TRU ACCOUNTABILITY? Since TRU became a university in 2005, student tuition has increased by one-third. Between 2005 and 2013, the number of TRU Administrators has doubled. During the same period, the number of full-time faculty members has remained unchanged and • Student services are disappearing. • Class sizes continue to increase. • Course offerings are being reduced. • Student retention remains disappointingly low.

Fund the classroom, not the boardroom.

Brayden Caverly collects personal belongings from his sister Brenna’s vehicle yesterday after one of three early-morning accidents along the Highway 1 near the Pineview Golf Course in Dallas. Brenna, a school district employee, was heading to work about 7 a.m. when the accident occurred. She was uninjured. Two other incidents saw a tractor-trailer and a Jeep leave the highway. Black ice is suspected to be the cause of the mishaps.

The CEO of the rail-service company that purchased the former Weyco site in Mission Flats said yesterday the property will serve as its B.C. headquarters and could eventually employ “hundreds” of workers. Cando Rail Services purchased the 36-hectare industrial property beside the Thompson River on Dec. 31. In a statement, CEO Brian Cornick said construction plans include storage and transloading between truck and rail. It is located along the CP Rail mainline, with ability to service CN Rail as well.

company’s ambitions appear to have grown. The city has pushed for development of an inland port in Kamloops for decades, something Anderson said Cando’s plans are approaching in scope. “One our key advantages is proximity to the Port of Vancouver. They [Cando] see Kamloops as a key staging area for the port.” Cando said the site has capacity for 1,000 railcar spots. The corporation’s services include material handling, rail engineering and track services at 18 locations. It also operates its own short line rail in Manitoba and Ontario, as well as railcar storage at six other Canadian sites.

“Our long-range plan is to build an extensive rail terminal at the location that includes 80,000 feet of track, transload areas, as well as engineering and mechanical servicing areas,” he said. “We’ll start with storage tracks first — building to have the first 250 spots ready by this June.” Cornick said the location makes sense for the Manitoba-based firm as a headquarters in B.C. and a regional hub for truck and rail. Venture Kamloops executive director Jim Anderson said the property’s return to industrial use is a key economic factor for the city. Venture Kamloops assisted Cando with some of its preliminary investigation, but the

Quick dip in frigid Thompson preceded arrest A Kamloops man is facing a string of charges after allegedly going on a drunken crime spree that began at a North Shore strip club and ended in the Thompson River. Police allege the 28-year-old man got into a cab early yesterday morning after spending the evening at The Duchess. A short time into the ride, he

is alleged to have began attacking the cab driver, who ran from the vehicle. Police believe the man then got into the driver’s seat and tried to take off, but the vehicle stopped because of a security device. Police allege the man then smashed the cab’s windshield with his bare hands.

When police arrived, he is alleged to have ran into the frigid Thompson River. He was arrested and charged with one count each of assault, theft of a motor vehicle and mischief. He was released from custody yesterday afternoon and is slated to appear in court on Monday, Jan. 25.

Cost of developing Ajax jumps to $1.3 billion CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A revised layout and better understanding of costs have ballooned the projected cost of building a new Ajax mine by more than 60 per cent, to $1.3 billion. KGHM Ajax released an updated feasibility report earlier this week. It details huge cost increases, along with plans to increase daily production and shorten the life of the historic open-pit mine immediately south of Kamloops to 18 years, down from an earlier projection of 23 years. In an email response, project development manager Clyde Gillespie said the estimated cost increase from $800 million four years ago to $1.3 billion today results from a number of factors, including “more rigour and detail in engineering, higher processing rate and the revised project layout.” The revised mining plan would see daily tonnage increase from 60,000 up to 65,000 tonnes, something that accounts for the shorter mine life. The release and

Monday’s expected publication of its environmental application come at a grim time in commodity markets, with copper trading around the US$2 a pound mark — far below any long-term projections used in any Ajax study, past or present. The latest economic study — authored for KGHM Ajax by M3 Engineering and Technology Corp. — assumes a long-term copper price averaging US$3.21 a pound. Mining analyst Stefan Ioannou with Toronto’s Haywood Securities said while the copper forecast is more than 50 per cent higher than today’s copper price, it is not unrealistic given the mine will take several years to build and its expected life of 18 years. While Ioannou cautioned he has not followed KGHM Ajax closely, he said a preliminary read of the updated feasibility study shows poor economic prospects even at inflated copper prices. That opinion is based primarily on KGHM Ajax’s forecasted

13 per cent internal rate of return, or IRR — what Ioannou called “a key economic metric a banking group would look at. “Typically bankers get interested when a project generates an after-tax return of 18 per cent — that’s after tax,” he said. The feasibility study uses a before-tax IRR. Ioannou said B.C. taxes would typically be about 30 per cent. Ioannou said he cannot recall “off the top of my head” a mining project of Ajax’s magnitude that has gone ahead with a 13 per cent IRR. The analyst added projects of this size are not moving ahead anywhere in the world under current economic conditions. The declining loonie will, however, help mine economics. The mine would sell copper and gold in American dollars while its labour costs are in Canadian dollars. Jim Gillis, a veteran Kamloops mining promoter, agreed with Ioannou that Ajax’s economic prospects look marginal, even at its US $3.21 per pound projected copper price. But, he’s hoping

the giant mining firm owned in part by the Polish government will fund the project itself if it cannot attract outside interest from lenders. Gillis said the company’s own projections mean, even under a best-case scenario — the mine receiving approval in a year, followed by 2.5 years of construction — KGHM would not starting making money for at least a decade from now. “If they get construction going, it will supply a hell of a lot of jobs . . . Do I think it will go ahead? I hope so. Copper will rebound, but it will take time.” Gillis doubts the feasibility study has costed any share of profits to First Nations. Stk’emlupsemc te Secwepemc Nation — comprised of Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn Indian bands — is suing in B.C. Supreme Court for a declaration that it holds title and rights to the mine site. The 18,000-page environmental assessment will be publicly released Monday. That starts the clock ticking on a 180-day review process that will include public comment, public

STOCK PRICE OF AJAX PARTNER ABACUS TAKING A BEATING The Vancouver-based junior mining company that owns 20 per cent of Ajax has sunk to pennies a share, a long painful fall for the company that discovered the resource and its investors who have lost millions of dollars. Following the release of the economic update on the proposed Ajax mine, shares in Abacus Mineral Exploration dropped a penny to four cents a share. Four years ago, shares were worth six times today’s depressed price. At their peak, a decade ago, Abacus traded for 90 cents a share. While more than one-million shares changed hands on Thursday, it represented only about $50,000 in value. City mining promoter Jim Gillis said professional and institutional investors no longer have interest in the stock, which he said is being bought and sold by “mom and pop” investors. It is valued in total at about $4 million.

Under the terms of its joint-venture with Polish mining giant, Abacus is required to fund its 20 per cent of the cost of mine development and capital. According to the most recent financial statements, Abacus has exhausted its cash after contributing more than $8 million to the project in 2014 and more than $6 million the first nine months of 2015. It is now required to borrow from KGHM Ajax for all “cash calls” of project development. Those loans are to be funded by its share of profits if the mine is ever built. Gillis said he cannot see a way that Abacus can come up with its $250-million share of the project cost. “Abacus is a long ways from anyone’s dream stock to buy,” said Gillis. “I’d sell, even at three cents.” — Cam Fortems

meetings and studies by agencies before going to provincial and federal ministers for approval. Other details released in the feasi-

bility study show an approved Ajax project would be accessed from the Coquihalla Highway via a reconfigured interchange

at Inks Lake. Power would come from BC Hydro’s Jacko Lake subdivision 12 kilometres from the proposed mill site.

FIRED FROM WORK? For many people, work is a major component of their lives. In fact, many people identify themselves by what they do. But, when someone is ﬁred from their job, it can be both a ﬁnancial and emotional blow.

YOU SHOULD KNOW YOUR RIGHTS In law, an employer can fire a non-union employee with or without “just cause”. This means you can be fired for any reason, provided that reason does not violate human rights or other employment legislation. However, if you are fired without just cause, you must be provided with reasonable notice or appropriate compensation in place of notice to help you while you find another similar job. What is reasonable and appropriate depends on many factors, including your position, length of time with your employer, age, and the terms of your employment contract.

For most faculty at Thompson Rivers University, yesterday’s job action wasn’t onerous, but designed as a wakeup call, said union president Tom Friedman. He said faculty were told to not communicate with the office of the vice-president academic, action chosen to emphasize the union’s position administration is isolated from the dayto-day work faculty does. When asked what kind of impact the limited action by the TRU Faculty Association (TRUFA) will have, Friedman acknowledged it will be minimal. “But, our members will get that,” he said. “This is to re-emphasize this administration is out of touch.” As TRUFA and the university’s bargaining committees begin mediation talks today, both sides have taken their bargaining positions public. One of the issues in the dispute is growth and cost of administration, with TRUFA arguing that part of the university has grown 165 per cent in positions and 350 per cent in cost in the past decade. The university countered with statistics showing TRU’s administrative costs of 10.8 per cent of its budget are the third lowest in a comparison of 10 comparable B.C. universities conducted by the Canadian Association of University Business Officers. Its academic expenditures are highest, at 65.2 per cent. Friedman said actual growth, rather than the percentages, are the union’s issue. He said the size of the administration component has doubled in the past decade, with the student body remaining fairly static, the faculty complement increasing modestly and the reliance on contract faculty rising exponentially. TRU vice-president finance Matt Milovick questioned how Friedman is defining administration and said the

recent growth in administration “has been in marketing and communications, recruitment for the strategic reason of improving student enrolments, which keeps jobs at TRU, fundraising for academic programs and facilities and for legal costs for things like labour relations and to respond to an everincreasing, challenging environment of accountability.” The university’s fact sheet shows the student complement increasing an average of 32 students on campus and 294 in distance learning each year; total head count shows 13,180 in 2005 and 14,099 in the 2014-2015 school year. Friedman added that TRUFA’s proposals were not accurately characterized when the university posted each side’s position online. For example, he noted TRU shows its wage proposal for a five-year term is 5.5 per cent and TRUFA’s proposal at 45.9 per cent with no proposed term. “I don’t want to get into this bargaining through the media,” Friedman said. “But, some are amalgamations and 45.9 per cent is an outrageous exaggeration. “It’s unfortunate they have put this out. It makes it more difficult to get a deal. There is no atmosphere of mutual trust.” Milovick said TRUFA has been asked on several occasions in the bargaining process to refine its position. “We are not going to refine it for them — that is to say we are not going to assume we know what’s important to them,” he said. “This is the last position that we have as of Oct. 20, 2015. They also have the spreadsheet, which they’ve accepted as accurate, that this data is pulled from.” Mediator Mark Brown has agreed to meet with each side for the weekend, going late into Sunday night, if necessary. • TRUFA members are planning a rally today at 10 a.m. outside the Clock Tower Building, while the TRU administration will hold a press conference inside the same building at 10:30 a.m.

$1.8m upgrade on way Another North Shore street is being tapped for improvements in 2016. The City of Kamloops will spend about $1.8 million to bring Richmond Avenue up to what design engineer Jesse Dhillon calls an “urban standard.” Construction will begin this spring following a tender and last four to five months, Dhillon said.

As part of the reconstruction, residents will get a sidewalk on the north side of the road, better lighting, drainage improvements and onstreet parking lanes. The upgrades were chosen after surveying residents about their wishes — painted crosswalks, on-street parking and better lights topped the list — as the city has done for several North Shore

road projects over the past few years. Dhillon said motorists should expect to see some disruptions once work begins. “It’ll be like any other project,” he said. “There will be interruptions to traffic and even access to some residents’ driveways at some times.” A full map of the changes planned is available online at kamloops.ca.

David Komljenovic, president of the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association (KTTA), said the decision indicates judges have issues with the B.C. Appeal Court ruling that

the provincial government did not breach teachers’ constitutional rights when it stripped class size, composition and specialist ratios from their contract in 2002 and again in 2012. That decision, released in April 2015, reversed a B.C. Supreme Court ruling that the government had violated teachers’ constitutional rights and ordered the province to pay the B.C. Teachers’ Federation

(BCTF) $2 million. The BCTF wants to appeal the April ruling, arguing the court erred in how it interpreted the facts presented and did not apply the law correctly. It has 30 days to file the appeal and it could be heard before the end of the year. Appeals are normally heard by the court within 10 months. BCTF president Jim Iker called on the prov-

ince to not wait for the court to hear the appeal, but to address the issue now. Education Minister Mike Bernier, however, said the government is confident in its legal position. Komljenovic said he was surprised the court agreed to hear the appeal, but is pleased because it will give the BCTF the opportunity to not only argue for supports to be brought back

into school, but to talk about the bargaining process itself. “The government can talk to the union but, if it can then take away rights we have in our collective agreement, that’s not balanced bargaining,” he said. “One side has more power.” Bernier sad in recent months the government’s relationship with the BCTF “has never been better,” a sentiment Iker

echoed, citing the work being done on curriculum revision and changes to the foundation skills assessments. Iker said he hopes to see the government invest more in education when it tables its 2016 budget next month. “Enrolment is starting

to increase after years of decline and we know there are more students with special needs, refugee students and others with unique needs entering the system,” Iker said. “This is the year for government to make a real shift.”

Filisetti guilty in bear spray incident TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A former Kamloops mayoral candidate has pleaded guilty to assault with a weapon following an instance of “vigilante justice” outside his condo complex last year. But, if Pierre Filisetti completes probation without hiccups, he will have no criminal record. The father of three’s guilty plea came as a surprise yesterday in Kamloops provincial court, on what was supposed to be the first day of his trial. Filisetti, 57, was charged after an altercation in the earlymorning of Jan. 17, 2015, outside the Nicola Street condo complex where he lived. Court heard Filisetti, runner-up in the race

for mayor in Kamloops’ 2014 municipal election, confronted a man and a woman who had parked in a no-parking zone near his unit. Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo said Filisetti exchanged heated words with the couple before spraying the man in the face with bear spray. “This was obviously a situation where Mr. Filisetti was quite angry that they had parked here,” he said. “Vigilante justice may work in Western movies and Saturday morning cartoons, but not in Kamloops.” Defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen called the actions of his client “a poor, very brief, momentary lapse in judgement.” “He wants this behind him. He wants to move forward.” Jensen said media

coverage of Filisetti’s charges weighed on him and prompted regular counsellor appointments over the last year.

Kamloops provincial court Judge Len Marchand granted Filisetti a conditional discharge, placing him on nine months of pro-

bation with a weapons prohibition. If he maintains good behaviour for one year, he will have no criminal record.

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:

HOT: All things Ajax mine. KGHM Ajax,the company behind the open-pit mine proposal south of Aberdeen, will on Monday submit its long-awaited 18,000page application and will follow that by posting plain-language summaries online on Tuesday. That application submission was preceded this week by new data on the mining venture’s plans (see page A5 of today’s edition of KTW), along with city council’s decision to once again allow delegations to speak on the proposal and council’s bid to have the Interior Health Authority’s medical-health officer to study the document. One of the most controversial topics to arrive in the Tournament Capital will continue to be in the headlines for months to come.

OUR

VIEW

NOT: Our poor, battered buck. The Canadian dollar is falling faster than leaves in the autumn, with the loonie breaking through the 70-cent US mark this week. Some analysts are calling for the dollar to drop as low as 59 cents US, which would be a first for the currency. It would also surely severely impact the cost of imported goods and curtail trips stateside, while benefitting exporters and touristrelated businesses in Canada. HOT: Hockey fever in the Tournament Capital and region. Today marks the start of the annual Logan Lake Pond Hockey Tournament and that will be followed by next month’s big Hockey Day in Canada event, which in turn will be capped with March’s Women’s World Hockey Championship. We can hear Stompin’ Tom singing now . . .

Delegating confusion

f there are delegations of people wishing to speak to a local government agency on the proposed Ajax mine, they should be petitioning for time with Chief Fred Seymour and the Tk’emlups Indian Band council. After all, among all local government entities, the TIB is the only one granted a voice. Neither the City of Kamloops nor the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (where the mine would be operating) have any say whatsoever on the fate of the $1.3-billion proposal. Therefore, by re-admitting delegations into city council chambers, where they can speak on the proposed mine, council has opened the door for more confusion about the process. Based on calls to this newspaper and based on many questions and statements made at the city-organized town-hall meeting in September, the following fact bears repeating: the City of Kamloops has no power whatsoever in deciding whether KGHM Ajax’s proposed open-pit mine eventuality opens south of Aberdeen. The city should have input, as should the TNRD. But, since neither does have any say, why open council chambers once again to speaker after speaker when the choir to which they are preaching has no more power than the presenting delegation? When KGHM Ajax submits its 18,000-page application on Monday, it will set the timer on a 180-day application-review pro-

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS cess by the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. During these 180 days, there will be a public-comment period. At the end of the 180 days, two people in Canada will have 45 days to decide whether Ajax proceeds or remains a controversial proposal that never produced an ounce of gold or copper. These two people are B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak and federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna. And, for Ajax to proceed, it must receive approval from both Polak and McKenna. While the city has no pull in this issue, it has hired a consultant, SLR Consulting, to review KGHM Ajax’s massive application. Interestingly, the $300,000 tab for SLR to undertake that work is being paid by the mining company. At that aforementioned September town-hall meeting — where too many residents erro-

neously urged council to do this or do that to allow or disallow the proposed mine — the city compiled a list of questions from the public. Those questions have been added to 21 pages of issues already drafted by staff with council input over the past several years and all have been handed to SLR as it reviews KGHM Ajax’s application. SLR expects to have its review completed by mid-March. Add in the requisite 75-day public-comment period that is part of the 180-day application review, along with a two-day open house next month hosted by KGHM Ajax, along with the numerous opportunities to date for public comment and having delegations take up time at city council meetings becomes even more needless. Aside from the fact hearing from such delegations may confuse the public on the city’s mandate with respect to the mine application, do we really need more soliloquies added to what can be interminably long council meetings? Mayor Peter Milobar was spot-on when he said a return to council chambers of Ajax delegations will herald the resumption of a de facto speaker’s corner, with opinion piece after opinion piece after opinion piece resulting in absolutely nothing concrete.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

LAWS HOLD POLICE TO ACCOUNT Editor: Re: Wendy Dickson’s letter of Dec. 18 (‘Decision on pledge of allegiance a Royal pain’): The letter was critical of the decision of Madam J. Hyslop as it related to the admissibility of evidence obtained by the police by way of a questionable procedure. Judges, for good policy reasons, are not able to reply to such criticism. We, as lawyers and citizens, feel it is necessary to respond to that

letter and hopefully shed some light on this important topic. Judges are accountable within the system of criminal justice. Their decisions are made in open court and they are available for all to read and consider. Also, if either the crown or the defence feel the judge has erred, they have the right to appeal. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms is an integral part of the system of criminal justice. Its purpose is to pro-

tect all from improper behaviour on the part of the state and/or the police. Judges have the important and complex task of attempting to balance the duties of the police to uphold and enforce the law with the constitutional rights of citizens that have been mandated by the Charter. In the case mentioned, Judge Hyslop did hear and consider the evidence of police witnesses and subsequent arguments of both the crown and the

HONOUR PAST

defence prior to making her decision. The rule of law is an integral part of our democracy and, not only do judges and all parties within the court system have to be accountable, so do the police. Accountability by all parties when implementing due process gives rise to the values that make Canada a safe and great place to live.

CASE WASN’T THEFT? THINK AGAIN, ARBITRATOR Re: KTW’s frontpage story of Jan. 12 (‘City worker gets his job back’): Editor: Congratulations, Labour Relations Board arbitrator Robert Diebolt for your recent decision in the City of Kamloops vs. Joe Cupello case. What a farce. Had Cupello not had the backing of the Union, he would

have been sent packing long ago — and justly so, if you ask me or practically any other right-thinking individual. Just how many warnings does one person need in order to shape up? Mr. Diebolt says this was not “a case of theft.” I disagree. The employee took money from the city without having performed the

duties for which the remuneration was intended. Is that not stealing? I am a former union member and am happy for the wages and benefits it brought me. At the same time, I was utterly appalled at what lengths the union would go to protect workers who clearly and repeatedly demonstrated unacceptable

work habits. This only serves to minimize the contributions of those who honestly earn their money and gives the entire organization a bad name. “Cruel and unnecessary treatment,” the union calls it. I call B.S. It’s no wonder our country is losing its place in the world. We need ways and means to increase productivity, not

lower it. Decisions like this (of which I’m sure there are many) exacerbate the situation. Too bad the decision wasn’t to replace the worker with one who would perform to standard. Ron Wiebe Kamloops Editor: I take offence with

the arbitrator’s statement “this is not, for example, a case of theft.” What does he call it when a worker receives money for a job he didn’t do and tried to cover up? Did the worker earn his wage honestly or did he in fact steal it from his employer? Elaine Chambers Kamloops

Diversification key to success ‘I am not Donald Trump’ of economy, Trudeau says COLIN PERKEL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

KITCHENER, Ont. — Shifting away from reliance on oil and other commodities is key to Canada’s economic recovery and future growth, an upbeat Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said yesterday. Speaking at the opening of Google’s new Canadian headquarters, Trudeau acknowl-

edged the pain many people are feeling amid an unprecedented slump in oil prices. “The recent troublesome news coming out of Alberta and elsewhere is, unfortunately, not a surprise — we saw the trend lines coming,’’ Trudeau said. “That is why we put forward an ambitious agenda to invest in Canada, to count on Canadians to be able to

bounce back from low commodity prices by diversifying.’’ Despite the “difficult times,’’ Trudeau said he was optimistic about the country’s prospects, saying the opening of Google’s 17,000-squaremetre facility is an example of the “positive news’’ in the economy. Canadians, he added, have much to offer the world in

terms of innovation and forward thinking. “There are tremendous bright spots,’’ he said. Trudeau spoke of the increasing importance of the high-tech sector to the country’s economic future, with computers and how to program them critical to the sector’s success in a world undergoing “extraordinary changes.’’

SALE SALE

OTTAWA — Both of them are business titans, authors, and TV personalities — one actively running to lead the U.S. political right and the other thinking about doing the same in Canada. But, Canadian businessman Kevin O’Leary insisted the comparison with Donald Trump ends there. O’Leary confirmed he’s contemplating a move into federal politics by running for the leadership of the Conservative party. But, he insisted it’s not because of the surprise success Trump is having south of the border. O’Leary said he believes Canada is broken and needs better economic stewardship. But, he said, he wants to talk to his family and the party first before making a decision about whether he’ll run to succeed Stephen Harper — a race that’s not expected to begin in earnest until next year.

Federal finance minister says low oil, dollar add to importance of stimulus DUGALD, Man. — Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau says the low Canadian dollar and low price of oil make stimulus spending and tax cuts even more important. On a pre-budget consultation tour in Manitoba, Morneau said the Liberals are sticking with their plan to do both so

as to put more money into the economy. Morneau said the Liberals are paying close attention to the dropping price of oil and the lower dollar, but added there is still room for the government’s fiscal plan. The Liberal platform in last October’s election campaign

STORM FIGHT FOR DOUG BIRKS TITLE

KAMLOOPS HOPES TO IMPROVE ON DIVISIONAL PLAY IN SEASON’S HOME STRETCH ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ed Patterson admits it: the Doug Birks Division has not been kind to the Kamloops Storm. Or, perhaps more accurately, the Storm have been overly kind to the Doug Birks Division. On Tuesday night, Kamloops scored a 5-3 victory in Revelstoke against the Grizzlies — just their third in six meetings against the divisional rival — and Patterson said it was far from a perfect victory. So, what’s the problem? Aside from being what the head coach feels is the toughest divi-

sion in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, the Storm haven’t played their best hockey against the likes of the Grizzlies, 100 Mile House Wranglers, Chase Heat and Sicamous Eagles. “Being very complacent, having a young team,” Patterson said, listing reasons for his team’s struggles against Doug Birks rivals. “That’s what we talked about yesterday — we’ve taken Revelstoke for granted and haven’t played serious against them.” The coach said his team doesn’t necessarily need to be better against the division, but instead “tighter.

LOWEST COST OF OWNERSHIP OF ANY FULL SIZED PICKUP!**

“The guys have to understand the importance of the extra points in your own division and that kind of stuff — which is coming,” he said. Kamloops’ work within its division has been adequate, but not exceptional in 2015-2016. The club is one game back of a .500 record against Doug Birks opponents following Tuesday’s victory, with 10 wins and 11 losses in 21 matchups — four of the losses came in overtime. The club has a -6 goal differential in inter-division play, netting 59 goals, but surrendering 65. Against the rest of the KIJHL, meanwhile,

Kamloops boasts a 13-41-0 record, outscoring opponents 61 to 30. The Storm have gone 1-2-0-2 against the Wrangers, 3-2-0-1 against the Heat and 3-2-0-1 against the Grizzlies. Their only winning record is versus the basement-dwelling Eagles, against whom they’ve gone 3-1. When asked whether it was the Storm’s play or the talent in the division that had led to Kamloops’ middling record, Dario Piva said both have played a factor. “I don’t think it’s anything different. We’ve just got to be better, it’s as simple as that,” the 1998-

born forward said. “We definitely have not had any good games against them. We can always be better. There’s always room for improvement.” So, with 11 of Kamloops’ 13 remaining regular-season games against Doug Birks teams, and with the first two rounds of the KIJHL playoffs inter-divisional, the Storm are taking the next stretch as an opportunity to improve in hopes of reaching a third-consecutive league final.

Exploration continues on three-on-three OT frontier MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Three-on-three overtime has been a fascinating addition to the WHL this season and coaches across the league have been experimenting with different strategies. The Kamloops Blazers are 3-7 in games that exceed 60 minutes — 2-4 in contests decided in overtime and 1-3 in the shootout. One of the local majorjunior club’s OT wins came four-on-four, a 5-4 triumph over the Spokane Chiefs on Nov. 3 at Sandman Centre, and its first three-on-three victory was claimed against the Winterhawks, a 4-3 win in Portland on Jan. 9. KTW contacted a coach, Todd Nelson, who has developed a reputation for being a threeon-three guru, having installed a strategy with the Oklahoma City Barons that led to 14 overtime wins in American Hockey League play last season. “You have to look at your personnel to start with, what kind of team you have, to figure out how you want to deploy your threesome,” said Nelson, who moved on to coach the Edmonton Oilers on an interim basis in 2014-2015. “Every point is valuable. If you look at OKC last year, if those 14 points swing the other way, they’re not in the playoffs, so I think it’s vital to have a good strategy. “And, how do you do in shootouts? If you struggle, OTs are even more important.” Nelson returned to the AHL this season to take the reins in Grand Rapids and has led the Griffins to a record of 22-12-0-1, with a 2-0 mark in games decided in overtime. Kamloops suffered four overtime losses and three shootout defeats and missed the playoffs by two points last season. Head coach Don Hay and his charges know they need to be better down the stretch this time around in an ultra-competitive Western Conference. Nelson went on to list off key factors to success in the extra frame, among them maintaining puck possession, playing solid man-on-man defence, winning faceoffs, activating your goalie more often and making smart line changes. None of those ideas are foreign to Hay, but his team is yet to prove it has a handle on all of them. “With using the goalie, it’s something a coach says, but the players don’t really do it that

much,” Hay said. “The worst thing you can do in overtime is turn the puck over. “A lot of times you get tired and you get into a situation where you can’t make a play and the easy play would be to just fire it back toward our end. That way, the goalie can recover the puck and you give yourself a chance to regroup and get fresh people out there to attack.” A turnover in the offensive zone led to Everett’s game-winning goal early in overtime on Jan. 2, when the Silvertips edged the Blazers 4-3 at Sandman Centre. “If you have a breakdown, the player that ends up with the puck usually finds himself all by himself in a pretty good scoring opportunity,” Hay said. Nelson added it makes no sense to force a play in the offensive or neutral zone or make an ill-advised pass when there is usually a safety outlet at a player’s disposal. “If you don’t like what you see in the offensive zone, it’s fine to regroup, turn around and come back in a wave,” he said. “And, with the goalie, it’s like having a fourth man out there.” The Blazers’ bench boss noted his players have struggled to learn to make line changes in overtime when their team has the puck. “They think, ‘Why would I change now, if we have the puck?’” Hay said. “If you don’t change, you’re caught out there longer and you’re fatigued.” Neither Hay nor Nelson are against sending out three forwards or three defencemen, but personnel on their respective teams keeps them from doing that, they said, each coach preferring two forwards and one D-man. “With three defencemen who can move, mobile guys, you have the offensive component, but also the defensive component, where the defence understand when to stay back and when to join the rush,” Nelson said, advancing an argument for using three rearguards

in the extra session. Perhaps the toughest adjustment to make is moving to manon-man defence after finishing 60 minutes of playing zone. “It’s two different checking mentalities,” Hay said. “When we play five-on-five, it’s zone. Four-on-four is man-on-man. Three-on-three is much more intensified man-on-man. It’s a hard mentality to grasp.” Blazers’ netminder Connor Ingram works on puck-handling — an ability that takes on more importance with so much open ice in three-on-three OT — with goaltending coach Dan De Palma. “It’s just kind of a natural skill,” Ingram said. “I feel comfortable getting back there and handling it. I’m not the breakaway-pass king, though, I don’t think.” The 18-year-old backstop made another point worth noting about the new OT format — “Hey, it’s three-on-three. It’s a crapshoot.” All the strategy in the world can’t account for one bad bounce and, sometimes, it’s as simple as this: The better, faster, more-skilled players, or the best goaltender, will decide the outcome. That won’t keep coaches from tinkering with game plans. There’s more exploration to be done. “We’ve been getting better,” Hay said. “There are all different types of thought processes because it’s so new. You’re trying different things all the time.”

Alberta road trip

The Blazers surrendered a 5-1 third-period lead and fell 6-5 in a shootout to the Tigers in Medicine Hat on Wednesday. Kamloops (21-14-4-3), tied with Seattle in fifth place in the Western Conference, is playing the league-leading Hurricanes (31-12) tonight in Lethbridge. The Blazers will square off against the Oil Kings in Edmonton on Sunday before heading back to Kamloops.

Iegorov stars for Pack Volodymyr Iegorov has become the latest WolfPack athlete to be honoured in the Canada West’s weekly three stars. The native of Donetsk, Ukraine, a member of the Thompson Rivers men’s basketball team, was named the conference’s third star on Tuesday after tallying 36 points, 18 rebounds and six assists in two weekend games against the UBCOkanagan Heat. Iegorov is the third member of the men’s basketball team at TRU to be recognized in the Canada West’s three stars — Luke Morris and Josh Wolfram received nods earlier this season. The men’s basketball team will be in Edmonton this weekend to face the MacEwan Griffins.

Saints continue winning ways against Penticton

Led by 17 points from Emily Ferguson, the Norkam Saints picked up a 61-55 victory over Penticton High in senior girls’ AAA basketball this week. Cassie Morris added 13 points in support of the Saints and continued her rebounding dominance with 17 boards. On Wednesday night, NorKam soundly defeated Salmon Arm, playing to a 68-32 win. Billie Sankey led the way with 16 points, while Ferguson added 15. Morris had 10 points and 14 rebounds.

The Storm will play the Wranglers in 100 Mile House tonight, before returning to McArthur Island on Sunday for a 5 p.m. matchup against the Eagles. “You get to know your opponent and figure out what works and what doesn’t,” 1997-born forward Wilson Northey said, looking to the Storm’s next month of play. “We’re going to try and analyze the teams we play here in the next little while and make sure we’re tuned in in practice. That’s definitely something that is important and we’re going to be looking at for playoffs.” Piva echoed Northey, but also hopes to use a little intimidation. “Send a message to them about what playoffs is going to be like, maybe mess with their heads a little bit,” he said. “Mix up the systems, do all that, so they have to try and adjust to us, so they have to play our kind of hockey.” Patterson declined to pick ideal opponents for the Storm’s first two playoff rounds, but noted home-ice advantage will be significant. And, though it’s far from certain who will represent the division in the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference final, one thing is for sure — they’ll be a little worse for wear. “It’s the best possible case scenario for our players in this division because the quality of competition every single night is fantastic for them, for their development,” Patterson said. “It’s just it’s unfortunate that it’s going to be a grind come playoff time and whoever comes out, it’s more than likely going to take a toll on them to come through. “But, that’s playoffs, you’ve got to persevere.”

Points becoming precious at NHL halfway mark DONNA SPENCER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

The playoff bubble is a crowded place as the NHL rounds the halfway mark of the regular season. In addition to telling Calgary to get busy on a new arena for the Flames earlier this week, league commissioner Gary Bettman pointed out to the city’s business community that the parity among teams midway through 2015-16 could make for some interesting postseason races. “This past Saturday we reached the statistical halfway point of our regular season. Twenty-three out of our 30 teams were either in playoff position or within five points of a playoff spot,’’ Bettman boasted. It’s true it’s shaping up to be a photo finish, with the Pacific the tightest of the four divisions. Just nine points separated second from seventh Tuesday. The Calgary Flames yo-yoed from last in the Pacific on Dec. 7 to third last week before falling to sixth Tuesday

after two straight losses. “It’s crazy, the ebbs and flow and the movement in the standings,’’ agreed Flames forward Josh Jooris. The Washington Capitals (32-7-3) and Los Angeles Kings (27-12-3) were the only teams with sizable cushions atop the Metropolitan and Pacific divisions respectively. The Dallas Stars (29-11-4) leading the Central wasn’t a surprise, but the Florida Panthers (26-12-5) sitting in first in the Atlantic was. Of the Canadian teams, the Montreal Canadiens and Vancouver Canucks had tenuous holds on the third and final playoff berths in their respective divisions, while the Ottawa Senators, Winnipeg Jets and Flames were five points or less out of a wild-card berth in their conferences. The Toronto Maple Leafs, one of just two teams yet to play 41 games this season, and Edmonton Oilers were further out of post-

MLS SuperDraft unites Canadians NEIL DAVIDSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

BALTIMORE — The MLS SuperDraft unfolded beautifully yesterday for Toronto midfielder Richie Laryea. After a series of deals reshuffled the top of the draft, the University of Akron sophomore went seventh overall to Orlando City, where he will be reunited with friend and fellow Canuck Cyle Larin. The two talked the day before the draft, keeping their fingers crossed that they could be roommates next season. “It’s amazing . . . Cyle’s been my best friend ever since I was nine,’’ said Laryea, who just turned 21. “It’s going to be good.’’ How emotional was Laryea when his name was called at the Baltimore Convention Center podium? “I started crying a bit,’’ he confessed. “Then my mom told me to man up.’’ Larin, the first overall pick in last year’s draft, was named rookie of the year in 2015 after scoring a rookie-record 17 goals. Toronto FC chose Japanese midfielder Tsubasa Endoh from the University of Maryland ninth overall while Montreal opted for Clemson centre back Kyle Fisher 14th and the Vancouver Whitecaps picked Georgetown defender Cole Seiler 16th.

season contention, but the gaps were not insurmountable. The Habs started hot with nine straight

wins, but dropped into the pack losing 13 of their last 18. “First, take a step back and think how

many teams are in the position we’re in,’’ Montreal captain Max Pacioretty said. “We’re not in a

horrible position. “We had a great cushion before and we had a big gap between the teams, but let’s take

a step back and realize this season has a lot of games left and if we play the right way, we’ll like the results.’’

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Pest Management Plan: BC Hydro Power Line Corridors 2016-2021

The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the Pest Management Plan (PMP) applies. The purpose of the proposed PMP is to control vegetation under, above and near BC Hydro’s power lines in order to maintain the safe and reliable delivery of electricity to our customers. This plan applies to all areas of British Columbia where BC Hydro manages its transmission and distribution system and associated power line corridors, access roads and helipads. The proposed duration of the PMP is from April 2016 to April 2021. Vegetation incompatible with the operation of the power system will be controlled using: physical (manual brushing, mowing, girdling, grooming, pruning, tree removal), cultural (compatible land use), biological (release of parasitic insects to control invasive plants), and chemical (herbicide application) techniques, or any combination of these methods. The active ingredients and trade names of the herbicides proposed for use under this plan include: ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

aminocyclopyrachlor and metsulfuron-methyl – Navius or equivalent aminopyralid – Milestone or equivalent aminopyralid and metsulfuron-methyl – ClearView or equivalent aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl, and fluroxypyr – Sightline or equivalent aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl and triclopyr – Clearview Brush or equivalent Chondrostereum purpureum – Chontrol or equivalent clopyralid – Lontrel or equivalent diflufenzopyr and dicamba – Distinct, Overdrive, or equivalent glyphosate – Vantage, Vision or equivalent imazapyr – Arsenal Powerline or equivalent metsulfuron-methyl – Escort or equivalent picloram and 2,4-D – Aspect or equivalent triclopyr – Garlon products or equivalent 2,4-D – LV700 or equivalent

Adjuvant products may also be combined on occasion with an herbicide to improve its effectiveness, such as: nonylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol – Agral 90, paraffinic oils – Gateway, octadec-9-enoic acid as methyl and ethyl esters – Hasten NT, or siloxylated polyether – Xiameter or equivalents. The proposed methods for applying herbicides include: cut surface, basal bark, backpack foliar (low pressure spray), mechanical foliar (boom, nozzle, powerhose, or wick), or injection (hack and squirt, lance or syringe) techniques. A draft copy of the proposed PMP is available at bchydro.com/pestplanforcorridors. Alternatively, it’s available in person at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby; 1401 Kalamalka Lake Road, Vernon; 18475 128 Street, Surrey; 400 Madsen Road, Nanaimo; 3333 22 Avenue, Prince George. BC Hydro, the applicant for the proposed PMP, is located at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby, B.C., V3N 4X8. Please contact Tom Wells, Vegetation Program Manager, at 604 516 8943 or thomas.wells@bchydro.com for more information. A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the above address within 30 days of the publication notice.

Mebane and Rubin keys in Seattle’s top run defence TIM BOOTH

THE ASSOCIATEDPRESS

RENTON, Wash. — From afar, Brandon Mebane would look at film of other defensive tackles around the NFL and what Ahtyba Rubin was doing in Cleveland jumped off the screen. What he saw on the screen became even more impressive when Rubin decided to sign with Seattle last off-season and play alongside Mebane on the Seahawks’ defensive line. “He runs down the field like I never seen no big dude run down the field,’’ Mebane said. “He can run like deer. Like a big deer. He’s a great player.’’ On a defence with stars like Richard Sherman, Bobby Wagner, Michael Bennett and Earl Thomas — to name a few — players like Mebane and Rubin can get easily overlooked. It’s understandable because their positions on the interior of Seattle’s defensive line make it difficult to stand out. But, ask around about why the Seahawks had the best run defence in the NFL this season, giving up just 81.5 yards per game, and were successful twice in shutting down Minnesota’s Adrian Peterson and the reasons point back directly to

Mebane and Rubin as the instigators of that success. “They make plays and they make sure that me and K.J. [Wright] never really get touched,’’ middle linebacker Bobby Wagner said. “They’ve done a great job with that. I don’t know if you guys have noticed it on film, but sometimes [Mebane] calls out the plays before it happens and [Rubin] does a great job of two-gapping and keeping the double teams. They’re very crucial to what we do as a team.’’ The task before Mebane and Rubin this week is among the most difficult they have faced all season, trying to shut down Carolina in the NFC divisional playoff game on Sunday. There may not be a more challenging or diverse run game in the NFL to try and slow down. Whether it’s Jonathan Stewart carrying the ball, Mike Tolbert bulling his way through the line or the times quarterback Cam Newton keeps the ball in his own hands, there is not a more unique running attack in the league according to the Seahawks. “It is a really diverse run game. It is the most that we will see in the NFL,’’ Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “There is nobody that does more stuff and it’s basically

because the quarterback is such a dynamic part of it. . . . This is the most difficult offence that we face and it really is because Cam is such an adept player and they rely on him.’’ Both Rubin and Mebane entered this season with questions about how they could be effective for Seattle. Mebane was coming back from a serious hamstring injury that cost him the latter half of last season and the playoffs. He was also trying to come back from a significant injury at age 30 and playing a position where strength and explosiveness with his legs is a priority. “Can you imagine how big his hammy is? That’s a major surgery, a major injury to come back from,’’ Carroll said. “As we watched him in the off-season, through the summer time, he worked so hard to get back. I’ve said that he had one of his best offseasons ever. He had to, to get back. That usually pays you back, and he’s had a really good year for us.’’ Rubin was a bit of an unknown because of the lack of attention defensive tackles receive, but Seattle was confident in his ability to play the “three-technique’’ defensive tackle position and be able to cover two gaps of the

offensive line. What caught them a bit by surprise was Rubin’s speed chasing the play downfield. He recovered Adrian Peterson’s key fourth-quarter fumble last week 13 yards beyond the line of scrimmage. “It was really clear the first time we’d sat down and really talked about it. I asked him to try to be really stout as a three-technique at the line of scrimmage, and then we’ve seen you running the football, be great at doing that for us and show us that you’re a big guy that can chase,’’ Carroll said. “I wasn’t asking him something that he wasn’t ready to do, but we just kind of solidified what our expectations were. He’s done that all year long.’’

Lynch to play on Sunday?

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch was a full participant in practice on Wednesday, but coach Pete Carroll cautioned that was no indication whether he would play in the NFC divisional playoff game at Carolina on Sunday. Carroll said during his news conference that Lynch would be evaluated daily going forward. Lynch hasn’t played since Week 10 because of an abdominal injury.

Obituaries & In Memoriam FREDRICK ERNEST KODAK

STEVIE (EDWARD WILLIAM) STEPHENSON

March 17, 1923 - January 3, 2016

October 30, 1914- January 5, 2016 Stevie Stephenson of Kamloops passed away in Kamloops on January 5, 2016 at the age of 101 years.

It is with tremendous sadness that we say goodbye to our dad, loving husband and proud grandpa, on January 3, 2016, at the age of 92, at the Royal Inland Hospital.

He is survived by his son Terry (Nancy) and daughter Jay (John) Watson, eight grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren, sister in-law Olive Stephenson as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Dad was born to Paul and Amy Kotuk on March 17, 1923 in Pekoe, Alberta. He spent his younger years farming the family ranch and had many hilarious stories to tell about his escapades with his brothers and cousins. As dad reached his early teens, he struck out on his own joining the rodeo circuit and driving trucks. In 1941, he tried to join the army but was turned down because of his age. One year later, he was successful and became a very proud member of the Sea Fourth Highlanders- a pride that lasted his entire life. In 1946 he married the woman of his dreams, a union that would last 69 years. Dad became a carpenter after he retired from the service, and worked many different projects over the years. He retired at the age of 65, which freed him up to his other passions, fishing and hunting.

Drake Smith, MSW

Dad was born and raised in Watrous, SK where he left to attend Optometry College graduating in 1937.

Every Friday in KTW!

Married in 1941 Dad shortly thereafter enlisted and became part of W.W.II. Following the war Dad and Mom settled in Moose Jaw where he practised Optometry for many years as well as engaging in numerous other business “Adventures”. Dad was an active member and volunteer of the Moose Jaw Shriner Club as well as the Curling Club and the Golf Club.

Dad belonged to many organizations such as Wilderness Watch, Ducks Unlimited, and was a lifetime member of the Woodworkers Guild in Kamloops. Dad was predeceased by his father and mother, sister Eileen, brothers Jackie and Ken. Left to miss him forever is his loving wife Kathleen, daughters Doreen Taylor (Richard), Darlene Foley, Ellen Wakelam (Tom), grandchildren Gerry Hutchinson (Lynette), Brad Foley, Marcel Foley (Cherie), Tamra Foley, Tara Wakelam, Mandy Wakelam, Brock Wakelam (Cherise), great-grandchildren Ryan Wakelam, Zoe Wakelam, Samantha Foley (Brent), Lisa Goodliff (Devon), Nicolas Foley, Ryan Hutchinson, Andrew Hutchinson, Jayden Foley, Ashton Foley, Taylor Foley and greatgreat-grandchildren Marquis, Brooklynn, Lexie and Tahlia. Thank you to all the nurses on the 4th floor and to Dr. Rafhauser for their caring and dedicated treatment of our dad. There is no service by request. A Celebration of Life may happen in the spring. In lieu of flowers, any donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be gratefully accepted.

With two of his three children in Kamloops Dad and Mom moved to Kamloops in 1977. He was a member of the Kamloops Golf Course and later Mt. Paul Golf as well as the Kamloops Curling Club. Dad volunteered for meals on wheels, the Canada Summer Games and several curling events. He was a family man with an easy going positive personality. Dad had a great sense of humor and a quick wit and made friends wherever he was. Dad and Mom loved to travel and visited many destinations; however, Hawaii was his favorite. Sun, swimming, snorkeling, cards and cocktails made for a complete day. We would like to give a special thanks to all of Dad’s faithful visitors especially to Emil and Shauna, as well to his amazing care givers and nurses at Ridgeview Lodge. Thank you to Dr. Eccleston for his above and beyond care and attention of Dad.

Ask DRAKE Funeral Director

Q: Are funeral directors weird? A: Someone asked me that question this week, phrased a bit nicer. In a nutshell, yes. I’ve heard there are two main coping strategies: a sense of humour or a propensity to drink. I choose the former.

Lovingly remembered There will be no service at this time. If friends so desire memorial donations may be made to Kamloops Hospice or the Shriners Children’s Hospital.

RICHARD LANDRY

“If it’s not fun, we’re not doing it.”

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Richard Landry of Logan Lake, BC. Richard passed away at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC, on Monday, January 11th, 2016 at the age of 70. Richard is survived by his wife of 47 years Carol Landry (Brown) from Avondale, Newfoundland, his daughters Micheline (Sylvain Pinard) and Kerri Ann (Seth Bartman), his many brothers, sisters, brothers-in-law, sisters–in-law, nieces, nephews as well as many relatives and friends. Richard was born on April 16, 1945 in Nouvelle, QC to Edmond Landry and Simone Sleigher. Richard spent most of his working life in the mining industry and worked across Canada from Labrador City, NF to Pine Point, NWT. He spent the final years of his career at Highland Valley Copper in Logan Lake where he worked as a pipefitter from 1983 to 2009. Richard was known for his kindness and his caring for others. Regardless of the situation, he always approached life with a smile and a positive attitude. As a union and community activist, he was always ready to lend a helping hand or be a voice for those in need. He enjoyed being a mentor to young people and helping them find opportunities both in the community and at work. He was never short on good advice based on his own life’s experiences. An avid hunter and fisherman, he enjoyed spending time with his family and friends at the lake or at a favourite hunting spot. He always had a good story to tell about that big fish or the size of that moose. He always told his story with a smile and a twinkle in his eye, a sure sign of just a little exaggeration. A wonderful loving and supportive husband and father, a true friend and an outstanding member of the community, his departure has left a huge gap in so many lives. With his huge smile and sunny disposition, heaven is now a little bit brighter. A Celebration of Life is scheduled for Friday, January 15th, 2016 at The Logan Lake Community Church, with a reception to follow. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Richard’s life. In lieu of flowers, anyone wishing to make a donation may do so to the Kamloops Royal Inland Hospital Renal Unit through the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation. The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff at Royal Inland Hospital, especially those who took care of Richard in the renal unit. Their kindness and support will always be remembered. On-line condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com.

Edward was predeceased by his wife of 64 years Kris in 2005, his son Arni in 2004, daughter-in-law Dorothy in 2004, his brother John, his sister Beatrice and parents Bill and Jessie.

JAN MUNRO COOK Our highly regarded SuperGrampz, Mr. Mom, MacGyver, motor-head, exercise fiend, and salad maker extraordinaire, Jan Munro Cook died peacefully with his family by his side on December 12, 2015, at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House in Kamloops, B.C. at 74 years of age. Much to Jan’s dismay (as he would have preferred to go out in a ball of fire) he was dealt a sudden and precipitous battle with cancer. Jan was born in Victoria, B.C. April 30, 1941 to the late Thomas Stevenson Cook and Gertrude Helen Bride. His father, of which he was very proud, was a Captain on a Frigate in the Royal Canadian Navy. He taught him excellent manners and nurtured his distaste for tardiness. Jan was the eldest to three sisters Gretchen, Mardie and Charlotte. Shortly after his birth, his parents moved to Regina, Saskatchewan where Jan began taking apart anything he could get his hands on. He would see how it operated and put it back together in significantly better working order. Some of his earliest memories include taking down his tricycle to nuts and bolts in the driveway at 3 years of age. Among his multitudinous talents, for this one he was particularly earnest. He was well known for mastering his ability to tune a crankshaft and many lifelong friendships arose from this very talent. After graduating from Sheldon Williams Collegiate in 1958, Jan became a legit cowboy. Riding bad ass bulls, bare back broncos, traveling the Grand Ole US of A, and rodeoing throughout the completion of a Bachelor of Science from CalPoly in San Luis Obispo, CA. While losing a few teeth and gaining a few scars, he was simultaneously hell bent on all things he could make go faster. His love affair with motors included multiple motorcycles. One in particular, a Harley Davidson Sportster, held a Saskatoon record in open class for over 20 years, accompanied him to the Bonneville Salt Flats in 1972 where he ran 152.02 mph. Jan became a very proud, single father of two daughters in the 1970’s to the late Jessica Jeanne Cook and surviving Jayna Ruth Cook (Conklin). Jan was devoted to his two daughters and brought them with him absolutely everywhere. Mr. Mom and his two Mugwumps were found participating or spectating at many a rodeo, boat race, air show, drag race, and turbo charged 4x4’ing camping in the boonies. SuperGramps was an active member of the NHRA for years where he raced side by side with Jessica Jeanne. One of his many lifetime goals was to have a 7 second bike in his 70s. This goal he accomplished in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2012. He ran 7.83 seconds at 173mph on a 1428cc 1978 Kawasaki. When asked how it felt afterwards he said, “But did I look cool?” His most recent passion became jet skiing. Jan was frequently seen on the Thompson River with his surviving granddaughters, Ruby Jeanne Conklin (6) and Madeline Louise Conklin (3). A polite and conscientious man, he cared deeply about showing respect to those he cared about. Jan was interesting, intelligent, kind, devilishly handsome, and quite the jokester. Dedicated friend, father, and grandfather, he was passionate about having fun and showing his friends and family a good time. He had a great appreciation for all that he had experienced. One of the last things he was heard saying was “I had a barn burner, did anybody else have that much fun?” A Celebration of his spectacular Life will be held at the Calvary Community Church, 1205 Rogers Way, Kamloops, BC on Saturday, January 23rd at 1:00pm. All are welcome to memorialize his contribution to his family and community. Thank you to all those people, as you are many, who made his life as rich and lived as it was. A special thank you the Hospice House for your kindness towards him. Thank you for always making sure there was snuggle room for us.

Happiness more than pleasure, senses

s a part of the Prerna Festival Lectures in Mumbai in March 2009, Gauranga Prabhu gave a lecture called The Pleasure Hunt. In this lecture, he describes four levels of material happiness. Beyond material happiness is the happiness of the soul and beyond that level of realization is the happiness of devotion. The lowest level of happiness is the happiness of the senses. You experience this type of happiness when you eat your favourite foods, smell some flowers, watch a beautiful sunset, hear music and feel a warm summer breeze. All of these pleasures have something in common — they are limited. Having your favourite food every

day quickly becomes distasteful. Sunsets, whether of the painted sky of the prairies or the shimmering glimmer of the ocean, become a little less magnificent with each day. You can’t listen to the same music nor enjoy a summer breeze all day everyday. Higher than the happiness of the senses is the happiness of the mind. This is the kind of happiness experienced

by artists and writers in the midst of their creative energy. They can forget about eating and may lock themselves in their studios for several days because the amount of pleasure they are getting produces a higher level of satisfaction. Sports fans also experience happiness of the mind. It’s a Stanley Cup playoff game, final peri-

od, 2-2 score with five minutes left to go in the third period. Joe isn’t interested in pizza, fried chicken, ice cream or whatever favourite food. At that moment, he’s not even interested in a beautiful woman. However great the pleasure may be though, it is also limited. The game ends. Or, if every game

You experience this kind of happiness when you have a problem to solve. A scientist nearing a cure for cancer can lock himself away in the lab for days on end because he is getting an intense amount of pleasure from his research. Videogamers can stay locked at the control paddle for hours on end trying to break through to the next level. In Taiwan, more than one gamer got so involved in trying to solve virtual challenges they lost awareness of their physiological needs. When it came to pay for more time, the clerk went to ask for additional payment and found a dead patron. Our bodies limit how much happiness we can enjoy. The highest level of material happiness is the happiness of the ego. This type of pleasure is exemplified by Olympic athletes. To get a gold medal requires intense, highquality training on a regular basis over a period of several years. Who can sacrifice so much of their life? Only someone getting or expecting a higher pleasure.

Then, after the gold medal and all the fame and glory, comes loss and fear. Ten years later, your name is forgotten. Time has robbed you of those hardearned capabilities and, all the while, you have lived in fear. Will someone beat my world record? As a reaction to all the attention, you suffer from inattention and live in the past glory rather than in the present or with hope of the future. Above and beyond the four levels of material happiness is spiritual happiness, which arises from the realization, “I am not the body.” Its not the case that “I have a soul,” rather that “I am the soul” and “I have a body.” From this understanding comes two graces. One is fearlessness and the other is freedom from incessant desires. We become separated from all earthly connections and conceptions of material being at death but one in full realization of the self as the soul has separated himself while alive. Death causes no loss. There is nothing to fear. Because the soul has nothing to do with this world, it isn’t constantly striving to satisfy desires of the senses, the mind, the intellect nor the ego.

Identification of the self as the soul yields freedom from material pangs and peace but not eternal happiness. Who can be happy by and in themselves for eternity? If you had a great mansion with all the varied foods, stuff and luxuries you could imagine but could have no contact with any people, could you be happy? Could you be happy without anyone to love? Devotional happiness arises from understanding and loving God as a person. A lover showers gifts and attention on the beloved, always thinks of the beloved’s comfort and welfare up to the point of complete devotion. When directed toward the supreme personality of Godhead, that absorption creates unlimited ecstasy. It manifests itself in cent per cent absorption, in a constant effort to serve and satisfy the supreme. As the ultimate pleasure and constitutional position of the soul, such pure love awards the highest form of happiness. Does that sound worthy of endeavour?

COMPLIMENTS OF THE LAMPOST NAME: PHONE:

The Valleyview Lions Club is inviting all sports fans to bring a pair of socks to the Wednesday, Jan. 20, Kamloops Blazers home game against the Everett Silvertips. The club is collecting them as part of an ongoing sock drive, which kicked off last March and has seen more than 450 pairs of socks distributed to the needy. “The response has been terrific,” said Larry Grant, who offered to spearhead the initiative and has turned collecting socks into his passion. “It’s a labour of love for me. There’s a tremendous need.” He said socks are often over-

looked when it comes to donations — food and other warm clothing come first. But, he noted, a holey pair of socks — or no socks at all — are a discomfort to those already dealing with the weight of life’s obstacles. The Lions Club started collecting socks more than six months ago by knocking on doors. Soon after, Grant found socks at his doorstep and dropped off near his car. “It just took off,” he said. “That’s when I realized Kamloopsians are generous people. “When you do things for people in need, there’s just a special feeling about it.” The club distributes the socks

While Richard Wagamese was never forced to attend a residential school, every other member of his family did. “They returned to the land bearing psychological, emotional, spiritual, and physical burdens that haunted them,” he wrote once, noting it had a lasting effect on him. Wagamese will talk about how Canadians can move forward from that part of the national history when he presents The Face of Reconciliation on Wednesday, Jan. 20, at the Irving K. Barber Centre at Thompson

Rivers University. The talk is part of a Kamloops United Church project focusing on working with aboriginal peoples in the area to build relationships, said Ian McLean, who is heading the initiative. One of the goals is to provide opportunities for anyone to learn more about the history and legacy of residential schools and why apologies to former students, their families and their communities were required. The United Church of Canada was the first denomination to offer a public apology for the role it played in

residential schools. The church’s moderator apologized in 1998 after hearing stories of the damage the schools did, taking children from families and suppressing their culture and spirituality. Wagamese’s talk is being held in partnership with the aboriginal education department at Thompson Rivers University. The award-winning author said “true reconciliation has to happen between Canadians themselves. This is the work of all of us. “It’s neighbour to neighbour conversations about the things

that separate us and the things that can bring us together because residential schools not only left indelible scars on the survivors, they left the same scars on Canada.” Admission to the talk is free, although donations to Four Directions secondary will be accepted. Seating is limited for the 7 p.m. event and registration is required. It can be done online at kamloopsunited.ca. Seats can also be reserved by sending an email to aboriginalrelations@kamloopsunited. ca or by calling McLean at 250-372-3020, extension 101.

FINANCIAL MATTERS Saving And Managing Money

ELIGIBLE MEDICAL EXPENSES What’s on the list may surprise you

MANY CANADIANS AREN’T AWARE

of just how many medical expenses may qualify for tax credits – including devices, modifications and services from practitioners for medical treatments. You can claim certain costs that are not paid for by a provincial or private plan for you, your spouse or common-law partner, and dependent children under 18 years old1. If you have private coverage, your premiums qualify for a tax credit too.

DID YOU KNOW In addition to the cost of the devices and treatments, certain expenses related to maintenance are considered medical expenses. Examples include batteries for hearing aids or food and veterinary care for guide dogs. More information on what’s covered can be found at www.cra-arc.gc.ca/medical. If in doubt, keep your receipts throughout the year with a note explaining what each expense was for, and ask your accountant about them at tax time.

MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS The term “medical practitioner” includes a broad range of individuals in health care professions. For the purpose of the medical expense tax credit, health care professionals must be licensed or certified by a governing body to act as a medical practitioner in their province or territory. A summary of medical practitioners is available on the Canada Revenue Agency website2; check your provincial or territorial guidelines for a complete list. Here is a list of commonly authorized medical practitioners: RRSP contributions

essica Buchanan doesn’t need a script.

She knows what it’s like to step on stage without lines and is used to being at the mercy of the audience — eliciting laughs or falling flat. She can identify when a stage partner is in trouble just by looking at their face and knows collaboration, chemistry and trust are key. “It’s scary but it’s very exciting,” the codirector of Freudian Slips told KTW. “I kind of like doing improv because you don’t have to worry about getting your lines right.” The improv comedy troupe born out of Chimera Theatre held its first show in December and Buchanan said it went “really well.” She gauges success by faces in the audience. “It’s always really exciting when your friends show up and your family shows up,” she said, “but it’s way more exciting when people you don’t know show up.” The recent Thompson Rivers University graduate will keep busy this

year helping organize the troupe alongside co-director Brittany McCarthy and members Brooke Ballam, Shelyse Cameron, Andrew Cooper, Jeff Daniels, Kelsey Launier, Dan Ondang, Melissa Thomas and Montana Van Velzen. They rehearse two hours on Sundays, testing new formats with help from Thomas who, Buchanan said, has “many improv games stashed away,” some of which can also be seen during Project X Theatre Production’s

summer run in Prince Charles Park. Buchanan helped create the Freudian Slips after she graduated in December. The group is hoping to bridge a gap in local entertainment. “I think we’re filling a year-long niche,” Buchanan said. “We’ve made it our goal, we wanted to make sure there was an improv show every month.” She got her first taste of the theatre form back on campus. TRU’s theatre program

taught her the basics in first year and she honed her skills playing improv games with the TRU Drama and Theatre club. Improv takes many forms, she said, and Freudian Slips has three formats for its shows. One sees the eight improvisors each vie for audience applause, while another is a fully improvised production. The final format sees teams compete head to head and the group’s next show — Saturday night at Stage House Theatre — will consist of that format. It is dubbed Battle of the Genders. “We’re going to have males versus females,”

Buchanan said. Special guests Derek Rein will host the night and Dusan Magdolen will fill in on the male team. Stage House Theatre is located at 422 Tranquille Rd. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show beginning at 7:30 p.m. The show is best suited for those ages 16 and older. Tickets, which can be purchased at the door for cash only, are $12 or $15 with a drink ticket. Future shows include themes like Superheroes versus Supervillains and Harry Potter.

TRU Bargaining: The Facts What’s on the Table? Let’s compare the key proposals that Thompson Rivers University (TRU) and Thompson Rivers University Faculty Association (TRUFA) have on the bargaining table. TRU’s proposals are focused on excellence, accountability, recruitment/retention and research informed education and are consistent with the government’s Economic Stability Mandate. TRUFA’s proposals tabled on October 20, 2015 would have an estimated cost increase of more than 49% without including benefit improvements.

Terms and Wages TRU Proposal

TRUFA Proposal

TRU proposes a 5 year term (April 1, 2014 – March 31, 2019)

TRUFA has not proposed a term

TRU wage proposal is a total of 5.5%:

TRUFA wage proposal is a total of 45.9% and all changes to salary scale occur on April 1, 2015

1.0% April 1, 2015 0.5% April 1, 2016 1.0% February 1, 2017 0.5% April 1, 2017 1.0% February 1, 2018 0.5% April 1, 2018 1.0% February 1, 2019

Sessional faculty to be placed on scale between steps 1 – 12 at 100% salary

This results in:

Top of salary increase of approximately 11.5% from $130,050 to $145,000

Top of salary increase to $147,000

Sessional Salary increase: approximately 8.7% from $5661 to $6152 per course

Sessional Salary increase: $5561 to $10,125 per 3 credit course for the average sessional member. Other sessional faculty could see a wage increase as high as $11,635 per course

President’s Fund to address salary issues related to recruitment, retention and equity.

The first year of TRUFA’s sessional salary proposal would require all tenure and tenure-track faculty to take an 8.1% pay cut to stay within mandate

Health and Welfare Benefits TRU Proposal

TRUFA Proposal

Cost sharing of benefits for continuing sessional faculty based on previous 12 months of work

Create joint Benefits administration committee

Improve benefits overall for faculty in a cost neutral way, may result in increased premiums or cost sharing

• Hearing Aid from $600 to $2500

$500 Health spending account for sessional faculty with 50% workload

Increase levels of benefits:

CASCADIA REED QUINTET NEW GOLD CHAMBER MUSIC

attended Art College in the late 1980’s at the tail end of the post-modern movement and at the dawn of the Internet. Most of my instructors were modernists or post-modernists. It was a time when elitists reigned and there was such a thing as government grants for artists — it was just the same 10 artists got the $40,000 grants year after year. The art world ran on who you knew, status and greed. But, it was about to change and pretty much everything I learned in school, including computer technology, was obsolete when it was being taught. Today, there are no more art movements. The strength of art experts, art critics, aficionados and art elitists has diminished and their influence is so insignificant these opinions are no longer relevant to the majority of young artists. Art elitists have lost their power because, in order to have power within the art world, you need to be able to market an

art movement. And, for that movement to have any control or sway over culture, you need to have some kind of cultural context, artistic history and aesthetic. Today, our creative culture is amorphic and diffuse. Truly anything goes. No one group is saying what is good and what isn’t and, if they try, they will be challenged to back it up. Visual artists are left with a multitude of choices and avenues of self expression they can pursue. No one will try to stop them, bother to call their work bad or get upset over it. The main decision an artist has today is whether they want to make art for themselves as a hobby or try to make a living at it. Despite the fact elitists no longer have power to close doors on upcoming artists, artists have even harder challenges.

The very foundations of visual artists work are being transformed by technology. Delivery of art is no longer the same. Instead of going to galleries and viewing 20 original paintings, we can cruise through 200 paintings on our phone. When that intimate connection from the artist to the viewer is changed by media devices, the work looks and feels different. Has technology changed our experience of art somehow and made it into something else? Visual/artistic language is different from the language of information. The language of art is much slower. It takes longer to absorb. The web is designed for an instantaneous reaction. Maybe that’s where art needs to go, but not as a flat image. It’s not enough. Perhaps young art-

ists will create new visual experiences for viewers transcending the old brush on canvas approach. Artists could find new and better ways to communicate their cultural context, artistic history and esthetic and poetic sensibilities in a meaningful and intelligent way. I’m not saying painting is dead, but maybe we can find new ways to make paintings. Maybe art is on the brink of a new and wonderful paradigm. Maybe the next movement will be led and controlled by artists without the critics, dealers and elitists taking credit and control. Things are changing. We live in the age of information. Perhaps eventually information will hit a tipping point and bring us back to a time of aesthetic contemplation and eventually — art. karlapearcegallery.com.

Singleton added to bill When Jarekus Singleton released Refuse To Lose in 2013, he was immediately acclaimed a great new blues artist by many magazines dedicated to the genre. Washington Post also praised him, saying Singleton is “an exciting new young blues guitarist with melody, hooks, swagger and a strong, original voice.” The Mississippi-born Singleton will bring that voice and swagger north this year to perform at the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival in August. That release wasn’t his debut in the music debut, however; Singleton self-released Heartfelt in 2011, selling it at his performances and online. Sirius Radio’s B.B.King’s Bluesville put three of his songs into rotation and he started winning awards for his blues. To date, organizers of the annual musicfest, which runs from Aug. 19 to Aug. 21, have announced Amy Helm, Great Lake Swimmers, New Orleans Suspects, the Bros. Landreth and Whitehorse. Early-bird tickets are on sale now. They can be bought online at rootsandblues.ca. CHARLES SCHRODT PHOTO

KAMLOOPS COWGIRLS

Kamloops sisters McKenzie (left), Brett and Lane Wills are featured in Cowboy Up, a documentary airing on CBC-TV tonight at 9 p.m. The film is character driven and focuses on young cowboys and cowgirls who are “growing up cowboy” and dream of becoming professional rodeo athletes. It follows the triplets as they aim to win their provincial high school rodeo finals and get to the Nationals (their world championships) in Rock Springs, Wyoming. The show is a late addition to the CBC lineup tonight; it can be found under CBC Docs Firsthand to record, which may still be listed as Hold Your Fire due to the schedule change.

he mountaintop breeze brushes my face and bites through my woolen toque yet, in spite of the wind-chill factor, I feel warmed by the adrenaline that rushes through my veins. This thermal adjustment could be due to Mother Nature and the effect her surrounding beauty has on me. Or, it may be triggered by the anticipation I feel just before launching my downhill journey. This magical phenomenon happens every time I escalate to any of the mile-high pinnacles that hover over the resort town of Whistler. Aptly named, Seventh Heaven is the first of many scenic perches I revel from during my visit to this favorite North American playground. Jagged powder peaks embrace her divine summit and on this crisp, clear day, they contrast vividly with cobalt blue skies. Waiting to entertain my descent, is a sun-kissed bowl that glistens in its wintry overcoat. And, just beyond the wide-open terrain, is the fringe of evergreens where carved out runs, like Angel Dust and Cloud Nine,

offer blissful ways back to civilization. From my panoramic Blackcomb lookout, I also have vistas of her neighbouring sister, Whistler Mountain, where similar paradise pathways also attract die-hard skiers and snowboarders. Together, the compatible couple renders more than 8,000 skiable acres including 16 magnificent bowls, three scenic glaciers, and more than 200 marked runs. While some go in search of perilous fall lines and powder that is as light as goose down, the less adventuresome have

the choice of classic cruisers and wide open groomers. They funnel down to the quaint alpine village far below where lights decorate frosted evergreens and the pedestrian hub bustles with activity. Flanking the village’s interconnecting pathways are more than 200 stores. From souvenir shops, art galleries and accessory emporiums to gift stores, trendy fashion outlets and sporting good shops, there is something for everyone. Being a Vancouverite, I’d had the privilege of ski-

ing these slopes as a youngster, and watching Whistler evolve over the past four decades from what was once the town dump to the international acclaimed resort that it is today. But, Whistler’s roots extend a lot further back than mine do. Early settlers first trekked the three-day journey to the shores of nearby Alta Lake In 1911, Alex and Myrtle Philip followed their dream after purchasing four hectares of property for $700. Their remote fishing resort, Rainbow Lodge, attracted enthusiasts to the isolated area.

In 1914, when the Pacific Great Western Railway rolled in, it opened the valley up to the outside world. Exceptional service matched the superior fishing. By the 1940s, this remote destination reached its prime as a western hot spot this side of the Rocky Mountains. Outnumbered by other resort options the enthusiasm faded, thereafter, and it wasn’t until the 1960s this area became alive again. With a passion for powder and an insight into the big picture, a group of Vancouver business-

men developed what was then known as London Mountain into an alpine ski area in hopes of hosting the 1968 Olympics. Runs were carved into the hillsides and, in honour of the whistling hoary marmots that resided in rocky outcroppings, the name Whistler was contrived. Although the Olympic bid failed, the evolution of Whistler did not. Slowly, but surely, T-bars were erected, chair lifts were established and aluminum gondolas whisked ski hounds, like myself, over an hour-long

journey to Whistler’s sensational summit. Thirteen years later, the European — style village evolved. Blackcomb united in a symbiotic relationship with Whistler, manicured golf courses snuggled up alongside five star resorts and, in 2010, the Olympic Winter Games finally became a reality. It comes as no surprise this internationally acclaimed resort is, once again, ranked North America’s top ski resort. Even though Whistler has vastly expanded since those early days and my passion for steep terrain has waned with age, I realize from this mountaintop perch there are some things about this prime destination that will never change. The Sea To Sky Highway that paves the way will always boast some of B.C.’s most incredible vistas. The picturesque resort, dominated by glacial peaks, will always nestle in a valley of unspoiled beauty. And, from Blackcomb and Whistler’s sensational summits, I will always feel a thrill of excitement before launching off on every downhill journey.

CRUISE ALONG AN EXOTIC RIVER

xotic river cruises are growing in popularity — and you might want to add them to your bucket list. River Cruising has expanded from Europe to include some of the more exotic destinations in the world. Avalon Waterways’ 2016 cruise season includes new ships and robust offerings of diverse river landscapes. The company is also expanding its exotic cruise offerings, including a new ship partnership on the Amazon River. Further, travelers can access two new 36-passenger ships on the Irrawaddy and Mekong Rivers as well as small-group experiences on the Yangtze River. Experience views while sailing the world’s rivers and immerse yourself in a plethora of cultures in places like Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, China, Tibet, Egypt, Peru and the Galápagos Islands in the comfort of a floating hotel. Here are four unique river cruises to add to your bucket list:

Mekong River:

From its source high up in the Tibetan Plateau, the powerful Mekong River courses for over 3,000 miles through Asia, providing a lifeline for millions of people. Explore China, Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam, immersing yourself in the local culture. In Vietnam, cruise the massive Mekong Delta that covers an area of some 15,000 square miles.

KATE ASHBY

Cruising

This picturesque area is dotted by rice paddies, fish farms, fruit orchards and more. In Cambodia, explore Frenchinfluenced Phnom Penh, the spectacular Silver Pagoda and learn about the sobering Khmer Rouge regime. North of the city, cruise on the Tonle River, which connects the main Mekong with Tonle Sap or “Great Lake.” You’ll enjoy the scenery as the river narrows and passes through villages and woodlands and see the Asia other travellers rarely get to see. For the past three decades, “change” has been a constant for Vietnam and Cambodia as they diligently forge paths to the future. Today, these captivating countries are achieving a successful balance between modernization and ancient traditions.

Irrawaddy River

To travel to Myanmar, formerly Burma, is to step back in time to a place that has changed little since the British colonial era. As you cruise along, each day is a tapestry of exotic flavors, captivating panoramas and bustling river activity. Watch villagers

make candy from the sap of the toddy palm tree and wander through a pottery making village to see the process from start to end. Visit a monastery, where you will present alms to the monks and observe their daily lunch ritual and interact with children at a village school. Other highlights include a visit to a local farmer’s home to learn more about his work and life. Explore the 2,300 majestic temples that dot the plains of Bagan, including Ananda, one of the most beautiful of all the remaining temples. You may also ascend to the top of a temple for an unforgettable view of sunset. In Mandalay, visit Mahamuni Pagoda as well as Shwenandaw Monastery, the only surviving building from the original royal palace complex. In nearby Amarapura, visit U Bein Bridge for a sampan ride at sunset — an iconic image you won’t soon forget.

Yangtze River

The longest river in Asia and the third longest in the world, at more than 3,915 miles, the Yangtze river flows from the Tibetan Plateau in the west to the East China Sea. A China river cruise will take you through the impressive Three Gorges (Qutang, Wuxia and Xiling) and view the immense dam, China’s largest construction project since the Great Wall. Qutang, the shortest and most dramatic gorge, is an unimaginable place where you can nearly touch the perpendicular mountains rising from the

Yangtze river banks. You will sail more than 600 miles through the river’s most impressive stretch aboard the contemporary and elegant Century Paragon or Century Legend ships.

Amazon River:

A journey along the impressive Amazon River means you’ll experience the most inclusive adventure in one of the most unique areas of the world. Topping the proverbial bucket list is Machu Picchu. Your every need will be attended to as you experience the wilds of the Amazon while being cradled in luxury both day and night. From the Inca Empire to the Peruvian Amazon, travelers should experience Lima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and the Amazon. As we learned in history class, rivers have been used for transportation and cargo delivery for thousands of years, and as a result, great port cities were built along the rivers. Today, taking a ride down one of these famous rivers and visiting historical and exotic ports makes for a memorable and enriching vacation. Swap your usual holiday for something extraordinary this next year to one of the world’s most beautiful exotic rivers. Get inspired, start planning and go traveling.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Major supermarket competitors are determined solely by us based on a number of factors which can vary by store location. We will match the competitor’s advertised price only during the effective date of the competitor’s flyer advertisement.
