GRIT LEADERSHIP CANDIDATES ON WAY TO CITY

THURSDAY

Three contenders for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada will be visiting Kamloops this month, including putative favourite Justin Trudeau. All seven leadership candidates — Trudeau, Deborah Coyne, Marc Garneau, Martha Hall Findlay, Karen McCrimmon, Joyce Murray and George Takach — will meet for a debate at Vancouver’s Westin Bayshore Hotel on Sunday, Jan. 20. The next day, Monday, Jan. 21, Trudeau will drive to Merritt and Kamloops, arriving in the Tournament Capital at about 3 p.m. Murray Todd, president of the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo riding association, said a public event is planned for that day, possibly at the Kamloops Convention Centre or Thompson Rivers University, though details are still

being worked out. “He’s on a very tight timeline, but there will be a public event,” Todd said. “We’re hoping to have a speech and some questions and answers.” Trudeau will then drive on to Vernon that night. Two days later, on Wednesday, Jan. 23, Hall Findlay and McCrimmon will arrive in Kamloops, with both expected to appear at a public event. The seven candidates are seeking to succeed Michael Ignatieff, who stepped down as leader after losing his seat in the May 2011 federal election. The party will elect its leader at an April 14 convention in Ottawa, with even non-members able to cast a vote. Supporters of the Liberal Party of Canada can register to vote online, at no cost, at liberal.ca.

Sitting on the table of snacks meant to keep blood donors from fainting — cookies, crackers and the like — is a homemade birthday cake with a single candle rising from its top. It would be a coincidence if one of the dozens of blood donors gathered yesterday inside the gymnasium at Calvary Community Church happened to be celebrating a Jan. 9 birthday. Odder still would be if that birthday boy or girl brought with them a cake. So, how strange would it be if two men were celebrating their birthdays by donating blood? What if they were father and son? What if their donations yesterday brought the cumulative tally of times they’ve given blood to a staggering 99? That is what happened when Harvey Fehr and his son, Jason, walked in from the snowy Calvary parking lot and placed that birthday cake on the table of goodies. “It was a random thing,” Harvey, celebrating his 52nd birthday, told KTW. “We discovered it when we booked our appointments.” Harvey’s wife made the cake. “It’s red velvet,” he said. “She thought it had to be red something because we’re donating blood.” Harvey has been giving blood since he was 17. His mother used to be a regular blood donor as well, and she got him into it. Yesterday marked Harvey’s 89th donation. Jason, who turned 25, was on his 10th. He started five years ago, when a close family friend became ill and required 40 units of blood. The feeling of helping others has kept him coming back. “It’s just the fact that I’m able to help,” he said. “Everybody needs blood in the hospital and mine is a fairly common type, so I just help out any way I can.”

Don’t gamble away your common sense STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The game is simple, Alex Andreucci explains, holding out the cloth bag. Inside are 20 marbles. While most are brown, a single white orb lurks somewhere in the bag. Pull it out and you win. “Go ahead,” she says. KTW pulls a brown one. A loss. While the game can be played multiple times, there is one more rule — the marble you’ve already pulled has to go back in the bag before you can pick another. The odds of pulling the white marble never get better. While the odds are lower and there aren’t any flashing lights, the game works on the same principal as a slot machine. It’s one of the tools Andreucci — who oversees the B.C. Lottery Corporation’s (BCLC) GameSense program in the region — and others will use to dispel a number of gambling myths during Kamloops’ first Responsible Gambling Week, which runs through Saturday, Jan. 12. “It’s a reload feature,” she explains once the marble is dropped back in the bag. “One of the myths we know exists on the gaming floor is people think if they play a slot machine for an extended period of time, it’s due for a win or it might be ready to pay or that the odds get better.” That’s not the case, Andreucci says. At tables, the cards are constantly shuffled, while slot machines and roulette wheels don’t have memory of previous spins and results. “It’s always random,” she says. While the GameSense program runs in casinos and gambling centres across the province, Responsible Gambling Week takes the conversation and mythbusting to a wider audience. The week first launched in Vernon in 2012 and expanded to include

Kamloops, Langley, Prince George and Greater Victoria this year. “I think what happened in Vernon is people are more aware of the situation and more aware of the resources that are available if they or a family member have a challenge,” says Michael Graydon, BCLC’s CEO. Graydon says research conducted for BCLC shows about five per cent of B.C. gamblers will struggle with gambling addiction, a number in line with most other jurisdictions in Canada. However, he says, Responsible Gambling Week can also remind the other 95 per cent of casino patrons to “keep it in It’s always perspective” random. and let them — Alex Andreucci conﬁrming know there slot machines are not are resources programmed to win at available if certain intervals issues arise. “It’s about getting that information out,” he says. “You can advertise and you can tell people, but there’s so much going on in our communities. “When you take a week like this and you engage the community, the awareness levels grow quite significantly.” An interactive myth-busting kiosk is at Aberdeen Mall today (Jan. 10) from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. On Friday, Jan. 11, BCLC, the City of Kamloops and the British Columbia Responsible and Problem Gambling Program will host an open house at Desert Gardens, 540 Seymour St., from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., featuring community supports for problem gamblers.

Kamloops the star of new sports video

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

B.C. Lions fans will be seeing a lot more of Kamloops when the 2013 CFL season begins. Every home game next year will feature a twoand-a-half minute commercial promoting the city’s sporting facilities and its Tournament Capital image. It’s a commercial with which Kamloops Blazer fans are likely already familiar. The Western Hockey League team has featured the video — in which local athletes compete at everything from roller derby and martial arts to hockey and badminton — at home games since Nov. 16. Jeff Putnam, the city’s parks, recreation facilities and business operations manager, said that, until now, Kamloops hasn’t had a video to promote itself and show off its sportier side. “We always had a video, but it was always the corporate, city of Kamloops-type of video. It didn’t explain why we were such a great sport-hosting community,” he said. The commercial was shot by Joy Factory Films, a local company that also shot video for the city early in 2012, showcasing its new corporate motto. Putnam estimates the cost of the commercial at $7,500. Putnam has received positive reviews of the spot so far — many coming via Twitter after Blazer games. “On Aug. 19, we showed it at a B.C. Lions home game just as a trial pilot project and the city received emails and phone calls from people that used to live in Kamloops that now live in the Lower Mainland, saying how much they wished they still lived here,” Putnam said. “So, I thought that was pretty cool.” The new commercial will also be used in the city’s bids for major sporting events. To view the video, go online to youtube.com/user/ CityofKamloops/.

Murder trial date to be set on Jan. 14 Lawyers will return to court on Monday, Jan. 14, to set trial date for Jaipreet Singh Toor, charged with second-degree murder in the death of his father. An attempt to set a trial date on Monday, Jan. 7, was unsuccessful. Toor, 44, was arrested on March 20, 2012, after police responded to a call from someone in a house at 1189 13th St., where the body of 79-year-old Harsewak Singh Toor was found outside.

Neighbours told KTW at the time the son had mental-health issues and had often been seen in the neighbourhood exhibiting strange behaviour.

Attack on friend goes to trial in July A Thompson Rivers University student charged with plunging a pool cue into his friend’s brain during a fight last year is scheduled to go to trial on July 22.

THE COURTS Yousef Mohammed Almotairi was charged with assault with a weapon and aggravated assault after an incident at Cactus Jack’s Night Club on Nov. 3, 2012. Court documents allege the 26-year-old assaulted his friend and fellow TRU interna-

tional student Abdulaziz Alhedaib during a fight just after 1 a.m. Alhedaib suffered severe brain trauma. Both men are international students from Saudi Arabia. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said the family, which has returned to Saudi Arabia, is contacted regularly for updates on Alhedaib’s health, but does not wish to not disclose that information to any third parties.

Shuttering, not shuddering, in face of vandalism By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTING

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kay Bingham elementary is the latest school in the district to have electronic exterior shutters installed — and it’s another cost that doesn’t need to happen, according to Art McDonald. The director of facilities and transportation said School District 73 spends, on average, about $100,000 a year dealing with vandalism, including broken windows. “And, that’s $100,000 that could be put elsewhere in the system,” he said. Similar window systems are also in place at Dufferin, Summit and McGowan Park elementary schools and, at some point, may be a feature at all schools in the district. “That’s the dream,” McDonald said. While vandalism at schools tends to remain

at a low, consistent level, there have been instances when it’s been “not normal,” McDonald said, including Bingham, Brock middle school and Barriere elementary, where one stu-

dent was responsible for breaking almost every window in the facility. A hot spot, for some reason, remains Summit elementary, McDonald said. “It could be a lot

worse,” he said of the damage. “It’s money we’re spending that we actually don’t need to spend.” Different systems have been tried, from a diamond-mesh type of window that resists breakage, but still cracks — “and looks ugly.” McDonald said — to special films that are also break-resistant, but can crack and still leave a pane that has to be replaced. The shutters are resistant to grafGJti, but the reality, McDonald said, is there are no products that will stop taggers from succeeding. The shutters, which were installed during the Christmas school break, have a coating that is resistant to graffiti. They can be controlled by teachers

so that, if one needs to darken the room to show a film, the

teacher can do that. The shutters can also be open and shut by

It’s the best thing I did for myself.

She grew up in an era where she felt guilty taking time or spending money on herself. Everything was for the family, the husband, the children. She was raised to believe that. When she was young she had to work and study. There was never time for herself. When she got married, she had a good job, so did her husband. Money was not a problem. But there was never money for herself. And then the children came, a son and a daughter. She continued to work but now the money went to buy a skating outfit for her daughter, a bike for her son, but there was never money for herself. Her husband’s rationale was that spending $500 on groceries was okay, but it was certainly not normal to spend $80 on her hair. She accepted that because she thought that was the way it was supposed to be. Her body shape had changed following the birth of her children. And as the years passed, it became more noticeable. Her husband suggested that she stop eating and start walking, which she did. But at the age of 49 starving and walking is not the way to get back in shape. She had a woman friend in her office whose body shape was similar to hers but then it began to change. She was younger looking, more alive. She asked her what she was doing to look so good. She said she was going to Powertone Health Studio. “This woman got the courage to call me and start a program,” says Irene, owner of Powertone. “She didn’t tell anyone not her husband or her friends.” A few months later friends began noticing a difference. She was happier, trimmer, she was looking after herself. She told her husband and he agreed when he saw how different she was. “Life had become boring, a ritual of home and MINSI.O12NS .

No need to overreact and eliminate tests completely

HE B.C. NDP IS NOT government — although, it seems the body that represents teachers see this as little more than a foregone conclusion. Why else would Susan Lambert, president of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, declare the end is near for the ever-controversial foundationskills assessment tests? To be fair, Lambert didn’t come out and say she expects the tests to disappear but, rather, that she believes Education Minister Don McRae doesn’t see any value to them. And, anyone with any interest in politics knows NDP Leader Adrian Dix has said he will replace the tests if he and his party win the May 14 election. The problem with this scenario is that, once we establish the tests are controversial, the story always shifts to the way the Fraser Institute uses them to rank schools in the province. Notwithstanding the way the media, teachers and administrators twist it, the two are not intrinsically linked. One is a tool that, used properly, can help guide school districts and the education ministry in assessing what is working, what needs tweaking and what should be abandoned. The scores, used properly, can help teachers assess how their students are doing. There is nothing wrong with that. The other is a silly, useless, indulgent, publicity-seeking move to further the profile of the Fraser

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL Institute, while catering to those who look down on public education, preferring the private system in the belief — backed by the institute — it is better. It would be unfortunate to see some sort of basic assessment like the tests tossed out just because their results are misused and then misinterpreted by many people. Tests can be good if they are done properly. They help with evaluation and provide data that, put into the right hands for analysis, can lead to improvements. In a very simple way, they can provide a student with an idea of how they’re doing. If they’re struggling to complete the test, they know there is work to be done. If they breezed through it, they’re either in for a major surprise or, more likely, they are learning what is being taught and, more importantly, retaining it. Test results give parents feedback and, given the hissy many threw when teachers stopped doing reports last year during their job action —

how can we know how Johnny and Janey are doing without them? — they provide a bit of input to those parents who only cross the school’s threshold for the Christmas concert. As a kid, I hated tests. They started when I was in kindergarten. Back then, there was an overreliance on IQ tests in my hometown and, for reasons that became obvious later, I was flagged for every one they wanted to administer. But, every year, I knew there would be tests. There would be pop quizzes, term-enders, chapter reviews, exams and, yes, those silly IQ tests some of us had to do. It was part of going to school. I didn’t stress over them — much — and my parents didn’t make all their educational decisions based on their results. They were just another bit of information. So, when I hear the people who govern our teachers say it’s time to get rid of them, I cringe. I really worry when I hear a politician say he’ll bring in something else — but not tell me what it is. We know what the foundationskills assessment tests are. They’re a gauge. We know the Fraser Institute will hijack that gauge and recalibrate it. We can pay attention — or we can just ignore it. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com kamloopsstreetlevel.tumblr.com

The new year brought in one longoverdue change — the end of the Kyoto Protocol. Canada signed the climate-change initiative in 2002, when Jean Chretien was still prime minister. It called for a reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions — six per cent below 1990 levels by 2012. Not surprisingly, that didn’t happen. In fact, overall world carbon emissions are up by 58 per cent over those of 1990. Is there a need to keep the growth of carbon emissions to more reasonable levels? Of course. There is considerable proof of at least some global warming, although many skeptics say the science has been corrupted by political activism. No one can deny, though, that both the Arctic and Antarctic ice caps are shrinking and the waters close to the poles are open for far longer periods than ever recorded before. It’s simply good behaviour to cut back on carbon emissions as much as possible, if for no other reason than to conserve precious fossil-fuel resources and actively promote alternatives that do not emit nearly as much carbon. Nonetheless, Kyoto was never a viable option. The biggest polluters in the world refused to sign it or even abide by its most modest aims. Its call for reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions were unrealistic, unless the developed world was to go into a self-induced depression. As it is, most of the developed world has been in a serious recession for the past four years and emission levels are still rising. The B.C. government was late in jumping on the Kyoto bandwagon with a carbon tax, carbon-credit purchases by government bodies and promotion of alternative fuels. While the latter makes some sense, the first two do not. The carbon tax is simply a cash cow for the province that we will never get rid of. It has not changed behaviour but, like the property purchase tax, it handsomely lines government pockets. The carbon-credit program involves taxpayers subsidizing private companies for capital projects. It is ridiculous to demand schools and hospitals be carbon neutral when the tax dollars spent to do so go to the private sector. The federal and provincial governments need to have realistic programs to reduce emissions and not buy into climate propaganda. — Langley Times

Harper changing Canada — for the worse

Speak up You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com

Editor: A few years ago, national newspapers reported that Prime Minister Stephen Harper, in an address to an ultraconservative group in the U.S., ended with the now-famous line, “You won’t recognize Canada when I get through with it.” Here are 10 of Harper’s best efforts in 2012 to change the face of this country. 1. Harper approved the sale of Nexen to CNOOC, a state-owned Chinese company, and to make matters worse, the Conservatives secretly negotiated the CanadaChina FIPA treaty, giving China increased access to our strategic natural resources. 2. During the last election campaign, Harper said the F-35s would only set Canadians back $9 billion. The parliamentary budget officer, the auditor general and accounting firm KPMG are now saying the bill is more like $44 billion. 3. Recent court documents reveal Elections

According to former federal NDP candidate Michael Crawford, Prime Minister Stephen Harper is pulling Canada in a direction that is weakening the country.

Canada pointed the finger directly at the Conservative party during the ongoing investigation into voter suppression in the 2011 federal election. 4. Harper’s second monster budget bill dismantled environmental reviews, gutted the Fisheries Act, eliminated wildlife-habitat protection, repealed the Kyoto Protocol Implementation Act, reduced the powers of the auditor general, dissolved the Public Appointments Commission meant to fight patronage and restricted food-safety inspections. 5. To an audience of billionaires in Davos,

Switzerland, Harper announced his plan to raise the age of eligibility for Old Age Security to 67 from 65, which, according to the auditor general, will take $10 billion a year from the pockets of Canada’s poorest seniors when implemented. 6. Harper’s cuts to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency were followed by the largest meat recall in Canadian history. Canadians continued to buy tainted meat two weeks after the U.S. pulled it from American store shelves. 7. Harper’s cabinet ministers ran amock in 2012.

Bev Oda ($1,000 limo rides and $16 orange juice), Peter MacKay (Ministry of Defence helicopter ride from a friend’s exclusive fishing lodge to a Conservative fundraiser) and Vic Toews (responded to criticism of his bill on Internet security with “You either stand with, us or with the child pornographers.”) led the parade with their scandals, ethical lapses and poor judgement. 8. Harper’s cuts to Employment Insurance benefits and rule changes mean fewer Canadians qualify for fewer benefits. He decimated the appeals tribunal, slowing

claims processing — a direct attack on seasonal industries and underemployed regions of our country. 9. Harper’s war on the environment continued unabated, rolling back the clock on decades of environmental-protection efforts. Thousands of lakes and rivers are no longer covered by the Navigable Waters Protection Act, the Environmental Assessment Act has been shredded and fish-habitat protection disappeared from the Fisheries Act. 10. Harper’s heartless refugee health-care cuts left some of neediest members of our communities behind and the provinces holding the bag. These and other regressive steps taken by Harper in 2012 resulted in less Canadian resource ownership and less control over our economy, less government transparency, accountability and honesty, less for seniors, less democracy, less caring and compassion and less protection for our air and water.

Everybody has a role to play in ending cycle of bullying Editor: How many kids have to end their lives before bullying stops? The majority of us will say the answer to this question is zero. Generally, people want bullying to stop. so we do our best to prevent it, but are we doing enough? Do the lectures received in elementary school about the effects of bullying truly make a difference? Does Anti-Bullying Day really change a kid’s attitude? After the suicide of a young girl, I feel it necessary to remind everyone of the individual roles they play in bullying and what they can do to prevent it.

The first role is the victim. It’s important for victims to realize no one is ever alone. If you’re a victim of bullying, ask for help and I guarantee you will receive it. People should never be afraid to make a difference in their own lives. Secondly, there are the bystanders. The truth is, to witness someone get bullied and not say anything is just as bad as being the bully. If you are one of the people who so willingly answered “zero” to my initial question, then never be a bystander. Stand up for anyone and everyone. Finally, we have the bullies. There is no excuse for bullying.

Bringing other people down for whatever reason is no way to live. Before a bully can learn how to respect others, they need to learn how to respect themselves. Many kids have committed suicide as a result of being bullied. It’s sad that it takes an event like this to remind us of the extremes of bullying. Everyone can make a difference. If you think your voice doesn’t matter, you are wrong. In the case of bullying, your voice can potentially save someone’s life — and, that is worth fighting for. Nikita Efimoff Vernon

TIB chief calls for more voices By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Prime Minister Stephen Harper meets with First Nations leaders on Friday, Jan. 11, there’s one name not on the guest list — Tk’emlups Indian Band Chief Shane Gottfriedson. And, while he isn’t too surprised at this fact, the head of the TIB said issues facing First Nations in the country will only be resolved by involving more than “a selective few that sit

and engage with government.” The meeting with Harper comes as a result of an ongoing protest and hunger strike by Attawapiskat First Nations Chief Theresa Spence. Gottfriedson said the only way to “meaningfully move forward is with the 603 First Nations in B.C. and Canada involved.” While he had praise for TIB band member Evelyn Camille, who staged her own five-day fast to support Spence and the associated Idle

No More movement, Gottfriedson said any changes that are made that make it easier for bands to lease land and build their business portfolio are good. One of the issues that prompted Spence’s protest is Bill C-45, which changes the bureaucracy associated with the ability of bands to handle their own land. “That’s our bread and butter,” Gottfriedson said. “And, anything that is done to speed up land development, we’re all for it — not only for our

people but for our partners.” He noted the TIB, with 1,250 members, has eight of its own corporations and more than 350 businesses on the reserve’s land. “We need to have that edge to develop our land, just like any other developer.” The chief said it was unfortunate an audit of finances at Spence’s reserve was leaked this week to the CBC, but noted he believes the federal government and First Nations leaders

are “working in a very productive way, despite the negative publicity that hasn’t been very productive.” Gottfriedson said the TIB is “one of the most accountable and transparent bands around,” with regular audits and financial reports provided to members and a new financial administration law recently passed that “gives us airtight accountability. “We work hard to disclose everything. That’s just our normal way of conducting business.”

Metis court ruling only the beginning By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

In Deb Canada’s opinion, one conversation has ended and another is about to begin. Canada, a Metis, said a decision by the federal court on Tuesday, Jan. 8, ruling Metis and non-status Indians are “Indians” under the Constitution Act and fall under federal jurisdiction isn’t the end of the issue. The decision comes after 13 years of legal battles to clarify the relationship between the federal government and aboriginal people who are not members of reserves. Canada, chief executive officer of the Metis Commission for Children and Families B.C., said caution is required as the Metis and non-status Indians move forward “because this is the beginning of another journey to ensure we are recognized.” In theory, the decision should require the federal government to provide the same health-care and other benefits aboriginals living on reserves receive.

“I’m not getting my hopes up,” Canada said. “It still has such a colonial feel to it.” She said it was good to have the Metis voices heard — albeit over 13 years — but that the collective voice that resonated with the court

does not represent every Metis. “Some of the Metis don’t see each other as Indian,” she said. “And, for a lot of Metis, we’re fairly new at all of this so I hope that, collectively, with this new development, we can move forward.

Cementing a level playing ﬁeld goal of industry Lafarge doesn’t back B.C. Conservatives’ call to kill carbon tax By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

B.C. Conservative Leader John Cummins is once again lashing out at the provincial carbon tax, claiming it threatens to kill the cement industry. However, Bob Cooper, president of Lafarge Canada’s Western Canadian cement division, said Cummins’ claims of the industry’s demise are overstated and his proposed solution to the problem — to scrap the tax outright — isn’t what the industry is after. Cummins said exports of B.C.-made cement to the U.S. have plunged since the tax was introduced, while imports

of American cement have risen from 6.5 per cent of the domestic market in 2007 to 34 per cent in the first half of 2012. “The BC Liberals’ unfair carbon tax has forced B.C.’s three largest cement-kilns to reduce operations by 50 to 60 per cent capacity,” Cummins said. Actually, Cooper said, Lafarge’s Kamloops cement plant and its operation in the Richmond area are both operating at about 75 per cent capacity. “Back in the true recession, we were down to about 50 [per cent] and, as demand has increased, of course utilization has increased,” Cooper

told Kamloops This Weel. Cooper said the company has shifted some its operations to keep numbers up. One of its cement kilns in Seattle was shut down and that business moved to the Richmond operation. In Kamloops, however, numbers have remained stable without that extra help, Cooper said. “Kamloops supports the oil and gas industry, it supports the local economy whether you’re looking at Kelowna or the Interior and a little bit of the western Alberta province,” he said. “So, for Kamloops it’s a good niche

market. It’s always had a slightly higher utilization that what you would see on the coast of B.C.” Cooper said the tax has had a financial impact on B.C. cement producers that has given U.S. companies an advantage in the province, but he believes that issue would be better solved by requiring those companies to also pay the tax if they want to do business in B.C. “All we want is level the playing field. We’re not against the carbon tax, we just want to make sure it’s applicable to everyone that’s selling cement in B.C. because we think it’s only fair,” he said.

“What we don’t want is the B.C. companies to be penalized.” Cooper said the industry has been working with the provincial government and has made a number of suggestions for improvement. According to the Cement Association of Canada, more than half the carbon-dioxide emissions produced when cement is made are unavoidable. When limestone, the primary ingredient in cement, is heated, it produces carbon dioxide. The industry also relies on coal and other carbon-intensive fossil fuels to heat its kilns.

I have a pet, and we need a home...

ALL SPORTS ALL ATHLETES ALL AGES

The BC SPCA believes that if landlords were aware of the significant benefits of pet-friendly housing, they would be more inclined to offer it. One of the biggest direct advantages of offering pet-friendly housing is increased rental income, since people with pets will pay 20 to 30% more for housing. People with pets also stay longer – an average of 46 months, compared to 18 months for people without pets – saving landlords from having to spend time advertising for, finding and screening new reliable tenants. Companion animals have even greater benefits to society at large. They assist children with the development of language skills, empathy, responsibility and self-esteem.

JANUARY ONLY! Bring in a program designed by any other trainer and receive a FULL ASSESSMENT and PERSONALIZED NEW PROGRAM for only $100! A $300 VALUE! (Includes one-on-one training session to teach program)

Studies have also shown that companion animals help reduce feelings of loneliness, anxiety and stress. The BC SPCA recognizes both the need for petfriendly housing, and for responsible tenants who do not abuse the privilege of having pets in their homes. For more information, visit www.spca.bc.ca

New ID cards aimed at curbing health fraud

BASKETBALL JONES

The B.C. government is rolling out its new high-tech medical services cards starting Feb. 15, in an effort to phase out millions of CareCards in the hands of nonresidents. The new cards will be combined with the B.C. driver’s licence, with a similar “BC Services Card” available to those who don’t drive. Residents will be required to re-enrol to renew the card every five years, whether or not they

are licensed to drive. Qualified residents can enrol in the Medical Services Plan at any provincial office that issues driver’s licences. There is no fee for the health services card only. The current $75 fee for a fiveyear driver’s licence renewal will apply to the new combined cards, discounted to $17 for seniors. There is no requirement to get the new card until your driver’s licence needs to be renewed. The government’s plan is to

change over all eligible B.C. residents between the ages of 19 and 74 to the new cards over the next five years. To be eligible for MSP coverage, you must be a citizen or approved permanent resident of Canada, living in B.C. at least six months of the year. Dependents must also be residents to be eligible for coverage. A review in 2011 showed 9.1 million care cards in circulation. B.C. has half as many residents.

City considered for natural-gas bus ﬂeet By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops is one of six communities being considered for natural gas-fuelled buses. Meribeth Burton, spokeswoman for B.C. Transit, said the Crown corporation has started the tendering process to create the province’s first-ever natural-gas fleet in 2014. Other transit systems being considered include those in Greater Vancouver, Nanaimo, Whistler, Prince George and Kelowna. Burton said plans are to choose one community by the end of the month after consultations with the municipal governments representing each transit system.

Burton said the decision was made last year after the provincial government unveiled its naturalgas strategic plan in May. She noted compressed natural gas (CNG) production in B.C. is plentiful and provides a potential fuel-cost saving of between 20 and 30 per cent. A fuelling station would be required and is estimated to cost about $2 million to construct. The company would qualify for financial support through Fortis B.C. grants, but Burton said discussions are ongoing about the level of that assistance. The tender for providing 25 CNG buses next year — and a possible 25 more in 2015 — closes on Feb. 15. Submissions will be reviewed by a B.C. Transit committee.

Furtado’s ‘musical genes’ coming to ISC Vancouver-born singer credits her bloodlines for musical success By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

www.

kamloopsthisweek .com

ELLIE FURTADO CREDITS MUSICAL GENES FOR HER CAREER — IN particular, those that came down into her DNA from her grandfather. “He was a composer,” the Vancouver-born, Grammy-winning singer said, “and I inherited this from him, I think.” They’re strong genes, Furtado said, so strong that she’s found herself out driving and has had to pull over to the side of the road because she has a song in her head she has to get out onto paper. Not onto her BlackBerry, though; it doesn’t have that ability, she said, so she’s thinking about upgrading her smartphone. Furtado will be singing in Kamloops tomorrow (Jan. 11) as she brings her Spirit Indestructible Tour to its only Interior gig at Interior Savings Centre. Music has always been part of her life, whether it be playing the trombone — she was in three bands at one point — or writing and singing. Unlike other female singers of her generation, she said, “I didn’t grow up in the Mickey Mouse Club. I grew up in the church club” and that played a strong role in her love of music. “I do love performing,” Furtado said. “I always liked it, since I was probably four.” She doesn’t limit herself to a solo spotlight, though, enjoying colla-

boations she has had with producer David Foster, fellow B.C. singer Michael Buble and an upcoming one with Andrea Bocelli, with whom she will perform Corcovado on a Foster-produced CD. Talking about the song brings out buoyancy in an already upbeat Furtado. “It’s such a great song,” she said. “It’s a classic Brazilian bossan-nova song and it was great

doing it with him.” Performing it may provide some influence on future musical decisions, Furtado said, because, while rehearsing and then recording Corcovado, it got her musing about a possible jazzy album. With 20-million albums sold, 18-million singles, a debut album in 2000 that led to Juno and Grammy awards and a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame, the

34-year-old said she never tires of performing live — and she loves it when the audience sings along with her. “It’s live, it’s fun and you get to feel the exponential version of your song. Everybody is in there singing with you,” she said.’”It’s extremely person and it’s an emotional journey but it’s so much fun.” Her songs are often catchy and

fun, “but they have meaning, too. They are celebratory, but they have other meaning.” Opening for Furtado are Dylan Murray and Jessica Tyler. Tickets are $35, $49.50 and $69.50, plus taxes and service charges.

This is the 2.5-pound burrito Guadalajara, which can be found on the menu at Fiesta Mexicana on Notre Dame Drive — and on TV screens in February. The dish is one of the offerings that will be featured on The Food Network show You Gotta Eat Here!. Producers filmed the segment in Kamloops in September.

Sahali Mexican restaurant to be featured on upcoming Food Network show The premier of the new season of You Gotta Eat Here! will have a decidedly Mexican — and Kamloops — flavour to it. The Food Network show, which returns for a second season on Friday, Feb. 15, at 6:30 p.m., will feature Fiesta Mexicana Restaurant at 793 Notre Dame Dr. Owner Rodd Cruikshank said his restaurant was identified by scouts for the show who found positive reviews on social-media sites, including Tripadvisor and Urbanspoon. They contacted Cruikshank and sent a crew to film in September with executive chef Albert Vazquez and patrons who talked about the quality and quantity of food. Three dishes were featured for the segment: A

2.5-pound burrito Guadalajara, asada zacacetas (a grilled dish of steak and chorizo that comes from the Mexican hometown of Cruikshank’s fiancee, Elizabeth Lujan) and enchiladas poblanas, the restaurant’s top-selling item. The recipe for the enchiladas will be included in a cookbook producers of the TV show will be publishing. Cruikshank opened the Mexican family restaurant in 2011.

f everything had gone according to schedule, Geraldine and David James would not be the proud parents of the ¿rst baby born in 2013. For starters, the ¿rst-time parents from Merritt were not supposed to welcome their bundle of joy into the world until Jan. 9, which was the due date doctors gave Geraldine after she found out she was pregnant. But, things changed and those same doctors decided to have the James go to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops on the weekend for a C-section, given concerns about the baby’s weight. So, there Geraldine was, with surgery scheduled for 7 p.m. on New Year’s Eve — a slot that would have given her one of the last 2012 babies in the province. “Then I guess there was another lady who they decided had to go in ¿rst,” Geraldine told KTW from her hospital bed at RIH. “By the time they brought me in, it was about 11 or 11:30.” The surgery went as planned and little David Junior Ricky Joe James — all eight pounds, 11 ounces of him — entered the world at 12:02 a.m. That made Baby James the ¿rst of 2013, not only at RIH, but in all of B.C. Since then, Geraldine said, there has been a Àurry of media interviews over and above all of the stuff that comes with being ¿rst time parents. But, she said, her son appears to be loving the attention. “Baby’s doing good,” the 40-year-old said. “Happy, healthy and quiet.”

KTW cuisine columnist Darcie Hossack hates winter — a feeling detailed lower down on this page. But, at least the cold weather offers a good excuse to enjoy some hot beef barley soup.

Re-lighting paradise

HAVE A PLAN. I’m going to tap the thermostat up to “Caribbean,” suspend a dozen light-therapy lamps like solar panels from my living room ceiling, change into a sun frock, pry open a beach chair, and lie upon it. Once there, I’m going to read a novel, a memoir, then a summertime cookbook, and repeat the same each day until either my vitamin D level has replenished, or until it becomes spring — whichever happens first. (Plan B, by the way, involves eating raw brownie batter and wearing a housecoat until April. But let’s leave that one on the shelf a little longer.) Meanwhile, it’s January. January — when the reality of winter involves staring down up to three more months of low-hanging valley cloud that began to arrive back in November. Three more months in a doldrum not unlike being trapped in a Ziplock bag along

DARCIE HOSSACK Bon APPÉTIT with a leftover onion bun. To the chronically cheerful, of course, it’s enough to think sunny thoughts, unleash a glad torrent of endorphins and climb out of the Ziplock while counting down the days ‘til next Christmas. Then there are those of us only willing to squint in the direction of next winter — while still in the throes of this one — because it promises a second of three Hobbit movies. That’s it and that’s all! In the world of men, however, where the sun acts out its

shallow arc across the southern sky for about 45 minutes each day (when it’s visible at all), it begins to seem personal when it glances off my windowsill and refuses to come in. And, so, I begin with one therapeutic lamp. That is, until I discover it emits the exact wavelength that best triggers migraines, and spend the rest of the day using paper plates and plastic forks to avoid the noise clattered up by ceramic and steel being set down, no matter how gently, on granite. When Chefhusband comes home, he lines the kitchen with noise-dampening towels and sends me to bed, where there are blackout drapes and quiet. A short while later, he brings me a bowl of soup. “It’s going to be grey forever,” I say as I take the offered spoon and hand him a damp cloth from my forehead. “Only as long as last year,” he says, meaning this as encouragement.

Be It’s not encouraging. But it’s kindly said, so I swallow a few sharp words with a spoonful of soup made from leftover beef roast, and say thank you. And I mean it. It’s only January, I think to myself. And, so far, it’s beginning to look a lot like February. Three days later, when the migraine begins to drain away, when I’m once again well enough to sit by a reading lamp and take in a few pages at a time, I pick up a memoir by an Irish writerfriend who ditched her PhD, fleeing an Oxford scholarship in favour of “slaying the pow” as a snowboard/ski bum (also marathon runner and prolific baker) in the Interior of B.C. Once I’m done reading, I promise I’ll introduce you to Lisa, along with some of her baked goods. Already, though, I’m willing to bet she never spent three days in bed hiding from winter.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may have trouble connecting with family this week.You are very busy with personal issues and other obligations. It may seem frustrating, but keep your head up.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 You are bound to have a good time this week, Scorpio. It’s because you will be spending time with your family. Enjoy as much time together as you can, including a good meal.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you have a generous spirit, but sometimes you can be just a little bit too generous. Don’t go overboard this week when buying gifts for those close to you.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 This is the ideal week to stay inside as much as possible and read or get busy work taken care of. Although it may not be exciting, it doesn’t require a lot of energy.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you have always been very practical when it comes to matters of ﬁnance. Sometimes, however, the lure of shopping can try your resolve. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you are in a high point in your career, and you don’t want to lose the momentum. But you could feel pulled in too many directions this week to impact the job. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 You have unusually low levels of energy this week, Leo. There isn’t much you can do about it other than prioritize your tasks so you can accomplish the most pressing things.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, this week you may have plans to spend some romantic evenings at home with your partner, but things don’t always work out as expected. Schedule more time later. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, it may seem like the walls are closing in on you, but that’s just because you need a change of scenery. Trade in dull responsibilities for something else. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, this week you may ﬁnd it difﬁcult to concentrate. This is out of character for you, but everyone has an off-day.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, any trips that you are planning this week could be delayed by some mechanical difﬁculties.You’ll get there eventually, but it could take a while. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, don’t take anything at face value this week and try to avoid gossip as much as possible. This is achieved by surrounding yourself with gracious people.

Noel Michell 1932 ~ 2013 On Sunday, January 6th, 2013, Noel Michell of Kamloops, B.C. passed away peacefully surrounded with the love of family. He was 80 years old.

He lived his entire life on Jocko Creek Ranch south of Kamloops. He dedicated his life to ranching, family and friends. He was a great stockman with years spent herding large ﬂocks of sheep in the Hooshum Mountain ranges south of Merritt and later raising Hereford and Angus cattle at the home ranch. Noel always rode a good horse and enjoyed riding and working with his animals. He was a steward of the land, with a great love of nature and respect for animals. He was a hard working man with a kind, generous heart. Dad treasured his time with friends and family, and truly enjoyed his grandchildren. He took great pride in the accomplishments of his grandchildren in school, sports, arts and 4-H. Many thanks for the help and support his neighbors and fellow ranchers extended to him throughout his life, and to Dr. Proctor, the nurses at the Kamloops Cancer Clinic, and the staff of Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice for the care they provided him. “Loved with a love beyond all telling, Missed with a grief beyond all tears, To the world he was just one To us he was the entire world.” A Memorial Service will be held at the Calvary Community Church, 1205 Rogers Way, Kamloops, Saturday, Jan 12 at 2 pm. Memorial donations can be forwarded to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice. “May he ride with the wind always at his back” Arrangements entrusted to Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services - 250-554-2324

The Merry Lark

Claudia Engli 1925 ~ 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Claudia Engli on January 4th, 2013 at 87 years of age. After a lengthy illness she passed away peacefully with her family by her bedside. Claudia is survived by her children: Claudio (Ania), Susan (Peter), Julia (Ron), Mike (Roxanne), Heidi (Robin) and adopted daughter Violet Yuen. She also leaves behind her grandchildren: Ashley, Angeline, Caitlin, Michael, Kelton and Kaia, and adopted granddaughter, Brandee. Claudia came to Canada from Europe in the early 50's and ventured to Kamloops in 1973 where she worked at RIH in various capacities. She retired as a nurse in 1991. Claudia was an artistic gardener, potter, voracious reader, an excellent cook and could create anything with her hands, including building a sailboat in her back yard at the age of 50. She loved to travel and was intensely curious about cultures and lifestyle from all over the world. She lived life to the fullest, was a caring, loving person, fiercely independent, and a brave woman who was never afraid to take on any challenge. As the matriarch of our family, she had a huge heart and a soft shoulder for all who needed it. She leaves a void that will never be filled. We will all miss you, Momo. We wish to thank Dr. Sigalet, Dr. Steyn and the wonderful staff at RIH for the exceptional care mom received in her final days. A celebration of life will follow at a later date. Please contact Heidi at: heidiwhiteaker@gmail.com if you wish to be notified of the date.

The merry, merry lark was up and singing; and the hare was out and feeding on the lea, And the merry, merry bells below were ringing, When my child’s laugh rang through me. Now the hare is snared and dead beside the snow yard, And the lark beside the dreary winter sea, And my baby in his cradle in the churchyard Waiteth there until the bells bring me.

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

Raffaele Torchia On January 5th, 2013, Raffaele Torchia of 90 years passed d away peacefully with his loving family at his side. Raffaele was born on January 12, 1922 to parents Joe and Maria Torchia in Amato Catanzaro, Italy. He was predeceased by his loving wife Vittoria in 2004 after 54 years of marriage. He is survived by his sons Mario (Elaine) Torchia, Joe Torchia, and Dave Torchia; his daughters Filomena Carnovale, Pierina (Doug) Nystoruk, and Raffelina Kellington. Grandchildren; Darcy, Rashel, Daniel, Maria, Meghan, Michael, and Teah; seven great grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister Seraﬁna Loschiavo, son in law Blair Kellington, daughter in n law Sherry Blower along with many nieces, nephews and cousins. ns. After returning from the war, Ralph immigrated to Kamloops in 1951with his wife Vittoria and son Mario where they made Kamloops their home for the past 62 years. His employment years began with working on his Uncle Pete Morelli’s farm when they arrived to Canada. As his family began to grow, Ralph was fortunate in expanding his employment opportunities. From the farm, Ralph worked construction for many years with Interior Contracting until he landed a full time job with the City of Kamloops. This took him to his retirement in February 1987. Dad was very proud of the opportunity given to him in becoming a Canadian citizen and having the life he had. Dad’s memorable pastimes besides spending time with his loving family and friends were tending to his garden, fruit trees and grape vines in his back yard. This was his favorite place and could be guaranteed to ﬁnd him sitting at his picnic table smoking his pipe in the company of his neighbors and the family dogs. Sometimes you would be greeted with him sitting in his favorite chair outside the front door when you pulled into the driveway, of course smoking his pipe and a smile on his face. Dad enjoyed the time and friendship spent with Tony at his welding shop, his daily walks, and the friendships he made in his 90 years. We would like to express a heartfelt thank you to the Home Support Workers, 7 North Nursing Staff and Kamloops Hospice for the loving care you provided to our dad.

Survey the Storm

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Storm play two Kootenay International Junior Hockey League games this weekend at McArthur Island Sports and Events Centre. After a game in 100 Mile House against Penticton on Friday, Jan. 11, the Storm will return home to host the Nelson Leafs on Saturday, Jan. 12. Puck-drop is slated for 7 p.m. Kamloops and the Sicamous Eagles get underway at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 13. The Storm have struggled this season and sit fourth in the Okanagan-Shuswap Conference’s Doug Birks Division with a record of 13-20-2-4. Sicamous (22-7-2-4) leads the Birks division and Nelson (26-9-2-1) is atop the league’s standings. Kamloops is welcoming goaltender Wade Moyls back to the fold this weekend. Moyls, who played with the Storm last season, replaces Marcus Beesley, who was traded to Nelson earlier this month.

AMLOOPS BLAZERS’ general manager Craig Bonner did his wheeling and dealing well before today’s (Jan. 10) Western Hockey League trade deadline, leaving members of the Blue and Orange to focus less on trade rumours and more on hockey. “We’ve made our deal with [Joel] Edmundson a little earlier and now adding Kale Kessy, unless something comes up that makes a lot of sense and doesn’t result in us having to move a key roster player, I think we’re pretty much done,” Bonner said on Tuesday, Jan. 8. If the Blazers do make a deal before today’s 2 p.m. deadline, the details will be found online at kamloopsthisweek.com. The Blazers’ four most-recent acquisitions have at least one thing in common — size. Defencemen Edmundson and Sam Grist are both six-footfour and weigh more than 200 pounds. On the front end, Kessy is six-foot-three and tips the scales at 202 pounds, while Joe Kornelsen is listed at six-foot-one and weighs 197 pounds. The deals were all made with the postseason in mind, said Bonner, noting size is critical in long playoff series. “The mandate going into the year was we needed to get bigger,” Bonner said. “With the four new players, we’ve definitely added size and grit and toughness and we’ve addressed our needs.” Kessy fills the third 20-year-old spot, after

Gaze at the grapplers

The phones at headquarters on Mark Recchi Way are not expected to be ringing off the hook today, with the WHL’s trade deadline set for 2 p.m. Kamloops Blazers’ GM Craig Bonner already made his big moves, which included the acquisition of power forward Kale Kessy. Allen Douglas/KTW

Jordan DePape was forced to leave the Blazers in November with a shoulder injury and the Charles Inglis experiment failed in December. Forwards Brendan Ranford and Dylan Willick are the other 20s. Ranford will have made it through six trade deadlines with the Blazers, should he not be moved in an unexpected last-minute deal after KTW’s press time. The Edmonton product has never felt like he was on the block, but he was quickly introduced to the ruthless nature of the trade deadline upon arrival in the Tournament Capital.

“When I was 15, I remember I came in and it was close to deadline time and three guys got dealt right after the game,” Ranford said. “It was an eyeopener for the first time I was called up.” Defencemen Ryan Bender and Victor Bartley and centre Brock Nixon were sent packing that day. Blazer D-man Jordan Thomson is experiencing his first deadline this season. “It’s sad to see guys go,” said Thomson, whose former teammate and friend, Tyler Bell, was shipped to Moose Jaw in the Edmundson deal. “You’re all good

friends here and you’re all family and it’s sad to see people go but, at the same time, it’s what the coaches and organization needs to have a successful team this year.” Blazer fans and brass alike will not get a look at the full postdeadline lineup until later this month. Right-winger JC Lipon, who played for Canada at the World Junior Hockey Championship in Ufa, Russia, is not expected to be back with the team until this weekend, when the Blazers play the Cougars in Prince George on Friday, Jan. 11, and Saturday, Jan. 12. Defencemen Marek

Hrbas, who was playing with the Czech Republic at the world juniors, and Tyler Hansen, who has been battling an illness, were expected to return on Wednesday, Jan. 9, when Kamloops hosted Tri-City. Log on to KTW’s website for a game summary. Centre Aspen Sterzer is recovering from an upper-body injury and a date for his return has not been set. “The trouble right now is we haven’t really seen our team with a full lineup yet, but I think we have as good a chance as anybody to compete for a title,” Bonner said.

The Western Canada Age Class wrestling tournament will be hosted at the Tournament Capital Centre on Friday, Jan. 11, and Saturday, Jan. 12. Organizers are expecting about 800 wrestlers to attend, including some of the best young grapplers in the country. Alize Perriard-Abdoh and Tamara Ghering of Kamloops, gold- and silver-medal winning wrestlers, respectively, at the 2011 Western Canada Summer Games, will be in action. The action runs from 9 a.m. to about 6 p.m. on Friday and from 9 a.m. to about 3 p.m. on Saturday. Call Brian Dick at 250-574-0667 for more information.

Back the Pack The men’s and women’s TRU WolfPack basketball teams are in action this weekend in Kamloops. Clashes with the Lethbridge Pronghorns are scheduled for 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. Both Saturday games will also be played in the TRU Gym.

Soak in the slalom The Sun Peaks Alpine Club is hosting the Okanagan Zone Giant Slalom Race on Saturday, Jan. 12, and Sunday, Jan. 13. Races start each day at 9:45 a.m. at the Nancy Greene International Race Centre atop the OSV run. The event will feature about 160 athletes from across the province. An awards ceremony will be held at 3:45 p.m. on Sunday in the village.

Spence sisters invade Cow Town The Spence-sister trio were in Calgary for a pair of meets on the weekend. Competing in the Canadian single distance championships were Tori, 20, and Josie, 18, with the eldest sister winning silver in the 5,000m and Josie qualifying first overall among junior females. The meet, for Josie, was a qualifier for the junior world championships, slated to run on Feb. 23 and Feb. 24 in Collalbo, Italy. Josie placed sixth overall in the 3,000m, setting a provincial record of 4:14.06 in the process; eighth in the 1,500m, with another provincial record of 2:01.54; 11th in the 500m, with a provincialrecord time of 39.71; and 10th in the 1,000m. Only the top four female and male skaters cracked the Team Canada roster. Sara Spence, 17, was fifth in the 500m, 10th in the 1,500m and 3,000m, and 15th in the 1,000m in the Canada Cup portion of the meet.

South Kam, ranked third in AAA, beat the Holy Cross Crusaders of Surrey 64-50 on Saturday, Jan. 5, and 58-53 on Sunday, Jan. 6, at the Tournament Capital Centre. The Crusaders will likely be pegged to win the AA provincials, which will be held in the River City in March. Emma Wolfram netted 16 points and recorded nine blocks on Saturday for South Kam, while Maya Olynyk pitched in with 13 points, six steals and four assists.

Emily Vilac — who joined Olynyk, Wolfram and Crusader players Michelle Bos and Amy Sprangers on the provincial under-17 team over the summer — added nine points. The Titans, in their second game of the Okanagan Valley season, downed the Salmon Arm Jewels 67-39 on Tuesday, Jan. 8, at South Kam. Next up for the Titans is a home game against the NorKam Saints on Tuesday, Jan. 15, in the JP Gym. Tip-off is slated for 6 p.m., with a senior boys game between the same

Men’s Curling Championship, which runs from Feb. 5 to Feb. 10 in Parksville. The winner of the provincial championship will represent B.C. at the Tim Hortons Brier in Edmonton in March. Yamada failed to qualify for provincials at a zone competition in Kelowna in December, but was one of three qualifiers at an open competition in Maple Ridge on Sunday, Jan. 6. The Yamada quartet is comprised of skip Brent, third Corey Sauer, second Doug Murdoch and lead Lance Yamada. The Kamloops Curling Club rink qualified for the 2011 provincials in Vernon, where a 4-4 round-robin record was good enough to reach the playoffs. Team Yamada lost its first draw and finished fourth.
