The year-end interview

Premier Christy Clark

Mayor Peter Milobar

After a whirlwind year that started with a come-from-behind election win, Premier Christy Clark sat down for the traditional year-end interview in her Victoria office. Here are excerpts from that discussion.

Mayor Peter Milobar can pick out a few City of Kamloops highlights of 2013 — an $80-million expansion that broke ground at Royal Inland Hospital and better streetlights on Tranquille, to name two. But, for the most part, the year that was contained more “day in, day out” tasks than epic moments or raging battles. While that doesn’t make for the most exciting memories, Milobar said it’s the way he prefers it. “I’ve always said good local government sometimes almost seems boring,” the mayor told KTW in an endof-year sit-down. “I think that’s been a good thing in terms of how we as a council have done things. We’ve done things very methodically, not rushed things if they don’t need to be rushed.” Not that the year was entirely without event. The city’s decision to swap out its coin-operated meters for pay stations PETER MILOBAR earned a few headlines, as did council’s decision to raise pay for councillors by around $10,000 as of the next term. While KGHM Ajax failed to file for an environmental review of its controversial proposed copper and gold mine in 2013, it didn’t stop delegations, letter writers and two different online petitions from showing up at city hall, calling for council’s support or condemnation of the project. And, starting to loom larger in the minds of those around the council table, is next year’s municipal election, during which at least a few of the issues of 2013 are likely to once again rear their heads.

FLETCHER: Premier, you surprised a few people this year. What surprised you most about 2013? PREMIER: I guess it was the disconnect between the pollsters and the pundits, and the public. I did have a sense all the time that the citizens were thinking something different in the run-up to the election campaign. I wondered — am I missing something here or are they missing something? And I guess it turned out that it wasn’t me that was missing something. CHRISTY CLARK FLETCHER: The liquefied natural gas export project is going to use a lot of natural gas, especially in the early years. Will B.C.’s greenhouse-gas reduction targets [20 per cent reduction by 2020, 80 per cent reduction by 2050] have to be changed? PREMIER: I don’t have a clear answer on that yet. We are working with the companies on exactly how we are going to structure their environmental commitments and costs, and their electricity costs versus using gas — the total royalty-tax regime. We’re looking at that as one package. X CONTINUED ON A15

Union claims nurses leaving due to violence By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

In the past two weeks, there have been two more incidents of violence against nurses at Hillside Centre — and six nurses have left the psychiatric facility for other jobs. Judy Surkon, the regional director for occupational health and safety for the B.C. Nurses Union (BCNU), said the six left because they do not feel safe in the facility adjacent to Royal Inland Hospital, taking other temporary nursing jobs in the city. However, Sandy daSilva, the Interior Health Authority’s (IHA)

director of tertiary mental-health services, disputed the allegation. “Staff move around and, if I have a casual who gets a permanent part-time position, she takes it,” daSilva said. “There are always one or two people moving and I applaud them for doing that.” The dispute comes as the BCNU and the Union of Psychiatric Nurses (UPN) have gone public with concerns about safety at the centre, citing two more attacks occurring in the same time period, the most recent when a psychiatric nurse was roughly elbowed by a man and required treatment in hospital. An earlier attack saw a nurse jumped by a man when she told

him to wait for toast. Eight staffers were required to get him off of her. The two incidents bring the total to at least 66 Code Whites, described in a 29-page document on prevention and management of aggressive behaviour in health care as “a situation in which a client is behaving in a potentially dangerous manner towards himself or others and indicates a potential for escalating or is escalating beyond the abilities of the present staff to control the situation.” The document was created by the Health Association of B.C., WorkSafe BC and the province’s Occupational Health and Safety Agency for Healthcare. DaSilva said she encourages

White Codes be called, describing it as a tool available for staff to deal with behaviours — both existing and what appear to be imminent — from patients. WorkSafe BC is investigating the most-recent incidents, Murphy said, adding in his years working in similar institutions, he has never encountered a psychiatric facility with as many Code Whites in a year as he has seen at Hillside. Both union officials blamed the situation on inadequate staffing, noting the wards — called pods at Hillside — often do not have the minimum three staff members the government has decreed are necessary under its essential-services language, which states the provin-

cial labour-relations board must certify essential services and staffing levels that are “necessary or essential to prevent the immediate and serious danger to the health, safety or welfare of the residents of British Columbia.” Essential-service staffing requirements only come into play, however, during times of labourunion action. “Yet, day to day, we can’t get essential-services baseline staffing,” Surkon said DaSilva said the essentialservices figure is based on an assumption each ward would have its maximum 12 patients.

LOCAL NEWS

Court ruling leaves many questions By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

If new laws on prostitution can stop prostitutes from having to go out onto street corners, it would be a remarkable accomplishment in the view of Bob Hughes. The executive director of the ASK Wellness Centre, which provides programs and counselling to prostitutes, said he was surprised the ruling last week by the Supreme Court of Canada was a unanimous rejection of existing laws, something he attributes to the frustration the

justices feel toward the federal government. “They said this is a bad law, you have a year to go and figure it out,” Hughes said. “That’s something.” However, he wonders what comes next and, if it’s to legalize brothels, Hughes is skeptical the idea will get much acceptance in Kamloops. “Say the government decides to let this go indoors and follow a libertarian model, in this city, where would you put a brothel? “I’d have no problem with it beside me, but I know many others would not want it.

“It’s classic NIMBYism. We want to tackle homelessness. We want to get women off the street. “But, we don’t want to do it on our street.” Mayor Peter Milobar said that, should the issue be bounced into municipal jurisdiction, the city would have to treat it as it does any other business. That would require developing the proper zoning, something Milobar said the city does with neighbourhood pubs. “There’s no one zoning for them,” he said. “They’re decided on an individual basis.”

RCMP searching for woman who robbed Mac’s Kamloops Mounties are searching for a female robber after the Mac’s convenience store in North Kamloops was held up on Friday, Dec. 20. Const. Bernie Ward said a woman wielding a knife entered the store at 205 Tranquille Rd. at 1:25 p.m. and demanded money from the clerk. She grabbed the cash and was last seen heading north on Tranquille Road. Police are looking for a white woman in her late 30s. She was wearing a red jacket and had a hood pulled over her head to conceal her face.

When the business of death hijacks common sense

DROVE OVER TO THE North Shore on the weekend, just to check out something. And yes, there are people living near the Kamloops Funeral Home. Houses across the road, houses beside it, houses on the other side of Fortune Drive. Lots of houses. There are also houses within eyesight of Schoening’s Funeral Home downtown and that big residential complex of seniors just a short fieldgoal kick away at Bedford Manor. I’ve been to services at both funeral homes and, it’s true — people will walk in weeping and walk out probably still crying. It’s the nature of memorial services, where we all gather to be reminded just how special the person we are now missing was to each of us. Some of them have been overwhelmingly sad, gatherings where we all truly did need to console each other. That would fit with the criticism city council heard recently as councillors considered an application for a funeral-arrangement office in a downtown house. A woman who owns a rental unit near the house declared funerals as “not a happy occasion, facing dead people or being reminded of everything that comes with it.” It is, however, a reality and, frankly, I was as offended by her remark as she apparently is by the sadness that surrounds a death. The proposal was for a property that’s already been the source of gov-

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL ernment problems for its owner, Kris Ruston, thanks to zoning regulations changing after he bought it to be his own home that would preclude it from being a residence now. Now, having bought another house for his growing family, Ruston is left with a property that, through no fault of his own, he can’t sell for its original use. Ruston has been trying to sell the property for a long time, to no avail. Then, along came Drake Smith, president of North Thompson Funeral Services, who wanted to use the house not for memorials or embalming, but as a place for family and friends of someone who has died to make arrangements. He would also hold the bodies until the family could make arrangements for cremation. If they didn’t want cremation, he would send bodies to his facility in Clearwater for embalming before burial. So, basically, a body would arrive, be taken into the house and not come out again until the family — weeping and wailing and causing the neighbours an untold amount of anguish,

apparently — made the final arrangements. Those finalizing the details might have had to park in the alleyway behind the property which, if you drive east on Seymour Street, you will see just as you merge onto Battle Street. It’s the blue house on the southeast corner. Be careful when you stop to look, though, because traffic is always busy there, which makes me wonder why one of our councillors expressed concern about the alley becoming busier if Drake’s proposal had been accepted. I wonder what business the councillor would agree to on Ruston’s property. Years ago, when home economics was a required subject, I brought in a dress I’d been working on at home. My friend asked me about the strange long pins I had used to hold the pattern in place. “They’re embalming pins,” I told her. “My uncle runs a funeral home and he gave me a pack of them.” She was aghast — and I was perplexed. “They’re just pins,” I told her. And Drake’s proposal is just a business, albeit the business of death. If council gets the creeps over it, do Ruston a favour and buy the property from him at a fair market price. Then council can figure out what to do with it. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com kamloopsstreetlevel.tumblr.com

The federal Conservative government has opted not to address the very urgent and growing problem that is the Canadian Pension Plan (CPP). Instead of offering any sort of meaningful reform or choosing to adequately fund the CPP so Canadians can expect to be taken care of — after having spent a lifetime of paying taxes — the Conservatives instead opted to do nothing and, presumably, hope the problem just goes away. It’s no secret the CPP is underfunded. And, given the country’s demographics — with millions of Canadians facing retirement in coming years — this is an issue that can’t be put off any longer. Seniors now make up close to 15 per cent of Canada’s population, totalling more than fourmillion people. With the median age in Canada now over 40 for the first time ever, the issue of our aging population and how to take care of them isn’t going away. The issue is clear to see: Canadians are living longer and, as a result, drawing on the CPP more than in generations past. As result, we need to do a better job of funding the CPP if we want it to work. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty needn’t worry about his own financial future, of course. As an MP who has served more than six years in the House of Commons, Flaherty has a goldplated taxpayer-funded pension to draw on for the rest of his life, upon his retirement. The rest of us aren’t so lucky. Adequately funding the CPP is the fiscally responsible thing to do, but it is also politically difficult. As a result, the Conservatives have taken the easy way out, opting for the instant gratification of low taxes in the present at the cost of a stable future for our citizens. Isn’t that how we got into this mess in the first place?

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Re: Story: Kamloops looks at two-week school spring break: “I can’t see any advantages to a longer spring break, especially not for the students. “Their lunch breaks are already short enough and their school day is long enough. “It will also increase day-care costs. “The article doesn’t mention any cost savings, so why is this even being considered?” — posted by Tobi Danford

Re: Story: Council buries funeral plan: “Just another example of our soft city council letting the unjustified, ridiculous beliefs of a few whiny neighbours dictate policy and business development in Kamloops. “Drake Smith was very clear in his proposal about how much traffic this business would generate and, to me, it sounded like it would be far less than what my wife and I generate as the current residents of this house.” — posted by Kris Ruston

Murder victims deserved fundamental justice Editor: As the aunt of Kenneth Yaretz Jr., who, along with Damien Marks, was murdered in April 2009 by Roy Fraser, I would like to comment on behalf of our families. Section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms states: “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person . . . to fundamental justice.” Fraser’s rights included his freedom for a year past the deaths of Kenni and Damien and 18 months on bail before the trial. He had the right to a speedy trial, which, by all accounts, was delayed way beyond reason, most likely by defence council, backlog of court schedules and paperwork. Fraser had the right to have his trial by judge or jury and the benefit of time served. He had the right to apply for bail, unless already incarcerated for another crime, and he had the right to not be subjected to cruelty. This has been mandated and stipulated by our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Our law gave him all the rights. Kenni and Damien had been given only what was in the power of evidence found nearly five weeks after their deaths and their lives laid bare before the court. They could not speak, testify or incrim-

inate their assailant. They could not give evidence for the day of their deaths and so, unless with absolute proof, any assertions against Fraser may still have been held as false or repudiated. Media have continually reported on Kenni’s ties with the Independent Soldiers gang and as a convicted drug dealer, yet no mention was made of Fraser’s prior convictions or illegal involvements. Of course, this could not be stated during trial as Fraser’s right to privacy may have been violated. But, there was no privacy for the families of Kenni and Damien. The RCMP did a reputable job and on behalf of our families and I would like to thank them. As for the media, I believe caution must be given when reporting to not expand or inflate on character. Admittedly, Kenni was not a pillar of society. He was convicted of possession of marijuana (trafficking), but was given a conditional sentence. He spent less than two months in jail upon breaching his conditional sentence. This was a young man who was led down a path of destruction and became involved with such people as Fraser. Damien’s misfortune was to be a close

friend to Kenni, following that path as well. Their deaths and how it was caused was cruel and horrific punishment. Kenni and Damien’s freedom to life was violated and the court/jury had the recourse and power to remedy this. I believe the jury had to reach no other decision and, for that, our families are grateful. Fraser sentenced these two men to death. Once he has served his “life” sentence, he will be free, with limited supervision, to carry on. His 2.5 years of incarceration most likely will be two-for-one credit, his sentences are concurrent and he had 18 months of limited freedom on bail while our families waited. However, these are the harshest sentences our laws allow. At least for that, our families again are grateful. As the judge stated when sentencing Fraser: “These were unspeakable acts . . .” Kenni and Damien were and remain significant as sons, brothers, nephews, cousins and friends. They deserved no less than the basest of fundamental justice. Name held by request of letter writer for safety concerns

Kamloops helps Rotary reach its gooooooooooooaaaaaal!!!! Editor: A special thanks to all who supported the recent collection of soccer shoes for an international Rotary project. We had a wonderful response from the Kamloops community, receiving more than 400 pairs of soccer shoes, along with various other generous donations of sports equipment and school supplies. These donations are being sent to South Africa and will help to make a positive difference in the lives of many children of all ages who are less fortunate than ourselves. To everyone who contributed, we thank you for making a difference and touching the hearts of so many. Wishing you a wonderful festive season and all the very best for 2014.

Traffic was delayed late Sunday, Dec. 22, after a two-vehicle accident on the Battle Street off-ramp to Highway 1 at about 10 p.m.. Kamloops RCMP said the driver of a westbound vehicle was disoriented due to the falling snow and was driving in the fast lane of the eastbound side of the ramp. An eastbound vehicle came up the slope and neither driver could avoid the collision. One driver was taken to Royal Inland Hospital with a hand injury and both vehicles had to be towed from the site. A long line of traffic that backed onto Battle Street was able to continue on at about 10:30 p.m.

Club Kindness gets kids to do good By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Natalie Peace was a child, there was a poster on the wall next to the doorway of her house. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message was simple, she said â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you step out into the world, who do you want to be?â&#x20AC;? The poster had about 100 suggested acts of kindness but, in her family, there were no lectures to adhere to them. Instead, Peace said, her parents taught by doing it themselves. This is a different time, however, Peace said. Rather than hanging posters to spread the message, she and partner Carrie Neal have turned to the place â&#x20AC;&#x153;where kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eyes already areâ&#x20AC;? with their Club Kindness app. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, however, another online game that will capture kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attention for hours on end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is about engaging them in the world,â&#x20AC;? Peace said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a babysitter. Parents have to really be engaged. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even like

Sesame Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about parents spending time with their kids.â&#x20AC;? The premise is simple. Club Kindness provides 22 daily challenges for kids to take on as their mission, each representing values like courage, helpfulness, friendliness, leadership, gratitude, thoughtfulness and generosity. Parent and child read through the challenge and, once they choose a challenge, the application freezes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And you go out and do the mission,â&#x20AC;? Peace said. With each completion, children are asked to answer four questions about their act of kindness, what happened when they did it and how they felt about it. Those answers appear on the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website â&#x20AC;&#x201D; clubkindess.com. A variety of animal characters, each representing a quality, guide kids through the challenges and, once the 22 are done, children get an email with a personalized certificate signed by

IHA: StafďŹ ng at Hillside exceeds minimum X From A3

Murphy accused the IHA of taking its staffing levels â&#x20AC;&#x153;to rock bottomâ&#x20AC;? to save money and dismissed assertions by daSilva that staffing is based on the number of patients in each pod and the severity of their illnesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sandy doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what the patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; acuity is,â&#x20AC;? Murphy said, accusing her of viewing her job as â&#x20AC;&#x153;to not compromise on budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep putting patients and staff at risk.â&#x20AC;? DaSilva, however, said she has 28 years of nursing experience, having started out as a psychiatric nurse at Riverview Hospital, the mental-health facility in Coquitlam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, I have a good understanding of what acuity is,â&#x20AC;? she said. As for assertions she understaffs, daSilva said she actually overstaffs the pods beyond the three staff members deemed by government as a minimum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am super-diligent in filling every single vacancy as it comes along.â&#x20AC;?

YEAR-END INTERVIEW WITH THE PREMIER

CLARK: We signed on to national energy strategy X From A1

FLETCHER: If B.C. is going to get credit somehow for displacing coal use in Asia, shouldn’t B.C.’s coal exports, even though it’s metallurgical coal, count in our greenhouse-gas total as well? PREMIER: To me, it’s a question of, are we going to do good around the world or are we not? Are we going to pretend that the borders for greenhouse gas stop at the B.C. border? We have an opportunity to do something really good for ourselves. I know that the academics and pundits are going to get all mired in competing sets of numbers and studies. For me, we have a chance to do good for the world and we’re going to take it.

supporting her effort for a national energy strategy. What do you see it doing in the future? PREMIER: We agreed to work on it with them and the rest of the country. When the premiers met in Halifax and I said we have five conditions for heavy oil in British Columbia and, by the way, we’re not signing on to work on the national energy strategy until Alberta agrees to the five conditions, we lived up to that commitment. Now that they have finally signed on, and I think it’s a good example of how if you stand firm you can get what you want, we signed on to the national energy strategy. The big idea that she’s trying to pursue with that is a strategy that will connect us east to west in energy. Energy grids are much better connected north to south than they are east to west. So, she’s trying to pursue a pan-Canadian strategy for the exchange of energy, whether that’s hydroelectricity or natural gas or whatever it is. We haven’t been intimately involved with it until recently, so we’ll see where it goes.

FLETCHER: On oil pipelines, your agreement in November with Alberta Premier Alison Redford involves B.C.

FLETCHER: There’s a perception out there, fuelled by the opposition, that you campaigned against

However that turns out, though, this opportunity to export natural gas to Asia is the single-biggest opportunity we have ever had as a province to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions around the world. In shipping this to China, we are going to help them wean themselves off some of the dirtiest coal anybody’s burning anywhere in the world.

up to

oil pipelines and now you’re turning the tanker around, as it were, to be in support of them. What do you say to that? PREMIER: It’s typical of the other guys to reinterpret and misquote. That’s what they do. They’re in opposition. What I said was, we have five conditions that must be met in order for heavy oil to be considered to go ahead in British Columbia. That has not changed. The five conditions remain in place. As of today, none of them have been met. The only thing that is different today from before the election is that now I no longer stand alone in supporting the five conditions. I have one other premier supporting me, and that’s Alison Redford. FLETCHER: The TransLink financing referendum was another hot topic during the election. It seems likely to fail, especially if it gives people the option to say no thanks. Will it be limited to choosing between funding sources? PREMIER: The mayors and the transportation minister haven’t come to a conclusion about what it’s going to look like. My expectation, though, is generally that people will be able to choose amongst a num-

ber of options, one of which will be status quo. But, it’s not going to be a yes or no option. There will be a number of options, so it will mean that people will need to do a little bit of homework, thinking about what they’d like to pay for and how they’d like to pay for it, or whether or not they’d like to just keep the status quo. I trust citizens to be able to make good decisions if you provide them with all the facts. I think this argument that if we make the mistake of asking the public, they will inevitably say no, is kind of insulting for people. I think we should take more opportunities to ask them and consult them. The liquor review is a good example. I said during the election that we were going to be reviewing liquor and this crazy, antiquated system we have that’s grown up over 100 years, and we went to the public, did a consultation. And 75 per cent of the feedback that we got was, figure out a way to put liquor in grocery stores. I wasn’t expect-

FLETCHER: New union agreements are coming out in the public service, longer term agreements. Is this patterned after a profit sharing approach in the private sector? PREMIER: Yes. We are trying to link the growth of public sector wages to the growth in the private sector. I think it’s the right thing to do, and I really am delighted that the leaders of the public sector unions in British Columbia have had the foresight to recognize that their members should have a stake in economic growth — that if the economy is grow-

ing that. I didn’t ask [Richmond Steveston MLA] John Yap to go into the liquor review with any expectation that that’s where we would end up. But, we asked people and this is what they told us, and so we are going to find a way to act on that. It’s a good example of why it’s not wise to assume what citizens are going to do before you ask them. I think May 14 was another good example of that.

GEORGINA “BERNICE”

PETTY

Randy passed away on December 14, 2013 with his wife and best friend, Nancy, by his side after his admirable battle with ALS.

Randy’s love for his family was very precious. His love for his Son’s Sean and Terry was so special, as not only was he their Dad, but their best friend. Consuela and Roja were the two other ladies in his life that made him smile and laugh any time they were with him. Riding his road bike was his favorite pastime. He would always been seen riding around town and after ALS took that away from him, you could see him cruising in his bright green wheelchair, “The Spermobile”. Summer was spending time with family and friends around the “Booze Lagoon”, and winter was Florida or Mexico where Randy and Nancy had planned to retire. His other passions in life were his sports teams, the Miami Dolphins, and the Winnipeg Jets and on some weekends his Fantasy Football team. Even when there weren’t any Jets, he was still their biggest fan. When the Jets returned to Winnipeg he was one of the lucky ones to be at their ﬁrst home game.

There will be a “Celebration of Randy” at the Kamloops Convention Centre in the main ballroom on January 8, 2014 at 2:00pm. Randy’s request was for no suits, no ties and for all to wear shorts and sandals, but said he was ok with no shorts being it was January. The family would like to thank Drs. J. Thomas, J. Calder and R. Mosewich, the ALS Society of BC as well as all the other caregivers for making this journey a bit easier for him. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations can be made to the ALS Society of BC/Yukon or the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House.

Should friends desire, memorial donations may be made to Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism, 1111 Tranquille Rd, Kamloops, BC V2B 3J8.

A Service of Remembrance for Shirley will be held at a later date in the Logan Lake Community Church.

Lastly from our family to all of the family and friends who were by Randy’s side throughout his journey, you were nothing short of amazing and it will never be forgotten. Te amo Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home 250-554-2577 Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

BRIAN ROBERT

BENTLEY, LUCILLE

July 22, 1942 ~ December 21, 2013

Randy was born in Kipling, SK and moved to Thompson, MB with his family in 1959. With his love of hockey, he chose to ﬁnish his schooling at Notre Dame College in Wilcox, SK. He met his true love Nancy in 1972 and they were married in 1974. Randy started working for INCO in 1973 and there he took his Mill Wright and Heavy Duty Mechanical Apprenticeships. In December 1980 Randy moved his family to Logan Lake and started working for Lornex Mines. His diligence and dedication led him to become the General Foreman of Mine Maintenance with Teck Highland Valley Copper. Randy was also a proud member of CIM South Central Branch.

April 7, 1916 – December 16, 2013

Mom will be greatly missed by her daughter, Joy (Jim) Gothard of Kamloops, Dylan Gothard (Nancy Hofer) of Courtenay, Owen (Kim) Gothard of Kamloops, her sister, Jean, her sistersin-law and many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. We would like to thank Dr. Doug Hamilton, all the staff at Berwick on the Park, her painting buddies, Joyce Popein, Bonnie Tindall and Suzy Knox, and her “ﬂower-daughter”, Jan Surline. Together, we were a great team, giving Bernice the best quality of life until her last breath.

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. Author Unknown

MRS. MARIA DI GIACOMO May 17, 1925 ~ December 22, 2012 Dear Mom, You’ve been gone for a year, in this time I’ve missed your guidance. As this year went by, I’ve missed you every day. I’ve missed your wisdom. I’ve missed the things you’ve done and the things you’ve taught me. I’ve missed cooking with you, the way you taught me to make pastachiutto and sausages from the old country. Our recipe was always the best. Everyone loved it, nobody made it better and I haven’t made it since. Everyone misses your espresso, your biscotti and the way you opened your heart and home and taught your friends and family to do the same. I will always cherish you. No matter what, until I die. You, dad and Giuseppe taught me so much, I will never forget what I learned from you. And as you always wanted, Dominic, Giulio and myself are doing well, we’re taking care of each other. Mom, I miss you so much. You were such a perfect angel and you were always right. I wish I would have listened. I wish all the angels above would give you, dad and Giuseppe a hug for me. I can’t. I wish I could, just like you and dad always said, “a parent can take care of a thousand kids but a thousand kids can’t take care of one parent,” so I’ll leave you with the angels until the angels bring me to you. I’ll always miss you Mom. Tu ci la belle Angela de la monde Love Paolo

DR. EDWARD MASATOMO TAKAHASHI O.D., F.A.A.O. July 11, 1930 December 29, 2010

We never dreamed you’d go away. Never thought of sorrow, so sure you’d always be here. We miss you each day - in each memory and thought of the special husband, father, grandfather and friend who meant so much to us and the happiness you brought. Your love will live in our hearts forever.

Love from the Takahashi Family

Best sports quips Best quips of the final half — July through December— of 2013, compiled by columnist Bruce Penton • Golf writer Dan Jenkins on Twitter, as reported on golfworldmonday.com: “Charl has made three bogeys and a double in his last four holes. In South Africa, that’s known as Schwartzeling your pants.” • Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “Tim Tebow signed with the Patriots. ‘Belichick owed me a favor,’ explained Jesus.” • Comedy writer Jim Barach: “The NFL has declined an offer to help promote Obamacare. Apparently the NFL says they don’t want to get involved with something that right now falls in popularity somewhere between the Bengals and Aaron Hernandez.” • Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg, on the Blackhawks’ plans to show off the Stanley Cup. “They would take the Cup to a Chicago Cubs game, but then they would have to explain what a championship is.” • Brad Dickson of the Omaha WorldHerald: “According to reports, David Beckham turned down an offer to try out

BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW for an unnamed NFL team. Considering he’s a 38-year-old man who’s never played the sport, I think we can narrow it down to the Jets and — well, it must’ve been the Jets.” • Dickson: “Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen took their kids to Disneyland. Someone asked Brady if he wanted to see Grumpy and Snow White. His response: ‘Belichick and Tebow are here?’” • Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Canadian curler Matt Dumontelle (the fifth man on Brier winner Brad Jacobs’s rink) has been suspended for two years after testing positive for an anabolic steroid. Suspicions were aroused when he started chucking his stones overhand.” • Steve Rushin in Sports Illustrated: “In New York, John Tortorella was relieved of his coaching duties for being

They fumbled the coffin five yards from the grave.” • Cam Hutchinson of the Saskatoon Express: “I’m guessing photographs of Toronto Maple Leafs championship teams were taken off a wall at Air Canada Centre to be colourized.” • Colin Cowherd of ESPN, on Twitter, about Alex Rodriguez playing in in the minors on a rehab assignment two days prior to his anticipated suspension announcement: “ARod batting second, playing third and pleading the fifth in Trenton tonight.” • Spotted in Mike Bianchi’s column in the Orlando Sentinel: Ex-NFLer E.J.

ALL IN-STOCK MASTECTOMY BRAS

YEAR-END INTERVIEW WITH THE MAYOR

15% OFF

‘I’ve done a very good job’ Peter Milobar is ready to run for re-election in 2014 X From A1

KTW: How does this council compare to others you’ve been part of over the years? MAYOR: This is probably the most diverse group we’ve had, both in ages and the overall demographic, the male-female makeup and, of course, political ideologies. So, it’s probably been the more challenging one to try to manage and try to work with all those personalities and have everyone work together. I think as a group they’ve actually done that exceptionally well. You think of how many close votes we’ve had and then the next topic everyone’s kind of moved on. They’re not throwing barbs at each other or holding grudges because a vote didn’t go their way. I think that shows a lot of strength. KTW: In February, Kamloops RCMP Supt. Yves Lacasse announced he was retiring to work for KGHM Ajax. How does having him at Ajax change the dynamic for that project? MILOBAR: I’ve had very close friends of mine work in my own businesses that I’ve had to say sayonara to as well. I’ve always prided myself on being able to separate the two out. Knowing somebody on a social level, where you’re able to have a conversation or wind up at similar events, I don’t think that’s going to affect anything in the least. Not to mention a) he’s not the one writing the reports and, b) I’m not the one with the final decisions to make whether they get a permit or not. KTW: How is the plan for a new performing-arts centre coming? MILOBAR: It’s one of those projects that will go in fits and spurts. We had a beyondsuccessful public

engagement piece where 200 or so people came out, and we’ve been working with that data they provided us to kind of assemble what would the dream wish be for massing and size and that. But, we’re all busy people and it’s a project we don’t have in the capital plan. So, we’re trying to proceed slowly at this early stage. KTW: As far as the 2014 election goes, are you aware of any serious challengers for mayor? MILOBAR: I haven’t heard any names rumoured. Certainly I’ve let it be known almost from Day 1 that I’d be looking to do another term. I quite enjoy the job. I think I’ve done a very good job. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to foster relationships with senior levels of government, regardless of party, for the betterment of the community and I think we’ve seen that come to full fruition on things like the hospital build. KTW: In the last municipal vote, lastminute candidate Dieter Dudy nearly won the race, to the surprise of many. What did you attribute that to? MILOBAR: I wouldn’t want to hazard a guess. Were people sending a message? Were people upset with other stuff going on? I don’t know. To me, elections are snapshots in time . . . Generally I feel that I get a very good response when I’m out in the community. People seem happy with the job that’s being done by myself and council as a whole. I’m more than willing to keep trying to do the job. KTW: Do you think council’s decision to raise pay next term will have an effect on the election? MILOBAR: We have votes that cost us money

on a weekly basis around this table. This was one of literally hundreds and thousands of votes we’ll do in a three-year term. Is it a topic of interest? Yes, it is. Should it be the defining one in an election? I really hope not, because there’s a lot bigger issues at play. KTW: Was the raise a good decision? MILOBAR: I can understand it. Am I going to sit here and say there’s no logic to saying the mayor should be paid 90 per cent of average? I can understand it. I think the committee did very good work. From my perspective, I just viewed it as we had already done an adjustment back in 2002. We had done a major adjustment and we were doing cost-of-living increases for those 10 years since and I was comfortable continuing on with cost-of-living. Obviously, the majority of council weren’t. That’s a vote I didn’t win. KTW: Most of city council hasn’t taken a stand on the proposed Ajax mine. What do you think that’s going to mean in the upcoming campaign? MILOBAR: Right now we essentially have someone who owns a piece of land who says some day in the future they might like to do a mine. We don’t even know what that looks like because they’ve admitted they’re redesigning the whole thing. For all we know, the markets stay soft, they might not put papers in for five years. So, what does a council in 2013 that’s talking about a mine do with something that might not put paper in until 2018? What relevance is it? KTW: Do you think that’s an argument you can make at election

time in such a way that Ajax isn’t going to dominate debate? MILOBAR: I hope Ajax doesn’t dominate. I hope no one topic dominates because there’s a lot of moving parts to a city. It’s certainly an important piece. It’s one we have to be mindful of. But, again, so you elect a council completely comprised of people that say they’re opposed to Ajax. But, we’ve already seen by recent court cases that the governments are held to a high standard of making sure it’s a science-based decision. So, what does that get you? That gets you a council that says it doesn’t want something they have no authority over saying yes or no to, in a process that the federal and provincial governments still need to apply scientific reasoning to. Does that mean you now have a council that knows how to properly lobby for other projects? That knows how to properly run a budget? That knows how to properly work with senior management to do anything else? Or do you have nine people who are sitting around a table saying no to one project? KTW: What do you see 2014 looking like for city council? MILOBAR: It’ll be much of the same. There’s other cities out there that have boomed and busted and are on a bit of an upswing again. We’ve seen what happened to them from ‘08 to now and Kamloops, what has happened locally has also reflected how we’ve handled ourselves as a local government. It’s not earth shattering, it’s not flashy — it’s getting the job done.

There is more to appreciating visual art than meets the eye. This class will teach Edmund Feldman’s theory of art criticism. It will assist artists and viewers to expand their seeing beyond learned assumptions about art, increase their sensitivity to what the artist may be trying to achieve, and increase the ability to critique from a place of appreciation and objectivity. No previous experience is required, just an open mind. Old Courthouse Jan 15-29 Wed Instructor:

FAITH

Season of making — and breaking — resolutions

OON AFTER Christmas ends comes the annual ritual of making resolutions, with all its accompanying hopes and trepidations, for the year ahead. Many of us make them, or at least feel that we should. And, like the Christmas toys, they are soon broken. Recognizing human frailty, instead of making specific determinative resolutions, it’s better to cling to a general biblical round-theyear imperative which enjoins the believers to keep on walking daily, fixing their eyes on their Lord (Hebrews 12:2). “Fixing” has the idea inherent in it of concentrating one’s gaze. It means to look away from other things so one can focus all his attention on one object. It requires a holy

NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH habit of soul and demands a continuous and sustained action. Like a sailor on rough seas watching the computer screens, it is to make sure that we stay on course. Earlier, the text gives a wonderful motivation when it says Christ is the “author and perfecter of our faith.” This means at least three things: • Jesus has already laid the foundation for our faith by his death and resurrection. By that he made our salvation possible.

• He provided the perfect example to follow in that he trusted God perfectly. Even when he was sorely tempted, he did not give in, but yielded up his human will to the perfect will of his Father. • He gives us the faith we need when we feel like quitting. All true faith comes from him because faith itself is a gift from God. The text in Hebrews reminds the readers that, because of Christ’s example, it is possible for his followers to undertake this daily walk. The master Jesus walked the pathway before us because of “the joy set before him, endured the cross, scorning its shame.” “Cross” and “joy” are contradictory terms. The former speaks of pain, suffering, shame, ridicule, rejection and ultimate public

humiliation. It symbolizes a slow, agonizing death that often lasted several days. There was nothing beautiful or humane about death on a cross. Where is the joy in that kind of death? The answer is there is no joy in death on a cross, but Jesus went to the cross and endured the pain and despised the shame that he might obtain the joy that

would follow. In the above phrase, there is the principle of delayed gratification. We, too, can see this principle at work in our own lives on two different levels: The first level is giving up the good to obtain the best. Many in early days of a new year give up some types of food to lose weight. There is sacrifice involved, but one is for-

feited that a higher one might be achieved. But, there is a higher level of delayed gratification that involves enduring pain to receive a reward. This is why aspiring pianists practise for hours when they might be watching TV, in the hope some day they may play in concert halls. Jesus said, “Follow me” and he went to the cross.

Are we willing to follow him in 2014 by being willing to endure pain and difficulty in order to know the joy of fulfilling God’s will for our lives? As someone has beautifully exhorted believers to walk in the steps of the Master by simplifying the contrasts: “No pain, no gain. No suffering, no glory. No cross, no crown.” Here is good cheer for the New Year: Everything we need we will find in Christ. He has all the hope, all the love, all the grace, all the power, all the forgiveness that we need to keep running the race. Jesus has already run it for us. Let us fix our eyes on him and all will be well. narayanmitra@ hotmail.com

HERE’S A TRAIL OF wrapping and tissue paper that leads from the Christmas tree, up the stairs, and into each room. Wrapping paper, you see, was the cats’ present this year, since they already have every kind of fuzzy mouse and assorted other vermin. They have a jingly octopus and a quacking duck they stole out of a bag of birthday presents intended for a then-two-year-old nephew. They have dozens of plastic springs that zip around the floor (better than any hockey puck being stickhandled in the NHL today), and which disappear beneath the stove at a rate that forces us to sweep places we might otherwise neglect from season to season.

intended to eat more vegetables — and eat more vegetables I did. This year, I’ll be writing fewer food columns — every other week, instead of every week. It wasn’t an intention or, in the end, my own decision (rather, due to cutbacks at another newspaper, and not at Kamloops This Week). But, as we go into next year, it will ripple through my life as both multiple losses and a blessings. After 10 years of weekly columns, I’ll now spend more time with my second book (a first novel) and co-editing a nearlyfinished anthology of food writing by writers of Mennonite descent. Meanwhile, for this last column of the year, I’m pleased to share this recipe for gingerbread.

It’s subtly spiced with a soft, yet sturdy, crumb. I sincerely hope it brings you moments of comfort and joy as the last days of the year flow into the next.

After Season to be Jolly — then what? What causes post-Christmas let-down?

ODAY WE ANSWER A question we received 11 months ago and it’s only now that it seems like the right time to address it: What causes that “let-down” feeling I have right after Christmas and what can I do about it? Many people experience this phenomenon — and you may be one of them. If not, you definitely know others who go through this, either in your family or in your circle of acquaintances. First things first — the “what causes it” part of the question. Many of us anticipate Christmas far in advance of the season and the feeling of anticipation is palpable. There are a million things to do, places to go and events to attend, and there are equally as many reasons to socialize and celebrate. There are gay lights everywhere, people talk about good cheer, food and beverages abound and purse strings open to meet our every desire. Then it ends — abruptly. The mood can be “forced” through to New Year’s Eve and the continued partying involved with that holiday, but that truly does mark the end. Celebrations, good will to men, charity drives, lights and decorations — it’s all over for another year. Worse, there are about three months of winter still to go and the shortest day of the year was just before Christmas. Instead of anticipating the fun and freedom of time off, new gifts, time with loved ones and once-a-year foods and treats, we suddenly have nothing particular to look forward to. We have no list of chores to do, presents to shop for, parties to attend and performances to watch. What we have in place of all of

that are the Christmas bills and perhaps a few extra pounds to lose from over-indulging. But, there is a solution. There are some techniques to nip all of this in the bud and the good news is you need not wait until next year to beat the post-Christmas slump. You see, that “let-down feeling” is not really an emotion. It is a behaviour you choose to do and you can choose to do something else. Some people plan a winter vacation (Mardi Gras is an example), others throw a Super Bowl party and still others plan a skiing weekend or movie-marathon theme weekend. You do not need to be rich in order to come up with something you can look forward to. Remember, all people have four basic psychological needs: To be close to someone, to have fun, to have the freedom to make choices and to have a sense of identity about who they are. Do you notice how our Christmas traditions meet all these needs without trying? No wonder we feel a little let down when these needs suddenly go unmet. So, now you know what causes that post-Christmas slump and you know what to do about it: Actively plan and set out to meet those four psychological needs. The key is finding something to plan or do that you truly look forward to, rather than passively sitting back to wait for winter to end. You can give us your strategies for getting over a Christmas slump or send us your questions to Kamloops@cmha. bc.ca and follow us on Twitter @ CMHAKamloops because we always love to hear from you.
