THESE DAYS, THE BROWN FAMILY LIVES ITS LIFE ROAD-READY. A quick run into Kamloops from their home in Pinantan Lake, or even a phone call, can have the 11-member family loading up the cargo van, preparing to head up the Coquihalla with no notice. The trips to Vancouver can last a few days or balloon into stays of nearly a month. “The last time we went, we didn’t bring anything,” says Miranda Brown. “We were only supposed to be there for a checkup and then got admitted. That’s one of the unexpected things. “It was supposed to be a two-hour visit and we were there for two days.” It’s been this way since November, when the small boy with the head of floppy brown hair sitting in her lap first arrived, along with his twin brother Seamus. Right from the beginning, baby Henry has made his family’s lives more interesting. While having twins was new, Miranda and husband Chris were old hands at childbirth.
The births of their first seven children, from 14-year-old Austin to two-year-old Hannah, had all gone smoothly. So, too, had the 39 weeks of pregnancy leading up to Nov. 12, 2013. Over the course of 10 ultrasounds, Miranda was reassured Henry and Seamus were developing just fine. “I distinctly remember them saying,
Expect more.
‘Oh look — four chamber hearts. Beautiful little hearts,’” she recalls. When a pediatrician checked the babies not long after they were born at Royal Inland Hospital and reported Henry had a heart murmur, Miranda didn’t worry. “I thought, no big deal,” she says. “Babies have heart murmurs.” X See DIAGNOSIS A6

Canada Post changes may be slow to come By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Canada Post expects to begin installing new community mailboxes to replace home delivery next month, but the head of the local postal union doesn’t expect Kamloops to be among the first to convert. The Crown corporation said this week the new mailboxes won’t come first to urban cores due to the complexity of the change. Instead, they will be installed where community mailboxes are already nearby. In Kamloops, about 80 per cent of home delivery remains door-to-door. Lara Plummer, president of Canadian Postal
Workers Union Local 758, said while the union has not been notified, she doesn’t expect changes here any time soon. Canada Post announced late last year it will phase out urban home delivery in favour of community mailboxes that have been standard since the mid-1980s. It expects to convert older neighbourhoods over a five-year period. “I don’t think they’ll come to Kamloops [immediately],” Plummer said. “I think they’ll roll it out in communities with a lot of community mailboxes.” The union’s contract doesn’t allow layoffs, so any letter carriers displaced through change must be given other work.
That kind of movement is easier in a larger centre with more senior workers. Plummer also said the Crown corporation is in the midst of a route restructuring in Kamloops, something it does every few years to reflect localized changes in mail volumes. That route rebuild itself typically results in mail carriers being reassigned. “They’re doing it right now and have said they’re not doing community mailboxes during restructuring,” Plummer said, cautioning, however, “they could change their mind.” The union represents about 200 workers in Kamloops and region. Elimination of door-to-door delivery is expected to cut the number of letter carriers in half.

Telus to reveal Kamloops data centre today Telus Corp. will pull the wraps off its internet data centre today (Jan. 31). The B.C.-based telecommunications provider said the $75-million centre in Sahali is one of the most environmentally sustainable data operations of its kind in the world. Telus said the data centre will use 80 per cent less power than an average facility of its size, which is 215,000 square feet. The centre is designed to meet the gold standard for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and is regarded as one of the most advanced cloud-computing data centres in North America. The building on McGill Road, beside the Q9 Networks data centre, will employ about 25 people, as well as 50 others elsewhere. KTW will be on hand this morning for the opening for what Telus said will be a detailed look at the “next-generation cloud-computing technology.” Story and photos will be online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

Police, CP probe death on tracks By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A man is dead after being struck by a train in downtown Kamloops on Wednesday, Jan. 29. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said the man, whose age and identity have not yet been made public, was walking eastbound on the tracks near the south end of the Overlanders Bridge just before 8:30 p.m. when he was struck from behind by a Canadian Pacific Railway locomotive. Bush said police will soon hand the investigation over to railway and coroners-service officials. “Everything’s still being reviewed,” she said. “CP Rail will look into their end
of the incident and the coroners will take it from there.” Investigators are trying to determine what led to the man being struck — including the possibility he was wearing headphones. “I’m not certain at this point, though that may come out as part of it,” Bush said. “It would have been dark out and there would have been a light visible.” Bush said the incident serves as a reminder for people to be cautious around railway tracks. “We can’t indicate in this case what the circumstances were,” she said. “But, regardless, we always do encourage safety around railway tracks and crossings. It’s not a safe place to be.”

An hour later, the doctor came back to tell Miranda she would be making the first of many trips to Vancouver. Henry needed openheart surgery at the B.C. Children’s Hospital and they would be flying out as soon as possible.
By the time Miranda heard the news, Chris was already on the road back to Pinantan to pick up the rest of the family and introduce them to their new brothers. That quickly turned into a trip to grandma’s in Kamloops, where the kids would spend the

next three weeks. At the hospital, Miranda was reeling from the turn of events. “I just lost it,” she says. “I had no idea anything was wrong and it just kept getting progressively worse as the night went on.” Eventually, Henry was diagnosed with a rare heart defect. While most people have four chambers in their hearts, he has three. Henry was also missing the pulmonary artery that would normally feed blood to the lungs, allowing oxygen to circulate through his bloodstream. On Nov. 18, Henry had what will be the first of many surgeries — a procedure to install a shunt to keep his heart and lungs connected. Between the ages of six and nine months, he will undergo more openheart surgery when doctors at B.C. Children’s Hospital will essentially rebuild his heart with a donor artery. The process will have to be repeated throughout his childhood because the donor artery won’t grow along with him. Doctors will also need to fix Henry’s diaphragm, which was nicked during his first surgery and is paralyzed
as a result. A few days before meeting KTW, doctors from B.C. Children’s Hospital were in Kamloops for one of three annual cardiac clinics they stage in the city. Henry was among the heart patients to visit and doctors almost sent the baby to the Vancouver hospital due to problems with his diaphragm. At home in Pinantan Lake, Henry’s heart condition means a few changes to daily routine. Miranda monitors his oxygen level a few times a day and reports the numbers twice a week to a nurse who calls from B.C. Children’s Hospital. Because Henry is taking aspirin daily to keep blood from clotting in the shunt between his heart and lungs, his immune system isn’t as strong as an average baby’s. That means no interacting with the public during cold and flu season. It’s not the only reason Miranda is glad she chose to homeschool her children — but, lately, it’s a big one. “A cold or a flu is really dangerous for him,” she explains. “It would put him in the hospital.” X See WHERE A7

HELP THE BROWNS WITH SOME GREEN
The Brown family has set up an online fundraising campaign to help cover travel expenses and the cost of staying in the Lower Mainland during Henry’s hospital stays. While some of their rooming costs are covered, mother Miranda says the 11-person family needs at least one extra room to fit everyone, which they must pay for themselves, as well as food costs and repairs to the family’s van. “It adds up so quickly,” she says.

crying and I’m crying because they’re crying.” The separation could have lasted longer. Henry could have taken longer to recover. But, Miranda notes, even a quick recovery, under the circumstances, was too long. Now, when Henry goes to Vancouver, the family goes with him. “It’s really important to me and my husband that we do this as a family and we don’t just single out the one,” Miranda says. “because it’s going to be such a long road, we want to
Homeschooling is also coming in handy as the family prepares for long stretches of time away from home.

Planned visits in Vancouver had to be cancelled as the Coquihalla Highway was closed due to bad weather. “It was so hard to phone home,” Miranda says, “because they’re
make sure everyone sticks together.” That means more than just road trips. At home, studying the heart has crept its way into the Brown family’s homeschool curriculum. To learn about anatomy, the kids constructed a model of a heart out of graham crackers and marshmallows. “We decided we’re all going to become heart experts and really learn this,” Miranda says. The kids have also found their own ways to rally around their

with KTW, Henry was admitted to Royal Inland Hospital once again. He and his family spent another week in Vancouver and are due to return to Kamloops today (Jan. 31).
The Kamloops Exploration Group is pleased to present their
2014 Lecture Series Pothole Notice Potholes are formed when water seeps into small cracks in the asphalt and freezes. The expansion of the ice in the crack causes the asphalt to crumble, and through repeated freeze thaw cycles a pot hole eventually forms. While Kamloops can generally boast about having a fairly mild winter climate, the constant variation of temperature above and below freezing results in the creation of potholes every winter and most predominantly in early spring. During the winter months, conventional hot mix is not available and holes must be temporarily filled using a hot recycled asphalt mix or a cold mix material. Unfortunately the repaired potholes are susceptible to the same freeze thaw cycle and at times require to be filled repeatedly until a more permanent repair can be scheduled in the spring when asphalt plants open up. During these freeze thaw cycles events up to two City crews operate 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday, patrolling and filling potholes they find. It is not uncommon, in wet road conditions, for crews to refill a hole several times in one day until road conditions dry. The City is always looking for better ways to alleviate the problem of pot holes that appear every spring. However, until a better system is found, motorists must be vigilant for the ever present pothole menace. We encourage citizens to report potholes by phoning the Public Works Centre at 250-828-3461 or by using the MyKamloops mobile app, available for download at www.kamloops.ca/mobileapp.

Following Greenland’s race for modernity in 21st century
G
REENLAND HAS THE highest suicide rate in the world — one in five Greenlanders tries to commit suicide at some point in their lives. Everybody in Greenland (all 56,000 of them) knows this. In fact, everybody knows quite a few people who have tried to commit suicide — and one or two who succeeded. So, it is really a good idea to subject this population to an experiment in high-speed cultural and economic change? Greenland is not fully independent. Denmark still controls its defence and foreign affairs and subsidizes the population at the annual rate of about $10,000 per person. But, Greenlanders are one of the few aboriginal societies on the planet that is dominant (almost 90 percent of the population) on a large territory, which is the world’s biggest island. And it is heading for independence. So, the debate in this soon-to-be country is about for what to aim. Do you go on trying to preserve what is left of the old Arctic hunting and fishing culture, although it’s already so damaged and discouraged that it has the highest suicide rate on the planet? Or, do you put the pedal to the metal and seek salvation in full modernization through high-speed economic growth (while keeping your language and what you can of your culture)? What’s remarkable about Greenlandic politics is how aware the players are of their dilemma and their options. “If you want to become rich, it comes at a price,” said Aqqaluk Lynge, one of the founders of the Inuit Ataqatigiit (Community of the People) party that ran the government until
GWYNNE DYER World
WATCH
recently. Lynge doesn’t want to pay that price and, under the Inuit Ataqatigiit administration, all mining in Greenland was banned. Quite apart from the environmental costs of large-scale mining operations, Lynge said, the many thousands of foreign workers they would have brought in would have had a devastating impact on what is already a very fragile Greenlandic culture. But, the Siumut (Forward) party won October’s election and new Prime Minister Aleqa Hammond sees things very differently. Essentially, she thinks modernization has gone too far to turn back now. Better to gamble on solving the current huge social problems (like suicide) by enabling everybody to live fully modern, prosperous lives. If you’re no longer marginalized and poverty-stricken, you’ll feel better about yourself. With this in mind, she has issued more than 120 licences for mining and petrochemical projects, including a huge open-cast iron-ore mine that would ship 15-million tonnes of highgrade iron concentrate a year (mostly to China), drilling platforms for offshore oil and gas exploration and even mines to produce uranium and rare earths.
She has made her choice and she understands it. In a recent interview with the Guardian while she was visiting Norway, Hammond said: “The shock will be profound. But, we have faced colonization, epidemics and modernization before. The decisions we are making [to open the country up to mining and oil exploitation] will have enormous impact on lifestyles and our indigenous culture. But, we always come out on top. We are vulnerable, but we know how to adapt.” Brave words, but few Greenlanders have the technical and managerial skills to get senior jobs in these high-risk, high-cost enterprises ($2.5 billion for the iron-ore mine alone) and most of them will not want the hard, dirty, dangerous jobs of the workers in the mines and on the rigs. If all goes well, they will no longer depend on the Danish subsidies that currently keep their society afloat, but they will just be shifting to a different source of subsidies. To the extent a sense of cultural marginalization and defeat, and a life without meaningful work, is responsible for the Greenlanders’ problems, it’s hard to see how more money from a different source will help — or how adding tens of thousands of foreign workers from places like China to the social mix will help, either. Hammond is damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t — leaving the people in their current predicament is not a good choice, but going flat out for modernization doesn’t feel like such a good option either. It would be a good time to call in the cultural engineers, if such a profession existed. gwynnedyer.com
Senate receiving scrutiny it deserves In one fell swoop this week, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau knocked 32 senators on their butts and set in motion yet another firestorm of debate on the relevance and purpose of the Canadian Senate. Is this an honest stab at reform or a cynical effort to distance the Liberal party from possible future scandals involving expenses? The answer to that question depends on who you ask. Certainly, most Canadians outside of Ottawa would rather see the costly house of sober second thought demolished completely. But, if reform is all we can get in the short term, kicking Liberal senators out of caucus provides at least some opportunity for independence. It would take an army of political scientists to sniff out whether this move makes a difference in the long term. But, the fact remains — stunt or not — Trudeau has done more to change the Senate this week than any prime minister or party leader has done in previous generations. While the critics will scoff at what Trudeau has done, at least he has done something. And, while Prime Minister Stephen Harper deserves scorn for his hypocrisy in appointing senators after saying he would not do so, voters need to remember that his Conservatives are awaiting a court decision on making the Senate an elected body. Yes, scorn can be heaped at Harper, but note also he is following on his pledge to try to make the Senate an elected body. Between Trudeau and the prime minister, we may yet get some use out of the useless Red Chamber.

“Hopefully there is not another appeal. “We don’t need the government having another temper-tantrum over this. “They have done wrong. “Move on and make restitution to the ‘hurt’ parties (students, parents, teachers and other educational personnel). “Another appeal only demonstrates an inability to do the right thing. “Twelve years has been way too long!” — posted by Troylana Manson “They probably will appeal it. “Two-million dollars really is a drop in the bucket compared to what they’re going to have to pay in order to reinstate those 1,200 teachers and support staff they illegally laid off. “I’m not sure, but I imagine it could happen, that those who were laid off could come back and sue? “It’s just apalling how the government turned everyone against them. “My mind is still reeling over that. “You done goofed, Liberals.” — posted by Sweet Dee
Ajax will not be worth it — let me count the ways Editor: The unhappy opinions in letters to the editor about the proposed Ajax mine often avoid factual evidence. Many writers bring emotion into the discussion over the need for jobs and ignore the very negative aspects of the proposed mine and the behaviour of the new owners. KGHM Polska Mied S.A. is not as public-minded as one would hope. Its pollution of the environment in Poland by its plants are estimated to cost the public over $360 million a year, according to the European Energy Agency. That’s in Europe and in KGHM’s home country.
In Canada, the company will cost us plenty in clean-up costs after it has finished with us. Then there is the loss of life that will take place in Kamloops from particulate and noxious gases, to say nothing of the millions of dollars that will be lost in realestate value, tourism and tournament participation, and increased costs in health care. So, let’s put a value on all this of conservatively about $1 billion. Now, these increased jobs everyone is hopeful of appearing will bring in a net of about $400 million in federal tax contribution and individual savings, which is not even enough to cover the big bill we will be presented with in the future.
So, where is the advantage? KGHM will get about $8 billion in profit, depending on copper prices and we will get the shaft with a $1-billion expense bill after all is said and done. The government of Poland (major shareholders in KGHM) will profit very nicely, thank you. But, that will not be the case for the good folks in Canada. Let’s ask the question again: Are the few jobs everyone claims will be created by the mine worth that? Are they worth death, an ugly landscape and a $1-billion clean-up bill? Ken Blawatt Kammloops

Did columnist Fletcher take a drink from tailings ponds? Editor: Re: Tom Fletcher’s Jan. 24 column on Neil Young’s criticism of the oil sands (‘Old man, take a look at your facts, they’re not quite true’): Fletcher should stop taking Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver’s advice. Drinking from tailings ponds does not appear to
be bringing any clarity to Fletcher’s argument. The fact similar environmental destruction exists in the U.S. means Canadians should shut up and ignore what goes on in our country? Would Fletcher at least concede any industrial development of this size comes at a significant cost to
the environment? I agree the oil sands are extremely important to the Canadian economy and provide thousands of high-paying jobs to people across this country but, surely, there’s room for a balanced discussion. Perhaps we can start somewhere between shutting it
down, as Neil Young would prefer, or expanding it as fast as humanly possible — the clear choice of the present federal and Alberta governments. If Young’s comments lead to discussions at dinner tables across this country, then he did us all a great service. Bob Tanner Campbell River

Get the facts with White Cane Week By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Why do people with vision impairments use white canes? It’s a simple question with a surprisingly complex answer. Did you know there are actually three different types of white canes, all serving different purposes? First, there’s the ID cane. It’s a small, foldable cane used by those who are legally blind but have partial sight. It is used to inform the public a person has vision impairment. Then there’s the mobility cane. It’s used by those with no vision
or limited vision and it helps those people navigate their surroundings. Finally, there’s the support cane, which is for those with other mobility issues who also have vision impairment. It’s information like this that Les Nolin, vice-president of the White Cane Club and an employee with the Kamloops branch of the CNIB, is hoping to draw awareness to during the 68th White Cane Week. Running from Sunday, Feb. 2, to Saturday, Feb. 8, White Cane Week is a blind-awareness campaign that promotes public education and increases awareness of different
facets of blindness and vision impairment. “It’s like any kind of disability,� Nolin said of vision impairment. He hopes the week will help people learn the purpose of the white cane and how they can help individuals with vision impairment with their day-to-day activities. Nolin also hopes the event can help individuals with vision impairments overcome the stigma they are faced with when trying to find employment. “I know that people aren’t aware of the different visual technologies that are out there,� Nolin said. The former firefighter
they actually improved their bowling last year,� Nolin joked. On Thursday, Feb. 6, there will be a luncheon at Desert Gardens Community Centre at Seymour Street and Fifth Avenue downtown. Doors will open at 11:30 a.m., with lunch beginning at noon. Instead of the usual guest speaker at the luncheon, this year’s meal will feature a band from Kamloops Christian School. Tickets are $12 for the general public and $6 for White Cane Club members and are available at the Kamloops CNIB office at 546 St. Paul St. downtown.
noted those technologies help people accomplish the same work as those without vision impairments. “Often times, people are reluctant even to hire people who are vision impaired or blind, thinking they might not be able to do the job.� As part of White Cane Week, there will be bowling at Bowlertime in North Kamloops on Monday, Feb. 3, at 1 p.m. The alley is open to anyone who would like to come out and bowl a game while wearing special glasses that simulate different vision impairments. “A couple people said
Sears Kamloops expects to lose ďŹ ve employees By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Workforce reductions announced by Sears Canada Inc. are expected to result in loss of five jobs at each of the stores across Canada. Spokeswoman Alicia Richler told KTW the corporation will not detail precise layoffs at each store, including its Kamloops location.
Sears Canada is laying off a total of 624 employees across the country. It is the second time this month the company announced cuts as it struggles in the national retail market. Richler said the cuts were to what the company calls “mid-level leads� — an effort to improve communication between management and store associates. Staff in those posi-
tions worked their last day on Wednesday, Jan. 29. “It was immediate because it was an actual change to the store structure,� she said. “We want a more efficient system and we want it to happen now.� One year ago, the national retailer laid off 700 workers, but those cuts were restricted to distribution centres in Ontario.

Charges result from stabbings
A 26-year-old Kamloops man will likely face serious assault charges after two people were stabbed during a fight on a downtown street corner. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said the incident took place at about 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 29, outside the TNRD Library at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue, where three men began fighting. Bush said one of the men pulled
out a knife during the fight, noting two others received non-life-threatening knife wounds. Bush said the two victims are not co-operating with police. Billy Jack McKay is charged with one count each of robbery and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and two counts each of assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm.

North Shore businesses like bridge-repair delay By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Motorists will face another year of bumpy rides, but the executive director of the North Shore Business Improvement Area said businesses in the Tranquille Market are breathing a sigh of relief now that Kamloops city council has agreed to postpone a $6-million reconstruction project on the Overlanders Bridge. Steven Puhallo said replacing the bridge deck — which will take up to four months — would have been the third significant construction project at the entrance to the Tranquille Market corridor in as
many years. In 2012, the overpass to the market was closed for more than a month after it was clipped by a truck carrying an excavator. Last year, a major lighting upgrade in the area turned into a major pain for businesses as unforeseen delays stretched the length of the project into fall. Puhallo said a third year of construction work in the area could have been the final straw. “We were quite worried from what we’d heard from our merchants and our businesses in that area, that it would become a critical issue for them and their business well-being,” he said.
Council this week agreed to push repairs on the bridge back to 2015 so city staff can figure out what to do with the sidewalk on the west side of the bridge, which is badly in need of either replacement or repair. Streets and capital-projects manager Kristen Meersman told council the concrete and rebar corbels that hold up the sidewalk’s panels haven’t been touched since they were installed in 1961. As the rebar deteriorates, it’s loosening the concrete around it, causing it to “pop off,” Meersman said. One of the corbels has already shed concrete onto the
roadway below it. While the city has had a replacement schedule for the sidewalk’s concrete panels, “you can’t just pop off a corbel and go back and replace one because they’re tied into the rebar structure of the bridge itself,” Meersman said. Repair costs are estimated at $2 million — above and beyond the cost of already-planned upgrade to the bridge deck —and, at this point, it’s not clear if the city can repair the sidewalk at all. If it’s possible, Meersman said the lifespan will likely be limited. More work could be needed in a decade. A replacement sidewalk would
have an estimated lifespan of 25 years and cost about $3.5 million. Removing the sidewalk altogether would cost $1.5 million. Meersman said it’s better to tackle the sidewalk and bridgedeck replacement at the same time because dealing with the sidewalk will likely mean tearing up some of the deck. As a temporary fix on the bumpy bridge deck, Meersman said the city plans to fill the wheel ruts on the span with hot mix at a cost of $25,000. The process may need to be repeated a couple times this year, but will take a few days, rather than a few months.
Gaglardi Square, TNRD plaza, eyed for food trucks By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
By the time the weather warms up, Kamloops’ food trucks could have a place in the city’s core. Gay Pooler, general manager of the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA), said her organization is working with the city to find four or five spots where the rolling restaurants can set up shop downtown. So far, the KCBIA is eyeing parking spaces in front of the ThompsonNicola Regional District (TNRD) Building at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue and next to Gaglardi Square at Seymour Street and Second Avenue.
“We want to be able to see them in Riverside Park, Pioneer Park and the downtown as well,” Pooler said. “We’re just trying to work with the city to identify some other locations.” Pooler said the goal is to place the trucks in areas where there is already some type of outdoor seating, what she said other BIAs refer to as “sticky places.” Both Gaglardi Square and the TNRD plaza fit the bill and, Pooler said, could do with some livening up. She said she’d like to see the trucks also visit other parts of the city, coming downtown for about three hours three times a week specifically to target the lunch rush. “It would get people to use that park more,”
she said of Gaglardi Square. “Because it’s a beautiful park and it’s a great place for people that work downtown to go have lunch.” Pooler said the food trucks are part of a broader campaign to get more people using public spaces in downtown Kamloops. The KCBIA is working with the Kamloops Art Gallery to encourage other kinds of programming in the TNRD plaza area. Pooler said the hope is to encourage the Wednesday farmer’s market or performing artists
to take advantage of the space. She also thinks it could be a good spot for yoga or tai chi classes. “It’s a great space and it’s been under-utilized and has potential for much more vitality,” she said.

SUPER BOWL IN THE COLD
Peyton Manning and the highflying Denver Broncos’ offense will be taking on the Seattle Seahawks’ top-ranked defense in Super Bowl XLVIII on Sunday, Feb. 2, at MetLife stadium in New Jersey — the first outdoor championship game since the title tilts began being called Super Bowls.
By Paul Newberry
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — For the first time, the Super Bowl is being played outdoors in a cold-weather city. It used to be the norm for the NFL’s championship game. Just ask 92-year-old Charley Trippi. Long before there was a Super Bowl, the hall of famer played in two title games with the Chicago Cardinals — the first while wearing sneakers to cope with an icy field, the second in a Philadelphia blizzard that made it impossible to even see the yard lines. “You never really knew if you had a first down,’’ Trippi recalled when reached at his home in Athens, Ga., where, interestingly enough, there was snow on the ground from a freak winter storm that paralyzed much of the South this week. It wouldn’t be at all surprising to have flurries at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, when the Denver Broncos face the Seattle Seahawks, though the forecast is calling for only a 20 per cent chance of precipitation. The temperature, expected to climb
well past the freezing mark in the afternoon, could dip back below 0 C after nightfall. Trippi doesn’t understand why the NFL took a chance on its signature game being marred by inclement weather, when the league has plenty of warm-weather cities and domed stadiums from which to choose. “The championship game should be played in a climate that you know is going to be agreeable to put on a good exhibition of football,’’ he said. “Actually, if I was a fan, I wouldn’t go to the game with that kind of temperature.’’ Before the first Super Bowl in 1967, the NFL title game was a matchup between division winners in late December, hosted by one of the teams. Since most pro franchises in those days were located in the Northeast and Midwest, it wasn’t at all surprising for the championship to be decided in some especially brutal weather. In fact, it often became the central theme.
SEEING THE FUTURE
Turn to page A19 to see the Super Bowl predictions of a handful of notable Kamloopsians.
Most notably, there was the famous Sneakers Games in 1934, when the New York Giants borrowed basketball shoes from a nearby college, changed out of their cleats in the third quarter and turned a 13-3 deficit into a 30-13 victory at the ice-covered Polo Grounds. The Giants would repeat the tactic 22 years later, romping to another title largely by having better footing than their opponents. Both title games that Trippi played in were affected by the weather. In 1947, Comiskey Park was coated with a thin sheet of ice when the Cardinals hosted the Philadelphia Eagles on a bitterly cold day (Trippi remembers the wind chill being minus-29 C). Borrowing a page from the Giants, Trippi traded his cleats for
sneakers and scored two touchdowns on a 44-yard run and a 75-yard punt return, leading Chicago to a 28-21 victory and what remains the franchise’s only title. “The only time I played an NFL game in tennis shoes was in Chicago for our championship team,’’ Trippi said. “We got better footing in tennis shoes. You couldn’t stand up in cleats.’’ The following year, the teams met again in the title game, this time at Philadelphia’s Shibe Park. A full-fledged blizzard struck the city, dumping so much snow the grounds crew couldn’t remove the tarp. The players were summoned from the locker room to help pull it off the field. By the time the game kicked off, the field was completely covered again, this time by several inches of the white stuff. What followed barely qualified as football, much less a title game. “It was more of a pushing game,’’ Trippi said, recalling how the players were slipping and sliding

all over the place. “It was incredible. The officials improvised the whole game. No one could see the lines. The ballplayers just couldn’t react like they wanted. I think the fans got cheated out of seeing a real championship game.’’ The Cardinals, who had gone 11-1 during the regular season and led the league with an average of more than 391 yards per game, managed just six first downs and 131 yards in the horrible conditions. The Eagles didn’t fare much better, but a Chicago turnover early in the fourth quarter set up the game’s only score, Steve Van Buren’s fiveyard touchdown run. The final: Philadelphia 7, Chicago 0. To this day, Trippi figures the Cardinals were wrongly denied their second straight title. “When two professional teams play and they can only score seven points,’’ he said, “that shows you what a terrible game it was.’’ He hopes there’s not a repeat on Sunday.

Canada West playoff hunt resumes at the TCC By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The TRU WolfPack women’s basketball team controls its postseason fate this weekend, hosting the Manitoba Bisons (3-13) and the Winnipeg Wesmen (8-8) at the Tournament Capital Centre. Victory against either team will put TRU into the playoffs for the third consecutive season. The WolfPack (9-7) find themselves in fourth place in the Canada West’s pacific division, 10 points ahead of the fifth-place UNBC Timberwolves (4-12) of Prince George. Should the Timberwolves lose either of their games this weekend — they are on the road to face two of the best teams in the nation in the Alberta Golden Bears (14-2) and the Saskatchewan Huskies (14-2) — TRU will finish no worse than fourth in the pacific division, guaranteeing a playoff berth. Head coach Scott Reeves said he would like to see his team heading into the playoffs on a winning note but, when you’re talking bout the Canada West, how you get in the post-season isn’t what’s important.
“I’m pretty sure any team would take any playoff opportunity, however it came,” Reeves said. “It’s about winning basketball games and playing your best basketball heading into playoffs.” TRU’s women are coming off a pair of victories against the Trinity Western Spartans (3-13) last weekend and have won seven of their last 10 games. The WolfPack have not lost to Winnipeg or Manitoba since the 2010-11 campaign. “I would hope that our preparation this week is going to dictate that we have a good scout on both teams and we’re going to be able to compete right to the end and give ourselves a chance to win,” Reeves said. On the men’s side, the 9-7 WolfPack are in a playoff dogfight. Despite a record that is identical to TRU’s women, the parity of the men’s field has the playoffs far from a guarantee for the Pack. The UBC Thunderbirds (8-8), the Mount Royal Cougars (7-9) and Trinity Western (7-9) are within four points of the Pack and are threats to push TRU out of the playoff picture. The Victoria Vikes are the divi-
sion’s only safe team, boasting a 14-2. Coming off a pair of victories against the Spartans on the weekend, men’s head coach Scott Clark is pleased to see his team peak at the right moment. “Hopefully we can carry the momentum forward from last week,” Clark said. “We were clearly the better team, I thought, for six of the eight quarters and it results in a couple of wins.” The men will also be facing Manitoba (4-12) and Winnipeg (11-5). Clark didn’t tip his hand regarding the health of his team but, with Josh Wolfram playing 32 minutes on Jan. 25 after leaving the Jan. 24 game with a lower-body injury, one would suspect he will be in the lineup when the Pack takes to the hard-court. Will Ondrik was also unavailable for the WolfPack last weekend. “The guys that are healthy are playing and the guys who aren’t healthy won’t play,” Clark said. Women’s action this evening (Jan. 31) tips off at 6 p.m.at the TCC with the men’s game

going at 8 p.m. On Saturday, Feb. 1, the women’s matchup will begin at 5 p.m., with the men taking over at 7 p.m.
TRU on ice
Skip Corryn Brown and her rink, which includes third Erin Pincott, second Samantha Fisher and lead Ashley Nordin, are in Edmonton to represent TRU this weekend at the Canada West Curling Championships. The WolfPack will be up against teams from the University of Alberta, the University of Regina and the University of Calgary.
The top two teams will attend the national championship in Regina in March.
Wolves and birdies
The WolfPack and the TRU Gym will play host to the final tournament of the Pacific Western conference badminton season on the weekend. TRU is ranked 12th in the nation and has placed no higher than fourth in the season’s two previous tournaments. The WolfPack will be without Anthony Arduini, one of the team’s stronger players, who is recovering from an ankle sprain.

‘I SEW TO DESIGN, I DON’T DESIGN TO SEW’ KTW reporter Dale Bass caught up with 16-yearold fashion designer Quinn Collier ahead of his show this weekend
SATURDAY
T
wo-hundred tickets were sold for an upcoming fashion show in Kamloops — before any publicity could begin. The designer? A Grade 11 student at South Kamloops secondary. Quinn Collier will be no rookie in the field, however; the show at Thompson Rivers University on Saturday, Feb. 1, will be his ninth. This is his first big splash of a show, however, for the almost-17-yearold — his birthday is four days after the event — and it will see the dining room used by the university’s cafeteria/culinary-arts program transformed for QTC Spring/Summer 2014. As befits the event, it will begin with a 6:30 p.m. cocktail hour before the show begins. Quinn said using the campus facility was suggested by family friend and TRU assistant vice-president academic Katherine Sutherland. TRU student Nic Zdunich is also helping and Quinn said Zdunich has done pretty much everything except

make the clothes. Zdunich is handling the alcohol, the lights, the recording and the setting. “He’s basically handled it all so that I can just work on the designs,” Collier said. And, he’s been busy. When he’s not in school, Quinn has been creating fashions for the show’s theme of a girl “who’s kind of like a ballerina” who moves to Los Angeles and gets caught up in that city’s rock-band culture. The clothes start out somewhat prim and proper and end up edgy and distinctive. One of the ways Quinn makes his mark on his designs is incorporating gold-coloured industrial zippers in all of them — from the tartan skirts to the vegan leather attire
one might see on Carole Pope rather than Karen Kain. Quinn said he first got interested in fashion as a youngster, putting on his first show at the end of Grade 6. Looking back on it, he said, “it really wasn’t much of a show, not like this,” but he saw in fashion design a way to “encapsulate all I like about the world — beauty, art, production.” He even likes the more controversial aspects associated with haute couture fashion shows — the ethical questions about using thin models, for example. For this show, as with all others, the models will include his sister Simone and friends. “I was really determined,” Quinn said of his entry into design. “So, my mom was like OK and she bought me some fabric and I took lessons at Anderson’s [Sewing] on Victoria Street. “My first show, well, they weren’t real clothing, but the response I got was amazing — people saying, ‘You’re making clothing. That’s so cool.’
“I liked the idea of doing it and it’s what I want to do with my life.” Quinn said he draws inspiration for his designs from people around him, things he sees and things he wishes he never saw. “Sure, sometimes I’ll see someone and I’ll look at what they’re wearing and go, ‘What were you thinking?’ “Some people have no taste at all. “John Galliano [a fashion designer who has worked with Dior, Givenchy and under his own moniker] once said it’s better to have bad taste than no taste. “If people have no taste at all, they’re missing out on a chapter of life.” He sells some of his creations, but only through word of mouth or at his shows — and, if he hasn’t made something in your size or colour, don’t ask him to do it. “I don’t like to do commissions,” Quinn said. “When I sew, if it’s not for a show or an idea, it’s a waste of time to me. “I sew to design, I don’t design to sew. “I’m not a seamstress.”

YouTube success story opening for Hedley By Dale Bass
GET TO KNOW ALYSSA REID
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Christmastime for Alyssa Reid was one of family, fun — and old home videos. In almost all of them, there was a young Alyssa, “barely able to form sentences,” Reid said. “And, I was awful. Tone-deaf. It was awful. I guess I thought I was a good singer but I wasn’t.” That inner belief, however, is what she attributes to her success now that she’s had some hits and is on the bill for the upcoming Hedley tour. “I’ve never done any arenas in Canada so this is my first time and it’s pretty big,” Reid said. “I did some opening for One Direction in the UK but this is great. My family’s excited.” The tour comes to Interior Savings Centre on Sunday, Feb. 16, and includes Danny Fernandes and JRDN, as well. On the day KTW spoke with her, Reid’s voice was a bit hoarse, the result of having just finished up recording a new album and heading right back into the studio to write more songs with members of
EARLY ON: Alyssa Reid was born in Edmonton on March 15, 1993, but was raised in Ontario. She began singing at a young age and wrote her first song as a seven-year-old. DISCOVERY: Reid was discovered on YouTube, performing a cover of Justin Bieber’s One Less Lonely Girl. Her version of the song went viral, and she released her first single in 2010. TODAY: An established opening and solo act, Reid has toured with One Direction and Neverest.
Virginia to Vegas. “I wish I slept more,” the 20-yearold said. “But, I’m lucky I’m young and have energy. It’s hard, though, with your voice because it’s not like an instrument you can just pick up and play.” Reid was discovered in 2009 in a true socialmedia way — she had a YouTube video rework-
ing of a Justin Bieber song that had, by the time Wax Records came knocking, more than 200,000 hits. Her first single, Alone Again, a rework of the Heart hit Alone, led to some controversy and a change in her attitude toward the Wilson sisters who were known as Heart. A fan for years, she

the new CD. “It’s called See Me,” she said, “and it’s a song on a very important manner about how girls are always wanting to change themselves for someone else.” Did she do that as a teen? “Oh, yes, I did it a million times.” Her family’s been supportive as she forged her career, Reid said, although “sometimes they love it and sometimes they hate it. They hate it when it takes so
much of my time. But, I know, when they’re in the audience, they’ll be loving it. My mom will be crying when I sing my sad songs. “My sister always cries when I sing Watch Me Soar.

changed her mind when she heard the sisters were considering a lawsuit against her for her use of parts of their song, Reid said. “But, it wasn’t their song. They didn’t write it.

DENNIS MICHAEL BROWN (BROWNIE)
Raffaela Nesci (nee) Demasi
September 24, 1954 - January 27, 2014
April 18, 1922 - January 30, 2014
On Monday January 27, 2014 Dennis passed away in the arms of his daughter Erin and his wife Rose (his Rosie) in Marjorie Willoughby Hospice House. The cancer he had fought defiantly finally won. He is survived by his loving wife Rose, daughter Erin (Chris), his grandson Hunter (the light of his life), Hunter’s dad Bo Tresierra and many good friends. He also leaves behind his mother Irene Brown in Stettler, his brother David Brown in Red Deer, his sisters Jeanette Baum(Ken) in Strathmore and Sandra Sargent (Rodney) in Mirror, his brother in law Alister Wilson (Denise) in Airdrie, father in law Wilbur Wilson (Doris) in Victoria, sisters in law Joanne Edwards in Drumheller, Denise Birch (Winston) in Kuwait along with neices and nephews Trevor, Raunda, Chris, Rausheen, Meghan, Ryan, Katie, Christopher, Erika, Andrea, Carmen and chosen nephew Mark Boice of Stettler along with their children. He is predeceased by his father Newton Brown, mother in law Molly Wilson, nephew Richard Sargent and good friends Phil Boice and David Kastic. Dennis was born and raised in Stettler, Alberta, lived in Edmonton, then Millet and then in Leduc for nine years and moved to Kamloops with Rose and Erin in 1988. He enjoyed working as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic and was known as a hard worker with a laid back personality. He had an engaging smile and a wicked sense of humour. Dennis liked to “fix” things and do renovations to his home and Erin’s home. He was devastated when he no longer had the energy to do so. He loved to take Hunter to public skating to “skate like the wind” and over the past few years enjoyed many happy hours either in his boat or relaxing at Agate Bay on Adams Lake. He liked to golf; particularly in Maui with his good friend Leni. As he started to enjoy travel over the past 20 years he has been to Mexico nine times, Maui four times, Ireland, Egypt and Kuwait. He had a “bucket list” of places he wanted to explore in his retirement and Heaven wasn’t on it. If there is a happy hunting ground he is there with his buddies Phil and Dave, terrorizing the wildlife and enjoying a good laugh. The family would like to thank all of our friends for their understanding and support and Dr. Wiltshire and Laurie for the wonderful and personal care and to the amazing staff at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home for their support during the last week of Dennis’s life. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Dennis’s name to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home, 72 Whiteshield Crescent S., Kamloops BC V2E 2S9. Phone: 250-372-1336. A celebration of Dennis’s life will be held at 2:00 PM on February 8, 2014 at the South Thompson Inn in Kamloops. In honour of his unique sense of style, please dress casually.
FERGUSON William “Bill” Ferguson (December 15, 1935January 14, 2014): It is with profound sadness that the family of Bill Ferguson announce his passing on January 14, 2014, with his daughters Wendy and Heather by his side.

Bill was a locomotive engineer with the PGE/BCR for over 44 years. Bill is survived by his wife, Beth, daughters, Wendy (Darrell) Zrobek, and Heather Ferguson (Dave) and son, Craig (Dee) Ferguson. He is also survived by his granddaughters, who were his greatest pride and joy, Kimberly (Cameron) Kucy, Nicole Zrobek, Brittany Fisher, Amanda and Tasha Ferguson; his brother Tom (Joan) Ferguson, and sister Sheila (Ian) McAndrew, as well as many nieces and nephews. Bill was predeceased by his parents, Archibald and Margaret Ferguson. At Bill’s request, there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in memory of Bill to Rotary Hospice House, 3089 Clapperton, Prince George, BC V2L 5N4. “The only thing better than having you for a Dad is my children having you for a Papa”. We will love you and miss you forever.

Jane Gardiner
March 19, 1962 – January 24, 2014 Surrounded by family, Jane left us peacefully at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver. She was a rare spirit and will be sorely missed. Jane was the fourth of five children born to Mollie (Hall) and Squadron Leader Ernie Gardiner. As an Air Force brat she lived in many places including France, Belgium and Germany. Sunny and active, Jane was proud of her 50 metre butterfly record at the Gloucester Swim Club in Ottawa. She graduated from Caledonia High School in Terrace and then lived in Ottawa before returning to BC to train as a Certified Personal Trainer. In Vancouver, Jane taught at the YM/YWCA and the Steve Nash Fitness World Sports Club, her favourite class being the 6 am Spin Cycle session. Jane went on to start her own business “Athleta Training” which operated out of the Strathcona Community Centre; popular programs were “Boomer Fitness”, training and testing for POPAT, Police Officer’s Physical Abilities Test, and PARE, Physical Abilities Requirement Evaluation. She loved personal training and often accompanied clients on early morning runs along the seawall. Jane was predeceased by her Father and brother Joseph, and is survived by her Mother, Mollie Both, and beloved step-father Archie Both of Kamloops; brother Bill, sisters Leslie and Cathie (Frank Dal Bello), nieces Kendra and Lauren Fredette of 0ttawa, and nephews Daniel and Gabriel Dal Bello of Adelaide, Australia. A celebration of Jane’s life will be held on Friday, February 7th, 3:00 pm at Glenhaven Memorial Chapel, 1835 East Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, 604.255.5444. Please visit www.glenhavenmemorialchapel.com to express condolences.

If I Knew But just in case I might be wrong, And today is all I get, I’d like to say how much I love you And I hope we never forget. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, If I knew it would be the last time Young or old alike, that I see you walk out the door, And today may be the last chance I would give you a hug and kiss You get to hold your loved one tight. And call you back for one more. So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, If I knew it would be the last time Why not do it today? I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, For if tomorrow never comes, so I could play them back day after day. You’ll surely regret the day, That you didn’t take that extra time If I knew it would be the last time, For a smile, a hug, or a kiss I could spare an extra minute And you were too busy to grant To stop and say “I love you,” someone, Instead of assuming you would KNOW What turned out to be their one last I do. wish. If I knew it would be the last time So hold your loved ones close today, I would be there to share your day, Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, And whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them so I can let just this one slip away. And that you’ll always hold them dear For surely there’s always tomorrow Take time to say “I’m sorry,” To make up for an oversight, “Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” or And we always get a second chance “It’s okay.” To make everything just right. And if tomorrow never comes, There will always be another day You’ll have no regrets about today. To say “I love you,” And certainly there’s another chance To say our “Anything I can do?” If I knew it would be the last time That I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly And pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

I
LOOKED INTO RICHARD’S DARK EYES. They were as clear and bright as an icy Coke. I heard myself say the words before I knew what I was going to say — “I love you, Richard. Do you love me?” Poor Richard. Who knew what sort of confessions he’d heard at the edge of this ancient cliff. Trussed up and connected to a long cable, I was poised to jump into South Africa’s Oribi Gorge. We were 120 kilometers south of Durban in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Moments before, I had whispered a silent apology to my husband back home as I filled out the in-case-of-an-emergency details on the indemnity form. Although I’d met Richard only moments before, he assured me that he really, really loved me, too, that I would be thrilled to have done this and to just please jump. Instead, I asked him to check my harness. Once again, he checked the already-checked straps. “I will count three-two-one and then you jump,” he asked. “All right?” I inched forward, positioned my feet on the yellow shoe prints painted at the very edge of the abyss and asked myself for the zillionth time why I thought it necessary to fling myself into a 300metre-deep gorge while tethered onto a 100-metre rope. “Three . . . two . . . one.” I backed away from the cliff, sure I was going to throw up. “I’m too afraid,” I said My heart seemed visible as it flung itself like an insane rabbit against my ribcage. “I can’t,” I said. “This is crazy.” My legs were wobbly. I backed up slowly and sank next to Richard on the 365 million year old sandstone. Mere inches from my Nikes,

the cliff dropped away over 300 meters. Later, I realized I must have wanted “I love you” to be my last words before I threw myself into a freefall, a dive that would fling me into the gorge below and would only stop me — I hoped — when the rope came to its end. But, right now, my fibrillating heart reminded me of another question — “What if I die of a heart attack?” “I promise you won’t die,” he said. “Don’t think about it — just jump.” His voice was strangely soothing and hypnotic, especially considering he was telling me to fling myself off a cliff. I had seen him push the others — ones like me who couldn’t find the will to do it themselves. “I know I told you that I didn’t want you to push me,” I said.
“But I think you’re going to have to . . . okay?” This gorgeous and very patient man, who had recently declared his love for me, nodded. I shuffled my feet to the very edge of the cliff. The fear rose in my throat as my heart pounded in my belly. I could not look down. “Three . . . two . . . one.” I did not die. And, with one fell swoop, my brief fling with Richard was over. But, my love affair with South Africa grew deeper every day. I came home dreaming of that ephemeral moment when the pink and gold warmth of the sunrise pushed back the pre-dawn dark while we floated up, up, up in our hot-air balloon, until we hung suspended, silent and bathed in perfect light over the ancient Blyde River Canyon. I remember too, those three-

days spent at Kapama Private Game Reserve, where crazy-luxury met the wild kingdom, like the sudden nighttime stop as our guide’s spotlight revealed 13 lions, faces bright with blood as they ripped into the belly of a warthog. The next day, that same pack lolled in the hot dust, grooming themselves back to a pretty innocence — fluffy and furry-soft like super-large toys strewn on a child’s bed.
