Owner of Pinantan General Store will rebuild By Tim Petruk
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The owner of the Pinantan General Store hopes the blaze that levelled his business forces government officials to help the community establish its own fire protection — something he’s been trying to do for years. In addition to owning the store that burned to the ground late Wednesday night (April 17) , Cory George is also a director of the Pinantan East Paul Lake Fire Association. “At what point do they come in and say these things aren’t options anymore?” he asked KTW as what remains of his business smouldered behind him while a steady stream of curious onlookers stopped at the scene for a look. “Nobody wants their taxes to go up until they see something like this. At what point do they step in and say
this is not an option?” The community of Pinantan Lake was given a fire truck in 2012 — an old vehicle donated by McLure’s volunteer fire department. But, George said, it’s been of no use other than training to this point because of red tape. The truck is being stored on a private property in Pinantan Lake. He said the fire association hoped to build a $30,000 garage to house the truck on a piece of donated property down the road from the store, but said TNRD officials claimed they would have to construct a $200,000 firehall. “Pardon my language, but they dicked us around,” George said. “A fire truck wouldn’t have saved this building, but we got lucky. There was no wind and it was raining.” Ron Storie, manager of community services for the ThompsonNicola Regional District, said
he’s been in conversation with the Pinantan fire association about setting up a volunteer department. “Putting a fire department together, it’s not just. ‘Let’s do it overnight,’” he said. “There’s training that’s required, there’s, in this day and age, huge liability. “You need a specific number of volunteers — and it’s the community’s choice whether they move down that road or not.” Storie said the community of Pinantan would have to make that choice through either a petition or a referendum. Neighbouring Paul Lake has a volunteer fire service with a working fire engine, but the Pinantan General Store is located outside of its coverage area. Ed Lund, president of Paul Lake Fire Protection, said he received phone calls late Wednesday asking Paul Lake Fire Protection to help
battle the blaze. “Just basically, ‘Can we come to the fire?’,” he told KTW. “I said we can’t because we have a protection radius.” Paul Lake’s volunteer fire service was developed after a deadly house fire in that community on Christmas Eve 2008 that claimed the life of 55-year-old Janice Hughes. RCMP Staff Sgt. Doug Aird said police were called to the Pinantan General Store just before 11 p.m., after a tenant living in an adjoining apartment saw smoke. He said officers helped to ensure the scene was safe, but there was nothing they could do to fight the fire. “Last night we were fortunate it was raining,” he said. “Now, we want to determine cause and origin so we’ve asked the provincial fire commissioner’s office to come up. There’s really not a hell of a lot left.”
Beethoven Festival
Aird said the blaze could have started in the building’s furnace room, but that will be up to investigators to figure out. No one was injured, but the fire completely destroyed the building. It was still smouldering with flames visible 12 hours later. Melissa Reid, a trades student at Thompson Rivers University, has fond memories of the store — her grandparents, Herb and Laura Reid, built it. Reid remembers photographs being taken of family members while the building was being constructed, snapshots that were put between wall joists and then covered over to create miniature time capsules. George said he will rebuild the store, which he has owned for four years, and he has already met with an insurance adjustor. “The community needs it. It’s gonna get rebuilt. This is rural B.C.”

Robbery spree has Mounties busy By Tim Petruk
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
Four days, four robberies, zero arrests. Kamloops Mounties are trying to solve a string of recent hold-ups — crimes that might have been committed by one prolific bandit. “We haven’t come to that conclusion, but we’re thinking that,”
Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush told KTW. “The descriptions are fairly vague, but the things they can say about them are somewhat similar.” Also similar is the modus operandi — enter store with face covered, threaten staff and take off with cash. The first robbery took place at an adult
store on Tranquille Road in North Kamloops on Monday, April 14. In that instance, the suspect walked in just prior to closing, armed with a box cutter, and demanded cash. The next day, a drycleaning business on Tranquille Road was held up. No weapon was produced. On Wednesday, April
16, a clothing store on Fourth Avenue downtown was robbed. In that case, a box cutter was once again brandished. And, on Thursday, April 17, a store in the 200-block of Victoria Street downtown was held up by a man armed with a needle. Bush said investigators are canvassing area

THE CASE OF THE MISSING ASSETS
Teachers set to begin job action After rejecting an offer from the school-district bargaining agency for a long-term contract, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation has served notice it will begin work-to-rule action on Wednesday, April 23. BCTF president Jim Iker said 72-hour notice has been given after union members voted 89 per cent in March to endorse a three-stage strike plan. Phase one includes refusing communication with school managers, arriving no more than an hour before and leaving an hour after school hours, and refusing supervision of students outside class time. It does not affect pre-arranged voluntary activities such as coaching, but the refusal of supervision requires essentialservice levels that compel some teachers to assure the safety of students while they are out of classes. Report-card preparation and parent meetings will continue. Iker said progress at the bargaining table will determine how long phase one action would last. Phase two of the BCTF plan is rotating one-day walkouts in districts around the province. Phase three, a full-scale strike, would require a second vote by members to authorize. Kamloops-Thompson school
district superintendent Terry Sullivan said the job action will affect students, despite any claims to the contrary. “The rhetoric is there isn’t going to be an impact on students, but I would totally disagree with that,” Sullivan said. “And I would be prepared to show evidence that job action does have an effect.” Sullivan said school-district officials will be finalizing a jobaction plan over the Easter long weekend, with parents to be called on Tuesday, April 22. “We will do our best to ensure things are stabilized in schools,” he said. “The important thing to stress to parents is that schools will be in session.” The BCTF has rejected the government’s offer for a 10-year agreement with pay increases totalling 6.5 per cent over the first six years and additional wage increases to be negotiated for the final four years. The union said there has been little change to the “lowball offer” on wages and no movement on the long-running dispute over class size limits and special needs support, Iker said. BCTF negotiators countered with a three-year proposal with three per cent plus a cost-ofliving increase in each year.

We look forward to seeing all of you on Friday, May 2nd at Westsyde Secondary School
With compounding and current estimates of inflation, BCPSEA calculates that could amount to 13.5 per cent over three years. Iker said school districts are cutting staff and programs due to ministry budget cuts, and the ministry should at least cover school districts’ costs for increase medical services plan premiums and BC Hydro rate increases. The education ministry said per-pupil funding has increased 38 per cent since 2001 and the ministry has provided $225 million over three years to hire 500 teachers and 400 new special education assistants for the 201213 school year. Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for B.C.’s 60 school districts, said once stage one strike action begins, the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association will seek an order that the union pay for its extended benefits during any withdrawal of service. That would cost about $5 million a month for 41,000 public school teachers. “In order that there is in fact pressure on both sides, BCPSEA needs to respond to any phase one activities with measures that put corresponding pressure on the union,” Cameron wrote in a letter to Iker.

TYSON McNEIL-HAY Estate Litigation Lawyer Fulton & Company LLP
More and more often, people take steps to reduce the fees and taxes on their estates by transferring assets, such as homes or bank accounts, to other people prior to death. This can also take the form of designating a beneficiary on a RRSP, RRIF, or life insurance policy. Unfortunately, these assets transfers often lead to confusion as to the ownership of these assets after the person dies. Do they belong to the people to whom they were transferred? Or do they still belong to the deceased person’s estate? If you are the beneficiary of a will where assets have been transferred from the estate, you may be completely in the dark about these missing assets. Fortunately, there are laws that may assist you in getting disclosure of that information, and ultimately in showing that the assets still belong to the estate. At Fulton & Company LLP, we have extensive experience and insight with these issues. Let us protect your interests, and help you reach an effective and appropriate resolution.

Chief says B.C. Liberals failing on environment issues By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Shuswap Indian Band chief said the B.C. Liberal government’s embarrassing about-face on removing ski resorts and nearly all natural-gas plants from environmental review is another example of its failure on environmental issues. Late Wednesday, April 17, B.C. Minister of Environment Mary Polak said her government would rescind orders-in-council exempting destination resorts and the majority of gas plants from review by the environmental assessment office. The changes were done quietly and without consultation, angering First Nations and environmental groups. “Our government is committed to a strong, respectful and productive relationship with First Nations,” Polak said in a statement. “That’s why we will rescind the amendment that would have removed the requirement for an environmental assessment for sweet-gas facilities and destination resorts, until we have undertaken discussions with First Nations.” Neskonlith Indian Band Chief Judy Wilson said the move so angered chiefs meeting during a summit on liquid-natural gas that they kicked out provincial representatives. Wilson is part of the executive of the B.C. Union of Indian Chiefs. “They said it really jeopardized discussions with First Nations on
LNG,” she said. NDP Leader Adrian Dix called the flip-flop “not just embarrassing, but incompetent. “And it’s the premier’s personal incompetence here.” Dix said the failed removal of ski resorts and gas plants from review was an attempt to do a backroom deal with industry. “You can make these kind of deals in a backroom, which the premier wants to do, and not defend them publicly.” Wilson said the episode is the latest in a number of failures by both government and industry to properly consult with First Nations, something it is legally required to do. She noted a recent announcement by Sun Peaks Resort it will expand its skiing area this winter was done without consultation. The Neskonlith and Adams Lake Indian bands have long opposed development of the ski resort and creation of a resort municipality. “We’re looking at what the resort is talking about,” she said. “We haven’t been consulted on further expansion . . . People wonder why there’s tension there. Proper processes aren’t being followed.” Wilson also said government acknowledged several years ago bands were not consulted when the ski resort was taken over by a Japanese corporation and expanded to a modern operation with real estate development in the mid-1990s.

NorKam trades centre opening delayed By Dale Bass
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
School won’t be in for the NorKam Trades and Technology Centre until next February. Sheryl Lindquist, the Kamloops-Thompson school district principal for trades and transitions, said the $7.4-million project won’t be ready for its planned September opening, so classes won’t begin until the second semester of the 20142015 school year. She said more than 60 students have applied for the onesemester program and priority will be given to those entering Grade 12 this year. Lindquist said enrolment is less than was expected — there is room for 100 full-time stu-
dents — but said the uniqueness of the program has left some students who are interested in trades waiting to see what the program looks like. “You have the keeners, the ones who know what they want and they’re in,” she said. “And then there are others who aren’t sure and are waiting to see.” Unlike traditional classes, the trades centre will operate more like a business, with students learning by doing most of the time. At the end of the semester, they return to their home schools and, Lindquist said, she hopes students who take the program go back and talk it up. There’s no one reason for the delay, Lindquist said, but
a variety of unanticipated construction challenges. Masonry work, for example, couldn’t be done because of weather issues and government funding didn’t get approved when anticipated. “Art McDonald [SD73 director of facilities and transportation] said every construction project has some problems,” Lindquist said. “It’s like you start renovations and you bump into surprises.” Students can still register for the program. Lindquist said they should speak to their home-school staff. There are also some openings in the district’s hair-dressing, restaurant-training and digipen programs, as well as in the International Baccalaureate program at NorKam secondary.
Rona sells property; casino company likely buyer The former Rona building at 1555 Versatile Dr. has been sold. A spokeswoman with Rona confirmed that the company finalized the sale of its former Kamloops location the morning of Thursday, April 17, but said confidentiality agreements prevent the company from disclosing the buyer. Gateway Casinos and Entertainment Ltd. is seen as the most likely to have picked
up the property, which is assessed at $4.2 million according to the city. The parent company of Lake City Casino did not return a request for comment by KTW, but rumours about the casino’s intentions for the building have swirled in the city. Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone told KTW the government is aware Gateway wants to move out of its current Victoria Street location

Only thing certain in life are death and taxes; it’s these kinds of slogans that help to facilitate a false belief that our taxes are the only way in which a society can exist. But there was a time when there were practically no taxes in Canada, [or most of the world] there was a time when government was competent self sustaining and accountable. Take for example, in the early You can enter at this location. days there was no such thing as ination or income tax, though government still existed; built and maintained railways roads funded healthcare, police and military, and many other things. The point is, right up until good old government got subrogated [stolen through bribery] things were pretty good, there was no such thing as ination until the late 1800’s when some politician thought ination up as an excuse to remove accountability, starting a runaway train that may end all of humanity. Income Taxes were brought in during the Second World War to pay for the war machine; and did we ever, Canada had the third largest navy, and sent tons of material and men that made the difference to win the war. But after the war income tax remained in direct violation of CANADA’s constitution/law. Yet what most don’t know of government, is “they” make every war one entry per person per business. Original entry forms onlyenvironmental (no photocopies, faxes, legal, indeed “they” make anything legal to the highest bidder; self-evidentOnly in CANADA’s government today as “they” change lawsetc.). to Contest closes June 30, 2014. suit corporations needs, destroying the environment for generations to come in exchangeNo forpurchase prot. necessary. “They”=those in breach of their oath, a crime in which will haunt them for all eternity as men with no honour. Another ne detail never taught in the public education system is that up until 1900’s there was no ination, and up until the 1970’s no major national debt. It wasn’t until some more fraud was made “legal” called private banking interest, which was a change from borrowing from ourselves, [Bank of Canada] for practically no interest, to borrowing from private banks at high interest. A direct result of the UN sticking its nose in Sovereign Nation’s business, arbitrarily birthing the bastard rule of the New World Order as we witness today, bankrupting the world; called fraud by any other name. With this fraud came a new type of fraud called invisible debt, or debt that doesn’t exist in the real world to any real natural person, but only exists in ction on a computer screen, or more specic as a “legal ction”. Bafe any educated scholar by asking them where money comes from; though only a selected few insiders whom reap the rewards of this fraud, truly understand the money and debt are gments of ction simply entered into a computer screen out of thin air, all made legal through government subrogation. Yet more fraud of government is Canada is the richest nation per capita; our wealth of natural resources and farm land is second to none, yet homelessness hunger and humanity struggle to survive as the cost of living out paces living it’s self, indeed leaving many struggling just to survive. Yet because of the fraud within government that sells our resources at pennies on the dollar, corporations make record prots by self regulating the systematic rape and pillage of mother earth. Which is worse, the degradation of people or mother earth? Both are heinous crimes against humanity and all we as men are entrusted with. It is because of these truths that many in Canada and indeed the world are standing up and saying NO, I will not be a part of government’s fraud and breach of public trust. Indeed, Out of the ashes of democracy a phoenix of consciousness is born; thousands of people are resisting, questioning, and educating themselves, standing up to government. In turn government makes the assault of peaceful upstanding members of communities all across this nation legal; steeling pensions, homes, seizing bank accounts and assets, shutting down businesses, corrupting the courts by legally changing justice by forcing the accused under threat and duress to prove their innocents in a world of fraud, contrary since the dawn of law that a man is innocent until proven guilty by his peers. Though take comfort in knowing progress is being made, we free men who understand we have a duty to stand up to tyranny and corruption, have took it upon ourselves at great risk to expose the fraud and crimes against humanity. In doing so, we have learned the ins and outs of the devil himself, exposing his vulnerable places. Slavery is legally abolished, yet the devil enslaves you to ll out their paper work for free in ignorance of this fact; so why not send them a contract? My time is my most valuable asset, so I charge them $500 hr to ll out their paper work, and I keep an ofce [closet in my home] that I charge $1000 a month for. Then when I do ll out their paper work, it reects a legally binding contract that any crooked court cannot deny. In response they often send paper work with wild claims but no signatures, so if no one signs, then no one is taking responsibility and it is nothing but gibberish. Legally there are three things one can do anytime anyone sends you a demand for payment. One can ignore the paper work in which case legally one is agreeing to their claim, and they can take everything one owns; or one can deny the claim, which creates a dispute that leads to much pain and suffering. The nal thing one can do, is CONDITIONALY ACCEPT their claim upon proof of claim. I agree and am more than happy to make full payment immediately in exchange for the original bill of exchange/contract delivered to me within 21 days, failure to respond must mean there was a mistake, resolving you of any legal obligations. This forces someone to take responsibility, someone has to sign under oath and penalty of perjury that I owe this amount and this is how it was created in reality [but in reality no one is willing to accept responsibility for their fraud]... not ction. More often than not, government agents will make wild claims that are far greater than any alleged debt in order to intimidate. A kind of unlawful shock-and-aw campaign used against people who may only owe a few thousand, but are accused of owing a hundred thousand; it amounts to a breach of public trust as government operates ABOVE THE LAW!

A
N AFTERNOON excursion to every child’s fun palace seemed an unlikely destination for adult shenanigans. But, a recent Ruckers playdate was better than I remembered — and it wasn’t only because my playmates this time had fewer boogers on their faces than my childhood pals. I know what you’re thinking — “Unlikely destination? Ruckers is so fun. I remember a birthday party when . . .” And, I’ll stop you right there. Yes, Ruckers is fun when you are a six-year-old, you have a six-yearold or you are babysitting a six-yearold. Fond childhood memories come from the clinking of tokens, the twinkle of arcade games, the anticipation at the ticket counter and three packs of candied Nerds inevitably chosen for a prize. Fast-forward another 20 years and consider a 26-year-old recreating that very Ruckers playdate — this time as a real date. Adult logic might cloud initial impressions — just some silly kids’ place, a waste of money or a breeding ground for rare bacteria to feast and flourish. But, despite the desire to wash my hands every 30 seconds, I dismissed logic as boring adult misconceptions. The games were largely similar to those years ago, but you have one major advantage playing them — two more decades of size and intelligence. Tickets flew left and right as we conquered our childhood weaknesses.

Air Hockey and Deal or No Deal proved splurge-worthy, token-wise, and friendly competition was a chance to flirt and goof around. I’m sure a little creativity could even raise the stakes to some adultrated favours. Though, in mentioning that, it seems a little creepy. At times, our adult powers felt like cheating. In one game, I nearly dunked the basketball — a shootingskills game on which I wouldn’t have dared wasting tokens as a kid because of the proximity of the hoop above my head. The best part, though, came at the end — the win-win-win situation. Counting the tickets — this time enough for five packs of Nerds — we found that, after repeatedly cheating on the basketball game, there were still enough tickets to put a smile on a kid’s face, a child who had eyes on a giant stuffy. The result was a fun date and a sugar rush, wrapped up in a good deed — so many rewards for having fun. As someone who grew up in the Tournament Capital, I have no prob-
lem finding fun in the nooks and crannies of the city. But, as I take on more responsibility for the arts and entertainment section at KTW, I am constantly surprised and excited by things happening in Kamloops. How did I not know there was a ukulele orchestra? I could try that. People create artistic pottery in the park? What! Why had I never signed up for Boogie the Bridge? Run Club training has been fun this year. I figure you’ve already done half the work by taking time from your crazy busy day — not to mention the bonus points for resisting the temptation to wander online to BuzzFeed by now — so, while I have your brief attention, I’d like to offer up another win-win-win situation. Sorry, it doesn’t involve any Nerds. While the rest of the newsroom is spending too much time teaching, me how, to, use, a, comma, I’m trying to lend a hand in compiling comprehensive weekly event listings for the Friday paper. This is where you come in. You get free publicity for your community event, Friday’s pages are filled and people like me, who have lived here forever, may learn a few new things about what’s going on in the community. See? Win-win-win. Email me and let’s get started. And, if there’s not much going on, we can always grab some hand sanitizer, pop into Ruckers and dunk our way to five packs of Nerds. jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Unplug and play — and you will indeed save It used to be that the old beer fridge, chugging away in the basement at all hours, was your home’s biggest energy hog. If you have an old beast whirring and humming away, it would be wise to unplug it and save your bucks. But, there’s a new consumer of energy in your home — electronics — and you may be surprised to learn how much your cellphones, PVRs, computers and other gizmos are costing you. BC Hydro has been increasing its educational programming, through its website and at trade shows, encouraging customers to use less power. One way is to properly monitor just how much your electronics are driving up your smart meter. While unplugging that old fridge can save you up to $85 a year, properly plugging in your gadgets has the potential to save you more than $100 a year. Just your PVR alone is costing you more than your average refrigerator. BC Hydro suggests hooking up your television, DVD, PVR, VCR and surround system to one power bar, and simply clicking the entire thing off when it’s not in use. “Phantom load” is upping your the cost of your hydro bill, whether you’re home or away, sleeping or awake. Standby power can increase your annual bill by as much as 10 per cent. If hydro companies could convince everyone in Canada to reduce their products that use standby power, they could power up to 400,000 homes — and emissions reductions would be equivalent to taking a large coal-fired power generating unit offline. All you have to do to is unplug the things you aren’t using. If we could learn as a society to turn off the lights when we leave the room, surely we can learn to click off the electronics, too. Finally, BC Hydro’s green team suggests reading a book and going for a bike ride instead of watching TV at all — the ultimate unplugged experience.

Steelworkers’ president speaks with honest clarity
Speak up You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com
A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online
Re: Bass column: BASS: Parents of autistic kids don’t need junk-science lectures:
“. . . referred to Africa, which, he said, never had autism until vaccinations were introduced there.” “People with these backwards ways of thinking astound me. “With vaccines come doctors. With doctors come diagnoses. “Just because you didn’t know you had it doesn’t mean it wasn’t there. Some people can make absolutely any excuse to tie autism to vaccines. “I believe I met Dale Bass’ autistic son, many years ago. “I think he’s the same age as my younger sister and was in one of her classes. “He’s a sweet boy and it makes me happy to hear Bass chose to focus on helping him become the best ‘him’ he can be, rather than trying every baseless magic trick in the book to try to ‘fix’ him.” — posted by Twelfthnight
Re: Story: Smailes boys of Kamloops honoured by ALS Society of B.C.:
“I wish I had two extra hands so I could gives these two boys four thumbs-up.” — posted by Pothead
Editor: Whole-hearted thanks is due Richard Boyce, president of United Steelworkers local 7619 at Highland Valley Copper, who spoke on Sunday, April 13, at Interior Savings Centre. Boyce apologized for his former pro-Ajax stance and addressed the subject of his speech, The Reality of Having a Mine on our Doorstep. He spoke with the honest clarity of one who’s been there, done
that and still does. The sound of ‘science’ is the sweet talk you hear when the mine is trying to gain acceptance. Very few facts are known until the mine is in operation. Is it wise to welcome a mine on the rim of our city? It shouldn’t be too hard to agree the time to decide is long before: • Dust is blowing when you for a walk; • Pollutants are aggravating
your asthma; • Vibration on your table top is accompanying your breakfast; • The sound of blasting is intruding on your thinking; • The operation has decided how many pieces of heavy equipment it will run; • Diesel trucks are spewing their fumes; • Water is being slurped up and the sludge is being sloughed off; • The tailings pile reaches the clouds; • Doctors are busier
— if they can be persuaded to keep their families here. Exaggeration? Well, maybe. Google it. Such talk is pure fear-mongering, you think? The mine isn’t in operation yet. How can anyone possibly know? You really prefer to wait and see? We’d certainly know then. Every mine exhibits the above. The only question is to what extent. Should we care?
As Boyce says, miners get paid, and paid very well, to take such risks. The 86,000 men, women and children who live in Kamloops won’t get paid — they’ll get shafted, like other communities in too close a proximity to mines. The proposed Ajax mine defies common sense. Kamloops council, let’s agree to stand up together. Collen Carbol Kamloops
Steelworkers’ president’s argument is backwards Editor: With respect, I suggest United Steelworkers local 7619 president Richard Boyce has it all backwards. In fact, Kamloops is too close to the site of the proposed Ajax mine. The ore deposit was here

Editor: Re: Cindy Rose’s letter of March 21 (‘Ajax event shows mine has great support’): The proposed Ajax mine does not have great support. The population of Greater Kamloops is 85,678. Despite the large sums of money KGHM has been throwing at (dare I say “bribing”?) local organizations and the glossy brochures it has been mailing out,
ore bodies. With a new planning report due out this year, one hopes council will do better this time around. Perhaps Boyce and his friends should consider moving their homes away from the Ajax ore body, for which,
2,000 people, which is a mere 2.3 per cent of the population, showed up for more freebies and a live band during KGHM’s March event at Interior Savings Centre. This is what I would call “bought” support, not “great” support. The good citizens of Kamloops oppose the location of this mine as it is too close to our city. Our friend the enemy would give us water, air and noise pollution and a scarred environment.

COVER PAGE STORY
to be chosen to rise on Lorne symbolize ‘hub city’ status.� Further description of the ball and lower element is not provided. Another apparently abstract design would represent the contact between Europeans and First Nations. First contact is a running theme in the submissions. Terry Norlander — another Overlanders statue veteran — proposed a seven-foot high bronze of David Stewart meeting First Nations people as one of his two submissions for the roundabout. Meeting of the Waters, his second concept, uses “two twisted, undulating and rising bands, one of polished steel (Europeans) and the other of polished bronze (First Nations)� to represent that same meeting. Vaughn Warren, who created the River Pole in front of the Sahali Superstore, proposed a pair of sculpted concrete pillars in two shades of green to represent the two rivers. The pillars would be textured with “clean, flowing line forms that balance flow with tur-
bulence, interspersed with large spheres of stone� sourced from various spots along the river, such as the Heffley rapids. Young artists Allen Okoye and Jo Wyers proposed building a threemetre plinth topped with a coyote sculpture pieced together like an intricate jigsaw puzzle using flat, water-resistant plywood. The recent Thompson Rivers University graduates (though their credentials are redacted, the pair make reference to their 2012 graduation at other points in their pitch) suggested the column on which the coyote would rest could be used to display plaques and other art pieces over time. Salt Spring artist Donald Gunn suggested a cowboy for the roundabout, with children’s play structures shaped like cattle installed nearby in Riverside Park as a complement. Chase’s Laurie Payne proposed a pair of hands from the roundabout, though he suggested one hand might be feminine and
of a different skin tone if the jury preferred. Hilton Landmarks Inc. of Waterloo, Ont., put forward a
female salmon. The most perplexing of the concepts
Another page of the submission is blank, save for the words “Instant Coffee: it doesn’t have to be good to be meaningful.� Rivers is due for an official unveiling later this spring, likely in late May. Around the same time, the city plans to install a second artistic piece in Riverside Park that will also serve as a sign to welcome visitors. Barbara Berger, the city’s manager of recreation, social development and culture, said details on the piece and its artist can’t be released to the public yet because a procurement process is still underway for the work.
design for Sharing 200, a mix of windspinner sculptures, native grasses to simulate the Thompson Rivers, and a red I-beam suspended in the air representing the Red Bridge. Canmore, Alta., artist Tom Hjorleifson said his sculpture was inspired by an encounter between two eagles he witnessed while visiting the city. Had it been built, the piece would have included bronze eagles, steel ribbons in the shape of a canoe and a base of sockeye salmon and steelhead. Leta Shores of Oliver proposed two concepts: A bronze of a fur trader meeting with a First Nations spear fisherman or a bronze sculpture of a male and

Help Your Children Build A Foundation For A Sound Financial Future When Your Children Were Young, You May Have Taught Them The Importance Of Saving Their Allowance And Counting Their Coins. However, As They Continue To Grow And Take On More Responsibility In Their Teenage And Post-Secondary Years, Your Children Face A Whole New Set Of Financial Challenges.
From managing part-time income and preparing for college or university to building and maintaining a good credit rating, the decisions your children make, with your guidance, can help them build a strong financial foundation for their future and set them up for long-term financial success. Here are some steps you can take with children in their teens and 20s to help educate them about finances, managing their money and preparing for the future. MONEY MANAGEMENT 101 – FOR TEENAGERS Manage Part-Time Income. A first job is exciting for any teenager, with money comes freedom and independence, but it can also come with the temptation to simply spend, spend, spend. Teach your teens how to manage their part-time income with a focus on finding a good balance between spending, saving and sharing and they’ll be in better shape as their financial obligations grow. GRASP THE BASICS OF BUDGETS AND BILLS Teach your children how to budget their money and they’ll gain a skill that’s useful for life. Understanding how much money they make every month and how much of that money they need to pay their bills instills a habit of paying bills first. Consider something you pay for, such as your child’s cell phone, sports team membership or iTunes account, and have your child pay you for this expense. Grasping the importance of meeting financial obligations is an important step towards financial literacy.
25
( 1))
BUDGET FOR THE EXPECTED AND THE UNEXPECTED Budgeting for the things you know your children will need for a year at school, such as money for rent, tuition, books and food, is important – but budgeting for the unexpected, such as a broken computer or unscheduled trip home, will help your children avoid undue financial stress at school.
ORGANIZE AND MANAGE LOANS AND SCHOLARSHIPS Student loans, scholarships and bursaries help offset the cost of post-secondary education. Encourage your children to visit their school’s financial aid office, as many colleges and universities have lists of little known scholarships and bursaries. One challenge, however, is that this money is often dispensed as a lump sum – and while it may seem like a lot of money at the outset, making it last through an entire school year requires a solid budget and deep understanding of where that money needs to go. START TO BUILD GOOD CREDIT Understanding credit and implementing good habits early on will help your children build a strong credit rating. Establishing credit is the first step. For example, if they have a cell phone in your name, transfer it to them. You can also get them a student credit card with a manageable limit, such as $500, and encourage them to use it for budgeted items, such as textbooks. Paying off the full amount each month is good practice for a time when their limit may be much higher. Suggest they put a monthly payment reminder in their smartphone. In addition, many banks offer smartphone apps that allow customers to pay for credit card purchases right after they’re made. YOU’RE NOT ALONE – YOUR ADVISOR CAN HELP No matter what their age, helping your children manage their money can seem like a daunting task. There is help, your advisor can recommend strategies for borrowing, saving and budgeting, and help your children understand the bigger financial picture. An advisor can also recommend the best types of high interest savings accounts, tax-free savings accounts (TFSAS) or other savings vehicles for your children. So, whether you are just starting to teach your teens Money Management 101 or are ready to send them off to college or university, consider contacting your advisor today.

Rural Quebec rich in history and vineyards By Karoline Cullen SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com
I
CHANT, “I’M IN Canada, now I’m in the States,” as I step back and forth over the border line. Then, with one foot on either side, I declare I’m in both. At the Haskell Free Library and Opera House, which was deliberately built over the international boundary in the early 1900s, I can simultaneously stand in Stanstead, Que. and Derby Line, Verm. The building’s front door and audience seats are in the United States, while the circulation desk, books and stage are in Canada. Gary and I are meandering through the rural areas of the Montérégis and the Eastern Townships southeast of Montreal, Que. Toodling along country roads, appreciating the scenery, finding covered bridges, tasting artisan products and making small-town discoveries like borderspanning buildings, all enhance our leisurely sojourn from the city. With the traffic snarls of Montreal behind us, the countryside gently welcomes us. The road undulates over treed hills tinged with the golds, oranges and reds of autumn. Stands of tapped maple trees and pastures dotted with cows alternate with vineyards and apple orchards. Branches bend with apples aplenty so weekenders heading for
U-pick will surely fill their buckets in no time. It must be a spectactular sight when these trees are frothy with white and pink blossoms in the spring. Baskets of apples, stacks of pumpkins and bouquets of flowers tempt us from roadsidehonour stands. Many territorial struggles amongst the British, French and Americans were fought in this bucolic countryside. A wood blockhouse, dating from 1781, stands in a small Lacolle park. This remnant of the fortifications built by the British to defend against invading American forces is the last remaining structure of its kind in Quebec. From a short video, we learn a mere 500 men remarkably repelled an attack by more than 4,000 Americans in the spring of 1814. The blockhouse held, but the dark walls are scarred with musket ball holes. We stay in Sutton for a couple of nights. Loyalists established the town in 1799 and French-speaking settlers followed in the mid1800s. With this heritage, no wonder so many people are effortlessly bilingual. I start conversations in my rudimentary French, but am often answered in English. Our hotel hosts are effusive about their town. “It’s vibrant!”

Michel explains as I indulge in the crispest, lightest French toast at breakfast. Afterwards, he recommends several scenic stops along the Route de Vins. The country road is virtually empty of cars as we sedately dawdle along. Cresting a hill, we see Vermont’s Green Mountains in the distance. With a wrong turn, we land up at a tiny-border crossing — oops, time to turn around. Back on the route, we find the apple-treelined drive of Domaine Pinnacle.
Some of these trees were planted almost a century ago. The turret on the mid-1800s farmhouse served as a border lookout and the house may have been a stop on the Underground Railroad. I taste several icedcider products and declare the sparkling one my favourite. Picking frozen apples must be cold and difficult work. Nearby, Frelighsburg has many stone and brick buildings dating from mid-1800 loyalist times. At the general store, all cozy with warm woods and delicious aromas, we finish lunch
with a piece of their famous sugar pie. Mildly maple flavoured, it is akin to a pecan pie without pecans. Further along the route, we are tempted by other tastings of cidre et vin, and one vineyard adds a cultural twist with bizarre sculptures along its paths. We picnic beside a red, century old, round barn — one of only nine remaining in Quebec. Round barns, according to folklore, have no corners for the devil to hide in and do his mischief. We discover several covered bridges from
the 1800s before visiting the Saint-Benoit-duLac Abbey. Its grey buildings are beautifully situated beside apple orchards on the serene shores of Lake Memphremagog. For more than 100 years, Benedictine monks have followed a religious, contemplative life here. I walk the halls in hushed silence — what a treat it would be to hear the monks’ Gregorian chants resonating around the austere chapel. North Hatley curves beautifully along the top of Lake Massawippi. A flower-lined pier leads to a pagoda over-

COMMUNITY EMERGENCY NOSTALGIA It’s been eight years in the making, but the Austin Sheerline ambulance is finally ready to once again hit the streets of Kamloops. The vehicle, purchased by the city in 1952, was Kamloops’ first purpose-built ambulance, with previous incarnations being re-purposed farm trucks or decomissioned military vehicles. In this photo, Kamloops Coun. Ken Christian is shaking hands with Dick Parkes, chairman of the restoration project for the Kamloops Vintage Car Club. Also pictured are Don Campbell and Bob Gieselman. Parkes said their project has garnered interest from car buffs across Canada and across the Atlantic, being that the Kamloops Sheerline is the only left-hand drive model in existence. The vehicle will be leading the club’s annual Easter parade tomorrow (April 19), starting in Westsyde at 1 p.m. and wrapping up with a show-and-shine at Riverside Park between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. Dave Eagles/KTW

Lacrosse-helmet regulations controversial By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
P
LAYERS AND managers in the B.C. Lacrosse Association are frustrated with a new helmet and facemask regulation they feel is unsafe. The rule resulted in the cancellation of a senior C men’s lacrosse game between the Kamloops Rattlers and the Kelowna Raiders on the weekend. The regulation, new to players at the senior level for 2014, was implemented throughout the Canadian Lacrosse Association (CLA) in 2013. It requires all players wear a helmet-and-facemask combination
KAMLOOPS
that has been Canadian Standards Association-approved or a fieldlacrosse helmet that has been National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipmentapproved. The new regulation was passed at the CLA’s 2012 AGM and appears to have been a move to ensure all players are wearing helmets certified by a governing safety agency, though the CLA did not return KTW’s request for confirmation. Despite the safety certification, players and managers feel the new equipment setup is needlessly unsafe. “They brought in these new masks which, by the way, are totally inadequate in my opinion,” said

Jules Morris, president and general manager of the Kelowna Raiders. The Raiders travelled to Kamloops for a Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League matchup on April 11, but the club was forced to forfeit when officials left Memorial Arena because Kelowna’s helmets weren’t compliant with the new policy. “They’re unsafe and inadequate and if you talk to almost anyone that plays upper-level lacrosse, they’re going to tell you the same thing,” Morris said. Prior to this season, players were mounting their facemasks (cages) directly to their helmets using four screws — the mask was stationary and immovable and the helmet slipped over the head,
G N I R B S U YOUR ! D E S U
much like a football helmet. The helmets used football-style chin cups that wrapped under the chin and strapped to the side of the helmet. They could be snapped on and off. The new setup, however, uses a chin cup that is fastened to the facemask. The mask must be moveable, lifting up in the front like a hockey cage. Morris said the new design, which is similar to a hockey helmet, is inappropriate for lacrosse — in lacrosse, players are often tracking a ball that is above their head, forcing them to look up. He is now seeing uncharacteristic injuries with the new system, as players are taking impact on the bottom of the masks and the force
is being transferred into the chin. Because the old masks sat away from the face, it wasn’t a problem. Morris isn’t alone in his concerns with the changes. Mark Jurista, the Rattlers’ captain and player president, said players in the Tournament Capital feel the same way. “Everybody on our team feels the other setup felt safer,” Jurista said. “It was a lot harder to get off. It was more stable. “It was definitely a lot better.” Both Jurista and Morris said it seems liability concerns are driving the changes, with insurance companies putting pressure on the CLA to require use of certified equipment.

Head coach Sean Wandler nailed it with his 2013 pre-season prediction, suggesting the loss of eight graduating Grade 12s would likely lead to an up-and-down campaign for his midget AAA Kamloops RiverDogs. The Dogs finished 18-22 and were bumped from the provincial championship in Chilliwack in the round-robin stage. He gave KTW his outlook on the 2014 B.C. Minor Baseball Association season on Thursday, April 17, two days before opening day. “We’re fairly balanced age-wise, with the four Grade 12s, five Grade 11s and five Grade 10s,� said Wandler, a chartered accountant with Daley and Company who is smack-dab in the middle of tax season. “At the same time, we’re kind of spread out, so we don’t have those eight or nine Grade 12s to take the bull by the horns. “With the mix, we’ve got some talent, so hopefully we’ll be in the middle of the pack and compete.� Kamloops opens its schedule at home on Saturday, April 19, with a doubleheader
against the South Okanagan Tigers of Penticton at the Canada Games Field on McArthur Island. Game 1 gets underway at 1 p.m., with first pitch in the second tilt slated for 3:30 p.m. Expected to lead by example this season are the elder statesmen — outfielders Brennen Hegel and Isiah McDonald and infielders Jackson Lowes and Riley Johnson. “I think they’re going to step up and take a leadership role,� Wandler said of the Grade 12 players. The Cloverdale Colts won the provincial championship last season, but they lost some key players to graduation and premier baseball, so they might take a step back in 2014. Victoria is usually strong, drawing from a large pool of players, and Wandler said Chilliwack might be a team to watch this season, having hired Shawn Corness to head up the midget AAA program. He was a pitching coach, assistant coach and chief recruiter with the UBC Thunderbirds before jumping ship to Chilliwack. “That brought some people out of the woodwork in Chilliwack, just

PROPOSED SALE OF PART OF WHITFIELD LANDING PROPERTY COLLAPSED For Immediate Release (April 15, 2014): The Village of Chase was informed by Leroy Reitsma, Chief Operating Officer and President, Pinnacle Renewable Energy Group on April 8, 2014 that the company’s plans to purchase land in the Village of Chase for the construction of a pellet plant have changed. According to Reitsma, he recently signed a ‘collapse’ form on the proposed purchase of a portion of property on Aylmer Road.
Ashley Bagabuyo of the Kamloops Classic Swimming club was a high-point aggregate winner at the Prince George Dental Moose Meet, which wrapped up on Sunday, April 13. Allen Douglas/KTW
Moose Meet yields medals The Kamloops Classic Swimming club finished second at the 10-team Prince George Dental Moose Meet, which wrapped up on Sunday, April 13. Ashley Bagabuyo, in the 11-year-old girls’ division, and Austin Phillips, in the 12- and 13-year-old boys’ division, were meet high-point
aggregate winners. Ryley McRae was a highpoint aggregate runner-up in the 12- and 13-year-old boys’ category. He qualified in the 100-metre fly for the 2014 Canadian Age Group Swimming Championships in Winnipeg this summer. Sarah Koopmans and Trevor Laupland, swimming in the
girls’ and boys’ 11-year-old divisions, respectively, were second runners-up, as was Makena Sutherland, in both the 14- and15-year-old and 15-and-over girls’ categories. There were 287 swimmers from B.C. and Alberta at the meet. The Classics had 91 podium finishes.

The teams will be forced to go along with the new regulations as it doesn’t appear any changes are on the horizon. “If you want to play, we’ve got to comply,� Jurista said. “Even if we don’t like it, that’s the way it is.� When it came to the April 11 game between the two clubs, it was simply a miscommunication that resulted in the Raiders’ forfeiture. The memo slipped by Morris, who usually has players and coaches at a variety of clinics reporting back with rule changes for the upcoming season. That didn’t happen this year and Kelowna took the loss in the Kamloops home opener. “I’m going to take full blame for it,�
VOLUNTEER NEEDED The Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops is looking for a qualified volunteer for the position of Treasurer on the Board of Directors. This person would be responsible for the direction and policy for financial matters pertaining to the Club. The successful volunteer would be a community minded person with expertise in general accounting principles and practice. If you are interested to learn more, please contact Traci Anderson at 250-554-5437 ext. 205 or email exdir@bgckamloops.com
Morris told KTW. He said the team has ordered the new masks and is hoping to have them in time for Kelowna’s next game, at home on Friday, April 25. The Raiders and Rattlers played an exhibition game on April 11, which Kamloops won 12-5, but it was a disappointing result after the excitement that comes with the beginning of a new season. “At least we got an exhibition game out of it for the people that came out and watched. At least we played some lacrosse,� Jurista said. “We still got two points out of it but, still, everybody wanted to play a real game, no matter what. It’s not the same when you get two points from that kind of game, as opposed to a real win.� Kamloops’ next game is scheduled for Saturday, April 26, in Armstrong against the Shamrocks.
RIDERS
Chase residents will recall that Pinnacle Pellet applied to have part of the Whitfield Landing Property rezoned from Residential to Industrial in 2013. After two public hearings and other land use change procedures being completed, Council passed a unanimous resolution to adopt the bylaw that amended the land use to M-2 industrial for the property between 3rd Avenue and the BC Hydro right-of-way, along the Northeast side of Aylmer Road. The proposal would have offered up to 25 jobs within the plant and another 15 associated trucking jobs and the Village would have benefited from taxation revenue generated, providing more funds to deal with ongoing issues in the community. Upon completion of the subdivision currently underway for the Whitfield Landing property, the owner will be in a position to offer approximately 25 acres of industrially zoned land and 2 large parcels of residentially zoned land for future development. -30For more information, contact Joni Heinrich, Chief Administrative Officer, Village of Chase 250.679.3238; cao@chasebc.ca

Hicketts, Gropp at world championship A pair of Kamloops hockey players are wearing the Maple Leaf at the 2014 IIHF Ice Hockey under-18 World Championship, which got underway on Thursday, April 17. Joe Hicketts of the Victoria Royals and Ryan Gropp of the Seattle Thunderbirds will be playing for Canada in the World Championship. The Western Hockey League pair are in Finland with Canada, with games being played in Lappeenranta and Imatra. The tournament wraps up on April 27. Both players are Kamloops Minor Hockey Association products. Hicketts played the 2013-2014 season with the Royals and tallied 24 points, including six goals, in 36
games. The second-year defenceman represented Canada in its goldmedal run at the 2013 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament and was a member of Team Pacific in the 2013 World under-17 Hockey Challenge. Gropp last season finished with 42 points, including 18 goals, in 59 games. He was also a member of Team Pacific in 2013. Canada played Sweden on Thursday. Germany, Slovakia and Russia are also in Canada’s pool. Canada is a three-time goal medallist at the under-18 tournament, capturing titles in 2003, 2008 and 2013.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jesus Carlos Plascencia Lopez of Kamloops, BC, on April 15th, 2014 at 80 years of age. Carlos is survived by his wife, Ruth Lopez, children Tania (Steve) Bilcik of Creston, BC, Blanca (Almer) Fletcher of Kamloops, BC, Heidi (Frank) Schlick of Vauxhall, AB, and Carlos (Stacie) Lopez Jr. of Creston, BC, as well as Ian Roberston, James (Judy) Robertson, Carey (Michelle) Robertson, and David (Lori) Robertson.

Carlos is also survived by his brothers, Gabriel, Federeico, and Clotilde. Carlos is predeceased by his father, Marciano, and mother, Isabella, as well as his brothers Alfredo, Antonio and José-Luis. Carlos had an amazing, and interesting, life. He ran pre-Olympic track, before tackling bullfighting, and later moving on to be an air force pilot in the Mexican Air Force. Carlos also graduated from the University of Guadalajara with a law degree. Always singing, he was finally noticed and offered a job as a professional entertainer, which he took and ran with for years. He loved to tinker and fiddle with just about anything he could get his hands on. Carlos will also be remembered for his witty and sarcastic sense of humour, but also for how funny his lost-in-translation quips could be. Carlos was a deeply religious man, belonging to the St. John Vianney congregation for many years. He will be deeply missed by all that knew and loved him, but we will remember him always with the song in our hearts. The family would like to extend a special thank you to the nursing staff at Kamloops Hospice, Dr. Thomasse; to Blanca and Ruth, who never left Carlos’ side, and to Geoffrey at the Kamloops Funeral Home, for his assistance in this sensitive time. In lieu of flowers, donations in Carlos’ memory may be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice.

I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

In Memoriam
Today, April 14 2014, we mourn the loss of our dear papa, husband, and dad, Clarence Neis.
April 16, 2011
GARTH JAMES ROBERT SULLIVAN
Clarence Neis was born February 24th 1933 in Cudworth Saskatchewan. Clarence is predeceased by his parents and all five siblings. He passed away warm in his bed, with his wife of 58 years by his side, and his loving children and grandchildren surrounding him.
July 28, 1978 – April 19, 2004
Leaving behind him is his beautiful wife, Joyce Neis, and 7 children. His seven children who loved their dad greatly: Shirley (Bob), Leo, Edward, Bertha (Roger), Agnes (Tom), Angeline (Phil), and April. Clarence had 15 grandchildren and nine greatgrandchildren who he cherished dearly. Clarence had many hobbies that made him the wonderful man he was. He enjoyed tending to his garden, curling during the winter months, lawn bowling during the summer months, and playing hockey during his younger years. During the winter he would turn his garden into a skating rink to feel and see the happiness of spending time with his children and grandchildren. Clarence was a faithful man whom was part of the OLPH parish and strong willed for the faith he believed in. He was passionate about the job he had, for 38 years, of driving trains for the CN railway. Even after retirement, he continued his love for the railway by driving the train for the Wildlife Park. Dedicating his time to making the children smile, by blowing the horn of the train, was always a favourite way to spend his time. Clarence was an ear when you needed to talk, a hug when you needed comforting, and a wise soul when you needed advice.
We’ll always remember that special smile, that caring heart, that warm embrace, you always gave us. You being there for Mom and us through good and bad times, no matter what. We’ll always remember you Dad because there will never be another one to replace you in our hearts, and the love we will always have for you.
If you would like to celebrate the life of Clarence Neis; the Prayers are Tuesday April 22 at 7:00 pm, and the funeral is Wednesday April 23 at 11:00 am at OLPH, 635 Tranquille Rd, Father Peter officiating.
Its been 3 years and not a day goes by that we don’t think of you and miss you.
The spirit and life of this beautiful man will forever live on.
Love you always, Marilyn, Kaitlyn, Alana and Shannon
Ten years have passed, but not one day without loving thoughts of you. Always missed and ever remembered. Mom, Vanessa, Grama & Grampa, extended family, Kr ystale, Jenna, Dad, and many friends.

Sweet to serenade with simplicity By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Amber Quesnel was getting good at waiting. With her mother ill with cancer, the Winnipeg-based guitarist and covocalist for Sweet Alibi had plenty of opportunities to practise waiting, particularly at the hospital. It was during that downtime the song that’s become her band’s biggest hit to date began to take shape, a tune called, simply, I’ll Wait. “It started with that, the lyric ‘I’ll wait’ because it’s a lot of waiting around for results,” said Quesnel. “It was kind of literal for me at the very beginning.” With help from bandmates Jess Rae Ayre and Michelle Anderson,

WHO: Sweet Alibi WHEN: Tuesday, April 22 WHERE: Red Beard Roasters, 449 Tranquille Rd. TICKETS: Available through Kamloops Live Box Office at 1025 Lorne St., kamloopslive.ca or 250-374-5483.
I’ll Wait became a wider reflection on mortality and caregiving, wrapped up in smoky R&B vocals that might surprise those who know the band best by its Canadian Folk Music Award-winning first album. The song topped the CBC’s adultalternative chart in Canada and has helped the group find an audience beyond the folk scene.
But, I’ll Wait isn’t the only serious track on Sweet Alibi’s sophomore album, We’ve Got To, songs from which the band will bring to Kamloops on Tuesday, April 22. While Quesnel was dealing with her mother’s cancer, other band members had their own struggles to work through. Anderson was dealing with homesickness brought on by extensive touring, while Ayers was working toward sobriety. That journey sparked another album track — Get it Right. “It just came naturally,” said Quesnel. “You write about what’s happening in your life.” But, while the turn to the serious came on its own, the band was also working to broaden its sound beyond the folk and roots tunes that had

NEW ONLINE LISTINGS! www.KamloopsThisWeek.com/Realestate
dominated its early work. Though the banjo has stayed, Sweet Alibi’s later material leans more heavily on pop, soul and R&B. The number of players in the band is also up. For this tour, Sweet Alibi is a six-piece effort, with extra musicians helping broaden the group’s sound. “Dynamically with the songs, they’re just more mature,” Quesnel said. “The first album you hear it and you can tell this is a band just starting . . . you’ve got to keep moving forward and expanding.” Sweet Alibi is at Red Beard Roasters, 449 Tranquille Rd., on Tuesday, April 22, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available through Kamloops Live Box Office at kamloopslive.ca or 250-374-5483.

THOROUGH PREPARATION MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE
achievements. Determine the recruiters’ expectations, too: When they offer details about their organization, its mission and corporate values, you will get a good idea of the type of employees they need. Learn your CV by heart to make it easier for you to control what you say during the interview. Then, identify what motivates you and what your career goals are. Prepare yourself mentally by starting with confidence and a winning attitude. Put aside all concerns that could block
your energy. Arrive at the interview with your CV. A wellgroomed appearance combined with a firm handshake and a confident smile will give a good
impression. Greet the interviewer by name. Sit up straight and maintain eye contact with the people you’re talking to; be natural. Don’t interrupt and don’t hesitate to ask for
a question to be rephrased if you didn’t understand something. Show your interest and, at the end of the interview, don’t
hesitate to ask a few questions. Remember to thank the interviewers and to initiate handshakes with each of them.

In Loving Memory of
TIMOTHY J. HALMOSI August 8, 1962 January 18, 2014
In Memory of
GEORGE NORMAN MACLEOD
Sometimes I sense a little flutter. Like a shadow swiftly slipping by. Or I hear a silent, gentle murmur, Like a soft whisper from the sky. Sometimes, I hear you call my name, Or clearly see your face before me. And I feel that you are with me still. Then peacefully ... I come to know As I am thinking happy thoughts of you, You, my son, are thinking of me too. Loving memories fill my aching heart. As dreaming dreams of what could be ... Or might have been, if you were here. Until the piercing pain of losing you Comes tumbling down on trembling fear. And clearly once again I hear you say, “But Mom ... What if I had never been? You could not then in Love remember me.”
Love, Mom
PETER GRAUER October 1941 April 2013
November 1, 1931 ~ April 26, 2013 Esther 1922-2011 Albert 1908-1977 God called your name so gently that only you could hear No one heard the footsteps of the Angel drawing near. Softly from the shadows, there came a gentle call, You closed your eyes and went to sleep You quietly left us all.
Forever Missed
You thrived in the open, free spirit of the North...You were born to teach actively and instinctively, through humour and play. You loved each child unconditionally and made every lesson fun. You amazed everyone with your memory for names, even years later, and your cheery “Hi! How’s it going?” brightened everyone’s day .... You fullled your destiny, Kelly. You were one of the few who truly make a diͿerence to the lives of others.
Shine on, sweetheart, Love, Mum, Dad, and Greg
