Call for inquiry after teen’s murder By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The family of a First Nations girl slain last week in Kamloops stood alongside some of Canada’s highestranking First Nations leaders and tearfully pleaded for a national inquiry into missing and murdered native women. “In the depth of our grief for our beloved daughter, we are comforted in the support of our leaders for continuing to take this message forward and to advocate on behalf of us and other families impacted by such tragedies,” said Matilda Fowler, whose 16-year-old daughter, CJ, was found dead in

Tentative city tax hike: $83.70 on average By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The owner of an average-assessed Kamloops home is looking at an $83.70 increase in property taxes and associated fees in 2013 as city council gears up for budget talks in the new year. Council has passed a preliminary budget for the coming year that includes a tax increase of 3.91 per cent. That works out to $65.40 extra in property taxes for homeowners with a property with an assessed value of $340,000, along with an extra $18 in fee increases for sewer service and

garbage collection. The tentative tax hike is down some from what city staff originally expected to bring forward in 2013. Director of finance Sally Edwards said last year’s financial plan had originally projected a five per cent hike — $83.67 before water and sewer rates were factored in — and still needed a $2.6-million draw from the city’s reserves. Edwards said staff was able to get the numbers down by going back through the city’s capital budget with an eye to prioritizing projects that could actually be completed. “We realized, listen, we’re not spending the money that’s in this capital budget,” she said.

“It had a very major impact on the water side and in the general fund as well.” Water rates were originally expected to rise by $27 per average household this year, but staff was able to find an extra $750,000 in the budget by pushing off some projects, cancelling some that were no longer necessary and streamlining operations. Garbage and sewer rates will, however, rise in the new year. Council has agreed to bump sewer rates up by five per cent, about $12 per household. The city is slowly stepping up its rate hike to offset the cost of a new wastewater-treatment plant, which comes online in 2014.

Garbage-collection fees will go up as well, but only for those homeowners using the largest bin sizes. For those with 245-litre bins, rates will rise by $6. Those with 360litre bins will see costs go up $22. Edwards said the city should also bring in an extra $1.3 million in new taxes from city growth. But, that leaves the city short $3.3 million if it wants to deliver the same service levels it did in 2012. Supplemental budget items — such as last year’s transit expansion — won’t come to council until Jan. 15, 2013. Among the higher ticket items on the budget are the almost $1.2-million RCMP contract costs, $1.1 in

wages and benefits and just under $1.1 million in capital projects to be funded through taxes. “Last year, we funded local roads with gaming money,” Edwards said. “That is not really what we want to be doing.” With the preliminary budget in place, council will begin public consultation on the numbers in the new year. Coun. Ken Christian urged residents not to bring wish lists with them to the budget meetings. Instead, he said, it’s time to take a hard look at city-service levels. “If they have ideas where we could cut back on those, that would be most helpful,” he said.

Will conviction affect TRU player’s status? By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A former local junior B hockey standout and the current leading scorer for the Thompson Rivers University hockey team has been found guilty of assault causing bodily harm. But, it remains to be seen whether the criminal conviction will affect his status on the squad. Colten de Frias was convicted on Tuesday, Dec. 11, in Kamloops provincial court, following a two-day trial in October. The 21-year-old, who played out his junior-hockey eligibility last year as one of the offensive leaders on the Kamloops Storm, was arrested in the earlymorning hours of Oct. 23, 2011, after an altercation outside a downtown bar. Court heard de Frias punched 20-year-old Andrew Giddens twice in the face in a Victoria Street parking lot, breaking the man’s jaw, splitting his lip open and

causing damage to four teeth. “I have an email in to the league president just to see because we do have a policy pertaining to conduct,” TRU WolfPack hockey coach Chris Hans told KTW when asked if the legal trouble will impact whether de Frias remains on the squad. “I just wanted to consult with our league first. The offence occurred prior to him joining our hockey team. I really want to consult with the league and Ken Olynyk before we do anything. It’s unfortunate all around.” De Frias claimed at trial to have been standing up for a female friend who he claimed had been pushed by Giddens earlier in the night. He also claimed he was acting in self-defence. Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleavely dismissed both of those notions, calling de Frias’ version of events “unreliable” and “fabricated.” “The foundation of

Colton de Frias was a member of the junior B Kamloops Storm when the assault for which he was convicted took place. KTW file photo

the defence case is so weak,” Cleavely said. “Mr. de Frias, likely because of his excessive alcohol consumption, was in a foul mood and he lashed out at Mr. Giddens for no justifiable reason.” The WolfPack play in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League, a sixteam circuit that includes the Eastern Washington University Eagles, who play in Cheney, Wash. “That was one thing

that came to my mind, also, was being able to cross the border,” Hans said. “I’m actually a parole officer by trade and there are ways to do it. If they’re going to be supervised, the U.S. will often grant the request. There are ways to work around it. Generally, the concern the U.S. has is with the severity of the offence and the likelihood of the person re-offending in the States.” Noting the club is on a break until Jan. 5, Hans said there is plenty of time to determine what sanctions, if any, might be imposed on de Frias. Sentencing is set for Jan. 17. Crown has indicated it will be seeking compensation for Giddens’ medical costs as part of de Frias’ punishment. Through 11 games this season, de Frias leads the TRU WolfPack in scoring with eight goals and nine assists. He was the Kamloops Storm’s leading scorer last year, tallying 95 points in 48 games.

Video spurred investigation; driver suspended with pay By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

BC Transit will not meet ridership goal The B.C. government’s ambitious goal to double transit ridership by 2020 is not going to be met at the current rate of growth, according to Auditor General John Doyle. Doyle’s audit of BC Transit’s efforts to meet that goal found that, since it was set in 2008, ridership increased by 6.9 million by last spring, the latest annual total available. The original target was 9.4 million by that time and the gap is expected to grow further by the 2014-2015 fiscal year. The provincial transit plan was unveiled early in 2008 by former premier Gordon Campbell and then-transportation minister Kevin Falcon. The B.C. government pays 47 per cent of costs for BC Transit service in partnership with 58 local governments in B.C.

the bus to take a picture of the woman, who was upset. A verbal confrontation between the woman, the driver and Smith — who videotaped the conversation — ensued. During the video, the two riders can be heard pounding on the doors, demanding to be let out. As of the morning of Tuesday, Dec. 11, the video, titled “Kamloops BC Transit Driver Kidnaps Passengers”, had nearly 60,900 views. Both BC Transit and FirstCanada are conducting investigations. Burton said there were two other passengers on the bus during the confrontation. While a male passenger contacted Kamloops Transit when the story first broke, Burton said

transit officials have been unable to reach him since. The other passenger, a woman, has not yet come forward. Burton said investigators don’t feel they can come to definitive conclusions without hearing from the witnesses. “This is someone’s career and reputation and we’re hoping they can come forward and better understand the circumstances,” Burton said. While BC Transit was originally expected to release a report on the incident on Wednesday, Dec. 12, Burton said it will likely be some time before any recommendations and findings are made public. “It’s more complicated than it seemed at first blush,” she said.

BC Transit investigators are hoping two witnesses to an exchange between a bus driver and two of his passengers — an exchange that ended up on YouTube — can shed more light on what happened at the Thompson Rivers University transit exchange on Dec. 4. Transit spokeswoman Meribeth Burton said investigators were in Kamloops on Monday, Dec. 10, but left the city with questions still unanswered. “They just feel like there are two pretty different stories and they’re hoping the independent witnesses can get in touch with Kamloops Transit so we can talk to them,” Burton said. “We understand this

has become quite a public matter and some people would prefer to stay silent in the background, but I feel we need to have a full picture of what happened in the minutes leading up to this.” The bus driver, a nine-year employee of FirstCanada ULC, the contractor for transit services in Kamloops, is accused of holding two of his passengers against their will at the TRU exchange. According to a posting on YouTube by TrueLiesCanada, since identified as Bradley Smith, the driver missed a young woman’s stop as well as the next stop on the route. After pulling into the TRU exchange, Smith said the driver locked the bus doors and came to the back of

Fisheries joins river search By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans is now involved in the search for the body of Courtney Buck in the North Thompson River near Clearwater. The body of Buck’s husband, Skye, was recovered when the couple’s car was found by an RCMP underwater recovery team on Tuesday, Dec. 11, and pulled from the river in four meters of water about 20 metres from the shoreline. The couple died when their car left the highway at Wolf’s Corner on Sunday, Dec. 9, went down a 30-metre embankment, hit a tree, then entered the water. As of Wednesday, Dec. 13, an RCMP dive team was using sonar equipment in areas that are too dangerous for the recovery team to enter due to the fast current of the North Thompson. Mountie air services have also been sent to the site to conduct an aerial search, while the fisheries department is patrolling the river in boats. The tragic weekend deaths of a young married couple who taught in Clearwater have been amplified by the fact the wife was in the late stages of pregnancy.

The two, described by friends as high-school sweethearts, taught in the community — Skye at Clearwater secondary, where he taught math and was a learning-assistance teacher, and Courtney at Raft River elementary, where she taught kindergarten and Grade 1. Skye’s parents, Brent and Tracy, also teach at the secondary school. Skye graduated from Clearwater secondary in 1999. Courtney graduated from the same high school in 2000. Skye would have marked his 31st birthday on Tuesday, Dec. 11. His wife was 30. Kamloops-Thompson school district superintendent Terry Sullivan spoke with KTW about the tragedy: “We dispatched critical-incident teams to the two schools in Clearwater. “Both Skye’s family and Courtney’s family are longstanding Clearwater families. “Skye’s mom and dad are Brent and Tracy Buck, who are both teachers at Clearwater secondary and have been for many years. Over the years, they have touched many lives throughout our system.

“Our hearts go out to these families at this time of sorrow and pain. “These were two great young teachers who were just beginning their careers. “They are a great loss to their families, their schools and community and to the KamloopsThompson school district.” Clearwater RCMP said officers were called to the crash about 17 kilometres south of the community just before 7 p.m. on Dec. 9. Police said it was apparent at the scene a northbound vehicle had lost control, left the highway and gone down a 30-metre embankment into the North Thompson River. Debris indicated the vehicle struck a tree at some point. Due to the lateness and poor lighting conditions, an initial attempt to find the vehicle was unsuccessful. Skye and Courtney were graduates of Thompson Rivers University, where Skye was a star basketball player, named BCCAA Player of the Year in 2004, an all-star on the CCAA Tournament Championship first team and a CCAA All-Canadian. He played professionally in the English Basketball League in 2005.

How does one nightclub’s request differ from another?

ALL ME CONFUSED. This week, city council agreed to let Cactus Jack’s Saloon expand when, just a year ago, it rejected a similar request from nearby Rivers Nightclub. So, rather than having two viable establishments in the downtown catering to those who view a good time as going to a bar, having a few drinks and listening to some music, one venue gets to go to 625 occupants from 495. Let’s go back to November 2011, when Rivers wanted to increase its occupancy of 210 to 380. The owners of the Lansdowne Street venue said it needed to grow to stay competitive with other bars and pubs in the area. Coun. Marg Spina, speaking against the request, said she wanted to see security problems and compliance with police and liquor regulations be met for a period of time before she would be comfortable with the expansion. Council was told 10 per cent of the RCMP’s overtime bill in the first eight months of 2011 went toward the late-night bar flush. Council received a letter from the local police saying the club was considered the biggest drain on police resources, compared to others downtown, and noted the club’s licence was suspended in August 2011 for one week due to liquor infractions. “Increasing the capacity to an establishment that is already disproportionately drawing police resources will undoubtedly further skew this demand, opening the door for more

LEVEL drunken and disorderly conduct in the downtown core,” the letter stated. “This is not the image we hold for Kamloops.” Then-club operator Angela Jackson told council she had brought new measures in place, including a device to scan patrons as they enter, more lighting in the alley behind, video security and accredited security staff to address the issues. The request was still rejected. Move to this week and Cactus Jack’s was in front of council, asking to expand, acknowledging a liquor violation it is challenging — the allegation is it was more than 100 people over licensed occupancy in April — and listening as the RCMP talked about the venue location being the address that sparked 90 complaints this year. Council did hear some of those calls to the police came from the nightclub staff and others might have involved folks whose bad behaviours might have begun elsewhere downtown, but not noticed and reported until they got to Cactus Jack’s. And, council heard from Sgt.

Darren Michaels, who said it’s difficult to predict if the number of incidents at the Fifth Avenue location will increase as does its occupancy, although the officer attending council did acknowledge it as a possibility and that there would still be a draw on police resources. In the end, only Coun. Tina Lange voted against the expansion, citing concerns about noise and its impact on nearby hotels and residences. What does this mean? In April 2013, Cactus Jack’s occupancy will be almost as large as that for Sagebrush Theatre or just 100 people fewer than the entire Kamloops Convention Centre, set up in theatre style. And, all those people will come pouring out late at night. (Here’s a suggestion: Require headliners at clubs to hit the stage at a reasonable time, rather than the 11 p.m. or later many feel is oh-soappropriate. But, I digress.) That leaves the downtown with one massive venue and another empty building that, now stripped of its liquor licence, will probably sit empty for some time to come. How that helps the downtown is beyond me. How creating a massive venue for drinking and partying helps the downtown is also beyond me. Whatever happened in the past 11 months to make council view this application differently than it did the one from Rivers is completely beyond me. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

At first it was only supposed to last until the American Thanksgiving weekend. Then it was to end by Dec. 1, then in time for Christmas. Increasingly, it seems like the NHL owners and players are unlikely to reach an agreement on a collective agreement before the new year, if at all. Ominously, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said if the league can’t get the players to agree to a new contract in time to salvage a 48-game season, there won’t be one and the dispute will fester. What’s a hockey-starved fan to do? Contrary to popular paranoia, the country’s economy hasn’t collapsed. Nor have those of cities whose NHL arenas are dark and shuttered. In fact, the Bank of Montreal’s deputy chief economist said employment in the accommodation and food services industry in Canada actually increased in November. The attempt by various TV networks to fill their scheduling void with rebroadcasts of “classic” games has been little more than a curiosity that reminds us how much slower the game used to be and how far we’ve come in TV technology. Perhaps the NHL’s great greed battle couldn’t have come at a better time for our Kamloops Blazers. The squad is in the midst of one of its best seasons ever — and the fact it does not have to compete for attention with the annual Vancouver Canucks’ rise and inevitable fall has helped shine a much-deserved spotlight on the club’s efforts. (Last night was a highlight as fans were treated to the KamloopsEdmonton tilt on Shaw Cable 10). Besides the red-hot Blue and Orange,, the Tournament Capital has a buffet of shinny to satisfy the most ardent ice addict. The Kamloops Storm entertain on McArthur Island, the TRU WolfPack bring life to Memorial Arena and myriad Kamloops Minor Hockey Association teams play from dawn to dusk for the love of the game. There’s still plenty of hockey out there for diehards to enjoy. The billionaire NHL owners and millionaire players might want to keep that in mind.

Rubes brought joy to Kamloops Seniors Village

Q&A

Editor: On Dec. 3, we were fortunate to be one of the seniors’ facilities selected to receive a complimentary performance from the Kamloops Rube Band. Our residents at Kamloops Seniors Village could not say enough about how much fun they had. We feel the Rube Band has done a wonderful community service and would like to offer a public thank you. This was a great way to kick off the Christmas season. Crystal Clark Recreation manager Kamloops Seniors Village

WE ASKED

If Ajax mine a done deal, why am I wasting my voice? Editor: Has the debate concerning the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine come to some conclusion? Is there now some agreement about whether or not this major project should be allowed to proceed? I’ve not heard of any resolution to this important matter, yet the proponents continue as if the mine’s eventual approval is a certainty (land purchases, development of infrastructure).

The public, it seems, is growing tired of this issue. Do the voices of those for or against the proposed mine actually have any influence in the final decision? Or, is this “debate” simply a way of exhausting the public so that, when the mine goes ahead, the illusion of “public consultation” will prevail? We will quite likely show greater tolerance for the mine’s negative impact if we believe we were somehow involved in

the decision. If, in fact, nothing can be done to stop the proposed Ajax mine, I would like to be told now by the elected officials whose job it is to represent me. I could then decide to take the matter further or simply move away. I could stop writing letters to the editor and annoying those who think the mine is a good thing for our community. I could stop participating in a staged “debate” that will

change nothing. If public opinion is not allowed to influence such important decisions, the entire public-consultation process amounts to little more than an empty and disrespectful gesture. If the well-being of our community (now and in the future) can so easily be sold out to present-day corporate interests, we might rightly ask ourselves, “What’s next?” Andrew Bezooyen Kamloops

KFR, New Gold agreement creates several areas of concern Editor: The recommendation by the city that Kamloops Fire Rescue personnel attend incidents at the New Gold mine site in exchange for future potential emergency mine-rescue services seems entirely lopsided and designed to short-track and undermine the proper etiquette in asking for taxpayer-funded services by a business that clearly can afford to provide its own services. In the last few years, it seems

Kamloops Fire Rescue has a clear agenda to increase its presence in Kamloops, including the new Aberdeen fire hall, the Sahali mechanical shop and a new, large presence at Kamloops Airport. There are also the increased levels of management within its ranks and demands for new equipment and training. Several concerns I have are the potential loss of protection for Aberdeen residents when the service is dispatched to the mine site; severe wear and tear on equip-

ment; increased fuel and maintenance costs; and the setting of a precedent on firefighting service areas. I say leave the equipment in the shop. I am sure if, God forbid, a mall collapses, there will be no shortage of fit volunteers to accommodate a rescue. In the event of a mining catastrophe, our services should be utilized , owever, with everything we can spare. Kim Young Kamloops

Beware of familiar scam Kamloops RCMP are once again warning the public of the grandchildren scam. The ruse involves a call to a senior from someone claiming to be their grandson, who is in trouble and needs money. The latest incident took place on Dec. 7, but the 74-year-old woman called Mounties rather than send money. The scammer said he needed $2,500 forwarded via Western Union to a Daniel Cherron from Laval, Que. Police noted the scammer’s phone number — 514-

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Senior-speed zone a no-go

Renters!! Are you ready to buy?

But, Brock street to get sidewalk in three years By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Senior speed zones aren’t coming to Kamloops, but a corridor in Brocklehurst that has worried one area resident will get a sidewalk in 2015. The speed zone, which would have functioned like a school zone, was the brainchild of Coun. Marg Spina, who hoped it would serve as a pilot project for the community. Spina pitched the idea after Errol Borsky wrote to council complaining about traffic conditions on Desmond Street. Borsky’s mother is a resident at Riverview Lodge and the two take frequent trips down the street — which doesn’t have a sidewalk — to go for coffee. Borsky said the painted-off pedestrian shoulder is often blocked by parked cars and drivers sometimes come through the area too quickly. But, director of development and engineering services Marvin Kwiatkowski said the city has looked at speeds in the area and doesn’t feel it could get drivers to follow a 30 km/h limit. Kamloops RCMP think trying to enforce the speed zone would be a drain on resources. Kwiatkowski said a sidewalk is planned in 2015, when a drainage-improvement project is also planned for the road. The city will follow through on one of Spina’s other ideas for the street, however, adding additional paint and signage to the pedestrian shoulder to make it clear it’s not for parking.

More dogs approved Joey the Chihuahua is staying put. Council has overturned its previ-

CITY HALL ous decision for a Rosewood Avenue resident who wants to keep three dogs at her home. Concerns from Shannon Kerr’s nextdoor neighbours had originally kept council from giving Joey (the most recent addition to the Kerr household) the nod. But, in an appeal, Kerr said she fenced an additional portion of her property to keep her dogs from barking near her neighbours’ bedroom window.

While Coun. Nelly Dever called for another public process to decide Joey’s fate — which would give Kerr’s neighbours a chance to return to chambers — council voted to approve the variance. Mayor Peter Milobar said he didn’t think another process would elicit new information. “These aren’t rocket-science problems we’re trying to solve here today,” he said. Council also approved a variance

for Schubert Drive resident Carol Bent, who was hoping to keep three dogs and five animals in total at her home. Council policy calls for no more than four animals per home. Bent told council two of her dogs are 13 years old and one of her cats is 20. She said their ages mean her variance will likely be temporary. That was enough to convince councillors Tina Lange, Donovan Cavers, Arjun Singh and Pat Wallace, as well as Milobar, to pass a motion in her favour.

People rent for very good reasons, and you may have many of them...but have you ever wondered if you are ready to buy? Here are a few considerations to review when deciding if you are ready to buy. 1) The Rental Market – What are the rents projected to be in the near future, how much

are you paying compared to similar rental units, what could your rental dollar do if it was put toward a mortgage payment? 2) Employment – How safe is your employment, are you committed to the work force or considering school, is your income showing signs of stability/ increase/ or decrease, are you happy with your job? 3) Happiness – Is your current home meeting all your needs today, will your needs change in the near future, can your home suit your future needs? 4) Rate Trends – Low interest rates can mean your payment dollar can go further. Taking advantage of periods with low interest rates can put you in a higher value home for the same monthly payment as a less expensive house with a higher interest rate. What are the interest rates expected to do? 5) Inventory – Perhaps most importantly...what is available for sale in your price range, in the neighbourhood you prefer and in the style of home that you desire? A premature step into something that is only second best for you and your family begs a “for sale sign” in your future. Get it right the ﬁrst time. Shop the market and be prepared to take a break if what you see doesn’t make you happy. 6) Down Payment – Down payment is not always an obstacle if you are ready to buy. Some lenders will allow a borrow downpayment. However, in most cases, lenders like to see a 5% downpayment and 1.5% closing costs. This can come from a gift from family, savings, RRSP withdrawal etc. 7) Nobody Moves Nobody Gets Hurt – Staying exactly where you are involves the least amount of work, least amount of change and least amount of money out of your pocket...in the short term. Preparing yourself for home ownership is something that can start today and gets you set up for the long term. A trip to your mortgage broker is part of that plan.

Mock hydro bills coming By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

In addition to their regular water bills, 4,000 Kamloops homes will get something extra in January: Mock bills showing how much they will pay when metered billing begins in April. The fake bills will only go to those homes where water meters were installed in 2011. Acting public-works director

David Duckworth said they’re meant to give residents a chance to decrease water usage before the rates come into effect. Duckworth said earlier projections that more than half of customers wouldn’t see a change in their bills are “pretty much bang-on. “Approximately 60 per cent of properties will pay the same as they pay now or less.” Less than one per cent of

properties will see significantly higher rates, Duckworth said. Meters have been installed in more than 14,000 homes, with 6,000 left to go. While no one is paying the metered rate yet, Duckworth said water consumption has been changing since meters were introduced and peak summer usage has dropped by nearly 20 per cent — the city’s 2015 target — already.

Rotary wants to feed kids By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Rotary Club of Kamloops hopes to team up with local schools to keep full the stomachs of hungry children. Club president Christopher Seguin said he’s hoping to launch two “child-hunger initiative” programs beginning next month. The first will see NorKam secondary’s culinary-arts facility turned into a bi-weekly free kitchen offering dinners for needy youth, while the second aims to increase access to free breakfast programs at

city schools. Seguin said details are still being ironed out for both projects, but noted the KamloopsThompson school district likes the ideas. The next step, he said, will be to figure out how to acquire all that food. “The Rotary Club is creating funds for it,” he said. “We’re working with the Kamloops Food Bank and we’re going to be going to local businesses, including grocers, to create a sustainable system. “We want to be the spark that starts the fire behind a sustainable

solution.” Seguin said “an un-scientific study” by Rotary has shown as many as 1,400 Kamloops youngsters go to school hungry each day. “We were searching for something local and something we could make a great impact on,” he said. “I’m tired of hearing it’s the government’s responsibility or the school’s responsibility or the parents’ responsibility — it’s all of our responsibility.” There are already a number of organizations offering free meals

throughout Kamloops, but Seguin said the environments are often not ideal for youth. In addition, the school district already provides free breakfast programs in some schools, but Rotary would like to see it expanded to cover all hungry children. According to Seguin, the dinners — which will likely be held twice a month on a three-month trial basis — are slated to begin in January, while the breakfast program will likely get going when classes resume after Christmas break.

B.C. loses $250,000 appeal in CN Rail dispute A judge has tossed the appeal of the provincial government seeking a quarter-million dollars in lost timber revenue from CN Rail after sparks from a train ignited a massive wildfire west of Kamloops in 2005. And, the rail company has low timber prices to thank. On July 29, 2005, the braking mechanism of a CN train in the Ashcroft area sparked a blaze, initially burning a nearby hillside. Provincial officials responded with ground firefighters, air tankers and helicopters. The fire was believed to have been contained, but got away from crews the following day and quickly grew to cover 40 square kilometres. By provincial calculations, nearly $340,000 worth of mature timber was destroyed in the fire and the final firefighting bill came in just under $5.7 million.

In 2008, CN was handed steep fines — $11,000 for violations and more than $250,000 to cover 75 per cent of the lost timber’s value. CN appealed the fines, based on the fact timber prices fell dramatically between the time of the fire and the time the lost timber was assessed, nearly a year later. According to CN, the value of the lost timber at the time of the assessment was just $6,252.50. The Forest Appeals Commission sided with the rail company, but Victoria took that decision to B.C. Supreme Court. Because there were no licences for loggers in the area at the time of the fire, the judge again sided with CN. The rail company was awarded legal costs in fighting the appeal, but still has to pay $11,000 in fines and $6,252.50 for the burned timber.

TRAVEL

Blitzing Hawaii’s Big Island in seven days By Jane Cassie travelwriterstales.com

Mother Nature threw everything into the mix when creating Hawaii Island — fiery craters, snowy summits and buff beaches. Measuring 4,000 square miles, (nearly 10 times the size of Los Angeles) she gave it the tallest mountain, largest volcano and all but two climate zones. Seafaring Capt. James Cook and volcano goddess Pele were mesmerized by her makings. During this 402kilometre, seven-day circumventing drive, you will be, too.

Day one Rent a convertible, drop the top and connect with the lava-dressed Queen Ka‘ahumanu (Highway 19). Haute hotels string along the neighbouring Kohala Coast like a necklace of gems, one being The Fairmont Orchid. Splurge and go for the Fairmont Gold — a sixth-floor sanctuary where pedigree service is topped off by a private lounge and delectable treats. Big adventures are little steps away — grotto pools, massage huts and sandy shorelines. View the sunset from award-winning Brown’s Beach House or head into the cattle-dotted hills where ranchers rule. With 25 years of experience under its chaps, the 11,000-acre Ponoholo Ranch offers an evening ride that will appease any romantic paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy).

Day two Although Hawaii Island isn’t rimmed with beaches, there are lots of hot spots to spread out that blanket. Ten minutes north of the Fairmont is the popular Hapuna, followed by Spencer Beach, a safe haven for snorkellers and sea turtles. Tonight’s sunset is followed by stargazing from the highest vol-

Hawaiian lore. Acrobatic dolphins, breaching humpbacks, snorkel-viewing sealife — this five-hour adventure displays some of Mother Nature’s finest works and is a great way to wrap up this seven-day Big Island blitz.

SPECIAL TO KTW

Travel Writers’ Tales is an independent travel article syndicate that offers articles to newspaper editors and publishers. cano on earth. Arctic parkas, homestyle cooking and astronomy guides are included in Hawaii Forest and Trail’s sevenhour Maunakea ascent, a highlight you’ll never forget.

Day three Take Highway 19 to the island’s windward side and, after paying homage to the legendfilled Waipi’o Valley, enjoy the 80-kilometre eye-popping journey to Hilo and its tropical-rich rainforests, weather-riveted gorges and stormtorn shorelines. Eighty-four inches of annual rainfall creates this ocean-drive oasis, a landscape where sugarcane once survived and blossoms still thrive. Umauma and Akaka are two waterfalls that both provide a scenic splash. Like a graciously aged grandma, Hilo

finds her way into every soul. Century-old storefronts line the palmfringed Kamehameha Avenue and offer everything from fine eateries to galleries. If you’re in search of more seclusion, stay on Highway 11 for another 35 kilometres. Kipuka Cottage (a.k.a. oasis), with its romantic sleeping loft, deep soaker tub and fully equipped kitchen, is the perfect retreat for silence seekers.

Days four and ﬁve Five minutes away is the 333,000 sprawling acres of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and home of rising steams, volcanic craters and scorched deserts. And, when evening temperatures drop at this 3,500-foot high point, you have to remind yourself you’re still holidaying in Hawaii.

Kamloops Limousine

Take time to check out the Chain of Craters Road, Halemaumau Crater’s evening glow and lava tubes that weave their way beneath the earth’s surface. Thurston Lava Tube is included with the entrance fee, but it’s pretty much like Grand Central. Warren Costa, owner of Native Guide Hawai will tailor your tour, whether it’s exploring the Kaumana caves that wind their way under Hilo’s hills or hiking Kilauea’s lower east rift zone. To really satisfy that cave craving, check out Kilauea Caverns of Fire. These ancient

Kazumura tubes are chock-full of stalagmites, stalactites and vibrantly coloured flowstone.

Day six During the scenic drive back to Kona Coast, laze next to sea turtles on the black sands of Punalu’u Beach Park, meander the ancient refuge of Pu‘uhonua o Honaunau National Park and say a prayer in the pretty Painted Church. With the convertible top down, you’ll smell the hibiscus, listen to bird songs and enjoy face time with the balmy breeze. Then, shack up with

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Three-year-old Kahlan Luce of Kamloops gets a big hug from Santa Claus during a visit to Northills Centre in North Kamloops. Dave Eagles/KTW

Merry Christmas From our “Family”

About half my lifetime ago, we lived in Moose Lake Washington for 13 years. During the last 10 years, I worked at JC Penny and, in conversation with the assistant manager, I told him of my plans for my holidays. He corrected me immediately. “Betty” he said, “You’re going on vacation holidays are for celebration of Holy Days such as Christmas & Easter.” Thinking about it in the light of our beautiful Shores Family, I believe some are celebrating by going with family to Disneyland, or a cruise or going to Hawaii, while others will celebrate with family, going to Christmas mass or other church service praising God in Christmas songs and reading of the birth of Jesus, God’s gift of love to mankind. A memory of a humorous incident one Christmas in Kimberley. When my husband worked as a machinist/welder for C.M. & S. , one thing he disliked immensely was sandwiches. So, as we got close to Christmas, I asked him what kind he would like. The answer was prompt. Two slices of your light fruit cake with a dark slice in between and two slices of dark with a white in between. No complaints that day. Thank you, Shores Family and staff, for sharing your experiences, your recipes, singing carols, playing music and decorating so beautifully. May you all have a very blessed and merry Christmas. Christmas has always been my favourite time of year. In school when the Nativity play and music were presented, the large Sunday school concerts Front Row L-R: Betty B, Betty White and Rose with beautiful presentations, and the wonder of a little bag of candy, nuts Back Row L-R: Bev, Grace, Inge, Al, Winney and oranges. Family get-togethers, even in difﬁcult times - my memories are of a very merry Christmas with the assurance of God’s love. Merry Christmas to one and all from our Shores Family and to your extended families. Have a happy 12 days of Christmas and all the best as the year 2013 begins. - Betty White

The Angel On Your Shoulder By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin

There’s an angel on your shoulder Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care. There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul. She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side. In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right. In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light. Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder.

In Loving Memory of JAMES G. HUNTER One Final Gift

March 9, 1941 ~ December 16, 2007

Scatter me not to restless winds, Nor toss my ashes to the sea. Remember now those years gone by When loving gifts I gave to thee. Remember now the happy times The family ties we shared. Don’t leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared. Deny me not one final gift For all who come to see A single lasting proof that says I loved... and you loved me.

5 years h have passed d now and d if I was granted one wish it would be to hear you come in the front door and say “Curry beef!” We never dreamed you’d go away, so sure you would always be there to see the great achievements the grandchildren have made! You are sadly missed by all. Gone But Never Forgotten Love

Author Unknown

Chris, Russ, Tara, Bennett & Sophie

If I Knew 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, If I knew it would be the last time Young or old alike, that I see you walk out the door, And today may be the last chance I would give you a hug and kiss You get to hold your loved one tight. And call you back for one more. So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, If I knew it would be the last time Why not do it today? I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, For if tomorrow never comes, so I could play them back day after day. You’ll surely regret the day, That you didn’t take that extra time If I knew it would be the last time, For a smile, a hug, or a kiss I could spare an extra minute And you were too busy to grant To stop and say “I love you,” someone, Instead of assuming you would KNOW What turned out to be their one last I do. wish. If I knew it would be the last time So hold your loved ones close today, I would be there to share your day, Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, And whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them so I can let just this one slip away. And that you’ll always hold them dear For surely there’s always tomorrow Take time to say “I’m sorry,” To make up for an oversight, “Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” or And we always get a second chance “It’s okay.” To make everything just right. And if tomorrow never comes, There will always be another day You’ll have no regrets about today. To say “I love you,” And certainly there’s another chance To say our “Anything I can do?” 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.

LOCAL VIEWS

And, that’s the last word on this . . . Thank you for all your support for our Christmas stories, but just a reminder — they are not our stories, they are yours. And, here is another. We have paraphrased and changed the names, but not the story. We hope you like it. Steve was a policeman and, like most officers, he had to juggle shift work with the responsibilities of being a husband, father and neighbour. At this stage of his life, many aspects of his life were ideal: The perfect, supportive, beautiful wife, the perfect job, the perfect co-workers, the perfect city in which to live and work. The only part that needed improvement — a lot of improvement — was his relationship with his 17-year-old daughter, Sammy. “Funny,” he would say to Josie, his wife, “I have three kids who love and respect me — and

then there’s Sam.” From the time she was 12 and started to develop physically and emotionally, Steve took her independent stances seriously and stopped hugging her and demanding her time to spend together. Instead, Sammy and Steve fought every day. Sometimes their arguments would ring throughout the house, and would end with Steve shouting, “I am your father and this is the last word on this!” Josie tried to mediate between the two. Separately, she would implore them to listen to each other more and try to see the other’s point of view. It was like talking to two stubborn mules — and Steve always had to have the last word.

One day at work in the last week before Christmas, Steve had to deal with the tragic and sad death of a 16-yearold girl and the experience rattled him. On the advice of his sergeant, Steve made an appointment and talked about the incident to a department psychologist. Steve told her that it was the realization this girl could have easily been his own Sammy that affected him so much. With a few gentle probes, the psychologist finally asked, “What is the message that you want Samantha to have that you have not communicated because of your fighting?” Steve blurted out without any hesitation, “She has no idea how much I love her.”

The next day, Steve and Sammy were at it again in the kitchen. They had eaten dinner early to accommodate Steve’s 7 p.m. shift start and Sam was hitting him up for cash. Josie listened from living room, cringing as their voices rose about skirt length, neckline depth, tight-fitting clothing, too much makeup. Sammy stormed through the living room in tears, stomped down the hall to her bedroom and slammed the door. Steve stood in the doorway and looked at Josie nearly in tears. He strode down the hallway and knocked on Sam’s door. “What!” she screamed with music blaring. “Come out here!” her father said loud enough to be heard over the music. The music stopped and the door cracked open. Steve gently pushed

the door open and, although he had not physically touched his daughter even once in at least last five years, he grabbed her firmly by both shoulders, bent over to look her directly in the face and said, “I am so sorry for what I have shown you. It has sounded like criticism when really it’s my fear of losing you and my realization I can’t protect you anymore. “I don’t know how to be your dad and I’m doing a terrible job.” Sammy stared at her father open-mouthed. “Why are you telling me this now?” Steve pulled her close to his chest and held her tightly for a long time. Finally, with a faltering voice, he said, “I don’t want to risk that you might be unsure of

how I really feel. “The things that make me mad or scared about you are the same qualities I fell in love with in your mom. “I need you to always know that I love you so much and I am so proud of you — and that’s my last word on this.” Sammy’s tears flowed unabated and Josie, invisible down the hall, was experiencing the same thing. She barely heard her daughter say, “I love you too, daddy” — something Sam had not called her father for many years. Steve went off to work and, a few hours later, the doorbell rang. When Josie answered the door, two uniformed officers told her Steve had been struck and killed by a drunk driver

while at a roadside checkpoint. That Christmas was difficult, to say the least, and the passage of time applied its healing ointment, as it does for all pain. However, rather than sadness at Christmas after that, Samantha continued to treasure her final Christmas present from her dad: “I need you to always know that I love you so much and I am so proud of you — and that’s my last word on this.” Thank you for reading our column and for sending us your comments and stories to Kamloops@cmha.bc.ca because we always love to hear from you. Remember to tell the important people in your life what you really want them to know.

“Shaved, tapered and ready to go.” That’s how Kamloops Classic Swimming head coach Brad Dalke described his charges, all of whom will be looking to perform well this weekend at the MJB Law Classic Invitational. “Last year, we had 18 age-group national qualifiers, which, for our club, is absolutely phenomenal and for this size of community is incredible,” said Dalke, noting the home-pool meet is the first measuring stick of the 2012-

2013 season. “Time standards have dropped to the tune of about three per cent faster with Swimming Canada, so we’ve got a lot of kids that have lost their qualifying times that are now trying to requalify.” The MJB Law Classic will run from Friday, Dec. 14, to Sunday, Dec. 16, at the Tournament Capital Centre’s Canada Games Aquatic Centre. There is a plethora of big meets toward which the Classics are swimming, knowing a good showing this weekend can only help

The 2013 Canadian Age Group Championships — featuring the best 12- to 18-year-old swimmers in the country — are slated to run from July 24 to July 29 in Montreal, a week after the summer nationals are held in the same city. Limited are the opportunities swimmers have to post times worthy of qualification for those events.

Dylana Milobar of the Classics was named rookie of the meet at the 2012 senior nationals in Edmonton and is looking to improve on an eighth-place finish in the women’s 100-metre breaststroke consolation final. Megan Dalke, Brad’s daughter, is eyeing her maiden voyage to senior nationals and Colin Gilbert is trying to close the gap on a qualifying time for the same meet.

“We are offering a part-time position with a two- or three-year plan,” a club press release said.

“This includes the KRC looking after your certification. This would be a paid position.”

Call men’s firstdivision coach Trevor Johnston at 250-5741466 to inquire about the job.

Please make your check payable to: Kamloops Communities in Bloom Committee. Check or cash - no credit cards (Donations of $25 or more will receive a tax receipt)

ISC to host major-midget tilts The Thompson Blazers’ roster is ladened with River City talent and this weekend the Chase-based club will play twice at Interior Savings Centre. “We were lucky enough to be able to move our games this weekend to the ISC here in Kamloops and we’re hoping to get as many people out as possible to watch this very fast and exciting hockey,” a club press release said.

The Blazers play in the B.C. Major Midget League. Admission is free on Saturday, Dec. 15, and Sunday, Dec. 16, when the Blazers host the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds. Puck-drop is slated for 5:15 p.m. on Saturday, with game time the following day set for 12:45 p.m. At 1-19-2, the Blazers are last in the 11-team league, while the Thunderbirds, at 4-16-2, are ninth.

Spence 25th at nationals Sara Spence of Kamloops finished 25th overall at the national junior short track speed skating championships in Toronto on the weekend. The 16-year-old River City Racer’s best finish was 17th in the 1,500-metre race. Spence, who still has two seasons in front of her as a junior skater, was one of six females from B.C. to qualify for the event.

Included on the roster are Kamloops products Nick Chyzowski and Kevin Davis, both of whom won gold playing for Team Pacific at the Western Canada Under-16 Challenge Cup in Calgary in November.

Update on Red Bridge Project The Kamloops Communities in Bloom Bicentennial project of enhancing the Red Bridge with improved entrances, informational kiosks and eventually solar spot lighting is progressing. Fundraising for the project continues. Kiosks recycled from a previous life on Victoria Street are nearing completion and will provide a description of the history of the three Red Bridges on Lorne Street and in Pioneer Park on three panels and sponsors on the fourth side. Personalized bricks with names of current residents and in memoriams will form a walkway around the kiosks. Six inscribed benches made from the second Red Bridge timbers will be installed around the kiosks. The bricks make a great Christmas gift. As one young man said, “What a great idea for my grandparents!” A named brick is also a great gift for others who have lived here a long time, are current residents or for groups or clubs. Use the donation form in this paper, at the donation sites or on the website: http://www.kamloops.ca/cib/redbridgeproject.shtml. Larger sponsorships are very welcome. For packages, call 250-372-3242. This is a one time project that will make the bridge an iconic landmark visible from the air, highways and walkways, many homes and restaurants, as well as from the hospital and Hospice. Let’s light up the bridge!

After the Christmas break, Kamloops resumes play in Kelowna on Dec. 27.

Lipon wraps camp The under-20 Canadian junior team selection camp in Calgary wraps up today (Dec. 13) for JC Lipon of the Kamloops Blazers. Lipon is vying for a spot on the team playing at the world junior hockey championship, which gets underway later this month in Ufa, Russia. The selection camp continues today with the Team Canada hopefuls playing a Canadian Interuniversity Sports all-star team, as they did on Wednesday, Dec. 12. Lipon, who is aiming for a bottom-six forward spot, played in the intrasquad Red vs. White game on Tuesday, Dec. 11. He played on the second line with Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin of the Halifax Mooseheads of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League for Team Red, which won 3-1.

Community: Christopher Foulds editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Ph: 250-374-7467 Ext: 222

Kamloops at 200: Your history In June and August, Kamloops This Week published two special editions to mark the 200th anniversary of the founding of our community. Whether you come from a family that

settled here a century ago or if you arrived last month, everyone has some kind of history with Kamloops. As part of KTW’s 200-year special publications, we asked readers for their history with

the city where the rivers meet. Today, we continue Your History, based on submissions we received. Future editions of KTW will include more Your History stories.

Looking for the big city As is popular today, I had been spending my evenings chatting with strangers online sharing my dreams and plans. One night, I was sharing my goal of discovering “the city” for me. He said: “What about Kamloops?” I had already chosen other cities, so quietly disregarded the suggestion. His parting comment: “Watch for signs Peace always.” Feeling the pull of adventure, my quest began by reading Who’s Your City by Richard Florida and, within those pages, I received confirmation there was a place that would be a perfect fit for my values, personality and interests. I had decided I was not prepared to leave the northwest, so my choices for further exploration were Portland, Seattle and Vancouver. But, more was revealed when my daughter said I had better find a city small enough that I can be out in nature within 20 minutes because I was never willing to drive much farther than that for play. That caused me to rethink my choices. A 20-minute recreation radius meant a

city much smaller than I had selected; it had to be more like 100,000 people to still feel like a city and yet have the features important to me. I was introduced to CouchSurfing.org during this time and received a request to host a 23-year-old young woman travelling north from California on her way home. She was heading to Kamloops, of all places. Sharing about the warmth of her hometown and how much she thought I would enjoy being there, I received clarification of my need to give Kamloops a chance as my new home. Not to rule out other possibilities, I planned a month-long journey north on Highway 97 for May 2010 to explore Bend, Yakima, Kelowna, Penticton and Kamloops. A partial list of qualities I desired in my new home included: • A real downtown that serves as a gathering place as well as shopping, not one that has become a ghost town, losing out to the strip malls of suburbia or one that has become a quaint tourist attraction.

Love of golf, nature helps make a home

My husband Dan and I came to Kamloops in January 1993 with our one-year-old boy, Jimmy. Dan had just been given a job at the Mt. Paul Golf Course as its head pro and we were excited for the move. We had already moved from Vancouver to Whistler and again to the Island with Duncan Lakes Golf and Country Club. We both really hoped to find a place to settle down and raise our family but were uncertain the golf business would deliver. Thankfully, Mt. Paul Golf Course was our ticket. By September 1995, we added another baby boy, Jake, to our family. Things were busy with Dan at the course but he loved his work there. He would work long days from morning until dark. It wasn’t unusual for him to be gone to work before the kids were up and home after they went to bed. But, that was the golf business in those days. Because it was a seasonal job, he would get the winters off to spend time with the family, but money was definitely tight around those times. I worked as a bookkeeper part-time and eventually full-time once the kids were in school. When the boys were both at Kamloops secondary, I registered in the horticulture program at Thompson Rivers University. X See LOTS B3

So much to do in Kamloops X From B1

• Hiking and biking trails. • Ability to walk or bike daily to get where I want to go. • Casual atmosphere. • Safety. • People welcoming cultural diversity. • Mass transit and limited traffic. • Reasonable medical care. • Affordability of basic necessities. • Opportunities to belong through clubs of common interests and volunteerism. • Church as a place to worship, serve and fellowship. Additional bonuses of Kamloops that provided me a sense of familiarity were the discovery of Costco and WalMart. After exploring each city along the highway as I travelled north from Mount Shasta, Calif., I arrived in

Kamloops. My first stop was the visitor information centre, where I was made welcome in every interaction. When I told people there I was considering moving here, they shared what they loved about living in Kamloops and provided a list of clubs and organizations in the relocation packet that convinced me there is something for everyone in Kamloops. My couch surfer met me to hike the hoodoos and a chat friend toured me around the back roads as we sought out geocaches. I erected my tent at the Silver Sage campground. How special is that? A campground right on the river in the middle of the city! Kamloops exceeded all I could hope for in a new home and offered attractive

weekend explorations close at hand for the time when I would begin to venture farther afield. I went back to California and the pieces just fell into place for my return to Kamloops to live. I arrived on March 31, 2011, and was warmly welcomed by friends, old and new. In addition, through a serendipitous meeting, my employer and I found each other — which not only provided my employment, but led to an opportunity for me to have a perfect place to live. I look at the big sky every day and am amazed at my good fortune to be here. This city is vibrant and alive with improvements that will provide well for the quality of life of generations to come. I love the Rivers Trail, Tourism Kamloops for promot-

ing local activities, the rivers, the parks, Music in the Park, the spectacular water, the friends I have made and those I have yet to meet, the wildlife, the clean air, the vitality created through the hosting of conventions and tournaments and the Red Bridge. There are the hearts of volunteers and their diverse commitments, the expansion plans for the bus system, the improvements to the bike/pedestrian path, the golf lessons at Mt. Paul Golf Course, the trails, the agencies and their people making a difference and the atypical, ever-changing weather. I sense there is divine guidance in being in Kamloops and continue to follow the signs and am grateful to all the Kamloopsians for the peace I feel in my soul.

Lots to cheer about in Kamloops X From B1

This has allowed me to work outside doing various projects and focus on tree health at the golf course, as well as spending more time with my husband. The boys played rep hockey and lacrosse growing up. Kamloops has a great lacrosse program

with excellent coaching staff and were an important part of both Jimmy and Jake making it on Team BC Lacrosse teams. Needless to say, we have spent almost as many hours at the arena and on the field cheering them on as we have at the golf course over the years.

Kamloops has been the perfect community and we have made such good friends in our 18 years here that I can’t think of a better place to have come to have raised our family. We have truly been fortunate!

EAD B onnections CEVERYTHING

KSO welcomes young soloist By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Marcella Barz makes her debut on Saturday, Dec. 15, with the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra, conductor Bruce Dunn won’t be worried about those notes coming from her clarinet. That early interplay between the soloist and the group of musicians MARCELLA BARZ behind her will naturally flow because Barz is following in a long line of other emerging artists to share the stage with the KSO. The 18-year-old won the right to at the Kamloops Festival of the Performing Arts, performing the same piece she will do with the KSO on the weekend. Adjudicators at the annual festival

are charged with also identifying musicians who can perform at a level where playing with the KSO would benefit them, Dunn said, and assist them moving forward in musical studies at a post-secondary level. Those selected for consideration perform at the end of the festival in an honours concert at which Dunn and a couple of others listen and decide if one is good enough to join the choir for its Christmas concert. “Marcella plays very, very well,” Dunn said, noting the piece she will perform — which she also did at the festival — is by the French impressionist composer Claude Debussy, a challenging piece where a certain level of musical maturity is needed to meet the quality and variety of harmonies in the piece, First Rhapsody for Clarinet and Orchestra. The program includes several season pieces, including some sing-along Christmas carols. The concert will be repeated on Sunday, Dec. 16. Both performances are at Sagebrush Theatre. Tickets are at the Kamloops Live Box Office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-3745483, kamloopslive.ca.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, this week you’ll need to operate under the “useit-or-lose-it” way of thinking. Don’t sit on any resources, including your time. Get active and be productive.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, it’s time to put that creative energy to good use. Now could be the time to spearhead a project that has your name written all over it. Start drawing up ideas.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 You may need to call in a few favors from friends, Taurus. There is a hurdle you need to get over and it likely will not get done alone. Pisces could be the person you seek.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, there are plenty of ways to enjoy a wonderful birthday celebration, but the most ideal could simply be surrounding yourself with family and friends this week.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, sometimes others simply don’t understand you, and deep down inside you may just like it that way.You continue to bring an air of mystery to the week.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Take a cue from someone close that less is more when you’re caught in the middle of a squabble, Capricorn. Keep your opinions to yourself for the time being.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it will take some time, but you will ﬁnally be able to convince someone to heed your advice. It will take all of your persuasive power to do so. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, avoid letting your guard down after something falls in your favor.You will need to redouble your efforts to make sure things keep going swimmingly.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, there may be a few bumps along the way, but this week ﬁgures to be peaceful and relaxing. Plus, your ﬁnancial situation is steadily improving. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, use your cache of energy to plow through projects at work and free up some time for fun for the weekend into next week.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, it’s wise to open your eyes a little wider and see where things are going right or wrong for you. Making the same choices over and over won’t lead to progress. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, a change of scenery could help bring a new perspective to something that has been on your mind. Get out of town for a few days and enjoy the respite.

Missing home — and warmth — at Christmas

T WAS THE WINTER OF 1993. Dean and I (for he was not yet Chefhusband) had coaxed his elderly orange Volkswagen Rabbit over Roger’s Pass en route from Kelowna to Winnipeg, where we had spent my firstever Christmas with his family. Unaware of just how my introverted traits might clash with a house full of charades-loving extraverts, I had not yet made a sparkling impression. But, there was still time to turn things around. Next, piling into the Hossack family Accord, five of us headed southwest into Saskatchewan to ring in the New Year. With a table set for 10, Paul and Rose Ilchuck — the family’s much loved honorary grandparents — were DARCIE HOSSACK waiting for us on their family farm Bon near Estevan. APPÉTIT All we had to do was drive through a blizzard with a faulty heater block in -50 F and plunging windchill. Once there, I would win the Ilchucks over and my hoped-for in-laws would see what a lovely girl I really was. After all, everyone’s grandparents always loved me. Dean drove and his mom sat next to him to chat, while I filled in the back seat with his brother and sister. (Dean’s dad, a Ph.D candidate with a dissertation to defend, remained in Winnipeg). And, then, as it always does, hypothermia began with a shiver. “Um, it’s really cold back here. Is there a car blanket in the trunk?” I should have said. “Is there a truck stop coming up? I’d like to buy a bucket of coffee to sit in.” I should have said. But, when no one else seemed bothered by the crystals of breath we collectively exhaled — and not wanting to be thought a complainer — I tucked my face into the collar of my (inadequate, Okanaganweight) jacket and remained mum. Perhaps I’d already moved through the first several stages of freezing to death,

through lack-of-co-ordination and slurred speech, straight to impaired cognitive function. In retrospect, leaving home at all, or continuing past my mom’s house in Swift Current, might have indicated signs of mental deficiency. I could have, after all, been eating leftover venenyky with cream gravy right then. In a warm house. That’s where my sister was. That’s where a hot bath was. And, that’s where I tried my hardest to disappear to. Warm thoughts, however, were of no use and I continued to shiver. And shiver. Until something went snap in my back. Quietly, I added “Poor Specimen” to my list of personal deficiencies.

And, as I leaned against the car door for vertical support, I told myself I didn’t actually wish it would suddenly spring open. Hours later, near the Ilchucks’ farm, two strapping young lads met us at the road on skidoos. Wheeled vehicles, it turned out, could no longer navigate the driveway. Thus, clinging to a masked man, I was next taken for a donuts-in-the-snow ride of my life and finally deposited on the farmhouse doorstep, where I made a wingeing sound and was led upstairs to bed. For the next few days, from flat on my back, I listened to the sounds of loved ones visiting. To rowdy games of Pit being played at the farm table, where players, overcome with game-lust, launched themselves from one end of the table to the other as they

grabbed madly for spoons. I know there was food — Rose was a legendary cook — but, I remember none of it. Looking back, I imagine roasted chickens and country cakes, cinnamon toast bread puddings and perogies slathered with sour cream. And, what of my plans for redemption? Let’s just say the following year I merrily ate turkey at home. Darcie Hossack is a food writer and author of Mennonites Don’t Dance (Thistledown Press).

City of Kamloops

$1.76 M

SNOW CLEARING The City’s annual budget for snow removal is approximately $1.76 million to maintain 1,650 lane km of roads divided into 8 Zones. A lane km can be explained as follows: Seymour Street has 4 lanes per kilometre for snow removal; 2 lanes for traffic and 2 lanes for parking.

36,949 HOMES According to the 2011 Census, there are 36,949 residential homes in Kamloops. That’s a lot of roads and driveways. We can only plow the roads. The City has 3 shifts of 10 staff with one operator for each Zone providing 24 hour coverage from Monday to Friday. If needed we have 4 additional staff we can call on. On weekends there are two 12 hour shifts with 7 staff on standby - available within 30 minutes of the initial call.

EQUIPMENT 13 sand trucks with blades 2 liquid dispersal trucks 2 graders 2 sidewalk plows 1 loader plow 2 loaders for snow pickup

CITY PROPERTIES

The Parks Division clears snow from the sidewalks (once it reaches 2.5 cm / 1”) on City-owned properties such as parking lots, pedestrian overpasses, parkades, community centres, arenas, swimming pools, and wheelchair crossing ramps in the downtown and Tranquille business areas.

DE-ICING ROADS

During the winter season City crews will sand, salt or spray the roads using solid and liquid de-icing agents which are salt-based.

KEEP OUR ROADS SAFE For downtown and Tranquille Road we plow snow off to the sides of the street. If it is a heavy snowfall we place the windrow in the centre of the road to allow street parking. It also makes it easier for pick up and removal later. Each year we field numerous complaints about the snow we clear because some of it ends up across your driveway. This can’t be helped, snow is cleared to the edge of roadways and residents are responsible for clearing these windrows.

LEND A HAND WITH THESE TIPS Please clear these windrows by placing it onto your property. It’s against City by-laws to shovel it back out onto the street. Our priority is to keep the streets clear for traffic and emergency vehicles.

BE A GOOD NEIGHBOUR Snow Angels are neighbourhood-based volunteers who are paired with seniors or those with limited mobility, who need snow removal services. Please consider becoming a volunteer in your area. Did You Know? Most Snow Angels in the program are volunteer City staff. To Volunteer, call 250-372-8313. To Register for Snow Removal Assistance, please call 250-828-0600.

Streets are easier to clear without parked cars, we ask that you park in your driveways until your street has been cleared.

WEATHER WATCH

The City relies on four road weather information system stations and road sensors placed throughout the city to monitor wind, speed, air temperature, humidity, pavement temperature and wetness, etc. combined with weather forecasts from a source specializing in advance warnings for winter conditions.

4, 16 & 36 hrs

The busier and steeper the road, the higher the priority it is to keep it clear. Streets are prioritized in each Zone as follows:

1. ARTERIAL ROADS Arterial roads carry the most traffic and are the main roads in the City. We clear these first and they are returned to bare pavement within 4 hours after it snows.

2. COLLECTORS & BUS ROUTES These roads are kept bare as possible and then returned to bare pavement within 16 hours after it snows.

3. RESIDENTIAL STREETS These roads are not returned to bare pavement. They are sanded or plowed as necessary within 36 hours after it snows. We plow where it snows. If some Zones are not affected by snowfall then we can use extra manpower for the areas that are impacted.

600 BUS STOPS

With this many bus stops it takes a while to get at them all. We clear them on a priority basis starting with Arterial Roads, Collector Routes and then Residential Streets.

Are you able to see oncoming traffic when you pull out of your driveway? When clearing your driveway, place snow on the side away from oncoming traffic. Property and Business owners, it is your responsibility to keep your sidewalks clear once it stops snowing. The city has over 300 cul-de-sacs and their shape and size results in larger windrows and parked cars hinder service. On Collection Days, clear an area or path where your garbage and recycling containers are picked up.

DONATIONS SNOWBALL IN Kamloops Food Band executive director Bernadette Siracky (second from right) joins Sun Peaks Resort Corporation events co-ordinator Devin Knopf (left), marketing director Anne Haight and marketing manager Sam Egan in unloading a huge trailer of food delivered by the resort. The food donation came as a result of items brought to the ski hill on Toonie Day (Dec. 3), when skiers also donated $4,089.23 for the food bank. Skiers and boarders purchased full-day lift passes on Dec. 3 for $2, plus a non-perishable food donation for the food bank. Last year, Sun Peaks’ community and its guests raised more than $6,000 through its winter and summer Toonie Day events. In 2011, 6,810 people used the Kamloops Food Bank, in addition to 40 community agencies that created meal programs. Dave Eagles/KTW

COMMUNITY

Winter is Almost Here!

Your Aeroplan miles can help charity reach developing world Developing World Connections, a Kamloops-based international charity, is teaming up with Aeroplan for the Beyond Miles charitable pooling program, which will run until Jan. 4. The 30-day holiday campaign asks people to donate their Aeroplan miles so the local non-profit organization can use them for its international and national travel needs. Developing World Connections (DWC) provides short-term international volunteer experiences to 17 communities in the developing world. DWC partners with in-country organizations to complete various infrastructure projects, such as building homes, schools, training centres and water-irrigation systems. Donated Aeroplan miles are used to travel to these communities to monitor and assess the organization’s community-development programs. Developing World Connections also uses the points to offset the cost of exploratory trips during which organizers look for new project partners. As well, DWC uses the points to travel throughout Canada to attend trade shows and run team-leader training seminars. “Using donated Aeroplan Miles

r a C e t o m e R Starters

for our travel needs allows more donor funds to directly reach communities in need and project beneficiaries,” Developing World Connections communications co-ordinator Sarah Johnstone said. “It is also a great way for people who can’t yet take a trip with us to contribute to our organization in a meaningful way.” DWC has this far collected over 500,000 miles, which translates to thousands of dollars in travel-cost savings. Last year, DWC collected close to 60,000 points. This year, the organization is hoping to receive at least 100,000 donated Aeroplan Miles. “If we get to 90 per cent of our goal, Aeroplan will contribute an additional 10 per cent to bump us up to 100,000 points,” Johnstone said. Donations can be made online through the Aeroplan Beyond Miles website. A link for this website can be found online at developingworldconnections.org. Donors can also drop by Developing World Connections’ downtown office at 220-141 Victoria St. with Aeroplan account information.

LOCAL NEWS

Swimming sessions for disabled youth Swim BC, Kamloops Classic Swimming and the City of Kamloops are welcoming children and youth with a disability to participate in a complimentary pool session with a certified team of swim coaches. Learning how one’s body moves and responds in the water, a swimmer with a disability will find a new freedom that may have never been experienced before. Every swimmer, along with their instructor, will learn about their abilities in the water and will work together to develop a swimming style that is best suited to the swimmer. Swim BC / Swimming Canada’s philosophy on developing a swimmer is based

on four basic premises. The four-pillar approach is water-safe, athlete-first, empowerment and autonomy, and improved lifestyle. There are two sessions this weekend: • See Yourself Swimming (ages 5 to 11) Prerequisite: Children must be comfortable in the water. Saturday, Dec. 15, from 2:30 p.m. to 3:05 p.m. Course #206382 • See Yourself Swimming (ages 12 to 19) Prerequisite: Youth must be able to swim 1 x 25-metre length of the pool. Saturday, Dec. 15, from 3:10 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. Course #206383

Both sessions will take place at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre and are free of charge. Register by calling 250-828-3655. For more information, go online to swimming.ca/seeyourselfswimming.

COMMUNITY

Blue Christmas hosted by Kamloops churches COMMUNITY The radio blares, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” However, what if you don’t feel wonderful? Shopping mall muzak advises to “Have a holly, jolly, Christmas!” But, what if you feel anything but jolly and the holly wishes seem hollow? If you are emotionally or spiritually stressed during the holiday season, it can feel as though everyone else is having a wonderful time while you are miserable. The world expects you to have a pasted-on smile and say words like, “Merry” and “Happy,” but sometimes it is just too hard to fake it. This is why people from United Church congregations and the community are offering an alternative this month. Blue Christmas is an opportunity for those who have a hard time at this time of year. Blue Christmas is a time to be with other people who are real. When you feel blue, it helps to know others do, too. At a Blue Christmas event, people gather for a time of prayer and remembrance. They light candles for the places of grief or loss in lives. The next Blue Christmas gathering will take place on Thursday, Dec. 20, at 7 p.m. at the North Shore Community Centre, 730 Cottonwood Ave.

“Share” a bear BC Liquor Stores throughout the province have welcomed the arrival of twin teddy bears for the Share-aBear campaign. Customers purchase twin teddy bears for $11 and then “share” one of the bear twins with a local community charity. Store staff donate the “shared” bear to families in need through children’s charities, shelters and hospitals.

Last year, more than 27,000 bears were donated to families with children in need, while more than 400,000 bears have been donated since the program began in 1989.

Light up for seniors The City of Kamloops is inviting seniors to attend the 38th annual Seniors’ Christmas Light Tour. On Thursday, Dec. 20, from 6 p.m. to 10

p.m., seniors can join a tour around town to see the best lights in the city. A tea service and sing-along at Interior Savings Centre will follow the tour. Bus pickup locations will be published in late

November in the Seniors Connector and in various other publications. The tour is free of

charge, but a $2 donation at the door will be accepted. To register, call 250-

828-3500 and quote program number #199635. Registration deadline is Monday, Dec. 17.

FAITH

Ear piercings can open a person to God’s word

e live in a time where body piercings appear to be raging out of control. It used to be that only women and pirates would have pierced ears but, now, pierced ears are common with both genders. And, as we all know, people are piercing parts of the body that were never designed for such decorative puncturing — eyebrows, noses, lips, tongues, CHRIS KEMPLING belly buttons and other unmentionYou Gotta Have able areas. FAITH But, this article not about questionable body piercings. Frankly, it’s merely a matter of personal preference. I want to talk about a special kind of ear piercing and what it means, in symbolic terms, for Christian believers today. In Deuteronomy 15: 12-18, there is a direction on how to deal with a long-term servant who had finished his term of indenture, but wanted to remain with the landowner.

The landowner was to take an awl and pierce the servant’s ear. It was a symbol the servant had pledged himself for service for life. Just like your wedding band symbolizes a marriage for life, the earring in a servant’s ear signified a lifelong servant. The symbolism of this practice comes from the willingness of the servant to listen to and to obey the commands of his master — to have an “open ear” — and to do so for the rest of his life. I think you can see where I am going with this. If you have said yes to Jesus, you have said: ‘I am willing to listen to you and follow your commandments for the rest of my life.’ You have, in effect, said, ‘Jesus, I love you and want to be your servant for life. Please “pierce my ear” as a symbol of my lifelong commitment to you.’ This symbolism is reflected elsewhere in scripture. In Psalm 40: 6-8, David recounts that God is not particularly interested in offerings and sacrifices, but much more so in obedience, signified by the “pierced” or opened ear. What is the result of a “pierced” ear? A desire to do the will of God with full commitment.

Living the Christian life means disciplining yourself to act in ways worthy of the Master to whom you belong. It means you are no longer a slave to sin and no longer master of your own life. You no longer are free to do whatever you want, but are free to do whatever the Lord calls you to do — which, in the long run, will bring an immeasurably greater reward in the life that is to come. We need to say what young Samuel said when the Lord called out to him audibly: “Speak Lord, for your servant is listening” (1 Samuel 3: 20). Are you listening to the Lord’s call? Are your ears open to his voice? Are you willing to commit the whole of your life, your talents and your energy to the Lord’s service? Are you willing to put your ear to the Lord’s doorpost and accept the mark of your lifelong service? The Lord is calling you right now. You have no excuse. You can’t say: ‘I didn’t hear, I didn’t know.’ The question now is, will you listen and will you obey? The Lord needs obedient servants. You may have heard it before that the Greek word for meek, as in ”the meek shall inherit the earth,” is the same word used to describe a well-trained war horse, ready to

obey its master’s every command. If you’ve ever seen the Lippizaner stallion shows or the RCMP Musical Ride, you know exactly what a meek horse looks like — powerful, disciplined, well-trained, responsive to every command and ready for battle. Christ needs “meek” soldiers, for we are in spiritual warfare. He needs servants willing to open their ears to his commands. Like Onesimus, the runaway slave of Philemon — whose name actually means “useful” — we were once useless to God but, now, we can be very useful, but only if we are obedient, submitted and committed. If you kneel down, in the quietness of your prayer closet and pray the words of Samuel — “Speak Lord, for your servant is listening” — He will answer. He will give you your assignment and will reveal your gift to you. You are the servants of the Living God, bought with the price of the precious blood of his only Son and He has a job for every one of you. May God bless every one of you as answer the call of God in your lives. KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.

Plan Ahead for a Safe Ride Home. 250.372.5110 Let Rudy take the Wheel. Operation Red Nose

Treat yourself to a safe ride home this holiday season. PacificSport Interior BC is hosting OPERATION RED NOSE again in Kamloops. Motorists who have had a drink or who simply do not feel fit to drive their own vehicles can phone Operation Red Nose and a team of three volunteers will pick you up and drive you in your own vehicle home.

Motorists sit comfortably and safely with a designated RED NOSE driver and volunteer navigator. The escort vehicle drives the Operation Red Nose team to other clients or back to the headquarters. The service is free and confidential, however, donations are accepted and will go towards amateur sport right here in our own community.

OPERATION RED NOSE WILL BE RUNNING ON THE FOLLOWING DATES: Friday Nov. 30, Saturday Dec. 1 Friday Dec. 7, Saturday Dec. 8
