the report, which was completed in mid-October, have yet to be made public. However, defence lawyer Don Campbell implied in court on Nov. 5 that the psychiatrist who conducted the report found Lindsay to be suffering from a mental disorder. “If the Crown agrees with the report, we could conclude both matters [the Mr. Big attack and the KRCC stabbing] in one day,” Campbell said. Prosecutor Will Burrows said he needs more time to speak with the psychiatrist before reaching a conclusion. If the doctor’s report states Lindsay does suffer from a mental

disorder, Dley could find him not criminally responsible for the stabbings of the undercover Mountie and the KRCC cellmate. In that case, Lindsay would be handed over to the B.C. Review Board for disposition. Lindsay is also facing a seconddegree murder charge in Alberta in relation to Turner’s death. He is expected to appear in a Red Deer courtroom for a preliminary hearing in January. He’s slated to return to B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Dec. 10.

Murder trial delayed The trial of a Kamloops man

accused of killing his father last year has been delayed a few days. Joshua Steel’s second-degree murder trial was set to begin in B.C. Supreme Court on Monday, Nov. 5. It is now expected to get underway on Wednesday, Nov. 7. The 19-year-old was arrested after his father, 63-year-old Phil Steel, was found dead inside the family’s Westmount home on Sept. 12, 2011. Josh Steel, who has no prior criminal record, was charged with second-degree murder a short time later. The trial is expected to last three days.

High-risk sex offender wants to stay in jail By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A convicted Kamloops sex offender known to target children and labelled by justice officials a high risk to re-offend has agreed to spend the foreseeable future in a jail cell. David Bruce Jennings appeared in Kamloops provincial court on Thursday, Nov.

1, facing one count each of sexual assault and sexual interference of a person under 16. No details of the alleged crimes have been made public, but court documents state the offences took place in late August in Deadmans Creek, west of Kamloops. Jennings, 48, was the subject of a rare public warning from B.C.

In court on Nov. 1, Jennings was expected to appear for a bail hearing. “We’re not going to be doing that,” defence lawyer Murray Armstrong told the court. “Mr. Jennings is consenting to remain in custody.” He is due back in court on Thursday, Dec. 13.

Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned. The driver, an 87-year-old Kamloops man, has not yet been charged with any offence, Learned said. As of Kamloops This Week’s press deadline on Monday, Nov. 5, the victim remained in critical condition at Royal Inland Hospital.

Bat attack follows suspected sexual assault in downtown Kamloops alley A Kamloops man will likely face assault charges after taking the law — and a baseball bat — into his own hands on the weekend. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said the incident began shortly after 2 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3, in an alley near Cactus Jack’s nightclub, which is located on Fifth Avenue, between Victoria and Lansdowne streets. “A fellow and his girlfriend had come out of the bar and had heard a woman scream,” Learned said. “They saw an individual pulling up his pants and a woman fleeing the area.” Learned said the passerby assumed he had come across the aftermath of a sexual assault.

Making sense of conﬂict Israeli speaker comes to TRU with neutral approach to explaining situation in Middle East By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A speaker with decades of experience in the Arab-Israeli conflict is bringing his “different perspective” on the issue to Kamloops. Avi Melamed will be at Thompson Rivers University tonight (Nov. 6), delivering a presentation on the current state of the Middle East. “Basically, I’m talking about it from a different perspective — what is the essence of this event? What drives this event?” Melamed told KTW. “I provide a more complete picture so people will be able to connect the dots.” Melamed said his vast resume allows him to take an approach not common when it comes to the Middle East — a neutral one. “I’m not standing

for any political view, not speaking for any political lobby,” he said. “People basically come out with the feeling that the whole chaotic thing that is the Middle East, they are more able to connect the dots and more able to understand the context.” Melamed is Jewish, but speaks fluid Arabic. That, he said, means he’s able to experience both sides of the Middle East’s problems. After a career in combat intelligence with the Israeli military, Melamed became a senior advisor to two mayors of Jerusalem. He then entered the private sector and founded a consulting company focusing on Arab affairs. Following that, Melamed taught high school until 2010, when he started feenjan.com — a website designed

to present Israel to Arabs in Arabic, with the goal of creating a community based on common goals. Melamed has given presentations across North America and in Europe. He said the talks have the potential to go a long way in repairing the Middle East. “These meetings are enormously important,” he said. “They are educational, but sometimes you have speakers who

come and speak out their political views. “I’m not doing that.” Melamed’s talk, titled Winds of Change and Quicksand: The Arab Awakening, Israel and the Region, is slated to begin at 7:30 p.m. in room IB1015 inside TRU’s International Building. Admission is free, and free parking will also be provided in TRU’s Lot A. For more information, go to jewishcanada.org.

Mayor seeks same-day homeless counts By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Mayor Peter Milobar was surprised to learn homeless counts aren’t done on the same day in the province. It just makes sense, he said, to do that when trying to create a census of a transient population. It’s a view Tangie Genshorek, coordinator of the city’s Homelessness Action Plan, agrees would make sense. She plans to lobby for the change and also encourage a move away from an annual count. “When we started this,” Genshorek said, “it was as much about starting the conversation as it was getting an idea of the numbers.” With several years of data collected and the issue getting increased attention, she’s not sure taking the annual snapshot is worth the time or money involved. This year’s count found 99 homeless people in Kamloops, with 54 sleeping in shelters and the rest outdoors somewhere. Seventy-three per

cent said if they could find and afford housing, they would be in it. In fact, said Genshorek, only one person counted during the census said he chose to live on the street — “and I don’t believe him,” she said. Last year, the annual count tallied up 45 people, half the number counted in 2010. In 2009, volunteers counted 103 homeless people in the city. Genshorek said she prefers to compare this year’s number with the one in 2005, the last time the same criteria used in October was used for the count. That year, True Consulting, using provincially accepted protocols and methods, found 104 people. Broadening the view, a statistic developed by the Social Planning and Research Council through a variety of means — including random phone calls and focus groups — determined 1,167 hidden homeless in the city and another 183 living in transitional housing, bringing the actual total to 1,449. Breaking down the

snapshot statistics, gathered during the two-day count last month, shows there are: • 59 men, 24 women and nine children homeless, with another seven people for whom no gender was recorded; • 52 per cent of the men between the ages of 40 and 59; • 46 per cent of the women between the ages of 30 and 39; • 35 per cent who have been homeless for up to six months; • 55 per cent who have lived in Kamloops for more than a year; • 33 per cent who report having a mental illness or other medical condition. Milobar said the city has tried to work to assist with construction of affordable housing and to provide support to the many social agencies in the city involved with the homeless segment. And, while he said he’s not sure how valid the actual statistic generated from the count is, “at its core, it is still very important to show there is a need. It provides us with a reference point.”

Here’s the real smart-meter manipulation in the province

WO VERY DIFFERENT scenes unfolded at opposite ends of the province last week. In the remote northwest corner of B.C., the first power-line towers started going up to connect Highway 37 communities to the BC Hydro grid. The Nisga’a, Tahltan and other aboriginal communities will soon have reliable power, as well as much-needed training and jobs during clearing and construction. Meanwhile, down on the Gulf Islands, the most hysterical, dishonest campaign against smart meters I’ve heard of so far went into high gear. I’ve obtained a mass e-mail from the head anti-smart meter organizer on Salt Spring Island that shows the mentality at work here. (Corix is the BC Hydro contractor that has installed more than a million meters and has approached the Gulf Islands with trepidation, the last area of B.C. to be done.) “Corix is attacking with 30 trucks on Mon the 22nd,” Chris Anderson wrote in October. “Poelpe [sic] are advised NOT to attend the Victoria pipeline rally but instead help defend agianst [sic] spymeter installations in their neighbourhoods.” Anderson’s self-appointed supporters fanned out across the island, attempting to turn away installers on the false assumption everyone has fallen for their crackpot fear campaign. They managed to stop 12 per cent of the installations. Coincidentally, Anderson has been doing a brisk business

As for the term “spymeter,” I’ve reported on the weird theories spread by Bill Vander Zalm in a video interview, in which he claims smart meters are part of a global-surveillance system that can even tell what you’re cooking. Vander Zalm has been outdone by one Brian Thiesen, who styles himself as the “chairman” of “Interior Smart Meter Awareness.” In September, the Merritt Herald reported on Thiesen’s presentation to 20 unwary people in a church basement. He claimed wireless meters not only provide video surveillance of your house, they are also responsible for “dying bees” and “defective sperm and eggs,” disease and fires. Thiesen even claimed radiofre-

quency signals can “pull your PIN number directly out of your head.” Is there no limit to the nonsense some people will fall for? Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis co-authored a study that shows residential fires have decreased with the advent of smart meters. Which brings me to the ugliest opposition to this modernization — the criminal element. Here in North America’s marijuana mecca, installers have encountered many meter bypasses, wired up to steal hydro and conceal high consumption for grow-ops. In addition to being illegal, they are a fire hazard that is removed when discovered. Installers also find more sophisticated cases of hydro theft. Removing the mechanical meter reveals a hole cut in the back of the case, so the dials can be turned back to hide a grow-op’s power consumption. No wonder some people want to lock them down. Of course, all of this is defeated by a smart-grid system, so growers and other crooks are angry. A BC Hydro official told me about one case, on which a user was told he had a bypass and that it was being removed. His bill went from next to nothing to a reasonable level. The customer complained to the media, falsely inflating the amount of his bill and blaming an inaccurate smart meter. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Four years ago, he rode remarkable oratory skills and promise of change into the White House. Today (Nov. 6), as voters in the United States go to the polls, President Barack Obama is the one facing a call for change — from Republican candidate Mitt Romney and his supporters. Since the first of three presidential debates, in which Obama came across as the political equivalent of the Kansas City Chiefs, pundits have declared this race too close to call. This week, however, polling seems to show support steering toward Obama, with a few projections calling for Obama to easily surpass the 270 electoral college votes needed to win. In 2008, Obama dominated, breezing into the Oval Office with 365 electoral-college votes. As always, it’s about the economy — and Obama has been unable to do anything concrete to improve the fortunes of millions of Americans as the brutal recession that took hold shortly after he took office continues to cling to North American society. Will Canada be better served by an Obama win or a Romney victory? Depends on who you ask and which issues are being discussed. Canadians are generally seen as siding with the Democrats — we seemed to love Bill Clinton and tolerate George W. Bush, after all — and polls taken on this side of the 49th in the past 14 days seem to bolster that view. Even KTW readers believe Obama is on the cusp of a second term, based on our highly unscientific online poll. Which is why settling in front of the TV tonight will be very much like watching Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final — only with much more at stake. Our call? Obama wins with 281 electoral-college votes.

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Re: Letter: From the Kamloops Food Bank — thank you all: Maybe ask the politicians (all of whom are right wing neo-cons) why there is such a need for food banks in this rich country. “Maybe they should put people before huge corporations, eh?” — posted by Mike Mitchell

Re: Letter: RCMP gets coyote ugly in its fur request: “There’s no cruelty there. “You want to see cruelty? Watch a pack of coyotes take down and eat one of your cows alive — or go to a slaughterhouse. “But, I’m sure you don’t eat meat or wear leather, right?” — posted by Eric LaChance

Re: Pool-cue assault lands Kamloops man in critical condition: “I am friends with a witness who has already made a statement about this incident. “This was a terrible accident and I am sincerely sorry for the victim. However, please don’t let the media make this out to be a brutal attack. “This was an accident and the man involved had no intention to cause any injury. “My thoughts go out to the man in hospital.” — posted by Cody Campbell

Model not pro or con Editor: Re: The photo of the two Ajax mine models, which appeared in the Nov. 1 edition of KTW. Just a note about the caption of this photo, which states the second model was created by a group opposed to the project. That is factually incorrect and potentially misleading. The group has been reported in other KTW stories to be neither for nor against the project. Its stated interest, if I’m not mistaken, was independent accuracy of the model. Shannon Hammonds Kamloops

This fountain (top) stood in the front yard of a Monarch Court home until Halloween night, when someone stole the top portion (left) of the grand structure. The owner would very much like it returned.

Fountain ﬁlched on Halloween night Editor: We try so hard to make our front yard on Monarch Court in Kamloops beautiful for everyone to enjoy. On Halloween night, however, some kids stole the top of our fountain and took off with it. If they could please bring it back, we would be so grateful. There will be no questions asked. Please let us know where it is so we can go and get it. Maybe someone has seen it on the side of the road or in someone else’s yard. Could everyone please keep their eyes open for this cement piece? Thank you. Darlene Mikalishen Kamloops

Editor: So, B.C. Liberal candidate Todd Stone (Kamloops-South Thompson) is afraid of the NDP being elected next May and believes, along with current MLA Kevin Krueger and others, the NDP was responsible for the 1990s recession across Canada. Fortunately, the polls would indicate there are a lot more people really afraid of the B.C. Liberals getting re-elected. Do you suppose it is because of former premier Gordon Campbell’s scorched-earth policy, whereby he cost thousands of British Columbians their jobs through layoffs and privatization? Or maybe it is due to the closure of courthouses, seniors’ homes and hospitals? Perhaps it is linked to his holiday in Hawaii after all this hard work he had done. I think it is because of the privatization of more than 200 rivers and streams for independent power producers’ run-of-river projects for BC Hydro, where the public used to fish and camp, but no longer can. Then again, votKTW reader Ron York thinks ers’ fears of the B.C. Liberals winning another B.C. Liberal candidate Todd term could be connected to Stone is off-base to think voters are afraid of an the HST. NDP government being In any event, there are elected. KTW file photo just too many reasons to eject this bunch. Stone should have been here during the 1980s. Juniper Ridge looked like a bombed-out area, with only basements visible for new homes that never happened. The economy then was at a standstill, with many leaving the province in droves looking for work, even paving companies, not to mention the many firms that filed for bankruptcy. I guess we will have to blame that mess on the coalition government of the day — Bill Bennett’s Socreds. They also had a lot of shenanigans going on when they were in power. Then, along came 2008, that same coalition government (now called the B.C. Liberals) and another recession. We now have a bunch of right wingers with their fancy tricks and fibs from Alberta coming to help the poor incumbents in B.C. in the next election. That ought to be a good one. Ron York Kamloops

TRU students give better grades Thompson Rivers University students apparently like the improvements the institution is making, according to results of a newspaper poll released this week. The Globe and Mail’s 2013 Canadian University Report — for which students were polled at post-secondary schools across Canada — shows TRU has improved in 44 of 61 categories. “What I think is really neat is the improvement,”

TRU president Alan Shaver told KTW. “In many of the categories, we’ve moved up. We like that.” TRU received high marks in quality of teaching, campus safety, class size, technology and recreation. Lower grades were recorded in categories including off-campus housing, quality of public transportation and campus bookstore. Overall, students gave

TRU a B+ grade — on par with the national average. “I think it’s a signal that the faculty and staff at this university is student-centred,” Shaver said. “It’s very re-assuring and I think it validates what we’re trying to do here.” To view TRU’s Globe and Mail report card, go to globecampus.ca/navigator/thompson-riversuniversity/.

For an encore, return their guitars By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Members of the Montreal band Endast are back on the road, completing their crossCanada tour — minus their usual guitars. The three instruments were stolen on Halloween night while the band was stuck in Kamloops, waiting for transmission repairs on its van. The guitars, three Godins, were in a trailer parked in the lot of the hotel where the group was staying. Band members spent Nov. 1 visiting local pawn shops, hoping to find the guitars but, the next day, approached Long and McQuade to see if they could rent replacements to get them back on their tour. Store manager Ron Willes said the rentals,

HOT DEALS from this week’s ﬂyer

provided for free, will be dropped off likely in the band’s hometown of Montreal and returned to Kamloops. The band members are still hoping to have the Godins returned. Taken were a high-end custom-made Fat Black series guitar with white pickups, an LG Signature and a Redline 3, the last two with distinct amberstain finishes. Only one was insured. The Signature guitar was the first Godin the band bought and has been used on all its recordings, including The Promise in 2005, Odds Against Tomorrow in 2006 and Black Cloud in 2011. The Redline is used by band guitarist Pepe Poliquin. Anyone with information is asked to email bigmetal@gmail.com.

CLEARING THE GRILL FOR CARL’S ARRIVAL Demolition crews tear down the Valleyview building that housed the Orchard Grill and Malibu restaurants. Once the debris is cleared, work will begin on constructing a building that will house a Carl’s Jr. franchise. Carl’s Jr. has about 1,100 restaurants in the western U.S. and opened its first Canadian outlet last year in Kelowna. Dave Eagles/KTW

Building-permit values rising While the total number of building permits issued in Kamloops through October is down from 2011, the value of those permits has exceeded last year’s figures. The City of Kamloops buildinginspection department reports that 1,379 permits have been issued through the first 10 months of the year, compared to 1,474 through the same time period in 2011. However, the value of this year’s permits is pegged at $156.8 million, about $10 million more than the $146.2 value

in permits issued through October 2011. Total number of permits in October — 24 — mirrored exactly the number issued in October 2011, whereas permit value last month ($9.4 million) exceeded permit value in October 2011 ($8.7million). In October, the bulk of value came from the 10 single-family dwelling permits ($3.2 million) and the 10 commercial building permits ($2.4 million). There were no permits issued in October for multi-family apartment projects or multi-family buildings of

three or more units. Year-to-date, commercial building permits lead the way (125 permits worth $50.5 million), followed by single-family dwelling permits (105 permits worth $33.5 million), institutional permits (15 permits worth $27.7 million), multifamily apartment permits (three permits worth $9.8 million), multi-family singleunit permits (35 permits worth $6.7 million), multi-family duplex permits (32 permits worth $5.9 million) and siteservicing permits (seven permits worth $4 million).

The buzz in Kamloops By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ever thought about keeping bees? Having your own supply of honey? Going old school and brewing mead? This weekend might be the time to get those beehive dreams off the ground. Beginning on Thursday, Nov. 8, and running through Saturday, Nov. 10, the annual B.C. Honey Producers Conference will be in Kamloops for the first time in more than a decade. Jaquie Bunse, an apiary inspector with the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture, will be here, offering tips on basic beekeeping. She said it’s more rewarding a pursuit than most people realize. “Some people get into it because it is the romance of having some kind of animal husbandry,” said Bunse, who

lives in Burnaby but works out of Abbotsford and covers essentially the entire Lower Mainland as the region’s provincial apiary inspector. “Another reason would be that they would like to have some honey, or have something to do when they retire, or better pollination in their garden or yard.” Bunse said her presentation will lay out essential beekeeping knowledge. “Basic bee biology, what to expect, what the bees do, what they need and how to monitor them for diseases and parasites,” she said. “Also, how to know when the bees need help — like when you need to feed them and that sort of thing.” Bunse had some tips for people looking to get into the beekeeping game who won’t

be able to make it to this weekend’s conference. “The best thing to do is take a course,” she said, noting such classes are offered around the province. “Also, join a bee club. Then, at least you have a common sort of interest and you learn a lot from other people. “And, you have to have a family who’s willing to share their space with a couple thousand insects.” That might be a bit of an understatement. Bunse said most colonies have between 2,000 and 3,000 bees in the spring, but the population can grow to anywhere between 40,000 and 60,000 by July. For more information on the Kamloops Beekeepers Club, go online to kamloopsbeekeepers.com.

Beekeeping basics Beekeeping is not just a matter of setting up a colony and letting the insects do their thing. According to Bunse, there are a lot of items — in addition to the bees themselves — you’ll need to become a keeper of bees: • Hive tool, smoker, fuel, matches or two lighters. • Notebook, waterproof marker, pen. • Toothpicks, small plastic bags, small envelopes, one cup of icing sugar, 12-in square sheet of white plastic. • 10-gallon plastic pail, strainer, fine mesh

Silver & Gold

cloth, windshield-washer fluid. • One-litre jar with screw-top and ring. • Six six-ounce jars with half-and-half solution of alcohol and water. • Empty container for wax, propolis and honey scrapings. • Mite traps (sticky board) for 24-hour mite test • Liquid soap, water. • Small hammer, selection of nails, screwdriver, screws. • Large heavy-duty garbage bags.

Calling all Kin

Honey producers wing into town Kamloops will be buzzing this weekend as upwards of 150 bee enthusiasts swarm into town for the 93rd annual B.C. Honey Producers Conference. The event begins on Thursday, Nov. 8, with a wine and cheese reception at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre. There will also be a trade show running from Thursday through Saturday, Nov. 10. On Friday, Nov. 9, the B.C. Honey Producers will hold their

annual general meeting during the day, followed by a banquet and auction in the evening. Saturday, Nov. 10, will see 13 speakers take to the stage talking about all things honeybee — from generating buzz for the industry on social media to foodsafety in the honey business. A ticket to the full conference is $265, while a pass to see Saturday’s speakers is $135. For more information, go online to bcbeekeepers.com.

TRU and Indiennes d’Ahuntsic of Montreal meet in a quarter-final tilt on Wednesday, Nov. 7. The WolfPack won the Pacific Western Athletic Association (PacWest) championship for the second straight year to qualify for nationals. If TRU wins on Wednesday, it will qualify for a semifinal match on Thursday, Nov. 8. The gold-medal game is slated for Saturday, Nov. 10.

HE KAMLOOPS Blazers, who were running on fumes last week after a gruelling stretch of games, will play with a full tank tonight (Nov. 6) against the defending WHL champions, the Edmonton Oil Kings, at Interior Savings Centre. “Every team goes through stretches like that,” Blazer head coach Guy Charron said. “It’s a matter of how mentally tough you are.” It all started on Friday, Oct. 26, and Saturday, Oct. 27, when Kamloops played back-to-back home games against Brandon and Victoria.

The Blazers left for Seattle immediately following Saturday’s game and arrived at 4:30 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 28. Kamloops and Seattle got underway just after 5 p.m. on Sunday evening and the Blazers left for Everett when the game concluded. Respite arrived on Monday, Oct. 29, when the Blazers were afforded a much-needed day off. It was back to the grindstone on Tuesday, Oct. 30. Kamloops earned a 3-2 win over Everett and headed for the border after the game. The Blazers arrived in the Tournament Capital at about 4 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 31, and practised later that day, at 2 p.m.

Refuelled Blazers to host WHL champs Kamloops hit the road for Kelowna to play the Rockets on Thursday, Nov. 1, and turned right back around after the game, touching down in the River City at 1 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 2. Later that day, the road-weary Blazers and Prince George Cougars played in front of 5,363 fans at ISC, with the hometown team earning a 2-1 shootout victory. “If your mind tells you you’re tired, you’re probably going to feel tired,” Charron said. “You’ve got to fight it and say you’ve got energy, you’ve got gas left in the tank and just keep pushing.” It was a six-gamein-eight-night stretch in which Kamloops posted five wins and one loss, improving its WHL-

Mon Nov 19 & Tue Nov 20

best record to 17-1-1. The only defeat — 3-0 to Kelowna on Thursday — ended a franchise-best 14-game winning streak. When the Blazers and Oil Kings get underway tonight at 7 p.m., Kamloops will be without 20-year-old forward Dylan Willick, who broke his ankle late in Friday’s tilt with the Cougars. Willick will be out four to six weeks. “This is an opportunity for the young guys,” Charron said. “When there are injuries, you can show that you belong having a spot on the team.” Aspen Sterzer is expected to occupy Willick’s spot alongside Brendan Ranford and Jordan DePape. Cole Ully, Matt

Needham and Rob Trzonkowski will play on the third line, with Aaron Macklin, Brayden Gelsinger and Chase Souto making up the fourth unit. “If everything’s going well, we’ll stay with those guys,” Charron said. “If not, we’ll juggle it around.” The juggernaut line of Colin Smith between JC Lipon and Tim Bozon will remain unchanged. Cole Cheveldave, who has a league-best goals-against average of 1.94, will get the start tonight. Follow @ KTWonBlazers on Twitter for in-game updates and log on to kamloopsthisweek.com following the tilt for a summary of the night’s action.

The TRU WolfPack men’s and women’s basketball teams opened their Canada West campaigns with back-to-back games against the University of Northern B.C. Timberwolves on Friday, Nov. 2, and Saturday, Nov. 3, at the Tournament Capital Centre. TRU’s women were winners on both nights, downing UNBC 78-61 on Friday and topping the Timberwolves 83-62 on Saturday. The WolfPack men finished the weekend 1-1, dropping the opener 69-67 on Friday before bouncing back with a 73-68 win on Saturday. Both teams will play a pair of games against the UBC Thunderbirds in Vancouver this weekend.

Home-ice woes Memorial Arena was the location for a pair of TRU WolfPack losses in B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League play on the weekend. TRU’s record dropped to 3-4 after the WolfPack fell 7-4 to Selkirk College of Castlegar on Friday, Nov. 2, and 6-3 to the Eastern Washington University Eagles on Saturday, Nov. 3. The WolfPack will have time to regroup before their next game, scheduled for Nov. 16 in Cheney, Wash., against the Eagles.

Badminton bits Anica Arduini highlighted the TRU WolfPack badminton team’s performance at the second PacWest tournament of the season, held on Vancouver Island on the weekend. She placed first in the women’s singles B division. Lacey Banman of TRU placed third in the same division. Joey Chu of the WolfPack earned silver in the men’s singles B flight. TRU placed fifth overall, behind the fourth-place Vancouver Island University Mariners, third-place Langara College Falcons, second-place Kwantlen Polytechnic Eagles and gold-medal winning Douglas College Royals.

Now the real curling pressure begins Radio

N A LITTLE more than 12 months from now, the best curlers in Canada will gather in Winnipeg with more than cash on the line, more prestige than a Brier title or more legacy-building honour than a world championship. On the line is something that has become the No. 1 prize in curling — a chance at Olympic gold. Canada being the curling capital of the world brings extreme pressure to whichever two teams win the Olympic Trials and head off to Sochi, Russia, in February of 2014 with simple instructions: Win gold. As this year’s curling season swings into high gear, the focus of all competitive curlers will be to gain enough points to be included in the elite field in Winnipeg, from Dec. 1 to Dec. 8, 2013. How elite? Only eight men’s and eight women’s teams will qualify. All the usual suspects and a few fresh names will be in the running. The obvious men’s contenders are Alberta’s two Kevins, Koe and Martin, Manitoba’s Mike McEwen and Jeff Stoughton, and Ontario’s Glenn Howard. Saskatchewan’s best hope in past years, Pat Simmons, gave up trying to beat the big boys and joined Koe’s team last year as third when Blake McDonald retired. A couple of sleepers on the men’s side include Ontario’s John Epping, Manitoba’s Rob Fowler and Saskatchewan’s Steven Laycock, who was part of Simmons’ team until his skip’s departure, and now skips his own team, which has had a little bit of success on the World Curling Tour circuit. On the women’s side, Cheryl Bernard was Canada’s Olympic rep in 2010 at Vancouver and hopes to repeat. Jennifer Jones of

BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW Winnipeg is missing part of this season due to motherhood, but vows to be ready for the trials. Saskatchewan has two top contenders — Stefanie Lawton and Amber Holland — while B.C.’s Kelly Scott has a world title on her resumé. Ontario’s Sherry Middaugh, a good ol’ Saskatchewan girl who moved east to marry Wayne Middaugh, is having a super year on the cash circuit.

If you’re a competitive curler, earning a berth in the Brier or Scotties in 2013 is a big deal, but qualifying for the Olympic Trials is the créme de la créme. You might be able to make it to a Brier or Scotties 10 times or more in a 30-year career. But, when the Winter Olympics come along only once every four years, it’s a rare opportunity, ramping up the pressure for the ultimate prestige. The beads of sweat are already clearly evident on the faces of those with Olympic dreams.

KMHA’s Bandits steal a win The Scotiabank Bandits split a pair of weekend games in Okanagan Mainline Amateur Hockey Association play. The Bandits defeated Salmon Arm 6-4 on Saturday, Nov. 3, at Brock Arena. Reed Watson scored twice to lead the attack, with Aidan Sutter, Branden Toye, Reagan Milburn and Justin Vinterlik each adding singles. Sutter also picked up three assists, while Milburn’s two helpers helped him earn the hardestworking player hardhat. Bailey Monteith was solid between the pipes for the winners. On Sunday, Nov. 4, the Bandits fell 6-3 to the host Kelowna Capitals. Watson added two more goals to his weekend and Brendan Hunchak tallied once for the Bandits, who went with Zach Kohorst in net. Trey Dergousoff earned the hardhat. The Bandits and Kamloops’ two other Atom Development teams will play host to the Remembrance Day Classic tournament this weekend. The Bandits’ first game, against the Vernon Venom, gets underway at 4 p.m. at Brock Arena.

Two vans and a wedding

MM. A FERRARI? Maybe a Bugatti? Or perhaps a Rolls-Royce limo? Ah yes, you’d think an automotive reviewer would manage to beg, borrow or steal some kind of dream machine for his one and only daughter’s dream day. But, as you’ve already guessed from the photos, my posh dreams had to give way to practicality. Jessica and Nik’s “Wedding in the Woods” at Summer House Park on Miller Lake near Tobermory, Ont., this fall involved a planned beach ceremony and a reception in the rustic hall of a camping resort. It would be a wedding with a ROB BEINTEMA difference. First Friends and family would make a long weekend of it, stayDRIVE ing on-site in rental cottages, cabins or in their own campers and trailers. It was a great idea for an extended get-together, way beyond the usual ceremonies. There were visits from campsite to cottage and plenty of mingling and meals shared around different campfires every night. But, add all the logistics of a DIY wedding to the normal luggage and grocery needs of a getaway weekend and you can see why we elected to use two similar, but very, different vehicles — Dodge’s Grand Caravan and Ford’s Transit Connect Wagon. Both vehicles are capable people and payload haulers, but they approach their respective challenges from different ends of the spectrum. The Canadian-built Dodge Grand Caravan has been a competent people mover for 30 years and the addition of Stow ‘N Go seating in 2004 maximized its payload potential. The Turkish-built Ford Transit Connect, still fairly new to Canada, has served as a commercial staple in Europe for the past decade and the addition of the Wagon trim with its second-row seating maximizes its passenger potential. Here’s a brief look at both.

Dodge Grand Caravan There’s a tendency to take the Dodge Grand Caravan for granted because it’s been around so long.

Dodge Grand Caravan R/T at a glance Body style: Three-row, seven-passenger minivan. Drive method: Front-engine, front-wheel drive. Engine: 3.6-litre VVT V6 engine (283 horsepower, 260 pound-feet). Fuel economy: 12.2/7.9L/100km (city/hwy), As tested 9.5L/100km (comb). Cargo volume: 930 litres (33 cu.ft) behind third row; 2,340 litres (83.8 cu.ft.) behind second row; 4,072 litres (143.8 cu ft) behind first row. Price: $32,495. Website: dodge.ca.

The Dodge Grand Caravan R/T (left) and the Ford Transit Connect Wagon XLT, two very different vehicles with very similar goals and strengths, providing a versatile mix of passenger and payload capabilities.

But, this fifth-generation evolution of Chrysler’s minivan still boasts benchmark values and practical versatility. It starts with an affordable SE package ($19,995) tailored for Canadian families and our economic realities. Even this CVP base model comes with a 283 horsepower 3.6-litre Pentastar VVT V6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic, boasting a best-in-class towing rating of 1,633 kilograms (3,600 pounds). And, it comes with a respectable list of standard equipment including keyless entry, seven air bags, dual-zone air conditioning, power locks, power front windows, a tilt/ telescoping steering wheel with cruise and audio controls, electronic stability control, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, a four-speaker media centre 130 and a rear Stow ‘N Go third-row seat. For the kind of maximum versatility we were looking for, the SXT Stow ‘N Go model ($24,495) adds fold-intothe-floor second row buckets, along with other included upgrades.

Ford Transit Connect Wagon XLT at a glance Body style: Two-row, five-passenger commercial van. Drive method: Front-engine, front-wheel drive. Engine: 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine (136 horsepower, 128 pound-feet). Fuel economy: 9.6/7.4L/100km (city/hwy), As tested 8.3L/100km (comb). Cargo volume: 2,220 litres (78.4 cu ft) behind second row; 3,361 litres (118.7 cu ft) behind first row. Price: $26,499. Website: ford.ca.

Although the CV (cargo van) commercial version of the minivan, sold under the Ram name would seem a more natural counterpoint to the Ford Transit Connect, we wound up with the top-of-the-line R/T trim level Grand Caravan ($32,495), a model that had been deemed “the Man Van” by designers for its road-and-track styling theme and ample use of leather and red-stitched racing cues. The R/T was quickly adopted as the unofficial wedding shuttle for those last-minute runs into town for supplies. There were always extra bodies volunteering to come along on those jaunts, thanks to the sumptuous seating and, partly, I think, just to see those second-row seats unfold from under the floor, an engineering feat worthy of NASA. Chrysler Canada figures the combinations of seats positioned up or down works out to 81 different possible seating and cargo configurations. And, with everything folded into the floor behind the first-row seats, the maximum cargo volume is 4,072 litres (143.8 cubic feet), substantially more than the Transit Connect Wagon’s 3,361 litres (118.7 cubic feet). The Grand Caravan R/T is rated at 12.2/7.9L/100km (city/hwy). Our combined fuel economy average, after 500 kilometres or so of mainly highway travel with a variety of passengers and cargo loads, worked out to 9.5L/100km.

Ford Transit Connect Wagon The Ford Transit Connect may be smaller and less luxurious but my wife Mary chose to drive it “because it’s cute.” It combines Old World sensibilities and small-vehicle practicality with modern styling and a design that has finally been accepted in North America, due to rising fuel prices. It starts with the Cargo Van XLT ($25,299). X See EACH A20

This Euro-styled commercial runabout turned heads when I first reviewed it a few years ago, but has quickly gone from being unique to being ubiquitous, eagerly adopted by Canada Post, Bell Canada, courier companies and into the private fleets of many small companies. The base vehicle

is powered by a 136 horsepower 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed automatic and comes complete with air conditioning, keyless remote entry, AdvanceTrac with roll-stability control, ABS disc/drums, power front windows, heated mirrors, cruise, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, overhead console and storage, three 12V DC outlets and two-speaker

AM/FM/CD audio. As tested here, the Wagon XLT ($26,499) adds a three-passenger second-row bench along with second-row windows, rear glass with rear wiper and defrost, fog lamps, chrome grille and a four-speaker audio upgrade.

Third-row windows are available. The second-row split bench folds forward for optimized cargo room but requires some leeway from the driver and front passenger seats in order to fold fully upright.

AUTOMARKET The Best Selling Tonneau Cover in North America!

Each merits a look X From A21

It was an illustration of how two approaches — a family-focused minivan that can take away seats to maximize cargo space and a delivery van that adds seats for a more family-friendly interior — can add versatility for owners with a broad category of business and family needs. And, as in any marriage, the varying traits and characteristics of the pairing of our little one-weekend wedding fleet featured a blend of qualities that, in the end, were more complimentary than competitive. The Dodge Grand Caravan and Ford Transit Connect Wagon — both of these tests were based on 2012 models but both should carry over for 2013 with little change. And, both are worth a look.

In the end, it’s all about the music By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Colleen Rennison fronts No Sinner, making its first appearance in Kamloops on Saturday, Nov. 10. The band’s sound has been described as “bloozy.” Eric Cairns photo

ITH REVIEWERS COMPARING THE LEAD SINGER’S VOICE TO ETTA JAMES, JANIS JOPLIN AND AMY WINEHOUSE, EXPECTATIONS HAVE BEEN HIGH FOR NO SINNER. Fronted by Colleen Rennison — yes, the band’s name comes from her surname — the Vancouver band has been busy making the rounds of music festivals and gigs across North America. It will headline the seventh annual Music Makes Meals (MMM) fundraiser for the Kamloops Food Bank on Saturday, Nov. 10. Rennison also has an extensive resume as an actress and was unavailable for an interview, responding to questions from KTW by email instead. If you have seen the Bruce Willis-Michelle Pfeiffer movie The Story of Us, she was the daughter. In the television series Stargate SG-1, she was Ally in season two and then took on the role of Cassandra. She won a Gemini Award for her role in A Feeling Called Glory, in which she played the dying teenager Helen. But, music has always been important to her, so much so that, when she was a student in a theatre school in New York, she quit because she wanted to study musical theatre and was refused.

Her voice was too low and untrained, she was told. She signed a deal with Shady Records within six months. That relationship didn’t last and Rennison returned to Vancouver, created the band Little Sister and played a show with Ian Brown of the Matthew Good Band. The drummer was impressed, told his friend Parker Bossley of Hot Hot Heat the two should write songs and “Parker and I ended up meeting in January 2011 and had a few writing sessions, which now makes up the bulk of our EP,” Boo Hoo Hoo, Rennison said. She’s writing with a lot of songs for the next release, expected in 2013, with guitarist Eric Campbell, Rennison said, although “there really isn’t a formula. We’re just making music however it comes.” Rounding out the band is Matt Camirand on bass, a veteran of Black Mountain. Rennison said the band draws its musical influence from “life, mostly, and the soundtrack to the lives we live. “Whether it’s an old Lucille Bogan song, Tom Waits or Prince, we’re constantly listening to and showing each other new things. “Ian and Eric have great taste. I’m so lucky to be constantly getting mu horizons expanded.” Her own influences come from “the Tina Turners and the Otis Reddings and the Mick Jaggers and Janis [Joplins] of the world.

With your donation to the BC Cancer Foundation, you become a partner with BC’s leading cancer researchers.

Fundraiser beneﬁts food bank X From A24

“I love it when you can watch a single soul stand in front of a band and communicate so much story and emotion with nothing but their body and a microphone.” Rennison said her life may sound crazy, but “I manage. I thrive in chaos but am learning to make it a little bit more routine. “Routine chaos, what a concept — but I wouldn’t have it any other way. “I’ve always, always known I wanted to be a singer,” Rennison said. “I was something I came out of the womb with. As soon as I had any sense of self, for as long as I can remember, I’ve know that singing on a stage was where I wanted to be.” This is the first time the annual foodbank fundraiser has brought in a band from outside Kamloops.

Created in the aftermath of news reports of a dire situation at the agency, the goal has always been to highlight local musicians. This year, the show includes Solara, a new musical venture by Earthbound’s lead singer Kira Gosselin. Matt Stanley and the Decoys are also on the bill, as is the Henry Small Band. It was Small

who recommended approaching No Sinner to join the fundraiser. Small said beyond the total package of talent the band has is the simple fact it’s starting to make its name in places like New York City. The fundraiser has also benefitted through the years from support from the Blue Grotto but, this year, it was decided to move the date from a weeknight to a weekend, so it

has been moved to the Kamloops Convention Centre. Admission remains $10 plus three nonperishable food items. Tickets are available at the door, at the food bank (171 Wilson St) or at Kamloops This Week (1365B Dalhousie Dr.) Doors open at 6 p.m., and music starts at 7 p.m., a change from the previously advertised opening and start times.

Gammelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s independent toy store, located in the Sahali Mall, aims to fill that need. In place of bigger, mass-produced products, the shop focuses on toys with educational components, ethical construction and eco-friendly design. That includes science and art kits for building robots or engineering a batch of lip gloss at home, hand puppets in the shape of peacocks and moose and toys made from bamboo or recycled milk jugs. There is also a stock of complicated puzzles â&#x20AC;&#x201D; think 3,000 pieces, rather than 300 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to keep adults entertained along with the kids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always loved the better toys, like the educational toys,â&#x20AC;? said Gammel, who took over the store 18 months ago. With a background in earlychildhood education, as well as having three kids of her own, Gammel said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always gravi-

tated toward smarter toys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find this kind of stuff in Kamloops, so it was an option for other people to be able to find the stuff I like.â&#x20AC;? During its two-year life, the shop has been building a following of like-minded buyers. Gammel said she has a number of preschool and elementaryschool teachers who are regular clients and grandparents who like being able to buy presents that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require batteries. A number of high-profile toy recalls from major companies over the past several years have also given a bit of a boost to the smaller toy retailers like Gammel, who is careful to vet the companies manufacturing the playthings she stocks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was concerned about those things, too,â&#x20AC;? said Gammel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want my kids sucking on a toy thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got BPA [bisphenol A, declared toxic by the Canadian government in 2010} or PVC [polyvinyl chloride, declared illegal in many countries, but not Canada] in it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And, it is hard to find. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to know which ones are good and which arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;? Tumbleweed Toys is also set to take part in Neighbourhood Toy Store Day on Saturday, Nov. 10. The day, which celebrates independent shops across North America, will feature giveaways, face-painting and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities.

Trenchers drenched in Marianas’ music KTW EDITOR editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

As I walked into Interior Savings Centre on Saturday night (Nov. 3), it appeared as though the entire teenage-girl populace of Kamloops had decided this was the place to be. The lineup to the merchandise table — hawking all things Anami Vice, Down With Webster and Marianas Trench — was deep and the squeals from the adolescent voices were ramping up. It was a gloomy Saturday night in Kamloops (or, as Anami Vice incessantly called out, “Kamloooops!”) and the girls were about to have their night brightened by this trio of bands that caters to their demographic. On the floor, a mass of youth had already formed in front of the stage, squished sardine-tight to barricades, erected to ensure space between fans and musicians. No chairs. No assigned seating. Simply push forward and get as close as you can to the teen idols of this day. As I navigated my way through the young-

sters, I heard one girl exclaim to her friend her desire to hear Down With Webster, the secondbilled act on this night, perform a song called Rich Girls. Little did I realize, about an hour later as the band played their hit song (officially called Rich Girl$) that it was an updated version of Hall and Oates’ 1977 No. 1 hit Rich Girl. So, as Down With Webster channelled its inner Hall and Oates, this reviewer was surprisingly taken back to the halcyon days of the late 1970s via this 2009 track that had post-2000 babies singing along with unbridled passion. The circle remains unbroken, as is the case with many contemporary songs. In any event, it was clear the girls at the concert were there for headliner Marianas Trench and opening act Down With Webster. The inclusion of rapper/hip-hop artist Anami Vice was almost as colourful as the Don Johnson/Phillip Michael Thomas TV series that seems to have contributed to the rapper’s name — and served as an adequate warm-up act.

The roar that accompanied Down With Webster’s arrival was amplified when Marianas Trench started its show, with a 20-minute break bridging the two acts. Smoke engulfed the scene as a toy box rose from beneath the stage, out of which flew — yes, flew — lead singer Josh Ramsay, a charismatic frontman very much in the Jacob Hoggard mould. The band’s Face The Music tour showcased Trench’s latest album, Ever After, a 12-song effort designed to tell a fairytale story of a king, his daughter and an evil queen — with no breaks between the dozen tracks. Marianas Trench made deft use of the big screen behind drummer Ian Casselman, illustrating with creativity images to mesh with the songs they performed, of which there were many, including the album’s popular singles, Ever After, Fallout and Stutter — the latter two which were made a bit more special on this night in Kamloops. It was on Fallout and Stutter that 18 students from South Kamloops secondary and Beattie School of the Arts were

positioned above the band and lent their voices to the songs. ENCORE — Kamloops was the final stop on the cross-country Face The Music Tour. As such, the three bands engaged in much champagne-toasting and direct-from-the-bottle swigging onstage as they mingled during the end of each other’s sets. It was harmless fun, perhaps, given these are young men barely out of their teens. But, with six-yearolds wandering the concourse and most of the audience being teenage girls under the legal age to drink, it might be wise for the boys in the band to keep their public displays of imbibing (and their liberal use of profanity) backstage — or, conversely, consider churning out music that will attract a crowd old enough to responsibly bond with the drinking/ swearing bravado. Booking Marianas Trench was a concert coup for Bill Jaswal of Jelly Events and Promotions. Make no mistake — the band is big in Canada. It is, after all, playing at Grey Cup 100 with no less a legend than the

incomparable Gordon Lightfoot. Following shows by Theory of a Deadman and the Tragically Hip, the next landmark con-

cert at ISC is Eric Church on Feb. 2. Church is one of the biggest country stars in the world. His album, Chief, was named Album

of the Year at last week’s 2012 Country Music Association Awards and he was a finalist for (and should have won) Male Vocalist of the Year.

Flu clinics proceed despite hiccup Seasonal influenza clinics are proceeding in B.C. after use of one of the vaccines was briefly suspended for further testing. Health Canada announced Wednesday that Novartis-made vaccines have been approved for use in Canada and Europe after an investigation of one batch in Europe. B.C. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the suspension was precautionary and related to effectiveness, and there is no safety concern.

There are dedicated flu vaccination clinics at public health units, family doctors and pharmacists. To find the nearest clinic, use the flu clinic locator at www. immunizebc.ca or call Healthlink BC at 811. The annual influenza vaccination gives priority to higher-risk patients such as seniors and those with chronic diseases, who receive the vaccine at no charge. Seasonal influenza is a severe respiratory illness that is responsible for hundreds of deaths in B.C. each year. Because influenza is spread through sneezing, coughing and contact with contaminated surfaces, B.C. regulations have been changed to require all employees in health facilities or other contact points with high-risk groups to either get the influenza shot or wear a mask.

If I Knew

GERALD JONES Nov. 9, 1955 - Nov. 6, 2010

He Only Takes the Best Our heart still aches with sadness, And secret tears still ﬂow, What it meant to lose you, No one will ever know. Each time we pass your photo, You seem to smile and say, “Don’t cry, I’m only sleeping, We’ll meet again some day”. Ever loved and sadly missed ... Mom, Penny, Keith, Darin & Tammy

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.
