Camille: ‘Native elders have a voice’

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Mikayla Schriener and sister Tlell enjoy a brisk, sunny day in Ottawa. Mikayla, who has Type 1 diabetes, was in the nation’s capital to to lobby MPs for an expansion of a clinical trial network that could make a major difference in the life of diabetic children throughout B.C.

MP gets lesson in day in life of child diabetic

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Mikayla Schriener’s visit to Ottawa in November included all the usual sights — art galleries, museums, a bakery famous for once having sold U.S. President Barack Obama cookies.

But, a portion of the nine year-old’s trip was less typical.

Mikayla, who has Type 1 diabetes, was also in the capital to lobby MPs for an expansion of a clinical trial network that could make

a major difference in the life of diabetic children throughout B.C. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) brought 40 kids to Parliament to meet with MPs and share stories of life with the disease.

Mikayla, who was diagnosed before her second birthday, describes her life with Type 1 diabetes as “kinda hard, but it’s also easy at the same time.”

Her mother, Sara, has a slightly different view of the situation.

“I think it’s easy because she doesn’t know

any different. But, it’s not that easy,” she says.

Making a decision to play soccer during recess at R.L. Clemitson elementary — Mikayla’s favourite break-time activity — means a low blood sugar trade-off.

Visiting the hospital eight times a year is routine.

“She checks her blood sugar 10 times a day, sometimes more,” Sara says.

“We manage every aspect of her life — all

her physical activity, what she eats, when she goes to bed, how hot it is outside and how that affects the insulin running in her body.

“It’s constant.”

To explain that to Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP Cathy McLeod and KelownaLake Country MP Ron Cannan, Mikayla spent hours creating a scrapbook illustrating a day in her life.

A tired but still determined Evelyn Camille had her first meal in several days as she ended her fast in her sweat lodge in support of the First Nations Idle No More Movement.

“Pancakes, eggs, hashbrowns, sausages, fruit cocktail I made myself — it was good,” the 73-year-old member of the Tk’emlups Indian Band (TIB) said.

Camille entered the lodge on her West Shuswap Road property on Wednesday, Jan. 2, vowing to not take in any food or drink for four days in support of a hunger strike by Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence in Ottawa.

Spence began her protest on Dec. 11 on an island within view of the Parliament Buildings, demanding a meeting with “I haven’t heard from Prime Minister Stephen [Kevin] Krueger and [Terry] Harper to discuss issues Lake. I thought we were affecting First Nations friends. Where are you, my buddies? Not even throughout Canada. a phone call?”

Camille, after talking — Evelyn Camille with her spiritual advisor, decided to replicate the protest to support Spence’s cause.

The elder said she did not have any food or drink for four days but, due to the concerns of her family, had some broth her daughter-in-law made on Sunday, Dec. 6.

In ending her fast, Camille said the most difficult time was Friday, when she became thirsty — “but you just get past it.”

During her fast, a representative of KamloopsThompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod gave her a copy of Bill C-45, federal legislation on which Spence has focused her protest.

2012: Year of building boom

Pot hearing on backburner

By Andrea Klassen

City will wait on Ottawa

STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

For the first time since 2008, Kamloops has handed out more than $200 million in building permits in a single year, with statistics showing $202-million in permits were given out in 2012, compared to $162.5 million in 2011.

City staff had originally predicted they would hand out between $130 and $150 million in permits last year, but a number of major projects drove the estimate up.

Among those was the Telus data centre.

Its $30-million permit accounted for nearly all the $31-million in commercial-building permits issued in December 2012.

“That’s the one that put us over,” said city director of development and engineering services Marvin Kwiatkowski, who expects the big-ticket projects to continue into 2013. “There’s still some others coming through the door, so I think we’re going to have a good start this year as well.”

Among the projects on the horizon are an $8-million permit for interior work on the new law building (the revamped Old Main Building) at Thompson Rivers University, a new $2.2-million John Deere dealership and a $60-million permit for the new clinical-care and parkade building at Royal Inland Hospital.

“It’s positive, because it’s putting people to work,” Kwiatkowski said. “When you’re having large projects of that nature, you’re having a lot of activity in the city. So, that’s a positive for our economy.”

After two years of relatively flat residential-construction numbers — 350 units of new housing were built in 2012, compared to 400 in 2011 — Kwiatkowski said that sector will probably pick up this year.

“We’ve got three larger multi-family projects, totalling just over 200 units. It could be close to $20 million with these three projects alone,” he said. That is more multi-family units than were built in the city in all of 2012.

For 2013, Kwiatkowski is predicting the city will hand out about $160-million in permits. Taking into account the projects he’s already aware of, Kwiatkowski is confident that target will be met.

“If you throw in all these projects here, including the hospital, we’re close to $100 million. And, if I put in residential like we’ve had the last couple of years, that’s another $40 million,” he said.

From there, smaller projects should fill the $20 million gap.

Kwiatkowski is also hoping to see more singlefamily home permits handed out in 2013 — a trend that often follows a period of heavy commercial construction.

No foul play in train-track death

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The identity of a man hit by a CP train on Thursday, Jan. 4, has been confirmed by the BC Coroners Office — Christopher Scott Hobbs, 25, of Kamloops.

Kamloops RCMP Const. Bernie Ward said foul play is not suspected and the case remains under the direction of the BC Coroners Service.

Hobbs was struck at

4:39 a.m. by a westbound CP Rail freight train near the Pat Road crossing in Dallas.

The train crew saw a man lying on the tracks, but was unable to slow the train down in time.

Hobbs did not respond to the train’s whistle.

CP Rail mediarelations manager Kevin Hrysak said the crew, which he believed is based in Revelstoke, has been offered the services of the company’s family-assistance plan

for counselling and other services.

“Every crew member takes these incidents in different ways, as some crews can go an entire 35-year career without having to experience such an incident and others can be the complete opposite,” Hrysak said.

“We do not go into detail on our crews’ condition for privacy purposes, but know that they would appreciate people caring about their well-being after such an incident.”

On the issue of medical marijuana, the City of Kamloops has opted to let the federal government act first.

Marvin Kwiatkowski, the city’s director of development and engineering services, said a public hearing on restricting medical grow-ops originally planned for this month is being pushed back to spring, to ensure it falls in line with new Health Canada regulations.

In November, council agreed to take to public hearing a bylaw change that would restrict medical marijuana grow-ops to industrially zoned land.

Not long after that, the federal government announced it was moving ahead with an overhaul of its own Medical Marihuana Access program.

Rather than allowing those with prescriptions for medical cannabis to apply for licences to grow their own supply, new regulations would set up a series of commercial grows to provide product to users.

A 75-day public comment period on the new changes runs until Feb. 28.

“They are the overriding regulatory authority on this issue, so we’re going to let that play out first and then we’ll finalize our bylaw,” Kwiatkowski said.

While a staff report on medical marijuana will be on the council agenda on Tuesday, Jan. 15, it will update council on what’s happening at the federal level and doesn’t move the Kamloops process ahead.

Kwiatkowski said postponing the public hearing will allow staff to tweak the bylaw if needed, though at this point, he said he doesn’t see anything in the new federal regulations that conflicts with the local restrictions.

Taking transit? There’s an app for that

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Want to take the bus in Kamloops, but don’t know Route 3 from Route 13?

As today, all you’ll need to know is your starting address, your destination and how to look up Google Maps on a computer or smartphone (maps.google.ca for future reference).

The popular mapping website now contains all of B.C. Transit’s routing information for the Kamloops area, from bus-stop locations to departure and trip times.

To plan a route, visit the Google Maps site, click ‘get directions’ and select the bus icon from a series of options.

From there, all that’s needed is a departure point, a destination and the day and time the journey will take place.

The website then generates a map that includes instructions on what bus or buses to take, as well as when and where to catch them.

B.C. Transit has already rolled out the route-planning service in three other communities: Whistler, Victoria and Kelowna.

There’s no charge to use the mapping service — nor was there any cost to the city or B.C. Transit to put the information online, said city transportation planner Erin Felker.

“It was information we already had,” she said. “It was simply a matter of uploading it and letting Google do the rest.”

B.C. Transit CEO Manuel Achadinha said the new tool will make it easier for new riders to try public transit.

“It’s a very simple tool,” he said.

The price tag was also a perk.

“We did not want to spend a lot of money on a very sophisticated tool that would be difficult to use.”

Felker said a better route planner was one of the most common

requests from riders, in particular Thompson Rivers University stu-

dents, and the new tool is getting positive reviews from TRU

Student Union president Dustin McIntyre.

McIntyre said that the route planner, combined with an increase in service hours in 2012 and new bus shelters, make the current transit network “the best system this city’s ever seen.”

‘Tis the season for norovirus and influenza

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

One of the holiday season’s least-welcome visitors has arrived.

Since the beginning of December, the Interior Health Authority has already recorded 13 outbreaks of norovirus, a highly contagious gastrointestinal infection sometimes known as the “winter vomiting disease”.

Dr. Andrew Larder, senior medical-health officer with the IHA, said the virus is far more active in the winter and, like the flu, tends to show up as the Christmas season approaches. “[The outbreaks] are from schools that had high levels of absenteeism because of vomiting and diarrhea, and there were a few outbreaks in acute-care and residential-care facilities as well,” he said.

“And, that’s happened right across the health authority — and it’s absolutely typical for this time of year.”

While Larder would

not name the facilities affected by the virus this year, Ridgeview Lodge, a 130-bed care facility on Desmond Street, is one.

with them.

Norovirus outbreaks have been reported around the province in the last week.

REMEMBER THAT FLU VACCINE YOU RECEIVED? After two years of late peaks, Kamloops’ flu season has returned to its usual patterns.

Dr. Andrew Larder, senior medical-health officer with the Interior Health Authority, said reports of flu cases began to increase the week before Christmas.

In the past couple of years, the season has started later than normal, with cases increasing in January and February.

“We’re following the absolutely typical time course,” Larder said. “We haven’t reached peak yet and that’ll likely come in the next few weeks.”

This year, the predominant strain of influenza is H2N3, which is matched to this year’s flu vaccine. That means those who got the shot should be protected, Larder said.

However, for those without the vaccine, Larder cautions this particular strain of the flu can produce more serious symptoms, particularly in the elderly.

Larder said when an outbreak is detected in a care home, staff have a protocol to follow to minimize the virus’ spread and the health authority tries to avoid transferring residents out of the home in case they take the bug

City of Kamloops

One outbreak shut down an entire floor of Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster. A ward at Vancouver General Hospital were also hit.

While sometimes called a stomach flu,

Norovirus doesn’t have the same symptoms as influenza.

With the flu, sufferers experience sore throats, coughing and other respiratory complaints.

Norovirus sufferers do not.

Instead, those with the infection will typically experience vomiting and diarrhea, as well as fever and muscle pains.

Symptoms usually subside within 24 to 48 hours, while a nasty bout of the flu can take up to 10 days to run its course.

Larder recommends frequent hand-washing to combat the disease’s spread.

“The very basic thing is good hygiene,” he said.

“This thing is spread by what’s called the fecal-oral route, so it’s spread by getting contaminated virus on your hands and spreading it to your mouth and eyes and lips and things.”

DODGE THE WINTER

LOCAL NEWS

Slow-speed pursuit in the snow After a “very slow-speed pursuit,” Kamloops Mounties were able to corral a senior who used his electric scooter to leave Ridgeview Lodge in Brocklehurst early on Monday, Jan. 7.

Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said staff at the Desmond Street facility for seniors phoned police at 4:40 a.m. for help when they realized the resident at the home had headed out into the snowstorm that was blanketing the city, accompanied by below-freezing temperature.

Staff told police there had been no

specific incident or event that may have triggered his decision to leave, nor had he showed any harmful or threatening behaviour before.

Staff were concerned about his lack of appropriate clothing and that the decision to head out in the middle of the night might indicate he was experiencing the early stages of degenerative mental functioning.

Learned said police searched the area and noticed a set of tracks they believed had to have been made by the scooter.

The tracks overlapped several times and, as officers followed them, they discovered the 70-year-old had been doing laps around the block.

“He was corralled and stopped in what officers said was a slow-speed pursuit,” Learned said.

The man was co-operative and agreed to head back to the residential facility, where he parked his scooter and handed its keys to staff.

The senior was taken to Royal Inland Hospital this week for assessment.

Kamloops man dies in Coquihalla Highway crash A Kamloops man is dead after a singlevehicle crash on icy roads on the Coquihalla Highway on the weekend.

RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen said the 44-year-old Tournament Capital resident was

driving a red Suzuki SUV on the Coquihalla Highway near the Falls Lake exit — between Hope and Merritt — on Sunday, Jan. 6, when the vehicle left the road.

Investigators believe the driver lost control due to icy conditions.

Thiessen said the SUV struck a snowbank and a light standard, crushing its roof.

The driver was pronounced dead at the scene, while his 38-year-old wife was extricated from the vehicle by an off-duty

Police seek smoking man in murder probe

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE

The Council of the City of Kamloops hereby gives notice that it will hold a Public Hearing:

Kamloops homicide investigators are hoping tips from the public will help them identify a man seen in the area where a 15-year-old girl was found murdered last month.

RCMP Const.

Bernie Ward said a number of witnesses have reported seeing a man smoking a cigarette in front of 580 Dalgeish Dr. at about 7 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 5 — hours before the body of CJ Fowler was found on the slope of a nearby ravine.

“The police have not yet identified this male, so if you think this may be you, or you may know this person, please contact the Kamloops RCMP,” Ward said.

He said investigators are still hoping to talk to anyone who was in the Dalgeish or Guerin Creek areas between 1 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 5 who has not yet come forward.

Fowler’s body was discovered by a man walking his dog in Guerin Creek.

Police have remained tight-lipped about their investigation, but said the girl had been in Kamloops for less than a week when she was killed.

Investigators believe Fowler had a bus ticket to return to Terrace, where she lived, on the day she was killed, and are considering the possibility she was on her way to the Greyhound station on Notre Dame Drive prior to her murder.

Mounties have

also released a still photo taken from a surveillance video at Royal Inland Hospital showing Fowler in the early-morning hours of Dec. 5.

Anyone with information can call police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

A real hero for Canada’s aboriginal population

T

HE CENTURY-OLD plight of Canada’s aboriginal people is back in the public eye, thanks to protests dubbed Idle No More.

As with Occupy protests last year, the demands are vague.

One of the claims, repeated in media coverage of protests, is that the federal government is moving to end the historic Indian Act restriction against selling reserve land.

A look at the federal legislation, Bill C-45, shows this is not the case.

Amendments ease restrictive provisions for leasing reserve land, which remains property of the Crown held in perpetuity for the aboriginal community.

This change was initiated by B.C. aboriginal leaders so they can follow the trail blazed by one of the most entrepreneurial chiefs in Canadian history.

His name is Ron Derrickson and he served six terms as chief of the Westbank First Nation near Kelowna.

One of my first big reporting assignments was covering a Royal Commission into his administration’s business affairs in the mid-1980s.

There had been an astonishing 17 federal investigations before that, stemming from local claims that Derrickson was just too successful.

He drove a big black Mercedes, wore expensive suits and established a bunch of enterprises, including Canada’s first waterslide.

The commission was chaired by John Hall, then known as the Crown prosecutor who put serial killer Clifford Olson away and now an

TOM FLETCHER Our Man in

VICTORIA appeal-court judge.

Derrickson’s suit jacket had a conspicuous bulge as he took the stand each day. He was packing a semiautomatic pistol, having demanded and received a carry permit after a brutal attempt on his life.

The hit man, an ex-cop, was hired by people who didn’t like the bottom-line way Derrickson ran Westbank’s lease-hold mobile-home parks.

He showed up at Derrickson’s home one day and tried to beat him to death with a metal bar. Badly injured, Derrickson made it to his gun cabinet and shot his assailant, who survived to go to prison.

Derrickson testified that his approach to Indian Affairs bureaucracy was simple.

He did business and, if they didn’t like it, they could tell him. Reserve land can’t be sold, so he leased it, offering people a low-cost way to enjoy the sunny Okanagan.

His business plan was also simple.

Drive to California and see what they’re doing.

Drive back and do it in B.C. A 2007 profile of Derrickson by Greg Fjetland in Canadian Business magazine describes how he came by his approach to Ottawa.

He grew up “dirt poor, living in a tar-paper shack.” His family name was Tousawasket until the local Indian Agent drew an Anglo name out of a hat.

He and his brother were the first aboriginal kids to attend public school in Kelowna.

Racist bullying drove his parents to move him to a residential school in Washington state.

He dropped out in Grade 9, toiled on farms, learned to weld and worked his way into ranching, real estate and politics.

He never gave up or backed down.

The Hall Commission and all previous government probes concluded he did nothing wrong.

Derrickson sued his local accusers and won — and Ottawa began to change its racist, paternalistic ways.

Which brings us back to today.

Derrickson’s pioneering work is still changing the Indian Act for the better.

This effort is under dishonest attack from people whose legacy is mainly incompetence and failure.

Protesters demand more unearned public subsidy and a petulant souponly strike is celebrated as an act of bravery.

Choose your own hero.

I’ve chosen mine. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

That there is shameful poverty and squalor on many First Nations reserves across Canada is indisputable.

The reasons for the conditions are very much in dispute.

Attawapiskat First Nation Chief Theresa Spence has garnered an immense amount of attention for her decision to fast in Ottawa as she demands an audience with Prime Minister Stephen Harper to discuss these very abhorrent conditions experienced by some natives.

However, recent developments have shone a critical spotlight on Spence and her band’s administration, with the leaking of an audit that claims there is little or no documentation for millions of dollars spent by the band.

Asking for documentation is practising fiscal prudence and should not be opposed by individual bands.

The CBC aired a revealing news report in late 2011, during which some Attawapiskat members were critical of spending by the Spence administration and decisions made within, decisions that saw new homes sit empty for months due to Spence and her council not following proper protocols with respect to federal funding.

Billions and billions of dollars are earmarked for about 600 First Nations bands in Canada.

The money is either getting diverted within the massive government bureaucracy or is being mishandled at the band level — or both — because it is fully evident those who truly need the funds to help improve their lives are not on the receiving end.

There are too many questions (for example, why does Attawapiskat, with a population of 1,800, have a full-time paid band council of 21?) and not enough answers, an equation that inevitably leads to occasional protests among natives (such as the current Idle No More movement) and the racist responses to the calls for change.

Change is needed. It has been needed for a very long time.

How to achieve the needed change is the debate and, yes, it will eventually boil down to dollars and cents — and a healthy serving of common sense, as well.

So much for responsible resource development Editor: I write this letter out of total frustration with the propaganda Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod is trying to sell intelligent people, many of whom know better.

McLeod has listed the responsible measures her government has taken to ensure responsible development of our natural resources and to build on Canada’s strong safety systems.

She said “responsible” development will create and sustain highvalue jobs, generating billions of tax revenue.

She then stated

“development” will not proceed unless it can be done safely and responsibly.

McLeod acknowledged we are world-class producers of natural resources and “must have world-class safety and environmental protection.”

She stressed resource development must depend on sound science and world-class standards.

How can our MP make these pronouncements when she supported — and, apparently, still does — the gutting of the Fisheries Act? This act contained the only serious legislation designed to protect our

MP CATHY MCLEOD: KTW reader frustrated with Conservative ‘propaganda.’

lakes, streams and rivers from increasing development threats.

It was under the Fisheries Act that many of our important salmon and trout streams and lakes were retained in semi-pristine conditions.

To make matters worse, McLeod also obviously supported the government firing of the majority of highly trained professional biologists from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans habitatprotection section — the very people who used science to protect our waterways and fisheries from poorly planned or located developments.

Fish and fish habitat now have little or no protection.

To compound this environmental disaster that McLeod’s government has imposed on our natural aquatic resources, she apparently

supported major changes to the Navigable Waters Protection Act. The disaster this will create for our fisheries resources has not received much media attention.

To summarize, it will specifically list waters that contain fish or fisheries of commercial or recreational value.

Unlisted waters or those with minimal commercial or recreational value will apparently be up for grabs.

So much for responsible, Conservative resource development.

TALK BACK

Q&A WE ASKED Are you going to make a New Year’s resolution?

SURVEY RESULTS

YES 13% NO 87% 81 VOTES WHAT’S YOUR TAKE? Will there be NHL games at any point in this 2012-2013 season?

Neighbour, won’t you let them, let them play some rock and roll . . .

Editor: I have lived in the same place in Kamloops for a couple of years and I get along with most of my neighbours quite well, but one of them is less than neighbourly.

I admit I have a rock band and sometimes we are a bit loud.

I can understand a neighbour not being happy about the noise.

What I can’t understand is someone who doesn’t come over and ask us to turn it down.

We would have been very apologetic and turned our volume down to an acceptable level, had he done this.

My neighbour didn’t say a word to us about it.

Instead, he first called the RCMP and tried to have me arrested because I smoke pot as

a medication.

He then called the city and tried to have my closed-in carport taken down because of alleged permit problems.

The problem is, had he simply come over and asked us to turn down the music, we would have.

Who is the real bad neighbour in this situation — us for being a bit loud or him for the routes he has taken to make us turn down our music?

We passed the city’s decibal-level test. Our equip-

ment doesn’t go loud enough to be considered a noise-bylaw issue as we only have 100-watt speakers hooked up.

I would like to remind people that the city and police are lastresort services, not the first contact in a case like this.

Try talking to the neighbour who is making noise.

This person has angered us and we feel justified to play it a little louder due to the fact he hasn’t ever addressed any of us personally.

Without anger, there is no place for anger. If we had known he was being disturbed, we would have turned down the music.

Again, who is the bad neighbour in this situation?

Two men were in court this week, facing several charges related to an attempted break-in at the Columbia Motor Inn, 573 West Columbia St., on Sunday, Jan. 6, and a separate house invasion in the 300-block of Fortune Drive last month.

Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said two men wearing masks tried to enter a room at the motel at about 3:30 a.m.

The room’s occupant yelled at them they had the wrong man and called police.

Officers arriving at the motel saw a vehicle leaving and stopped it.

The three occupants, two men and a woman, were arrested, but the woman was later released.

Learned said a 45-year-old man was arrested for break and enter and disguise with intent.

A 27-year-old designated prolific offender was arrested for break and enter and failing to comply, related to existing probation requirements.

He will also face assault with a weapon, break and enter and failing to comply with a probation order charges from a home invasion on Saturday, Dec. 29, in the 300-block of Fortune Drive.

Learned said additional charges are possible as police continue their investigation into property found in the vehicle.

ADA CHRISTINE MYRAM (Koester) March 23, 1917 – January 2, 2013

James Allen Johnston 1927 – 2013

Born in Cremona, Alberta in 1917, Ada leaves behind her children, Leslie (Ev) Myram, Dennis (Bev) Myram, Margaret Frick, Pat (Michael) Kitamura, Gordon Myram; 11 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren and 10 great-great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband Frank, daughter Gail and granddaughter Loanne.

Ada spent her early years growing up in Alberta. She married Frank in 1934. After leaving Alberta, they lived in Agassiz for 10 years before moving to Kamloops. From there, they moved to the quiet community of Tete Jaune Cache in 1968. Ada and Frank then settled back in Kamloops in 1982.

Ada loved God and lived her faith in quiet action. She was a cheerful, wise woman who loved well. She was a blessing to her family to whom she was truly devoted. Although gracious and gentle, Ada had a great strength about her. Never one to be idle, her many talents included knitting, crocheting, quilting, sewing, cooking and gardening. Ada also enjoyed fishing (and she caught many a big fish) and camping. She leaves us with many handmade treasured heirlooms, fond memories and favorite recipes.

Ada passed away peacefully and with the same Grace that she lived her life. For those who knew her, familiar parting words from Ada would always be, “Good-bye, God Bless, and be Happy!”

A special thanks to the Renaissance Retirement Home; all staff at Overlander Extended Care (OEC), and the Ladies Auxiliary to OEC for their kindness and compassion to Ada and her family.

A Funeral Service was held at 11:00 am on Monday, January 7, 2013 at the Kamloops Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Ladies Auxiliary at OEC, 953 Southill St., Kamloops, BC, V2B 7Z9.

ALLAN “ALLIE” WALL It’s a sad day when we have to say good bye to a kind, warm, caring gentleman who, for those that were lucky enough to have had him be a part of their lives, we will be eternally grateful. Allan was born August 26th, 1965 in the Crowsnest Pass, the eldest of 3 children, and passed away January 4th, 2013.

At the young age of 15, like many Canadian young men, he pursued his dream of playing junior hockey and was picked up by the Merritt Centennials. During his time in Merritt, he developed a strong love and appreciation for this part of the world, and began the adult phase of his life there. He began his career in forestry with Sanders & Co., and through the years developed many lifelong friendships. His work took him to the far North, where he met and fell in love with his life partner Kory. An avid outdoorsman, Al always looked forward to his annual hunting and salmon fishing trips. He was passionate about many sports, with golf being his true obsession. He was forever taking lessons and practicing, trying to master a game he both loved and hated.

On the golf course as in life, Al was always competitive, cheering on the underdog with compliments and support, but accepting victory in his modest, humble way. Rarely a day went by that Al didn’t bring sunshine into your life, tirelessly helping friends and always keeping things light with his dry sense of humour.

He is survived by his Mother Mary and Father Stan, Brother David (Mary-Ann), Sister Darlene (Dale) and nephews, Life partner Kory, step-daughters Chelsey and Kassie, the love of his life... granddaughter Shaye, and his always faithful companion “Bud”.

“I’m not crying cause I feel so sorry for you...

I’m crying for me” Al will be laid to rest in the Crowsnest Pass, with a memorial to be held in Merritt Saturday January 19, 2013, 2PM at the Merritt Golf Course

One Final Gift Scatter me not to restless winds, Nor toss my ashes to the sea.

Remember now those years gone by When loving gifts I gave to thee.

Remember now the happy times The family ties we shared.

Don’t leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared.

Deny me not one final gift For all who come to see A single lasting proof that says I loved... and you loved me.

When not to call 911 No, police officers, firefighters and paramedics will not rush to your house to find fleas, bring beer or remove an annoying husband.

Most people know this, but some do not â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is why 911 emergency medical dispatchers continue to receive the oddest of calls unrelated to actual emergencies.

Last year, 911 dispatchers with the BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) answered more than 394,000 calls.

While many of those calls involved life-threatening situations, including cardiac arrests, childbirth and motor-vehicle accidents, some were of a decidedly lessurgent nature.

New Ajax team will be at open houses The new operating team behind the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine will host two days of meet-and-greets in Kamloops next week.

Ajax community-relations manager Norman Thompson said the open houses, which run Jan. 15 and Jan. 16 at the Kamloops Convention Centre, will give residents a chance to meet the new management team put in place in the fall of 2012, after KGHM International took over as mine operator.

Vancouver-based Abacus

Mining and Exploration initially acted as the operator of the project.

After KGHM paid Abacus $30 million to increase its stake in the mine to 80 per cent, it gained operational control.

Thompson said the open houses will “introduce new members of KGHM International and our team that are behind us on that, and show the community that KGHM is a responsible operator with a sold track record and mining operations in Canada, the U.S. and South America.”

Thank You!

Staff working on other KGHM International projects — which include the Morrison, McCreedy West and Podolsky mines in Sudbury, Ont. — will also be on hand.

Unlike previous community meetings held by the mine proponents, Thompson said registration will not be required for the sessions, which do not feature a formal presentation.

Both sessions run from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the ballroom at the convention centre, 1250 Rogers Way.

Thank You!

FRONT PAGE STORY

McLeod: Conversation continues

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Cathy McLeod sees the upcoming meeting between First Nations chiefs and Prime Minister Stephen Harper as little more than a continuing conversation.

The KamloopsThompson-Cariboo Conservative MP said agreeing to the meeting is not so much acquiescing to the ongoing protest by

one First Nations chief as it is continuing the process that began last year.

“A number of issues were identified last year,” McLeod said. “And, we need to keep the talks going.”

McLeod has been trying to counter public views that Bill C-45 — which sparked the ongoing hunger strike

by Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence — damages the environment or

removes rights from First Nations in leasing land.

McLeod said the bill addressed an issue many bands had brought to the attention of the federal government — that the bureaucracy imposed on them was “an onerous process that was leading to missed opportunities” to sign deals with companies.

“We have simply, in response, taken out a small part of the red

tape,” she said.

The aspect of the bill that affects navigable waters is another small decision “that reduces unnecessary red tape that was not achieving anything,” McLeod said, “and is not eroding environmental protection of our waters.”

On the weekend, McLeod had her Kamloops staff provide Tk’emlups hunger striker Evelyn Camille with a

copy of the act, upon a request by Camille.

www.edwardjones.com Member – Canadian Investor Protection Fund

Camille’s actions CONGRATULATIONS focus on legislation TO OUR WINNERS! X From A1

Camille’s actions are focused on the legislation because it implements changes to how land is managed on reserves and to the Navigable Waters Act, removing federal protection for thousands of small lakes and streams in the country.

Camille said she’s making her way through the several-hundred-page document, but her priority remains to work toward encouraging First Nations chiefs “to listen to their elders. We have a voice.”

She said she was joined by several chiefs of the 17 bands that make up the Secwepmc Nation and told them that fact as she explained why she took on the fast.

As for her own chief, Shane Gottfriedson, Camille said he listens to his elders “most of the time, but he speaks more with his mouth than with his heart.

“But, he is trying to learn.”

There are two people in particular Camille mentioned, calling them friends and wondering why they had not contacted her during her protest.

“I haven’t heard from [Kevin] Krueger and [Terry] Lake,” she said of the two Kamloops Liberal MLAs. “I though we were friends. Where are you, my buddies? Not even a phone call?

“I know this seems like a federal issue, but it’s still going to affect the province, so I’d like to really hear from Lake about how he fells about protecting the environment.”

As for news reports focusing on audit issues at the Attawapiskat First Nation, including lack of documentation on how the millions of dollars the band has received from the federal government were spent, Camille was suspicious about the timing of the leak of the unreleased federal audit.

She said it takes away from the greater issue First Nations face.

Alzheimer walk will honour caregivers

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

B

ERNIE AND TIM MARSH went shopping recently.

Every store they visited, Tim insisted they buy Christmas lights.

Bernie argued with him the first few times but, after a while, it became obvious to her the best course of action was to simply buy the lights and keep the receipts to return them all later.

Tim has vascular dementia, the secondmost common form of dementia.

It is caused by a problem in the supply of blood to the brain and can lead to many other realities, including difficulty with thinking and communicating, memory loss, confusion and depression.

On the shopping day, it showed as an obsession with being ready for Christmas, compounded by forgetting at each store they had bought lights they really didn’t need.

“We had a good laugh that day about it,” Bernie said of a moment later when Tim’s mind was clearer and they could talk about it.

“But, some days, there are no laughs.”

Bernie is what people would call a caregiver, perhaps not realizing what that new role in her life entails.

“It seems like every day, there’s something different,” Bernie said of the reality she and Tim face as they adapt to a life dominated by dementia.

Bernie’s days now mean “going slow because Tim can’t go fast or he loses everything,” she said.

“And, watching all the time to see what is happening. We’ve learned the fastest way of getting things done is by taking your time.”

Tara Hildebrand and Marg Rodgers know the story of Bernie and Tim — through their work with the Kamloops chapter of the Alzheimer Society of B.C., they see it every day.

It’s why they are delighted the focus of the Walk for Memories fundraiser in January will honour caregivers.

When someone is diagnosed with a form of dementia — and Bernie is sure Tim’s illness began years before doctors confirmed it — it’s not just the spouse whose reality changes, Hildebrand said.

The role of everyone in the family

is transformed.

“You’re not supposed to take care of your parents,” Bernie’s daughter, Nicole Palamar, said.

Palamar takes her caregiving to another level, taking part in the annual walk with others as a team.

She’s usually the first to register, Rodgers said.

Nicole’s 13-year-old daughter, Kallie, spends a lot of time with her grandfather, but it’s not the kind of interaction most would expect between the generations. Kallie’s more likely to be there to help her grandpa off the HandyDart that takes him to and from programming through the society during the week.

“Every single day, the caregiver is going

to feel guilty, usually because they might take some time for themselves,” Hildebrand said.

“A big part [of being a caregiver] is selfcare, taking some time for yourself so they can be there to give the care.”

There’s also a sense of isolation and overwhelming challenges.

Friends leave and others stay, but the relationships by necessity change.

The society offers workshops and a support group Bernie calls “simply amazing.”

The groups deal with the support needed in the early stages of the disease and for those who live with it around the clock.

The grief is more than for the loss of the person the caregiver knew, Hildebrand said, but also for the loss of the family structure,

of the traditional roles each has had to give up as they adapt to a new way of living.

There’s a family-caregiver series of five sessions to provide strategies and coping skills.

But, the reality, Rodgers said, is that the best teacher of living with Alzheimer and other dementia is the caregivers doing it.

The Walk for Memories fundraiser will take place on Sunday, Jan. 27, on the Tournament Capital Centre’s indoor track, 910 McGill Rd. Teams and individuals can register and others can sponsor by going online to walkformemories.com or by calling 250377-8200.

Registration that day is at 9 a.m., with the walk starting at 10:30 a.m.

One day it seems harmless.

Next day you’re stuck in it.

Keep winter under surveillance.

Suspect every snowflake.

ATS a serious contender JIM ROBINSON First DRIVE

T

HE 2013 CADILLAC ATS represents a wonderful insight into how GM corporate thinking and reaction to consumer interests have changed.

Prior to the meltdown of 2009, GM pretty well pumped out what it thought the people wanted, the Cadillac Cimarron of the 1980s being a prime example.

Based on the lowly J-car chassis shared with econocars like the Chevrolet Cavalier, it was just that — a front-drive Cavalier with a leather trim package and better suspension bushings.

It put consumers off the idea of a baby Cadillac for years after.

Cadillac tried again in 2002 with the CTS, a much moreserious effort with rear- or all-wheel drive and a nicely weighted chassis, topped off by signature, razor-edge styling.

While it was hoped the CTS would attract BMW 3 Series and Audi A4 buyers, the CTS was bigger and heavier — really more mid-size like the 5 Series and A6.

And, while the CTS did, in fact, attract considerable 5 Series and A6 intenders, it did not wash as a 3 Series/A4 competitor for a lesser price.

Buyers bought those other cars because they didn’t want anything big; that was proven by the rising interest in the 1 Series then coming on stream.

In a bold move, a completely new chassis — the Alpha — was created for a new genera-

tion of small, nimble cars, of which the ATS would be first.

We will be hearing a lot more about the Alpha in coming years and, I suspect, the new-generation Camaro among them.

The Alpha was designed for rear- or all-wheel-drive and 50:50 weight distribution — key elements if the ATS was going to match the Eurosedans.

Like the Europeans, the ATS offers a choice of gasoline engines but, unlike the others, no diesel (yet).

The first is a 20-horsepopwer, 190 pound-feet, 2.5-litre inline four-cylinder.

Available on the bottom two of the four trim levels, it also is only offered in rearwheel-drive (RWD).

The other two engines are a 2.0-litre, direct injection

turbo with 272 horsepower, 260 pound feet, and a 3.6-litre direct-injection V6 with 321 horsepower and 274 poundfeet, both available in RWD and AWD. All versions of the ATS use GM’s standard six-speed automatic except for a six-speed manual available on the turbo only.

Chrysler launches special-edition 300 for Motown If cars are the heart of the Motor City, music is its soul.

The new 2013 Chrysler 300 Motown edition pays tribute to the Motor City’s resurgence and determination through Detroitborn style and worldclass ingenuity.

Harking back to the days when bright work ruled Woodward and Jefferson avenues, this limited-edition Chrysler flagship sedan includes bright chrome front- and rear-fascia

accents, mirror caps, door handles and daylight-opening surround — and a unique, Mopar bright-chrome grille with seven sculpted horizontal blades.

Large 20-inch polished “heritage” design aluminum wheels provide an elegant look, while its touring-tuned suspension delivers world-class levels of ride, handling and comfort.

Completing this Chrysler flagship sedan’s curb appeal are

black-accented Chrysler wing badges and Motown fender badges that transcend the city’s rhythm and spirit.

Available exterior colors include bright white, gloss black, deep cherry red and new jazz blue.

To be sure the soul of Motown can be heard and felt, this limitededition Chrysler sedan includes 100 tracks from original Motown recording artists loaded on the Uconnect 8.4’s SD card reader.

The reader provides passengers with the segment’s largest touchscreen display (8.4-inch) and mobile infotainment, connectivity and multimedia features.

Delivering a sound

experience as the artist intended, the segmentexclusive 10-speaker Beats Audio system with 12-channel amplifier and proprietary Beats Audio algorithm is also available in the special-edition model.

New meaning to driving by seat of your pants X From A18

While the 2.5-litre gets four-wheel disc brakes, the 2.0-litre and 3.6-litre enhance stopping power with upgraded four-piston Brembo calipers.

All versions have what Cadillac calls its autodry brakes system, which applies the brakes very lightly in wet conditions to take excess water off the discs.

Lastly, the ATS features the third-generation GM magnetic ride-control suspension that uses sensors to “read” the road up to 1,000 times per second and change the damping settings to match, thus improving control.

The styling leaves no one in doubt this is a Cadillac, but it is also aerodynamic with an integrated rear spoiler, outside mirrors optimized for wind flow and active shutters behind the grille that close at speed to cut drag.

One sunny day, just as winter started to make itself felt, I took off to sample the ATS and had such a good time, I covered more than 600 kilometres because I was simply enjoying myself.

Equipped with the 3.6-litre and AWD, my tester was fitted out in ruby-red metallic paint, machined 18-inch alloy wheels and wonderful biscuitcoloured leather.

There are several interior-trim materials like carbon fibre, aluminum and “sustainably sourced exotic woods”.

The leathers are offered in a variety of tones and all, like the panels, are sewn with French stitching.

The first impression was an odd one.

Driving along the freeway, I started to feel a vibration, first on one seat-side bolster and then the other, coupled with a little green icon at the bottom looking like a ideogram of the cellphone.

I thought someone must have left a Bluetoothconnected cellphone in the car so I started fishing around beside and under the seat.

Turns out it was actually the lane-departure system (optional), letting me know when I was changing lanes right or left.

It can be switched off by a button and I did so.

I’m used to these systems by now but normally there is a vibration sent to the steering wheel, not the seat.

When traffic suddenly slowed ahead, I got a very strong vibration directly on the seat of my pants.

This was the optional rear/front collision warning and the vibrating safety-alert seat system doing its job — and very effectively, I might add.

I left this one on.

Front suspension is MacPherson struts but, on the ATS, it is a double-pivot setup with the rear suspension being a five-link system which works well with AWD and RWD because of the compliance built into the geometry to take advantage of the magnetic ride control.

Couple this with a variable-assist steering system and you have a car that rivals the blue-white roundel and four linked-ring guys.

With the 3.6-litre, the ATS is deceptively fast.

Here, the optional heads-up display was a plus, not a hindrance, as a majority of twisty roads I used

current road conditions

d r i ve b c. ca

snake through cottage country where the locals are not that vigilant — but the police are.

Sight lines ahead and to the side were fine but the high trunk lid made setting the outside mirrors correctly a must and the use of a backup camera a necessity.

As noted above, the 2013 Cadillac ATS starts at $35,195, but not this one.

As tested, my fully optioned 3.6-litre AWD was priced at $56,870, not including the $1,595 shipping fee.

I will let you compare that to a BMW 335xi or Audi S4.

This is a remarkably different kind of Cadillac and one that should help return the brand to the time when it billed itself as “the Standard of the World”.

Hyundai previews smartphone-like concept Hyundai is harnessing the versatility of today’s smartphones to create the first prototype of its own connectivity concept.

The technology, previewed near the manufacturer’s

Mazda’s i-ELOOP technology is the first time any automaker has used a capacitor to store electrical energy.

European headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany, showcases Hyundai’s expertise in creating clever new technology for its range of cars — and is expected as soon as 2015.

The device will allow drivers to take their music, contacts and other settings with them on the road and off. In addition, the device’s battery is recharged wirelessly while in use.

LEASE OR FINANCE

How i-ELOOP defies convention WHY FINANCE 0 DOWN tional lead-acid starter batteries, Mazda engineers adopted an electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC), which recharges fully in only a few seconds.

An efficient 12V25V variable-voltage alternator generates the electricity and charges the EDLC; a DC/DC converter then steps down the voltage to power electrical components such as the climate-control airconditioning and audio systems, with any surplus going to the starter battery.

A full capacitor

charge is enough to run the vehicle’s electrical systems for a minute or so.

During stop-and-go city driving, charging often resumes before the capacitor is fully discharged.

The i-ELOOP can produce most, if not all, of a vehicle’s electricity needs, whereas normally some of the engine’s output is required just to continue to drive the alternator.

By freeing up this engine capacity, i-ELOOP increases fuel economy under everyday driving conditions.

TOP ACHIEVER FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER

The best way to harvest what is essentially free engine power under braking or when running on a trailing throttle, for example, has challenged engineers for decades.

The most-common solution is brake-energy regeneration: Capturing kinetic energy (the energy generated by a vehicle when it moves) that would otherwise be lost when slowing down.

This energy is used to recharge batteries in electric and hybrid cars, for example, or to power the on-board electrical network and save engine power, saving fuel.

Such systems have been in use for some years — Formula One racing cars started to use them in 2009 — but Mazda’s system is unique.

Its i-ELOOP (short for “intelligent Energy Loop”) is the world’s first passenger-car system to use a capacitor to store the electricity.

The -new Mazda6 is the first of Mazda’s SKYACTIV technology models to be available with i-ELOOP. A typical vehicledeceleration phase lasts only about 10 seconds.

Realizing the effectiveness of regenerativebraking systems to date has been limited by the charging and storage drawbacks of conven-

Where a balanced lifestyle comes naturally.

Editor The Merritt Herald, an award-winning twice-weekly newspaper published in the Nicola Valley, is seeking an editor.

The editor will manage a newsroom of one reporter and both will be responsible for all aspects of getting the newspaper to press — writing, editing, taking photographs and laying out using InDesign.

The successful candidate will be community-oriented and have a serious interest in current events — locally, provincially, nationally and globally.

The ideal candidate will be a self-starter with some experience in journalism, one who works well with others in an office setting, one who thirsts for an opportunity to improve their skills while helping to mentor those around them, one whose copy of CP Style is dog-eared and one who has a passion for new ideas.

Qualifications • Proficiency with InDesign and Photoshop are required, as is a background in the community newspaper industry.

• Previous experience in the community newspaper industry • Own transportation required.

Please apply to: Theresa Arnold Merritt Herald 2090 Granite Ave. Merritt , BC V1K 1B8 Phone: (250) 378-4241 Fax: (250) 378-6818 Email: publisher@merrittherald.com

From Denmark, with love

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Philip Özari (right) is one of five Danes to have played TRU WolfPack volleyball. He is looking forward to the second half of the Canada West campaign. George Wycherley/KTW

HE THOMPSON RIVERS UNIVERSITY WolfPack volleyball program continues to benefit from a Danish pipeline to Kamloops.

Philip Özari, a 6-foot-4 outside hitter from Birkerød, Denmark, is the most recent player to hop the pond and settle in the River City.

“Eventually, I just decided to go and see where this would carry me. It’s my first time away from family,” said Özari, who is studying sciences at TRU. “It was a very tough decision.” Özari, 19, is the fifth Danish recruit to join the WolfPack volleyball program, joining Martin Korsbak Madsen, Martin Ølgaard Stenderup, Stine Bleeg Christiansen and Lykke Degne.

Much of the credit for drawing the Danes to Kamloops belongs to Chad Grimm, the WolfPack assistant coach who spent four seasons playing and coaching in the Scandanavian country.

Grimm played under current WolfPack head coach Pat Hennelly for Team B.C. and the UBC Thunderbirds before making the move to Europe to play professionally.

Since returning to the Tournament Capital five years ago, the contacts Grimm made overseas have helped TRU land highly touted players such as Özari.

“When you see a video, it’s hard to truly tell what type of player you’re getting,” Hennelly said.

“You can’t talk about character and those types of things.

“Chad has connections throughout

Europe, so talking to the junior national head coach and the head of Danish volleyball, you can get a sense of what type of person they are.”

In Denmark and across Europe, there is no competitive university volleyball — it’s either go pro or pursue a degree.

“If you’re on their senior national team, then you can make good money playing professional volleyball in Europe. If you’re not, then you’re not going to make great money,” Hennelly said.

“They look at university and say they want a career.”

Hennelly is able to point to WolfPack assistant coaches Behlül Yavasgel and Robin Schoebel when trying to recruit European players.

Yavasgel, from Turkey, and Schoebel, from France, graduated from TRU and decided to stay in Kamloops and pursue Canadian citizenship.

“Schoebel bought a house here and Behlül is engaged to be married in the summer.

They came here to change their lives.”

The European recruits who return home after graduating have also proved to be great recruiting tools for Hennelly and the WolfPack.

Madsen was influential in Özari’s decision to make the move.

“He just told me it was a good school and a dedicated team,” Özari said. “He told me some general stuff about the players and the coach.

The scholarship money was important, too.” Özari likely hoped for a smoother transition to Kamloops, with injuries stifling his progress on the court.

Lead Sydney Fraser (left), third Erin Pincott, skip Corryn Brown and second Samantha Fisher won the Tim Hortons B.C. junior girls title in Coquitlam on Sunday, Jan. 6.

Brown golden again

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Corryn Brown’s Kamloops rink had plenty of time to think about winning the Tim Hortons B.C. junior girls title in Coquitlam on the trip back over the snowy Coquihalla.

“We’re going to take it real easy,” said Brown, who claimed gold with a 7-4 win over Kalia Van Osch’s Nanaimo rink on Sunday, Jan. 6.

“This is high above all our juvenile wins, for sure. It’s a totally different feeling because we’re so much younger than these girls.”

Brown, third Erin Pincott, second Samantha Fisher and lead Sydney Fraser are all 17. The girls are eligible to play in the junior division until they are 20.

The Kamloops Curling Club quartet’s ever-growing resumé is impressive, to say the least.

Included on the list of accomplishments, along with the junior title, are gold at the Canada Winter Games in 2011, gold at the Optimist International under-18 bonspiel in Toronto in April and three provincial juvenile titles, from 2010

to 2012.

Brown also won bronze for Canada at the Youth Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria, in February.

On Sunday, there were two key moments in the win over the Van Osch rink, the first coming in the sixth end — “She was hitting for two and she ended up taking the guard into the house and that gave us a steal of two,” Brown said.

The South Kamloops secondary student came through with a tap for two in the ninth end, giving her rink a oneshot cushion coming home in the 10th, where she stole two to seal the victory.

Brown finished the tournament with a 7-2 record.

Next up for the Brown rink — coached by the skip’s father, Ken, and Fisher’s dad, Brian — is the M&M Meats Canadian junior championship, which runs from Feb. 2 to Feb. 10 in Fort McMurray.

“I’m so excited,” said Brown, whose rink took Monday off school to recuperate from nine draws in five days.

“I’ve heard so many good things about the national events. I just want to get out there and wear the B.C jacket again.”

Pack brave UBCO Heat

The men’s and women’s TRU WolfPack basketball teams suffered different fates against the UBC Okanagan Heat of Kelowna on Saturday, Jan. 5, at the Tournament Capital Centre.

On the women’s side, WolfPack head coach Scott Reeves’

charges pushed their record to 8-3 with a 91-54 drubbing of the Heat.

UBC Okanagan’s men downed TRU 76-59, dropping the WolfPack men to 4-7 on the campaign.

Next up for the Pack are home clashes against the Lethbridge Pronghorns on Friday,

Jan. 11, at the TRU Gym. The women tip off at 6 p.m., with the men to follow at 8 p.m.

On Saturday, Jan. 12, the Calgary Dinos are in town.

The women’s tilt gets underway at 5 p.m. and the men tip off at 7 p.m.

Özari adapting, still a work in progress X From A28

He sprained his ankle early in the season and severely dislocated his finger upon his return.

“It’s my worst year so far with injuries, so it’s been tough for me to find rhythm,” Özari said.

“I’m still working on it and, hopefully, my game will get better as the season progresses.”

Canadian culture has taken some getting used to for the towering outside hitter, who misses Danish cuisine, in particular.

In fact, he had some food confiscated at the airport upon entering Canada last year.

On the court, Özari is his own biggest critic.

“He puts a lot of pressure on himself to be the guy. In Europe, if there’s a Canadian guy, he’s expected to be the best player,” Hennelly said.

“I don’t exactly expect him to be our best player, but we’re recruiting them to be on the court. I’m happy with him and I project him to be a starter in the second half and a real important part of our team for the next five years.”

Madsen was a key piece of the puzzle when the Pack had its most successful season in program history, winning bronze at Canadian Interuniversity Sport nationals in 2008. Özari has the potential to play a similar role in the coming years for Hennelly’s charges.

TRU (5-7) will play the Huskies (7-5)

in Saskatchewan this weekend before returning home to play UBC (8-4) on Jan. 18

and Jan. 19.

The Danish transplant will use those games to get his uni-

versity career back on track.

“I’m still comfortable being here,” Özari

said. “I’m trying to fit in. Right now, I just need to get my game going.”

“LeafSource Stopped Pain Within Days!”

“It works! I’ll take another two bottles please!”

This coming from a customer who had tried every other natural remedy under the sun in the past few years to take away her pain. Ian, the owner of the health food store couldn’t believe his ears. He had finally found the perfect product to stop his customer’s miseries. This is what every owner of a health food store dreams about, a natural product that receives so many outstanding testimonials on such a wide variety of health issues.

“I had recommended a new product called LeafSource, which we recently started carrying. We have had tremendous success with this product, and almost everyone we have recommended it to over the last few months has come back and thanked us over and over again” said Ian. Before trying LeafSource, the woman had complained about her ongoing joint pain and was at her wit’s end.

Although she had experienced some relief through the numerous natural remedies she had tried over the years, the pain would never fully go away.

“She returned to my store, in tears, less than one week after buying LeafSource. I didn’t know what to make of this woman standing in front of me crying, until she told me that within a few days of taking LeafSource her pain started to disappear and within a week it was completely gone - as if it was never there.” Ian goes on, “This coming from a woman whose painful joints and ongoing sciatica were so bad just one week earlier, that the pain was unbearable but now has completely subsided.”

Why is it so effective?

LeafSource is a 100% natural product derived from a proprietary organic mineral composite with over ten years of university research. LeafSource helps regulate the inflammatory process and the body’s ability to repair itself.

The vast majority (70-80%) of the population over the age of 50 have joint problems—often called osteoarthritis.

This is due to the natural (or unnatural) wear and tear on joint tissue that develops through the aging process. With joint inflammation, movement is limited and pain can be constant. LeafSource seems to have the ability to help people get their mobility and zest for life back.

Millions of people seek treatment for their joint and inflammation problems by resorting to expensive, toxic prescription drugs (i.e. NSAIDs) with multiple side effects. These range from nausea and vomiting to serious intestinal disorders (bleeding, gas, pain) and even kidney and liver failure. Isn’t that too large a price to pay for a little pain relief!?

LeafSource is a safe alternative to these destructive antiinflammatory drugs that cause many more problems than they solve. It is safe to take up to six per day with absolutely no side-effects and it doesn’t interfere with any other medications. Controlled experiments and observations have revealed that LeafSource is a potent anti-inflammatory that has been shown to bring a reduction of inflammation and pain within a few days.

People notice great results in terms of more energy and less pain by taking anywhere from 2 to 6 capsules/day.

Typical maintenance is usually 1 capsule twice daily.

This product get results!

LeafSource is scientifically validated through more than 10 years of research at 4 universities, including the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mercer University. But it’s what LeafSource users are saying that truly demonstrates the products effectiveness: I have had cronic pain for over 15 years and have been going to a chiropractor monthly for pain therapy.

I started using LeafSource two months ago and I am amazed at the results. I no longer have tendinitis, carple tunnel or irritable bowel. My arthritis is manageable, all my joints are limber and I’m able to exercise again. My energy levels are up, my nails and hair are stronger and my skin is softer. ~ Debbie

I am pretty stunned what this has done for me in 8 days of taking LeafSource. For 18 years I have tried many many products ...most of them expensive. And most did not work at all. I had been on a mission to find a product that is doing exactly what LeafSource is doing.So here I am on day 9 with 90% of my pain gone. ~ N. W. - Toronto

Sun Peaks recognized Canadian Living Magazine named Sun Peaks Resort the second-best ski destination in Canada.

“Massive ski terrain and plentiful dry snow are two critical assets to Sun Peaks’ reputation,” said Christopher Nicolson, president of Tourism Sun Peaks.

“But, the quality and convenience of the ski-in, ski-out village, diversity of shops and restaurants and genuine friendliness of the locals are often unexpected by our guests.”

Whistler Blackcomb earned top peg on the list, com-

piled based on reader and guest impressions, ski enthusiasts’ advice and the publication’s own favourite destinations.

Sun Peaks’ non-ski and family-friendly activities helped it earn second place.

“We are seeing more guests visit solely for winter activities such as cross country skiing, dogsledding, snowmobiling or snowshoeing,” Nicolson said.

“It makes for a great winter holiday or a family gathering for those that do not ski or snowboard.”

Sun Peaks Resort was named the second-best ski destination in the country by Canadian Living Magazine. Whistler Blackcomb earned the No. 1 spot. KTW file photo
