Death in Interior linked to H1N1 Alberta has recorded nine flu deaths and 1,189 cases linked to the virus By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
An Okanagan woman has died and the death is being attributed to the H1N1 flu. While the Interior Health Authority (IHA) has not released details, citing privacy issues for the family of the woman, some media have been reporting the woman was 59 and died on Dec. 29 in Vernon Jubilee Hospital. It is the first H1N1-related death in the Interior. The death of a Vancouver Island woman last month has also been linked to the flu virus, along with other medical factors. A third death in the Lower Mainland is being investigated for any link to the virus, but there has been no confirmation. IHA medical-health officer Dr. Rob Parker said he expects the peak of flu cases will occur in the next two or three weeks, noting it is those between the ages of 20 and 65 who are getting hit hardest. Parker said the IHA is taking its cues from how the flu has gone through Alberta which, as of Tuesday, Jan. 7, has seen nine deaths and 1,335 confirmed cases of the flu — 1,189 of them the H1N1 virus. Seventy people are in intensive-care units in hospitals, another 218 are in medical wards. Edmonton has 503 cases and Calgary has 437. In the Thompson-Cariboo-Shuswap region, there have been 14 confirmed cases of H1N1, but there are likely many more, the IHA reports. This is because most people will not go to the doctor and prefer to wait
it out and many doctors won’t send patients to be tested. Parker said people die from the flu every year, but noted H1N1-virus cases continue to garner more media attention because of the 2009 outbreak of the virus, which led the World Health Organization to declare it a pandemic. Flu-related deaths usually occur because of secondary infections, pneumonia or heart failure that flow from the presence of the virus, leaving the body weaker and more vulnerable, Parker said. This is particularly true if a chronic condition already exists, which is why those people are included in the category who can get a flu shot for free. He said an indicator of what the impact of the virus will be in B.C. should come soon, now that schools are back in session. Younger children don’t have as much immunity and, if they haven’t received the flu shot regularly, could be more susceptible. Parker said he wouldn’t be surprised to see an outbreak occur within the senior sector, as well, although they represent a population that has likely been exposed to the virus frequently and tend to be more diligent about getting annual flu shots. Parker said getting an annual shot doesn’t provide complete protection. “But, even if you get the shot and you get the flu, the risks are much less. You tend to recover quicker. “I always say getting the flu shot is like putting snow tires on in the winter. You just do it.” More information is available by calling the 811 health line or going online to immunizebc.ca.

Dishing up innovation School district finds creative way to boost bandwith By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
TAPPED OUT Old Man Winter has made his appearance throughout Kamloops. This local business has seen a leaky hose bib turn into an icy waterfall of sorts. That ice will be liquid soon enough as today’s high of 0 C is expected to rise to 9 C by the weekend, making for a mucky immediate future. Dave Eagles/KTW
John Cuzzola and his team of technology experts were faced with a problem — bandwidth. In particular, the information-technology department at School District 73 was struggling with a way to boost Internet bandwidth at 16 schools that wasn’t even at the district’s minimum standards. Nor, said Cuzzola, was it strong enough to keep up with “our 21st-century learning opportunities.” The first hurdle was cost. To deal with a school site, one that can be used by several hundred students daily, the actual cost from the district’s Internet provider ranged from $800 to $1,600 per month, per school, to be upgraded. Add to that the time involved to do all the work, estimated to take from three to six months per school, and the upgrade project was expensive and would take years to complete. “We needed a solution to bypass problem No. 1 and problem No. 2 and we knew we have sites with lots of bandwidth,” Cuzzola said. Urban secondary schools are on a fibre-optic Internet system, a decision the school board made in 2004 when the city was involved in upgrading its own systems to fibre-optics “So, we thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if we could run a wire from, say South Kamloops secondary to Stuart Wood elementary to share bandwidth?’” Cuzzola explained. “Now, obviously we can’t run a physical wire. That’s impossible. But, technology is at a point where we can do this.” All that was needed were some small satellite dishes and clear lines of sight. By the end of last year, 11 of the schools had been given the virtual line, connecting them with schools with more bandwidth than they can use, Cuzzola said. By the end of this school year in June, he hopes to have all but six schools using the system. Those six schools can’t be incorporated due to poor lines of sight. “We can’t beam the signal through trees or people’s living rooms,” Cuzzola said. Those schools will get the Internet-provider upgrades instead. The first schools to be linked were NorKam secondary on Twelfth Street in North Kamloops
This satellite dish is on the rooftop of Twin Rivers Education Centre in Brocklehurst. It points to a receiving dish at Beattie School of the Arts in Sahali. From there, the Beattie dish beams bandwith to a dish atop North Kamloops secondary. The innovative approach by the KamloopsThompson school district’s information-technology department has improved Internet speed at various schools, while realizing serious cost savings.
to Beattie School of the Arts elementary on McGill Road in Sahali and the former George Hilliard elementary on Holt Street in Brocklehurst, now home to Twin Rivers Education Centre. Some of the links are more involved. A dish on the roof of Westsyde secondary on Bebek Road is linked to Pacific Way elementary in Aberdeen and, through a relay, to Arthur Stevenson elementary on Bank Road in Westsyde. Cuzzola said there are several advantages to the system. The small dishes are about $100 each, in U.S. dollars, but they allow the department to cancel some of the servicing at the schools that are piggybacking onto the greater bandwidth sources. Those are savings he can apply to the six schools that will require the more expensive upgrades. Speed has improved to the extent it is now from five to seven times faster than it had been before. There are no monthly maintenance costs associated with the dish linkages. “And the ministry [of education] likes all of that,” Cuzzola said. Next up on the department’s long list of jobs to do is what Cuzzola calls the Starbucks model of Internet provision, where service will be expanded within each school building.

How do I park my car on the street with all this snow? On top of having to shovel your driveway, and having it wreak havoc on your travel plans, snow also creates issues when it comes to parking on city streets. We recognize that piles of snow (windrows) can make parking difficult during the winter months, but please be reminded that City Bylaws and the Motor Vehicle Act prohibit motorists from parking in such a manner that may hinder normal traffic flow. A minimum 6 meters must be provided at all times for the travel portion of a roadway. We want to ensure that two lanes of traffic can flow, and that there is access for emergency vehicles and snow plows. When clearing your driveway, please place the snow onto your property and not out onto the street to help ease the difficulty of parking. On two way streets, please only park on the right-hand side, and vehicle wheels must be within 30 cm of the curb. Thank you for your cooperation. For more information, contact traffic@kamloops.ca.
These two images (taken of Clarke Street and Battle Street, respectively) show how windrows create a narrow travelway.

LOCAL NEWS Notice of Hearing For Permanent Guardianship Order To KELLY DENEAULT
Shooting trial gets underway By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
“He tried to kill me.” That’s what a Kamloops Mountie was told by a man inside the apartment in which a gun was fired last summer, injuring a woman in a neighbouring suite. Trevor Michael Wilvers is facing a total of eight charges stemming from the June 4,
2013, incident that left a 25-year-old woman with a bullet wound in her arm. The 35-year-old’s trial began on Wednesday, Jan. 8, with one witness. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Wayne Chung testified he was one of the first officers to show up at the North Kamloops home after a shots-fired call came in to police. Chung said he opened the home’s front door and
announced his presence by yelling, “Police!” About 30 seconds later, he said, a shirtless man appeared at the top of a flight of stairs and said, “He tried to kill me.” That man, later identified as Trevor Newton, was taken into custody as a precaution, Chung said, noting a woman in the home also came to police. Chung said both peo-
ple identified the shooter as Wilvers — who, they said, had fled the scene in a silver Jeep. Last fall, Wilvers’ trial was delayed when Newton’s story apparently changed. At a hearing in October, court heard Newton was no longer identifying Wilvers as the shooter. At that hearing, defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen called the

Kamloops RCMP’s actions following the shooting “an arrest first, sort out later” investigation. The woman who was struck by the bullet, in a suite below that where the gun was fired, made a full recovery and has since moved with her family to Merritt. Wilvers’ trial is expected to resume next week.

Notice of Hearing For Permanent Guardianship Order To MARCEL COTE
Expensive bong was target of teens’ home invasion A Kamloops teenager is standing trial accused of robbery following an Aberdeen home invasion last spring in which the item sought by a trio of young robbers was an expensive bong. The 17-year-old boy is alleged to have taken part in the April 10, 2013, home invasion with two other youths — both of whom pleaded guilty.
None of them can be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Court heard two of the teenaged robbers were planning their crime on a bus when they were approached by the accused. The two boys did not know the accused, who claimed to know the 16-year-old target, who the boys had been describ-
ing by name. One of the two youths who pleaded guilty took the stand on Wednesday, Jan. 8, as a Crown witness. He said he was owed money by the target, with whom he briefly lived at the target’s mother’s Sifton Place home, and he was happy to have the accused help in the robbery. “I thought one more
body couldn’t hurt — I thought it would be more intimidating.” The boys entered the home using a hidden key and told the target, who was home alone, to wait in his mom’s room. They then rifled through his belongings and found the dismantled

Deflation in November Consumer-price index slips into negative territory B.C.’s consumer price index slipped into negative territory in November, partly due the repeal of the harmonized sales tax last spring. The price index in Vancouver was up slightly, but deflation in Victoria and other areas of the province produced a provincial average of -0.2 per cent for the month. Canada-wide, inflation was 0.9 per cent. The cost of restaurant food fell 4.4 per cent in November compared to the same month in 2012, Statistics Canada reported. The provincial average cost of health and per-

There were average price increases in food purchased from stores, up 1.1 per cent, clothing up 1.3 per cent, transportation up 0.7 per cent and alcohol and tobacco products, up 1.7 per cent. Average rent costs were up 1.0 per cent, but overall shelter cost was down 0.7 per cent, continuing a decline since mid-2012.
down 282 people from the second quarter. B.C.’s total population increase over the 12 months ending Oct. 1 was 47,496 people, mainly due to international immigration, which saw a net gain of 35,282 people. Natural growth (births minus deaths) accounted for 11,214 of the total.
Housing market upswing predicted
Pot-law challenger back in court
The B.C. housing market will see slow but steady growth over the next three years, according to a forecast by Central 1 Credit Union. The trade association for B.C. and Ontario credit unions predicts the number of sales will rise about seven per cent to 72,500 in 2014, and reach 84,000 by 2016. The median resale price is forecast to increase 1.5 per cent in 2014, 2.5 per cent in 2015 and three per cent in 2016. New home sales are expected to rebound by about 30 per cent in 2014, but remain at a low level of 15,500 units sold, said Central 1 economist Brian Yu. New construction in the Lower Mainland Southwest region is expected to decline slightly due to high inventory, while housing starts are forecast to rise in most other areas of the province.

B.C. population reaches 4.6 million B.C.’s population grew by 24,000 in the third quarter of 2013, reaching 4,606,375. It’s the largest population increase for that quarter since 1996. The increase was mainly a result of 15,477 nonpermanent residents, which Statistics Canada warns are a volatile component of population measurement. Northern B.C. communities are dealing with what they call “ghost populations,” with thousands of workers flying in and out of industrial camps, putting pressure on local services without contributing to communities. Interprovincial migration figures showed the seventh consecutive quarter of net loss for B.C.,

Not very neighbourly Brocklehurst dispute lands in court — yet again By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
If good fences make good neighbours, what does a small, temporary plastic divider make? In the case of Mary Onufreychuk and Lynn Burgess — next-door neighbours on Ryan Place in Brocklehurst — it makes for alleged trouble. Onufreychuk, 36, was acquitted in Kamloops provincial court on Wednesday, Jan. 8, on charges of theft and assault after an incident last spring in which she was alleged to have tackled Burgess, 51, after destroying her neighbour’s plastic property-line border. Burgess said she was tarring her driveway on March 31, 2013, when Onufreychuk, her boyfriend and their four kids arrived home after a day on the slopes at Sun Peaks. “She [Onufreychuk] was just basically really mad at a lot of things to do with her kids,” Burgess said. “She yelled at them to get out of her hair.” Court heard Onufreychuk then approached Burgess and confronted her about plastic borders she had placed in the ground marking the property line — a line that had been contested in the past. “She [Onufreychuk] said, ‘I’m going to rip
these goddamn things out,’” Burgess said. “She’s swearing at me and she’s telling me what I can do with this edging.” Burgess said Onufreychuk pulled the borders out of the ground and threw them onto her own property. That, court heard, is when things became physical. “She charges me and squarely hits me on my shoulders,” Burgess said. “She shoves me into the ground.” Taking the stand in her own defence, Onufreychuk said she has never even spoken to Burgess, let alone cussed her out and tackled her. Onufreychuk said she and her boyfriend, Randy Pattie, did return home that day to find some tar on their property and they began cleaning it up. She said Burgess called the police at some point and Mounties arrived a short time later. According to Onufreychuk, Burgess has, in the past, videotaped her while she was in her yard. According to court records, Burgess has been convicted twice on charges stemming from confrontations with Onufreychuk — for fear of injury in 2009 and for breach in 2010.

Help Tina help others find safety, comfort on the couch
T
INA LANGE TURNS 60 today (Jan. 9). Normally, this would mean little more than an email exchange between the two of us because, beyond admiring her for what she has accomplished, I consider Tina a friend. She’s marking the occasion in an interesting couple of ways. First, she and fellow councillor Ken Christian, who is also celebrating a birthday this month (one that has him about 10 days younger than Tina) will be singing the national anthem at the Kamloops Blazers game on Jan. 22. The other is typical Tina. She’s sharing her birthday with the city through this column because she wants to give her own special gift to mark the occasion. She wants money. As she put it in her email to me, she wants “lots of money — enough to buy a new leather couch and love seat for the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter because it is No. 3 on their wish list. I think No. 1 and No. 2 were a house and a car and that seemed a bit daunting. Maybe when I turn 90.” Why is Tina doing this? For a lot of reasons. The personal one is best again put in Tina’s words: “One of my favourite charities is the Y women’s shelter because I am a woman, because it is upsetting to me that women are abused as much today as they were 50 years ago, because I used to work for the Y and because, for five years, I lived next door to the shelter and saw first-hand how busy they were.” Michelle Walker, the Y’s director of violence against women intervention and support services, said the couch is
DALE BASS Street
LEVEL one of the first places women and their children fleeing abuse collapse onto — bewildered, scared, lost, but safe. The current one, donated years ago, is a fabric-based couch that has absorbed dirt and vomit and tears and snot from crying children. It can’t be cleaned any more. It has to go. Leather is better, Walker said, because it is sturdier and can handle frequent washings. It’s easier to keep sanitary, something that is being driven home now as women and children arrive who might be carrying a flu virus. The statistics make the point. Figures for last year are still being tabulated, but Michelle said they sheltered more women and children in 2013 than they did in 2012, when they welcomed 202 women and 100 children for 5,823 nights. The first half of 2013 saw 115 women and 65 children spend 2,400 nights in the shelter. Most days, there are between 15 and 23 women and children trying to put their lives together with shelter support every day. The other reality: The shelter exists strictly on donations and annually runs
on a deficit that can hit six figures. It needs the community it serves to keep it alive. The councillor side of Tina celebrates the fact her peers agreed to fund an RCMP officer dedicated to addressing domestic violence. The woman side of Tina wishes it didn’t have to be that way. But, the community side of Tina saw an opportunity to involve other Kamloopsians in her quest, even if they just donate $1, so they can be part of something bigger that is needed in the city. She has partnered with Sid Kandola at City Furniture in the project and they will figure it all out once the campaign is complete. The Y has built a website that should be up and running today. You can find it at kamloopsy.org. Or, if you want, donations can be taken to the Y’s Battle Street office. Make sure you make it clear in a note or on the memo line of a cheque the money is for Tina’s Couch Campaign. The last words have to go to Tina. “Why am I doing this? I just want to get the word out about this. “Someone told me once they thought the food bank should be funded by government and I told them no, because people should support each other and feel good about giving. “That’s why I’m doing this for my birthday. I want people to feel good about giving and I want the women and children who end up at the shelter to be able to sit down and feel comfortable, feel warm, feel safe.” dale@kamloopsthisweek.com kamloopsstreetlevl.tumblr.com
Following all the joy and cheer of the holidays, January can be one of the darkest months of the year. Take Monday, for example. Many of us just returned to a full work week, getting up in the dark and leaving work in the dark — all in frigid temperatures. That’s why they call it Blue Monday. That’s right, this past Monday, Jan. 6, was supposedly the most depressing day of the year, according to UK researchers who studies more than two-million tweets on Twitter during the past three years. Along with all the snow and cold, there’s not much to look forward to for many of us in January. There is no holiday until Family Day next month, which is relatively new to us British Columbians. Being winter, we also don’t get enough vitamin D, something Canadians lack between October and May, when sunshine doesn’t come out too often. But, there is a lot we can take advantage of to keep our spirits high. Getting active is one of the easiest ways to boost your mood and energy. The options around Kamloops are endless — whether it’s winter, summer, spring or fall. Take a splash in the pool at the Y, TCC or Westsyde, hit the slopes at Sun Peaks or Harper, lace up your skates at the many outdoor rinks or ponds, bundle up for an outdoor snowman-making contest with the kids or just take an invigorating hike into Kenna Cartwright Park. Perhaps your brain is feeling a little fuzzy following the holidays. If so, there are a number of classes to keep you educated. The best way to beat the winter blues is to get active, whether physically or mentally, so be pro-active and go for it.

Beattie students know importance of Art-4-Fun
L
AST MONTH, I had the privilege of visiting the Art-4-Fun program at the secondary campus of Beattie School of the Arts. I witnessed committed, energized high-school students leading elementaryaged children in two different explorations of the arts. Art-4-Fun is the result of some very inspiring, arts-enthusiastic high-school students attending Beattie School of the Arts. Art-4-Fun involves high-school students providing arts-based after-school programming to elementary students from Beattie and Stuart Wood elementary schools. It is the brainchild
MEGHAN WADE View from the SCHOOL BOARD of Beattie’s secondary leadership students. The idea was brought to fruition with assistance from Sherry Stade, the Kamloops-Thompson school district’s healthy schools coordinator, along with grants from the 2010 Legacy Fund and DASH BC. Grant money covers the cost of adults to supervise transportation of younger students, provides
support to the student leaders and pays for the cost of materials. The program is led by 16 Beattie secondary students who attended High Five Child Development Training last June in preparation for the Oct. 2 kickoff. This school year, Art-4-Fun will have four sessions. In each session, elementary students receive instruction in two areas of the arts. October was guitar and drama. November was hiphop dance and drawing and painting. February will be jazz dance and ceramics and sculpture. April will be vocals and drama. If providing arts education to younger students wasn’t
enough, the greatest aspect of this program is the drive and passion of the student leaders. They are responsible for creating lesson plans, teaching the program and supervising younger artists. These teens love sharing their passion for the arts. They gain skills of mentorship through sharing what they love to do. Having had the opportunity to watch them in action and hear them speak about the experience, I was extremely impressed with the maturity and poise of these individuals. The program has helped secondary and elementary students build confidence and mentoring skills
within an enjoyable environment. Younger students have built connections through the arts that will impact their transition to high school. For student leaders, the transition out of public school into further education and work will be enhanced by this arts-program experience. Congratulations to the group at Beattie for taking an idea and having the courage to make it a reality. I look forward to visiting another session in the New Year.

Photo of the year raises questions about process Editor: Re: Photos of the year in the Dec. 26 edition, and the picture showing Yves Lacasse of KGHM Ajax hugging Kamloops-North Thompson Liberal MLA on election night. While this may be your pick for one of the photos of the year, the cutline is totally misleading and does not explain the significance. What was controversial about the photo was that Lake was environment minister at the time and, as such, was supposed to be neutral on the Ajax-mine issue until the environmental assessment was complete. Lacasse is in charge of external affairs for KGHM Ajax.

TRU says Accolades not closing
Authorized Dealer For . . . Authorize
Award-winning restaurant is, however, under a review By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Accolades may not be closing, but the university is continuing to analyze ways to keep the award-winning restaurant open. Christopher Seguin, assistant vice-president advancement for Thompson Rivers University, said confirmation provided last month by culinary-arts staff of the closure was “based on wrong assumptions.” Ed Walker, an instructor in the culinary-arts faculty, confirmed the impending shutdown, stating in an email to KTW last month it was “simply a budgetary decision.” The student-run restaurant, which
has a focus on local, regional and sustainable food sources, has provided students with a practical way to learn the skills taught in the classroom. Seguin said a review continues to find ways to make it more streamlined, “to do more with less.” A press release from the university said it is still reviewing options retailed to its culinary-arts program and the restaurant — which has been recognized as one of the best in the country — with the aim being to have “an alternative plan in place by the fall semester of 2014.” The release noted any changes to the program will still accommodate the needs of students in
the professional cook stream “to ensure students secure the most effective training to meet the educational goals.” Accolades has received recognition from Where to Eat in Canada, an independent national restaurant guide. Jason Brown, president of the university faculty association, earlier this year told the province’s select standing committee on finance and government services the culinary-arts department was at risk of some program closures. “TRU has had a long tradition of connecting to the community through our culinary arts, meat-cutting and horticultural programs,”
he told the committee in September when it met in Kamloops. “We have a restaurant on campus that’s known very well across the province and it’s won some awards, even nationally, for the type of service and food that they put out.
Trollbeads.
“Yet faculty in these programs — despite losses of tenured colleagues through retirements, injuries and deaths due to illness — are being told to get the job done without tenured replacement or risk closure of the programs.”

Law school has $1.7-million deficit But, university says, shortfall was anticipated By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
The fact the new school of law at Thompson Rivers University is carrying a $1.7-million deficit is not a surprise to the institution’s financial head. In fact, Matt Milovick said, it was anticipated. The vice-president finance said the only glitch is the business plan that would have seen the deficit repaid within five years was a bit off and it may take a couple of more years for the faculty to become sustainable financially and repay the deficit.
City contract with union expires
The law school receives no government money, he said, but is financed through tuition and, because of that, TRU administrators knew the first few years would be difficult. As for the issue of market differentials — amounts outside the union contract that are paid to law faculty — Milovick said many people don’t understand why TRU has done this. He said the top-ups aren’t to compensate for what the professors could still be making in a law practice, but to compete with other law schools in the country and attract top-quality lawyers to
join the faculty. “This is a hard talent to acquire,” he said.” Milovick said the university’s financial state is “very solid,” but will probably end its fiscal year with a small deficit. That’s an issue for TRU, he said, because “our books roll up to government books and the government doesn’t like a deficit on its books.” The university is in a good situation cash-wise, he said, and its quarterly report for the period ending Sept. 30 showed reserves of $965,000, with an annual projected reserve total of $1.9 million.
The city’s contract with its CUPE 900 staff members has expired. The three-year contract, which covers nearly 500 unionized workers with the city, expired on Dec. 31. Negotiations on a new deal began in November, but city CAO David
Several faculties are predicted to run in the red through to the March 31 fiscal year-end, including science ($379,258), law ($623,835), the Williams Lake campus ($235,049) and the trades and technology ($192,992). As for concerns some of the skills-dominated areas of study, like culinary arts, horticulture and meat-cutting, are being targeted for change, Milovick said the simple reality is all departments at TRU are being asked to do more with less. “We are looking across the board at efficiencies,” he said. “No one’s got a target on their back.”
Trawin said the Christmas holidays put talks on hold and senior managers involved in negotiations were spending the first full week of 2014 conducting interviews as the city seeks to replace former public works director Tracy Kyle.

Askim, dog shot by Mountie, now back home By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Askim, the dog shot by an RCMP officer on Christmas Eve, is home again. Jon Wilson, the city’s communitysafety and enforcement manager, had maintained throughout the saga, which drew media attention, that the dog, a Labrador-pit bull cross, was never in danger of being euthanized despite it being taken into custody by the city’s bylaws officers. The dog was held in the city impound, recovering from injuries it sustained after an officer responding to a call at a North Kamloops home shot Askim at point-blank range when the dog, restrained by someone else in the house, ran toward the officer. Wilson said the city was following all the requirements of its dog-responsibility bylaw, which mandates dogs seized by the city must be held for a minimum 96 hours. Wilson said the
bylaw is a safeguard for owners so they can respond to the situation. However, Wilson added, dogs can be held longer while the investigation continues. Wilson said Askim has no history of aggression registered with his department. Part of the delay in returning the dog to its registered owner, Debra Milenk, came from a delay in getting all statements together. Wilson said while he received statements from the officers and witnesses, he didn’t get one from Milenk until recently. Milenk said she tried to deliver a statement to Wilson, but he was not in his office when she went there. Milenk was concerned about all aspects of the situation, from the way police handled the call for assistance to how her daughter was forced to the floor and was handcuffed. She said Askim was trying to come to his owner’s rescue at the time, but had been restrained. She accused the

Mountie of overreacting when the dog lunged at him, questioning why he used his gun rather than pepper spray, or why he simply did not move away. Milenk was also upset Askim was not taken for treatment for about three hours, even though she offered to drive the dog to a vet. Milenk said the dog could not be moved until a bylaws officer arrived. Wilson said the delay in getting treatment for the dog after
it was shot was a result of timing. The call from police came afterhours on Christmas Eve and a bylaws officer had to be called and given the details. The bylaws officer had to then go to the impound to get an equipped city vehicle and get to the site on Kimberley Crescent. A veterinarian had to be located and called in. “And this all takes some time,” Wilson said. The dog was treated at Riverside Small
The city’s bylaw does not state a dog must be released after 96 hours, but that it must be held that long to allow for the owner to reclaim it and pay any fines or fees incurred. The province’s Community Charter requires municipalities to conduct full investigations of any bylaws infraction and this can
also lead to a longer impound, Wilson said. Wilson said Milenk will be required to reimburse the city for the vet fees it paid and he will make a decision on impound fees when the investigation is complete. Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said no further statements about the matter would be given to the media.

MONEY MATTERS
RRSP? TFSA? RESP? Which is right for you?
W
HEN it’s time to decide which mix of savings vehicles is right for you, your options can start looking like a hearty bowl of alphabet soup. There are Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs), Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) and
could claim a deduction for their contributions and then defer tax on withdrawals until retirement. The introduction of TFSAs has provided another powerful savings vehicle that allows investment growth to accumulate and be withdrawn at any time tax- free. Unlike an RRSP, you cannot claim a tax
If you have children or grandchildren, RESPs are another popular option. The subscriber (or contributor) makes contributions on behalf of a beneficiary (the child). The contributions are not deductible or taxable on withdrawal. The growth is taxdeferred until withdrawal, at which time it can be taxed in the beneficiary’s hands if he or she enrolls in a qualifying educational program. Contributions to a child’s RESP qualify for the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG)1 and, if your family’s income is below certain thresholds, you may also qualify for the Canada Learning Bond (CLB).
THE RETIREMENT DILEMMA
Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs). Determining which savings plan, or combination of savings plans, is best depends on your personal situation and your objectives. Until 2009, most Canadians held their retirement savings in an RRSP, where they
deduction for the contributions you make to a TFSA. On the plus side, if you need to withdraw money from your TFSA, you have an opportunity to replace that money because all TFSA withdrawals are added back to your unused contribution room in the following year.
If you are saving for retirement, then you may be torn between an RRSP and a TFSA. Ideally, you would maximize contributions to both, but if that’s not an option here are some thoughts to consider. Whether the best choice is to save in an RRSP or a TFSA depends on your savings needs, as well as your current and expected future financial situation and income level. Generally, an RRSP is used for saving for retirement, while a TFSA can be used for both saving for retirement and other shorterterm purchases. Because TFSA withdrawals are added back to your available TFSA contribution room in the following year, there is very little downside to using your TFSA savings for mid-sized to large purchases. If you are in a low tax bracket, saving in a TFSA may be more advantageous than saving in an RRSP
since TFSA withdrawals have no impact on federal income-tested benefits and credits such as child tax benefits and Old Age Security. On the other hand, RRSPs may be a better option if your tax rate at the time you contribute is higher than it will be when you withdraw your savings. You’ll benefit from a tax deduction when you make your contribution and withdrawals will be taxed at your lower future rate. If the reverse is true, a TFSA can provide better results. Contributions to an RESP for a child under the age of 18 qualify for the CESG, which pays 20 per cent of the annual contributions you make, up to a maximum of $500 per year, per beneficiary (or a maximum of $1,000 if there is unused grant room from a previous year), to a lifetime limit of $7,200. You may be entitled to an enhanced CESG if your family’s income is below certain thresholds.
EDUCATION SAVINGS CHOICES If you are saving for your child’s education, then you are probably weighing the pros and cons of an RESP or a TFSA. For children under age 18, RESPs are the preferred savings vehicle because of the CESG. For children over age 18, the CESG no longer applies so you may want to help them start their own TFSAs. If you want to maintain control over the funds, then you could save for their education in your own TFSA instead. Contributed by David Page of D.W. Page Wealth Management Ltd.

Study says province’s grizzlies worth more alive By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS tfletcher@blackpress.ca
B.C.’s Coastal First Nations are quick to endorse a new U.S. study of the value of bear viewing in their traditional territories. Kitasoo/Xai’xais Coun. Doug Neasloss said the study by the Washington D.C.-based Centre for Responsible Travel supports what the northwest coast aboriginal communities have been saying for years: “Bears are worth more alive than they are dead.” The study calculated that, in 2012, bear viewing in what is now popularly known as the Great Bear Rainforest generated 12 times the visitor revenue as bear hunting. It counts 510 people employed in bear viewing companies compared to 12 jobs in
guided hunting. The study is the latest salvo in a battle over trophy hunting in B.C. In November, the province proposed to expand its traditional grizzly hunt to include Cariboo and Kootenay regions that were previously closed due to population concerns. The Coastal First Nations, which includes Haida, Heiltsuk and seven other North Coast communities, has asserted its unresolved treaty rights in logging and pipeline protests, as well as in opposing bear hunting. In 2012, the group announced a ban on trophy hunting for bears in its territories. The province has continued to issue “harvesting” permits, including one wellpublicized trophy shot by NHL player Clayton
MARIE GILROY
Stoner in May 2013, who took only the head and paws. The U.S. study, funded by Tides Canada and Nature Conservancy USA, suggested B.C. has overstated the value of its guide-outfitter business to remote economies. The province tracks wildlife populations and records humanrelated deaths, including vehicle accidents and “conflict kills,” where ranchers or conservation officers shoot bears to protect homes or livestock. The U.S. study reports there were 74 grizzly hunters from outside B.C. in 2012, 80 per cent of them from the U.S. From 1976 to 2009, the province issued hunting permits for an average of 297 grizzly bears a year.

Frankie was an amazing woman – she did so many things well around the home and set a shining example of how to be a good person. She was a fabulous cook; she created the best pickles ever and could make anything out of fabric or wool! Crosswords and reading were her daily ‘passions; consequently she was up to date on current affairs. She was our role model in her quest to take care of her body and mind and worked hard to stay fit and active. After spending her early years of marriage at home raising our family, her primary activity became golf. She joined Dad on the links and became an excellent golfer! She enjoyed the fairways and greens at the Kamloops Golf and Country Club as well as spending many a winter golfing down south. Family was always important to mom and when she was not golfing she was a sought after babysitter for her grandchildren. She taught us to treat others with respect, to care for others and take care of our own health to lead a happy life! She and dad lived this way and set a great example for us all as they recently celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary.

Survey the Storm It might be far-fetched to suppose the Kamloops Storm can improve on a 13-goal performance, but the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League squad will give it a shot this weekend. Kamloops, coming off a 13-3 drubbing of the hometown Revelstoke Grizzlies on Jan. 3, is hosting a pair of games at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. On Saturday, Jan. 11, the Kimberley Dynamiters are in town, with game time set for 7 p.m. The Storm square off with the Sicamous Eagles at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 12.
Behold the Blazers The road-weary Kamloops Blazers will play a pair of Western Hockey League tilts this weekend. Kamloops, in its fifth consecutive away game, is playing the hometown Spokane Chiefs on Friday, Jan. 10, before bussing home to the Tournament Capital to lock horns with the Prince George Cougars on Saturday, Jan. 11. The Blazers were last in action on Tuesday, Jan. 7, when they fell 2-1 to the hometown Tri-City Americans. Kamloops sits last in the Western Conference with a record of 10-28-2-2.

Little Boss boasts big talent By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
F
OR NOW, it appears Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) announcer Bruce Buffer will not get the chance to call the Little Boss’s name. That moniker, awarded to him by his Kamloops Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (KBJJ) clubmates, belongs to 14-year-old South Kamloops secondary student Liam Moss, who earned 28 gold medals in 2013, winning titles in Alberta, B.C., Washington State,
Oregon and California. “I like to watch it [UFC] and maybe I’ll train it when I’m a bit older, but I wouldn’t want to compete in it just due to all the injury involved,” said Liam, who has already been invited to train at several well-known MMA gyms. Liam was beside his father, Randy, when the father-and-son combination were being interviewed by KTW. “I admire the MMA athletes and I too am a big fan and we’ve met a lot of big names in MMA, but I’m kind of hoping he sticks with the grappling for the
same reason that we see football players getting into trouble with those repeated head blows,” Randy said. “There’s a cost to it.” Liam has become a grappling expert and it’s in that discipline where there might be a future career, should he remain stalwart in his decision to avoid the bright lights of the UFC or other similar fighting promotions. “I’d like to continue to study and attend training camps from leaders in the sport, locally, provincially, nationally and internationally,” the Grade 9 student said.
“I want to compete all around the world, like Europe and Asia, and develop credentials to teach, become a coach and support others with a positive lifestyle.” There is a premium put on discipline diversity among today’s UFC stars, with many of the sport’s best competitors being well-versed in jiu-jitsu, grappling, kickboxing, Muay Thai and other fighting styles. “I can see him in the future being an authority where people would be coming to him to add the grappling into their game,”

TRU’s basketball teams will be on the road to start the post-Christmas Canada West schedule. Regina is hosting the WolfPack today (Jan. 9) and Brandon welcomes TRU on Friday.

said Randy, a former judoka. “It’s always a possibility [that Liam decides to go the UFC route] and I’ll support him in whatever way I can, but I think his goals are probably to be that excellent top-level grappler, as opposed to being someone that crosses over.” Randy might want to sit Liam in front of a TV and play on a loop Anderson Silva’s gruesome shin-shattering injury, which occurred at UFC 168 in Las Vegas on Dec. 28.

Bigham wins national title with Butte, thanks Graham By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Jacob Bigham’s words will likely be music to Todd Graham’s ears. “He was my coach and he pretty much is the reason why I’m at Butte,” said Bigham, who recently won national and state junior college football championships with the Butte College Roadrunners of Oroville, Calif. “He trained me and taught me just about everything I know about working out and football.” Nevermind music, those words should sound like the most beautiful symphony to any mentor, including the NorKam Saints’
bench boss, who is now without a team to coach with the North Shore school having lost its football program in the re-shuffling of School District 73. In his Grade 10 season, Bigham, a 6-foot-2, 280-pound offensive lineman, came to Graham and announced his desire to play football professionally. “I told him he’d better not miss a day,” Graham said. “If I find myself standing here in the weight room by myself, then I’m not going to coach him anymore. “He never missed a day.” Graham, a former Roadrunner himself, drove Bigham to Butte for a training camp when his prized
hog was still in Grade 11. Bigham graduated from NorKam and tried out for the Roadrunners before the 2012 season. He cracked the practice squad and red-shirted throughout the campaign. In 2013, he started all 12 regular-season games playing right guard on an offensive line that helped block the Roadrunners to a 28-13 victory over Fullerton College in the state championship tilt on Dec. 14 in front of about 3,000 fans at Cowan Stadium in Butte Valley. “Both sides of the field were packed and both end zones, too,” Bigham said. “It was cool.” Offensive lineman Jacob Bigham and his fellow hogs helped pave the way to a co-national The state champs championship victory for the Butte Roadrunners of Oroville, Calif.

KMBA product wins scholarship Steven Rintoul, a Kamloops Minor Baseball Association product, has been awarded a $500 scholarship from the B.C. Minor Baseball Association (BCMBA). The former Kamloops RiverDog, now a member of the McGill University Redmen of Montreal, is the second Rintoul to receive the award, given to BCMBA graduating players who achieve at least a B average and demonstrate good citizenship, personality and leadership in a nonplaying capacity. Rintoul’s older brother, Colin, earned the scholarship in 2012. Four graduating Kamloops RiverDogs have won the money. The younger Rintoul played catcher and third baseman with the Dogs, winning a provincial title in 2011, before cracking the Redmen’s starting roster in his freshman campaign.

Rescued skiers not required to pay Sun Peaks, instead asked to educate public Sun Peaks Resort will not be seeking repayment from skiers and snowboarders who needed to be rescued during the holiday period last month. The resort has a policy to recover its costs if it has to use resources in a search outside its
ski-area boundaries. Sun Peaks general manager Darcy Alexander said the skiers and snowboarders will be asked to use what happened to them to help educate the public on the risks of ignoring the boundaries and being unprepared.
Alexander is hopeful those rescued will also make donations to Kamloops Search and Rescue (KSR), which handled the bulk of the searches. KSR is a volunteer group and its spokesman, Alan Hobler, already said its members do not believe in
charging people to be rescued. During the Christmas period, KSR was involved in a search for a trio of 14-year-olds that had gone missing, locating them in an area rated high for avalanche. KSR also found two sisters who had
Moss homes in on jiu-jitsu world championships X From A17
The rolling Moss duo gathered momentum in 2013, emptying gas tanks — and Randy’s wallet — on trips across North America. Travelling across the continent to attend tournaments allowed Liam to meet Anderson Silva and several other highprofile fighters, including Kenny Florian and Vanderlei Silva. There is plenty of good competition locally and across the country, but there is no place better to find recognition — and the best competition — than in California.
“It’s the epicentre,� Randy said. “A lot of the Brazilians, the guys who were instrumental in exporting mixed martial arts out of Brazil 20-plus years ago, they settled in California. “There’s a substantial investment in time and finances, but for Liam to be able to compete at this level, it’s necessary to go to the bigger metropolitan areas.� Randy and Liam have also frequented Dallas, Tex., in years past. Next up for Liam are the Pan American Kids Jiu-Jitsu Championships at California State University in Carson on Feb. 16.
He and Randy will then saddle up and head to Montreal for a World Jiu-Jitsu Championships qualifying tournament in Montreal on Feb. 22. Should Moss win in La Belle Province, he would be in line for an all-expenses paid trip to the world championships, which run from April 16 to April 19 in Abu Dhabi. Liam honed his craft at KBJJ, Aberdeen Judo Academy and the North Kamloops, South Kamloops and Valleyview secondary school wrestling clubs. Anyone who helped the Little Boss along the way will be paying close attention in 2014.

Chart-topping family country trio to play ISC By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
A
T A FAMILY dinner a few months ago, Neil, Reid and Kimberly Perry tried to talk about anything but music. “We couldn’t do it,” Neil said. “We were sitting there in silence, so we talked music.” It’s what the Tennessee-born siblings — country fans know them as The Band Perry — have been doing for 15 years and it’s as much a part of their everyday lives as is eating. Success hit the siblings in a big way in the last few years with their first single, Hip to My Heart, released in August, and their self-titled EP, released the next year and containing songs like If I Die Young, You Lie and All Your Life — all of which were at the top of country-music charts. The album, produced by Nathan Chapman (best known for his work with Taylor Swift), was recorded in Nashville,
a city Chapman said is different from other places for musicians to record, describing it to Music Radar’s website as “a real family town.” Neil and Reid agreed. “It’s very blue collar there, where people go to regular jobs — musician or writer, it’s your job,” Reid said. “You go to work, you see the same people. You’re in competition with them, but you’re also celebrating their successes.” Neil said part of recording country songs in Nashville is listening to all the stories being told, through music, by other performers. “That’s something the three of us are trying to bring to our music in real-life stories.” The band’s most recent release, Pioneer, contains more of those stories, songs like Mother Like Mine, inspired by the siblings’ mom, or Back To Me Without You, written at a time when Kimberly was experiencing some relationship issues. “We were there in
NEWS FLASH! NorKam Secondary is continuing to show positive growth as an International Baccalaureate World School. We are now in the process of accepting applicants for September 2014 school year. IB World Schools share a common thread - a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that NorKam believes is important to students. These principles combined with an innovative curriculum that encourages excellence, creativity and exploration make IB the gold standard in education around the world. If your child is currently in grade 9, NorKam is offering five grade 10 Honours/ Foundations courses: English 10, Math 10, Social Studies 10, Science 10 and French 10, as a stepping stone into the two year IB diploma programme. We encourage students to enroll in grade 10 in order to transition smoothly into the IB program in their grade 11 year.

the back, telling her to get back to what you do,” Reid said. They’re on tour to promote Pioneer and kick it off today (Thursday, Jan. 9) in Penticton, heading to Kamloops for a show on Saturday, Jan. 10, at Interior Savings Centre. There’s a reason the band chose Canada to start the tour, Reid said. “Canada’s always supported us,” he said. “We came here years ago with Keith Urban
and it was great and we wanted to show it [the show] first.” It’s not classic country, but music with a rock-and-roll edge, Neil said. “We grew up listening to Queen and Patsy Cline.” The trio went to Rick Rubin, known more for working with rockers than country artists, to help with their sound, and now refer to Rubin as their song doctor.

Weeks vows to battle back against cookie kryptonite By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Sabrina Weeks is pretty sure Cookie Monster is a relative. How else, the Kamloops singer asked, can she explain her addiction to cookies — treats she calls her “kryptonite?� However, unlike many who made losing weight and getting fit their New Year’s resolution, when Weeks adopted it, she added a twist. She’s encouraging people to pledge money based on the number of pounds she will lose this year as she follows a three-point program at Kamloops Fit Centre. Weeks, lead singer for Sabrina Weeks and Swing Cat Bounce, wants to lose 80 pounds this year, a goal she said is attainable, but she
wants to feel accountable for this determination, to set a reason beyond her own health and fitness to encourage her to get through it. She chose the Breast Cancer Society of Canada because, she said, this journey really had its beginnings when she was diagnosed with the disease in 2011. At first, Weeks lost weight but, between the chemotherapy and the steroids she was prescribed, she eventually hit the 248.5 pounds that registered on her scales as 2014 arrived. Hormone therapy she required put her body into an early menopausal state. “And, things I had done before to lose weight, nothing worked,� Weeks said. “I worked really hard and just lost eight pounds and I’d get frustrated and put it back on.�
Gaining weight is difficult for her, Weeks said, joking “I can gain weight just by thinking about it. It’s very frustrating.� She’s signed for the the fitness centre’s Biggest Loser program and what owner Mikkie Nettles calls the triangle of success — cardio, weight and diet, although she said she prefers to use the term “food plan� over “diet� because her clients are given just that, a plan to eat better. Weeks plans to hit the exercise machines at the Notre Dame Road centre at least four times a week and will be writing a blog tracking her progress. KTW plans to follow her project and update readers on how she is doing. The blog and a link on the fundraiser can be found at sabrinaweeks.

com, where, under the weight-loss tab, there is a link to a cancersociety portal created for her for people to pledge donations based on pounds lost. “I’m coming forward with this really obscene weight,� she said, “because I hope it gives others the nerve to come forward and be proud and say ‘This is who I am and this is what I’m doing about it.’�
She’s also aware of a potential link between weight and cancer recurrence, making the project deeply personal for her, as well. In the meantime, when it was time to meet with Nettles to talk about food, Weeks brought her husband, Mike Hilliard, along with her. “I wanted him to know about cookies,� she said. “No more cookies.�

WEEKLY HOROSCOPE ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may have to work a little harder to get what you want, but the results will be worth it. Focus your attention on making a name for yourself in the business sector.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may need to concede to a difference of opinion this week when you simply cannot resolve something amicably. Redirect attention on a craft or pastime.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 There is no stopping you when you have a goal in mind, Taurus. Although you may be ambitious, just be mindful of other people in your path as you go.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, sometimes you tend to be brutally honest with others. While honesty is an admirable trait, this week you may need to censor what you say to avoid hurt feelings.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Be honest with your feelings this week, Gemini. Someone close to you is interested in learning more about the way you operate. This could strengthen a friendship.
Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9. Each number can appear only once in each row, column, and 3x3 block. Use logic and process of elimination to solve the puzzle.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Don’t bite off more than you can chew, Cancer. Otherwise you could be left with a long to-do list and not enough energy to get the job done. Consider paring down tasks. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, although you may have rest and recreation on the brain, celestial forces are pushing you in the opposite direction. Busy days are ahead, so rest later.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Taking a circuitous route will land you at the finish a little behind others, Capricorn. But you will get to the end nevertheless. Trust your instincts with this one. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you probably won’t be able to rest your mind until you square away all of your finances and make a budget for the new year. Take on the job this week. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Introspection leads you on a mini-quest to find a creative outlet, Pisces. Play to your strengths and some ideas will surface.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 You have put too much effort into something to abandon your plans now,Virgo. Rethink quitting early on. Maybe a friend can carry you over the finish line. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Surround yourself with lots of friends when you cannot have family near, Libra. This will help keep feelings of loneliness from creeping in during quiet moments.

FAITH
A fresh newness all around in 2014
T
HE YEAR 2014 is still very young. My personal desire and prayer for the 350 or so days ahead is to be renewed daily by its freshness and to keep an eternal outlook on it. Time does fly and eternity is always current. I am told that, on the three archway entrances to a cathedral in Milan, Italy, inscribed are the following messages: • Under the sign of a rose flower, it’s written: “That which pleases us is for a moment.” • The sign of a cross bears the inscription underneath: “That which troubles us is but for moment.” • On the central arch are just the words: “Only that which is eternal remains.” Writing to the church at the pagan city of Corinth, the Apostle Paul stated: “. . . We recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold new things have come.” Into this realm of radical spiritual newness each of us can be brought. Jesus expressed this imperatively when he said, “You must be born again.” The words “in
NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH Christ,” or “in union with Christ” might be puzzling to us. To many, the words are meaningless, which, of course, indicates the new life has never invaded them. Yet the same people apparently know what it means when we say “you are in politics, in law, in business or in advertising.” In principle, it is not otherwise with conversion and spiritually changed life. The person who is “in Christ” is the person who has decided for Christ. For him, there is not a dozen saviours, but one — Jesus — crucified and risen. Martin Luther said it vigorously: “The only faith which makes a Christian is that which casts itself on God for life or death.” Such a decision and such a commitment opens the floodgate of the life that flows from Christ — and a new creation begins. In the center of this whole expression of change is a new relationship to God — reconciliation — which has come through our acceptance of His Son as our mediator and saviour. I think of having read of two quite opposing instances of conversion — one
that of an influential layman, the other of a university girl. The layman was a friend and helper of D.L. Moody, the famous revivalist preacher. His name was Daniel McWilliams, an elder in a church. Not only did he constantly work to win people to Christ, but he also gave generously to open mission doors in Korea. Yet this man, who saw scores of other men spiritually reborn, had no recollection of his own conversion. Although he did not have a recollection that went back to the event of conversion, he did get an assurance of faith that proclaimed the fact of conversion eventually. Instead of growing up as a wanderer from Christ, he grew up as a follower in his later years. The college girl came to me one day after I had taken a Bible-study class. She said something in the study had prompted her to relate a chapter from her spiritual experience. The recital that followed was in some respects shocking. For example, there was a period in her middle teens when she had been so selfwilled and defiant toward God that more than once, while listening to a preacher’s appeal, she prayed to the devil for strength to resist Christ’s call. But, the day came when “the Love that would not let her go,” broke through her resistance, captured her heart and transformed her life. Through surrender
‘The only faith which makes a Christian is that which casts itself on God for life or death.’ — MARTIN LUTHER
to Christ, the God centre that every life needs became hers and a new dawn spread across her sky.

GLOBAL VIEWS
SUPERVOLCANOES Yet another thing to worry about T
HE GOOD THING about volcanoes is that you know where they are.
recent paper in Nature Geoscience that says supervolcano eruptions don’t even need an earthquake as a trigger. “You could compare it to an asteroid impact,” he said. “The risk at any given time is small but, when it happens, the consequences will be catastrophic.” I know you already have enough to worry about, what with climate change and asteroid strikes and the like — but I’m afraid there’s more. Volcanoes and supervolcanoes both involve magma (molten rock deep underground) that breaks through to the surface but, in practice, they are quite different. Volcanoes gradually build themselves into mountains by repeated, relatively modest eruptions of lava. Supervolcanoes are a single massive explosion of magma rising to the surface
If you don’t want to get hurt, just stay away from them. The bad thing about supervolcanoes is that you may know where they are, but there’s no getting away from them. They only blow up very rarely but, when they do, the whole world is affected. They can cover an entire continent with ash and lower temperatures sharply worldwide for years. “This is something that, as a species, we will eventually have to deal with. It will happen in the future,” said Wim Malfait of ETH Zurich (the Swiss Federal institute of Technology), lead author of a
over a huge area — and blasting at least a thousand cubic kilometres of ash into the atmosphere. How massive? The largest recent volcanic eruption was Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, which blew about 10 cubic kilometres of ash and gas into the upper atmosphere in 1991. The result was a 0.4 C drop in average global temperature for a year or so. But, the eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano 640,000 years ago was 100 times as big. It covered the entire North American continent with ash. Just like an asteroid strike, it threw massive amounts of dust and ash into the stratosphere, where it stayed for years, blocking out much of the sunlight. (It doesn’t rain in the stratosphere, so the debris stays there

GWYNNE DYER World WATCH for a long time.) As a result, the average global temperature fell by as much as 10 C for a number of years. It was temporary but, while it lasted, there was a steep fall in the amount of plant material growing on the planet and a corresponding collapse in animal populations. There were no mass extinctions, as far as we can tell, and fairly soon the plant and animal species repopulated their former habitats — but, it certainly spoiled the party for the equivalent of several human generations. Homo sapiens was not around 640,000 years ago, but people like us certainly were around when another supervolcano, Toba in northern Sumatra,
blew about 73,000 years ago. The event has been tentatively linked with a “bottleneck” in human evolution at that time in which, according to some genetic studies, the human population was squeezed down to only about 1,000. This hypothesis has been challenged by a recent study of the sediments in Lake Malawi by an Oxford University-led team. They did not find any layer in the sediments with much reduced vegetation, which you would expect to see if there were a long-lasting cooling of the climate. This is puzzling, since Toba was the biggest supervolcanic blast in 2.5-million years. It boosted two to three times as much dust and ash into the air as the Yellowstone eruption. But, only a couple of years of severely diminished sunlight would still cause catastrophic population losses in both the plant and the animal kingdoms.

Even a relatively short “volcanic winter” would be a huge catastrophe for human beings. How many people would die if such a catastrophe happened now? It is unlikely even half of the world’s seven-billion people would survive two or three years of severe hunger — and civilization itself would take a terrible beating. Nor is there anything useful you can do to prepare for such a catastrophe, unless you are able to stockpile two or three years’ worth of food for the entire world. At the moment, our global food reserve will feed the population for only three or four months, so that is not likely to happen. If it does not, then we just have to hope that the calamity doesn’t happen — knowing we probably will not have much warning if it does. What Malfait’s team discovered is
that the detonation of a supervolcano is entirely dependent on the temperature of the liquid rock in the underground chamber. As it gets hotter, it gets less dense than the solid rock around it. At this point, it will behave just like an air-filled balloon or football that is held underwater, trying to pop up to the surface. Eventually, the magma forces its way to the surface over an area of hundreds of square kilometres, expands and explodes. On average, such an explosion only happens once every 100,000 years but, in practice, it could happen at any time, with as little as a few weeks’ warning. Just thought you’d like to know. Sleep well.

AUTO MARKET The HondaJet light jet aircraft has moved closer to full production and features several innovations that combine to make it the fastest, most spacious and most fuel-efficient jet in its class.
HondaJet gets go-ahead Honda Aircraft Company has announced two significant milestones in the development of the world’s most advanced light jet. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued the first Type Inspection Authorization (TIA) certificate for the HondaJet and also has certified Honda Aircraft Company’s customer service facility as a Part 145 repair station on Dec. 20, 2013. TIA is a pivotal point in the development and certification of a new aircraft. Nose-to-tail FAA review during this final testing phase will pave the way for HondaJet type certification and first customer deliveries to HondaJet customers. The Honda Aircraft customer service facility is located in Greensboro, N.C. The FAA Part 145 certification will initially enable this facility to perform component-level repairs and will then expand in 2014 to include heavy aircraft maintenance and major repair services to complement the HondaJet dealer network.

‘British villains’ at Super Bowl Jaguar has announced it will launch a new brand and product advertising campaign, themed “British Villains,” for the launch of the new Jaguar F-Type Coupe. The campaign will include the brand’s first television commercial produced for running in the broadcast of the Super Bowl. The ad is scheduled to have its broadcast debut on Fox during the second half of Super Bowl XLVIII. The campaign features a 30-second spot and a wide range of digital assets and executions and will play off the idea that Brits have long made the best
villains in landmark films, combining intelligence with charm, restlessness with calm, and always confident. In the world of pop culture, villains disrupt the status quo and challenge the establishment, while living one step ahead of, and better than, the pack. The campaign asks the question, “Have you ever noticed how in Hollywood movies, all the villains are played by Brits?” Academy Award-winning British film and television director Tom Hooper in London is filming the Jaguar campaign, which will feature renowned British actors.
Natural-gas powered vehicles gaining in popularity The automotive compressed natural gas vehicles market is a dynamic and capital-intensive industry. Gas systems fitted as original equipment follow the global demand for new vehicles and the cyclical nature of this business. In addition, demand for gas systems closely tracks the price of alternative fuels with the key driver for most purchases being the savings over gasoline or diesel. In recent years the rise of hybrid systems and the increasing choice of battery vehicles has further widened the choice of alternative energy sources for passenger cars. There is considerable variation at country and regional level in the demand for natural gas vehicles and this report will explains the reasons for this. It is estimated global sales of compressed natural gas vehicles reached 1.5 million in 2013. Aftermarket systems have traditionally been the way cars were converted to run on compressed natural gas but as awareness of the benefits of natural gas vehicles grows more manufacturers are following companies like Fiat and Volvo and offering factory fitted options. Other manufacturers are offering compressed natural gas (CNG) preparatory work at the factory and approved specialists then fit out the car. In the three main automotive markets of the world (China, the U.S. and the European Union) car types and in turn vehicle sizes vary with US cars in general being bigger than those in China and the European Union. In turn each market has different growth rates and drivers of demand which will be covered in more detail in this report. China, which since 2009 has been the largest producer and consumer of passenger cars in the world, has thus become of critical importance for all manufacturers. The global influence of the Chinese consumer has been felt throughout the automotive business and this report will examine the effects globally as the Chinese producers have first satisfied home grown demand and then turned to global exports. However, natural gas vehicles have not to date proven popular in China, however officials are focusing on the big picture — air pollution, energy security and economic growth.

A total of six Honda and Acura models, the most of any auto maker, have received the highest possible safety rating of Top Safety Pick+ from the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) under its more challenging technology requirements in guidelines implemented for the 2014 model year. Four 2014 Honda models were named a Top Safety Pick+ including the Accord Sedan and Coupe; Civic Sedan; and Odyssey, which is the only minivan yet to earn this designation. The Civic Coupe was named a Top Safety Pick. Additionally, two 2014 Acura models, the new MDX and the RLX each achieved Top Safety Pick+ status with the TL earning a Top Safety Pick+ rating. The IIHS Top Safety Pick rating recognizes vehicles that do the best job of protecting vehicle occupants involved in front, side and rear crashes, plus rollover and small overlap front crashes based on performance in the Institute’s tests. Under this year’s more challenging requirements, the IIHS is using the Top Safety Pick+ designation to recognize vehicles that not only performed well in its crash tests but also are equipped with technologies that help prevent or mitigate front-to-rear collisions. Front collision prevention, which includes both warning systems and automatic braking, is intended to help inattentive drivers avoid rear-ending a stopped or slower-moving vehicle in front of them. Honda’s 2014 Top Safety Pick+ vehicles offer a broad range of active and passive safety features along with available leading-edge safety and driver assistive technologies like the Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system. FCW uses a camera or radar mounted in the upper portion of the windshield to detect a vehicle ahead. Audible and visuals warnings alert the driver

We should all cry over spilled milk
A
S OF THIS MORNING, there’s a bottle of milk on the kitchen floor. It was on the counter, lidless. I reached over my bowl of oatmeal for the jar of brown sugar. My wrist clipped the bottle and — sploosh! I walked away. For a moment, or several moments, I considered leaving the milk there as a permanent art installation. And, sure, maybe, just maybe, while I was in the other room, rejecting the cliché of what had just happened, I sniffled just a little. Because, despite what the sweep-it-under-the-ruggers of the would have us believe, crying over spilled milk is perfectly appropriate. It’s natural, even.

In mental-health news in 2014 . . . What’s making Mental Health news So far in 2014?
A link between zinc and depression? A new study by Toronto’s Sunnybrook Hospital and financed by the Ontario Mental Health Foundation has given stronger evidence to the belief that low levels of zinc are related to depression in people. Zinc does a number of good things for the body and it is not hard for medical professionals to see why there could be a link between zinc and depression — not just as a cause of depression, but also as a consequence of depression. Low levels of zinc are also found in people with cardiovascular disease and guess what? Depression has been linked with cardiovascular disease for many years. Before you go out and buy zinc supplements, slow down. Too much of any mineral is also unhelpful and you should consult your doctor for advice (and maybe some lab work) before assuming zinc is your problem.
Bullying behaviour is bad for mental health A British communi-
ty-based study of almost 5,000 participants gave startling results about impacts of bullying. Children bullied at age 10 were more than twice as likely to show signs of psychosis (serious mental illness) by the age of 18 than those who were not bullied. Children who reported doing the bullying were almost five times more likely to have a psychotic episode by the time they reached the age of 18. If your child reports bullying behaviours or you suspect your child is a bully or a victim of bullying, we can think of no better reason to deal with the issue promptly and decisively.
Brain injury and Alzheimer’s disease Although we have talked about the link between brain injury and Alzheimer’s in the past, this new study released by Cambridge University in England has confirmed it. There are many good reasons to ensure you protect your brain health, but especially that of young children — and this is a really good reason. Before you let your child head the soccer ball, ask the coach about protective headwear and perhaps lobby the
league to mandate it. You see, traumatic brain injury is also caused by repeated smaller blows to the head, not just the larger knocks.

Multiple-sclerosis and emotional woes We often talk about the link between physical and mental health in our column. The American Academy of Neurology has released new guidelines to help physicians diagnose mental illnesses arising in conjunction with multiple sclerosis. With medicine working hard to find testbased factors in mental illness diagnoses rather than leaving it solely up to observation and opinion as it has been in the past, we are sure you will see other specialty areas identify ways in which physical ailments are linked with mental illness. These are some of the mental-health headlines from the very first week of 2014 and we are happy you are seeing them here first.
