School closure ‘legally invalid’? LAWYER FOR RESIDENTS’ GROUP SAYS YES; SCHOOL DISTRICT DISAGREES DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A downtown Kamloops residents’ association believes the board of education’s decision to close Stuart Wood elementary is “legally invalid” and has a lawyer’s assessment to back its assertion. In a letter to the Kamloops-Thompson school district, Micah Rankin of Jensen Law Corp. said “the board’s process did not comply with the School Act, Ministerial Order 194/08, or its own internal school-closure policy.” Among various arguments, Rankin noted the board has not yet adopted a bylaw dealing with the closure of Stuart Wood, as mandated by the School Act. However, Karl deBruijn, superintendent of the KamloopsThompson school district, disagreed with Rankin’s view, noting there is plenty of time to pass a formal bylaw to close Stuart Wood as the doors will not be shuttered until September 2016. DeBruijn said the board of education’s

ANDREA KLASSEN/KTW

Downtown and West End Residents’ Association members, including executive member Jenny Reid (left), acting chairman Bruce Thompson and Ruth Madsen, told media at a press conference yesterday (Nov. 5) that the associtaion believes School District 73’s decision to close Stuart Wood elementary is legally flawed.

June 23 decision to close Stuart Wood included several other reconfiguration decisions that flow from the decision, including moving Stuart Wood students to Beattie School of the Arts elementary, then moving those Beattie kids to the Beattie secondary building on Ninth Avenue, creating a kindergarten to Grade 12 fine-arts school.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Education, speaking on background only, said closing a school is ultimately a board of education decision, noting the ministry simply needs to be kept informed of the process. That is particularly true if the physical building is owned by the school district, as there are rules about alternate uses or sale.

But, the Stuart Wood situation is unique because the school is in a building owned by the City of Kamloops, with the land title including a clause that the building must be used for educational purposes for it to remain in city hands. Rankin, who was retained by the Downtown and West End Residents’ Association (DWERA),

said the board “held only a single public meeting — in North Kamloops — and placed limits on how individuals could participate.” Rankin included in his list of deficiencies in the board’s action its refusal to accept additional information after its stated June 9 deadline for public input, its refusal to allow DWERA to make a presentation to the board on June 23 and the emails that suggest the “closure process was tailored to avoid negative media attention and not to facilitate public participation in its decision.” Noting the ongoing municipal election, Rankin has asked for a response from the district by Dec. 1. His letter is now in the hands of the school district’s legal team. DWERA executive member Jenny Reid said while the bylaw issue is considered important, she is more concerned with email correspondence the association received through a freedom-ofinformation request.

LAWYER’S ARGUMENT CITES SCHOOL ACT The ministerial order lawyer Micah Rankin refers to in his legal opinion on the closure of Stuart Wood elementary is part of the province’s School Act. It states when a school is being permanently closed, a board must allow for public consultation that is “a fair consideration of the community’s input and adequate opportunity for the community to respond to the board’s proposal to close the school permanently.” It also requires trustees to consider possible alternative community use for all or part of the school. The building that houses the school is owned by the City of Kamloops. On Oct. 3, Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar held a press conference to announce city officials had learned earlier of a covenant on the property that would see it revert back to the province if it is not used for educational purposes. At that conference, Milobar also announced an agreement with Thompson Rivers University to pursue the possibility of the post-secondary facility using the St. Paul Street building. At that time, Kamloops-Thompson board of education chairwoman Denise Harper said trustees had been unaware of the building’s covenant until mid-September and knew nothing about talks that might lead to a downtown university campus. Milobar said then the information was not provided to trustees so they could make their decision on the future of Stuart Wood in a transparent way. In a package of emails of correspondence between schoolboard administration and trustees — obtained by the Downtown and West End Residents’ Association — a June 24 email from Kamloops-Thompson school district secretary-treasurer Kelvin Stretch to then-superintendent Terry Sullivan and Harper addresses a “courtesy telephone call” to the city’s CAO, David Trawin. Stretch’s email said he notified Trawin of the board’s June 23 decision to close Stuart Wood and relocate the staff and students to a school on McGill Road by September 2016. In his email, Stretch said Trawin “was pleased the board made a decision — he was OK one way or the other . . . He indicated the mayor may be making an announcement over the next day or two indicating what the city has planned for the closed school in 2016 . “David passed on his thanks to our trustees for their unanimous decision,” Stretch said in his email.

Emails show some trustees shared concerns

From A1

The emails show some trustees were concerned they were not giving the public enough opportunity to provide input.; however, at the June 23 board meeting, each trustee voted in favour of the school’s closure. On Friday, June 20, three days before the meeting at which the decision was made, trustee Joan Cowden emailed her colleagues: “It is very important that we postpone our decisions about Stuart Wood on Monday evening.” Board chairwoman Denise Harper sent a reply to Cowden’s concern: “After considerable thought, I am coming to the conclusion that we need to take a

step back from a decision Monday night.” Thensuperintendent Terry Sullivan sent an email to trustees later on June 20, telling them “the board is free to make whatever decision the board, in its wisdom, wants to make” about closing Stuart Wood. After suggesting trustees might want to meet in-camera before the board meeting, Sullivan wrote: “I think any risk to the board is not in the decision you make, but being perceived as having lost control of the process.” Other emails refer to a letter sent to the board on June 20 from DWERA and the Sagebrush Neighbourhood Association (SNA),

which held a public meeting on June 18 to discuss the potential school closure. In that letter, Denis Walsh, then-DWERA chairman, asked trustees to listen to the shared position and concerns of the two groups. In a May 21 email exchange, Sullivan told Harper he saw problems with when the public would receive the report that Stuart Wood was being considered for closure. He was responding to an email from Harper, in which she noted she was concerned “if this matter appears on the publicmeeting agenda for the May 21 meeting, the media will begin pressuring trustees for comments and we may

see the gallery full of interested parties. “If trustees elect to delay making a decision, that will be bad optics. Would you not agree it would be better to leave it off the agenda and anticipate a decision in June?” Sullivan replied, noting the June 9 board meeting was scheduled to be held in Logan Lake: “There would be problems with the optics of that and some criticism that we are dealing with it for the first time in an out-oftown location without media coverage. “If the board waits until June 23, I think there are greater problems with that because it is very late in the day and what do we do if there are more ques-

tions at that point? That is why I suggested that the earlier that it is out there the better.” Harper told KTW this week that her concern in June was based on feedback she received that a joint DWERA-Sagebrush Neighbourhood Association (SNA) group would be asking to present a new idea

on the future of the school to trustees on June 23. Harper said the board received a letter sent on June 20 from DWERA and SNA, asking trustees to listen to the shared position and concerns of the two groups. “But, we didn’t see anything new there,” Harper said, noting trustees chose to make the decision to close Stuart Wood based on “the educational needs of the students.” As for Rankin’s claim of lack of public input, Harper replied: “We received input from mid-November to June. How much more do they want?” As for Rankin’s argument the one public meeting held took place

on the North Shore, Harper noted it was held at the Henry Grube Education Centre. “It is our building and the only one big enough to hold a large crowd,” Harper said. In his letter to the school district, Rankin said sections of the School Act and a specific Ministerial Order require that a board only close a school through a bylaw. “In the case of Stuart Wood (and, indeed, previous school closures), the board failed to do this,” Rankin wrote. However, in past board of education agendas perused by KTW, it appears previous school closures in the KamloopsThompson district were indeed done via the adoption of bylaws.

Union, Domtar sign deal Unifor Local 10B and Domtar have signed a deal that expands apprenticeship training and solves outstanding issues stemming from the closure last year of the Kamloops pulp mill’s A-Line. The union and company said the agreement solves outstanding issues related to the closure and layoff of 125

workers in 2013, secures retirement packages for some senior workers and retains laid-off employees on a recall list. In addition to the apprenticeship framework, the agreement establishes scholarships and bursaries the company and union will administer.

Kamloops may be a three-hour drive from Greater Vancouver, but respective real-estate markets are in a different universe. Numbers provided by Kamloops and District Real Estate Association and Central 1 Credit Union show sales growth in the Tournament Capital is flat, with housing prices largely unchanged since 2010. That compares to a forecast by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. that prices in Vancouver will rise by 5.6 per cent this year to a record high. Sales on MLS are expected to jump by more than 13 per cent by the end of the year. MLS residential sales compiled by the Kamloops Real Estate Board show residential sales are down about 30 per cent from the same period last year. The median price — which can vary widely month to month due to the small market size — was $346,000 in October, down from $367,000 in July. Average prices for Fraser Valley residential properties are expected to increase by four per cent, to $510,000, by year’s end. Bryan Yu, housing economist for Central 1 Credit Union, said land-title data shows overall residential sales in the Thompson-Nicola are similar to last year. Those numbers include for sale-by-owner units and sales of new homes. “In B.C., it’s been the case that in Vancouver Island, Interior and North, sales are much less than pre-recession levels,” Yu said. “Growth has been in the larger urban areas.” Some of that is driven by in-migration of residents from offshore or elsewhere in Canada. Yu said sales of newly constructed homes in Kamloops are down 30 per cent from last year. “The market [in Kamloops] is lagging, even compared to Kelowna — Kelowna’s having very strong sales, a rebound cycle,” he said. Statistics from Central 1 show median prices in Kamloops unchanged from 2010. Venture Kamloops executive director Jim Anderson said the local housing market typically lags Greater Vancouver and Kelowna. “The optimist in me is that we’ll head into an upswing in 2015. Kelowna is seeing activity. I’m hoping that we’ll follow,” Anderson said. Cyndi Crossley, vice-president of Kamloops and District Real Estate Association, said local housing inventories are creeping up. “We’re not in what I’d classify as a buyers’ market, [but] we’re heading that direction,” she said. The majority of sales action is in the $280,000 to $440,000 range, Crossley said.

KTW Christmas Cheer picks four charities DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

our charities have been chosen for this year’s Christmas Cheer campaign — the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter, New Life Mission, Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice and the Sensational Soups program run by Mount Paul United Church. The soup program is new to the annual fundraiser, one brought to the city by Gregg Drinnan more than 12 years ago and kept alive by Kamloops This Week after the Kamloops Daily News — where Drinnan worked and ran the campaign — closed earlier this year. The other three charities have been recipients in the past. Michelle Walker, general manager for Violence Against Women Intervention, said the shelter has seen “huge numbers, more than ever before” in recent months, so support from the Cheer fund will help it “make sure we can provide those core services, meet those needs. “It’s critical for us to have this kind of community support.” Mission director Stan Duek said his organization is also seeing more and more people using its programs. Dueck said support through the Cheer fund will help it expand hours at its outreach centre on West Victoria Street and perhaps increase programming. One aspect Dueck wants to address is going beyond simply feeding homeless and transient people to ensure there is plenty of time for socializing and relaxing — just enjoying being inside with others. Delores Owen, manager of Sensational Soups, was overwhelmed at being accepted this year by the Cheer committee. She said the program, which began on Jan 12, 2012, sees volunteers head to the North Shore church every Tuesday and Thursday morning at about 8 a.m., where they make soups, sandwiches and desserts to feed low-income or homeless people. Lunches see anywhere from 50 to 150 people show up, Owen said, depending on the time of year and weather. The soup program is run through donations only, with the church providing a venue and use of its kitchen so support from the Cheer fund will be

a huge boost for it, Owen said. The Cheer campaign officially starts on Monday, Dec. 1, right after the annual Santa Claus Parade kicks off the season in Kamloops, and will continue to Dec. 24. As of Dec. 1, donations will be accepted at the KTW office on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Cheques can be mailed to KTW, 1365B Dalhousie Dr., V2C 5P6. Tax receipts will be issued for donations of $10 or more. Through a partnership with the ThompsonNicola-Cariboo United Way, an online option is also available this year. Charities were chosen by a committee composed of Thompson Rivers University’s Larry Read, lawyer Scott Huyghebaert (both of whom worked with Drinnan in the past on the fund), the United Way’s Dannalee Baker, and KTW human-resources manager Cindi Hamoline. Through the dozen years Drinnan ran the campaign in Kamloops, it raised $667,714.68. The original campaign he started in 1992 in Saskatchewan, when he was working at the Regina Leader-Post, has, as of last year, raised more than $2.5 million. Drinnan never set a goal but saw the Kamloops campaign grow from $21,891.37 in its first year to a high of $100,000-plus in 2012. KTW hasn’t set a goal — although it should be noted that a toonie from everyone in the city would add up to some pretty nice support cheques for the charities to continue their work in the city.

PRESIDENT'S CHOICE

Girl talks of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the secretâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; A 12-year-old Merritt girl took long pauses and glanced often at her mother in the courtroom gallery as she described in painstaking detail how she claims to have been sexually assaulted by her father over a period of years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something she referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the secret.â&#x20AC;? The accused, also from Merritt, cannot be identified to protect the identity of his daughter. The father is charged with one count each of sexual interference of a person under 16, sexual exploitation and sexual assault. Taking the stand yesterday (Nov. 5), the second day of her dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trial, the girl was asked to talk about what happened between her and her father.

The girl, now in Grade 7, said the sex acts began taking place on weekend visits with her father, who is not with her mother, in Grade 4 or Grade 5. The girl said her father would massage her and they would â&#x20AC;&#x153;touch privatesâ&#x20AC;? and kiss. She told court she would sometimes get on top of him â&#x20AC;&#x153;and move around.â&#x20AC;? On a number of occasions during her testimony, the girl asked if she could write her answer down because she was too uncomfortable to say it out loud â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something Justice Miriam Gropper allowed her to do. The alleged sex assaults came to light on June 20, 2012, when the girl opened up to her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boyfriend despite what she said were requests from her father to keep their secret private. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did he tell you what would

happen if it werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kept secret?â&#x20AC;? Crown prosecutor Will Burrows asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes,â&#x20AC;? the girl replied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said that I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see him again.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did that frighten you?â&#x20AC;? Burrows asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A little,â&#x20AC;? the girl replied. The girl testified she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know at the time it was wrong for â&#x20AC;&#x153;dads and daughters to do that.â&#x20AC;? She asked Burrows if she was in trouble for talking about what happened. At times during her testimony, the girl would glance at her father, who she only referred to by his first name. During her testimony, the girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother and other family members cried as they sat in the courtroom. The trial is expected to wrap up tomorrow.

A family washroom wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be coming to Riverside Park until at least next spring â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and not until the city undertakes either a major renovation or complete reconstruction of its existing bathroom building. At its last meeting before the Nov. 15 civic election, Kamloops city council agreed to allow the $120,000 it had budgeted for a gender-neutral washroom to roll over into the 2015 budget, to be put toward new washroom facilities for the park. The city had planned to purchase a Portland Loo â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a type of openbottomed outdoor washroom that can be hosed down â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but parks planner and sustainability supervisor Mike Doll told council that, during consultations for its Riverside to Pioneer Park master plan, many members of the public argued a whole new washroom building is needed in the park, as well as a better concession stand. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;People generally arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happy with them,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re outdated.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They generally either want to see them demolished and new ones built â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or major renovations.â&#x20AC;? Doll said putting a family washroom inside a heated building will also improve user experience in winter, compared to an unheated, stainlesssteel toilet. Though they agreed to the plan, councillors Marg Spina and Tina Lange expressed frustration and disappointment the project had not gone ahead in 2014 as planned. Lange urged parks staff to make the washroom one of its first priorities when the ground thaws in 2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want this to be another two years in the making,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like this to start in the spring.â&#x20AC;? Spina said the washroom is required for seniors, people with mobility issues who need help from caregivers, parents of young children and others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We pride ourselves on being an accessible city and I want to see this happen,â&#x20AC;? she said. A full Riverside to Pioneer park master plan will be at council before Christmas, Doll said.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

LOCAL NEWS

Save your home! Don’t sell your home unless you want to! Bills, household expenses and poorly structured mortgages can wreck havoc on the family finances. If this sounds like you, there are options to explore, and you often don’t have to sell your home unless you want to! Bills and high housing costs can sometimes be addressed by looking at three things: 1. Amortization For years, many lenders have been advising clients to choose 20 or 25 year amortizations so the client doesn’t have to pay as much interest over the life of the mortgage. Good idea right? Well, the problem is that sometimes the payments are so high that the client ends up putting emergency expenditures, vacations and other expenses on high interest credit cards. The result is that people end up paying off 3%, 4% and 5% mortgage debt and building up 9%, 19% and 29% credit card debt. The high credit card interest can become unbearable and force the sale of your home. 35 year amortizations are still available! Conditions apply 2. Refinancing In some cases, we can use the equity from your house to payoff credit card bills, car loans, etc. This means we pay off high interest debt with low interest debt. We can’t always change how much money you owe, but we can change how much interest you get charged on it. 3. Cashback Would a cashback mortgage work for you? In this type of mortgage, you receive a lumpsum of 2% or 5% at closing which you can use to reduce bills etc. The extra money can reduce overall household monthly payments or can be used to payoff closing costs or mortgage penalty. The mortgage payments are higher for this type of mortgage. If you are struggling with month to month bills or know someone who is, call me BEFORE you miss a payment. Once you have missed payments reported on your credit bureau, lenders are less likely to approve your mortgage change.*

Swine at heart of long trial TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The owner of a Salmon Arm meatpacking plant facing federal charges for allegedly obstructing an inspector five years ago did nothing to contravene Canada’s Meat Inspection Act, a judge has been told. David De Boer and Inland Packers Ltd. are facing seven charges stemming from a series of incidents nearly six years ago. He was in Kamloops provincial court on Tuesday, Nov. 4, as lawyers made closing arguments in a trial that began more than a year ago. Court has heard that, in January 2009, Ray Fletcher, a veterinarian working as an inspector at the Inland plant, took issue with four hog carcasses that were in the area of a clogged drain that was being cleaned out. Fletcher believed an offence had been committed — specifically, that a backed-up drain was cleaned out in the presence of the carcasses, presenting a potential contamination risk. De Boer kicked Fletcher out of the plant, agreeing to stop work until further notice. Fletcher “detained” the four carcasses, court heard, by placing special “held tags” on them,

meaning they could not be processed until the tags were removed. The next day, after Fletcher consulted a Canadian Food Inspection Agency swine expert, De Boer was informed the four carcasses placed in detention could be processed as long as their fore-quarters — the area most susceptible to contamination given their placement at the time the clogged drain was cleaned — were skinned and the skin disposed of. Court heard some of the tags were removed as part of the skinning process. For that, Inland was charged with an additional count of removing an official tag applied by an inspector. Meat from the hog carcasses was eventually

processed and sent to retail market. The Crown does not allege any contamination took place, but federal food-safety laws bar any cleaning products from being used in the presence of meat that could be contaminated. Multiple witnesses testified they saw no evidence of any water or cleaning products coming in contact with the four hogs in question, but one Inland employee said she did see water hit one of the carcasses. Defence lawyer Glenn Verdumen said Fletcher was entirely unfamiliar with the Inland plant when he arrived on Jan. 14, 2009. Verdumen said Fletcher entered the plant operations area, observed the hogs

hanging in the area of the clogged drain and ordered them detained. “He didn’t inspect and he didn’t have reasonable grounds,” Verdumen said. “I think the evidence shows he didn’t look into this matter at all. He’s a meat inspector who doesn’t inspect the meat. There was no common sense applied by Dr. Fletcher — no situational awareness.” Crown prosecutor Digby Kier said Fletcher had enough information to order the hog carcasses detained. “You only have to have reasonable grounds for suspicion of guilt,” Kier said. A date for a decision has not been set. Inland has since ceased operation.

LEARNING FROM MESS IN MANITOBA

cabinet revolt underway in Manitoba has seen five senior members of Premier Greg Selinger’s cabinet, including the finance and justice ministers, resign. The revolt is centred around the premier’s decision to impose a one per cent boost in the provincial sales tax after specifically promising not to do so in the last provincial election. While the five cabinet ministers all went along with the plan at first, they now say the premier is not listening to their advice, as the NDP government remains far behind the opposition Progressive Conservatives in the polls. In addition to breaking its promise not to raise the PST, the Manitoba government violated the Balanced Budget, Fiscal Management and Taxpayer Accountability Act by refusing to hold a referendum on the increase. This has residents furious. Governments simply do not learn lessons that should be obvious from the mistakes of others. Selinger should have looked to what happened in B.C. when Premier Gordon Campbell imposed the HST on British Columbians, less than two months after an election campaign, during which the government said bringing in the HST was “not on the radar.” Campbell and his government did not listen to opposition from citizens and some business groups (others supported the HST) for months. It took the successful passage of an initiative, which, despite a very cumbersome law, was certified and put to a vote, to finish off the HST. Even before the people voted against the HST, Campbell’s goose was cooked. He had the good sense to resign and let others pick up the wreckage, but the damage done to his party and his reputation as a shrewd leader was enormous. This should serve as an important lesson to candidates seeking seats in the Nov. 15 civic election. Tell the truth and, if you have a hidden agenda, don’t promise to do the opposite. Stand up for what you believe in. Don’t waffle or obfuscate.

The worst campaign ever

o, what if we called an election and nobody showed up — because we didn’t put it on Facebook or Twitter? Well, that’s not really true, is it? If it was promoted on social media, I guess a lot of young people might show up, but would they have any idea what it was all about? If there’s one word to describe the municipal campaign in Kamloops right now, it’s “weird.” From candidates who are relying on Facebook to get their messages out, to others who seem to be campaigning on the comments area of KTW’s website, to the truly silly Twitter debates between would-be and incumbent councillors, this is probably the first real socialmedia-dominated campaign we’ve seen. Debating true issues seems to have given way to cheap shots. Consider one from a neophyte candidate criticizing her competition for spending money on campaign materials. To her, it seems, being able to spend money on an election campaign — something that seems to be a requirement when one is running for public office — is wrong. She notes she will only vote for councillors “who have spent their lives earning their reputations within our community, not those who have emptied their pocketbooks trying

LEVEL to be recognized.” I must say, the candidates with the campaign’s highest profiles all certainly qualify as having earned their reputations in Kamloops. It would be difficult to find any candidates with signs on lawns and street corners or ads on buses and bus shelters who haven’t done a lot of good in the city. Then there are the candidates who seem to feel the need to post on their Facebook pages every good thought that comes into their heads. One, for example, has taken to letting us all know where she is, what she’s doing, how totally amazing it is, how humbled she is to be surrounded by all these wonderful people and how much she values all the suggestions from us, some of those amazing people. I’ve had too many “friend me” requests from people running for office this year. They should know I’m not inclined to accept such friend requests as I am old enough that

the word “friend” has a nonsocial-media meaning for me. That is, a “friend” would be someone I know. Then there are the Twitter battles, 140-character skirmishes on the validity of surveys, the definition of a slate, the quality of the work done by Enactus members (really? Throw well-meaning Thompson Rivers University business students under the bus?) and who has the best resumé. One of my favourites, for the sheer humour it invoked, was a debate about the word “nationalization” and the difference between capitalism and socialism. I actually read that entire online debate, simply because the two involved were certainly making firm statements on their beliefs. A friend opined a week or so ago that this may be worst election campaign ever in Kamloops. I took to my computer to point out why she was so wrong — but, watching it all unfold, I fear she may be right. This isn’t about policies, procedures, promises and stuff one might want from a potential city council member. It’s why, in order to be a truly knowledgeable voter, you really need to pay attention after Nov. 15 — because that’s when you’ll see what the people you are electing this month really plan to do with the city. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WHICH CANDIDATES SUPPORT FORENSIC AUDIT? Editor: Municipal spending by the present city council was the No. 1 issue in an online poll done by Kamloops This Week. Our elected councillors seem to not want to talk about important issues halfway through their mandate, but loosen up and espouse their sharp political minds and financial acumen come election time. I wrote a letter to everyone on city council about a year or so ago, asking how the Valleyview bike-path project went 50 per cent over budget — to $6.1 million from $4.1 million. Mayor Peter Milobar and two councillors, Arjun Singh and Donovan Cavers, answered my query. The other councillors didn’t, apparently thinking a project that went 50 per cent ($2.1 million) over budget wasn’t a big deal. This was for a 550-metre-long, eight-footwide bike path with chain-link fencing, cement road dividers, some retaining walls and a small overbuilt bridge — at a cost of $6.1 million. The most expensive part, as per the city’s information, was $4.7 million for 500 metres of

chain-link fence, cement road dividers, some retaining walls and an eight-foot paved path. Compare this to the Hillside Drive North project that was connected to Summit Drive and constructed at about the same time. It was 1.3 kilometres, with a huge rock cut, steep grading, street lighting, sidewalks, treed boulevard, a two-lane paved road and what appears to be provision for another two lanes in the future. The Hillside project cost $9.6 million. Next year’s project to repave Overlanders Bridge has a budget of $9.42 million. Kamloops also had a fire chief who was sent into early retirement with no explanation. “It was his decision. There was no formal investigation at the time of his retirement,” City of Kamloops CAO David Trawin was quoted as saying. What did this mean? The taxpayers of Kamloops are still obligated to pay for his retirement and should be afforded an explanation. And we can’t forget the latest boondoggle — the $1.7-million dollar parking pay stations,

that work sometimes, the purchase of which appeared to lack any due diligence in the hurry to double parking fees and provide employment and income out of town. In the real world, those involved in a $2-million overrun or involved in a $1.7-million dollar purchase of a computerized system that won’t work would be directed to career change. So, the question to all those running for a seat on city council: Do you think there should be a forensic audit by an outside firm chosen at random into the issues listed above, especially the $6.1-million bike path? If an audit does not show anything amiss, no foul, no harm. If something does come to light, then the city’s financial procedures will have to be strengthened and personnel changes made. Everyone complains about city spending. This is a chance to see if Kamloops is doing it right. The most important duty of any citizen in a democracy is to vote. PPlease vote. Ken Barry Kamloops

PETER MANSBRIDGE NEEDS TO RESPECT CANADA’S PM Editor: On Oct. 22, while watching with horror and disbelief the attack on our Parliament and the death of one of our brave young soldiers, CBC News’ Peter Mansbridge began to comment on an interview with Prime Minister Stephen Harper. While showing Harper being interviewed after the incident in the Parliament Buildings, Mansbridge made a most shocking and inappropriate statement regarding the type of

glass on Harper’s desk and what it might contain. This behaviour underscores once again Mansbridge’s total lack of respect for the leader of our country. We do not care what his personal opinions are, but to voice them continually on national TV is an insulting affront to all Canadians. Is it any wonder Canadians fail to appreciate this fine, upstanding, intelligent man who is admired for his statesmanship around the

world when our supposed chief newscaster can insult him with impunity on national television and not be disciplined? Am I the only person, a staunch Conservative and proud ex-servicewoman, to ask who will rid us of this upstart? Where are all of our loyal citizens when we need them?

AJAX CANNOT BE ONLY CIVIC-ELECTION FOCUS Editor: With a little more than a week until the Nov. 15 civic election, how does anyone make sense of all the messages being offered up by the

City of Kamloops

ALC Notice of Exclusion Application Regarding Land in the Agricultural Land Reserve The City of Kamloops intends to make an application pursuant to Section 29 (1) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act to exclude from the Agricultural Land Reserve the following property which is legally described as Lot 1, 2 and 3, District Lot 316, Kamloops Division Yale District, Plan KAP91108 and located at 5375 Yellowhead Highway, Kamloops, BC also known as the Tournament Capital Ranch. Any person wishing to express an interest in the application may do so by forwarding their comments in writing to the City of Kamloops, to the attention of Michael Doll, at 7 Victoria Street West, Kamloops, BC V2C 1A2 by November 20, 2014. Information can also be accessed at www.kamloops.ca/parks.

32 council and mayoral candidates? Add in the 15 board of education candidates and things become even more clouded. While mining is one piece of the puzzle, there are so many other issues that need to be addressed on Nov. 15. However, once again, KGHM’s proposed Ajax copper and gold mine has been brought to the forefront, just as it was in the 2011 civic election, as is evident by the Oct. 31 letter from Rick Duggan (‘Take Ajax stance by voting Nov. 15th’). We must not let Ajax overshadow the many other important issues that need our attention, including, but not limited to, affordable social housing, policing, Royal Inland Hospital expansion, attracting doctors, downtown parking, arts

and culture, North Shore and city-wide business improvement, roads and infrastructure, schools/ education, parks and recreation and federal and provincial government-grant opportunities. All of this, and more, needs to be addressed while keeping our taxes, expenses and services at respectable levels. If you ask current council members, I’m sure they will agree there is always room for improvement. But, focusing on only one issue before all the facts are presented helps no one. My father and many other Kamloopians worked on the Ajax site in the early 1990s. While it wasn’t a fullscale mine, it was still a mining site. Like most people, I expect city hall to do what is in the best

interest of all its citizens when the facts are presented. Either way, there will be people unhappy and crying foul. In his letter, Duggan said he felt people have “disengaged.” I don’t share his view. It’s my belief most voters don’t vote because they are generally happy with what Duggan refers to as the “status quo” of our “existing council.” Furthermore, we should be concerned with self-interest groups and misinformed voters as they could potentially control the outcome of any election. The public needs to also be leery of candidates who step up at the last minute because they don’t want to see someone go unchallenged. We should also be

concerned with candidates forming alliances prior to an election in what I feel is an effort to control council. Where is the integrity in that? In the end, each and every member of council, including the mayor, has one vote. The nine men and woman who make up council need to think individually on all issues, then work together to move our city forward. They cannot be confrontational, bombastic or self-serving. My hope for Nov. 15 is that the good people of Kamloops see through all the fluff and elect nine people who understand Kamloops has more than one issue that needs our immediate attention and support.

Developer wins battle on Battle ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

It caused a mass outcry from neighbours, but an 18-unit apartment building will rise at 801 and 807 Battle St. after Kamloops council voted 5-2 at a public hearing this week to allow a necessary rezoning and variances. D&T Developments Ltd. has one of its two Battle Street lots rezoned for residential, rather than commercial, use. Controversially, the developer also asked for a 25 per cent reduction in the number of parking spaces it would have to provide for tenants, to 18 from 24. It’s the second time D&T’s proposal for a rental-apartment building at the site has come to council. In September, the plan was rejected based on parking and visual concerns. Natasha Taylor, spokeswoman for the developer, said the company had made changes to the plan — altering the building’s roofline to look less boxy and providing fruit trees — and would manage parking issues by only accepting tenants who do not have more than one vehicle. She said she believes the project will “add dimension” to the neighbourhood. Homeowners around the proj-

Giveaways

ect, who packed the gallery and spoke to council for more than an hour, disagreed. Nicole Brand also owns property and doesn’t believe the developer will be able to enforce a oneor no-car rule. She suggested the developer look at putting fewer units in the building, a common suggestion at the hearing. “I do think that corner is a good one for something multifamily, but this building is too big,” Brand said. John Turner was one of many neighbours to argue the developer had not made enough changes to the project to warrant a new public hearing. “A dent in the building with a little extra slope, a few fruit trees, some fruits and vegetables — this is about the number of units,” he said. Other neighbours argued that, even if the number of parking stalls at the building is adequate for tenants, problems on the street will arise because there is no parking for visitors. While neighbours were opposed, the developers did have the support of the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA). KCBIA general manager Gay Pooler said the kind of infill D&T is proposing is necessary to keep the

downtown healthy. Ideally, Pooler said, residents who would live in the units will use their cars less because they can walk to work and shops. It was the argument that won over most of council. Though Coun. Tina Lange moved to deny the project again because of parking issues, with Coun. Ken Christian’s backing, others argued the densification offered by the building fits with council’s goals. Coun. Nelly Dever believes the city’s new parking-meter system, its expansion of transit and other initiatives will lead to a solution for downtown parking problems in the next five years. Coun. Donovan Cavers believes it would be “hypocritical” for him to vote against the project because he has pushed for increased transit services and sustainability measures. “I want to encourage investment in the downtown core,” he said. “I would have preferred if it were slightly reduced in the number of units, but you can’t dictate what the developer brings forward to the city.” Only Lange and Christian voted against the rezoning. Coun. Arjun Singh recused himself from the debate because of his work managing rental properties.

$100K FOR LABOURMARKET SURVEY AUCTION! Announcing our first online

online bidding until November 15:

www.bcmusicianmag.com/fecklessauctions 20 items to bid on, including signed music memorabilia, lithographs, collectible belt buckles, books, vinyl and more.

A request for proposals is out this week looking for what will likely be a team of economists needed to conduct an ambitious labour market survey for Kamloops. Venture Kamloops is receiving $100,000 from the province to conduct a five-year forecast of job trends. In addition to looking at needs of employers, Venture Kamloops executive director Jim Anderson said the survey will provide a reality check to calls from universities or other interest groups for more training. The Research Universities’ Council of B.C. published a report last year forecasting

100,000 job openings in the ThompsonOkanagan in the 10 years between 2010 and 2020. The same report called for hundreds of millions in project dollars. Similarly, a local survey conducted two years ago “clearly identified a labour shortage, skilled and unskilled — posting of jobs that were just going unfilled,” Anderson said. “We didn’t have any data. It was anecdotal.” The locally commissioned survey will also allow separation from the Okanagan, where the demand for seasonal tourism

jobs can cloud the picture in Kamloops. Something else that will be examined is the claim that skilled trades are hard to come by in Kamloops because workers are in Fort McMurray. “There’s no data to support that,” Anderson said. The survey will also attempt to answer the question of where construction labour will come from if both the proposed Ajax mine and Trans Mountain pipeline project both move ahead during the same period. Anderson called the survey a “pretty sizeable project. “We’re looking at a team of economists.”

Beware scam artists posing as WestJet Lot 01: SIGNED Stompin’ Tom Connors “Folio No. 1” 1970

The public is being warned to be aware of scam artists who call and purport to be from WestJet and other Canadian companies. The scam, which has been practised for several years, sees the fraudulent telemarketers call random telephone numbers across the country in an effort to sell questionable holiday packages to Mexico. The callers mask the real number they are calling from with a more familiar phone number from local area codes

to increase the likelihood the person will answer the phone. The company names represented on these phone calls have been: • Luxury Getaway Group (luxurygetawaygroup.com) • Caribbean Sun Trips (caribbeansuntrips.com) • Caribbean Sun Group (caribbeansungroup.net) • Global Group Travel WestJet officials say their airline does not use telemarketers or make telemarketing phone calls, nor does it share customers’ private informa-

tion with third parties for the purposes of telemarketing. The airline is not connected in any way to any of these companies. The public can report these phone calls and other fraudulent activity to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre by going online to antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/ english/index.html or by calling 1-888-495-8501. Canadians who are registered on the National Do Not Call List should also report these phone calls to the

Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission through the list operator online at lnnte-dncl. gc.ca or by calling 1-866-5803625. Information, such as the date and time of the call, the telemarketer’s name and telephone number, the telephone number that received the call and any additional information that would identify the caller, or on whose behalf the call is being made, such as a website, will help the CRTC’s enforcement officers.

Convicted MP resigns seat OTTAWA — Peterborough MP Dean Del Mastro, who was found guilty last week on three counts of violating the Canada Elections Act, has resigned his seat in the House of Commons. Del Mastro, a former parliamentary secretary to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, was convicted of exceeding spending limits during the 2008 election, failing to report a personal contribution of $21,000 to his own campaign and knowingly submitting a falsified document. In a dramatic and emotional speech in the House, Del Mastro said he doesn’t want to be a distraction or require his fellow MPs to vote on his fate. On Tuesday, Nov. 4, the Conservative government said it would back an NDP motion to suspend Del Mastro without pay — a motion that has now been withdrawn. Del Mastro was expelled from the Conservative caucus on the day he was charged in September 2013, and then sat as an Independent. Del Mastro, whose wife gave birth to their first child — a girl — on Sunday, has said his lawyer has asked a judge to re-open his defence in order to introduce new evidence before sentencing, which is scheduled for Nov. 21. — The Canadian Press

Ghomeshi lawsuit without merit: CBC COLIN PERKEL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A $55-million lawsuit filed by former CBC radio host Jian Ghomeshi should be thrown out because it is without merit and an abuse of process, the broadcaster argued in court filings on Wednesday, Nov. 5. In a motion to Ontario Superior Court, the CBC maintained Ghomeshi’s allegation of defamation and breach of confidence is frivolous or vexatious. The CBC argued two points: Ghomeshi has no right to sue and that, in any event, he has no grounds to sue. The broadcaster noted that Ghomeshi, 47, was a unionized employee and his only recourse is via union grievance procedure.

“All the claims asserted by Mr. Ghomeshi in this action fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of an arbitrator appointed pursuant to the collective agreement,’’ the CBC said in its motion urging the court to dismiss or stay the lawsuit. Ghomeshi, who is under criminal investigation but faces no charges, has admitted in a lengthy Facebook posting to having a proclivity for rough sex but insisted his encounters with women were consensual. He also said he had provided evidence to support his position to the CBC — in confidence. The CBC fired the host of Q on Oct. 26. The following day, Ghomeshi filed his statement of claim, alleging the CBC statement was defamatory.

Soaring coffee prices could mean a more-expensive cup at Tim Hortons TORONTO — Coffee drinkers at Tim Hortons may soon have to swallow a more-expensive cup of joe as the restaurant chain responds to the soaring price of beans. Prices for Arabica coffee have nearly doubled this year and chief financial officer Cynthia Devine said it’s a factor being taken into consideration as the company prepares for 2015. “It’s something that we will, and are, working on closely with our restaurant owners to understand what actions may be necessary,’’ she said.

“Coffee costs, as everyone knows, are much higher than they have been historically and it’s been a fairly continued kind of rise in those prices.’’ Tim Hortons locks itself into long-term contracts with coffee suppliers, which gives it flexibility and protection from market fluctuations. Most of the company’s key coffee deals were negotiated more than a year ago, which has allowed executives to navigate through one of the most-volatile periods for coffee prices in recent memory.

But, the value of coffee beans has nearly doubled this year, partly on concerns that lack of rain in Brazil could affect the world’s top exporter. In October, the price of Arabica beans jumped to a twoand-a-half year high, as weather forecasts for the region suggested that next year’s crop could be dramatically impacted. Already, some of Tim Horton’s competitors have jacked up how much they charge for a cup, in anticipation of future supply levels. — The Canadian Press

its relationship with Mr. Ghomeshi as his employer, the CBC statement has created damaging speculation respecting Mr. Ghomeshi and lowered

Mr. Ghomeshi’s reputation in the public.’’ In its response, the broadcaster denied its statement was defamatory or could be taken that way.

Two Grit MPs suspended Canadian oil likely an early item OTTAWA — Two Liberal MPs have been kicked out of their party’s caucus amid accusations of personal misconduct made by two female members of the NDP. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said he removed Quebec MP

Massimo Pacetti and Newfoundland MP Scott Andrews because their accusers, one of whom approached him personally, deserve the benefit of the doubt. Trudeau said Pacetti and Andrews are denying the allegations,

which Trudeau would only describe as “serious’’ allegations of “personal misconduct.’’ He also said he has asked House of Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer to investigate. Trudeau said the House needs to have clear guidelines and procedures in place to deal with such situations, similar to other workplaces. — The Canadian Press

on agenda of new Congress THE CANADIAN PRESS

WASHINGTON — Canada’s stalled Keystone XL pipeline project is poised to become one of the first orders of business in the new U.S. Congress, where this week’s Republican romp could end up impacting several cross-border industries. There are hopes in Ottawa that the midterm results could spur movement on the controversial Canada-U.S. bitumen pipeline, as well as major free-

trade negotiations and perhaps even meat-labelling rules that have hurt Canada. Virtually every Republican asked about post-election plans has already mentioned Keystone XL as a top priority for the next Congress, a development that would be as detested by the environmental movement as it would be celebrated by oilindustry supporters. One of the biggest pipelineboosters is Mitch McConnell — the next Senate majority leader

and, arguably, now the most powerful member of the U.S. Congress. “We need to embrace the energy revolution going on in our country and promote it. It’s hugely advantageous to America, not only in the realm of energy independence, but employment,’’ the Kentucky Republican said, referring to the long-delayed project. “The employment figures connected with Keystone are stunning if we would just get going.’’

the quarter

Jillian Saulnier hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expected her first goal as a part of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior national team to come so quickly. But, just seven minutes into her first game of the 2014 Four Nations Cup, the 5-foot5 forward found herself burying a shot from the slot to put Canada ahead of Sweden 1-0. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I definitely wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting it,â&#x20AC;? the 22-year-old said following the Tuesday (Nov. 4) game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I definitely just wanted to get out there and work my hardest and work with the girls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were clicking pretty well, so I felt really fortunate. Chucky [Canadian forward Jenelle Kohanchuk] made a great play for me, so I was fortunate enough to put it in.â&#x20AC;? Canada, which was in action against the U.S. yesterday after KTWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s press deadline, went on to beat Sweden 2-0. Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com for a recap of the CanadaU.S. showdown. The next generation of talent was on display for Canada on Tuesday night, as it will be for the rest of the Four Nations Cup. Hockey Canada has iced a team infused with youth for the 2014 tournament â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the first major event of a new Olympic cycle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; giving many women their first shot at international senior play. Ten players made their senior-level debut

aving just passed the quarter mark of the 2014-2015 WHL campaign, it seems a fitting time to look back on the Kamloops Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season thus far. After 19 games, the Blazers (9-8-1-1) were tied for third in the Western Conference with 20 points as of KTWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s press deadline yesterday (Nov. 5), a position surprising to many pundits who prognosticated the Blue and Orange would struggle to find scoring â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and wins. There are reasons to be doubtful, but there is also cause to believe the club is ahead of schedule in the recovery process from the debacle of 2013-2014. Critics will argue three of the Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nine wins have come against teams with losing records (Lethbridge twice and Vancouver) and one early-season victory was earned against a skeleton Victoria Royalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roster, with five of their best players out of the lineup. After recording six wins in its first nine games, including two against strong Eastern Conference teams in Edmonton and Swift Current, Kamloops has come back down to earth, posting a 3-6-01 record in its last 10 outings. The Blazers, though, in their three

Jillian Saulnier carries the puck into the zone in her Four Nations Cup debut with Canada against Sweden on Tuesday, Nov. 4, at Interior Savings Centre. Saulnier scored in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2-0 victory.

for Canada on Tuesday, a group that includes Saulnier, Erin Ambrose, Jessica Campbell, Emily Clark, Erica Howe, Halli Krzyzaniak, Emerance Maschmeyer, Jamie Lee Rattray, Kelly Terry and Blayre Turnbull. Canadian head coach Doug Derraugh said the message to the women at Team Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selection camp was to show they belonged. Saulnierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal was followed by one off the stick of Rattray, another first, who scored in the second frame. Maschmeyer, the sister of former Kamloops Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defenceman Bronson, got her first start at the senior level and pitched an 11-save shutout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, the two that

got the goals today, I coach in the NCAA away from Hockey Canada and they were two of the top three Patty Kazmaier finalists for the best players in the NCAA last year,â&#x20AC;? Derraugh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both also in my league in ECAC and great offensive players. You saw out there tonight. They can finish plays when they get the chance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Emerance Maschmeyer, also in my league in the NCAA, is just a tremendous goaltender. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was one of the top goaltenders there, as well, and now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting the chance to see her at this level.â&#x20AC;? Despite being new to the senior level, the Canadians have famil-

iarity with one another â&#x20AC;&#x201D; most played together in under-18 and under22. For Rattray and Saulnier, who are close friends away from the rink, getting the opportunity to play at the Four Nations Cup together and score their first goals in the same game was a satisfying feeling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be here has been a dream for a long time now,â&#x20AC;? Rattray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel very, very blessed, for sure.â&#x20AC;? Canada is looking to repeat as champion this year, after defeating Finland in Lake Placid, N.Y., to capture gold in 2013. A victory in Kamloops would continue a recent string of Canadian victories on

Heading into this season, there were question marks up front, on the blue line and between the pipes.

The Kamloops Storm’s 12-day hiatus from Kootenay International Junior Hockey League play probably couldn’t have come at a better time. The junior B club has an extended mid-season break to accommodate the Four Nations Cup and a female minor-hockey tournament this week. The women’s international hockey event has taken over Interior Savings Centre for games and McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre is hosting its practices, as well as the minor hockey tournament. Contrary to what the Storm’s 11-7-0-2 record would have spectators believe, the team has been treading water, playing shorthanded for much of their recent action. During a recent road stretch that saw Kamloops face Summerland, North Okanagan, Kelowna and Osoyoos, half of the team was fighting injury in one form or another. Forwards Addison Bazian, Felix Larouche and Ian Chrystal, defencemen Cameron Trott, Kyle Lohmann and Alex Winters and goaltenders Jason Sandhu and Bailey De Palma were all battling the flu. Forwards Ryan Keis and Jon Rivard were both out with upperbody injuries and they remain on the injured list. Winger Mitch Friesen will be unavailable to the team until at least December as he

battles mononucleosis. So, the Storm have performed well of late, all things considered. The team is 5-4-01 in its last 10 games, defeating the Grand Forks Border Bruins 6-3 on the weekend before losing 4-3 in overtime to the Revelstoke Grizzlies and falling 2-1 to the 100 Mile House Wranglers. The team is hoping it can come out of the gate sporting close to a full roster. “With the team we’ve had and we have, being young and inexperienced and things, I’ve been very impressed with everyone,” head coach Ed Patterson said. Though the Storm

are practising and in the gym this week, they won’t play again until Nov. 14. Patterson said he would rather continue playing this week, but understands the benefits of rest. He isn’t concerned the rest of the KIJHL will be continuing to play during his club’s hiatus. “You know what, you never want to have a break,” Patterson said. “But, for this group, it’s not a bad thing because they’ll be volunteering for the Four Nations Cup, they’ll be together 24/7, they’ll be doing workouts. It’s not like they’re going to be away from each other, going their separate ways. “I honestly think that they could use a little break here, too, to reflect back on how hard they’ve worked and how far they’ve come so far.” The first half of the season has seen the Storm progress more or less according to plan, if not ahead of schedule. The team was in first place in the Doug Birks Division heading into the break, tied in points with the Sicamous Eagles, but leading by virtue of having played fewer games. Veteran forward Ian Chrystal was tied for fifth in league scoring

with 28 points, including 17 goals. Goaltender Jason Sandhu has been a pleasant surprise in net after originally being released by the team. Rookies like Dexter Robinson, Brayden Dale and Keaton Gordon have stepped up and become significant contributors in their first full-time seasons. “I’m kind of surprised, really happy with how we’ve developed as a team,” assistant captain Marc DuMont said. “The first weekend we played, you really noticed how young our team was and how inexperienced we were but, ever since then, we’ve been trying to go forward and forward.” The second half of Kamloops’ season will have its own challenges, including a three-game road trip through the Kootenays — facing Castlegar, Beaver Valley and Grand Forks — after the break. However, confidence is high in the dressing room. “I feel like our team, even though we are banged up, we can still win and beat any team in the league,” DuMont said. “But, it’s good for everyone that has just those little underlying injuries to get back to 100 per cent.”

ROBERT LOYLL ZIMONICK March 7, 1945 – October 22, 2014

November 4, 2008

Remembering

Loyll had an unforgettable and unique personality; he was smart, funny, loud, charismatic, energetic, generous, and enjoyed getting a rise out of people. He loved to tell stories, sometimes embellished, and often accompanied by the quote, “I’m not making this up!” He enjoyed hot weather, boating, puttering around the yard, watching football and cheering for the Packers, hiking and nature, reading books, listening to music, and beer, which he shared generously. He loved his winter home in Arizona and happily enjoyed three winters there after retiring. Loyll passed away in hospice in the arms of Barbara with his family nearby after fighting the wretched cancer. He is survived by his wife of 35 years, Barbara; his children Maxx, Melissa, Zac, Aerin (Joel), Drew and Cindy (Curt); his grandchildren Micah, Vaida, Reece, and Karis; his sister Bonnie and brother Scott (Janet); nieces and nephews Christine, Elizabeth, Mike, Zeke, Jill, and their families. Predeceased by his parents Robert and June (2010) and brotherin-law Robin (2006). In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society (19-9th Ave S, Cranbrook, BC, V1C 2L9) or to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice (72 Whiteshield Crescent S, Kamloops, BC, V2E 2S9) as a way to give thanks for the excellent care they provided to Loyll. A memorial gathering will take place at Hoodoos at Sun Rivers on Sunday, November 9 at 1 pm.

I found a penny today, Just laying on the ground But it’s not just a penny, This little coin I’ve found. “Found” pennies come from heaven, That’s what my Grandpa told me He said angels toss them down;

Everybody loves to be remembered, But if we want to be remembered, we have a duty also to remember. Memory is a powerful thing. Wrongly used it can bring death rather than life.

I cried when you passed away I still cry today Although I loved you dearly I couldn’t make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating Hard working hands at rest God broke my heart to prove to me He only takes the best. Love from all your family

RON MALONEY April 14, 1956 – October 29, 2014

Loyll, aka Bob, was born in Greenville, Mississippi; at the age of one his family returned to their hometown of Green Bay, Wisconsin where he grew up. He served in the US Navy for a 4-year tour of duty on the USS Independence stationed out of Norfolk, Virginia. Throughout the navy years he sailed the Caribbean Sea during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Mediterranean, the Norwegian Sea, and the South China Sea during the Vietnam War. The call of the wilderness and the back-to-the-land movement brought him to Canada in 1971 to settle for a while in Likely, BC and eventually with a young family to Kamloops, BC. Loyll opened his store “Zimonick’s Comics” in 1988, first on Tranquille Road and eventually he was operating three different locations around the city. His stores were famous for the ½-price sales and people lined up down the block for opening time.

Pennies From Heaven

Rightly used it is a form of immortality. It keeps the past alive Those we remember never die. They continue to walk and talk with us, Their influence is still felt among us. There is nothing stronger or more helpful than a good remembrance. We want you to know that we haven’t forgotten you. We remember you, and your memory most definitely brings life to us today.

Remembering you,

He is predeceased by his parents Doyle and Lucille Maloney. Ron is survived by his son Sean Maloney, his brother Patrick (Kim) Maloney, sister Sandra (Leo) St. Germain, nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews as well as a large extended family and longtime childhood friends. Respecting Ron’s wishes no funeral service will be held. A Celebration of life will be hosted at the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and Rebekahs Hall, 423 Tranquille Road, Kamloops on Saturday, November 8, 2014 at 1:00 pm. (Parking in rear). Condolences can be made at www.myalternatives.ca

EMANUEL (MEL) RUSCHEINSKI The family of Mel Ruscheinski are saddened to announce the loss of our father, grandfather, uncle, and loving husband. Mel passed away peacefully and with his family by his side at the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice on October 29, 2014 in Kamloops, BC. Mel is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Mary, sons John (Julia), Tony (Tyra), brother John (Sandy), his grandchildren, sisters-inlaw Elizabeth and Lina, Katie and Regina, his many nieces and nephews and his many lifelong friends.

With heavy hearts we sadly announce the unexpected passing of Ron Maloney on October 29, 2014 in Kamloops, B.C.

Oh, how I loved that story.

Mel began his life’s journey on August 6, 1940 in Romania, being the 3rd son to Peter and Monica. He lived in Germany and Austria before moving to Vancouver, BC, Canada in 1955. In 1961 he married the love of his life, his beloved Mary (nee Kichler) and together they were blessed with sons John and Tony in 1964 and Robert (Bobby) in 1968. Kamloops became the family home in 1971 when Mel started his 46 year career with Kamloops Moving & Storage. A successful businessman and true lover of the outdoors, Mel met many lifelong friends in Kamloops. Mel was blessed with four grandchildren: Chelcie, Kalen, Jessica and Hayden and one great-grandchild, Jayden. Family meant everything to Mel and he loved to share his many stories of the old country and his hunting adventures with his family. As his hunting trips lessened, Mel’s hunting stories grew larger and more frequent. One of his happiest accomplishments was the building of our Bridge Lake cabin with his sons, nephew David and their friends. Many happy times were spent at the cabin and these memories will live in our hearts forever. We all will miss Mel and his many tales here, but he is now reunited with his parents, brothers Raymond and Harry and his son Bobby.

Gone Hunting ... Services will he held at 11:00 am on Friday, November 7 at St. John’s Vianney Church, 2826 Bank Road in Westsyde with Monsignor Jerry Desmond officiating. Guests are welcome to stay for a luncheon following the service. Interment at Hillside Cemetery located at 750 Notre Dame Drive, Kamloops at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

HEINZ EHLBECK Heinz Ehlbeck died peacefully in the arms of his family at his home in Sun Peaks on October 21, 2014 at the age of 71. He believed a family that played together, stayed together and lived life to the fullest: skiing, golfing, playing hockey & tennis, fishing, hunting, hiking, cycling, waterskiing, horseback riding and sailing. Heinz was an inspiration for many and role model for even more. Battling cancer for the past 11 years, he received 81 units of blood product in the last 8 months. Heinz was amazed by the quality of care he received from the BC Cancer Agency in Vancouver and the generosity of those people who donated the blood which enabled him to have quality of life to the end. It was Heinz’s wish that everyone be encouraged to make the time to donate blood, and if they couldn’t donate, then encourage those around them to donate. Call 1-888-2-Donate (1 888 236-6283) in his name. Heinz’s friends are invited to gather at Masa’s, Sun Peaks, on November 11, 2014 from 6-9 pm to hoist a pint and share some stories Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454

SPORTS CLOE AT THE CARAVAN

Cloe Rupert of Kamloops has a look at the Century Tour caravan at Interior Savings Centre on Tuesday, Nov. 4. The caravan is travelling across Canada in celebration of Hockey Canada’s 100th birthday and it is in Kamloops this week for the Four Nations Cup. Fans who visit the caravan will be “immersed in the excitement, history and energy that is Canadian hockey, including a state-of-the-art interactive timeline of milestone hockey moments and artifacts, on-ice experiences on a one-third scale synthetic ice rink, programs and activities specifically developed for kids, families and newcomers to the game, and a celebration of both Team Canada and local community hockey leaders,” according to Hockey Canada. The caravan is open today (Nov. 6) from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., Friday from noon to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, go online to hockeycanada.ca/centurytour.

Skating with 20 of the top women’s hockey players in the nation was 16-year-old Kendall Fitzgerald, a forward with the midget Kamloops Mystixs. “It was a pretty neat experience,” Fitzgerald said during the first intermission of Tuesday’s game. Along with taking the warm-up with the team, Fitzgerald stood on the blue line for the anthem and joined the Canadians in the dressing room before the opening puck drop. “You get to see what they do before a game and how they prepare. It was pretty cool, really exciting,” she said. Organizers of the Four Nations Cup in Kamloops have talked at length about using the tournament as a means to inspire the next generation of

Maschmeyer and sat in the same room as last night’s goal scorers, Jamie Lee Rattray and Jillian Saulnier, the forward saw a brief glimpse of what her future could look like.

It’s hard to imagine the defensive unit without 2014 CHL Import Draft selections Michael Fora and Patrik Maier, godsends on a back end that lacked depth and looked porous heading into the campaign. Kamloops’ rearguards still have plenty of work to do, though, with the Blazers having allowed 65 goals, the third-most in the West. The netminders are partly to blame for that statistic, as are the forwards, who need to

do a better job in their own zone. There are still concerns in the crease, with GM Craig Bonner having put his trust in Cole Kehler, 16, and Connor Ingram,17, when he sent 20-yearold Bolton Pouliot to Portland and received

nothing in return. Both Kehler and Ingram come with great pedigree, but they’re young and still have to prove themselves at the majorjunior level. Which are the real Blazers — the group that had the great start or the team that has struggled of late? The answer is likely somewhere in the middle. What’s certain, though, is coming to the rink should no longer feel like a chore for fans, who last season sat through the worst campaign in Blazers’ history. Don Hay, in his second coming, ices a team that works hard every night, as promised, and spectators are getting a chance to watch the development of young stars such as Kryski and Sideroff. It’s OK, Blazer Nation, to be optimistic about the future.

Bonino shines in Canucks’ victory over Colorado THE CANADIAN PRESS

DENVER — The Vancouver Canucks had a hard time solving goaltender Semyon Varlamov. Once they did, the goals came in bunches. Nick Bonino scored two goals, Ryan Miller made 20 saves and the Canucks overcame an early deficit to beat the Colorado Avalanche 5-2 on Tuesday (Nov. 4). Vancouver is back in

action tonight against hometown San Jose. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Henrik Sedin and Derek Dorsett also scored for the Canucks on Tuesday.

Chris Higgins had two assists for Vancouver, which controlled the game after two quick goals by the Avalanche. Canucks defenceman Kevin Bieksa was in the lineup two days after taking a puck to the eye in a game against Nashville and Vancouver rookie Bo Horvat made his NHL debut. It was Vancouver’s fourth win

in five games. It looked like the Canucks were going to be victimized by a hot goalie until Sedin finally got one by Varlamov in the waning moments of the second period. Sedin, stationed in front of the net, picked up Daniel Sedin’s rebound and beat Varlamov with four seconds left in the period. It capped a dominant period for

Vancouver, which outshot Colorado 16-8. “In the second we just took the game over,’’ said Shawn Matthias, who scored the final goal. “I’d like to see how long we had the puck. It seemed like we were rolling the lines and cycling the puck. All four lines were rolling.’’ The Canucks continued to control the play and tied it early in the third when

Sometimes they go in, sometimes they don’t.’’ Varlamov had 32 saves and John Mitchell and Jamie McGinn had goals for the Avalanche, which has lost three straight. Colorado, which started last season 12-1, is 3-6-5. The team had an impromptu meeting following Tuesday’s loss. “We talked amongst ourselves, and I think we’ll keep that at that,’’ captain Gabriel Landeskog said. “We’ll keep that in the dressing room.

Dorsett deflected Dan Hamhuis’ shot over the shoulder of Varlamov at 2:27. Bonino gave Vancouver the lead when he corralled a loose puck in the crease and put it in the open net at 4:47. “Seems like when they scored that late goal with four seconds left in the second period that gave them some momentum going into the third period,’’ Avalanche coach Patrick Roy said. Bonino got his second nearly five minutes later when he beat Varlamov on the short side to make it 4-2. Matthias iced it with his first goal at 13:10. “A great play again by Higgy. He had three

PARIS — Edinson Cavani scored after just 57 seconds as Paris Saint-Germain beat Apoel Nicosia 1-0 yesterday (Nov. 5) in a scrappy game to reach the last 16 of the Champions League. The striker’s fourth goal in as many games threatened to spark a rout, but PSG ultimately flattered to deceive. With injured striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic watching from the stands, Cavani also hit the post while Brazilian winger Lucas spurned other first-half chances. But the well-organized Cypriot side defended resolutely and PSG’s performance became disjointed as the game wore on. “We deserved to win by a bigger margin, and we should have scored more,’’ PSG coach Laurent Blanc said. “We were a bit clumsy but we did what we needed to do.’’ PSG, unbeaten so far this season, has not lost at home in European competition since November 2006 and tops Group F with 10 points — one more than Barcelona, which won 2-0 away to Ajax thanks to two goals from Argentina star Lionel Messi. “Hopefully we can finish top of the group, because that’s an advantage, even if it’s a small one,’’ Blanc said. “The fact we’re not conceding goals is a big advantage in the Champions League, and what I saw tonight reassured me that we’re very solid at the back.’’ In other Champions League action yesterday, CSKA Moscow doubled Manchester City 2-1, FC Porto blanked Athletic Bilbao 2-0, Barcelona beat Ajax 2-0, NK Maribor and Chelsea tied 1-1, Sporting CP topped FC Schalke 4-2 and Shaktar Donetsk thumped BATE Borisov 5-0.

Lesser-known NFL players stepping into spotlight DENNIS WASZAK

THE CANADIAN PRESS

NEW YORK — Unheralded. Unsung. But certainly not unappreciated by their teammates. While the headlines belong to the likes of Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger, each NFL team has at least one player who isn’t necessarily a household name — yet. Far from an unknown, Indianapolis’ T.Y. Hilton broke out last year with 82 receptions for 1,083 yards, taking over as Andrew Luck’s favourite target after Reggie Wayne went down with an injury. Still, he wasn’t generally mentioned before this season among the upper echelon of the league’s wide receivers with guys such as Calvin Johnson, Julio Jones and Dez Bryant. Maybe not for much longer. He’s off to another terrific start with 56 catches and 937 yards, which rank him second in the league. “We’ve got that chemistry where he gives me a nod and I give him a nod,’’ said Hilton, in his third season. “And we just both know.’’ Sometimes it takes an injury to another player on the depth chart to open up an opportunity. Cincinnati wide receiver Mohamed Sanu, San Diego running back Branden Oliver and St. Louis quarterback Austin Davis know all about that. Sanu, a thirdround draft pick in 2012, helped carry the Bengals’ offence while star receiver A.J. Green was sidelined a few weeks this season. He enters tonight’s (Nov. 6) game against the Browns leading the team with 39 catches for 628 yards and four touchdowns — and he has even thrown a touchdown pass. “He has such strong hands that if anything is contested, he’ll come

down with it,’’ quarterback Andy Dalton said. The Chargers feel the same about Oliver, an undrafted rookie who played college ball at Buffalo. Fourth on the depth chart just over a month ago behind Ryan Mathews, Danny Woodhead and Donald Brown, the 5-foot-8 Oliver burst onto the scene when all three went down with injuries. He has Chargers fans comparing him to Darren Sproles. “I let everybody know during the draft process that he was one of the best running backs that I ever played against, even though it was practice,’’ said Raiders rookie linebacker Khalil Mack, a college teammate. Davis also went undrafted in 2012 out of Southern Miss, but has become St. Louis’ starting quarterback in his second stint with the Rams following a season-ending knee injury to Sam Bradford and backup Shaun Hill hurting his quadriceps. Davis has helped lead St. Louis (3-5) to wins over NFC West rivals Seattle and San Francisco in the last three weeks. For Minnesota, running back Jerick McKinnon and Carolina defensive end Mario Addison have stepped in for established stars — the Vikings’ Adrian Peterson and the Panthers’ Greg Hardy — facing legal troubles. While Peterson has been out on paid leave because of a felony child abuse charge, McKinnon has become the Vikings’ No. 1 running back. Drafted in the third round last May, McKinnon has 446 yards on 90 carries — a 5.0 average. Addison, in his fourth season, already has a career high with four sacks and has

seen his playing time increase with Hardy on the exempt-commissioner’s permission list while facing a domestic violence trial that now has been delayed until after the season. Some veterans such as Baltimore running back Justin Forsett and Pittsburgh cornerback William Gay are making their marks with consistent playing time in unexpected roles. Forsett, who played for three teams in five seasons before joining the Ravens as a thirdstringer during the offseason, got his chance

when Ray Rice got cut for his domestic violence case. Oh, and don’t forget the rookie special teamers, such as kickers Chandler Catanzaro of Arizona and Cody Parkey of Philadelphia; and punters Tress Way of Washington and Colton Schmidt of Buffalo. “It’s pretty simple,’’ Tampa Bay coach Lovie Smith said. “If you get an opportunity for some plays and you do good things, you’re going to get more. It’s like that for every position.’’

SNOWBIRD REPORT

Planning to go south for the winter? 15 TIPS FOR A WORRYď&#x161;şFREE VACATION It takes some vigilance to make sure your trip is a good one. After all, who wants to spend precious holiday time dealing with the consequences of silly oversights? Clip this list and pin it to the inside of your suitcase â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that way, you can re-use it every time you travel.

Before your departure: 1. Ensure that your passport is valid for at least six more months. 2. Call your health clinic to make sure your vaccines are up to date. Have any lingering toothaches seen to by the dentist before you leave. 3. Draw up a budget and plan an itinerary. 4. Purchase travel insurance. 5. Have some local currency on hand. 6. Bring clothing that is appropriate for your destination. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget sunscreen, a first-aid kit and a travel adapter for your electrical appliances, if necessary. 7. Organize your person documents in

a zippered travel folder or bag. Have your credit-card companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phone number and travel-insurance phone number on it for emergencies. 8. Make a copy of the identification page of your passport and keep it separate from the original. 9. In case of delays or lost luggage, pack any essentials youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need in your carry-on bags. 10. To avoid unpleasant surprises, familiarize yourself with the etiquette and cultural customs of the country youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re visiting. Leave your home looking lived-in: 1. Ask a neighbour to pick up mail and

newspapers. If they have two cars, perhaps they can park one of them in your driveway. 2. If you go away during the winter, ensure your driveway is plowed after every snowfall. 3. Put away such items as ladders, which might facilitate the work of people with criminal intent. 4. Use timers to light the interior and exterior of your home. Even better, install an alarm system or a motion detector. 5. Leave a radio switched on. Once you arrive: Have a great vacation.

Are you planning to fly south for the winter? As a snowbird, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to know what to expect when taking an extended trip to another country. For example, the appropriate travel insurance coverage depends on several factors, including (but not limited to) where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re travelling to, how long you will be there, the type of transportation youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be using and, in some instances, your health condition. There are a lot of myths about travel insurance. So, to help you travel with confidence, American Express Canada offers some clarification: â&#x20AC;˘ True or false? I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t qualify for travel insurance because of my age or health. False. There are travel

medical insurance plans with flexible or no age limits. While some highrisk or unstable medical conditions cannot be covered, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still possible for you to qualify for coverage expenses that are not related to your existing health issue. If you are 60 or older, you may be asked to answer a few questions about your health to ensure you have the appropriate coverage in place. â&#x20AC;˘ True or false? If I purchase a travel insurance plan, I may still need to pay upfront for any medical expenses while traveling. True. Accidents and injuries can happen anywhere, at any time. Some policies do not make upfront payments. In these cases, you will be required to pay expenses incurred prior to filing a claim.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to understand your coverage plan and have some emergency funds set aside, just in case. â&#x20AC;˘ True or false? Medical expenses incurred abroad wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost that much. False. Medical expenses abroad can be much higher than what the average Canadian realizes. Sixty-nine per cent of Canadians estimate that hospital treatment for a broken leg would be less than $5,000. But, the average cost in Florida for treatment of a broken leg is actually more than double that, at $11,000. Additionally, although 24 per cent believe the average cost for openheart surgery and an extended hospital stay is less than $10,000, the reality is that the bill could run you

close to $296,000. â&#x20AC;˘ True or false? You should consider home-and car-insurance policies when purchasing a travel insurance package. True. As a rule of thumb, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to understand what coverage is included in your home and car insurance policies. Many home plans do not specifically cover incidents such as burst pipes and some auto-insurance policies only cover snowbirds driving their own vehicle in the U.S. Finding a flexible travel-insurance plan allows you to top up certain coverages and lets you design it to suit your unique travelling needs.

While there’s only space for one person to shimmy in past the handbuilding station, sunshine filters in through a large window and puts the tightly cramped area where Karen Clark creates into a whole new light. “This is what potters do,” said the Kamloops potter and vice-president of the Thompson Valley Potters’ Guild. Clark knows her studio in the Rayleigh basement, which is spread amongst another room in the house, isn’t every potter’s dream working space.

HOW WE MET

Bookmarking a friendship JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Sixteen-year-old Emily Branch and 15-year-old Grace Wickes are sitting at the back of Chapters bookstore, each flipping through pages. Grace is riffling through an astronomy book. Emily has picked up If I Stay, by Gayle Forman. She has already seen the movie. The two Grade 11 Sa-Hali secondary students are visiting the store after school and have been friends for eight years. They know exactly when they met. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We actually have our friendship anniversary to the date,â&#x20AC;? Emily says. It was Sept. 17, 2006, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a date

Grace wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two days after my dad passed away,â&#x20AC;? she says. Grace prefers not to discuss the details, but it was about the time she moved to Kamloops from â&#x20AC;&#x153;out in the boonies,â&#x20AC;? by Williams Lake. Emily had also just moved to Kamloops and they each started their school year at Beattie School of Arts two weeks into that September. They say their teacher â&#x20AC;&#x153;set them upâ&#x20AC;? as friends, being the new kids. They shared a locker and, eventually, a rugby team.

COMMUNITY

Join others, meet, go for a walk Take a walk and get to know your neighbours this weekend. The Kamloops community and followers of Sikh founder Guru Nanak’s Philosophy of Humanity will be hosting the annual Know Your Neighbour Day on Saturday, Nov. 8. This year, the event features a walk through McArthur Island Park. The event began in 2012 to strengthen community in the Tournament Capital. All are invited to partake in the stroll, beginning at 10:30 a.m. The walk will be followed by complimentary snacks and refreshments at the temple at 700 Cambridge St., next to the park. Donations will be accepted for the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation.

Fun and games and toys, Saturday A little toy store in the neighbourhood will be celebrating with some big noise this weekend. Tumbleweed Toys will feature activities, contests, prizes and giveaways at its store in Sahali Centre Mall on Saturday, Nov. 8, all in the name of Neighbourhood Toy Store Day. The event will include colouring and crafts, free gifts with purchase, game demonstrations, face painting — from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. — and discounts in the store. For more information, go online to tumbleweedtoys.ca or search for the store on Facebook. The mall is located at 945 Columbia St.

Defence wins title in battle

strong immune system is the body’s best defence against colds and flus. Good nutrition is key to building your body’s defenses. Help fight common bugs by filling your diet with healthy foods. Load up on fruits and vegetables. They contain powerful antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that will build up your immune system to help fight off illness. Choose brightly coloured or dark green fruits and veggies for the most antioxidants. Aim for seven to eight servings per day. One serving equals one small- to mediumsized piece of fruit or vegetable or a halfcup of chopped fruit

with bugs

WELL and/or vegetables. Digestive health plays an important role in preventing sickness. Normally, your body contains “friendly” bacteria, or flora, that help fight off any “bad” bacteria trying to gain access to your system. Diets high in refined sugar, frequent antibiotic use and everyday stress can disrupt this healthy balance of

“friendly” versus “bad” bacteria, leaving one more vulnerable to sickness. You can help restore healthy digestive flora by eating foods that naturally contain good bacteria and/or by taking a probiotic supplement. Probiotics can be found naturally in fermented foods such

as yogurt, buttermilk, miso, tempeh and fresh sauerkraut. Vitamin D is also thought to play an important role in strengthening the immune system. Health Canada recommends between 200 and 600 international units (IU) per day, depending on age. Some other national

health organizations recommend higher doses. For instance, the Canadian Cancer Society recommends 1,000 IU per day for adults during the fall and winter months. Dietary sources of vitamin D include milk, fortified soy beverage, salmon, tuna, sardines and egg yolks.

Talk to your healthcare provider to learn if you are getting enough vitamin D. Of course, nutrition is only part of the solution. Exercise is also a powerful way to bolster your immune system. Among the many benefits of exercise is stress reduction. Stress takes a sig-

nificant toll on our immune system, so it’s important to take time for yourself. Get out for a brisk walk, go for a bike ride, take part in yoga — any physical activity you enjoy. Simone Jennings is a community nutritionist with the Interior Health Authority

VWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2015 Jetta keeps building its rep ROB BEINTEMA

METROLAND MEDIA

Canadians might still think of the Beetle as the universally recognized icon of Volkswagen, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another compact car that is really the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breadand-butter sales star â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the entry-level link to the entire VW lineup. Initially designed as a three-box answer to customer quests for a Golf with a trunk and marketed globally under nearly a dozen different names â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bora, Atlantic, Fox, Sagitar, Classico, Vento, to name a few â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Jetta, as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been known in North America through six generations, has undergone a mid-cycle refresh for the 2015 model year. Building on what the marketing spin doctors referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;class up appeal,â&#x20AC;? this year the designers have spruced up the Jetta inside and out with cosmetic touches, engineering tweaks and a higher content level â&#x20AC;&#x201D; new available driving and safety tech-

nologies that include blindspot monitoring with rear traffic alert, an intelligent crash-response system and a forward collision warning system along with front and rear park distance control. Outside, a new front end boasts a new bumper and a new radiator grille featuring three cross fins designed to emphasize vehicle width. Available Bi-Xenon headlamps are marked by a signature 15-LED L-shaped daytime running light surround â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the disco-style lighting accent initiated by Audi years ago and now stolen by everyone. New air intakes up front, improved rain gutters on the A pillars and added panelling underneath the car combine to improve air flow along the body and undercarriage. An available closeable shutter on the radiator also improves aerodynamics and quicker engine warming on startup. Of course, Granddad would be muttering about â&#x20AC;&#x153;just one more dang thing to go wrong,â&#x20AC;? but you get the idea as to

how determined designers were to sweat the small stuff so the overall package was improved. The mid-cycle exterior makeover concludes in back with an updated rear treatment featuring a new trunk with integrated spoiler on the trailing edge, new taillights, new emblems and new rear bumper. Inside, all 2015 Jettas

feature a new multifunction steering wheel, new tunneldesign gauges, redesigned air vents, new seat fabrics, ambient lighting and updated trim with piano-black and chrome accents. Along with across the board improvement, the 2015 Jetta lineup offers a wealth of choices, based on a selection of four ascending trim levels â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Trendline,

Trendline +, Comfortline and Highline â&#x20AC;&#x201D; along with a spread of five different four-cylinder powertrains. At entry level, Trendline models have a healthy equipment list, but without air conditioning and, starting at $14,990, offer a naturally aspirated 115 hp 2.0-litre engine. This is the make-do motor for the carsas-appliance crowd.

If we shift to the enthusiast end of the power and price spectrum, top-of-the line Jetta customers can choose from the hotrod GLI, starting at $28,990 and powered by a 210 hp 2.0litre turbocharged motor, or opt for a fuel-sipping Jetta Hybrid, starting at $28,490 and powered by a 1.4-litre turbocharged engine.

Elantra sales surpass 10 M

24 years after launch

The Hyundai Elantra recently sold its 10 millionth unit globally. Elantra is Hyundai’s first model, and one of only 10 cars in the history of the auto industry, to reach 10 million sales. Elantra was launched 24 years ago in 1990 and was able to reach this mark by selling an average of 420,000 per year or approximately 1,100 a day. Elantra continues its high value proposition as a strong choice in the highly competitive compact car segment. This has been validated by several coveted accolades over the model’s lifecycle, including ranking the highest in its segment for initial quality in the influential J.D. Power 2014 U.S. Initial Quality Study. Elantra is also the three-time recipient (2011, 2012 and 2013) of the ALG Residual Value Awards and remains one of the topshopped vehicles in the segment.

2015 Jetta an upgraded evolution Next-generation Volt Turbo-charged engine is powerful, still efficient has efficient changes From page B11

Meeting somewhere in the middle, many Canadian customers tend to pick from the mid-level selection of models featuring the 170 hp 1.8-litre turbocharged gasoline engine introduced last year to replace the standard 2.5-litre five-cylinder motor. Or, they can opt for the new third-generation 150 hp 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel. The diesel tends to add a $3,200 premium to the price, depending on trim level, and an automatic transmission also adds $1,400 to model pricing. Now, as much as I like the diesel for its fuel efficiency, for this test, my weapon of choice was a 1.8 TSI model harnessing the 1.8-litre gasolinepowered, turbocharged engine. “Are you sure?” my wife, Mary, asked me. “It sounds kind of like a diesel.” “Yeah, I’m pretty sure,” I told her. I didn’t even have to run around to the back of the car and check the badge. The nature of turbocharged engines has changed since the days when turbos needed to stretch for power in the upper reaches of the rpm stratosphere. Today’s engines are tuned more for low- and mid-range torque and they are mated to transmissions designed to make the most of fuel-efficient power. There’s no high-pitched turbo whistle or boostgauge dramatics here. This EA888 direct-injected turbo motor has a low 6,750 rpm redline and, with the tranny shifting early and often, it tends to loaf about town at a laid back 1,400 rpm or lower, barely breaking a sweat beyond its 800 rpm idle mark. The muted murmur of the engine is a quiet, almost subsonic rumble, quite similar, in fact, to the clucking mutter of Volkswagen’s diesel. Even at highway speeds, the 1.8-litre TSI manages an easygoing 1,800 rpm pace. Fuel economy is rated at 9.3/6.3L/100km (city/ hwy) and my real-world results over the course of the 400 kilometres tested averaged somewhere in the middle, at an acceptable 8.6L/100km (combined). I also like the fact that the turbocharged engine manages to make power on regular octane gas. There’s not much to dislike about in the Jetta. Except for maybe two little things: The lack of a USB outlet, something I’ve taken for granted over the last few years in all kinds of cars, although VW does have cables for personal devices. This was also the second year I had to jumpstart a Jetta, proving that both Volkswagen and I have to be a little more attentive about headlights that don’t shut off automatically. But, aside from those minor annoyances, the Jetta shows a level of Euro-styled class VW owners have come to expect. This upper-trim model, dipped in a handsome shade of silk blue with an iridium-brushed interior, piano-black accents and ceramique Vienna leather upholstery, builds on a list of standard Jetta equipment, with Highline trim additions that include a power sunroof, 17-inch Lancaster alloy

wheels, six-way power driver’s seat with manual lumbar, front fog lamps, leather-wrapping on the multi-function steering wheel, shift knob and handbrake lever, along with other options. An optional technology package adds RNS 510 navigation, single CD with 30GB hard drive, Fender Premium audio with eight speakers and subwoofer, and Bi-Xenon headlights with VW’s Adaptive Front-light System (AFS) that angles your headlights according to steering wheel turns, accented by the LED daytime running lights. It’s an impressive package on a car that is already impressive, regardless of trim level. For the 2015 model year, this Jetta is simply an upgraded evolution of the timeless design that has kept it faithfully established on Volkswagen Canada’s best-selling list.

When the next-generation Chevrolet Volt debuts at the North American International Auto Show in January, it will feature an allnew Voltec extended range electric vehicle (EREV) propulsion system substantially developed from Volt owners including data collected on their driving behaviors. The Voltec system includes the battery, drive unit, range-extending engine and power electronics. The new system will be more efficient and offer greater EV range and fuel economy compared to the current generation. EV range estimates will be revealed

in January at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. General Motors’ industry-leading battery technology has been improved for the next-generation Volt. Revised cell chemistry, developed in conjunction with LG Chem, increases storage capacity by 20 per cent on a volume basis when compared to the original cell, while the number of cells decreases from 288 to 192. The cells are positioned lower in the pack for improved (lower) centre of gravity and the overall mass of the pack has decreased by almost 30 pounds (13 kg).

Mercedes-Benz Canada embraces life-saving QR technology When an accident occurs and the vehicle is seriously damaged, the priority for the rescue services is to free the occupants.

This can be extremely dangerous for both occupants and first responders since the vehicle is equipped with many

potentially hazardous components, such as high-voltage wiring, fuel lines, airbags and SRS pyrotechnics, all of which can be com-

teams for decades, it was traditionally provided in a printed format or downloadable as a PDF document. Now, it can be

promised depending on the severity of the impact. While MercedesBenz information has been available to rescue

accessed by scanning a QR code with a smartphone, providing immediate access to a detailed rescue card that contains all of the structural details specific to a vehicle model, such as the location of airbags, battery, highstrength steel (HSLA) and fuel tank, to name a few, so rescue equipment can be used as safely and as effectively as possible to save lives. Last year, Daimler announced that it would offer direct access to vehiclespecific rescue cards by means of a QR code â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a world first.

The QR code has been fitted as standard equipment in all new Mercedes-Benz cars since the end of 2013, Mercedes-Benz vans since August and smart vehicles since January. This benefit is not only limited to the owners of new vehicles. The QR code stickers can be installed free of charge, by an authorized MercedesBenz dealership, in all Mercedes-Benz and smart pre-owned vehicles manufactured from 1990 onwards (1996 in the case of Mercedes-Benz vans). â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Metroland Media

Clever engineering and thoughtful design solutions help make Lincoln vehicles among the quietest on the road. Providing an oasis of quiet is something luxury customers increasingly crave. An article in a recent issue of Fortune, for example, noted how high-end hotels and resorts are putting a greater focus on offering silence as an amenity. Even before the engine is started, the interior of a vehicle can be designed to provide a refuge from a hectic world. Reducing â&#x20AC;&#x153;visual noiseâ&#x20AC;? begins with a strong emphasis on horizontal lines and thoughtful interaction between shapes. Shapes work together so that what occupants see convey a sense of quiet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; forms and lines are arranged so they are smooth and flowing. Rich and premium materials are comfortable, of course, but also exude a certain confidence. That confidence can breed a sense of calm, so authentic materials, such as natural woods and metals, combined with high grades of leather, complete the environment.

GLOBAL VIEWS

Merkel pulling rug out from Cameron

“

What we have today is a story based on speculation about what [German Chancellor] Angela Merkel might have said about something [British Prime Minster] David Cameron might say in the future,” said David Davis, a prominent Conservative member of parliament, in London. So, no big deal, then? It’s a very big deal: Merkel is pulling the rug out from under Cameron. For all his tough talk about renegotiating the terms of Britain’s membership in the European Union, she is saying, he has no cards in his hand. At the EU summit on Oct. 25, Cameron said changing the existing rules that guarantee freedom of movement for workers within the EU would be “at the very heart of my renegotiation strategy for Europe.” No, said Merkel, it won’t work: “We have the basic principle of free movement. We won’t meddle with that.” In other words, if Cameron doesn’t like the membership rules — tough. He can hold a referendum if he wants or leave the EU if he wins. But, there’s no way he can get the other 27 members to change Activ

WATCH the basic rules of the organization just to solve his political problem at home. In fact, Merkel will try to ensure Cameron loses next year’s British election so there is no referendum on Britain’s EU membership. Being an experienced politician, however, Merkel delivered part of her message in a deniable way. It was officials from Merkel’s own office and the German foreign ministry who briefed newsmagazine Der Spiegel on her plans. They were not to be quoted by name — and it was left to the rest of us to figure out what her words would do to Cameron’s re-election chances. Cameron has recently been talking about imposing quotas on low-skilled people from other EU countries moving to Britain, in a desperate attempt to get around EU rules. “Should Cameron persist [in this quota plan], Chancellor Angela Merkel would

abandon her efforts to keep Britain in the EU,” Merkel’s officials told Der Spiegel. “With that, a point of no return would be reached.” Shape up or ship out. Merkel has launched a counterstrike that may well bring Cameron down. By making it crystal clear his renegotiation strategy cannot work, she is effectively telling British voters if they re-elect Cameron’s Conservatives next May, they will be voting to leave the EU. The election itself becomes a referendum on EU membership — a referendum she obviously thinks Cameron will lose. Merkel is probably right. For all the fulmination in the British right-wing press about the country being overrun by immigrants from poorer EU countries, public support for EU membership in Britain is higher than it has been since 1991. It is still only a modest 56 per cent, but that is a lot higher than the 44 per cent support that the same Ipsos MORI polling organization found two years ago. The immigrants are not taking British jobs as the UK has one of the lowest unemployment rates in Europe. The problem is perceptions — and, particularly, the per-

ceptions of those who normally vote Conservative. The right-wing media in Britain, as in most countries, pander to nationalism and fear of foreigners rampant among older and poorer populations. Too many foreigners coming in, living off our taxes and stealing our jobs is a simple — though rarely an accurate — explanation why this section of the population feels marginalized, so this narrative works well with them. Britain is pulling in more EU workers than usual because its economy is doing relatively better than Germany, France, Spain, etc. The numbers are not overwhelming but, under EU rules, Britain has no right to bar them, so anti-EU nationalism and antiimmigrant sentiment have grown into a stronger force — but only on the right. Cameron belongs to the grown-up majority in the Conservative Party and is not personally anti-EU. But, the emergence and explosive growth of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), specifically tailored to appeal to the

anti-immigrant-andEU vote, has panicked the right wing of the Conservative party. Cameron has had to move further and further right to placate them and compete with UKIP, so he can no longer afford to be sensible about the EU. Merkel has understood this and has effectively written him off, even though she is a conservative herself. Her strategy is now to force Cameron into an openly anti-EU stance, split the rightwing vote in Britain

evenly between the Conservatives and UKIP and open the way for Labour to win the election. That’s the only way
