Crash claims life of Jennifer Swan By Dale Bass

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Staff and students at Beattie School of the Arts elementary campus are coming to terms with the death of Grade 2 teacher Jennifer Swan.

Beattie teacher Jennifer Swan touched many lives, with many people posting their thoughts online at kamloopsthisweek.com. A sampling: “Such a tragic loss. Mrs. Swan was my son’s teacher two years and she was by far his favourite. She truly loved teaching and made an impact on everyone she interacted with. She was a lovely soul and was taken far too early. My heart goes out to her boys and husband at this time.” — Heather Bohay “A lovely person, a fantastic teacher and a role model for many. Her smile and kindness will be dearly missed. Heartbreaking, absolutely heartbreaking. A husband has been widowed and two precious children are left without a mother.” — Brenda Walsh

Swan, 43, died in a traffic accident on Highway 1 between Chilliwack and Hope when the 2007 minivan in which she was a passenger crashed near the Peters Road interchange. The accident occurred on the afternoon of Monday, Feb. 10. KamloopsThompson school district Supt. Terry Sullivan said counsellors are at the McGill Road school this week. Sullivan said Swan was involved in the creation of the fine-arts school, coming from Langley to speak to the parent group behind the initiative. A dance instructor, she was hired by the school district to join the school’s staff. “The students form K [kindergarten] to Grade 12 would all know her,” Sullivan said. “This is a terrible tragedy.” Swan was in the district’s leadershipdevelopment program and known for her dynamic approach to teaching. “We lost a piece of our future as a district,” Sullivan said. Swan is survived by her husband and two children, ages eight and 11.

A lawyer acting for the proprietor of a Kamloops marijuana compassion club raided by RCMP in November 2011 has filed a constitutional challenge against the law, arguing it prevents those prescribed medical marijuana from accessing a safe and tested drug. The constitutional challenge has been filed in provincial court in the case of Carl Anderson and Wesley Jenkins, both of whom face charges of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking after police found about three kilograms of pot on the premises. The challenge is slated to be heard in provincial court on March 3. The trials of the two men begin on Monday, Feb. 17. “Every other plant is governed by the Food and Drug Act regulations,” said lawyer Shawn Buckley.

CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGE BEGINS By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

PORT COQUITLAM — A former Merritt man who was found not criminally responsible for killing his three children poses too great a risk to be allowed into the community, a psychiatrist told a review hearing on Wednesday, Feb. 12. The board has reserved decision following the hearing. Allan Schoenborn is applying for escorted absences from a psychiatric hospital near Vancouver, nearly six years after he killed his three kids at their home in Merritt. The crime prompted a manhunt in the woods surrounding the community and ended when Schoenborn was found by a local hunter. Dr. Marcel Hediger told a B.C. Review Board hearing that Schoenborn hasn’t suffered from delusional symptoms for three years and has not been involved in any significant violent incidents during the past year. However, Hediger added, Schoenborn has been the victim of violence while in the hospital and has had angry outbursts, including one

a few days ago when he threatened to smash in another patient’s face. Given these incidents occurred in the lowstress, highly managed environment of a psychiatric hospital, Hediger said he is concerned about what could happen if Schoenborn is allowed into the unpredictable environment of the outside world. “The main issue at this point is the risk of violence and the risk of a violent incident,’’ Hediger said. Schoenborn’s lawyer, Scott Hicks, also stressed there has been “no evidence of significant violence in a number of years.’’ Schoenborn stabbed his daughter Kaitlynne, 10, and then smothered his sons, eight-year-old Max and five-year-old Cordon, in April 2008.

Conservatives backtrack on income splitting

Kamloops Coun. Nelly Dever wants visitors to have a better first impression of the city when they arrive at the airport.

ROLLING OUT A WARMER WELCOME MAT By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

“Does this make you feel like you’ve just arrived at the Tournament Capital?” Coun. Nelly Dever asks. Across the road, Kamloops Airport is relatively quiet on this chilly weekday morning. At her back, an empty field is capped in a thick layer of snow. Despite the cold, Dever would call that an improvement — visitors normally get an eyeful of brown grass. “You come out here at certain times of the year and it’s not very welcoming,” she says. But, for visitors to Kamloops, the field and the white tanks of the petroleum-storage facility next door are the first impressions of the city. On Tuesday, Feb. 18, Kamloops city council will sign off on the membership of a new committee Dever hopes can roll out a better welcome mat. Over the next year or so, the 11-member Tranquille Road Beautification Task Force will look for ways to spruce up the stretch of road between Airport Road and Desmond Street. Dever, who will sit on the committee alongside Mayor Peter Milobar and CAO David Trawin, already has a list of ideas.

Like many Kamloops complaints, the issue is in part about sidewalks. Drivers headed from Eighth Street to the Brock Shopping Centre look out their windows at sidewalks and bus shelters. “But, as soon as that’s done, all of a sudden you feel you’re in a completely different city,” Dever says. Putting in a sidewalk might solve the problem, but that solution has its own issue — a price tag no one at city council likes. Last fall, city staff presented a plan for improving the area that would see the city install a sidewalk and multi-use path on the remainder of Tranquille Road, bury the area’s hydro lines, build a public plaza and plant 256 trees. The budget for roads and pathways alone was pegged at almost $4 million. The entire package would have come in at $24 million. It was shot down immediately. “That may come in 20 or 30 years,” Dever says. “But, what I want to look at is what can we do and work with what we have.” For now, that means finding a way to tie the neighbourhood together without the sidewalk and with all its hydro poles still in place. Dever’s solution? More boulders, less gravel, to start.

She suggests extending the shoulders of the road instead of leaving several feet of city-owned gravel, to make the area friendlier for cyclists and pedestrians. Farther up the road, the green space between the airport fence and the road could be xeriscaped, with large rocks breaking up the brown. Some art on the petroleum tanks wouldn’t hurt, either. Dever also has plans for the land the city owns at the corner of Tranquille Road and Aviation Way, including some sort of sign that would let people know it’s not the turnoff to the airport, and improvements to the spacious but bare transit stops between Desmond Street and the airport. She also hopes Communities in Bloom, which will have a representative on the committee, will have some planting ideas to improve the area. While Dever hopes the plan will make the area more appealing to visitors, she says it should benefit the Brocklehurst neighbourhood just as much. “This is a project that isn’t for a specialty group,” she said. “This is a project for the community at large. It doesn’t matter which demographic you come from, whether it’s business or recreation. It hits every one of those targets.” The task force will start meeting in early March, and is expected to have about a one-year term.

OTTAWA — Finance Minister Jim Flaherty expressed doubt that expanding incomesplitting for tax purposes is the best way to spend a surplus he expects to deliver ahead of the next election. Income splitting for families with dependents under the age of 18 was a promise the governing Conservatives made in the last election, but were unable to fulfil as they fell into a fiscal hole during the recession. However, Flaherty’s latest budget projects a $6.4-billion surplus in 2015, just in time for the coming election. But, he said he thinks blowing part of that money on a promise that’s expected to cost about $2.5 billion is not the way to go. “I would pay down public debt and reduce taxes more, myself, but I am only one person,’’ he said in a post-budget interview before the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce. “There’s a tendency among politicians to always — regardless of political stripe — to always want to throw baubles out the window and pretty things — ‘Look over here’ — you know,’’ he said with a laugh. Flaherty said federal governments have lost their way over the last 50 years and became spendthrifts.

Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod trumpeted a forecasted return to balanced books in Ottawa following the introduction this week of federal budget by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty. But, the Opposition NDP said the books are being manipulated to boost next year’s Conservative election campaign. Flaherty’s 10th federal budget all but balances the books this fiscal year, leaving a negligible $2.9-billion shortfall heading into the 20152016 election year — when Prime Minister Stephen Harper will go to the electorate sporting a surplus that could exceed $6 billion. “The most important part is a very clear plan to get back to a balanced budget with the last deficit this year,” McLeod said. Actual new spending amounts to a just $700 million — exactly the amount the government expects to raise from new tobacco taxes — against spending cuts that top $2 billion. Sam Aggarwal, who operates McGoo’s Smokes N Stuff on Tranquille Road in North Kamloops, predicted smokers will complain about a $4 per carton hike for cigarettes. Taxes will also rise on cigars and chewing tobacco. “Customers will get used to it,” the retailer predicted. “They’ll complain for a week and get used to it.” McLeod defended the increase in tobacco taxes. “I don’t think it’s [budget] being balanced on the backs of smokers. “It’s being done on having an economy that will grow and [constraining] government spending.” The MP said past experience has shown as taxes go up, smoking goes down — providing a public health benefit. The Opposition NDP called it “Harper’s do-nothing budget,” saying Conservatives are worrying more about their own election chances than helping Canadians. Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo NDP president Garry Worth said the federal government should be

working to help families struggling financially, boosting environmental protection and extending affordablehousing provisions. “The Conservatives are going ahead with cuts and closures and not standing up for British Columbians” Worth said. “This is politics at its worst — telling people to wait until an election year for the help they need now.” NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, who will be in Kamloops on Friday, Feb. 14, said the budget does little to help Canadians. “There’s nothing in this budget that will create jobs and that’s the issue because that’s one of the first priorities for Canadians,’’ Mulcair said. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said the deficit is being slashed “on the backs of workers’’ due to a fat surplus in the employment insurance account. “This government has run out of ideas and is demonstrating it once again.’’ Flaherty defended the modest budget as a necessity. “Some people will say this budget is boring; I consider that a compliment,’’ he said. McLeod also noted measures to increase rural broadband coverage and to provide internship funding to help freshly graduated students get entry into the workplace through an employment subsidy. Net government spending is forecasted to fall slightly in 2014-2015. “The extent of the cuts to direct program spending are very substantial, yet we knew the government had to downsize from the recession stimulus or there was no way we could handle the aging baby boom generation,’’ said Mary Webb, senior economist at Scotiabank. “There’s actual good, hard reasons for why they’re doing this.’’ When the Conservatives came to office in 2006, Canada was spending 17 cents of every tax dollar on debt, down from more than 30 cents in the early 1990s. Last year, that was down to 11 cents and it should hit 10.5 cents this year. — with files from Canadian Press

Lawyer argues Mountie should have asked before search By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Clockwise from top left: Kaitlynne, 10, Max, 8, and Cordon, 5, were slain by their father, Allan Schoenborn, in 2008. He is applying for escorted absences from the Port Coquitlam psychiatric hospital in which he is being held.

Schoenborn sleeps 12 hours a day

A defence lawyer has argued Mounties unlawfully searched a minivan on Highway 5 North before seizing 72 pot plants because they didn’t ask the driver if he had a medical-marijuana permit. Corey Eld is charged with possession of marijuana after his minivan was pulled over by RCMP at a roadside stop in Barriere on Nov. 12, 2013. Defence lawyer John Conroy argued in Kamloops provincial court that Eld’s constitutional rights were breached because RCMP who smelled marijuana

The bodies of the children were later found by their mother, Darcie Clarke. He fled, only to be found a week later dehydrated in the woods, not far from the crime scene. A judge later concluded he was likely suffering from a psychotic state during the murders and was therefore not criminally responsible. Schoenborn has spent the subsequent years at a forensic hospital in Port Coquitlam, where his case is regularly reviewed by the B.C. Review Board. Schoenborn, who is in his mid-40s, has gained significant weight since his previous appearance before the review board. The hearing was told he sleeps about 12 hours a day and appears to have little interest in any activities. The children’s mother was not at the hearing, but Clarke’s cousin, Stacy Galt, and another family member watched the proceedings. The case fuelled public outrage in 2011 after the review board recommended Schoenborn be allowed supervised absences into the community, especially after it was revealed that Clarke was living in Port Coquitlam. Schoenborn later withdrew his request. Schoenborn’s case was cited by the federal government last year as it announced new restrictions designed to make it more difficult for “high-risk’’ mentally ill people to gain freedom.

In the back, a tarp covered a load from behind the front seats to the rear doors. “I believed the occupants were concealing something,” King said. “Based on the strong odour, I thought it was marijuana in the cargo area of the van.” Police arrested Eld, finding 72, onefoot-tall marijuana plants in the van.

Therefore, Conroy argued, the search was illegal. “It’s not difficult for the officer to say, ‘Do you have a permit?’” Conroy told judge Chris Cleaveley. “You don’t have grounds to believe he’s committing an offence until you know he doesn’t have a permit.” RCMP Const.

The watering down of Canada continues under our PM

F ONE NEEDS PROOF THE heavy hand wielded by the prime minister is cold, one need only look at the latest crisis to befall our MPs and their staff in Ottawa. The plants must go. Wasting lord knows how much time ferreting out the greenery some of the MPs — in particular, those devilish NDPers — had hidden away, Stephen Harper has decreed all plants are government property if they’re in government offices and far too costly to water on a regular basis. According to the CBC, the Department of Public Works downloaded the cost of watering the plants to various departments, which have to decide by April of 2015 if they will take on this onerous responsibility. Apparently, according to documentation, it costs the Department of National Defence alone $300,000 a year to keep those green things green. The House of Commons, one such “department,” has decided it isn’t going to do this and will instead sell the plants online. Many plants have already been sold in this way and, according to the memo issued by the House’s sergeantat-arms, were “escorted by House of Commons employees” out of their cubbyholes, nooks and window sills — to where? It’s hard to say since one would assume anyone can buy a plant through the online process. I doubt these employees are going to hitch a ride on a plane to ensure the plants make it to their destination — but who knows? Apparently MPs and staff can bring

DALE BASS Street LEVEL in their own plants, but they have to water them. Which begs the question — why can’t they do that for the plants already there? Just wondering. We shouldn’t be surprised, however, since it became apparent last year that nothing is sacred to Harper. Take his Fahrenheit 451 policy on books. Books are bad, apparently, so bad we must rid our libraries of them. Hence the closure of seven of the 11 Department of Fisheries and Oceans libraries, which saw books simply tossed into dumpsters. The remaining four DFO libraries are split between B.C. and Nova Scotia. A flatbed truck was required to carry away the history of Canadian water, as had been collected by the Freshwater Institute at the University of Manitoba. While Harper’s helpers have insisted the works are being digitized, late last year, Mike D’Souza, Postmedia News’s former parliamentary reporter

on the environment — he was one of four of the chain’s reporters in its Parliament bureau to be laid off last week — accessed a document marked as “secret” that said the books are to be culled and that the savings would be about $450,000 a year. Let’s be fair — when the Citizenship and Immigration Library was shut down by the Harper government in 2012, the documents were scanned but, because they were all written by third parties, copyright law precluded the government’s right to store those digitized versions. Instead, the virtual library is now housed in a private facility in Laval, Que. The government says it can still access them online when it needs to — but, I wonder what the cost is to do so. Perhaps our MP, Cathy McLeod, can shed some light on that. Earlier this year, it was revealed even more government departments will be eliminating or consolidating — whatever that means — their libraries, The list includes Health Canada, the Transportation Safety Board, Parks Canada, the Public Service Commission, the Canadian Revenue Agency, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada and the Canadian Transportation Agency. That’s a lot of information at risk and yet another reason to be concerned about what Canada will be once the Harper regime comes to an end. Unlike a plant, it’s easy to destroy a book — but not so easy to bring it back to life again. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Go, Canada, go, go, go — when it is convenient Last week, International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach referred to Russia’s stance on homosexuality as a political issue and chastised countries who were using the Olympics to shine an unflattering light on Russian President Vladimir Putin. This comment shows how out of touch the IOC hierarchy is with the real world. Equality is not a political issue — it is a fundamental human right. Equality should exist regardless of political stripe. In an attempt to not offend Putin, Bach missed an opportunity to show support for the athletes he represents. Without the athletes, there would be no Olympic Games, there would be no IOC and Bach would be doing something else. But, the blame lies not only with the president of the IOC. Canadian Olympic Committee president Marcel Aubut encouraged Canadian athletes to park their opinions at the door and focus on competing and winning. The athletes themselves have also missed an important opportunity. Some Canadian athletes have said the matter is distracting and they need to focus on their competition. In other words, doing or saying anything at the moment is inconvenient. Life is inconvenient. Things happen all the time. How convenient is it right now to be an LGBTQ athlete or citizen in Russia? On the other hand, the Olympic team from Greece wore rainbow-coloured gloves. Kudos to them for a simple, but, important gesture.

Minister Bennett worse than a paid lobbyist Editor: To call Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett a paid lobbyist for the mining industry is too kind. Lobbyists hold a respected role in society, much like salesmen, and they come from the private sector. Bennett is much, much worse. Bennett travelled to Ottawa to pro-

mote approval of the Prosperity Mine proposal in the Cariboo. In the 2013 provincial-election campaign, Prosperity proponent Taseko donated $100,000 to the B.C. Liberals and $5,000 to Bennett’s campaign. What would happen to the Ajax proposal in Kamloops if proponent KGHM was to donate large sums to Bennett’s

electoral hopes? Bennett surely knows KGHM is buying up property and other owners’ mineral claims, which will allow the proposed Ajax mine to incrementally spread the operation west from the Coquihalla Highway, east to Highway 5A and south to the Lac Le Jeune and the South Thompson River.

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett is under the scrutiny of many Kamloops residents opposed to the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine.

“Nearly a billion dollars in road infrastructure upgrades in this budget — for provincial roads in Ontario and Quebec. “The Trans-Canada Highway in B.C. remains a deadly, twolane goat trail.” —posted by Albert Speer

Apropos Bennett’s ethical confusion, what can we say about MP Cathy McLeod’s sign on the east side of the Coquihalla Highway, just west of Kamloops, which sits on KGHM land? Dennis Karpiak internist respirologist Kamloops

Will minister also lobby in favour of Ajax mine?

“I think Donovan Cavers is, overall, better than most. “In November, I hope more Caversminded people will get elected to council.” — posted by Lyman Duff

Re: Story: Another traffic death nears Hoffman’s Bluff:

There is probably room in there for a smelter as well, don’t you think? But, Bennett, as mines minister, already knows about the relentless KGHM land acquisition taking place for future mining expansion as soon as the company get its foot in the door. I don’t think KGHM is buying up Knutsford to put in a theme park.

Editor: Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett has been pressuring Ottawa to approve the proposed Prosperity mine against the advice of two federal environmental reviews. I shudder to think what he and the KGHM Ajax bunch are cooking up behind the scenes in Kamloops. It smells like dirty politics. Trust? I think not! Claudette Laffey Kamloops

Bylaws officer’s actions exacerbated problem Editor: On Feb. 4 I drove my kids to Aberdeen elementary. Dropping your children off and parking is always a challenge as there is only one road accessing the school, with very limited parking. I was surprised to see one of our bylaw officers making the problem worse. Not only did the officer take one of the very few parking spots, but she sat in her truck with the engine idling in front of the sign that states: “No idling — young lungs at work.” I would like to suggest that, in the future, the bylaw officer park a few blocks away and stand in front of the school, which would enable her to issue tickets as she sees fit. I am sure the goal of the officer is to relieve congestion at the school, but these actions only contributed to the problem. Paul Murphy Kamloops

Moving casino would be good move Editor: Relocating Lake City Casino to the former Rona building in Versatile would be better in a lot of ways. One big plus is that casino owner Gateway Entertainment would not have to build its own new building it had planned to construct on the property behind its current home in Hotel 540 downtown. That would leave a vacant lot the city could purchase for the new downtown parkade. Maybe a deal could be made dependent on getting the licence to move the casino; maybe some money on land costs could be saved. Just a thought. Brenda Oryschak Kamloops

COVER PAGE STORIES Carl Anderson as he was being arrested in November 2011 at his Tranquille Road compassion club. Lawyer Shawn Buckley has filed a constitutional challenge in the cases of Anderson and Wesley Henkins, both of whom face charges of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking after police found about three kilograms of pot on the premises. Buckley is arguing the law prevents those prescribed medical marijuana from accessing a safe and tested drug. KTW file photo

Pot-law challenge focus on Charter X From A1

However, marijuana is lumped in under the Controlled Drug and Substances Act, which forbids its testing and sale. The constitutional challenge argues the act violates section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the section that guarantees Canadians the right to life, liberty and security of the person. Buckley argues Canada’s marijuana laws violate the security of person because it puts patients who require medicinal marijuana at risk — there is no practical way to test its safety nor complex chemical requirements without assistance and expertise of compassion clubs. The document outlines Anderson’s experiences with medical marijuana and his persecution by police, which on one occasion raided and seized marijuana from his legal growop licensed by Health Canada. Anderson suffered a head injury in 1997. The court document states efforts by physicians to medicate him were ineffective and caused depression. That resulted in constant pain and suicidal thoughts.

“Mr. Anderson began experimenting with marihuana and marihuana derivatives to find a way to manage this pain while at the same time being sober and coherent . . . He stopped taking pharmaceutical drugs for pain . . . He was no longer suicidal,” the court document states. When Kamloops RCMP erroneously raided the legal grow-op at Anderson’s home in 2009, police deprived him of his marihuana and caused him stress, the court document alleges, noting that resulted in Anderson’s colitis going out of control. He twice required surgery, including removal of his colon and a repair to his leaky digestive tract. Following that raid, Anderson formed the Canadian Safe Cannabis Society. Beforehand, the court document states, he had purchased pot that was mouldy or didn’t contain the chemical ingredients he needed to control his disease. Anderson was also robbed when he purchased pot from a drug dealer. Anderson’s compassion club on Tranquille Road in North

Kamloops was testing and supplying marijuana to those licensed by Health Canada to possess marihuana or who “had demonstrated through their doctors a medical need,” the court document notes. Buckley said Canada’s laws work two ways: All drugs and supplements — other than marijuana — require strict testing. If it’s not done, those who produce it face legal action. But, for marijuana, that testing brought the raid by the RCMP and charges against the two men. “If the law causes illegal behaviour, if that person must break the law to protect their health, then the law violates the principles of fundamental justice,” the challenge argues. Buckley has also challenged the right of police to obtain a search warrant to raid the compassion club, arguing it violated the men’s Charter rights. The challenge is being heard in provincial court, something Buckley said is a disappointment because it means an additional appeal step if the judge’s decision is argued by either losing side.

Death occurred after vehicle left Highway 1 X From A1

According to the RCMP, Swan’s 42-year-old husband was driving the minivan eastbound on Highway 1 when he lost control of the vehicle in the slush when attempting to pass another vehicle. The vehicle left the road and entered the ditch, coming to a final rest on its side, partially submerged in a slough. Police say the husband and his two sons were able to escape from the vehicle, but Jennifer Swan was submerged and lost consciousness. She had to be cut out of her seatbelt and

removed from the vehicle. Emergency personnel and passing motorists preformed life-saving procedures and restored a pulse; however, Swan died after being taken to Chilliwack General, then Royal Columbian hospital in New Westminster. Police say the primary investigation noted weather and road conditions were contributing factors, though speed, vehicle mechanics and driver error have not yet been ruled out. Police say visibility was considered poor when passing other vehicles due to vehicle spray.

MORTGAGE MATTERS The Annual Mortgage Check-up For many Canadians, a mortgage is a once-every-five-year-chore. Fears about rates, costs and changes make this as enjoyable as paying taxes. However, a mortgage should be a tool to help you reach your goals, and that means planning. Life changes often dictate different mortgage strategies: are you starting or growing a family, starting a business, experiencing loss or interruption of income, planning home renovations, purchasing investment property or facing other major expenditures? A mortgage review can assess if your current mortgage’s interest rate, payments and options will help reach your goals. Low interest rates make it a good time for homeowners to give their mortgage a second look. Here are some common reasons to revisit your mortgage: •Paying down your mortgage faster: If you receive extra cash like an inheritance, tax refund or a work bonus, think about putting it toward your mortgage. For example, paying an extra $3,000 once every year toward the principal on a $250,000 mortgage can result in interest savings of $42,442 over the life of the mortgage, assuming a 25-year amortization and a fixed rate of 4.19%. •Lowering monthly payments: Renegotiating for a lower interest rate or higher amortization can protect your finances from unforeseen expenses, reduced income, and allow you to save up a rainy day fund. •Debt consolidation: Boost your cash flow or pay down your debt faster by taking high interest debt like a credit card balance and consolidating it into your mortgage. Your debt moves from multiple high payments, into one lower mortgage payment. Most lenders allow extra payments of 20% per year, so pay more when you have more! •Securing a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): A HELOC can help you access lower-cost funds for investing, such as topping up your RRSP or TFSA contribution. It can also help you pay for home improvement projects or just be available for peace of mind. •Improving credit: A mortgage professional can discuss any credit concerns or issues and coach you on how to improve your credit score. Good credit advice can help you work toward cheaper future borrowing costs and better mortgage options. •Identifying concerns: Mortgages are supposed to work for you. If you are unsure about specific mortgage functions or benefits, an annual check-up can be a great time to discuss concerns, learn how to set up extra payments, change your payment date and more. In the end, a yearly mortgage checkup could reveal that the best course of action is no change at all… there is satisfaction in knowing that as well! Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today.

MONEY MATTERS

Don’t let critical illness impact retirement savings

ETTING SICK ISN’T something most of us think much about — and Joe was no exception, until he had a stroke when he was 45 years old. Today, thanks to medical advances and healthy living, Joe is recovering and getting on with his life. Unfortunately, his retirement plans will take longer to recover because Joe did not include critical-illness insurance in his financial plan. Getting sick isn’t something any of us like to think about but, it can happen. In fact, your risk of being diagnosed with a critical illness before age 65 is higher than your risk of dying in that time. As Joe discovered, treating and coping with illness can mean significant and often unexpected costs that may not be covered by provincial or employer health plans. Critical-illness insurance can help you pay the expenses associated with getting sick by providing a cash benefit if you’re diagnosed with one of the conditions defined in your contract and you survive the waiting period. With the cash benefit, you can: • Hire a nurse or caregiver to help you at home; • Pay off your mortgage; • Receive income when you can’t work or your partner takes a leave of absence from his or her job to assist you; • Help protect your retirement plans; • Help manage business expenses; • Take a vacation or reduce your workload to help you recover.

Planning is critical

Critical-illness insurance is part of a good financial strategy as it helps you to plan for the unexpected. No one anticipates getting sick. And, if you’re for-

tunate enough to live a long and healthy life, many critical-illness plans offer return-ofpremium options that can give you some or all of your money back. The critical-illness insurance market is growing in Canada and many companies now offer this type of “living-benefit” insurance. With so many many plans to choose from, how can you decide which one is right for you? As you evaluate the various options, consider choosing a critical illness policy that offers: • Coverage for the conditions that pose the greatest threat to your health and present the most-significant recovery demands and the greatest financial challenges • A partial benefit if your condition isn’t life-threatening, but is life-altering. There are plans that give you 25 per cent of your coverage (up to a maximum of $50,000) for conditions not normally covered by other criticalillness products. • The ability to receive a portion of your benefit up front so your recovery can begin sooner. Some plans offer a recovery benefit of 10 per cent of your coverage (up to maximum of $10,000) that helps you get some benefits faster, without having to fulfill the waiting period

Significant impact on retirement savings Many people who

get sick have no choice but to turn to their savings to pay their medical costs. For some, this means tapping into their retirement savings to finance their recovery. As you can imagine, this can significantly impact your financial plan and retirement strategy. It may mean working longer and putting off retirement or

accepting a diminished lifestyle during retirement. The point is that many people do not plan to get sick and, therefore, may not budget for it. Joe had planned to retire comfortably at 65. The cost of Joe’s recovery exceeded $100,000. The price of new therapies and other medical costs and Joe’s

inability to work fulltime for an extended period contributed to his soaring expenses. Joe came up with the money to pay the bills by dipping into his retirement savings. Joe and his wife, Mary, had a plan in place to retire, but Joe’s unexpected illness took them off course. They had contributed to their registered

retirement savings plans (RRSPs) each year and had started accumulating money in non-registered savings accounts as well. Unfortunately, their plan is now unrealistic. With additional unexpected expenses and the RRSP withdrawals they made because of Joe’s illness, Joe and Mary won’t be able to live the lifestyle they expected in retirement.

Talk to your advisor

Critical-illness insurance is an investment that can give you the comfort of knowing that, if you get sick, you can focus on what really matters —getting better. Talk to your advisor for more information and to discuss the costs of critical-illness insurance based on your specific circumstances.

Your Retirement Plan must contain 3 key ingredients.

• Flexibility – to be able to change your investments As your Personal needs change, As tax laws change, As the economy changes. • A co-ordinated use of both Asset Allocation and Sector Management, to take advantage of both the ups and downs in the markets. • A return that equals or betters the projected return in your Plan or your Plan will not achieve your goals.

HERE IS SOMETHING about waterfalls that calms the spirit. If you need some peace of mind, spend the day in Wells Gray Provincial Park. Nicknamed Canada’s Waterfalls Park, Wells Gray has 39 waterfalls within its boundaries and many more if you count the numerous creeks that cascade down the mountainsides. It was named after Minister of Lands Arthur Wellesley Gray, who recognized the growing need to preserve special places in British Columbia. In 1939, a forest ranger near Clearwater, Bill Noble, recommended the area be turned into a

park and, on Nov. 28, 1939, Gray passed an order-in-council creating a huge park around most of the drainage basin of the Clearwater River. After a quick stop at the tourist centre to pick up a free map, make your way to Spahats Creek Falls, a 197-foot-tall waterfall on Spahats Creek that drops into the Granite Canyon of the Clearwater River. Spahats is the First Nations term for bear and the creek was called Bear Creek in the 1950s — but, due to the large number of Bear Creeks in B.C., the name Spahats was adopted in the late 1960s. From there, drive a little farther up the road until you reach the trail head for Moul Falls. A one-hour hike will take you to the third-highest waterfall in the park and the only one people can stand

HOW TO GET THERE

FROM KAMLOOPS: Drive north on Highway 5 to Clearwater, a trip approximately 90 minutes from Kamloops. FOR MORE INFORMATION: To watch a video on Wells Gray Park or to discover other interesting day trips in our area, visit Teresa’s website at WhereToGoAndHowToGetThere.com.

behind. It was named after Charlie Moul, one of the areas earliest settlers (he left Clearwater Valley in 1914 to serve in the First World War and never returned). People can walk behind the falls to view them from inside a large cave. Although the experience will leave you soaked, it is well worth it.

The next major stop is Dawson Falls, where a 10-minute walk will get you to the main viewpoint and another couple minutes will get you to the top of the waterfall. At Dawson Falls, the Murtle River drops over lava flows dating back about 20,000 years. Next, stop for a picnic lunch at Helmcken Falls. This 463-foot waterfall on the Murtle River is the fourth-tallest in Canada and one of the reasons for the creation of Wells Gray Park. This name honours John Sebastian Helmcken, a physician with the Hudson’s Bay Company who arrived in Victoria in 1850. He helped bring British Columbia into Confederation in 1871. Helmcken died in 1920 at the age of 95, but never saw the falls that

bear his name. The falls are a must-see in the winter, when the area surrounding the foot of the falls freezes and the water drops into a basin of snow. If you are visiting in the fall, the highlight of your day will no doubt be the next stop, Bailey’s Chute, where countless chinook salmon attempt to jump the falls on their way to their spawning grounds. The road ends at Clearwater Lake — one of six large lakes in the park. It got its name from the Overlanders rafting expedition to the Cariboo goldfields in 1862. When they arrived at the mouth of the Clearwater River, they noted its distinct clarity compared to the muddy North Thompson and named it Clear Water. The river’s name was later extended to the lake.

Man’s best friend needs own seat Const. Kathy Prentice of Kamloops RCMP’s integrated road safety unit is concerned over repeated distracted driving on the streets of the Tournament Capital. To mark February’s distracteddriving month, she shares her experience: Why do I see so many people driving around Kamloops with a dog in their lap? Not only is it illegal, but dangerous. Don’t make me describe where the pooch ends up when air bags deploy.

Most people I question about this practice tell me the dog is under control and doesn’t obstruct their view, but it’s not only your view you should be concerned with. What happens if you suddenly slam the brakes and the dog goes under your feet? What if the dog falls out the window while hanging out its head? How can a driver be focused on the driving when a dog is in their lap?

Section 195 of the Motor Vehicle Act gives police officers authority to stop and issue violation tickets to those caught having a dog of any size on their lap. We would like to see drivers make the right decision without us having to write a ticket. February is distracted-driving enforcement month. Keep in mind, distractions are not limited to cellphones and electronic devices, but pets, too.

Sicamous woman killed in crash near Hoffman’s Bluff Another accident in the Hoffman’s Bluff area near chase has claimed a life. A 25-year-old Sicamous woman driving a car eastbound on Highway 1 on Monday, Feb. 10, apparently crossed the centre line, colliding with a westbound Ford pickup truck. The woman, who was alone in her vehicle, died at the

scene, while the two occupants of the truck were treated at the scene and taken to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. RCMP Const. Tony Clack said roads were in wintery conditions with some slippery sections. He said alcohol does not appear to be a factor, though the victim’s vehicle had all-season tires, not winter treads.

The name of the victim is being withheld pending notification of family. The accident occurred at about 11:45 a.m., approximately 11 kilometres west of Chase. The crash scene is in the same general area of an accident that claimed two lives less than two weeks ago. On Jan. 31, on Highway 1

about two kilometres west of Chase, two men from Ontario — 59-year-old Mehmed Fazlic and 43-year-old Slobodan Katic — died when their eastbound semi-truck collided with a westbound rig. Investigators have determined Fazlic was behind the wheel at the time of the collision, while Katic was in the rig’s sleeping compartment.

TRU’s women in trades program gets financial boost RBC Foundation has committed to giving Thompson Rivers University $700,000 for its women in trades program. The financial commitment was announced on campus on Wednesday, Feb. 12. The money will go to a $3,000 bursary for seven students a year for a decade. Criteria will include need, academic performance and commitment. It will also go to a leadership-training program for volunteer mentors, a team of six women including students, apprentices and journey persons, to help guide women in trades programs and to fund a mentorship co-ordinator position. For Kayla Goertzen, a mother of three, the

support from RBC means that, instead of worrying about her disabled daughter’s future

or poor health affecting her husband’s ability to work steadily, she can concentrate on learning

the principals of the piping trade. A practical-minded 32-year-old, Kayla said

she’ll move her family wherever they need to be so she can have a job applying her new trade.

“This support from RBC is going to make sure I can help provide for our family. A steady

job in a skilled trade is going to make all the difference for our family.”

The request comes from the TRU Student Union (TRUSU), which will ask the board of governors at its Friday, February meeting, to affiliate with the Worker Rights Consortium, an independent labourrights monitoring organization. In its eight-page presentation, TRUSU said 3,000 students, as well as faculty and staff, have signed a document calling on the board. The submission notes TRU spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on apparel purchases every year and the affiliation would follow the university’s strategic plan to be committed to “socially responsible economic development” and to “incorporate international perspectives and increase awareness of global issues.”

The 17-year-old males were arraigned in TroisRivieres, Que. The victims have been identified as sisters aged 22 and 17 and a 17-year-old boy. Their bodies were found in a house in TroisRivieres on Tuesday, Feb. 11. Local police said they intercepted two youths moments after they had allegedly emerged from a home.

The art of securing your creation in the Internet age By Mary Agnes Welch CANADIAN PRESS

WINNIPEG — First it was hanging on Winnipeg artist Kal Barteski’s living room wall. Then it turned up on a high-end purse in a Florida JC Penney department story. Then it hit Twitter and all turned out OK. The strange journey of Barteski’s graphic, black-and-white painting, which she said was copied without her permission by a well-known Canadian clothier, highlights the struggle artists face in the Internet age as they battle for compensation for unauthorized reproductions of their work. “I don’t want to dedicate half my week to finding out who is stealing things,’’ Barteski said. “I want to dedicate my time to making things.’’ The 1.2-metre by 1.8-metre painting, which features the phrase “When you love what you have, you have everything you need’’ in paintbrush script, hung in Barteski’s home for years before it was sold a few weeks ago. It also appeared on her website. A friend shopping at a JC Penney store in Port Charlotte, Fla., earlier this week spotted a purse emblazoned with Barteski’s painting.

The friend snapped a photo, emailed it to Barteski, bought the purse and dropped in the mail so Barteski could scrutinize it herself. The paint-splatter effect around many letters are the same, one word is missing the same G and Barteski’s signature, reduced to a squiggly line because the reproduction was poor quality, can also be seen inside a capital D. JC Penney said it had just been informed of the issue and had no comment. The bag was manufactured by Call it Spring, a division of the Montreal-based retailer the Aldo Group. Barteski took both JC Penney and Call it Spring to task on her blog, accusing them of stealing her work. She said she may have to hire a lawyer to protect her intellectual property rights. “If someone came into my house and stole the four-by-six-foot original painting of this, it would be theft and things would be done. But, the Internet is a different soup,’’ she wrote. Though it’s a backhanded compliment that her design is viewed as commercially lucrative, Barteski said she is another example of an artist whose livelihood is undermined by unauthorized use. “If my work is good enough to steal, then

why wouldn’t it be good enough to collaborate on and do something legal?’’ she asked. By the end of Tuesday, Feb. 11, that’s what happened. Barteski’s blog created a mini-Twitter storm. She said she talked with Call it Spring’s design, marketing and legal staff, who offered her a reasonable cut of the profits from the purse. She said they also said they were interested in her other designs and future collaborations. “I felt like they understood and were

trying to make it right,’’ she said. “I do feel a lot better after talking to them today.’’ Staff at the Aldo Group did not return calls to Canadian Press. Three years ago, Barteski discovered a Vancouver store was selling poor-quality downloads of another image from her online gallery for $25. After a little sleuthing, she said she found her image had been downloaded more than 1.5-million times and was displayed on tote bags, coffee mugs and necklaces all over the world.

Life sentence for slaying

Teachers and other government union members rally at the B.C. legislature in March 2012 during a brief strike authorized by the Labour Relations Board. Black Press file photo

Roger Badour eligible for parole in 10 years A long-term sex offender who has admitted shooting his landlady twice in the head in Princeton has been sentenced to life in prison in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops. Sixty-five-year-old Roger Badour pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and will not be eligible for parole for 10 years. In December, Badour blurted out in B.C. Supreme Court that he killed Gisele Duckham in November 2011.

Negotiator: Goal was to provoke strike By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

tfletcher@blackpress.ca

VICTORIA — The B.C. government’s negotiator admitted in court his strategy in 2012 negotiations with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation was to provoke a full-scale strike. NDP critics launched their return to the B.C. legislature this week with questions about a transcript from the most recent BCTF court challenge over control of class size and support staff. It shows government negotiator Paul Straszak said provoking a full-scale strike was designed to move the union from its months-long ban on extra-curricular activities that started in the fall of 2011. Asked by the BCTF lawyer if the strategy was to close schools with a full-scale walkout, which had been authorized by the

Labour Relations Board to last up to a week, Straszak replied, “I’ll say yes.” Straszak described his briefing for John Dyble, Premier Christy Clark’s deputy minister, before a cabinet meeting. “So, what we’re talking about here is cabinet is going to be in an awkward situation in the context of a low-scale strike, meaning it’s going to want to put an end to it, but the public won’t necessarily see the need for the legislation because the kids are still in school,” Straszak told the court. Straszak said the teachers’ work-to-rule action “was having a really significant impact on education” and the increase in pressure was part of the “political dynamic” of the long-running dispute. In the legislature on Wednesday, Feb. 12, NDP

Leader Adrian Dix called on Clark to explain the strategy and release cabinet documents that were tabled in court, but not made public. Attorney General Suzanne Anton said the Jan. 27 decision of B.C. Supreme Court is being appealed and refused to comment further. NDP education critic Rob Fleming said the premier and Education Minister Peter Fassbender have commented publicly on the decision in media interviews and in letters sent to all teachers. In her ruling, Justice Susan Griffin concluded the B.C. government did not bargain in good faith with the BCTF. She struck down legislation restricting teacher bargaining of classroom conditions and imposed a $2-million penalty on the government.

NORTH VANCOUVER — A West Vancouver-based charity is helping to turn a dream of long-time North Shore Rescue leader Tim Jones into reality. The Charros Foundation has matched all donations raised since Jones’ death on Mount Seymour in January. A notice posted on the North Shore Rescue website says Ian and Rosemary Mottershead have presented a cheque

worth $118,000, bringing the Tim Jones Legacy Fund to just over $236,000. To ensure the fund

is sustainable, the group says only investment earnings will be used for operations and capital expenses, while the principal will be left alone. The group said sustainable search-and-rescue funding was always Jones’ dream. This is not the first significant donation to North Shore Rescue from the Charros Foundation. It also gave $250,000 to help members complete their rescue base in North Vancouver and augment the radio system.

Throne speech focuses on transportation By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The B.C. Liberal government will undertake a new transportation plan that will look at roads, transit and ferries over the next decade. The pledge was contained in Tuesday’s (Feb. 11) throne speech from the government. “From a transportation perspective . . . there’s a new commitment to create a new 10-year transportation vision,” Transportation Minister Todd Stone told KTW. Stone said aspects of that review will include the Pacific Gateway project, ferries, Vancouver Island transportation strategy and “refreshing transit. “It will provide a terrific opportunity to pull all these priorities together.” Stone said the plan will reaffirm $650-million worth of spending on the Pacific Gateway project, including four-laning the TransCanada Highway from Kamloops to the Alberta border. The B.C. Liberal government will also commit to a second phase of improving the Cariboo Connector, spending another $220 million on four-laning and passing lanes. The review will also look at transit needs. “Transit is critical. We’re seeing demands for transit in communities like Kamloops increase,” Stone said.

“Local governments are having challenges with funding and governance.” Meanwhile, the speech echoed Premier Christy Clark’s election campaign in promising to begin a 10-year skills-training plan to drive industrial development. Lt. Governor Judith Guichon read the speech in the ceremonial beginning of the B.C. legislature session. It touched on the B.C. Liberal government’s familiar themes, including the need to train and retain citizens to fill one-million jobs due to growth and babyboomer retirements in

told MLAs gathered for the first time in 2014. Employers and job seekers will be watching for details in the provincial budget, to be presented by Finance Minister Mike de Jong on Tuesday, Feb. 18. Opposition critics have focused on the government’s reductions of skills training and the shortage of spaces and equipment for industrial training. In education, the government renewed Clark’s goal of a personalized education plan for each student and “an agreement to ensure a decade of labour peace in our classrooms.”

Suu Kyi wants presidency — but may not get it

UNG SAN SUU KYI, Nobel Peace Prize winner and champion of Burmese democracy, declared last June she would run for president in the 2015 election. If she runs, she will surely win — she is to Burma what Nelson Mandela was to South Africa. However, as things now stand she is not legally allowed to run for president — and maybe she should see that as an opportunity to reconsider whether becoming president is the best use of her talents. Burma is part-way through a transition from a 50-year military dictatorship to democracy and Suu Kyi is the unquestioned leader of the democratic movement. Unless the military rigs or cancels next year’s election, her National League for Democracy (NLD) will certainly win a large majority in parliament in 2015. But, she has no executive experience of any kind. She doesn’t really have experience even

GWYNNE DYER World WATCH in leading a political party, although she was a co-founder of the NLD in 1988 and has always been its leader. She was under house arrest most of the time — and most of the party’s other leaders were in jail — so she was never challenged by rivals and never had to administer anything. Despite the fact she may be a wonderful natural leader, such people are rare. She is much more likely to be, like Mandela, an inspiring symbol of democracy with limited administrative skills. If so, she should rethink her position. The law that bans her from the presidency is clause 59F of the constitution that was 101- 929 LAVAL CRESCENT, KAMLOOPS

250-314-9923

written by the military in 2008, which states the spouse and children of a prospective president cannot owe their “allegiance to a foreign power.” It applies to her because her two sons with her late husband, the British academic Michael Aris, have British citizenship. This is not just an unfortunate coincidence: The law was written that way to ensure she could never become president. She presumably thought she had a deal to get rid of that clause when she agreed with current president and ex-general Thein Sein to run for parliament under the military-drafted constitution in late 2011. Under that deal, the NLD ran candidates in 45 byelections in April 2012 and won 43 of them. The NLD members took up their seats in parliament and the world concluded the democratic transition in Burma was real. So, the sanctions many Western countries maintained against the military

Maybe ASuu Kyi’s most useful role would be as party leader and moral authority, while somebody else gets down in the dirt and makes the day-to-day decisions that will eat away the popularity of even the most respected leader in the end.

has the right skills for the demanding job of executive president at a time of huge political and economic transformation? Maybe she should consider the example of Sonia Gandhi, the widow of India’s assassinated former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, who led the Congress Party to a resounding election victory in 2004. Gandhi could have become prime minister if she wanted, but she had a “foreign” problem too: She is an Indian citizen, but she was born and brought up Italian. So, she chose economist Manmohan Singh to be prime minister, a job he has done with reasonable efficiency for the past 10 years, while she remained Congress Party leader and kept it united behind him.

Suu Kyi has devoted half her adult life to bringing democracy to Burma, at great personal cost, and she clearly sees winning the presidency as the final validation of her long struggle. But, before she launches a battle over clause 59F that will use up all the political oxygen for the next year, she should ask herself if the presidency is really where she can be most useful. Is there nobody in her party, perhaps somebody a bit younger (she is 68), who

A parliamentaryreview committee with a majority of members from the generals’ tame political party reported last week it had received 30,000 submissions for changes, including more than 5,000 on the “Suu Kyi clause.” It just listed all the submissions, making no recommendations about them — except to say changes not requiring a referendum or that help to consolidate peace with Burma’s many armed ethnic minorities should be given priority. Changing clause 59F would require a referendum and it’s obviously not about rebel ethnic groups. It look like Suu Kyi has been had. When Sein was asked about the clause, he replied: “I would not want restrictions being imposed on the right of any citizen to become the leader of

Drug overdoses more common than you think

HE RECENT DEATH OF PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN DUE to a drug abuse has the topic of addiction swirling through the media again. And, the next time a prominent person dies of an overdose, the talk and handwringing will start all over again. Here are some sobering thoughts to remember: More than 250,000 people die each year in the U.S. and Canada from illegal drug overdoses — and, only a few of those deaths will be seen as a “loss” by their communities. Worse, there are even more deaths than this every year from overdoses on prescription drugs like OxyContin, Vicodin and Xanax — and these deaths are truly accidental,

not suicides. Legal and illegal drugs numb our ability to make healthy choices and seem to magnify the intensity of emotional or physical pain that does break through. It is easy to be fooled and to make mistakes about needing more, or higher, doses. It’s impossible to tell what is in illegally obtained drugs or what their potency might be. With legal painkillers, tolerance develops so that more and more of the drug is required to have the same medicinal impact. As a society, we tend to view death

general public that it is not just an issue for street-entrenched or homeless people. It is affecting the middle class, as well as the rich and famous, too. People like Betty Ford, Robert F. Kennedy and Whitney Houston are only a few of the hundreds of politicians, athletes and entertainers who had faced addiction. Maybe that is the message we need to

take away from the death of Hoffman: Addiction knows no class or racial barrier and leaves a path of destruction in social and economic terms. It does highlight the divide between the rich and poor, as far as our perceptions are concerned, in that we seem more willing to have sympathy for the famous than the unknown. Whether the root of a person’s addiction is the simple desire to manage pain from illness or injury or the desire to anesthetize emotions and memories, we can choose to understand that, in these people, there is

a possibility we could be looking at ourselves or someone we care about if circumstances were to change. If you know someone who is addicted, make it easy for the person to get help and hard for the person to get drugs. Give them help in terms of their health, not in terms of material possessions or cash that can be translated to their drug of choice. When someone is addicted, it is a drive more powerful than their love or care for you. They are not able to think clearly and their addiction is making the decisions.

If you are caught in a relationship with an addict and feel trapped, get help for yourself. Start with your doctor. This issue is so common, your physician will not judge you — and your mental and physical wellbeing is at stake.

Family Day emphasizes importance of family values, stretches into married lives

Marriage partnerships, succumbing to pressured pre-nuptial arrangements, speak with his thoughts of her — the most fitting attitude surely in which any man could meet about the flimsy nature of commitments. his bride. By way of contrast, the Old Testament I think it was British philosopher marriage union of Isaac to Rebecca (Genesis 24) is a dream too good to be true for young Herbert Spencer who pointed out that the first beauty which attracts us in a woman is people today. her beauty of face and form. When and how did Rebecca meet her Afterwards, we noticed her beauty of lover? It was such a beautiful beginning for mind. Last of all, on further acquaintance, their life together that the first sight she got of her future husband was when Isaac was at we find her beauty of character.

But, right on to old age, the attraction of tions about God as well as, no doubt, the

the beautiful soul remains and the dear old face is growing dearer and lovelier even to the end. Eliezer, the matchmaker, was not content with prettiness and brightness. He tested her further and his whole heart warmed to her as with delight he saw his test fulfilled. With glad heart he gave thanks to God. In his modesty he thought God did it for Abraham’s sake only. I think the prayers of that simple old man would have brought down a blessing if there were no Abraham at all. I do not forget this married life did not end as beautifully as it began. Thereby hangs another and different lesson. But, it does not affect the lesson of the beauty of a religious home life. Here are two old men, master and servant, living together in God’s presence, seeking together God’s guidance. They desired together, above all things, in the young bride that was to be, that she should be one approved of God. Then the son, who had been brought up in that practical faith, not of religious talk but of religious heroism and self-sacrifice, whose faith was so much a part of his life that even on the day he was expecting his bride, he did not miss out on his devotions and meditation before God.

Blessed is the home where faith is thus real. Blessed is the bride who goes to such a home. It is the fashion of the world now to make light of this. The bride or the groom, brought up in fashions of the world, does not bother to include faith in God in their ideas of a life partner. He is a very usual type, and so is she. They are the type from which come the ordinary careless home and the children following in parents’ footsteps. Christian young people contemplating marriage, resolve to be careful for each other’s lives. Marriage is the closest tie on earth, and your influence on each other will be strong and deep. Neither of you can “live unto himself.” A man is taking a woman’s life into his hands, and a woman is taking a man’s life into her hands. Neither can grow a little better or worse without influencing the other. What a poor thing to have to say in five years or so, “The one that I love best is in some degree worse for having married me.” But what a happy thing to be able to say, “Thank God, we are still walking handin-hand on the path that leads to all-round growth in Jesus Christ.” narayanmitra@hotmail.com

MARY WINIFRED MURDOCH May 19, 1921 ~ January 31, 2014 On January 31, 2014, Mary Winifred Murdoch passed away peacefully at age 92, with family by her side, at Kamloops Seniors Village, Kamloops, BC. She was predeceased by her husband Robert Andrew (Bob) Murdoch, sister Annie Amelia (Nan) Molley, brother Rev. Harry John Hill and granddaughter Ricky Murdoch. She is survived by her daughter Jeanette Scott (Dal) of Kamloops, BC, son Rob Murdoch of Big Sheep Creek, grandchildren Allison Scott (Trevor Caswell) of Kamloops, David Scott (Susan) of Vancouver, Jody Murdoch (Tanya Molle) of Fort Steele and great grandchildren Isabella and Pippa Scott of Vancouver and Olivia, Emily, Liam, Ava, Caden, Violet, Jacob, Layla and new born baby boy, Murdoch of Fort Steele, BC and nieces Carol Molley of Vancouver and Marie Stanger of Burnaby, BC. Mary was born on May 19, 1921, at the Zealander Farm, Harris Saskatchewan. After the death of their father, her mother Millie moved the family to Vancouver to open a corner store at Victoria Drive and 4th Ave. She met and married Bob and built a house and life together, enjoying roller skating, camping, rock hunting, lapidary, soapstone carving and square dancing, all over BC and Washington State. Mary was an avid collector but her particular favourite was gardening and seed saving. Mary and Bob were married for 58 years and she stayed in our family home on her own, until she was 89, then moved into a care facility at Granville Island, and then to Kamloops Seniors Village 18 months ago. A celebration of life will take place in the spring and she will join Bob in their Niche at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Burnaby, BC. Schoenings Funeral Service was entrusted with arrangements.

McPhail Gordon Thomas McPhail passed away peacefully in the the Royal Inland Hospital on February 4, 2014 at the age of 84. Tom was born in Belmont, Manitoba, on January 17, 1930. After farming in Manitoba and working in the forests of Northern Ontario, Tom worked his way across Canada at various jobs, including dairying in the B.C. Lower Mainland; building a retaining wall at Hell’s Gate, in the rugged Fraser Canyon; and putting up telegraph lines for CN Rail. In 1954, Tom started work for the BC Telephone Company in Kamloops, B.C. In 1958, Tom met Myrna in Merritt and the two were married in September, 1959. After a few years residing in Kamloops, Tom and Myrna moved to Merritt in 1962 where he continued to work with BC Tel and where he and Myrna owned and operated the Cottonwood Trailer Park in Lower Nicola until 2002. Tom and Myrna also ran the Cottonwood Store until the mid 1960s. Tom retired from BC Tel in 1985. During his retirement, Tom and Myrna traveled extensively throughout North America and would often spend winter months in Arizona. Tom enjoyed many activities including curling and golf; he continued to golf even last year. Tom will be lovingly remembered for his kind, gentle nature, his dry wit and wonderful sense of humor, his horsemanship, his entertaining rhymes and songs, his unwavering generosity and helpfulness. Tom is survived by his wife, Myrna, daughter, Linda Murray, son, Lowell McPhail, brother, Bob McPhail, and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Tom was a hardworking and devoted family man who will be greatly missed. At his request, rather than a service there will be a celebration of his life later this year.

He enjoyed being an active member of the Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Church. Mike was an avid golfer, loved to read and was a talented carpenter. He was also known as an “ace card player and a pool shark”. Mike was a great husband, father and friend who was well loved. His enduring smile, great sense of humor and strong work ethic will be deeply missed.

KEN FOWLES June 12, 1943 ~ February 6, 2014

After a lengthy struggle, in the early hours of February 6, 2014, Kenneth Cyril Fowles took his final journey home. Surrounded by his loving family, Ken peacefully passed in his sleep at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House. Ken was born on June 12th, 1943 to Edna and Slim Fowles. He was predeceased by both of his parents, and his sister Marion. Ken attended Kamloops Senior Secondary School, and went on to become a plumber/pipefitter. This took him on many travels across most of Western Canada. Later in his life, he decided to shift careers and work in security. Ken was a humorous and gentle man that made lasting friendships wherever he went, no matter what he was doing. Ken’s life was changed forever when he met Stephanie in 1959. They were good friends until they married in July of 1966. Ken and Stephanie built an incredible life together in Kamloops with their 4 children and numerous friends and family. In 1986, Ken helped Stephanie fulfill her dreams of owning and operating her own daycare in Westsyde and, between the two of them, they became very well-known pillars of the community. Ken couldn’t go anywhere without stopping to visit or wave a friendly hello. Always eager to help he, with the help of my mom, built a legacy not soon to be forgotten. Ken is survived by his beautiful wife, Stephanie, his children Blair Fowles, Glen Fowles (Rochelle), Kerri Duplessis (Jody), and daughter Kym Fowles. Ken had 5 incredible grandchildren, Jordan, Brayden, Easton, Gavin and Raegan, and three step grandchildren, Kyli, Kirsten and Dayton. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, family and friends. Ken was dedicated to his family and shared a unique and long lasting relationship that was a true display of what real love was all about. Ken had many hobbies and interests throughout his lifetime. He was an avid fisherman in his younger days, loved the thrill of fast cars and motorcycles, and was very artistic and creative. He was a handy man and could fix, or build, almost anything. He took up ballroom dancing where he met many lasting friends, and was always up to watch his children play their sports, or participate in any of the events he could. He did the very same for his grandchildren. He loved music of all sorts, and found a passion for cooking as his family grew. He loved to travel roads mostly untraveled in his Lincoln. Ken will be lovingly remembered as a true gift of love to all that he met. He was very kind and generous and could always bring a smile to a person’s face.

The family has requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Church in his memory.

A Celebration of Ken’s Life will be held on Saturday, February 15th, at 2:00pm in the Westsyde Baptist Church – 2833 Westsyde Road. In lieu of flowers, a donation in Ken’s name to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House would be greatly appreciated.

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.” The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

The Shirley connection By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

OLLIN SHIRLEY IS not the first of his kind to suit up in the Tournament Capital. His grandfather, Jim, was an ace goaltender with the Kamloops Chiefs when Memorial Arena was a state-of-theart facility. “I was actually in the penalty box and the guy was saying, ‘Oh, is your grandpa Jim Shirley?’” said Collin, a 17-yearold forward with the Kamloops Blazers. “He said he used to play here a little while ago. It was cool, remembering that stuff.” Jim, a product of Rosetown, Sask., was not yet 70 when he died of a heart attack in 1996, the same year Collin was born. They never met. KTW set out to nail down which years Jim played in Kamloops and the online trail quickly ran cold. Collin’s mom, Carol, was not at first sure when her father-in-law pulled on the pads in the River City. She made a few phone calls that later paid off. Gerry Bond is the

off-ice official with a faint memory of the Chiefs’ netminder. “The name Shirley is unique in itself and my memory is a little vague because I was just a kid back then,” Bond said. “I thought I remembered him as a goaltender in the ’50s when the Chiefs used to play out of Memorial and all the kids had to go and sit in the north end. “Other than that, I can’t remember too much.” Bond advised getting in touch with a few longtime members of the local hockey community — Bill Donaldson passed KTW on to Everett Miller, who mentioned Nick Pyevach might have been acquainted with Jim. “I was with the Flin Flon Bombers and I came here in the fall of ‘53 and Hal Gordon was our goaltender with the Chiefs,” the 82-yearold Pyevach said. “Not too long after I got released from the Chiefs. I think Jim arrived after that. I wasn’t good enough to play against him [Jim], but

I remember him very well. “He was a goaltender and a pretty good one.” The Shirleys soon produced Kamloops Sentinel newspaper clippings and the Kamloops Museum and Archives helped out by providing a chapter of a book — Wind and Ice: One Hundred Years (Almost) of Kamloops’ Hockey by Glen Cowley — which made it clear when Jim tended goal at Memorial. It turns out he was not your average backstop. Jim was named the Okanagan Senior Hockey League’s most valuable player after the 1956-1957 campaign, in which he led the league in goals-against-average and shutouts. He was a first-team all-star. The Chiefs were knocked out of the playoffs in Round 2 by the eventual champion

Vernon Canadians. Jim, at the tail end of his career, left Kamloops in 1958 to play in Pennsylvania with the Johnstown Jets of the Eastern Hockey League. A decade earlier, Jim appeared in a team photo with the 19481949 Detroit Red Wings. That season’s edition of the team lost to the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Stanley Cup final. It appears Jim never played with Detroit that season, with starting goaltender Harry Lumley logging all 71 games between the Red Wings’ pipes, according to hockeydb.com. While Collin’s grandfather might not have shared the ice in the NHL with Gordie Howe, the former Chiefs’ netminder and Mr. Hockey played baseball together in Saskatchewan. Jim played semipro ball for six seasons on the Prairies and he entered the Saskatoon Sports Hall of Fame (SSHF) as a builder in 1986. Howe entered the SSHF that year in the athlete category. The one year Jim spent in Kamloops is a footnote in a 12-year amateur and professional hockey career, but it takes on special meaning for his grandson now that he is a Blazer.

“He passed, but it’s obviously pretty special to be here now playing in the same place he did,” Collin said. “I think it’s special for my dad, too, and my nana always talked about him playing here. “They lived here and they really liked it.” TOP RIGHT: Gordon Petersen’s illustration of Jim Shirley appeared in the Kamloops Sentinel. Shirley was a goaltender with the 1956-1957 Kamloops Chiefs of the Okanagan Senior Hockey League. Shirley’s grandson, Collin (bottom left) is a forward with the 2013-2014 Kamloops Blazers. BOTTOM RIGHT: In this Sentinel photo, Jim Shirley is pictured holding the Bob Johnston Trophy, awarded to the OSHL’s most valuable player. He led the league in goals-against-average and shutouts.

WolfPack playoff series volleys between venues; Match 1 set for tonight at TCC adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

This isn’t how Pat Hennelly wanted to host his first Canada West playoff series. The ninth-year WolfPack head coach stood in the TRU Gym on Tuesday, Feb. 11, running practice in the venue for one of the first times this season. Hennelly and the WolfPack (13-9) were preparing for their best-of-three series against the Saskatchewan Huskies (11-11). Match 1 gets underway tonight (Feb. 13) at 7 p.m. at the Tournament Capital Centre. Hennelly’s charges were also preparing to play one of their most important tilts of the season in unfamiliar confines. The second match of the post-season showdown will be played in the TRU Gym, where the Pack have played just four times in the last two seasons. Game time on Friday, Feb. 14, is 7 p.m. “My preference would have been to be in the TCC,” Hennelly said. “I mean, it’s the gym we play in all the time and practise in all the time. “We did change the schedule to play a couple games against Manitoba in here, so we certainly have that under our belts. “It is what it is,” he continued. “We certainly have more games in here than Saskatchewan does, so we just have to go forward.” The TCC will be occupied with the Van Ryswyk Indoor Invitational track meet, which runs from Friday to Sunday, meaning Match 3 of the series, if necessary, will be played at the TRU Gym on Saturday. The dank gymnasium is a very different venue than the TCC, with shorter ceilings and less space to the left and right of the court. Hennelly said the venue can make players “shrink,” failing to get sets all the way to the outside of the court and fearing hitting the roof with service tosses and passes. If there’s any benefit to being in the TRU Gym, it’s that the smaller venue tends to favour an offensive-minded team like the WolfPack. If the Huskies get on a roll, how-

ever, Hennelly said that could just as easily backfire on the home team. “It’s harder to corral balls in this gym when guys are hitting that 120-130 km/h, it’s hard to control a ball without it hitting the roof or the walls, going into the stands,” he said. “That’s going to factor in for sure.” WolfPack right side Brad Gunter participated in practice on Monday and Tuesday and Hennelly said he should be in the lineup when the WolfPack take the court this evening. The return of outside hitters Philip Ozari and Jordan Foot is imminent, bringing the WolfPack as close to healthy as they’ve been in 2014. TRU beat Saskatchewan in both of their regular-season matches this year, but they were tightly contested, with the WolfPack winning the fifth set of the first match by a score of 20-18. The second match was a 3-0 victory for TRU. “I think we all realize that when it’s fifth set and 20-18 — the game’s to 15 — that’s like double overtime when you think about it,” Hennelly said. “We knew it was very close.” Setter Colin Carson and the TRU WolfPack are hosting the Saskatchewan Huskies tonight (Feb. 13) in the first match of a best-of-three Canada West playoff series at the Tournament Capital Centre. The second tilt of the showdown will be held inside the TRU Gym on Friday, Feb. 14, along with the third on Saturday, Feb. 15, if a rubber match is necessary.

Sportsmanship from the Twilight Zone

E ARE SEVEN DAYS INTO the Olympics and the Games’ most-inspirational moment might already be in the books. If you read on, you’ll find out how the act of sportsmanship has an eery tie to the past. Russian cross-country sprint skier Anton Gafarov fell three times and one of his skis was in shambles. It appeared he was destined on home soil to suffer the embarrassment of walking to the finish area — until a heroic Canadian jumped into action. Watch the tape. It

MARTY HASTINGS The Tattle of Hastings seems Canadian coach Justin Wadsworth materializes out of thin air, spare ski in hand. With the switch made, Gafarov raced toward the line, his dignity salvaged. The medal favourite came nowhere near the podium, but he will never forget that race,

much like anyone who watched it. What makes the story even more compelling is its tie to a similar skiing incident at the Turin Olympics in 2006. The Canadian crosscountry relay team of Sara Renner and Beckie Scott won silver at those Games and would not have done so without Norwegian coach Bjornar Hakensmoen. Noticing Renner had broken a pole, Hakensmoen handed her a new one. The Canadian team, which went from first place to fourth due to the equipment prob-

lem, climbed back into second. Norway finished fourth. Hakensmoen’s act likely kept his country off the podium. “A competition isn’t a competition unless it’s fair,” Hakensmoen told the media. That, right there, is the Olympic spirit. Here’s the kicker: Scott, who benefited from the Norwegian coach’s kindness, is married to Wadsworth, who paid the favour forward to Gafarov eight years later. The Tattle of Hastings appears in KTW on Thursdays. Email Marty Hastings at sports@ kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Blazers Sports Society allocates Legacy Fund grants The Kamloops Blazers Sports Society’s members and its board of directors announced the allocation of the 2014 grants from the Sports Legacy Fund (SLF) to the Kamloops and region sports community. Highlighting this year’s allotment is a $65,000 grant to PacificSport Interior and a $30,000 grant to the Kamloops KidSport Chapter. The Kamloops Track and Field Club received $29,500 to replace competitive mats, originally purchased in 1993 for the Canada Summer Games.

The Kamloops Tennis Association was granted $25,000 as a contribution to the much-needed resurfacing of its eight tennis courts, a $70,000 project. The 2014 allotment includes the third of five annual payments of $15,000 to the Kamloops Minor Baseball Association and the second of three annual payments of $13,333 to the Overlander Ski Club, which plans to improve the facilities at Stake Lake. This year’s SLF allo-

cation total is $338,060. Since 2009, Kamloops and region sport organizations — 76 of them — have received $1.779 million in grants from the fund. The annual application period runs from Oct. 1 to Nov. 30 each year and allocation by the nine-member board occurs in January. The $7.5-million fund was generated by the 2007 sale of the Kamloops Blazers and an investment by the Blazers Sports Foundation in 2008.

BOOK REVIEW

Take a mid-winter break in the heat of Africa

As the Page Turns is a monthly column featuring reviews of recent books by members of the Thompson Rivers University English department. This month, Nina Johnson reviews Alexander McCall Smith’s The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon, Knopf Canada, $18.81 online at chapters.indigo.ca. Johnson teaches literature and composition and has research interests in creativity, the labyrinth and the art of slowing down.

SHORT

AND SWEET By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Jason Mynett is confident there will be plenty of laughter when the Kamloops Players again take the stage. He’s equally as confident there will be quiet pondering within that same audience. It’s the beauty of doing a showcase of one-act plays, Mynett said — it can have something for everyone. Mynett, new to the Players troupe, is one of four editors at the helm of the seven-play showcase. Joining him are Heather Cant, Liz Ekering and Linda Bezooyen, all working with producer Theresa Brooks.

Brooks has described the production as an evening of eclectic theatre with an emphasis on comedy — but, also with some tender moments. Longtime Players supporters will recognize many of the actors, but there are several new ones as well, Mynett said. All one-act performances are appropriate for teens and older, he said. The venue at the Stage House, 422 Tranquille Rd., is perfect for the single acts, each of which is about 15 minutes, he said. It’s not a large theatre, which enhances the intimate feel and helps with some of the performances that have a bit of audience interaction. Performances are set for Friday, Feb. 14, Saturday, Feb. 15, Friday,

Feb. 21, and Saturday, Feb. 22. The Valentine’s Day performance will include appetizers. Each performance will have a licensed bar. Tickets are $12.50, which includes service charges, and are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-3745483, kamloopslive.ca. The Players’ season also includes Art by Yasmina Reza. It won a Tony Award for best play and had a 600-night run on Broadway. It will be presented from April 3 to April 5. Following it in the season will be Chamber Music by absurdist playwright Arthur Kopit. It runs from April 25 to April 28, May 2, May 3, May 9 and May 10.

Replacing a tooth - is it worth it?

My primary role as a health care professional is “education”. The actual Latin translation for the “Doctor” in front of my name is “teacher” first - the role of the clinician and performing surgery is second! As such, I was completely humbled by one of Dr. Preety Desai my patients last week - it goes to show you that we humans learn something new every day! I was in the midst of completing a treatment plan for a lovely lady that involved removing a fractured, infected root canaled tooth, replacing it with a bone graft and then placing an implant. A few months later a crown is placed returning her mouth to full function and health again. This process can be lengthy and costly (over 6-9 months) and can cost up to $5000 to replace the extracted molar. She recounted to me how numerous friends and family members along the way had told her not to follow through and spend the money on something else! “Why are you doing all that?”. I have even heard this comment from other dental and medical health professionals! After hearing this, I was absolutely shocked! I felt that as a profession, we WERE getting the message out to “educate” the public in realizing how important our teeth are and how losing even one tooth can have so many short and long term negative repercussions. NOT! I realized that this was a failure of dentists if even one person thinks this way. Losing even one tooth will leave you a dental cripple! Research repeatedly shows that the side effects are numerous and include: (a) a person favouring the other side for chewing (b) unilateral function leads to more food impaction and gum disease (c) unilateral function leads to more dental cavities, tooth fractures and wear on one side of your mouth (d) one sided function leads to more muscle strain and TMJ joint problems and headaches, shoulder pain etc (e) more root canals (f) more risk of tooth extraction on the “good side” from overwork (f) poor mastication and biting force especially meats (g) fewer fruits and vegetables eaten (h) fewer vitamins and minerals consumed later in life (i) digestive issues from poor food chewing (j) bloating and constipation (k) lower quality of life (l) problems exercising. Now granted, there are partial dentures and bridges to replace missing teeth. This is 19th century thinking. The days of taking out a tooth and not even considering the options ........ is absolutely NOT accepted today in any dental code of ethics. My patients constantly humble me! When I suggest many optimal treatment options for them to minimize costs and yet deliver my best to them ...... their most common reply confirms a very simple common sense idea: “Dr Desai why wouldn’t I replace my tooth in the best way? I don’t want a hole in my head! and really $5000 over the next 50 years that I am going to live is just $100.00 a year!!!! That means I can enjoy 50 years of eating good food - no instant holiday can give me that!” Here here! Happy Heart Month Kamloops - the best gift you can give you and your loved ones is a full set of teeth!

Mma Ramotswe shows us the dark legacies of colonization, racism and violence, while also celebrating the dignity and joy of her people. Possibly the most appealing feature of the novels is a sense of spaciousness. There is time for family, hospitality,

good manners and compassion. There is time to cook pumpkin and to shop for the perfect pair of shoes. The characters and the landscape invite us to slow down and sink into the rhythm of Botswana and the lilt of Setswana oral traditions. The 14th novel is as engaging as the earlier ones and follows suit

in typical candour and good humour. Mma Ramotswe faces a disturbing mystery involving a false identity and a nephew’s claim to a family inheritance. She then goes for a facial and finds herself investigating a libellous attack against the owner of The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon. Mma Soletsi has

received an anonymous parcel: A hornbill feather, an evil omen and, possibly, a death threat. While Mma Ramotswe is busy with

her cases, Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni secretly enrols in a night class for “The Modern Man” — and Mma Makutsi gives birth to a son. Always, there is the comfort of cooked pumpkin and the necessity of new shoes. The first novels have been adapted beautifully for an HBO television series, which is available at the library. The books and the series are a mid-winter treat. Make yourself a cup of red bush tea and visit Mma Ramotswe at The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency. Her door is open and, as the sign states, “Satisfaction Guaranteed.”

MASTERMINDING AN ACTORS’ DATABASE

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

While business owners can be great advocates for their products and services, they are sometimes not so great when the cameras roll to produce a video. That’s why Mastermind Studios has developed an online database of actors and, eventually, those with additional talents. Peter Cameron-Inglis, CEO of the Kamloops company, said having a stable of non-union performers helps everyone. They can provide a low-cost talent pool from which to draw, while gaining their own experience to add to their resume. The business people don’t have to try to feel comfortable in front of the camera and the entire project helps local artists. Cameron-Inglis said about half of those now on the database are Thompson Rivers University theatre-arts students or members of the Kamloops Players. There are also some younger performers who

have worked with Mastermind Studios in the past. Becoming part of the database involves a charge because the company films the video that will be attached to the performer’s biography. There are two options, Cameron-Inglis said. For those who can come in and nail it without several takes or editing, it costs $100. For those who need more time and might require several takes that need to be edited together into one video, the cost is $250. “The idea here is if we can present the talent we have in this region well, we’re going to attract a whole lot more business to the city,” CameronInglis said. “And we just love the idea of helping to support our artists and it’s a great opportunity to showcase Kamloops and promote our local talent. “And it’s a way for them to advertise and promote themselves to the world.” Cameron-Inglis hopes to eventually include voice actors, dancers, musicians, presenters and motivational speakers.

Carving out a nice display for the Brier COMMUNITY BRIEFS When the 2014 Kamloops Brier takes to the Interior Savings Centre ice on March 1, a few of the curling rocks will look a little different that usual. The Kamloops and area carving community has banded together to create a four-corner ice display for the Brier, with one of the corners featuring the winners of the Miniature Curling Rock Carving Contest. The other three corners will feature carvings from the Shuswap School of Carving and Arts and the Kamloops Woodcarving Club. Kathy Phoenix, Shuswap School of Carving and Arts Co-ordinator and Treasurer of the Shuswap Carvers Society, said the Brier’s

organizing committee asked for a four-corner display that represented the region. The contest has been underway since September 2013 and thus far about 30 carvings have been submitted. The contest will accept entries until Feb. 14 at 7 p.m., with the winners selected by public judging that will occur at the Kamloops Curling Club from Feb. 16 until Feb. 22. Entries must measure three inches at the base and have a handle. Full details are available at bccarvingschool.com.

Help give home to someone in need

Habitat for Humanity Kamloops will be building two homes in 2014 for families struggling to overcome the cycle of poverty. The organization is accepting applications from families wishing

to live in those houses. All the information can be found online at habitatkamloops.ca. “Every Canadian family deserves a safe, decent and affordable place to call home,” said Habitat for Humanity Kamloops chairman David Hughes. “Our goal is to make that dream a reality.” How does the group make this work? Through volunteer labor and donations. Habitat homeowners invest hundreds of hours of their own labour into building their Habitat house and the houses of others. Habitat houses are sold to partner families with zero-interest financing. The homeowners’ monthly mortgage payments are used to build more Habitat houses. The public can help by shopping at Habitat’s ReStore Donation

Centre at 1425 Cariboo Pl. in Sahali. There, Habitat receives new and used furniture, large and small appliances, household goods and building materials donated by homeowners, contractors, retailers and manufacturers, and sells them to the public at greatly reduced prices. Money raised through ReStore sales covers 100 per cent of

the cost of Habitat for Humanity Kamloops’ administration. For more information, call Habitat executive director Jan Lingford at 250-3146783 or send an email to habitatkamloops@ live.ca.

OUTDOORS

ON A WINTER TRACK By Heather Toles

KAMLOOPS NATURALIST CLUB

Canadians embrace winter by getting outdoors and enjoying the cool fresh air and sunshine. Recreational activities such as skiing, snowshoeing and icefishing are popular in winter, but what about animal tracking? Animal tracks are easiest to find in mud, sand or snow. While out hiking or snowshoeing, why not try looking for animal tracks in the snow? Though you may not see the animals, you will notice evidence of their presence in the blanket of white snow. In the Kamloops area, tracks can be found from birds, squirrel, hare, weasel, muskrat, otter, beaver, deer, moose, fox, coyote and cats, such as lynx, bobcat, and cougar. A network of trails can be found made by squirrels and snowshoe hares and, if you take time to follow the trails, you can discover what they are feeding on during the winter months. You may even see the white winter coat of a snowshoe hare or weasel as you pass through its territory.

Tracks from deer and moose will lead to foraged trees and shrubs. One will be astonished when comparing the step of a large animal to the step of a human. Grouse often leave imprints of their feathers in the snow when they are taking off for flight or landing. Placement of the print can show if the animal is walking, running or jumping, while toe prints indicate the direction of travel. Claws will help to identify the species of a paw print. The print of a dog will show claws but, because cats have retractable claws, you will not see their claws in the print. If you follow the tracks you will sometimes find scat, or animal droppings, which will tell you if the animal is a carnivore or herbivore by the fur or plant fiber in the dropping. Sometimes the tracks may lead you to where an animal such as an ungulate (deer or moose) has bedded down. You may also find tracks of beaver or muskrat or the slide of an otter at the waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge. A story appears right before

you when you see multiple animal tracks in the snow. You will wonder and find yourself immersed in detective work to figure out the â&#x20AC;&#x153;whoâ&#x20AC;? and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;whyâ&#x20AC;? of animal tracks. Who was here? What were they doing? Were they feeding, hunting, resting or just passing through? What direction were they going? What was their gait? Were they predator or prey? For expert animal trackers, it is a challenge to identify what species they see but, for novice animal trackers, it is an adventure. Let your imagination create a world we do not often see. Get yourself a pocket identification guide of animal tracks as a way to learn. Get outside to explore and enjoy winter and the world of our local wildlife. And, by the way, the track in the photo to the left is from an otter. The Kamloops Naturalist Club recently hosted an animaltracking field trip.

Be first behind the wheel of new Ford truck Ford is launching the “You Test” campaign, in which actual Ford F-150 drivers and fans could win the opportunity to sit behind the wheel of the all-new 2015 F-150 before nearly anyone else in the world. By visiting BuiltToughTest. com, customers can tell Ford how they would test the toughness of the new F-150 pickup truck — maybe through a grueling off-road challenge, or even through the daily routine of a demanding job site. Up to five winners will be selected to spend up to a week behind the wheel of a new F-150

aluminum-alloy body. The new F-150 will undergo more than 10-million miles of toughness and durability testing before it reaches showrooms later this year.

while video crews document the truck undergoing the real-world testing. The videos will be posted online to YouTube.com/ FordTrucks. Entries must be received by May 31, and winners will be announced before Sept. 1. No purchase is necessary. Those interested must complete the terms and conditions, available online at BuiltToughTest. com. Ford’s all-new F-150 is the toughest F-150 ever, with a high-strength steel frame and a high-strength, military-grade,

Honda unveils archive, 3-D data on past models available online Honda has released 3-D data for exterior designs of concept models the company has introduced in the past. The data is offered based on version 4.0 of Creative Commons lisenses, a new set of copyright licensing standards for the Internet age. With the data downloaded from the website “Honda 3-D Design Archives,” Honda’s concept models can easily be replicated by a household 3D printer, which is becoming more popular in recent years. By offering data of its concept models, which embody the spirit of Honda design, the automaker offers the opportunity to enjoy a simulated experience of its “art of manufacturing.” Honda is currently promoting a new global branding project under which its unique approaches and thoughts toward the art of manufacturing appeal to a wide range of people. Following the release of a Honda brand commercial film titled Super ultra daydreams, which debuted at the start of Honda’s press conference at the Tokyo Motor Show last year, the release of the 3D data through the “Honda 3D Design Archives” will be the second initiative under this project. Due to the latest technological innovations and the introduction of affordable household 3D printers, the wart of manufacturing in society is experiencing fundamental change. Against the backdrop of such change, Honda designed this project in an effort to identify new ways of communication beyond the conventional framework between a manufacturer and its users. Honda is hoping to see the emergence of outstanding future automobile designers and engineers from the users who are inspired by this project.

Consumers are being invited to enter the BuiltToughTest.com contest and describing how they would test the toughness of the all-new F-150.

Dodge sponsors final Motley Crue tour After more than three decades together, iconic rock ‘n roll band Motley Crue has announced its Final Tour. It is the last chance to see the band perform live. The Dodge brand has been named the presenting sponsor of the tour, which begins this summer. Motley Crue made the announcement in Los Angeles, where the band signed a formal “cessation of touring agreement,” effective at the end of 2015. The Final Tour, produced by Live Nation, will kick off in North America on July 2 in Grand Rapids, Mich., and reach 72 markets before hit-

ting international cities in 2015. Rock legend Alice Cooper will join the band as a special guest. Dodge has used the band’s hit single Kickstart My Heart in three 30-second commercials for the Charger and Challenger as the energy of the song and band captures the spirit and energy of the brand. Uncle, Dream Job and Engine Note can be seen on the brand’s YouTube channel. With more than 80-million albums having been purchased worldwide, Motley Crue has sold out countless tours across the globe and spawned more than 2,500 Motley Crue-

branded paraphernalia sold in more than 30 countries. Dodge says the band has proven it knows how to make a lasting impression and this tour will be no different. Fans can expect to hear the catalogue of Motley Crue’s chart-topping hits and look forward to mind-blowing, unparalleled live production.

Motley Crue is shown with Dodge Challengers as they announced the T:10.25” Final Tour in association with Dodge.

THE NEW 2014

The development of Audi e-fuels has reached a new level after the synthetic fuels recently passed engineering tests. Audi is testing the low-emission performance by synthetic fuel in a glass engine so engineers can see the combustion process. The fuels completed a cycle in Ingolstadt in the pressure chamber and the glass engine and received clear results. Audi e-fuels often even perform better than their conventional counterparts. The engineers were first and foremost interested in mixture preparation and the synthetic fuels’ combustion characteristics. To investigate these, they simulated the conditions inside an engine in a pressure chamber at up to 15 bar and temperatures of 350 degrees C. A special camera recorded how the fuel behaves during the injection process, because only a clean mixture preparation process will assure optimal combustion. The glass engine was another test station. This test setup reveals the processes that are otherwise hidden by the metal walls of the cylinders. A small window made of quartz glass enables the experts to observe the fuel’s behavior in the cylinder and how it interacts with the airflow in the combustion chamber. During each of up to 3,000 revolutions per minute in the research engine, a very small amount of fuel shoots into the glass cylinder, is compressed and ignited, and the exhaust gas then expelled. The conclusion: Unlike fossil fuels, the composition of which varies depending on their place of origin, synthetic Audi e-fuels are absolutely pure fuels. Thanks to their chemical properties, fewer emissions are generated when they As a result, the synthetic fuels assure a more effective mixture preparation process,
