An $80-million expansion at Royal Inland Hospital has taken another step forward as Kamloops city council signed off this week on the preliminary design of a new seven-storey clinicalservices building. The building, which will include three floors of parking and commercial space at street level, will move many of the hospital’s outpatient and diagnostic services out of the main building. RIH administrator Marg Brown said the new building will bring together services that have previously been scattered around the city, including dementia and chronic-pain clinics and pre-surgical screening. “There’s bits of pieces of these located throughout the city or Interior Health, but there’s nothing in Kamloops that colates them,” she said. While filling some positions in the building will require doctor recruitment, Brown said there are strategies in place to deal with those needs, noting many services will be covered with other personnel, such as nurse practitioners and social workers, or staff who are already working in the city, but not at RIH. Brown said the building will also address major access issues, particularly for those coming to the hospital for tests

or to visit family. “It can be very challenging for them to secure parking spots and you see a large number of people trying to walk up the stairs as well, and some of them are fairly elderly that are trying to navigate and get up the stairs,” she said. The permit received unanimous approval, with many councillors cheering the project on. “If I could do the happy dance right now, I would,” said Coun. Nelly Dever, who predicted the 350 new parking spaces in the building would reduce many of the ongoing parking and congestion problems on residential streets near RIH. Brown told KTW there remains plenty of work to do to get the building to the construction stage. A business case for the building is due to the provincial government by the end of the year and it’s not clear how long it will take Victoria to approve the preliminary design. Once it is approved, “it’s actually sitting down then with the blocks of space we’ve allotted and then they’ll start putting in the detail,” Brown said. “Right now, it’s kind of like the macro plan and this would get down to the micro detail.” Once construction begins, the building will take between 26 and 28 months to complete.

Kamloops infrastructure ‘in good shape’ However, city is on board with FCM’s request for more money from Ottawa By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
As the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) calls on the federal government to find more cash for communities, big-city mayors are sharing stories of crumbling expressways, aging wastewater-treatment plants and a dire need for new infrastructure cash. That’s not the situation in Kamloops, according to David Duckworth, the city’s director of corporate services and community safety. “We’re in good shape, Kamloops is in good shape,” Duckworth said. “You look at our roads here, drive around and then go to Prince George or go to Edmonton. Our roads are pretty good.” The FCM is asking the federal government to increase the amount of cash available for municipal

infrastructure projects to $5.74 from $3.25 billion a year for the next two decades, and to index gas-tax transfer payment to communities at the same three per cent rate as health-care transfers. The current federal-funding program is set to expire in 2014. Duckworth said stable funding is important because, while Kamloops is in good shape now, much of the city’s infrastructure will reach the end of its lifespan over the next 20 years. “A typical water main lasts 50 years and, by the mid 20s, like 2025, about half of our water infrastructure will be approaching 50 years old,” he said. One reason the city is in better shape than older communities like Toronto and Montreal is because the way cities deal with their infrastructure has changed. “We’re in a better position now because we know that we need to spend more money on
maintenance as opposed to letting it fall apart like they’ve done back East or any older municipality,” Duckworth said. “Municipalities are far better off now doing that than they were 20, 30 years ago. “It didn’t matter. They just let things fall apart. We do a better job.” The City of Kamloops now has $250 million in capital projects planned for the next five years. Of that amount, about five per cent will be funded through grants. However, if more grant funding from the federal government is available, the city can keep property taxes lower, Duckworth said. “There’s no huge projects on the books right now where we really need funding,” he said. “But, we just want to make sure, through the FCM, they lobby hard to make sure there’s a stable amount of money available to municipalities when they need it.”

No change to lighting up the sky A bylaw change that would require Kamloopsians to take a $150 safety course in order to get a permit for fireworks is going back to the drawing board. To obtain a fireworks discharge permit, residents would need to complete a federally run certification course. Shooting off fireworks without the certification would result in a $500 fine. Kamloops Fire Rescue Chief Neill Moroz said his department deals with a number of fireworks-related issues each year, including people setting fire to neighbouring properties by mistake. While the department’s preferred solution was an outright ban on fireworks, the safety training was offered as a less-extreme alternative. However, city councillors expressed concern with the proposed changes, with Mayor Peter Milobar calling the extra costs “onerous. “It’s easier to get a driver’s licence for a car than what you’re proposing,” he said. Council suggested instead that the fire department look at setting up its own training course, which could be offered a few times a year, with a lower cost to residents.

These timers show pedestrians who are already in the crosswalk, the number of seconds they have left to safely finish crossing the street before the light changes. Crosswalks with Audible Signals Crosswalks at thirteen intersections in the city have voice message signals to assist visually impaired pedestrians when crossing the street. At the crosswalk, push the button to start the voice message which will then tell you which walk light is on. A “cuckoo” sound indicates the north-south walk light is on and a “chirp-chirp” sound tells you the east-west light is on. For more information about pedestrian safety, contact Colleen Lepik, Transportation Coordinator, at 250-828-3605 or clepik@kamloops.ca.

Clarity between city, BC Transit A $55,000 fix at ISC Council will pull $55,000 from its capital reserve fund to fix an electrical switch at the Interior Savings Centre that is unexpectedly failing. The switch is considered a key safety feature at the arena and allows staff to disconnect the power to the ISC’s transformer and main breaker panel. It will cost about $70,000 to replace, with the remaining $15,000 in funds coming from leftover cash from an earlier railing installation project at the ISC.

Students Discover the World By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A decade ago, the height of personal computing was “The New iMac” — those longsince-obsolete Apple desktops featuring a modern-looking LCD monitor mounted on top of a white dome. The entertainment world was still trying to figure out how to deal with pirated file-sharing online, having recently litigated Napster out of business, but facing a crop of new peer-to-peer networks. Facebook didn’t exist yet. Neither did YouTube or Twitter — and BlackBerry had just released the first cellphone capable of browsing the Internet. The tech world was a vastly different place 10 years ago, when the Kamloops-Thompson school district teamed up with the University College of the Cariboo and other local organizations to offer a conference for students thinking about a career in computers.
Originally open only to female high-school students, the conference has since grown into a two-day co-ed event for eighth and ninth graders in Kamloops and area. The 10th edition, known since 2009 as Discover the World of Info Tech, was held this week at the Henry Grube Education Centre, where 140 students got to learn more about what a hightech career looks like. Organizer Brenda Mathews, who also happens to be a computing professor at Thompson Rivers University, said the students are broken into groups and put through three sessions — software, hardware and “blender,” the latter described as an introduction to 3D modelling. “The students rotate so they all get to see these different areas,” she told KTW. “And, it’s all run by computer professionals who have donated their time for the day.” Even the lunch break is spent learning, with students breaking into small groups and sitting down for conversations with
mentors. The event is sponsored by SD73, but Mathews said students from neighbouring districts are also welcome to attend. This year, she said, there were 170 applications for 140 spots. “It’s a pretty fantastic event,” she said. “The whole goal is to match up the education with what the jobs are.” And, of course, to plan for the future. TRU gave away two $750 scholarships to students thinking about enrolling in the university’s computing program. Mathews said grades 8 and 9 are important times for students considering a tech career, because they have to decide what courses to take leading up to graduation. “If they keep math right through Grade 12, then options are open to them,” she said. “If they dump math, they’ll have to do some huge upgrading. “Even though they’re young, I think young people still think about their careers.”

GETTING WILD WITH ROBERT BATEMAN By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

T 82, ROBERT BATEMAN is still finding new things to admire in the wilderness. When he speaks to KTW on the road from Edmonton, it’s freshly fallen snow on the treetops and the great grey owls he spotted a day earlier — after more than a decade of trying — that have caught his eye. “I just take every opportunity of seeing an owl,” he enthuses between descriptions of snow-dappled pines and talk of the rest of the day’s itinerary, which includes a trip to see bison. “You’d probably rather be here than where you are.” It’s the kind of wildlife experience Bateman, one of Canada’s most renowned wildlife painters, worries is falling by the wayside. “The average young person in North

Bateman is hoping the foundation can make people realize they aren’t engaging with nature on the level they should be — and promote the benefits of doing so. He points to a movement in Japan, called forest therapy, that sends stressed-out office workers on walks through the woods to make them more productive and healthier, with lowered blood pressures and better immune systems the result. “We’re learning more and more that nature’s magic,” Bateman says. “You step into a forest and take a few breaths — it’s something special, but you don’t ever think about it. But, our cells evolve for these aromatics and we’re not getting that dose any more. It’s way bigger than anybody realizes.” His goal is to see kids (adults. too, Renowned artist Robert Bateman will be at the Horse Barn, 517 Mount Paul Way, on Thursday, Nov. 22, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Between stories about some of the hundreds of paintings he has created over the course of his long career, Robert Bateman will discuss The Bateman Foundation, his latest venture to get people back outside “smelling the pine trees.” Birgit Freybe Bateman photo

Between stories about some of the hundreds of paintings he has created over the course of his long career, he’ll discuss The Bateman Foundation, his latest venture to get people back outside “smelling the pine trees.” Headquartered in Victoria, the new foundation will feature a gallery with a rotating display of Bateman’s prints and originals, as well as a think tank dedicated to reconnecting the public with nature. While the gallery won’t open until May, the foundation is already partnering with a number of other groups
but kids, especially) reconnected with the places they live, playing outdoors and heading out into the wilderness with friends and family. “Everything would be better, and the future of Canada would be better, if every teenager had at least a week out in the wilds every year. Preferably two,” he says. “I am truly worried because those guys looking at junk food for the soul, how are they going to vote when they grow up? Are they going to vote for higher taxes to preserve nature? Will they even care?” As the foundation looks at connecting youth with nature, Bateman is also mulling his own youth-inspired idea in his art. “I’m working on an idea of a snowy owl chasing a buffalo herd, which is a painting I did when I was 13,” he says. It was around that time Bateman first got interested in art and nature. With his 83rd birthday approaching, he thinks it may be time to revisit “young Bob Bateman.”

When saying sorry one too many times makes it seem silly
I
’M THINKING I DESERVE an apology from the government of the United States. At the very least, a regret. After all, history indicates it was an American ship that brought Phytophthora infestans to Ireland, a blight that led to the decimation of the potato crop in my family’s homeland. From that came the Great Famine, during which time almost one-quarter of Ireland’s population — including some of my relatives — left on the coffin ships for an unknown future in North America. Who knows what the family’s lot might have been today had these poor farmers not been forced to flee their birthland? Maybe I wouldn’t be living in Kamloops, but back on the family land in the county of Armagh, the area where my ancestors lived. They didn’t all leave, however. Some of them died during the famine, either from hunger or from the elements, having been evicted from their farms by landlords because they couldn’t pay the rent. Maybe I’ll ask the Queen for an apology, too. After all, history shows the British government didn’t do very much to help the Irish as their crops withered and they starved. I could make a strong argument that this moment in my family’s history has had a lasting effect. After all, I heard the story from my mother and her mother and I’ve told it to my children. Yes, it’s a ridiculous scenario, but
DALE BASS Street
LEVEL no more than the recent expression of regret by our provincial government for something it had nothing to do with, an event almost 150 years ago that is only linked to the B.C. government of today by the fact that it happened in an area that eventually became British Columbia. This is not to minimize the tragedy of John Anietsachist, a member of the Hexquiaht First Nation convicted wrongly of murder and hanged in front of his friends and family. The incident that sparked this miscarriage of justice happened in 1869, when a ship wrecked on Vancouver Island near the Hesquiaht Harbour. No one survived — but Anietsachist and another man were accused of murdering the boat’s captain and his wife. Through poor translation and other errors, the men were found guilty. Britain governed B.C. in 1869 as a colony, although the British government was being urged by its navy to get rid of the colony the sailors were required to protect. The land did not become part of
the Dominion of Canada for another two years. So, why, then, did Aboriginal Affairs Minister Ida Chong attend a reconciliation feast with the First Nations group and express her government’s regret? Chong said it was done because “with all our government was doing with respect to other First Nations — with reconciliation, with recognition, with respect — we felt that this was one area that had to be dealt with before we could move forward with any other matters.” What other matters? What could Chong possibly be referring to? Is there some other group out there waiting for an apology from people who had nothing to do with an incident that happened years before in a time when we weren’t as enlightened a people as we are today? The apologies to First Nations people for the residential-school tragedy and to the Chinese for their incarceration are appropriate because it was our governments who did that to these groups. We dehumanized First Nations children and treated innocent Chinese families as if they were the enemy. We owed them apologies and more. But, when we start apologizing for things we didn’t do, it starts to seem silly and lessens the sincerity of those mea culpas that really had to be said. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com kamloopsstreetlevel/tumblr.com
The provincial government’s decision to appoint an interim mayor and council for the new resort municipality of Jumbo makes little sense, unless it is viewed through the prism of the B.C. Liberals expecting to lose the May election. The Jumbo ski resort in the East Kootenays was approved by the province earlier this year after a review process that lasted for 20 years. It has been controversial, with many First Nations and environmental groups opposing it. Cranbrook native and former NHL player Scott Niedermayer has also opposed the development. The resort may well be a good thing. It will certainly be a boost for the economy in the region, which is among the most beautiful and breathtaking in Canada. There are numerous ski resorts in the East Kootenays and they attract skiers from many distant places. However, why would the province appoint an interim mayor and council to administer a municipality that, at this time, has no residents? While the concept of a resort municipality was pioneered in Whistler (under an NDP government) in 1975, Whistler was already an established area, with residents and tourist attractions, including an operating ski resort. Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Bill Bennett, MLA for a neighbouring riding, has been an unabashed supporter of the resort proposal for years. He announced the creation of the new resort municipality this week. While he says this is nothing new, to get a municipality up and running before it is populated, it is certainly unusual. His personal backing of the resort proposal raises questions about why this was approved at this time, especially as the opposition NDP is strongly against the resort. Should the NDP form government, it is quite likely the new government will try to block any development of Jumbo. Its legal status as a municipality will undoubtedly make that much more difficult. Playing political games with economic development is risky business.

Strauss products indeed do what they claim to do Editor: In reference to a recent story (‘Strauss files lawsuit against Daily News, doctor,’ Sept. 12) and letter to the editor (‘Daily News’ lawsuit response hypocritical,’ Sept. 24): I am a research and development consultant for Strauss Enterprises Ltd., responsible for managing the company’s product-research and development activities and natural health product (NHP) licenceapplication submissions to Health Canada. The granting of a NHP licence and natural-product number (NPN) for Strauss Heartdrops earlier this year by Health Canada allows Strauss to now legally sell its flagship product in Canada and to market and advertise its use in accordance with federal NHP regulations. This is precisely what Strauss is doing. Under NHP regulations, no company is obliged to disclose evidence it submits to Health Canada in support of any of its NHP licence applications or licensed products. Such disclosure would open the door to copy-cat products and undermine any market advantage a product and/or
company may have. By withholding company-sponsored clinical trial and/or scientific research results, the data remains proprietary and, while it can be used in the company’s own literature whenever and if it desires, it cannot be used by other companies in support of their NHP licence applications. Before NHP regulations came into effect in 2004, health claims could not be made for NHPs or supplements and the manufacturer was not obliged to disclose on the product label ingredient amounts, risk or other information. In fact, it is only after a NHP licence is granted that this information can and must be disclosed, but only to the extent and under conditions of use that are sufficiently supported by evidence submitted to Health Canada for that product. The extraordinary standards of evidence and onerous and time-consuming assessment process that has led to the granting of a NHP licence and NPN for Strauss Heartdrops has provided a safe NHP for consumers that does and contains what is claimed on the product label.
Health Canada’s granting of a NHP licence and NPN for Strauss Heartdrops attests to the fact sufficient evidence supports its use in herbal medicine to help maintain cardiovascular health and help reduce elevated blood-lipid levels/hyperlipidemia in adults when taken as recommended. Literally thousands of people have claimed to benefit from taking Strauss Heartdrops for these purposes and thereby have improved their quality of life, overall wellbeing and longevity since the product was first made available more than 30 years ago. Strauss maintains an ever-growing body of anecdotal evidence in the form of unsolicited testimonials attesting to this. Since inception, Strauss has offered a 100 per cent money-back guarantee for its products. The NPN that now appears on the licensed Strauss Heartdrops product label provides further evidence-based assurance this product does what it claims to do when taken as recommended.

People will help — with help of accurate information Editor:: Re: Dale Bass’s column of Nov. 9 (‘Rather than count homeless, we should confront apathy’): Ethics guidelines seem to limit a journalist to subject matter about which they have no knowledge or experience. If people are apathetic about
the homeless, why, in 2002, was there “an overwhelming outpouring of donations?” Why do many people donate financially and in kind to the New Life Mission? Earlier this month, why did citizens of Kamloops donate to help the Army, Sea and Navy Cadets deal with a
broken furnace? If people have no plans to help, perhaps the reason is a lack of accurate information, a lack of possible solutions and a lack of inspiring leadership. Journalists self-police their own ideas. Politicians will not risk making a mistake. Journalists and politicians
will ridicule any ideas not their own. So, Bass knows of no solution, therefore the fault must be with citizens. What an appalling, stunning and shameful cheap shot at citizens. Ray Jones Kamloops

LOCAL NEWS Kamloops Mounties say there’s no reason for the law-abiding public to be worried after two masked men armed with guns burst into a Valleyview home late Tuesday night (Nov. 20). The incident, at a house in the 200-block
Valleyview pair bear-sprayed
of Valleyview Drive, was reported to police at about 11:30 p.m. — but investigators believe it actually took place an hour earlier. RCMP Const. Bernie Ward said the home’s two male occupants heard a knock at the door and looked out to see someone wearing a mask. “They thought the person was a friend playing a joke,” Ward said. “The person came through the unlocked door, followed
by another male also wearing a face mask. The suspects both had handguns and ordered the two males onto the ground.” Ward said the suspects rifled through the house and fled with what they could carry — but not before dousing the two residents with bear spray. “The police feel this is a targeted event and noted evidence of illegal activity in the residence,” Ward said.

Cactus Jack’s request heads to public The public will get a say on a capacity expansion for Cactus Jack’s Nightclub. The owners of the Fifth Avenue club want to let another 130 patrons into the premises, bringing its capacity up to 625, and have purchased the licence of the now-shuttered Rivers Night Club to offset the increase. RCMP and city staff are concerned about the move. Speaking for the RCMP, Cpl. Nick Lee told city council as it discussed the request the bar was dinged for being over-capacity last spring and should have to have a clean record for 12 months before it’s allowed the increase. The added number of patrons on the streets at closing time “compounds the issues we already face,” he said. Coun. Tina Lange said the issue is one the public deserves a chance to speak on. Cactus Jack’s owners have also requested a chance to make a presentation about what they’re doing to combat the bar flush issue. Council also gave the nod to a liquor licence applications for the Centre for Seniors Information in the Brock Shopping Centre.

If you find yourself running for cover every time someone coughs, or missing days of work due to chronic colds and flu, then your immune system may need help. Plant sterols help balance the immune system to fight chronic colds and flu, especially in the winter months when our immune systems can be under constant attack. Plant sterols are essential to the body, but like vitamin C, the body cannot synthesize them, they have to be ingested. However, due to the modern processing of food, today’s diets tend to be deficient in sterols. Immuno-Care® is a one-a-day plant sterol supplement clinically tested and proven to support the body against colds, flu, seasonal allergies, infection, inflammation and the symptoms of auto-immune diseases.

Three people were taken to Royal Inland Hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries following an accident on icy roads near Sun Peaks Resort on Tuesday, Nov. 20. Mounties, paramedics and members of the Sun Peaks Fire Department responded to the two-vehicle crash on Heffley Creek Road at 8 a.m. The driver of a southbound van lost control about eight kilometres from the Highway 5A turnoff, crossed the centre line and collided with a northbound pickup truck driven by a Kamloops man. Police say the truck driver did well to pull his vehicle wide and to the shoulder of the road, thereby avoiding a headon crash. As it was, the front corner of the van struck the driver’s door and side of the pickup truck. After the collision, the truck came to rest on a field and the van carried on for another 400 feet

Doggone variance sparks debate By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
As the year of free dog variances draws to a close, Kamloops city council found itself getting philosophical this week about its two-dog bylaw. “This is a two-dog town,” Ken Christian said. “We have said this time and time again, and where we get ourselves in trouble is where we try to back up an adjustment to our bylaw.” Christian’s comments came as council debated one of two applications to keep three dogs. Arjun Singh had a different take on the matter. “I don’t think it is a two-dog town,” he said. “We’re a threedog-with-permission town.” Dog variances have been on the majority of council agendas since the city decided to waive its $350 variance fee for successful applications until the end of 2012. At this week’s council meeting, a request by Tosha Moen was a Kamloops first. Rather than ask that she be allowed to keep three existing dogs, the North Shore resident was asking for permission to purchase a third dog to provide companionship to one of her pets. Councillors were also faced with a variance request from Brocklehurst resident Shannon Kerr, who added a Chihuahua mix named Joey to her two-dog household about a year ago, after her mother had to give it up. Kerr said she has bark collars on two of the dogs, plans to fence her yard and has tried to limit their contact with residents around her property, but her next-door neighbours claimed the dogs are a nui-
sance. “Every time we go in our back yard, these dogs start barking,” Len Benoit told council. “At night, if they go out, they seem to set up shop eight feet from our bedroom window.” The Benoits said they hadn’t complained about the dogs to bylaw services because they didn’t want to put any stress on Kerr’s in-laws, who also live at her home. Their concerns swayed the majority of council, though several argued the barking issue isn’t likely to be solved by reducing the number of dogs at Kerr’s home. “There’s still going to be two fairly large dogs and the same issues will exist as before the Chihuahua came to the house,”
Donovan Cavers said. Community safety and enforcement manager Jon Wilson said letting Kerr keep her third dog would give the city more leverage on the barking issue, because the dog variance can be voided if a pet owner racks up too many bylaw complaints. Tina Lange said three-dog variances shouldn’t be handed out in cases where there’s a neighbourhood issue. “We need to look at it as rewarding really great dog owners who are not having an impact,” she said. Council voted to deny Kerr’s application by a 4-3 vote, with Lange, Christian and Singh and Nelly Dever for the denial. Councillors Nancy Bepple and Marg Spina were absent. Moen’s request, which would have
allowed her to begin asking her neighbours what they thought of her getting a third dog, was also denied. Christian said it would set a bad precedent for council “to knowingly say that we intend to recommend to someone to violate our own bylaw.” However, Pat Wallace argued council should refybd Moen her $350 application fee as a reward for asking permission rather than forgiveness.

Kamloops has been selected as one of two pilot communities in Canada in the Mobilizing Local Capacity to End Youth Homelessness Program, a project focused on ending youth homelessness. As a pilot community, Kamloops will receive national program resources in the planning and development of a youth-homelessness strategy that will be utilized not only at the local level, but as a model for other communities across Canada. The City of Kamloops is the lead entity for Kamloops in this initiative. The 2009 City of Kamloops Social Plan established Housing and Homelessness as one of seven priority areas for the community. The consultation process identified youth at multiple points in the priority area. Furthermore, the Kamloops Homelessness Action Plan (HAP) lists “outreach geared specifically to youth� as a key engagement strategy. The focus is supported by a 2011 Social Planning and Research Council of BC report that included Kamloops in a list of communities with inadequate outreach services and support for homeless youth. The Centre for Community-Based Youth Health Research at Thompson Rivers University has also identified youth homelessness as a priority issue in our community. Kamloops as chosen based on the work of community partnerships, committees and processes focused on addressing issues of housing and homelessness, including the Kamloops Working Group on Homelessness, the City of Kamloops, the Homelessness Action Plan initiative, the Kamloops Housing Board, Changing the Face of Poverty and the Youth Services and Housing Steering Committee. “Our city’s success in applying to be one of only two pilot communities across Canada will help bolster and strengthen community efforts to address this significant and troubling issue,� Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar said. “This opportunity will allow us to develop a strategy to effectively address youth homelessness and provide a model that can be used by other communities across the country.� Added Kamloops Working Group on Homelessness aboriginal co-chair Christopher Phillips: “I have high hopes that this pilot project will improve our community’s understanding, while developing and co-ordinating the housing and services needed to address aboriginal and non-aboriginal youth homelessness in our city.�

SLEEP SNORING? APNEA? As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Often snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDA website). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals. To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep #23 through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.
Stem Cell Activator
Helps to activate naturally millions of stem cells from our own bone marrow. The increase in stem cells released from the bone marrow into the blood stream have the potential to become other types of tissue cells with specialized function. Stem cells will multiply and are able to become heart cells, liver cells or any other organ. Located everywhere in our body, stem cells are even under our skin layered between the epidermis and dermis. This is why an increase in stem cells under our skin may help to create a more youthful cell that would replenish elastin and collagen and thus may make us look younger. If our bone marrow does not produce enough stem cells this can result in many illnesses, especially a weak heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, in fact all healthy functions of our body are decreased. Sufficient stem cells in our body have a great potential of self-repair and the ability to rejuvenate tissues. It does not contain live human stem cells as these can only be transplanted by surgery and are subject to immuno-suppressant drugs to avoid graft rejection. Naturopathic Doctor summarized his experience in writing after using this Stem Cell Activator: Used for all organ and tissue damage, heart attack damage, osteo-arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic brain injury, muscular dystrophy, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, lupus, spinal injuries, and other diseases and tissue damage. The results have been #63 very satisfactory to us and to the patients and the time varies with different patients depending on the extremity of the damage. Women witnessing the effects of Bell Stem Cell Activator: Women looking for antiaging help! We all want to slow down aging. After using a bottle of Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 my skin seemed smoother and brighter. My hair looked healthier. It seems to have a cleansing effect. I’m delighted. Leona McCormick, 50, Clgary, AB All around healing effect! The first thing I noticed after starting Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 was that my skin feels firmer and stronger. My friends commented that my skin looks more vibrant. My doctor at my yearly physical told me that my blood pressure is significantly lower. Many good things are happening.

Lighting up the season in downtown Kamloops
T
HE HOLIDAY season downtown kicks off tonight (Nov. 22) with the Lights in the Night Christmas Party, which runs from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sponsored by the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association, it’s a night when merchants offer sales and special offers, hold appreciation events and do what they can to get everyone into the Christmas spirit. The merchant-party stroll sees stores offering chances to win prizes every three minutes for three hours. Prizes range from giveaways and products
to gift certificates. By the end of the night, 60 prizes will have been given out. Shoppers can pick up their winnings at the information kiosk at 340 Victoria St. In addition to the draws, there will be a street party at the intersection of Second Avenue and Seymour Street, with carolling, hay rides with Erin Valley Stables, entertainment, crafts and games. BC Hydro’s Community Outreach Team will be on site, along with the Kamloops Brain Injury Society, which will be doing brain-challenging
activities and giving away items. The Kamloops and District Elizabeth Fry Society will have hot chocolate and children’s activities. Kamloops Princess Parties will also be there with goodies, games and fun. The highlight of the street party is the annual Christmas Tree lighting at 6 p.m. at St. Andrews on the Square, with Mayor Peter Milobar doing the honours, followed by a spectacular fireworks show. As you wander downtown, you’ll encounter elves — courtesy of Dominion
Lending Centres — handing out candy canes. The Desert Sounds Harmony Chorus Carolers and Thompson

To start it off, Santa can be found sound asleep at Kamloops Square, waiting for his official wakeup call at 10:30 a.m. After that, parade floats and marchers get ready for the 11 a.m. start of the annual event. The parade route starts at Second Avenue and Victoria Street and heads east to Sixth Avenue. Bring your letters for Santa as Canada Post will be collecting them along the route. More information on the downtown celebrations can be found online at christmastown.ca.

COMMUNITY
Credit union angels help others Valley First Credit Union’s Kamloops branch is launching an Angel Tree program. Until Dec. 8, the branch at Victoria Street and Second Avenue will display a decorated Christmas tree with angel ornaments, each representing a child, youth or senior in the community. Members of the public can take an angel from the tree and return it with a new, unwrapped gift. All gifts and donations will be delivered to the Kamloops Food Bank and Outreach Society, Kamloops Boys and Girls Club and the Kamloops Seniors Outreach Society. In addition to selecting an angel, people can also select a Feed the Valley tag from the tree and return it with a non-perishable food item or cash donation. “The holidays can be a tough time of year,” said branch manager Donna Erickson. “At Valley First, we have a reputation as a people-minded credit union that really helps make a difference in our community. When it comes to the holidays, there can be a lot of pressure. Our Angel Tree program helps ease some of that pressure and make the festive season a little more enjoyable.” The Angel Tree program was pioneered to great success in the Fraser Valley by Valley First’s First West Credit Union partner Envision Financial. “The stats speak for themselves,” Susan Byrom, said First West’s corporate-citizenship manager. “One in five children in B.C. live under the poverty line and this year alone, B.C. food banks served over 28,000 kids. “That’s why we are happy to be spreading the Angel Tree program to the Interior. By participating, local residents have the opportunity to make the holidays brighter for families, children and seniors in our communities.”

City A&W restaurants top B.C. fundraisers Two Kamloops A&W restaurants have been honoured for placing first and second in B.C. in fundraising totals during this year’s Cruisin’ for a Cause Day. The event, an Aug. 23 fundraiser for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, saw the Columbia Place A&W restaurant raise a B.C.-best $8,825, while the Fortune Plaza A&W restaurant raised $7,699, good for second in the province. Across the country, $1.25 million was raised in support of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada and its mission to be a leader in finding a cure for MS. In total, Cruisin’ for a Cause Day has raised more than $3.3 million during the past four years to help end MS in communities across the country. “The ongoing enthusiasm and commitment to this very important cause has been outstanding,” said Paul Hollands, president and CEO of A&W Food Services of Canada. “On behalf of A&W, I would like to thank and congratulate all of our customers, staff, franchisees, car clubs, the MS Society and other supporters across Canada who helped us reach this significant goal.” “When our partnership with A&W began four years ago, we had no idea how much Cruisin’ for a Cause would grow, or how much impact it would have in communities across the country,” said MS Society of Canada president and CEO Yves Savoie. “This year, over 750 A&W restaurants teamed up with us to make this day a success and help us raise awareness and funds on behalf of Canadians living with multiple sclerosis.” A&W restaurants across Canada helped raise funds through the sale of cut-outs, customer contributions and donations of $1 from every Teen Burger sold on Aug. 23. Cruisin’ for a Cause raised funds and awareness of multiple sclerosis through a variety of events, including classic-car gatherings, retro music, carhop service relay races and Great A&W Root Bear visits.

Kids,

Dear Santa,
JH: It has been a few years that the U.S. has talked about being selfsufficient or self-contained in oil and people have questioned whether that includes Canadian oil or not. If that is a reality, then that increases the need to for Canada to get to tidewater with its oil. Our No. 1 export in Canada is oil â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and 99 per cent of it is going to the U.S. right now. TF: Federal NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair was just in town. He says pipe the oil to the East and refine it in Canada, absolutely no way to Northern Gateway. Your response? JH: I think there is value to moving oil to the East Coast and there are a number of possibilities there. The value of the Northern Gateway project is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most economical access to the Pacific Rim. TF: What about refining oil in B.C.? JH: As a pipeline company, we can move any oil product, refined or not refined. So, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re indifferent. If it does make economic sense to refine oil in British Columbia, then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re quite comfortable with that. TF: A lot of the opposition relates to crude-oil tankers. Is that the biggest obstacle or is it the overland route? JH: We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe tankers are the toughest challenge. It may be perceived by a lot of individuals that that is the issue, but we are creating a world-class
TF: B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake has described Enbridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s testimony at federal hearings in Prince George as â&#x20AC;&#x153;long on promises and short on solid evidence.â&#x20AC;? Your response? JH: I was quite surprised with his comments. We could not have been more forthright in our answers that day or provided any more detail. There is a process here. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have all the answers today and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretend to. If we were to get a positive recommendation from the joint review panel (JRP) at the end of next year, we would still have hundreds of millions of dollars to spend from today until we put a shovel in the ground. We are continually evolving the project and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it works. You take enough information to the JRP to prove itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the economic interest of Canadians and to prove that you can build this pipeline in an environmentally sustainable, safe way. That being given, you refine that down more. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at a corridor thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a kilometre wide right now, which is normal for the JRP process. If you get approval, you narrow it down to a 25-metre corridor, do more engineering studies, more studies in the field, until we can say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Here is exactly where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go and how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to build it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; TF: There has been discussion about the impact on caribou migration, one of many wildlife issues. JH: We look at all species at risk and caribou is one species where we have made a lot of effort and hired experts to work with us. The majority of the pipeline is actually going along already disturbed land. A lot of it is due to logging and pine-beetle kill. What we will do where there are cariboumigration areas is actually improve the land from where it is today and make it more conducive to caribou. X CONTINUED ON A25

‘We will actually create a friendlier environment for the caribou . . .’ X From A24
TF: The issue wildlife biologists talk about is that all resource development opens up and changes the whole ecology of the area, increasing access for moose and predators like wolves. JH: You don’t want to open up land because the caribou are easier targets as prey. More than 70 per cent of the pipeline route is actually along roadways used for taking down beetle-killed timber or other logging. Those clear rights-of-way already exist. We will berm, we will put trees in, we will actually create a friendlier environment for the caribou than what those roads and clearcuts have done. TF: Can you give me an update on discussions with aboriginal communities?

JH: We had a 10 per cent equity offering out that ended just before Christmas and we had 60 per cent of the First Nations, split evenly between British Columbia and Alberta, who have signed on to those equity agreements. We have not released any further equity, but have ongoing discussions with a number of First Nations with regard to potential procurement opportunities once we’re in construction mode. There is about $800-million worth of goods and services along the pipeline construction in British Columbia alone and we feel probably $300 million of that or more can be provided through First Nations communities. We’re having ongoing discussions with regards to education and skills training. We have already offered training to First Nations and, of course, they will be trained well before we get approval and will be off doing something else. But, we hope they will come back and work for us.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Christmas is coming — ready or not
T
HERE ARE MANY joys to the holiday season and yet many people feel stressed, lonely, worried, isolated or depressed more at this time of the year than any other time. The excesses found now can further separate those who have and those who have not — and there are temptations to over-indulge with alcohol, unhealthy foods and activities we feel “obligated” to participate in rather than ones we look forward to. If you are one of those people who dread the entire December season (and lately, Labour Day to New Year’s Day), then it is time for you to do something different from what you you have done in the past. There are many ways to help you cope with the stresses and strains of the season and we have some here. The theme of all of these tips is to take charge of how you feel, how you behave, what
you think and your attitude. Refuse to allow old patterns, beliefs, family members or “duties” to decide these things for you. • Set a budget and make sure that you do not overspend, even if you are unable to get the “perfect” gift this year. • Use your imagination to find creative gifts rather than expensive ones • If you have extended family that like to use gatherings at the holiday season to fight, argue or drink too much, cheerfully decline invitations to attend those gatherings. You need not be rude or judgmental, but many people have a blissfully peaceful Christmas alone and visit family just before and after the actual holiday. • Get plenty of rest. Prioritize and schedule your activities.
We all have things that we are required to do, but if at this time of the year, you need not feel pressured to do something if you really feel it is too much for you. • Christmas is the time of the year with the fewest daylight hours. Some of the “down” feelings at Christmas may be a mild seasonal affective disorder unrelated to the holidays themselves. You need to get as much sunshine as you can. • Although it is the season for treats and excesses, maintain selfcontrol. Be sure to get plenty of exercise, avoid the junk foods and eat regular, healthy meals. • Remember to live in the present. The past is what it was and, if you have painful memories associated with this time of year, is it really necessary
to re-live them and have that old history create your present reality? Start new traditions to look forward to rather than have painful memories to look back on. • Alcohol is a depressant and so is over-eating, in its own way. Christmas and holidays have been moulded into an excuse to over-indulge, but you can decide to maintain control over your choices. Christmas is only four weeks away but, if you start to think about and plan your path through the emotional landmines of the season, you will be more in control of your life and will realize there is much to enjoy about the season. Every Christmas, we try to bring you at least one inspiring, feel-good Christmas story and we are on the lookout for more this year. If you have a story you would like to share, email it to Kamloops@ cmha.bc.ca — because we always love to hear from you.

Gaza: Another pre-election war?
L
ET’S BE fair — there does seem to be some sort of pattern here, but it is not very consistent. Five times in Israel since 1980, a right-wing government has called an election without launching a complementary military operation. The right lost two of those elections outright (1992, 1999), more or less tied two others (1984, 1988) and won only one of them decisively (2006). On the other hand, critics of Israel point out, three times since 1980, right-wing Israeli governments have combined an election campaign with a major military operation against some Arab or Palestinian target. This combination, it has been argued, yields decisive electoral success for the right. Menachem Begin’s government won the 1981 election three weeks after carrying out a dramatic attack on the Osirak research nuclear reactor that France had sold to Iraq. In the view of most outside observers, the reactor, which was closely supervised both by the French and by the International Atomic Energy Agency, was not
GWYNNE DYER World WATCH suited to the large-scale production of enriched uranium and posed no threat to Israel, but the attack was popular in Israel. Ehud Olmert’s coalition launched the Cast Lead onslaught against the Gaza Strip in December 2008 and January 2009. The three-week campaign of massive bombardments and some ground incursions left 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis dead. The election was held a month later and Binyamin Netanyahu emerged as the leader of a new rightwing coalition. So, here we go again, perhaps? Netanyahu is still the prime minister and the next elections are due in January. What better way to ensure success than to go and bash the Palestinians again? A week later, with 86 Palestinians and
three Israelis dead, his re-election is assured as Israelis overwhelmingly support the current military operation. That’s the case that is made against Israel. Does it hold water? Well, actually, it doesn’t. Begin’s attack on the Osirak reactor in 1981 may well have been an electoral stunt, although he was clearly paranoid about the possibility of a nuclear weapon in Arab hands. But, Olmert, though undoubtedly a man of the right, was not leading a right-wing government in 2008. He was the leader of a new centrist party, Kadima, that had been formed by defectors from both the right-wing Likud Party and leftwing Labour. Moreover, Olmert had already resigned in mid2008 over a corruption scandal and was merely acting as interim prime minister by the time the Cast Lead operation was launched in December of that year. If it was an electoral ploy despite all that, it didn’t work. It was the right that actually won the election in early 2009 and formed a government led by the Likud Party’s Netanyahu. It is equally hard to believe Netanyahu is seeking electoral gain
by attacking Gaza this month. Every opinion poll in Israel for months past has been saying that he is going to win the January election hands down. For him, all the risk of Operation Pillar of Defence is on the downside — a major loss of Israeli lives in the campaign, while unlikely, could only work against him. Netanyahu, cruising home to an easy electoral victory in January, had absolutely no need for a little war with the Palestinians. Indeed, his strategy of continuously shouting “wolf” about Iran and its alleged nuclear weapons program has succeeded in distracting international attention from the Palestinians, leaving him free to expand Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank unhindered. Similarly, the Hamas leaders who rule Gaza had no interest in triggering a military conflict with Israel. They had every reason to believe the sweeping political changes in the Arab world were strengthening their position internationally and they had no need to remind Arabs of their plight. So, how did this idi-
ocy happen? Another cock-up, of course. Hamas has been trying to maintain calm in Gaza and extend a ceasefire agreement with Israel, but it has little control over various radical jihadi groups who build popular support by making utterly futile rocket attacks on Israel. Even if they kill a few Israelis, so what? How does that serve the cause? Hamas faces the permanent political danger of being outflanked by more extremist rivals, so it cannot crack down too hard on the jihadis. Israel, fed up with their pinprick attacks, was looking for somebody to punish and, since it couldn’t locate all the jihadi leaders, it decided to assassinate Ahmed al-Jabari, the head of the military wing of Hamas — even though that was bound to end the ceasefire. So, Hamas then fired a few of its own rockets into Israel and Israel retaliated massively and we were off to the races once again. A complete cock-up and a pointless waste of lives. But, since the miniwar doesn’t really serve the purposes of any major player, it will probably be shut down again fairly soon. gwynnedyer.com

VERNON (VERN) ALLEN WALKER
Of Kamloops, BC
January 6, 1933 to November 15, 2012 With heavy hearts we regret to announce the sudden, yet peaceful passing of Vern Walker on November 15, 2012 at the age of 79 years old. By his side was his compassionate, loving wife of 60 years, Anne Walker and loving daughter Pam Jeffries. Vern suffered a short struggle with lung disease in the calmest manner possible. He is survived by his soul mate and loving wife, Anne Walker (Marshall); Children: Glen (Janice) Walker of Grand Forks, BC, Pam (Jerry) Jeffries of Kamloops, BC, Pat (Deb) Walker of Grand Forks BC. Grandchildren: James (Cassandra) Jeffries, Laura (Chris) Jeffries-Roy, of Kamloops, BC, Chantry (Sharon) Walker, Amber (Chris) Esovoloff of Grand Forks, BC, Clint (Ashley) Walker of Vernon, BC. Great-granddaughters: Nevaeh and Aeidia Roy, Kaitlyn and Cheyenne Esovoloff. Brother & Sisters: lan (Mary) Walker, Eileen Schultz, Beverly Degner, Shirley (Ron) Olson. Sister in-law: Elaine Pera, Brothers in-law: Art Marshall (Marie), Robert Marshall. Other relatives: Many dear friends, nieces and nephews including Lynn, Kim, Sue and Kelly. Predeceased by: His parents, Fred and Mary Walker. In-laws: Robert and Helen Marshall. Brothers in-law: Herb Schultz, Harold Degner, Lenard Pera. Vern was born January 6, 1933, to one of the early settlers of the Surrey area, where he grew up and attended his school years. He met his sweetheart Anne Marshall in October, 1951, and married her on November 21, 1952. For many of the early years of their marriage, Vern worked on road construction crews. During those years, they had their three children Glen, Pam and Pat. In 1965, the family moved to the Valleyview area in Kamloops. They also cared for their nieces Lynn, Kim, Sue and Kelly for five or six years. They were well known as a helpful, kind and welcoming couple who always had open doors for anyone in need. Once the kids were grown, they moved to Brock Estates in 1979, where they made many special friends. Vern spent most of his working years as a semi truck driver for (Chapman Freightways) Motorways until he retired in 1992, receiving a 26 years of safe driving award. In his retirement, he and Anne enjoyed endless great traveling trips. Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, was a frequent stop where they met many wonderful local families. Throughout all their years together, they enjoyed many camping trips with their friends, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Vern was a jack of all trades and perfectionist handyman, doing many jobs for friends and family over the years. He never truly retired, he always had a job to do – a day was never wasted. His weekly lotto purchases were legendary up until the day he passed. He was an amazing storyteller of many life-long adventures and lessons that he lived daily. He was enriched with much wisdom, many experiences and love for his life, especially sharing it with his dearly loved wife, Anne. The love they shared for each other is truly one of a kind – the purest, most connected love I have ever seen. Vern and Anne celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary on September 2, 2012, surrounded by a wealth of loving family and friends. Gramps was truly a very wise, kind, gentle and nurturing soul with a life lesson in every sentence he spoke. His calm caring nature, love and hard working ethics, made a lasting impression on all that knew him. Those whose lives he touched, who are countless and all around the world, will forever hold a special place in their hearts for him. Like Gramps always said, “There is no such thing as a stranger, they are just friends you have never met”. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren will never forget, and carry on his special wit, teasing and constant Spanish lessons. Adios Senor, until we meet again. A celebration of life will take place on Saturday, November 24 from 2:00 - 5:00 pm in the Dogwood Room at Cottonwood Manor, 730 Cottonwood Ave. Kamloops B.C.

LEE PASEMKO June 15, 1972 ~ Nov. 23, 2009
Born in Dungiven, Ireland, on March 30, 1931, Jim came to Canada in 1952, and made his home in Toronto where he met and married Joan. In 1967, Jim and Joan moved to BC where they settled in Ashcroft. Jim worked for many years at Bethlehem Copper, until a workplace injury forced his early retirement. Jim and Joan lived in Clearwater and Kamloops after his retirement, where they were devoted members of the Catholic Church communities. Jim and Joan returned to Ashcroft in August 2012, where Jim was happy to be “home” again. Special thanks to the home support team in Kamloops and Ashcroft, who provided care for Jim over the last few years. Their support enabled Jim to stay in his own home surrounded by all he loved. Thank you as well to the staff at Ponderosa for their care and support for Jim during his final days. Their compassion for Jim and his family was deeply appreciated.

Stone gathering no moss Blazers play two at ISC I’m looking into.” Stone is not quite sure yet, but she might decide to study biology or health sciences, with an eye on a career in physiotherapy. If she does qualify for worlds, Stone will continue to train at longer distances. (Yes, that was her circling McArthur Island with a grimace on her face, wishing she was on the fast track at Hillside Stadium). Should worlds not pan out for the budding track star, she will take a muchneeded break — albeit a short one — before turning her focus to the indoor season and the distances she prefers running. If she does get some time off, Stone might struggle to keep herself busy. At this point, there’s only one thing on her mid — “Track. There’s no time for anything else.”

ALA, PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO ENVY YOU. At the provincial cross-country championships last month in Abbotsford, Kala Stone of Kamloops ran to gold in the 16- to 19-year-old junior division. Here’s the kicker — at age 17, she is still eligible to compete in the youth division and doesn’t particularly like running cross-country. “It’s too long,” said Stone, a Grade 12 student at South Kamloops secondary. “Cross-country just has so many variables and I think that’s why I don’t like it as much . . . not knowing what to expect. “Also, I like to go fast.” And go fast she does. Stone won three medals in the under-18 girls’ division — gold in the 1,500m, silver in the 800m and bronze in the 4X400m relay — at the Legion Canadian Youth Athletics Championships, held in August in Charlottetown, PEI. With those results, Stone claimed No. 1 position in the B.C. Youth women’s 800m, 1,500m and 3,000m rankings. The Kamloops Track and Field Club member will have another chance

The University of Utah gave Stone a tour in October and she has an official visit lined up with Arizona State in a few weeks’ time. “It’s just about finding the school that fits me best,” she said. “I want the track team to be strong.

The second-place finisher, with a time of 18:40.87, was Emma Balazs of Prince George, sister of TRU WolfPack men’s volleyball player Nick Balazs. Like Stone, Balazs is also 17.
The Kamloops Blazers are hosting two WHL games at Interior Savings Centre on the weekend. Kamloops will square off with the Saskatoon Blades on Friday, Nov. 23, one night before welcoming the Vancouver Giants to town. Puck-drop for both games is set for 7 p.m. Kamloops sits atop the WHL standings, while Saskatoon is languishing at the bottom of the Eastern Conference’s East Division and Vancouver is last in the Western Conference’s B.C. Division. The Blazers hosted the Regina Pats after KTW’s press deadline on Wednesday, Nov. 21. Log on to kamloopsthisweek.com for the game story and follow @KTWonBlazers on Twitter for the latest on the Blue and Orange. Blazer fans who did not attend Wednesday’s tilt will have a chance to watch recent acquisition Charles Inglis in action for the first time on Friday.

Pack can earn respect with victory By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

There’s no question the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack’s basketball women are on the rise, but they need wins against toptier competition to be considered among the country’s elite. TRU will have a chance to beat one of Canadian Interuniversity Sport’s best on Friday, Nov. 23, when the Regina Cougars visit the Tournament Capital Centre. Tip-off is scheduled for 6 p.m. “This group recognizes they can play with anybody,” WolfPack head coach Scott Reeves said of his charges. “We beat Fraser Valley in the summer when they were up here and they are No. 2 in the country. It’s just a
matter of pulling it off in a [regular-season] game.” The WolfPack hung tight with the UBC Thunderbirds — the country’s second-best team last season — in Vancouver earlier this month, but lost a pair of games by a combined total of six points. Regina was the Canada West’s best team throughout the 2011-2012 campaign, finishing 20-0 in the regular season, but it faltered in the postseason. The T-Birds downed the Cougars in the Canada West final and Regina was relegated to the consolation bracket at nationals after a firstround loss to Calgary. TRU — which qualified for the conference playoffs last season for the first time in program history — is off to a solid start at 4-2.
The Cougars, at 5-1, will not go undefeated this season, but look to again be among the Canada West’s elite. “[Regina head coach] Dave Taylor does a great job of recruiting,” Reeves said of his bench-boss adversary. “He’s a good technical coach and he gets his kids to buy in that they can compete with anybody in the country. They have a little extra incentive this year that they’re hosting nationals.” TRU’s women are playing Brandon on Saturday, Nov. 24. Tipoff is slated for 5 p.m at the TCC. The WolfPack’s basketball men have the same opponents as TRU’s women this weekend at TCC, with their games to follow the women’s both nights.

$ Reeves called himself a “pretty simplistic coach” and said he won’t be altering his team’s game plan too much in preparation for the Cougars.
“It’s just about execution and fine-tuning our defensive rotation to make sure we’re not leaving people wide open and giving up easy baskets,” he said.

Hanes adapting to Cougar life By Alistair McInnis BLACK PRESS
sports@pgfreepress.com
Ryan Hanes might never have expected to suit up for the Prince George Cougars, a fierce rival of his beloved Kamloops Blazers. But, there he was on a Saturday evening at Interior Savings Centre, skating for the visiting Cougars, playing against his former team. “It was definitely weird being on the other side, but, overall, I had a lot of fun and it was good,” said Hanes, a Brocklehurst
secondary graduate. Hanes generated cheers from Blazer fans in the rink when he scored the Cougars’ fourth goal in a 5-4 shootout defeat on Saturday, Nov. 17. He might reside in the Gateway to the North — but he’s a River City guy at heart. “It was pretty loud actually,” Hanes said with a laugh. “I was surprised how loud it got.” The goal was Hanes’ first since joining the Cats last week. After reaching his new home, Hanes had one practice before making his Cougars’
debut on Friday, Nov. 16, at CN Centre, where the visiting Saskatoon Blades earned a 4-0 victory. The Cougars announced the acquisition of Hanes on Nov. 14. He joined the team from the B.C. Hockey League’s Cowichan Valley Capitals. “Dean [Clark, Cougars’ head coach] called me to come up and play and I came here and it’s been really good so far.” As former head coach and general manager of the Blazers, Clark is familiar with Hanes.
While working for the Blazers, he selected Hanes in the fifth round of the 2007 WHL Bantam Draft. Shortly after last week’s move, Clark was asked what Hanes brings to the Cougars. He called him a gritty, team player. “He’ll do whatever the team needs and that’s the kind of player he is. He’s a very, very unselfish guy who had a long career in the Western Hockey League and just one of those guys who will go through the wall and we need that.” X See KAMLOOPS A33
It might seem odd for Kamloops Blazers’ fans to see Ryan Hanes in Prince George Cougars’ colours. Allen Douglas/KTW

A quick glance at the stats will show Hanes isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a scorer. He has 41 points, 17 of them goals, in 183 regular-season WHL games. But, with 318 penalty minutes, he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shy away from other aspects of the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just hard-working, go to the corners, get in front of the net and stick up for my teammates,â&#x20AC;? Hanes said when asked to describe his play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just whatever it takes, hopefully put a
few pucks in the net.â&#x20AC;? Although he was a fan favourite and homegrown product, Hanes fell short of landing one of three 1992-born overage positions with the Blazers. In August, they opted to place him on 48-hour waivers. He eventually ended up with the Capitals.

Here comes Santa Claus KTW gets an exclusive interview with the ultimate Jolly Old Elf By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
It isn’t easy interviewing Santa Claus. Sitting at one of the tables at Desert Gardens Community Centre — Santa was there volunteering at a seniors’ program he comes to town to help with every week — he was an obvious attention-grabber. There was little Bronwen, who came up wide-eyed and in a mixture of shock and overwhelming delight. She introduced Santa to her stuffed puppy and they had an ohso-secret conversation about what might be on her Christmas list. And, there were seniors who wanted to jingle the bell on his red hat or simply get a hug. It’s hard to compete with that. However, in a rare pre-Christmas Eve interview, Santa took some time out of his busy schedule to talk about, well, being Santa. “I’ve never had a bad day,” he said of the weather he confronts not only on the big night but on those times when it’s not a hired man in a red suit sitting in the throne at the shopping mall — it’s the real thing. “It’s my magic” he said of how he keeps the weather under control. “Now, don’t get me wrong. I’ve had cold ones, but no rain and no snow.” For the annual parade in his honour, where he’ll bring it to the anticipated close as he rides his sleigh through downtown on Saturday, Nov. 24, he and Mrs. Claus come into Kamloops the night before. (Santa doesn’t live in Kamloops, as we all know.) He gets up early and is taken
to Kamloops Square, where he promptly falls asleep again, waiting for the annual Wake Up Santa event that starts the day off. “I don’t have to wait long,” Santa said. “There are hundreds of kids there. It makes you know that everything is OK.” When everyone heads off to find a spot to watch the parade, Santa usually just waits until it’s time to climb into the sleigh — but, not always. “One year, it was really cold, so Mrs. Claus and I went looking for hot chocolate. We went for a little walk and people were taken aback to see us just walking hand-in-hand down the street. “You never know when we might do that again.” In addition to the parade, Santa takes some shifts at Sahali Mall to give his helpers a break. “It’s a very sacred position to be in,” Santa said of that side of his job. And, it’s not as easy as it looks. “Kids come in sometimes and you just know they’ll get nothing or very little at Christma, but you can’t say that. “You can’t make promises, but you can’t disappoint them either. “So, I just tell them that I know there’s a surprise that will be there for them.” Never lie to a child is one of the important rules, Santa said. “Don’t ever say yes. Just tell them I’ll do the best I can.” Then, there are the times children ask for gifts it’s not even in the power of Santa to fulfill.
Santa makes his annual pre-Christmas Eve visit to Kamloops on Saturday, Nov. 24, for the annual parade in his honour. KTW file photo

“Bring my mommy or my daddy back — they died. Oh, that’s a hard one. “So, I talk to them about the good memories they have about their mommy or daddy.” Santa doesn’t just interact with the youngsters who come to visit, however. One day, years ago, he spied an elderly woman who had walked by him in the mall previously, taking a quick peek. There were no children waiting to have a chat so “with the finesse of a dance in mid-twirl —my mid-twirl, not hers — interrupted her in mid-walk. Her mid-walk, not mine,” Santa said. “With my sweet Santa smile, I said ‘Excuse me, dear, but could you do me a big favour? Could you give me a hug? Santa really needs a hug’.” They embraced and Santa noticed she was crying. “Now I’ve done it,” Santa said he immediately thought. “I’ve upset her. So, I apologized.” The woman replied she wasn’t upset at all. “She said: ‘You made me feel happy. I’m crying because I was remembering that the last time I hugged Santa, I was six years old, oh so many, many years ago. “‘Santa, you’ve made me so happy’.” Santa’s had his tough cases, too. One day, a young lad of about 12 came up and declared; “You’re not real. You’re just a big lie and I think you’re a liar.” Time for some North Pole diplomacy. “Son, you are entitled to your opinion of me and I’m sure you have your reasons for your assessment, but let me say that you look to me to be quite intelligent, so I’d like to give you something to think about,” Santa recalled telling the pre-teen. “Yes, my image is one based
Santa’s been cold on the day of his parade and, some years, snow has fallen as he rides his sleigh but, in the years Kamloops has held a parade in his honour, he’s never really encountered bad weather, he said. Mind you, living at the North Pole might give him a unique view on what could be considered inclement weather. KTW file photo
on a fable and my silly stories made up in my imagination but, you know what, son? They make people happy for this short season and, in a world of pain and misery for so many, I choose to think that that can’t be a bad thing and I can’t help but think you do.” The boy listened to him, Santa said, and his stern look softened. As he left, Santa wished him a Merry Christmas — and the boy wished Santa one, too. There was one more nontraditional Santa story he had to share with KTW. Again, it was of a time when
he was sitting in a mall near a liquor store. Santa saw a man who, if he wasn’t homeless was the next thing to it, go into the store day after day to buy a bottle. One day, the man stopped and asked if he could get his photo taken with Santa. “Well, I looked at him and I said: ‘Mikey — I knew his name because I’m Santa, of course — you’ve got a decision to make. You can go spend your money on something in a brown bag in that store or you can use it to get your picture taken with me.’ “He said he’d have the photo

taken, so he paid for it and he stood beside me dressed in stained and tattered clothes. I told him to smile,” Santa said. “He said he couldn’t because he didn’t have many teeth. I told him smile or no photo. So, he smiled. “When the picture was given to him, I tell you, he looked at it and it wasn’t Mikey in his rags standing there. I could see the little boy Mikey had been before his life went wrong. It was magic.” And, with that tale told, Santa smiled, winked — and then was gone.

The Story of the Peanut Maybe you’ve heard Santa remind you to leave some cookies and milk for him, a carrot and an apple for the reindeer — and a peanut. Santa took the time to explain why he always asks for a peanut. One year, he was flying over Africa and spotted a baby elephant standing by a water hole. The elephant looked sad, so Santa landed his sleigh and asked the little pachyderm if he was OK. “He said ‘No’,” Santa said, “so I asked what was wrong and he said he had nothing to eat and was very, very hungry.” Santa offered him some carrots, apples and reindeer food but the little elephant replied he couldn’t eat that kind of food — it would give him a tummy ache. Santa asked him what he eats and the elephant replied, “Only peanuts.”Santa used his magic to conjure up enough peanuts for the little guy to live on for a year, promising he’d be back again the next Christmas Eve with more. “So, I figure, if I can get every child around the world to leave out one peanut, then I will have sacks and sacks of peanuts every year to take back to my little friend at the water hole, enough to feed him and his family and all his friends. “So, you see that by you just giving one peanut, you have helped to save many elephants. Couldn’t that be a nice Christmas present for them? “You would be surprised at how many peanuts are left out for me every Christmas Eve.”

Brittany McCarthy auditioned twice to get a role in The Good Soul of Szechuan. For that effort, she was cast in two roles for the play at Thompson Rivers University — and that means she’s pretty much on stage all the time. As the protagonist, Shen Te, in the Bertholt Brecht play, “I have to talk a lot,” McCarthy said. “It’s exhausting. I’m pooped at the end.” The play opens tonight at the Black Box Theatre on campus and continues to Nov. 24. There are also performances Nov. 29 to Dec 1. McCarthy also plays Shen Te’s alterego, Shui Ta in the play, a story of goodness — and the search for it — that takes a judgmental look at how good people are sometimes mistreated. It’s the seventh consecutive play in which McCarthy, a fourth-year theatrearts student, has performed. “Brittany is the heart of Szechuan,” said teacher and director Heidi Verwey. The Brecht play is a challenge to mount, Verwey said, not only

physically lift myself off the couch. Just existing was like running a marathon and I was dying. After 4 months in the hospital and a few trips to the critical care unit for crashing I had enough knowledge to at least keep myself stable. One day the doctor came in and told me that they had found a node on my lung and did a biopsy and found another cancerous growth. I was now diagnosed with end stage congestive heart failure and lung cancer. Because of the lung cancer I was taken off of the heart transplant list and because of the heart condition I wouldn’t survive another round of chemotherapy. I was sent home with a prescription for my heart meds and a six month timeline as to how long I was going to live. They sent me home so I would be in familiar surroundings when my ¿nal breath was taken. Being as that I was only 20 years old, I had no intention of dying. One day I wandered into a health food store in my hometown and explained my story to the woman working. After a few tears and a heartfelt hug from her she showed me Strauss Heartdrops. I began as directed and continued to increase my dosage until I was taking 2.5ml/3x a day. After 6 months I began to be able to go for walks without seeing stars. The feeling like someone was standing on my chest started to subside. I remember the ¿rst time I fell asleep on my back - it was a small miracle because before it had felt like I was drowning. I reported to my cardiologist appointments as ordered and was stunned as I watched my improvement not only on a personal level but in a controlled environment using the best in modern equipment. I am 33 years old now and am happily living my life out on Vancouver Island and I owe it all to you and your company. You saved my life and I can never re-pay what you have done for me. There is so much more to this story but I just wanted to give you the gist of it. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Les

because of the size of the cast — there are more than 30 parts — but in the simple reality it is a difficult play to perform. Brecht was a believer in the concept of epic theatre, which requires the audience to interact with the characters and the story in a
self-reflective way. Verwey said she chose it “because I just want to have a good story and I wanted people to care about the story.” McCarthy can relate to the desire to care about the story unfolding. “I just want to scream at the way

My dentist laughs, makes a joke about discount dentists (which he is not) and begins to empty a syringe of numbing agent into my cheek and gums.

Without it, however, during my own featurelength drama, I land on the Comedy Network, where Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Raj are eating at the
Cheesecake Factory for the very first time. Sheldon considers making it his Tuesday hamburger spot and eliminating Souplantation from his weekly dinner schedule. (Soup, I consider, is probably the only viable option for my own dinner tonight). I’m in dangerous territory here. There are rules, after all, regarding the watching of The Big Bang Theory. They include never watching a Sheldoncentric episode while
eating, unless accompanied by someone who has a practical knowledge of the Heimlich manoeuvre. Today, however, I’m not only at risk of laughing out loud and choking on my own drool, but also snickering and ending up with a drill where no drill has gone before. When said drill begins to whir, however, I decide two things. First, having a root canal is unfunny enough to neutralize all risk of laughter. And, second, when I
Chef David Tombs takes the freshest local, organic & sustainable ingredients and crafts them into something truly remarkable.
get out of this chair, I’ll pick up ingredients for baked potato soup, garnished with crumbled bacon. If you want, think of it as a baked-potato milkshake.

TO THE RESCUE Volunteer members of the Kamloops Search and Rescue team underwent weekend safety training from RCMP helicopter pilot Dave McCullach and RCMP dog handler Dave Lewis Some of the training covered working around a running and or hovering helicopter, recovery operations involving injured or lost people from rough terrain or mountainous locations and working with and around search dogs tracking and following the scent of lost people.

Giving the gift of safety this year By Tyler J. MofÀtt SPECIAL TO KTW editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
Wow! December is almost here and many of us are still looking for that special gift for Christmas. Give a special early gift of safety to yourself, family members and friends. Looking for a gift that is affordable, as well as unique and different? Give a gift of safety, such as: • Smoke alarms • CO alarms • Fire-escape ladders • Fire extinguishers • Natural gas or propane alarms • Flashlights • First-aid kits • Emergency road kits • Reflective bands for the arm • Seatbelt cutters If you’re looking to spend more money, there are other gifts of safety such as: • Snow tires • Floater jackets and suits for people who venture out onto the ice • GPS satellite personal tracker • Personalized hardhats • High-visibility clothing • Safety footwear • Cellphones • New hockey helmet with face protection • Snowblower (lessens the stress on the body and heart during snow removal) • Fire sprinklers for that new home Meanwhile, throughout Canada, thousands of people are attending college and university. For many students, it is their first time being away from home for any length of time. Thousands of students will soon be returning home for the Christmas break, while other students will stay
where they are. Some of the gifts already mentioned can given to these students. Everyone in Canada needs to have correctly installed and maintained working smoke alarms inside and outside all sleeping areas, as well as on all levels of the dwelling in which they live. It’s also vital to have a wellrehearsed escape plan, with two ways out of each room and no blocked exits. Also, keeping safe from the silent killer of carbon monoxide is of vital importance. It is often referred to as the silent killer because carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, tasteless and toxic gas. Carbon monoxide is a byproduct of incomplete combustion of fuels such as natural gas, propane, wood, heating oil, kerosene, coal, charcoal and gasoline/diesel. The incomplete combustion can occur in any device that depends on burning for energy or heat, such as furnaces, room heaters, fireplaces, hot-water heaters, stoves or grills and gas/diesel-powered vehicles or engines. Carbon-monoxide alarms are a good second line of defence, but do not eliminate the need for regular inspection, maintenance and safe use of fuel-burning equipment. Always refer to the manufacturer’s instruction with regard to smoke alarms, carbon-monoxide alarms, natural-gas and/or propane alarms for additional information regarding proper installation, use and maintenance. Tyler J. Moffitt is a volunteer firefighter and emergency responder, as well as a continuous improvement advocate.

This way you move into the new year with a solid financial foundation. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, be a little more assertive this week than you’re used to being. It will take some extra reinforcement to get your point across to the people who need to hear it.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, sometimes sadness has to be embraced before the happy moments can return, Think about this for the next few days.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, picture yourself with the wind in your hair because soon you may embark on a wild adventure that will take you to different places you always aspired to see.

TRAVEL
Just another day in paradise By Lauren Kramer SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com
G
ET OFF THE PLANE IN HONOLULU AND IT’S EASY TO FORGET ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD. The ocean is that dreamy turquoise colour, the weather is sublime and the opportunities to have fun are seemingly endless. Whether your idea of paradise is swimming with the dolphins, paddleboarding among the turtles, sipping cocktails on the beach or hiking up Diamond Head, Oahu’s combination of climate, warm water and lush, tropical beauty make the living feel easy. Within 12 hours of arrival, we were on the water in a catamaran,
Dolphins cavort around the boats not far from Oahu, and visitors can swim among them, watching their effortlessly graceful movement in the water. Lauren Kramer photo
an episode of National Geographic. Around us, the dolphins vaulted out of the water, spinning and somersaulting before diving back into the depths. They performed a mesmerizing underwater ballet as they swam massive concentric
looking out for spinner dolphins. When a pod of 60 was spotted two miles from shore, we pulled on our flippers and masks and jumped in to watch their graceful movements. With a visibility of 30 feet, it was like stepping straight into
circles around and below us. Only the trickle of water slowly fogging up my mask assured me the experience was real. Later, after we’d clambered back on the vessel, a pod of bottlenose dolphins put on a second show for us,
playing, jumping and cavorting in the wake of the catamaran. A few chased the bow, moving so close we could hear their breathy exhalations as they broke the surface of the water. Their symmetry was exquisite, their movements graceful, deliberate and smooth. Our home base for a quick Hawaiian getaway was the Kahala Hotel & Resort, a property whose mere mention elicited a look of longing in the eyes of locals. Situated away from the rush and bustle of Waikiki, close to Diamond Head mountain, the Kahala somehow manages to be luxurious, classy, welcoming and comfortable — without a hint of pretension — all at once.

Beach at Waikiki beckons X From B12
One of my favourite parts is the North Shore, an hour’s drive from Waikiki, where homes are fewer, the beaches emptier and more pristine and the mountains lush and heavily forested. We peeked into the gift shops and art galleries in the charming, rustic town of Hale’iwa, and grabbed a healthy lunch at a local bakery. Then, it was on toward Waimea along a coastal road that divides spectacular beaches on one side from a thick jungle that blankets the hills and mountains on the other. We surrendered to the muggy Hawaiian heat and gratefully take a swim at Waimea Bay Beach Park. A light rain was falling but the beachgoers didn’t seem to mind. They knew that in minutes, the tropical rain will turn to sunshine — because that’s how it goes in paradise.

FAITH
Guarding subversive affairs of the heart
T
HE DAVID PETREAUS-PAULA Broadwell saga is fast becoming stale fodder for the media and getting shunted to the backburner. Once a mighty general, Petreaus’ fall from grace seems sudden, but perhaps developed over time. His letting down has affected his own reputation and family at the least, not to mention the damage it has inflicted on many others. Adultery is the breaking of the seventh commandment and, NARAYAN MITRA as such, sin in You Gotta Have God’s sight. We don’t hear FAITH a lot about sin these days. That does not mean it has diminished or ceased to exist as transgression of God’s holy law — we just don’t hear the word much. I am not suggesting we should focus on guilt and condemnation. Even our teaching about the sad consequences of sinning should be presented in the context of God’s love. We should warn people heading for hell
only with tears in our eyes, just as a preacher of yesteryears is said to have implored. We have tried to minimize sin by giving it new names. “Fornication” has been replaced by “making love” or “having fun.” Adultery has been reclassified as a “fling” or an “affair.” But, do we pause to see sin to be the serious matter it is in the eyes of God? Sin is rebellion. It breaks relationships and fellowship with God and man. Sin mars and scars the creative beauty of God that He intended for us to enjoy. Sin is bad and tragic. As such, we should hate sin and abhor evil. There has been a rapid change of climate in the way adultery is viewed in our time. Those who commit adultery are no longer considered to be in any way morally bankrupt. There is a sense that we are entitled to a good life, that we only go around once, that life is hard and that we should grab all the gusto we can get before kicking the bucket. Some might think the Bible is anti-sex, but this viewpoint is wrong. The Bible prohibits sexual relationships outside marriage but celebrates God’s good gift within marriage between a husband and a wife. Sex is more than a physical thing.
It binds two people into a close psychological and spiritual unity. By prohibiting extramarital sex, God is protecting our most intimate human relationships. Marriage relationships and our relationship with God are exclusive relationships. We can have only one God, as we can have only one spouse. In the Bible, a broken relationship with God is compared to a broken marriage. The first two commandments and the Seventh Commandment have a special relationship. Idolatry, worshipping any god other than the Lord God, is spiritual adultery. It is not surprising that, in the context of the Second Commandment, God describes Himself as a “jealous God.” In the same way, when people break the Seventh Commandment, they sin against God and also are breaking the first two commandments. God wants the best for His people and He knows we don’t always understand what that is. Sin hasn’t changed regardless of our euphemisms. The consequences of sin have not changed in spite of our accommodating attitude. Let’s not rationalize or justify our failures.
Let’s be honest enough to acknowledge the truth, courageous enough to face the facts, and spiritually tender to repent. If we pretend we are righteous when our hearts are not pure, we condemn ourselves but, if we confess our sin, God forgives us. The Gospel affirms that, even in most high-profile public cases like PetraeusBroadwell affair, redemption is possible. King David in the Old Testament is often cited as an example in this regard. Divine forgiveness does not mean the consequences of betrayal would immediately go away. David was forgiven but it cost the life of his infant son. Finally, it is possible to withstand the subtle sexual temptations that people in high places in society face. Joseph, in the court of Pharaoh, encourages us to believe it. God knows what is best and what is best is sex be reserved within marriage, the relationship of exclusive commitment. narayanmitra@hotmail.com KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.
