Overwaitea eyes selling wine in Kamloops store CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Overwaitea Food Group wants to sell wine from grocery store shelves in Kamloops after acquiring a special licence from a small wine retailer in Columbia Square Mall. Tracy Gray, owner of Discover Wines in Kamloops and Kelowna, confirmed she will no longer operate the stores in the new year. The Kamloops retailer will remain open until some time in January, when it will close permanently. Discover Wines held the contract for two of B.C. Wine Institute’s 21 licences in B.C. Those were sold to Overwaitea in a deal announced Tuesday. Overwaitea Food Group told KTW in an email message it wants to sell B.C. wine from its shelves in Kamloops. “We are pleased to have the opportunity to acquire this licence and it is our hope that we will be able to bring this offering to the residents of Kamloops,” it said in a statement. The corporation offered no other details. However, a city planner said Overwaitea cannot simply move
that special licence a few hundred feet to its flagship Save-OnFoods store in Columbia Place Mall without city hall’s approval. The Discover Wines licence is on a different lot, said planner Rod Martin, adding moving it will require a developmentvariance hearing in front of council. The licence transfer is the latest move in a convoluted set of rules brought in by the B.C. Liberal government, as well as city hall. Those provincial rules limit any new private liquor store from locating within one kilometre of an existing liquor retailer. The special VQA licence to sell only B.C. wine from shelves is exempt from that rule. Complicating matters, however, is a flip-flop by Kamloops council, which reversed its position this year and brought those special VQA licences in line with the provincial one-kilometre rule within city limits. “If they do it in Kamloops, they’ll have to go through the process a normal liquor store would,” said Al Deacon, who owns the Fox’n Hounds Liquor Store in Sahali Mall, across Summit Drive from Save-On-Foods. Deacon said he and other private retailers would oppose
transfer of Discover Wines’ licence to the Columbia Place SaveOn-Foods store. “We look at Australia, where 70 per cent of the wine purchased is at grocery stores,” said Deacon, who is active with a provincial private liquor association. “It would definitely have an impact on all retailers.” The sale of B.C. wine only on grocery shelves has also come under criticism from American and South American trade groups, which say the practise is contrary to the North American Free Trade Agreement. Discover Wines owner Gray told KTW the B.C. Wine Institute made the decision to transfer the licences to Overwaitea. “We were doing well and growing the business . . . [But] this is what the industry wants. Overwhelmingly it’s supported by the industry.” There are already three Overwaitea stores in the Lower Mainland selling 1,000 B.C. wine products. The B.C. Wine Institute said the province will auction about 24 new special wine store licences early next year, creating 45 wine-on-the-shelf licences.

Gaglardi warns of ‘sea changes’ in restaurant world

An entrepreneur with roots in Kamloops who grew his family empire to encompass everything from hotels to hockey has warned that rapid change is coming to the restaurant business. “There are sea changes we’ve never seen,” said Tom Gaglardi, president of Northland Properties. “They’re scary. I’ve been in the restaurant business 25 years and I’ve never seen changes like this.” Those include rapid growth of the socalled fast-casual market typified by Chipotle Mexican Grill in the United States and the serving of beer and wine by Starbucks in some American markets. Gaglardi added that the sit-down dinner market is down six per cent in Canada. He spoke Tuesday afternoon at Thompson Rivers University’s Ike Barber Centre to a full house of mostly university business students. He was interviewed by TRU’s vice-president advancement, Christopher Seguin, on topics centred on business and hockey. “People have less time and they want to spend less money,” Gaglardi said of the changing restaurant business. The owner of restaurants including Chop Steakhouse and Bar, Denny’s and Moxies, Gaglardi gave a nod to Kamloops entrepreneur and former Dallas Star Steve Gainey and his Bold Pizza fast-casual concept. Gaglardi walked through his family roots in the city. His father, Bob, was born and raised in Kamloops to pastor and politician Flyin’ Phil Gaglardi — and Tom acknowledged his own penchant for speeding,

just like his grandfather. While the family’s empire includes restaurants, the Sandman and Sutton Place hotel chains and the Dallas Stars and Kamloops Blazers hockey clubs, Gaglardi said when he quit while enrolled in fourth-year business in the 1980s at UBC to help his father, times were tough. Calgary was hit by a brutal downturn in the oil business and interest rates were 18 per cent. The company, he said, was “$2 million underwater.” Gaglardi’s latest turn-around business is the NHL Stars, which he bought out of bankruptcy in 2011. A self-professed hockey nut who now coaches his own children, Gaglardi said the key to seeing a possible profit this year is not unlike the hotel business — selling rooms or selling seats and sponsorships. While the team is winning, the business of the team is selling seats and sponsorships in the rich Dallas-Fort Worth market. Gaglardi, who is majority shareholder of the Kamloops Blazers, said the company has a grassroots effort in Dallas to get more kids playing hockey and owns most of the ice sheets in the region. It also heavily promotes free tryouts and connection to former Stars stars. “We’ve totally revitalized hockey in the Dallas-Fort Worth area,” Gaglardi said. “Those hockey players will turn into fans” The billionaire businessman was also asked predictable questions about what he’s looking for in employees and potential management. “Well-rounded people who can communicate, identify problems,” he responded. “For every problem they identify, they come up with solutions.”
Kamloops city council will decide next week if it wants to petition the new federal Liberal government for a panel review on the proposed Ajax mine. Coun. Dieter Dudy put forward a notice of motion Tuesday that calls a panel review “a more thorough public review process” that will provide “greater confidence in the accuracy of the eventual outcome.” The motion will be up for debate on Nov. 24. “So many people have said the process we have now is flawed, right or wrong, why not just go for the best possible review process you can have?” Dudy said. He believes the Liberals will be more receptive to a request from the city than the previous Conservative government under Stephen Harper. Two Conservative environment ministers— Leona Aglukkaq and Peter Kent — nixed requests for a panel review from the city, Thompson-Nicola Regional District and community groups opposed to the mine. “I feel confident they’re going to pay more attention to what we have to say on it,” Dudy said. “It seemed to me the past government was more inclined to say, ‘No, we’ve made up our mind, we’re not even going to listen to what you have to say.’” Dudy’s motion is critical of the Harper government, arguing under the Conservatives there was “strong evidence of a deliberate dismissal of scientific research that could be contrary to government policy.” “There are many examples that clearly indicate that the Harper government strongly regarded environmental science as a threat to unfettered resource exploitation,” the motion continues. Dudy believes the Trudeau government has signalled it is more interested in looking at environmental concerns. KGHM Ajax wants to build the copper and gold mine, which would have a life span of about 23 years, just south of Aberdeen. It submitted its application to the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office in September, the first step in a joint federal-provincial comprehensive study. The comprehensive study has the proponent — in this case KGHM Ajax — put together the vast majority of the information on the project, guided by regulations from the provincial and federal assessment agencies. The study includes a working group, in which the city is taking part, that convenes prior to the information being released to the public. A review panel is different in that it is a quasijudicial system made up of three to five independent experts. The panel is appointed by both senior levels of government, with no municipal representation. A panel review of such a project would include independent experts and would include public hearings and the ability to summon witnesses.

im Doan groans as he talks about the first fundraiser his karate students did for Christmas Cheer. It was 2002 and the Western Karate Academy students raised about $300 — almost all of it in pennies. “I rolled thousands of pennies,” Doan said. “I would rather have written a cheque, but it was fun and kids were proud of their ice-cream buckets full of pennies. They were really excited.” The coin drives continued for a few years, but changed to remove the need for all those brown paper wrappers and to use the skills Doan was teaching in his classes — and an annual kick-a-thon was created. His students receive their pledge sheets in November and the kick-a-thon takes place in the first week of December. Pledges aren’t based on the number of kicks students do during their class. They must do 1,000. “They’re ready,” Doan said. “They’ll fill those sheets. Some of the kids and adults are just natural salespeople. My daughter is. I’m not, but she is. But, each student gets a pledge sheet.” Since changing to the kick-a-thon, donations have increased. One year, the students raised $14,000; through the years, they have raised $67,000 for the annual fundraiser, making Doan’s group of karate enthusiasts the biggest contributor to the Christmas Cheer campaign to date. It’s why he was asked to join the committee that chose the charities that will benefit

from this year’s KTW Christmas Cheer Fund campaign — the New Life Mission, the Sexual Assault Counselling Centre, Family Tree Family Centre and Sensational Soups. The Y Women’s Emergency Shelter has been designated a legacy charity, bringing this year’s number of recipients to five. “It takes about a quarter of the class time and we do every kind of kick with no break,” Doan said. “It takes about 15 or 20 minutes. “When it’s done, we are tired — and then we go on with the class.”

Parents help count out the kicks to ensure everyone from the six-year-old student to the 60-plus karate athlete completes 1,000. Doan said his students look forward to the event, as do people who continue to pledge every year. Giving back to the community is essential to the lessons Doan sees karate teaching. “Karate shouldn’t make you a better fighter,” he said. “It should make you a better neighbour.” That belief harkens back to the founder of Shotokan karate-do, Gichin Funakoshi, who saw it as essential in developing good character. “It’s not about fighting, sparring,” Doan said. “It’s about be a good character, be calmer. “When someone is picking on you, you’re calmer and you can walk away because you know what you can do.” He also sees the kick-a-thon as a way for his students to raise money that isn’t going to anything that involves them. “They’re usually selling chocolate bars and the money goes back to the school for whatever the students are doing,” Doan said. “The kids often don’t have the opportunity to help others in the community, to say they raised money and it went to the hospice or the mission (charities that have received Christmas Cheer funds in the past).” Doan offers prizes as incentives for his students and is accepting donations from businesses that might want to help sponsor the event Those interested in helping can contact him at sensei@westernkarateacademy.com.

The New Life Mission expanded its meal program and resource centre hours this year, opening daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. It also added another fulltime outreach worker to help it provide a safe and welcoming environment and meet with people to help identify and then meet their needs. The mission will serve more than 45,000 meals this year. Last year, for the first time, the mission was open on Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, providing meals, snacks, entertainment and warmth. Money from the Christmas Cheer Fund will help it continue providing that access. The Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre helps people who have experienced trauma overcome and move forward. Its clients come from all walks of life and the violence can be sexual, battering or criminal-harassing. They come from all age groups, from children to seniors. The centre said it will use Christmas Cheer funds for toys and supplies to be used in therapy sessions with children. Funds will also be used to provide snacks and meals to children and youth clients who often attend appointments malnourished. Funds will also be used to expand its outreach services to meet with people in locations where they might be more comfortable than they might be at the downtown centre, and to help with transportation costs for clients who have no transportation, cannot afford it or have mobility issues. The Family Tree Family Centre works with families living in isolation, feeling judged and not connected to their community. Many are living in poverty, experiencing violence and have mental-health or addiction issues. Through a daily drop-in program, families can access social and professional support, educational workshops, case management, advocacy, a healthy lunch, a childdevelopment consultant, referrals and access to its large donation room. Money from the Christmas Cheer Fund will help it expand those programs. Sensational Soups is run out of Mt. Paul United Church, a program created by several retired Kamloopsians who volunteer to provide healthy lunches in a safe environment every Tuesday and Thursday. It is completely reliant on donations and the two-dozen volunteers have often used their own money to finance it. Until September, the program received non-perishable and canned items from FoodShare to supplement the ingredients it uses to prepare soups, sandwiches, coffee, tea and juice. Christmas Cheer Fund money will go toward buying food or equipment that might be needed in the kitchen. The Y Women’s Shelter provides shelter to women and children fleeing violence. Every year, several hundred of them will come to the shelter and several hundred more will receive non-residential care and counselling. Last year, for example, 173 children lived in the shelter for a period of time.

Looking to slow the number of new riders taking special transit each year, the City of Kamloops and BC Transit will introduce “mobility screenings” for new users looking to ride HandyDART busses. Kamloops city council agreed Tuesday to take part in a new screening process that could be launched as early as next year. BC Transit accessibility programs manager Danielle Harriott said the demand for special transit, meant to be used by those with a disability preventing them from using the city’s regular bus system, is outstripping supply across the province. Harriott said it’s not uncommon for HandyDART users to find there are no spaces

tion to register with HandyDART, Harriott said applicants will now meet with an occupational therapist to assess whether they would instead be able to use conventional transit. “A lot of times it’s fear or uncertainty that’s driving people to want to apply for HandyDART, which is taking up a lot of spaces from people who need it,” she said,
are voting this week on a motion to go on strike. At a meeting on Monday night, faculty heard from members of their bargaining committee on the state of contract talks. Voting began and will continue until 4 p.m. today to allow those not in attendance to cast ballots. The motion follows a meeting earlier this month at which faculty heard bargaining, which began on Feb. 4, is not progressing toward a collective agreement to replace the contract that expired more than a year ago. In September, fac-
ulty voted to take a strike vote, if necessary, which is a requirement under the union’s rules. At that time, TRUFA president Tom Friedman said concern was expressed about the lack of progress, noting members felt giving the bargaining committee the ability to call for a strike vote would “clarify TRUFA’s resolve.” TRU vice-president advancement Christopher Seguin said the university has a plan in place should its faculty walk off the job. When bargaining began this year, Friedman said key issues would include
adding many people who use the service don’t realize the city’s regular fleet is now accessible for those with walkers and mobility scooters. “A lot of people thought they still had those two big stairs to go up,” Harriott said. The new registration process won’t affect current HandyDART users at this time, though Harriott said BC Transit
is leaving that option open for future consideration. A pilot project using the new registration system ran during the past year. Harriott said there were some complaints about the inconvenience of in-person registration, but noted reviews were otherwise positive. Council approved the move unanimously, save for Coun. Tina Lange, who was absent.

changing the way TRU hires academic staff on contracts. Those teachers are paid 80 per cent of the first step in the university’s 28-step wage grid, something the union wanted changed. Another goal is to see faculty take on a greater role in running
the university, something Friedman said the union was promised when university status was created by the provincial government 10 years ago. The university’s bargaining proposals, as posted on its website, include a five-year term to remain in compliance with the provincial government’s mandate to tie wage increases to the strength of the province’s economy, as determined by the Economic Forecast Council. The university also wants an accountability pay model tied to annual performance criteria and new methods to address workloads.

Death in Merritt crash Winter driving conditions on Interior highways have claimed a life. A 44-year-old man was killed 14 kilometres east of Merritt at 1:30 p.m. Monday when the Ford Expedition he was driving crossed the centre line and collided with a loaded eastbound commercial car carrier. RCMP said the vehicle lost control on the slippery, compact ice- and snow-covered road. The driver was declared dead at the scene. A third passenger vehicle struck the carrier, but none of its occupants or the commercial driver were injured. Highway 97C was closed in both directions for seven hours following the crash.

Bob Dieno says a recent meeting with two provincial ministers was “very productive.” The Kamloops business owner is behind an online petition to stop time change across the province and possibly keep everyone on Daylight Saving Time, which would see more daylight in the evening year-round. The petition has more than 23,500 online supporters so far and, upon meeting with Health Minister Terry Lake and Transportation Minister Todd Stone, Dieno said he was advised to get at least 30,000 B.C. voters on that list. People from around the world have signed the petition, but Dieno told KTW in a recent story that the majority of signatures are from B.C. residents. “I’m guessing we have approximately 19,000 to 20,000 now that have signed the petition,” Dieno posted in an online update on the petition. Lake recently told KTW in an email that, while there are no plans to discontinue Daylight Saving Time, it’s “great to have the discussion and see if public opinion has changed over the years.” Meanwhile, Dieno hopes to maintain the momentum gained in the three weeks since the

TIME TO EMBRACE TOLERANCE
S
ocial media has erupted in uncommon bickering over whether Canada should be taking in 25,000 Syrian refugees. Lightning-rod issues have a tendency to attract the best and worst in us, be it reasoned debate or ill-informed, shallow, name-calling. No matter where you land on this deeply polarizing issue — be it that Canada is morally beholden to accept the refugees or that we are foolishly courting danger by welcoming them in — there are two certainties that must be kept in mind. The first being, they are coming. The newly elected federal government has decided to make it so, and make it so it will. Secondly, and most importantly, we need to remember these refugees are flesh-and-blood people, just like even the most self-righteous amongst us on either side of the debate. And as such, they must be afforded every dignity as members of the human family. They are fathers, mothers, sons and daughters. They are not statistics and certainly not “Them.” And, lest the point be buried under the cacophony, the refugees are running from those who do barbaric acts such as that we witnessed last week in Paris. A civilized society, that takes pride in its Charter of Rights and Freedoms can do no less. The spotlight, then, is on the federal government to make sure these refugees, once they arrive, are properly supported with the same care in which all Canadians are governed. The onus is also on the media to hold the government true to this task in the months and years to come. Are we wrong or right in welcoming Syrian refugees into our fold? History will tell. In the meantime, how we choose to conduct ourselves as individuals, in response, is everything.

ere’s an idea: Let’s round up all those Muslims who live in Canada and put them in a place where we can watch them, to make sure they’re not secretly terrorists determined to kill us all. We know how to do it. All we need to do is look back a few decades to how this country — our country — treated its Japanese-Canadian citizens just because some others from their homeland decided to go to war with the U.S. and Canada stepped up to fight them alongside our southern neighbour. Those with a longer memory might recall when we peaceloving citizens of what we proudly declare to be a melting pot of cultures shipped off Canadians with Austro-Hungarian backgrounds to internment camps not only during the First World War, but for two years after it ended. Remember the War Measures Act in 1970, the year then-prime minister Pierre Trudeau removed most of our rights, sent armed troops into Quebec, arrested and kept in jail without bail 497 people and later released 433 of them with no charges laid? Let’s look at that other sterling moment in Canadian history, when our first prime minister, Sir John A. MacDonald, and many of his fellow parliamentarians decided our First Nations parents were savages and we had to save their children from growing up in their own culture and learning their own languages. We’re still dealing with the aftermath of that shameful
DALE BASS
Street
LEVEL chapter in our history. Now, some of us want to turn on the Muslims and, in crying out for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to forget about bringing in 25,000 Syrian refugees, they have already declared the terrorists the winner in this mess. Those terrorists hiding behind their fake religious front are now dictating policy to Canada — they’re doing it through every one of you who has said no, stop, don’t let them in, there might be a terrorist among them. That must be an extremely patient terrorist given it can take several years to see a refugee claim processed, with every member of the family having to go through security, medical and criminalrecord checks. It’s much more practical for the determined terrorist who doesn’t want to wait to just get himself a fake passport and drive across the border or hijack a plane and fly it into a building. Since Sept. 11, 2001, the U.S. has seen 745,000 refugees settle there and only two — a pair of Iraqis living in Kentucky — have been arrested
on terrorism charges. They admitted to using improvised explosive devices against U.S. soldiers in Iraq and tried to send weapons and money to alQaeda. Think about it — 745,000 people and just two of them found to be involved in terrorist activities. I know, some of you are saying there could be so many more who just haven’t been found yet. Did you forget some of the Canadians who have gone to fight with the terrorists were born in Canada? There were a lot of ugly things to be found on social media last weekend, but one of the most hideous was a photograph of a couple of cowboys, holding their rifles, with a caption that read something like: “Let’s go hunt us some Muslims.” There was Donald Trump — a man many on the U.S. right feel should have his finger on the trigger of the American nuclear arsenal, god forbid — proclaiming if the dead in Paris had been armed, maybe they wouldn’t be dead. Actor James Wood posted some inane anti-Hillary Clinton crap that deteriorated into a thread of ugliness. Conservative talking head Ann Coulter’s response to the killings was simply: “Too bad there were no concealed-carry permits.” We know better in this country. We’re the peacemakers. We don’t force new Canadians to conform to some cookie-cutter image. We celebrate heritage and culture. We’re a better country than what some of us want to be. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

WE NEED SOLUTIONS NOT BASED ON AGGRESSION Editor: It does not help the pacification of our world when people like interim Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose and her colleagues try to appear bold and resolute in a militaristic way. Like former U.S. president George W.

nouncements. We fail to look more deeply into the genesis of modern terrorism, such as the Taliban and, especially, ISIS. People do not just decide to become disaffected and discontent, nor do they from the beginning see violence as the sole means to change. But, people can and have been goaded into violence when they cannot see peaceful means to change. That aside, the process of war has been transformed from uniformed groupings to guerrilla tactics and irreverence of international conventions.

a pickup to the driveway of a home in Vancouver’s high-end Southlands neighbourhood. Ashley Page, a conservation officer based in the Lower Mainland, testified for the Crown yesterday in the trial of two men accused of illegally killing a moose in the Nicola Valley two years ago. Wei Li and Xin Xiao are each charged with illegal hunting and possession of a moose, as well as failure to retrieve edible portions of the animal. Li also faces a charge of hunting while not a resident of B.C and Canada. Page told provincial court judge Chris Cleaveley she was dispatched to an address in Vancouver’s Southlands, near UBC, to find a pickup matching a description phoned in by two witnesses on Oct. 5, 2012. She arrived at the address on Celtic Avenue to find a gated residence, where a maid answered via intercom from outside the gate. “From the outside,
I observed a pickup matching the description,” she said. The Crown alleges that truck, still coated with mud, was hours earlier used by Li and Xiao off Dardanelles Lake Road in the Nicola Valley backcountry. Prosecutor Evan Goulet began the trial Tuesday by outlining the events of Oct 5, 2013, when a pair of deer hunters came across a five-point bull moose dead at the side of a logging spur road. Crown witness Kyle Carusi testified he was hunting deer off Dardanelles Lake Road with his father in the early morning. Driving down a fiveor six-kilometre logging road, the pair came across the dead moose. Prior to that find, they waved at two men coming in the opposite direction in a Ford Raptor pickup — later traced to the Vancouver home. Carusi said they checked the moose, including by driving a knife into the lifeless
animal. He said it was cold to the touch and its blood was clotting. Carusi added the moose had a noose around its neck and appeared to have been dragged to the roadside from the bush. The two continued to drive down the spur road. On the return to the site where they first found the dead moose, the pair came across a pair the Crown said were Li and Xiao, their pickup backed up to the moose and a cable winch utilized in an attempt to get it inside the bed. “Once we pulled up, it was like they stopped,” Carusi said, noting he had already taken photos of the moose and noted the truck’s plate. “I said, ‘It’s a nice moose; nice job,’” Carusi recalled. “I said, ‘You shot this moose?’ He said, ‘Yeah’.” The two men used an interpreter during the trial. Defence lawyer Kevin Walker asked Carusi if he thought the men understood his question. Carusi replied that he
did not know if the pair spoke English. Page told the court she seized the pickup registered to a woman from the Vancouver address. Conservation officers also seized a trailer hooked up to the pickup. Items confiscated included two rifles and a green rain jacket with what appeared to be a blood stain. Goulet said the Crown will enter evidence that a DNA test matched that stain to the dead moose. The issues in the trial are expected to be identity as well as who shot the moose. Another conservation officer testified Xiao, through an interpreter, told her the jacket was his and purchased in China, when goods were returned to him last year. The defence argued that statement should not be admitted because the interpreter was not called and the Crown didn’t enter an audio record of the exchange. The trial is scheduled to continue today.

through the winter — it’s up to her to decide if an extreme-weather alert needs to be called. If she activates one, something she can do if the temperature is likely to go below -7 C or is otherwise inclement, B.C. Housing and various local partner agencies that deal with the homeless and marginalized will be alerted. They will then tell their clients they can head to Emerald Centre on West Victoria Street, a shelter run by the Kamloops branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association. Branch executive director Mullaly said the centre has more extreme-weather response (EWR) beds this year than it did in 2014, when it shared the provincial government allocation with the Out of the Cold program run out of St. Paul’s Cathedral on Nicola Street. It has also expanded this year, hav-
ing received a grant from the Stollery Foundation and local charitable enterprise 100 Women Who Care, and provides warm food and a bed on Wednesdays and Sundays in the church hall at 360 Nicola St. Emerald Centre’s program includes 28 spaces — it had 10 last year — and includes a hot dinner, clean set of clothes, shower and a hot breakfast. Singlebed rooms now have bunkbeds and sleeping mats are also used. Mullaly said no one will be turned away if an EWR alert is issued; if the centre fills to capacity, CMHA will work with other agencies to provide shelter and a meal for people needing to get out of the cold. The EWR program is in place in about 100 communities throughout B.C., providing 1,200 temporary shelter spaces from now to March 31 next year. The program will cost the province $1.6 million.

Five-star facelift for Hospitality Inn? VENERABLE COLUMBIA STREET HOTEL FOCUS OF $20-MILLION-PLUS PLAN ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Columbia Street hotel is in line for a luxury facelift. Steve Earl, general manager of the Holiday Inn and Suites, said Pacific Hospitality Group plans to redevelop the Hospitality Inn property at 500 Columbia St. into a luxury hotel and condo development. “It’s got some fantastic viewscapes, a great location close to downtown, close to all the amenities in Lower Sahali and TRU,” Earl said. “We think it’s just a positive site to build the upscale, luxury hotel we don’t really have at this point in Kamloops.” The existing hotel, which Earl notes is among the older properties in the area, has 75 rooms. The new hotel will have up to 100 rooms, while an adjoining condo component could include
between 60 and 80 units. Earl said condos paired with luxury hotels have done well in other markets and would allow Pacific Hospitality to make a fuller use of the lot without adding more rooms to the market than Kamloops can handle. “When you look at the size of the property compared to the way the property was used in previous years, they really under-utilized the property,” he said. “I don’t think anyone envisioned the community growing to where it was at the time.” Condo owners could also take advantage of hotel services from room service to the pool and fitness centre, Earl said. “I think it’s just a natural fit to combine the two.” Which hotel chain will replace the Hospitality Inn has not yet been decided, but Earl said the company will look for a “high-end brand” for the project. The company is also planning to
build facilities, including a spa and fitness centre, that will garner it a four- or five-star rating. Earl said most Kamloops hotels are of the three-star variety, noting a higherstarred property could attract Rocky Mountaineer passengers and other high-end travellers. “I think we’re ready to move to that next step here in Kamloops,” he said. Redeveloping the site could cost $20 million or more. But, don’t expect to see the hotel open for another four to five years. Earl said Pacific Hospitality has other projects in Vernon and Alberta it is working to complete, noting conversations with the city to permit the new project are in the ”very preliminary” stage. “Obviously, the city’s got to give reviews, final designs have to come in, so it’s going to be a few years away,” Earl said. “But, it’ll be an exciting addition when we get to that phase.”

The newly elected chief of the Tk’emlups Indian Band has pledged to make economic development one of his early priorities. Fred Seymour and seven band councillors were sworn in Monday evening following Saturday’s general band election. The event at the band’s Moccasin Square Gardens was attended by several hundred people and included politicians from the City of Kamloops. Seymour, who finished four votes ahead of his nearest challenger in the four-candidate race for chief, told reporters he was happy to see the large turnout for the ceremony and dinner. Both Seymour and outgoing chief Shane Gottfriedson noted

property owners and a major infrastructure investment. Seymour said the band will continue its co-operation dating back five decades when Clarence Jules was TIB chief and Peter Wing was the mayor of Kamloops. He noted one priority is access to the city’s emergency water intake that recently received federal funding. The band and city already have agreements on sewer and fire services. Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar was among those attending the ceremony. “With co-operation, it’s item by item as it comes up,” Milobar told KTW about working with the new band council. Milobar and Seymour said they are planning to get the two councils together in the near future.

turnout for general band meetings has been poor. That includes times when the band cannot muster 100 people for a quorum in order to pass resolutions, Seymour said. “We want to bring people together for general band membership,” he said. Seymour will lead a council in which four of the seven councillors are newly elected. He said economic development will remain a focus for the band, including the proposed development around the CN Station off Highway 5 North. “As I speak to the pubic now, it’s open for business,” he said. “I want to create new revenue, lease and tax dollars.” That development, however, requires co-operation with band

Snake to shed light on wrestling and life WWE legend has lived through tragedy and triumph MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER

ONLY $325
ven those who don’t care for professional wrestling might remember Jake the Snake Roberts, the burly, hairy, greasy, long-haired, moustached grappler who petrified opponents with his python, Damien. The wildest storylines dreamt up by World Wrestling Federation writers in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when Roberts was at the peak of his popularity, will seem dull when juxtaposed with his reallife story, a macabre tale of abuse, addiction, fame, death, destruction, survival and resurrection. He’ll talk about it all tomorrow at An Evening with Jake the Snake Roberts. The show gets underway at 7:30 p.m. at the Coast Kamloops Theatre. “It’s a great time for me to get out there and share some memories, which keeps them fresh in my mind and lets me relive some of the things I should have had more fun doing at the time, but things were kind of cloudy in those days,” a gruff-sounding Roberts told KTW. “I don’t go out there with a bunch of notes. I just kind of sit down and feel the fans out and we decide which way we want to go. “Every show is different. I haven’t bombed yet.” Tickets for the show, hosted by comedian Matt Billon, are $20 and available online at kamtix.ca.
It’s pretty easy to understand why “I was looking to escape, and that’s where the drugs came in.”
— JAKE THE SNAKE ROBERTS
Roberts’ comedic storytelling act will give fans a look behind the curtain at legends such as Hulk Hogan, “Macho Man” Randy Savage and Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat. Roberts, the innovator of the DDT, offered an example, an anecdote featuring a drunk Andre the Giant, whose birthday celebration in Montreal had started long before his match. “He finally got me down in the corner and he was sitting on me,” Roberts recalled, noting it’s never safe to be in the ring with an inebriated 7-foot-5, 500pound behemoth. “My shoulder was starting to vibrate and I didn’t know what the hell was going on. He started laughing. “The ref came over and said, ‘Andre, why are you laughing?’ because you should never laugh in the ring. And Andre just said, ‘I’m farting.’ “He was sitting on me, farting on me. It lasted about 30 seconds. It wasn’t pleasant.” That Roberts can have a sense of humour about anything is a miracle in itself. His mother was 12 when she was pregnant with him. As a child, he was sexually abused by his step-mother. His sister, who was also sexually abused, was later kidnapped and murdered. “I look back at some of the horror I’ve been
through and I shake my head,” Roberts said. “It’s pretty easy to understand why I was looking to escape, and that’s where the drugs and alcohol come in.” He rose to the top of the wrestling world and experienced fame and fortune. He became addicted to pills and crack-cocaine. He lost everything, including the relationships he had with his children — all eight of them. “I had a good time with the cocaine in the early beginning,” Roberts said. “People say, ‘Why’d you do it?’ Because I liked it. But, at some point, it was no longer a choice. You had to have it to survive the day. “I’ve been to rehab and to jail and I’ve never met anybody that said, ‘You know, when I was a kid, my dream was to grow up to become an alcoholic and a drug addict.’” The well-documented turnaround — a movie about his life called The Resurrection of Jake The Snake Roberts has been submitted for Oscar consideration — began in 2012 when fellow former wrestler Diamond Dallas Page reached out. Roberts had hit rock bottom and was waiting to die, overweight at 300plus pounds and unable to remain sober, when Page brought his old friend into his home along with Scott Hall (Razor Ramon), anoth-

er former WWE star whose struggles with addiction nearly killed him. Page used his DDP Yoga program and tough love to help nurse the pair back to health. “If you’d have put a dollar down in Vegas and bet Jake the Snake Roberts and Scott Hall were going to get sober in the same house, you’d be a millionaire right now,” Roberts said with a laugh. “God’s got a plan for me, man. That’s the only way I can come up with even being here.” Roberts was diagnosed with muscular cancer below his knee in 2014. He had surgery
and is cancer-free. “I love each day now because I know something beautiful is going to happen, whether it’s me seeing a rainbow or me helping somebody that’s struggling,” said Roberts, a WWE Hall of Fame inductee in 2014. The Gainesville, Tex., product asks anyone who is fighting addiction to nudge him after the show during the meet-and-greet session. He is happy to talk. And, his message to anyone involved with sexual abuse is clear. “You need counselling. You need help. If it’s happening in your home,
you’ve got to get away from there,” Roberts said. “If your husband is doing it to one of your children, are you serious? If you don’t want to just shoot the sorry son of a bitch, why don’t you go tell the police? “It scars the child for life. I’m still not able to have a complete relationship with a woman because I’ve had so many things happen to me in my life. You cannot stuff it in the closet.” No holds will be barred tomorrow night. “I open it up for Q and A and nothing’s off-limits,” Roberts said. “You may not like the answer, but you can go ahead and ask it.”

Youth on display at Kamloops Tennis Centre open house MARTY HASTINGS

Growth in the junior ranks is an encouraging sign for the Kamloops Tennis Association, said head coach Kelly Hubbard. “We’re full with kids, at our max,” said Hubbard, who was under the bubble at the Kamloops Tennis Centre for its open house on Sunday. “We’ve got 65 kids, so I can’t really take any more for the amount of courts I’m allocated.” When Hubbard joined the club in 2011, there were 18 juniors and he was charged with increasing numbers using what he learned over 15 years specializing in youth development for Tennis Canada. The open house was a chance for members and nonmembers alike to hit the ball around and watch a match between Jennifer Klenner and Paige Grice, both of whom are among the province’s top-10 ranked
under-12 girls. Kamloops Tennis Association president Danielle Wilson said the club is facing declining membership. Hubbard is aiming to increase the club’s presence in the city, something he feels is lacking. “We’re just looking for people to come out and play,” he said. “With the adults, we’re really trying to make sure we have them sorted in separate skill divisions, so someone doesn’t come into the program and get overwhelmed.” The club has three coaching sessions for juniors — fall (September to December), winter (January to April) and spring (April to June). “Believe it or not, July and August is our slowest time of the year, but we do have summer camps,” Hubbard said. Coaching sessions for adults run throughout the year. For more information on the club, go online to kamloopstennis.com.

“It’s always good to get road wins — they’re tough to get,” the guard said. “When you can get four of them in a row, especially to start the season, it’s a great thing.” For the fifth-year player, playing on the road might be a little easier, given his experience. Though that’s not to say that life as a student athlete — balancing basketball, university courses and community involvement — is straightforward. After five years, Pribilsky is at peace with the end of his career. “It’s a good amount of years. I obviously think I’ll miss it when I’m done next year, but it’s a good place to end,” he said. “There’s a lot on your plate — it can be difficult to balance it at times.”

Then they have the stress of classes and midterms and all of that weighing on them as well. “But, to get where you want to go — final four in Canada West, get to the national tournament — you’ve got to win games on the road.” With two road trips already in the books, Thompson Rivers returns to the Tournament Capital Centre tomorrow and Saturday for games against the MacEwan Griffins of Edmonton. Tipoff for women’s action is scheduled for 6 p.m. and 5 p.m., respectively, while the men will go at 8 p.m. and 7 p.m. Reese Pribilsky and the WolfPack men also won games against the UNBC Timberwolves and Mount Royal Cougars to open the season.

little better,” said women’s basketball coach Scott Reeves. Despite his club boasting a 4-0 record, its play hasn’t lived up to the coach’s expectations. Of particular concern is the WolfPack’s shooting — the club is converting at a 36.8 per cent clip, but is shooting just 24.8 per cent from three-point range. Asked how difficult it is for varsity athletes to be on the road, Reeves was unequivocal. “I think very,” he said. “I do think there is some training mechanisms you can do to help with that but, really, it boils down to mental toughness — you just have to fight through it. “Everything is just a little off. Your eating has to adapt and all that. It becomes tough. A bus trip to Prince George is no pic-

MORTGAGE MATTERS Credit Score and Home Buying Part I Does living a debt-free lifestyle make you the best candidate for a mortgage? You manage your money well and you purchase only what you can pay cash for. You have no credit cards or loans of any kind! You must be what every lender dreams of when it comes to obtaining a mortgage, right? Well, not so fast… Let’s take a look at one of the key aspects of lending: your credit score. When applying for a mortgage, your credit score weighs heavily when it comes to the mortgage rates you will be offered, the lenders who will work with you or whether you will be denied in your search for a loan. In essence, it can make or break your mortgage application. By definition, a credit score is simply a measure of your proven habits of repaying debt. For that reason, you must repay something to have a positive score, like credit card payments, car payments and small bank loans to name a few. People who do not have or use credit cards and insist on paying cash for everything are often surprised when they are refused for a mortgage because they believe their habit of paying cash should reflect “good credit”. Credit scores are rated on a point system, ranging from 0 (no credit), to a maximum of 900 (perfect credit), with the general minimum credit needed for a mortgage sitting at around 600 points. A person who pays cash for all things will likely have a 0 credit score because they have zero history of repaying debt. So what does this mean to a first time homebuyer? Do your credit card repayment patterns reveal good things about you? As a rule of thumb, a person should use two credit cards regularly and pay them off each month to build a positive credit score. A repayment for a bill as little as $10 will build your score and produce a proven habit of repaying debt. There are two major credit score suppliers in Canada: Equifax and Transunion. Each has a credit education center for those who would like to do further reading: www.equifax.com/home/en ca • www.transunion.ca Equifax offers a free mailed copy of your credit report at www.equifax.com/contact_us/en_ca. Both these links are found under resources on my website www.mortgagebuilder.ca. Look for Mortgage Matters “Credit Score and Home Buying Part II” when I will examine several factors that lower credit score and boost credit score for those looking to maximize their score prior to a home purchase. For more specific information on credit scores and home buying, please contact me via phone at 250-682-6077 or by e-mail at steve.bucher@migroup.ca.

Lorraine was very thoughtful; she always remembered a birthday or special occasion. Her smile would light up a room and her laughter was contagious. She loved a great joke using her quick wit and she always wanted to have fun. Lorraine was happiest when she was building memories with her family; she was very generous, compassionate and kind to all she met. In her youth, she started working at 14 years old for Mr. Mikes, then Afton Mines and lastly Canada Post. Lorraine loved horses and competing in the barrel racer events and enjoyed trail riding. Lorraine’s passion was traveling, meeting friends easily and exploring new cultures. New Zealand-Australia-Bali trip; being one of her favorite adventures. Lorraine endured many struggles, although she chose to take a positive approach and was very hopeful for her future. Lorraine had a deep faith and always hoped for the best outcome. We miss you already “Sweet Lorraine�; however, we believe that you are at peace and are being guided by the Angels. We Love you and will forever hold a special place in our hearts for you!

GEORGE EMILE CARLIN
1929 - 2015
November 26, 1939 - November 15, 2015
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Patricia Irene Evans, on November 9, 2015. She was born in Whitehorse on September 5, 1929 and she was raised in Vancouver. She eventually wound up in Kamloops in 1956, where she made a home and raised her two children. She had some serious gardening skills and, word has it, she also played a mean game of Duplicate Bridge. With a preponderance of Poppycock (mostly literal, occasionally figural), she lived her later years reading several libraries worth of literature and contemporary novels. She spent many years going to numerous athletic venues and places to watch her grandchildren play sports. She was truly the Sports Nana. She also discovered a love of stamping and card making and in doing so, made a wealth of new friends. With her, she takes the overall Trivial Pursuit title. Well played Nana. The family would like to thank the numerous nurses and doctors up at the Royal Inland Hospital, in addition to the good looking firemen who took such good care of her. Yes, suffice it to say, her eyes worked just fine. She is predeceased by her father Charles Joseph Young and mother Annie Ida (Dolly) Young, as well as her daughter-in-law, Bren McLean. Left to cherish her memory are her life time friend and true love, Walt, her children Robert and Diane Evans, her grandchildren Chris (Brooke), Rob (Karoline), Dean and Brittney, and her great-grandchildren Eve, Keira, and Logan as well as her brother Robert Young and family. Upon her request, there will be no service.
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved George. He will be greatly missed by his wife Eileen, brother Bob, son Darwin, step-daughter Laura, nine grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Claude and Yvonne and sisters Lorraine Hobson and Louise Rafferty. George was raised in Chase Creek and went to school in Chase. He went on to work for Mattey Bro. and 35 years with BC Hydro, which took him to most parts of BC. His retirement years were spent on his hobby farm where he became famous for his amazing garlic. Many hours were devoted to the Skmana Cross Country Ski Club and the Chase and Dist. Fish and Game Club. A memorial service will be held at the Chase Community Hall on Saturday, November 21, 2015 at 1:00 PM.
Should you wish, in lieu of flowers, the family suggests making a donation to the RIH Foundation or the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Society in Kamloops.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BC Children’s Hospital in memory of George.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gene Morrow on November 15th, 2015 Gene is survived by his wife, Freda, children Jeff, Todd, Brad (Pauline), Cathy (Darl), ten grandchildren, and 2.2 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother Al (Norma), sister-in-law Ruth, brother-in-law and sister-in-law Morag (Al), as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Gene was predeceased by brother Gary, son Dan, and grandson Corey as well as sister-in-law and brother-inlaw Wilma and Dave, and niece Carole. Gene spent 30 years with BC Tel/Telus, and retired early at 50 to Adams Lake. He was able to enjoy his passion for the cowboy life, and the work it entailed. Fondly remembered by some as “Trapper,” he loved his hunting and outdoor life. He enjoyed spending time with friends in their RV Club travelling and exploring BC as well; he enjoyed life to the fullest and lived life on his terms. The family would like to thank the Peritoneal Dialysis Team at the Hospital and the 7 North staff, especially Erin who made a difference. As per his request there will be no service, however, a Celebration of his Life will be held in the spring when the flowers are blooming. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Gene’s name can be made to the Kidney Foundation. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

Rise up slowly, Angel. I cannot let you go. Just drift softly ‘midst the faces, In sorrow now bent low. Ease the searing anger, ..... Born in harsh, unyielding truth That Death could steal my loved one
From the glowing blush of youth. Rise up slowly, Angel. Do not leave me here, alone, Where the warmth of mortal essence Lies replaced by cold, hard stone. Speak to me in breezes, Whispered through the drying leaves, And caress my brow with raindrops Filtered by the sheltering trees.
Rise up slowly, Angel, For I cannot hear the song Which calls you through the shadows Into the light beyond. Wrap me in a downy cape Of sunshine, warm with love, And kiss a tear-stained mother’s face With moonlight from above. Then, wait for me at sunset, Beside the lily pond, And guide me safely homeward

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Jonah Lomu’s huge impact on the game of rugby and his fame, which spilled beyond the sport’s traditional borders, was reflected in the breadth of tributes Wednesday after his unexpected death at the age of 40. Heads of state, fans, teammates and former rivals expressed shock and sadness at the passing of the legendary All Blacks winger whose revolutionary pace and power made him one of rugby’s most famous names. New Zealand Prime Minister John Key said the thoughts of “the entire country are with his family.’’ “He truly is and was a legend of the game,’’ Key told reporters in Manila, where he was attending the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. Addressing New Zealand’s Parliament, Sports Minister Jonathan Coleman made reference to Lomu’s humble beginnings in a working class family in Auckland’s southern suburbs. “Jonah proved you could come from anywhere in New Zealand and make it to the top,’’ Coleman said. Lomu had only returned to New Zealand with his family on Tuesday after spending almost two months in Europe during the Rugby World Cup, where he was often mobbed by fans. His wife Nadene, who was also his manager, confirmed Lomu’s death in a statement Wednesday. “It is with great sadness that I must announce my dear husband Jonah Lomu died last night,’’ she said. “This is a devastating loss for our family and may I ask that our privacy, especially the privacy of our two very young boys, be respected as we take them through this traumatic time.’’ John Mayhew, the former All Blacks team doctor who was a close friend of Lomu and aided him during his almost 20-year struggle against the rare kidney ailment nephrotic syndrome, said the death was “totally unexpected.’’ He said the cause of death was cardiac arrest. Lomu remained immensely popular long after his retirement

NHL hoping 3-on-3 spices up all-star game STEPHEN WHYNO
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Anyone watching the NHL AllStar Game in recent years knew it was broken, so the league and players are trying something different to fix it. A three-on-three tournament featuring teams from the four divisions will replace the traditional game at the 2016 NHL all-star weekend in Nashville in late January. The official announcement
of the new format was expected after KTW’s press deadline yesterday. The change, which required approval from players, drew positive reviews around the league based largely on how unpopular the old format was. “I just think the allstar game’s fantastic for those who attend it,’’ Toronto Maple Leafs’ coach Mike Babcock said. “As far as being a spectator sport on TV, it
sure hasn’t been that.’’ The goal is to infuse something into the all-star game, without going to the lengths that Major League Baseball has. The MLB All-Star Game decides home-field advantage in the World Series. That’s an extreme, but Maple Leafs Players’ Association representative Daniel Winnik said the consensus was that the game “got a little stale and wasn’t very entertaining. “It was pretty much
just pond hockey with guys that didn’t care too much,’’ Winnik said. “I think this’ll bring more excitement with the three-on-three. We have it in overtime and I think with the prize pool that there’s going to be, guys are going to want to play hard and win.’’ All-star teams from the Atlantic and Metropolitan divisions and the Central and Pacific divisions will play 20 minutes of three-on-three,
with the Eastern and Western Conference champions facing off. The 11 players on the winning team will split US$1 million, so just over $90,900 apiece. Winnik, who was part of the discussions about whether to approve three-on-three in the all-star game, said there was some concern about it being more physically exerting than the present format, but added, “I’d do that for a chance at a million bucks.’’

Blackhawks’ allstar Patrick Kane told Chicago reporters in Edmonton that “it’s not a bad idea to try something different.’’ Coach Joel Quenneville hopes it’s a good change. “I think that trying to mix it up so there’s competitiveness, there’s some fun, but guys are playing for [something] keeps in a way where all of a sudden they’re playing real hockey,’’ Quenneville said in Edmonton. “It’s hard watching sometimes when you know that the guys who are out there, they’re playing, but the pace of the game isn’t anything close to representative of how they normally play.’’ Predators’ all-star defenceman Roman Josi told the Nashville Tennessean that, in past years, “everybody gets bored from the game because there’s no intensity.’’ “We’ve got to do something,’’ Senators’ general manager Bryan Murray said in Ottawa. “A 16-14 hockey game’s not a very fun game. There’s an incentive for the winning team. A fairly large one, I believe. I think it’ll be fun for a year or two, anyway.’’ The previous format of captains drafting teams lasted three all-star games: 2011 in Raleigh, N.C., 2012 in Ottawa and 2015 in Columbus. The game
has existed in some form since October 1947, when the Stanley Cup-champion Leafs played the NHL allstars at Maple Leaf Gardens. Team Toews beat Team Foligno 17-12 last year and typically the all-star game is an offensive showcase and a nightmare for goaltenders. Three-onthree won’t help the netminders’ cause. “It’s going to be awful, probably,’’ said Toronto starter James Reimer, who set the over-under for goals at 40. “I think the eight goalies that get picked, it’s going to be like a death sentence.’’ Reimer felt good stopping some shots during three-on-three time at practice — then the floodgates opened. “All of a sudden, bam-bam, three goals out of nowhere,’’ he said. “I just went from feeling good to allowing three goals in 10 seconds. It could be pretty wild.’’ If nothing else, a three-on-three tournament should add some spice to the weekend in Music City. “I think it would be really cool,’’ Leafs’ defenceman Morgan Rielly said. “I think it will be a good chance to see what the best players in the world can do when they have a little more room, a little more time.’’

Toronto Blue Jays’ second baseman Devon Travis has undergone surgery on his left shoulder and will be out 16 to 20 weeks. The Blue Jays said in a release that Travis had successful surgery Tuesday to treat a condition known as an os acromiale. The condition occurs when one of the four growth plates of the acromion bone, which extends laterally over the shoulder joint, fails to fuse, causing an extra bone. The Jays said the condition was discovered earlier in the season when Travis was placed on the disabled list with shoulder inflammation, but said that it was determined the os acromiale wasn’t contributing to the injury. “After exhausting all other possibilities, the consulting doctors recommended surgery to repair the os acromiale,’’ the release said. The procedure included inserting screws to stabilize the extra bone in his shoulder. Travis was placed on the disabled list twice last season with left shoulder inflammation and didn’t play in the season’s final two months or the playoffs.

OPERATION Christmas Child
T
housands of shoeboxes from Kamloops will help bring joy and a message of hope to less fortunate children around the world as part of Operation Christmas Child. Volunteers across Canada and throughout many other countries are in the midst of the annual packing and collection of charitable shoeboxes. Under the umbrella of Samaritan’s Purse, a Christian-based relief organization, empty boxes are available for collection at various Kamloops locations and are to be filled with toys and other gift items such as school supplies (pens, pencils, crayons, notebooks, colouring books etc.), non-liquid hygiene items such as toothbrushes, bar soap, washcloths, combs, as well as a personal note and photo. The Kamloops shoeboxes will join hundreds of thousands being distributed to children in areas of need. Last year’s recipients included children in Uruguay, El Salvador, Guatemala, Sierra Leone, Guinea Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Costa Rica, Guinea, Haiti, Nicaragua, Chile, Senegal, Ukraine, Iraq, Colombia and Panama. Logistics co-ordinator Hallie MacDonald and volunteer Michele Sinclair hope to exceed the 2,600 shoeboxes collected in Kamloops in 2014, aiming to fill a Big Steel Box at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. Sinclair is urging anyone who
packed a box last year to recommend the action to a friend or family member. “The feeling you get when you pack and give is contagious,” she said. The effort was started by a Welshman in 1990 who witnessed the living conditions of Romanian orphans and began delivering gifts. Operation Christmas Child was adopted by Samaritan’s Purse in 1993. Empty boxes can be picked up at Dollar Tree, Dollar Store With More and Big O Tire stores in Kamloops and, once filled, can be dropped off at the B.C. Wildlife Park (in exchange for one child’s admission pass), as well as at Flight Centre, Gord’s Maytag & More, Embellish Esthetic Lounge, Kamloops Hyundai, Lizzie Bits Baby Co., Hub International offices, Art Knapp Garden Centre and Smith Chevrolet. Drop-off sites will also have empty boxes available. During collection week, which runs through Sunday, Nov. 22, boxes can also be dropped off at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 1136 Sixth Ave., through Thursday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday through Sunday between noon and 6 p.m. Donors are asked to place $7 in the form of a cheque (cash is permitted) inside each box (envelopes provided) to help cover the cost of shipping and delivering the gifts. Donations can also be made online at samaritanspurse.ca.
Group packing parties — and more The website — samaritanspurse.ca — provides additional information about Operation Christmas Child, as well as suggestions for group packing parties, churchwide events and ideas for schools, teams and offices. Kamloops-area logistics co-ordinator Hallie MacDonald has been involved with the program for about 20 years, travelling to Senegal in 2014 to see the distribution. She saw rugged classrooms devoid of desks and lacking supplies, yet bursting with eager students. “You could see through the walls, but they all wanted to be there and wanted to learn,” MacDonald said. “It was an amazing experience.” She helps organize packing parties and is
known to shop yearround for school supplies and other items. Children are invited to contribute something special, along with a photo and a message. “The letters and pictures are a big thing,” said volunteer Michelle Sinclair. “It lets the kids know there is a real person at the other end.” Ruth Coxson has coordinated shoebox efforts for 20 years at the Free Methodist Centennial Chapel in Brocklehurst. She is amazed at the congregation’s commitment. Sherry Hamblyn crochets hundreds of small toys for the boxes and two families are known for collecting bottles all year to pay for supplies. They are focused on the recipients. “The pictures of the children with their shoeboxes really tugs at your
heart,” Coxson said. It’s not just churches taking part each year. Thompson Rivers University women’s soccer players are planning a packing party and will include local youth soccer players. Gord’s Maytag and Kamloops firefighters have lent their muscle during collection weeks and businesses and community groups participate. Creativity is encouraged and each box is labelled for a boy or a girl, and indicates a general age category. Packers are reminded new customs rules do not allow the addition of candy and require that only new items can be enclosed. Enquiries can be directed to MacDonald by phone at 250-318-8035 or by email at boxesforkids@ yahoo.ca
The annual creation and collection of shoeboxes filled with school supplies and other items will once again make their way to countries around the globe. They land in the hands of children in need, such as these youngsters in Senegal. There is still time to get involved. Go online to samaritanspurse.ca and click on the Operation Christmas Child icon.

Sen. Duffy’s trial continues today in Ottawa JENNIFER DITCHBURN
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — With three categories of charges being tried, a diverse array of witnesses and a mountain of documents entered into evidence, it can be hard to follow the thread of Sen. Mike Duffy’s trial. The trial resumes today. Here are some of the key things learned since his fraud, breach of trust and bribery case opened in February in Ontario Provincial Court: • The Herculean efforts to make a scandal go away: When the media began digging into Duffy’s living expenses in late
2012 and early 2013, figures inside then-prime minister Stephen Harper’s office and his Senate leadership began looking for ways to put a lid on the controversy. There were drawn-out talks among Duffy and key operatives on how he would make the public believe he was going to repay his expenses, while Harper’s chief of staff, Nigel Wright, would secretly cover the $90,000 bill. The Crown wants to prove Duffy was either the instigator or an equal partner in the plan, while the defence says he was coerced into going along with the scheme. • The Conservative caucus kept Duffy busy:
Duffy is facing several charges related to travel expenses he claimed while zipping around the country to a variety of events he said were Senate business. Many of those events were organized by Conservative MPs, some of whom told the court the former broadcaster was a popular draw for fundraisers. Often the cost of the travel was many times higher than the funds raised. Duffy’s lawyer has argued the Senate lists partisan activities as “inherent and essential,’’ while the Crown is trying to prove the senator defrauded the public by dressing up personal or political events as legitimate Senate work.
• The strange business of Senate contracts: Duffy awarded his friend, Gerald Donohue, $65,000 worth of contracts for research and consulting, which the Crown has framed as a slush fund. Some of that money was later paid out through Donohue’s family business to other Duffy service providers, including a personal trainer, an intern and a makeup artist. The defence says the payments might have been unorthodox, but they do not constitute fraud — no kickbacks or favours were ever requested in return. • Those darned Senate rules: The dullest part of the trial for
observers, but perhaps the most important for Duffy, are the details around the Senate’s expense rules. The court has heard there was no clear definition of what constituted residency when Duffy was appointed to the chamber. Senators had broad discretion to award contracts with little oversight after the fact to determine if the services were delivered. The rules around what constituted Senate business for travel were also vague.Prosecutors have tried to make the case that some of the issues are just matters of common sense, such as where a person actually has their primary residence.
53-million-year-old fossilized wasp discovered GIANT WASP, DUBBED YPRESIOSIREX, DISCOVERED IN FOSSIL BEDS NEAR CACHE CREEK VANCOUVER — It was literally a huge discovery. Bruce Archibald was
searching for fossilized insects in British Columbia’s southern Interior when he cracked open a rock and found a beautifully preserved giant horn-
tail wood-wasp. “I immediately jumped up and split my pants,’’ he recalled with a laugh. “Probably, the species should have been

named Latin for pantssplitter, but we went with something a little more technical.’’ Archibald, a paleoentomologist with the Royal B.C. Museum and Simon Fraser University, had discovered a 53-million-yearold species of giant wasp, which he dubbed Ypresiosirex orthosemos. The insect, seven centimetres in length, is one of three new wasp species Archibald and Alexandr Rasnitsyn of the Russian Academy of Sciences identified in an article published online in The Canadian Entomologist. While most B.C. hikers would be somewhat alarmed to encounter a wasp of that size, the ancient insect was actually only slightly larger than its modern descendants. “They’re pretty big pests of forests today,’’ said Archibald. “The interesting part is that it’s so close to its modern relatives. “So, when you put it in a forest 53 million years ago with very different conditions . . . you can see how their community responds.’’ @KAMTHISWEEK

A fossilized giant horntail wood-wasp is shown in a rock discovered by Bruce Archibald.
Today, young horntail wood-wasps bore tunnels through wood to grow fungus they eat. The fungus emits poisons while the wasps produce a secretion that weakens the tree’s immune system, eventually killing it. Archibald discovered the ancient species in the McAbee Fossil Beds near Cache Creek. The other new species were also found at the site. Archibald said the discovery gives researchers insight into how the modern world started to come together after the extinction of the dinosaurs. All the elements
enjoyed by today’s giant horntail woodwasps were in place 53-million years ago — including trees such as fir, pine, spruce, hemlock, sequoia and cedar. Further, the species also tells researchers about what kinds of plants and animals live together when the climate is warmed up slightly. He described the winter weather at that time as similar to that of present-day Vancouver, but with few — if any — days of frost. That meant the horntail wood-wasp, which prefers a temper-
ate climate, was living alongside creatures that prefer tropical weather, including a species of cockroach that is now only found in Fiji. “People often ask me, ‘Why should I care what fly flew in the sky 53-million years ago?’’’ Archibald said. “What I say is, the more that we understand about the origin of our modern forest ecosystems, and the more we understand about how plants and animals respond and how the communities changed in different climates, the better off we’re going to be as we move into the future.’’

aureen Hove never bases her paintings on other artists’ pictures but, for her latest piece, she did just that. She took Bob Lewis’ photographs — one of Monte Creek in the fall and another of Coyote Rock overlooking Kamloops Lake — and reinterpreted each with water colour and ink. The lines of the latter image inspired her and the richness of the former was just so bold. Inspiration rarely originates from a single source, she said, but, this time, that was the point. Hove is a member of the Kamloops Courthouse Gallery’s artists’ co-operative and Lewis a member of the Kamloops Photo Arts Club — both of which have come together to present the joint exhibition Kindred Spirits. A variety of images were presented to the 16 gallery artists, from which they chose to create complementary pieces in a range of mediums — glass, pottery, jewelry, fabric, weaving, clay, drawing and pastel. “I suppose each one of us chose a photograph that spoke directly to us as artists,” Hove said, adding the idea wasn’t to replicate the image, but to reimagine it in a new form. The fabric artists were sometimes influenced by colour, while jewellers might be motivated by figures. It’s the first time the two groups have worked together, but it likely won’t be the last. “I think we’ll do it again,” Hove said. “I think it’s a wonderful concept. It’s a wonderful connection.” Dave Snider, president of the Photo Arts Club and member of the artists’ co-operative, said he often finds inspiration in the work of the gallery artists, but it was also an interesting exercise for the photographers. The club has more than 60 members. “A lot of the photographers were interested to see what the person did with their photograph and, second, to see the other artist, someone their photo reached, that it touched them in some way, inspired them in some way — which is a real compliment to the photographer,” he said. Up to 20 pieces are being presented during the month-long exhibit, which runs run to Dec. 19 at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, at Seymour Street and First Avenue. A public opening reception will be held on tomorrow from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Adult colouring books top Canadian bestsellers
A
fter learning about the rising popularity
of adult colouring books, Crystal Salamon saw an opportunity to share her longtime love of drawing with others. Little did she know her art would be appreciated globally. “You can make one single painting and then a few people can enjoy [it]. But, to create drawings that you can put in a book and send all over the world, people can not only enjoy it but also use that to explore their own creativity,’’ said the Alberta-based illustrator and art instructor, who sold 2,000 copies of her debut self-published adult colouring book within two weeks. Salamon’s success is not an isolated case. So far this year, four of the top 10 Canadian bestsellers across all categories are colouring books — a phenomenon unseen in a decade of charting sales, said Noah Genner, CEO of BookNet Canada. “It’s the kind of thing that will be given a lot as gifts, which is maybe why it’s being pushed up into the bestseller list now, too,’’ said Genner, adding that works from Scottish illustrator Johanna Basford — including Secret Garden and Enchanted Forest — are examples of surprise runaway hits. “I imagine we’re going to see more for a little while.’’ Salamon’s Awakening: Artful Colouring, released in September, found an immediate audience at home and in the United States,

As a grandma, Pat Davies has more opportunities to colour in her life than most. It’s not just a good way to spend time with the grandkids. For Davies, there’s a spiritual aspect to picking up her pencil crayons, which she’s hoping to share at a workshop on Saturday. “Colouring has the same effect as a meditative practice does in slowing you down, in de-stressing you,” Davies said. Colouring books aimed at adults, whose themes range from mandalas to tropical fish to fairy tales, are becoming more popular as a way to take a break from the hubbub of everyday life, Davies said. “Meditation is a really powerful spiritual practice, but a lot of people have trouble doing it: they say they can’t do it because their mind’s too busy; they can’t U.K., Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Mexico and others. “I never in my wildest dreams imagined that would happen,’’ said Salamon of the first-run sellout. “I was thinking maybe in my biggest dreams I would sell [the first 2,000 copies] within a year. “I’ve already had to order another run — this time 5,000 — and that just came in last week, and I’m already getting quotes for another run. It’s nuts.’’ Salamon was also unprepared for just how her colouring book project would resonate as she documented it online. Among those following Salamon’s progress was a terminally ill
quiet themselves down; they can’t slow themselves down.” Colouring for 10 or 15 minutes doesn’t have the same barrier to entry. “People like it because it’s not too woo woo, it’s not that New Age-y or way out there, because we all coloured,” Davies said. “If you went to school, you coloured. It’s not foreign to us. It’s something very comfortable. It’s something familiar.” The workshop is open to adults interested in learning about colouring’s benefits. “Children already have a hang on this whole thing,” she said. Admission is free to all, and materials are provided. Davies said she’ll explain the benefits of colouring, and lead a short meditation exercise to start, to get participants in the proper frame of mind before they pick up their art supplies. It runs from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Desert Gardens, 540 Seymour Street.
woman from Calgary, whose doctor recommended she try colouring to help manage stress and anxiety. “Her husband was saying when my book was published, his gift to her was to drive her out to my house so that she could meet me in person,’’ recalled Salamon, 34, who lives in Turner Valley, Alta., about 30 minutes southwest of Calgary. “It was just so sweet because you could tell she was quite happy and overcome. It’s just so amazing . . . To have the ability to use my art and my journey in a way that inspires others and can even make them happy like that — even just for a moment by meeting me — is pretty incredible. And
pretty surprising.’’ The co-founder of arts and crafts retailer Brika said they’ve “jumped on the adult colouring bandwagon.” “I definitely think, on the one hand, there’s a throwback to childhood and the idea of taking out your pencils and crayons, and doing that is really nice,’’ said Brika cofounder Jen Koss. “There is a really therapeutic element to colouring . . . When you get going and get into the zone and you’re colouring something that’s small and really intricate, I think people find it really relaxing.’’ — The Canadian Press

REVIEW: SUIT UP FOR THE VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT ALEXANDRA STRAUB
DRIVEWAY CANADA
driveway.ca
I
t really wasn’t until its fifth generation — starting in 1998 — that the Volkswagen Passat became a household name in Canada. Perhaps one reason was because it went by two other names prior, including the Dasher and the Quantum. But, since 1998, the Passat has been a core model for the German automaker this side of the Atlantic. For 2016, it goes through another metamorphosis to bring an even stronger product to the market in an intensely fierce segment: the mid-size sedan. There are quite a few things the Passat does well. First is design, whether that’s inside or out. For the 2016 model year, it goes through a major overhaul to not only look fantastic, but also feel fantastic when it comes to soft touch materials inside and time behind the wheel. There’s a new sculpted hood, which was described by Eugen Enns, exterior design specialist for the Passat, to look like

a Hugo Boss suit. Why a Hugo Boss suit? Because that brand looks good on everyone — no matter your size. He mentioned Armani suits are fantastic, but you need a certain body type to pull it off. The crisp pleat on the hood gives the front end flair and a nice focus but isn’t so dramatic that it could easily offend the masses. Then there are new front fenders, grille, front and rear bumpers, trunklid, rims and

available LED headlights and taillights. Not to mention, it’s the first time the Passat will get an R-Line to enhance its already great package. The R-Line package features unique rocker panels, a stylized front bumper, a modified rear diffuser and 19-inch aluminumalloy wheels. Furthermore, only the roof, doors and the body side stamping carry over from the 2015 model. All the rest of the sheet metal is new. Slip inside the cabin and you’re greeted to
an all-new instrument panel that includes two large gauges. The new upholstery, two-tone décor panels, elegant piano black and laser-grained chrome trim contribute to the welcoming atmosphere the Passat has been known for over the last couple of generations. Aside from visual appeal, the intermingling of textures, tones and hues throughout the cabin blend harmoniously together and they all look fantastic. Then there’s the 6.3-inch display acting
as a focal point in the cabin. On the road, expect to experience a quiet, smooth and competent ride. The winding and sweeping roads in and around Vermont were a great place to test the Passat’s electromechanical power steering. While I would have liked a little more feedback on the twisty roads for highway driving and maneouvering, it does the job very well. Allowing me to get up to highway speeds was the aid of the 1.8L,

Passat, the base MSRP for the Trendline, which comes with a six-speed manual transmission, comes in at $23,295 or with the automatic, $24,605 (both excluding destination and taxes.) The top-of-the-line Passat comes in the form of the Execline, starting at $38,295 (excluding destination charges and taxes.) The Execline will give you the potency of the 3.6L VR6 engine, complete with a 280 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque linked to a six-speed DSG automatic.

Safety is another area VW pays close attention to. The inclusion of the Intelligent Crash Response System means the doors automatically unlock, the fuel pump shuts off and the hazard lights turn on in the event of a collision. The collaboration of new sheet metal, revised styling on the inside and out, and great safety features solidify the Passat as a worthy model to consider in the mid size sedan category.

I
can’t believe how many times I have driven past that concrete wall on the side of the Trans Canada Highway having no idea just behind it lies a trail to one of B.C.’s most gorgeous waterfalls. Had I known, I would have stopped to admire the falls every time I drove to Calgary. I discovered the falls on a photographer’s website and he was kind enough to give directions which I followed and was amazed at how acces-

sible these incredible falls are. A short five-minute hike from the highway pullover took me to the base of the falls. You can get right up to the falls and feel the mist on your face.
HOW TO GET THERE
From Kamloops, drive past Crazy Creek Suspension Bridge on the way to Revelstoke and keep your eye to the right for a concrete wall. If you get to a large rock on your left or to Noah’s Ark, you have gone too far. Park at the concrete wall and look for the trailhead, the falls are a five-minute walk up the trail.
Correction Teresa Cline’s Nov. 5 Local Travel article on Helmcken Falls in Wells Gray Park used information from Roland Neave’s book, Exploring Wells Gray Park, and a summary Neave wrote for a Wikipedia article on the falls. In fact, Neave, who runs Wells Gray Travel in Kamloops, will highlight the sixth edition of Exploring Wells Gray Park tonight at a meeting of the Kamloops Naturalist Club. The veteran outdoorsman will present a slideshow that showcases the latest edition of the popular park guide. The free event starts at 7 p.m. at Heritage House, at 100 Lorne St. in Riverside Park.
