Beloved music teacher mourned DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Alexander Ward will be a professional musician because of Rob Petersen. Ward’s dad, Peter — himself a longtime musician and music teacher — said there’s not a doubt in his mind his son grew to love classical music thanks to Petersen, who was hit by a car and died on the weekend in Kamloops. Petersen, a music teacher and dedicated bike rider, was on his bicycle heading north on Springhill Drive in Upper Sahali at about 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 15, when a southbound vehicle made a left turn in front of him, causing a collision. Petersen was rushed to Royal Inland Hospital in critical condition and died a short time later. Petersen taught music at Our Lady of Perpetual Help (OLPH) school and St. Ann’s Academy. Daniela O’Fee, who first started working with Petersen in 1991 — when the two created what was then known as the University College of the Cariboo Chorus and is now the TRU Chorus — said one of the many memories she has of Petersen is how much he loved to ride his bike. O’Fee said Petersen just wanted “to make the world a better place through music,” calling his death a huge loss to the city’s musical community. “When a teacher passes away, particularly a music teacher, it leaves a very huge gap in the lives of a lot of people,” she said. Ward agreed, calling Petersen an amazing man with a true gift for teaching children music, harmonies and the joy of singing. “He was an amazing choral teacher,” Ward said. Bruce Dunn, conductor of the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra, echoed Ward’s sentiments. “I knew he was out there doing wonderful work with children, which is what he’s always done. I am sad for the children he works with. All those kids had this fabulous opportunity to work with him. “He leaves a dazzling legacy.” See TRIBUTES, A7

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Kamloops-North Thompson MLA and Health Minister Terry Lake (right) congratulates Ken Christian on once again finishing first in the councillor race in Saturday’s (Nov. 15) civic election. Mayor Peter Milobar was re-elected, as were all but one incumbent councillor — Nelly Dever. New to council are Dieter Dudy and Denis Walsh. On the Kamloops-Thompson board of education, Joe Small joins four incumbents as Kamloops trustees.

MILOBAR: ‘PEOPLE HAVE APPRECIATED’ ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Mayor Peter Milobar called the civicelection results a validation of his council’s work over the past term. “It’s nice to know that, what we’ve done over the last three years, people have appreciated,” Milobar told KTW, pointing to the large number of incumbent

councillors voters returned to office. Only one incumbent, Nelly Dever, was knocked from her spot on council. Dever, who finished eighth in 2011, came in 10th on Saturday, Nov. 15, with 6,685 votes. Former councillor Nancy Bepple, who resigned her council seat in March due to health issues, finished 16th with 4,601 votes.

Milobar won his own race handily, with 17,006 votes compared to 2,941 for Pierre Filisetti, 1,040 for Ben James and 786 for Dallas Paisley. On the council side, Ken Christian topped the polls for the second term in a row, with 12,473 votes — an improvement on the 10,880 he garnered in 2011. See THE TIME, A4

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Vision Kamloops saw 40 per cent of its slate elected. Dieter Dudy (second from left) and Denis Walsh (right) are part of the new council, while Jenny Green (left) and Daphane Nelson finished outside the top eight. Fifth member Brad Harrison was in Calgary on election day and was not elected.

A Vision for city council ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Two members of Vision Kamloops are headed to city hall after the Nov. 15 civic elections. But, how much of a role the five-candidate alliance played in getting them there is up for debate. Dieter Dudy, a Westsyde farmer who nearly won the mayoral seat in 2011, picked up 10,399 votes to secure a third-place finish in the councillor race. Former city councillor Denis Walsh, who served from 2008 to 2011, had 8,549 votes to finish fifth. The next-best finish by a Vision member was Jenny Green, who came in 15th with 4,658 votes, one place ahead of quasiincumbent Nancy Bepple, who stepped down from council in March of this year. Brad Harrison took 17th (4145) and Daphane Nelson was 19th (3606). Both Dudy and Walsh had higher public profiles than other members of their alliance, which was formed on the weekend following the close of nominations on Oct. 10. Walsh admitted it’s likely his previous time on council propelled him back into office more than Vision Kamloops. “The election was really tilted towards name recognition, which is unfortunate,” he said. “It should be more about substance, I think. But, that’s just the way it works right now.” Dudy felt he was initially risking his campaign, which had been in the works since the beginning of the year, by joining Vision

Kamloops. “But, by the end, I think Vision Kamloops was actually gaining some traction,” he said. “I think people were beginning to recognize it for what it was.” The pair say they were more concerned about boosting Harrison, Green and Nelson, and believe they were able to do so. Nelson, too, believes Vision Kamloops improved her chances with voters. “I have, like, 3,000 votes,” she told KTW. “If I hadn’t been involved, I’d have got six.” While she won’t be on council, Nelson said she’s offered her services to Walsh and Dudy should they need help with research or backup during the term. “I’m fully committed to the team,” she said. While Walsh and Dudy expect to work together on council, it’s not clear what the future of the alliance will be. Asked whether they believe the city will see a repeat of Vision, or more traditional slates, in 2018, members were mixed in their responses. “I think, in this case, with the issues Kamloops was facing, it was the right model at the right time,” Green said. Dudy, meanwhile, thinks other candidates may see a value in Vision Kamloops’ experiment. “I know I had one of the candidates say to me that he was concerned there may be more of these in the future — and I don’t necessarily see that as a bad thing,” Dudy said. “If it benefits the public to be able to look at candidates as a group as opposed to individually, they may see more. I think we brought something to this election process.”

CIVIC ELECTION 2014

Ken Christian:‘The time for civic politics is over’ From A1

ALLEN DOUGLAS PHOTOS/KTW TOP: Elected incumbent Coun. Donovan Cavers accepts congratulations from fellow candidate Reo Rocheleau, who did not make the cut. ABOVE: Andy Philpot (right) chats with John O’Fee at city hall after ballots were counted. For the second consecutive election, Philpot finished on the bubble, placing ninth, one spot back of Pat Wallace and the final council position. O’Fee, a former city councillor, was at city hall to comment on the election for Radio NL.

Also elected were Arjun Singh (10,939), Dieter Dudy (10,399), Donovan Cavers (8,957), Denis Walsh (8,549), Marg Spina (8,380), Tina Lange (8,374) and Pat Wallace (7,483). Both Christian and Singh called their vote numbers for the night humbling. “I think that, as you go through the process of serving, you try to keep your ear to the ground and try to learn what the community values and wants, and you try and serve in that way,” said Singh, who picked up more than 3,600 votes above his 2011 tally. Cavers, too, was celebrating an increase in votes — and the election of Vision Kamloops members Dudy and Walsh. “With Dieter [Dudy] and Denis [Walsh] on council, I think it will kind of lighten the load for me with the issues that we agree on,” Cavers said, adding he believes the new council will have a greater focus on environmental issues. Though the pair was part of an alliance during the campaign, Dudy and Walsh don’t expect to always agree once they’re sitting in council chambers. “It’s more a question of us talking amongst the rest of council and using the resources we have from the past alliance,” Dudy said. With four councillors who have taken a position against the proposed Ajax mine now at city hall, Walsh is hoping to see more discussion on the issue of the controversial proposed copper and gold mine. “I think council’s been too mute on the issue,” he said. Spina said she sees the pair’s election to council as a sign of public concerns about the Ajax mine, to which both new councillors are opposed. “I think when the public tells us they have certain things they want us to look at, we have to

listen,” Spina said. Wallace, who dropped from fourth to eighth in this election (though the number of votes she received increased very slightly from 2011, to 7,483 from 7,461) was also celebrating on election night. Wallace said she was concerned she might be dropped from council due to age discrimination. “It was very disappointing because people, when they’re older, are just as smart as they are at 26,” she said. Lange, said she too was relieved to be back for what she said will be her last term. “I honestly believed I was doomed,” she said. While she was hoping for a fourth term, Lange said she thought her stance against the Ajax mine might have alienated her traditional business supporters, and voters hungry for change might turn their backs on council’s longest-serving members. Members of the 2011 council often praised each other for their ability to get along, even when they disagreed, and incumbent councillors said they hope that dynamic will remain in place. “I think the time for civic politics is over — it ended at 8 p.m. tonight,” Christian said. “I think we really have to roll up our sleeves and get down to business right after the inaugural meeting, and I think you’ll see some kind of melding. And I hope everyone has the best interest of Kamloops at heart.” Milobar, too, said bringing the new council together as a team will be the first priority of his third term. “Really, that’s the key piece of this,” he said. “Once we’re elected, we do get viewed, regardless of our ideologies, very much as a group. So, how do we work as a group? Because we’re going to be judged together in four years from now.”

No surprises in mayoral race ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

While few watching Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; latest mayoral race predicted anything but a landslide victory for incumbent Peter Milobar, his closest challenger is feeling good about his secondplace finish. Pierre Filisetti captured just 2,941 votes to Milobarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 17,006. But, the landscaper said, given the size and timing of his campaign, announced little more than a month before voting day, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pleased with the results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reality of getting into a race like this with virtually no money, policy that is still sort of under development, I can see the limitation,â&#x20AC;? Filisetti said. Though he hoped to secure some votes, Filisetti wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure what his showing would be on Nov. 15. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three thousand votes for $500 in expenses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I think I did better than I expected,â&#x20AC;? he said. Third-place finisher Ben James (1,040 votes) said there were no surprises for him on

election night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pissed off that Kamloops didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually vote higher,â&#x20AC;? he said, pointing to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 33 per cent voter turnout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the only thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m upset about. Otherwise, everything went exactly as I anticipated.â&#x20AC;? James, the mayoralty raceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest competitor at 30, said by the end of the race, it seemed he and Filisetti were in a competition of their own to secure the highest number of votes from those who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to support Milobar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimately, I guess when the voting public looks at who, in their minds, is more eligible for mayor, obviously theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go with the older gentleman,â&#x20AC;? James said. Both he and Filisetti renewed their pledges to return to civic politics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My campaign is just starting,â&#x20AC;? Filisetti said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to four years from now. If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still in Kamloops and still on my feet, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in it for sure.â&#x20AC;?

James said if he mounts a 2018 campaign, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take the advice of his supporters and consider a run for city councillor instead of the top post. James staged an unsuccessful run for city council in 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kamloops canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get rid of me,â&#x20AC;? he said. While Milobar handily won his victory on election night with 78 per cent of the vote, the returning mayor said he felt it was important to mount a strong, highly visible run for office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a very directed approach this time,â&#x20AC;? Milobar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started almost a year ago laying the groundwork and getting stuff in place because we were fully prepared and wanting to make sure we did a full-on campaign regardless of who was in or not.â&#x20AC;? Milobar said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pleased with his campaign â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which featured more advertising than all his challengers combined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the result we were hoping for,â&#x20AC;? he said.

A shockwave is an intense, but very short energy wave travelling faster than the speed of sound. The basic technology involved with extra corporeal shockwave technology has been used for decades on millions of people. Certain musculoskeletal and orthopedic conditions have a hard time healing due to the development of unhealthy, disorganized tissue in the area of injury. Over time, this dysfunctional tissue limits the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to repair and heal itself. Research has shown Shockwave Therapy to be highly effective in treating musculoskeletal and orthopedic conditions by stimulating the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own natural healing response.

The newest member of the Kamloops-Thompson board of education spent election day defrosting the refrigerator, cleaning up a work table and tossing dead flowers into the garbage. Joe Small, a retired principal and teacher, has wanted to run for the School District 73 board since 2011, when he was still working for the district.

Trustees Denise Harper, Cara McKelvey and Rhonda Kershaw were acclaimed in their areas of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District. Shelley Sims defeated Willow MacDonald for the trustee seat in Clearwater. “It’s a good group of people, working well together and I am pleased with new trustee, Joe Small, who has a background in education,” said current board chairwoman Harper. Re-elected incumbent Gerald Watson said it was clear the public has been feeling the angst of the

Once retired, he knew he wanted to seek one of the five Kamloops seats on the board. Small joins re-elected incumbents Joan Cowden, Kathleen Karpuk, Gerald Watson and Meghan Wade on the board. Fifteen candidates were seeking the five Kamloops seats, with all four incumbents defending their seats and Small the lone challenger elected. He fills the spot vacated by longtime trustee Annette Glover, who was unsuccessful in her run for council.

recent job action by teachers and he hopes to work to help heal the education system of the remnants of the strike/lockout that saw students not return to school until late September. Fellow re-elected trustee Meghan Wade said her priority when the board gets back to work is also deal with the aftermath of the strike and the morale issue in all schools. Kathleen Karpuk, also re-elected to the board, said she experienced butterflies all day and was glad the day was done. She said one of her priorities is to

push the provincial government to listen to its own budget committee on the need to fund education. Incumbent Joan Cowden, who topped the polls, said she spent the day putting thank-you helium balloons on some of her signs in the city. Cowden said she was thankful to be re-elected and is looking forward to working with the new board. She said she has no overriding issue she plans to pursue beyond “continuing to advance the district and continue to work for the kids.”

Two of three incumbents victorious in area TNRD races CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The regional district will feature a large contingent of returning directors, but a new chairman will lead it beginning next month. Current chairman Bill Humphreys was one of only two incumbent mayors on the TNRD board to suffer defeat in the Nov. 15 election. Three years ago, Humphreys was a surprise winner against then-incumbent Mike Fennell, but the mayor and current board chairman lost this time to veteran councillor Virginia Smith. Humphreys credited Smith’s election team, which helped increase voter turnout by about 40 per cent. Nearly half of eligible voters cast

a ballot in the municipality incorporated in 2007. Smith defeated Humphreys by a vote of 506 to 191. “All elections are driven by something I guess,” Humphreys said. “In this case I’ll give absolute kudos and credit to [Smith campaign manager] Val Stamer’s team.” The newly elected TNRD board will vote for a new chairman at a meeting next month. Smith said no single issue dominated the campaign. While Humphreys made an announcement recently about a deal to bring a medical marijuana manufacturer to town, Smith said it didn’t play a factor in the campaign. Elsewhere in the North Thompson Valley,

Clearwater Mayor John Harwood handily defeated John Kreke. Sun Peaks mayor Al Raine is returned by acclamation. In Area P, which includes Tk’emlups Indian Band and Sun Rivers, challenger Mel Rothenburger knocked off incumbent John Sternig by a vote margin of 512-444. Both Sternig and Rothenburger said they campaigned hard, resulting in an huge increase in voter turnout from the 2008 election. Sternig was acclaimed in 2011. “It was a quiet campaign in a sense, but we both worked very hard,” Rothenburger said. Rothenburger said he is too new to consider taking a run at the chairman’s job. Sternig, who won half the polls, agreed it was a hard-fought campaign. His analysis

shows he lost the election in Sun Rivers, which voted 180 to 62 in favour of Rothenburger. “The direction of the TNRD has little effect on taxation and services there,” he said of the subdivision on Tk’emlups Indian Band lease land. In Area L, which includes Knutsford and the area south of Kamloops, Ken Gillis defended his seat, fending off challenger and former director John Taylor by a vote margin of 281-184. Gillis said issues in his area ranged from worries about weeds and grasshoppers to hours of the local eco-depot. In Area J, which includes Cherry Creek and the area west of Kamloops, incumbent Ronaye Elliott defeated Ron McGivern, 143-78.

After 35 years, wallet returned TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Martha Shepherd’s phone rang last week and the man on the other end of the line identified himself as a Vancouver Island police officer, she assumed the worst. “You automatically think it’s bad news,” she said. “It seems that’s all that is on the news nowadays.” The officer was a sergeant from the RCMP detachment in Ucluelet — a place on Vancouver Island Shepherd hadn’t been for 35 years.

The officer then asked Shepherd if she had lost a purse. “I said yes and he asked when,” Shepherd said. “I said, ‘I can’t remember, but it was at Long Beach.’ “He said they were drying it out and they’d be sending a parcel.” On a camping trip to Long Beach in 1979, Shepherd’s car was broken into and her purse stolen. She was missing her wallet and about $100 in cash. “I asked him, ‘I don’t suppose there was $100 in there?’” Shepherd said. There wasn’t. But, the people of the community

pitched in and sent $100 in a package alongside all of Shepherd’s old IDs. Also included were a smattering of Ucluelet souvenirs — a blanket from the Ucluelet First Nation, bumper stickers, homemade canned salmon, magnets and cards signed by community members. It turns out a highways worker cleaning a ditch earlier this year in Ucluelet happened upon Shepherd’s wallet. Shepherd said she hasn’t been back to Ucluelet since her purse was stolen and, until last week, she had no intention of ever returning. “No, but now I want to go,” she said. “I’d like to in the summertime.”

In addition to the school choruses, Petersen also worked with the Kamloops Children’s Choir in the 1990s. Kris Ruston taught alongside Petersen’s wife, Judy, at the Long and McQuade music school. Ruston said he never worked directly with Petersen, but knew of his talents. “I don’t know if a lot of people know about his original compositions, but the ones that I did get to hear were no less than amazing on many levels,” Ruston

said. “He was an extremely creative and generous musician and I believe that his passing is a tremendous loss to the music community here in Kamloops.” Many of Petersen’s students and colleagues took to social media to share their sorrow. Local musician Nick Paskewitz, for example, thanked Petersen “for introducing me to music. You changed my life, sir. Wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing without your guidance.” Barry McCluskey, who now lives in

IS VOTING REALLY THAT DIFFICULT?

n the 2011 Kamloops civic election, only 29 per cent of eligible voters bothered to visit a polling station to cast a ballot. There were 65,332 eligible voters and only 19,442 actually voted. Why that number is always so low and why that particular year yielded such abysmal figures can be debated forever. Weather was not a factor on Nov. 19, 2011. It was cold, but not brutally so — a high of -4.3 C during the day, with no snow or rain. The sad turnout prompted a drive to convince more people to vote this year. Kamloops Vote 50 was formed, a group dedicated to increasing voter turnout — ideally to the 50 per cent level. Meetings were held, stories were written and volunteers tried like hell to get the vote out. In the end, which came at about 9 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 15, voter turnout had improved — albeit by a rather pedestrian four per cent, with 33 per cent of eligible voters casting ballots. Again — why? Why is it so hard to get residents to vote in the one election that affects their lives so much more than any other election? The City of Kamloops is to be commended for taking steps to make voting easier. There were three advance polls. There was a polling station on McArthur Island. There was a polling station in Sahali Centre Mall. There was a polling station at Thompson Rivers University. People are busy? Yes, they are. Too busy to take a few minutes on a Saturday to vote at any one of 21 polling stations. No, they aren’t. Is the fact two of three people routinely skip the ballot boxes an indication of laziness or complacency with the status quo? Whatever the reason, there has to be a way to get more people to cast a ballot, be it by introducing Internet voting or passing legislation that makes voting mandatory.

A fine balance on council

“

It’s 5-4. It’s 5-4.” The words were said as the elected incumbent looked at the large screen at Kamloops City Hall on election night, the screen that displayed the vote tallies that have changed the makeup of city council. While some online commenters at kamloopsthisweek.com decried what they saw as a statusquo city council, many of those watching the results at city hall opined the election was a de facto referendum on the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine. After all, when the ballots had been counted, almost half of city council is now officially opposed to the mining project south of Aberdeen. Incumbents Donovan Cavers and Tina Lange have been joined by new councillors Dieter Dudy and Denis Walsh in the fight to stop KGHM’s Ajax plan. That means five council members are either not ready to state their views or waiting for more information before committing to a stand. Dudy and Walsh ran as part of the five-person Vision Kamloops slate, with fellow members Brad Harrison, Jenny Green and Daphane Nelson failing to get elected. A plank in Vision Kamloops’ platform was its opposition to Ajax, which means four of the nine council members are now officially against the mining proposal. This means official opposition to Ajax at city hall has doubled after the election. And that ties back to the “5-4” comment at the top

MUSINGS of this column. The incumbent who uttered those words was referring to a general split on council — Peter Milobar, Ken Christian, Marg Spina, Arjun Singh and Pat Wallace vs. Donovan Cavers, Dieter Dudy, Denis Walsh and Tina Lange, at least on the Ajax issue. Some would argue the 5-4 split could also be arranged by trading Singh for Lange when grouping councillors according to a socially conscious bent. There will not be a blanket voting bloc according to the lineups of the two groups. As Walsh said at Vision Kamloops’ election-night party at the Noble Pig: “There will be times and issues where me and Dieter disagree.” And, certainly, while Lange and Cavers agree on their opposition to Ajax, the political DNA of the two is anything but uniform. As for the comment that the municipal election was a de facto vote on Ajax, it depends on how one looks at the results. Of the 28 councillor candidates,

11 were publicly opposed to Ajax. Of those 11, four were elected. So, is that a de facto win or loss for Ajax via the civic election? *** The success of Dudy and Walsh is not a surprise to many. If any non-incumbents were going to be elected, it was that duo based, in part, on strong name recognition (Dudy took Milobar to the edge in the 2011 mayoral race and Walsh served as a councillor from 2008 to 2011) and the anti-Ajax stance they (and their Vision Kamloops slate) adopted. Nelly Dever’s loss was cited by some at city hall and at Milobar’s election-night party at Hotel 540 as the lone surprise of the election. But, with Dudy and Walsh forecast to be elected, that left one incumbent at risk (there was also an empty seat due to Nancy Bepple’s resignation in the spring). Why Dever? It’s hard to say. It could be her ties to voting in favour of the recent council pay raise. It could be voters did not have passion for her personal project of improving the corridor along Tranquille Road from the airport. *** I advised Andy Philpot to avoid poker tables. The extremely likeable community volunteer finished ninth for the second consecutive election. Ninth is one spot from being elected or, in poker parlance, on the bubble, one spot from finishing in the money. There is no pain like the pain of finishing ninth in a councillor race in Kamloops.

NO RATIONAL THOUGHTS IN COLUMN Editor: First of all, it was good to see Mr. Ligertwood urging people to read The Bible. That’s quite heartwarming (and puzzling) coming from an atheist. Secondly, I am a little concerned with his take on the murder of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo by Michael ZehafBibeau. It seems pretty clear that Zehaf-Bibeau was an inept terrorist with some mentalhealth issues, whose motives were religiously inspired.

Ligertwood’s view of Zehaf-Bibeau as a “victim” would probably not sit too well with Cirillo’s family and fellow soldiers, or the millions of Canadians who paid tribute to Cirillo last week. Zehaf-Bibeau was seen on a tour of the parliament buildings prior to the attack like he was scoping out the layout of the buildings. I’d say that’s pretty good evidence of a premeditated terror attack, not the whim of a mentally deranged person.

from the museum. It has been there since the 1880s and is still working. The volunteers at the museum — all in their 80s — have lived there all of their lives and love that mine, the major employer of the area. We need good-paying jobs so we can have a tax base to support our education and health care systems. Regarding oil and gas — one wonders if all our protesters fly on brooms and where they are employed. Do their places of employment not require gas or oil? How would it magically get to their modes of transportation or employment? Instead of protesting, why don’t they come up with a solution so we would no longer need gas or oil? Iva McDonald Kamloops

HAPPY TO SEE LIGERTWOOD IS STILL WRITING FOR THE NEWSPAPER

“Our federal government has been attempting to provoke such an incident for many years.” Quite frankly, I’m dying to hear how Ligertwood uncovered the government’s dastardly plot to murder a ceremonial guard at the National Tomb of the Unknown Solider. The point that is “increasingly hard to grasp,” is this column.

Editor, I have just returned to Kamloops after more than a decade out of province and just wanted to let you know what a pleasure it is to discover that Bill Ligertwood is still around. I really enjoyed his article in the Nov. 13 issue and look forward to reading many more of his rational thoughts in your paper.

Oops! One more battle on Battle ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The election is over but, due to a mailing error, the city’s preelection council will get to hold one more public hearing to wind down its term. The hearing, set for Nov. 25, will be a repeat of Nov. 4, when council voted to allow the construction of an 18-unit apartment building at 801 and 807 Battle St. The 4-2 vote to allow a rezoning and variances for the project came in the face of strong opposition from the neighbourhood, with residents speaking against the proposal for more than an hour. Under provincial law, residents within a 100-metre radius of the property were supposed to receive notification of the hearing by mail at least 10 days before it took place.

MORE CHILDCARE SPACES

But, planning and development manager Randy Lambright told KTW, the city discovered after the fact some residents had not received the city’s mailout in time. While some residents in the area received their notices 12 days beforehand, others got them a day late of the mandated timeline. Without a new public hearing, Lambright said, the city could be open to legal challenge. “We’re erring on the side of caution to make sure there’s no technicality,” he said. “It’s just one of those unfortunate things.” Lambright said the city has faced a similar situation in the past few years, when it had to redo a public hearing for a Rayleigh property. In that case, some property owners did not receive notifica-

tion about the public hearing due to an error with the city’s computer-based mapping system. This is the third public hearing for the Battle Street project. Council initially turned down the proposal when it first went to public hearing earlier this fall, then changed its mind on appeal. Stephanie Chaput, one of many residents who spoke against the proposed apartment at the Nov. 4 hearing, said she’s not sure whether her neighbours will come out in the same numbers as they did for the last public hearing. She said many people who spoke feel council dismissed the neighbourhood’s concerns, which centred around the apartment’s smaller-than-average number of parking spaces. “I think a lot of people were a little disillusioned last time,” she said.

Murder trial continues at Kamloops Law Courts TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Holdback evidence about how many times a Kamloops woman was struck in the head before she died was used by police to make a case for a second-degree murder charge against Robert Balbar, a jury has been told. Balbar’s trial entered its second week on Monday, Nov. 17, with testimony from the police officer tasked with managing the investigation into Heather Hamill’s murder in 2003. RCMP Cpl. Andre Mathieu said two investigators were the only people who knew about the holdback evidence — details about the injuries to Hamill’s head — until an undercover Mr. Big investigation was launched in 2007.

During the investigation, Balbar, 42, told an undercover Mountie he hit Hamill, his girlfriend, in the head with a hammer as many as 60 times — information that matched what was literally kept under lock and key in an RCMP safe. Hamill, 31, was killed in lateJuly 2003. Her body was found in the North Thompson River at Indian Point Park on Aug. 1, 2003, by a jogger who had a habit of stopping in the area to check river levels. Jack Roberge said he noticed something floating near a partially submerged tree he used as a measuring stick for river levels. “I thought, ‘That looks like a body,’” he said. “But, I wasn’t really sure. “So, I went and had a look and,

yeah, it was a body.” Roberge said the body was floating about 10 feet off the shore. He said he couldn’t tell if it was a man or a woman and didn’t notice any injuries. “The body was badly decomposed,” he said. “There was quite a stink coming off of it and it was extremely bloated up.” Kamloops was in the midst of a heat wave at the time, with temperatures nearing the 40 C mark. Roberge said he ran to a nearby business and asked employees to call 911. Twenty minutes later, he said, a fire truck showed up and he took firefighters to the body. Also taking the stand was Morris Rugolo, who said he gave Balbar and a large cooler — inside

of which, the Crown contends, was Hamill’s body — a ride from a North Shore alley to the T’Kemlups Indian Band reserve. He said a mutual friend offered him some work. “He asked me if I wanted to make some money and drive a guy to the Kamloops Indian reserve,” he said. “I said sure. I didn’t have a job. I wanted to make some money. Giving a person a ride is a pretty easy job. “He had a large cooler with him.” Last week, court was shown video of Balbar’s confession, made to an undercover Mountie who was posing as a powerful gang leader. He spoke in a matter-of-fact tone describing the altercation

that led to Hamill’s death. Balbar said Hamill had been waving a machete in the air and threatened his son. Balbar told the officer he hit Hamill in the head with a hammer to knock her out. When she came to and wanted to call police, Balbar said, he continued to beat her until she “stopped blowing bubbles.” Balbar also described the elaborate lengths to which he went to clean up the crime scene, including replacing carpet, linoleum and insulation. Balbar’s trial, before a jury in B.C. Supreme Court, is slated to run into early December. This is Balbar’s second trial. The outcome of the previous trial was appealed and last year he was ordered to stand trial again.

Class-size averages set in school district With final enrolment established, the Kamloops-Thompson school district can now report average class sizes in 43 schools. A report that went to the board of education last night (Nov. 17) states kindergarten classes have an average of 19.1 students; classes in grades 1 to 3 have an

average of 21.4 students; classes in grades 4 to 7 have an average of 25.7 students; and classes in grades 8 to 12 have an average of 23 students. Seventeen secondary classes have more than 30 students. Ten are music/band or physical-education classes. Seven academic classes also

have more than 30 students, including two Grade 8 science classes (with 31 students each), a Grade 9 French class (32 students), a Grade 9 socials class (31 students), a Grade 10 science class 32 students), a Grade 11 English class (32 students) and a Grade 11 pre-calculus class (33 students). Provincial guidelines set class sizes of 22

for kindergarten, 24 for grades 1 to 3 and 30 for grades 4 to 12. In exceptional circumstances, those grades can have classes larger than 30 and teachers are paid more. The only schools not included in the report are the online KOOL school and Twin Rivers Education Centre.

2014 Y Peace Medal goes to . . . Louise Edwards Louise Edwards will receive the 2014 Y Peace Medal from the city’s YMCA-YWCA at a ceremony today (Nov. 18) at 5 p.m. The presentation is part of the Kamloops Y Peace Week, during which the Y will accept donations of new socks, mittens and scarves at all of its locations. Edwards may be best known for her seasonal decorations at her Pine Street home, but it’s the work she does in the city and on

the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver to help women and families that has brought her the medal. For many who call the notorious Vancouver area home, Edwards is known as its godmother, a woman who makes the trip from Kamloops to the area every few weeks to hand out donations, talk to people, listen to people and do what she can to try to improve the situation.

Former Daily News reporter hired to write for City of Kamloops DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

Location:

2648 Tranquille Road, as shown on the following map:

Purpose:

To facilitate the construction of a 20-unit, multiple-family development by rezoning the subject property from C-4 (Service Commercial) to RM-1 (Multiple Family - Low Density) with a site-specific amendment to permit a maximum density of 38 units per ha (20 dwelling units) with a maximum floor area ratio of 0.69. The proposed rezoning is subject to the completion of the land exchange and closure of the road adjacent to 2648 Tranquille Road.

Former Kamloops Daily News city hall reporter Michele Young has been hired by the place she spent plenty of time in recent years. She will paid by the city to produce six newsletters in a year. Tammy Robertson, the city’s business and client-services manager, said the pilot project was not put out to tender or a requestfor-proposal process because the value of the contract — $3,000 — is below the threshold that would require a public process. Robertson said the newsletter, which will be produced bi-monthly over a 12-month period, has been

planned for some time. Robertson said Young was hired because of her knowledge of city hall — she covered it for more than a decade for the newspaper — her writing expertise and her ability to find “the back stories people don’t ever hear about.” The first newsletter, which residents can subscribe to receive and access on the city’s website (kamloops. ca), was released earlier this month and included a feature on Young and stories on the municipal election; public consultation into the city’s Official Community Plan; the revelation the city does not own the building that houses Stuart Wood elementary; a profile of arena and

pools supervisor Tony Carlucci; and an update on the city budget by director of finance Sally Edwards. Robertson said she will edit the newsletter and pass it through for review to the city’s senior management team. “Really, for us, it’s just another means to get some information out,” Robertson said. “And it is the back stories and it is the funny stuff and the things we’ve done well and the things we haven’t done well. “It’s just another channel to provide information to residents. We do social media, we have our website, we do traditional advertising and this is just another way to reach residents.”

Clarification

If approved, the proposed development will be subject to a Development Permit addressing the form and character of the buildings, landscaping, and overall site design.

BROKEN WATER LINE, SATURATED SOIL CAUSED SLOPE FAILURE A photo on page A3 of the Nov. 7 edition of KTW featured the dramatic scene of the collapse of part of a hillside in Aberdeen. The collapse caused a gabion wall, and much of a home’s backyard, to buckle. However, an investigation has determined the wall itself had nothing to do with the situation. The situation is called a global slope failure, which occurs when a

slope, and whatever is on it, slides down a hill. This global slope failure in Aberdeen, just off Pacific Way, was caused by a broken water line that went undetected in the crawlspace of the house on the lot. The wall did not fail in any way, but everything under it did because the supporting soils became completely saturated with leaking water.

City sued over Aberdeen firehall contract CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A local construction firm has lost its bid to obtain legal advice given to the city on the bidding process for the Aberdeen Fire Hall — a legal skirmish that is part of larger lawsuit alleging improper award of a contract. True Construction Ltd. is suing the City of Kamloops for what it claims is improper awarding of the construction contract to Tri-City Contracting (BC) Ltd., another local firm. Tri-City was the second-lowest bidder, coming in behind True. However, the city

decided to award the contract to True in late 2010 after TriCity brought forward concerns about True’s tender document. The city disqualified True’s bid. As part of its lawsuit, True sought legal advice and a staff report based on that advice given to Kamloops council in an in-camera report. The city changed its awarding of the contract based on that legal advice. But, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan ruled solicitor-client privilege — what she called the “cornerstone principle of our legal system” — is paramount and True cannot have access to advice given to the

city by its lawyers, Fulton & Co. “I am satisfied the city has established legal advice privilege over the staff report,” she wrote in her ruling. “The affidavit evidence establishes that the city regularly obtains legal advice in the course of its business, always with the expectation and confidence that confidentiality of communications with solicitors and the advice received would be protected and not disclosed, unless it expressly consented to do so.” True’s larger lawsuit — whether its firehall bid was compliant — remains outstanding.

y 4 a.m. wakeup call comes earlier than expected and I question whether or not this is still a good idea. The Kamloops Storm will depart the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre parking lot just after 5 a.m. and I’m supposed to be on the bus, experiencing what it’s like to be a junior B hockey player for a weekend. When the bus departs a little more than an hour later, life in the Kootenay

International Junior Hockey League is more or less what I expected. Players recline on foamies under seats and across aisles, heading back to sleep for the six-hour trip to Red Mountain Resort in Rossland. Addison Bazian has even rigged up a set of bunk beds, using a piece of plywood to make a bed out of a shelf at the back of the bus. A half-hour down the highway and the bus is again silent. Most players sleep. Some, including the coaches, watch movies. The trip to Rossland is quiet and most of the team sleeps for the entire duration. Bus

driver Rob Shmoorkoff remarks the team is lucky to be making its Kootenays trip now. Any later in the year and road conditions would leave something to be desired. The team has travelled before in those conditions and, while the players are oblivious to it as they ride in the back, things

can get a bit hairy as Shmoorkoff tries to shepherd the players safely through the night. The Storm’s accommodations in Rossland are posh by most standards, including the team’s. With the skiing season yet to have started, the club scored a deal on hillside con-

dos in the southern B.C. town and is living the life this weekend. The players and coaches have separate living units, but they spend much of their time together. Pre-game meals, all prepared by head coach Ed Patterson and assistant coach Kyle Panasuk, bring the club together

three times a day and are a chaotic scene. As the coaches prepare enough food to feed more than 20 teenaged hockey players, the Storm grab at whatever is available, heaping their plates with salads and sandwiches, breakfast food and pastas. This team eats well on the road, but it’s no simple task getting it prepared. A ham, two boxes of sausages, four dozen eggs, a few cases of Eggo waffles, giant bags of pasta, tupperwares of salads and

Storm business-like when on the road From page A15

As much time as the team has at the accommodations to eat, visit and nap, they spend nearly as many hours on the bus. Rossland is an hour or more from all the team’s games on this weekend — Castlegar to face the Rebels, Fruitvale to face the Beaver Valley Nitehawks and Grand Forks to face the Border Bruins. Between morning skates and trips to and from games, Shmoorkoff certainly earns his paycheque. But, riding the bus doesn’t seem to be an inconvenience to any

of the players, even if it’s not exactly glamourous. Players talk and play games, blast music from the vehicle’s stereo system or catch a nap. From time to time, it doesn’t exactly smell good on the charter, but that comes with the territory. Despite the fact the Storm spends more than 20 of 72 hours on the road in the bus, travelling back and forth to rinks and towns, the boys seem happy. And, being on the road seems to agree with the club. They pick up six of a possible six points on the weekend, defeating Castlegar

and Grand Forks in overtime and last year’s opponents in the KIJHL

championship final, the Nitehawks, in regulation.

After each game, the bus celebrations are everything I expected

— cheering and music, smiles and laughter. As the team pulls past each opponent’s dressing room on the way back to Red Mountain, Shmoorkoff honks the bus’s horn once for every goal the team scored, the boys screaming each one out. Once the team returns from each outing, they eat together before going their separate ways. Players go to their condos to relax, have a hot tub, watch some TV, get some sleep. In a few hours, they’ll have to do it all over again. Though the way the

team celebrates might give a different impression, this is a club here to work. The coaches regularly remind the players they’re here to play hockey, to pick up points and to not simply have fun on the road. During down time, Patterson and Panasuk analyze game film and chart lineups, make plans for upcoming games and discuss the play of their roster. The team practises on Saturday, Nov. 15, in Fruitvale and their head coach doesn’t go easy on them. See ROAD, page A20

Slumping Blazers to clash with rival Winterhawks

Captain Matt Needham, his Kamloops Blazers winless in seven games, is nowhere near ready to hit the panic button. “Honestly, it doesn’t feel like we’ve lost seven in a row,” said Needham, who centres the Blazers’ top line, playing between Cole Ully and Deven Sideroff. “We’ve got points in three of those games and been pretty close in a lot of them. “You definitely want to win but, right now, it’s about the process.” Sideroff scored in the last second of the third period to force overtime and earn a point for Kamloops against the hometown Everett Silvertips on Saturday, Nov. 15. Everett won 3-2 in a wild, 15-round shootout, with both of the Tips’ goals in the breakaway marathon coming from Tournament Capital products Carter Cochrane and Kevin Davis. There were no goals in the shootout for 12 rounds, but Blazer D-man Michael Fora broke the deadlock with a sleek deke in Round 13. Cochrane kept his team alive, matching Fora’s marker, and Davis ended it two rounds later. Both Connor Ingram, who stopped 21 shots for the Blazers in a losing effort, and Austin Lotz, who made 30 saves in the vic10.375" X 2.857 tory, were excellent

between the pipes in the shootout. Kamloops was dominant in the second and third periods against the CHL’s eighth-ranked team, but was playing catchup after a poor start, with Everett racking up a 2-0 lead in the first period. Blazer forward Mike Winther cued the comeback with a power-play goal at 11:54 of the third period. Josh Connolly fired a shot on net with time winding down in the third and Sideroff banged home the rebound at 19:59, quieting the Comcast Arena crowd and lifting the Blazers’ bench to its feet. The Blue and Orange also started poorly

against the Spokane Chiefs on Friday at Interior Savings Centre, allowing three firstperiod goals in a 4-2 defeat. “That’s one thing we need to work on, is our starts,” Needham said. “When we were winning games early in the year, we’d get off to a hot start and be up three rather than down three.” Goaltender Cole Kehler was pulled after allowing three goals on 10 shots in the first period on Friday and replaced by Ingram, who stopped nine of 10 shots in relief. Jake Kryski and Matt Revel were Kamloops’ goal scorers.

After recording six wins in their first nine games, the Blazers have come back down to earth, posting a 2-5-1-2 record in their last 10. The River City’s WHL club will be eyeing a return to the win column tomorrow (Nov. 19), with Nic Petan and the resurgent Portland Winterhawks coming to town. Game time is 7 p.m. at ISC. Portland has bounced back from a dismal start to the campaign and is 6-3-0-1 in its last 10 games. The Winterhawks and Blazers last met in Portland on Nov. 8. Petan, who has 21 points in 16 games, scored in overtime to give his team a 4-3 victory. “They still have the high-powered offence, so we’ll have to play a solid defensive game and score when we have opportunities,” Needham said. “We’re doing things the right way and it’s going to pay off soon. That’s the mood in the room.”

Handball teams attend B.C. Cup Kamloops handballers learned the hard way at the annual B.C. Cup in Richmond on the weekend. The River City’s men’s team lost four straight matches — to San Francisco, Portland, Vancouver and Seattle — and finished sixth at the tournament. “We worked hard and at times played some very good handball,” Kamloops Handball Club president Peter Hilton said. “But, in the end, the other teams were just too strong. “On the positive side, we were competitive in every match, but we simply had a hard time scoring goals.” Flo Simon led the Kamloops men in scoring and goalie Devon Squibb made an outstanding save on a penalty shot. Women from

Kamloops and Seattle combined to form a team at the tournament. The mixed squad lost three matches, twice to San Francisco and once to Vancouver, and placed third. “The women played well and were unlucky not to win a match, losing two games by just two goals,” Hilton said. Robyn Samborsky of Kamloops led the team in goals. Emily Hilton, Peter’s daughter, was unable to play for Kamloops due to commitments at the University of Calgary.

WolfPackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roller-coaster weekend

Kaitlin Lomas of the TRU WolfPack celebrates a block against the Winnipeg Wesmen in Canada West volleyball action at the Tournament Capital Centre on Saturday, Nov. 15. TRUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball women earned a weekend split â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so did each of their CIS counterparts.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

It was an upand-down weekend for each of the TRU WolfPackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian Interuniversity Sport basketball and volleyball teams. The WolfPack menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball teams earned splits against the visiting Winnipeg Wesmen at the Tournament Capital Centre, while the male and female basketball squads halved games against the MacEwan Griffins in Edmonton. TRUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball men (4-8) were swept in three sets by Winnipeg on Friday, Nov. 14, before bouncing back with a 3-1 victory on Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the guys were looser and expecting more opposition,â&#x20AC;? Pack head coach Pat Hennelly said after the match on Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what happened on Friday. We had a good crowd last night and had another good one tonight. Maybe we need to relax. We all know the importance of the games.â&#x20AC;? The WolfPack women (6-6) went five sets with the Wesmen both nights, with the visitors coming out on top on Friday and TRU posting the win on Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a carbon copy of Friday,â&#x20AC;? WolfPack head coach Chad Grimm said on Saturday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just reversed

ÂŁ

roles. Winnipeg won the first two last night and we battled back to force it to five. Tonight, it was their turn. It was nice to be on the other side.â&#x20AC;? Both volleyball teams will be in Winnipeg this weekend for matches against the Manitoba Bisons. On the hardcourt, Keith Gerdes of MacEwan sunk TRU on Saturday with a buzzer beater, lifting the Griffins to a 65-63 victory. The WolfPack topped the Griffins 77-67 on Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A split on the road is something you always want to achieve in league play,â&#x20AC;? said WolfPack head coach Scott Clark, whose charges are 3-1 on the campaign. In womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play, MacEwan edged TRU 58-53 on Friday, but the WolfPack (3-1) recovered with a 75-64 victory on Saturday. Canada West basketball returns to the Tournament Capital Centre this weekend, with the Fraser Valley Cascades set to play TRU on Friday, Nov. 21, and Saturday, Nov. 22. The women get underway at 6 p.m. on Friday and the men follow at 8 p.m. On Saturday, game times are 5 p.m. for the women and 7 p.m. for the men. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with files from TRU sports information

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Ajax Mine Project

Public Comment Period and Information Sessions KGHM Ajax Mining Inc. is proposing the construction and operation of the Ajax Mine Project, a copper-gold mine located near the city of Kamloops, British Columbia (B.C). The Project has an expected mine life of up to 23 years with a production capacity of approximately 60,000 tonnes of mineral ore per day. The Ajax Mine Project is subject to review under both the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Act and is undergoing a cooperative environmental assessment. Public Comment Period The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (the Agency) and B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) are inviting the public to comment on revisions to the environmental assessment information requirements that result from changes to the mine plan for the Ajax Mine Project. The Agency and the EAO have recently revised the Application Information Requirements / Environmental Impact Statement Guidelines (AIR / EIS Guidelines) to reflect the proponent’s changes to the layout and design of the project. The AIR / EIS Guidelines provide direction regarding the studies, methods and information the proponent is required to include in the preparation of its Application / EIS document. The proponent’s Application / EIS will describe the new project design and layout, and provide the assessment results for the potential environmental, heritage, health, social, and economic effects of all phases of the project. The revised AIR / EIS Guidelines document is available online on the EAO’s website at www.eao.gov.bc.ca. The revised AIR / EIS Guidelines and a summary of the document will be available on the Agency’s website, www.ceaa-acee.gc.ca, as of November 18, 2014. Additional information regarding the environmental assessment process for the Project is available on either website. The public comment period is from November 18, 2014 to December 18, 2014. The Agency and the EAO accept public comments during that time submitted by any of the following means:

Participants will also have the opportunity to learn about the steps of the cooperative environmental assessment process. Next Steps The comments received during the comment period on the revised AIR / EIS Guidelines will be considered in the ongoing provincial and federal environmental assessments of the Ajax Mine Project, and will also be considered in finalizing the revised AIR / EIS Guidelines document.

SPORTS 11:30 p.m.: As the bus pulls “back into Red Mountain Resort, two black bears run across the road. One climbs a tree. Not many of the players have seen bears from that close before and they’re excited to see it. It’s a reminder that the Kamloops Storm are really just kids at heart.

” ROAD BUILDS SPECIAL BONDS BETWEEN PLAYERS

From page A16

The coaches talk into the night each evening, the club nearly always the topic of conversation. No matter what the team experiences on the road, they get through it together, which might be the difference between this Storm club and those of years past. Veterans and coaches alike agree — this team is closer than almost any that have come before. At one point, as the team travels to its game against the Nitehawks, Panasuk and Patterson reminisce about the defeat they were handed in Game 6 of the KIJHL championship final by Beaver Valley the season before. The 2013-2014 Storm was a talented team, but it also had its problems. A heavy veteran presence came with some in-fighting and conflicting personalities, players whose attitudes didn’t exactly align with the culture the team was trying to establish. This year, though,

that’s far from the case. The team is tight and vets like Ian Chrystal say they’re loving life, enjoying being a part of this team. Winning also helps. After three games and three victories, again on the bus and this time travelling back to Kamloops, the mood of the team is light. Despite it being late, most players stay awake for the duration of the drive, playing games and watching movies, chatting and singing along to the music that blasts out of the bus’s speakers. If I’ve learned anything from my weekend with the Storm, being on the road builds a special bond between these players. Life in the KIJHL might not be glamorous, but the team has fun nonetheless and they get through it together. At the end of the day, as the team pulls back into Kamloops with 23 of its 52 regular season games in the books, these boys are more than just a team — they’re a family.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Nucks spanked THE CANADIAN PRESS

er Travis Lulay into the game, but Benevides said following a warmup Lulay didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel physically right. Lulay has missed 20 of B.Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 21 games the last two seasons with a right shoulder ailment. The Lions added him to their 46-man roster last week, hoping he might be able to play, if needed, against Montreal. Partridge finished 7-of-11 passing for 38 yards and two TDs. While the Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offence managed just 249 total yards, a defence that surrendered a league-low 24 TDs was shredded for 215 rushing yards and four touchdowns. It was an abysmal ending for B.C., which dropped six of its last eight game and was outscored 120-36 over its last three contests, all losses. The Lions also continued their playoff misery against Montreal. The last time they faced the Alouettes in the post-season they dropped a 56-18 decision in 2009. The lopsided loss will put Benevides on the hot seat despite having two years remaining on his current deal. But, Elimimian came to the defence of his embattled head coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day, I love coach Benevides and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to play for him and, in my eyes, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great coach,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Elimimian said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Individually, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel guys played to where we needed to play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scheme is one thing, but you need to execute and you have to line up man against your man and win the individual battles. Every year, win or lose, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be changes roster-wise, so we have to look within ourselves individually. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really do because, at the end of the day, players play. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do a good job.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

VANCOUVER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Vancouver Canucks returned to earth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a resounding thud â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on Friday (Nov. 14) night. Martin Hanzal recorded a hat trick, including two goals only nine seconds apart, as the Arizona Coyotes stunned the Canucks 5-0 before a disappointed crowd of 18,708 at Rogers Arena. The Canucks will look to bounce back tomorrow (Nov. 19) against the hometown Edmonton Oilers. Game time is 5 p.m. After entering the game on Friday tied for second overall, Vancouver (12-6-0) took only its third loss in the past 11 games. But, the one-sided setback was a clear sign the Canucks canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to get too excited about their recent success as they attempt to atone for missing the playoffs last season for the first time since 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we were hungry enough,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Vancouver head coach Willie Desjardins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played OK, but OK doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win you any games in this league.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Coyotes (7-9-1), who entered the game last in the Western Conference and 28th

overall in the NHL, ended their losing streak at three games. Meanwhile, Dave Tippett recorded his 200th NHL career coaching win. Vancouver goaltender Ryan Miller allowed four goals on 13 shots in the first two periods. Arizona goaltender Devan Dubnyk, a former Kamloops Blazer, made 35 saves in the victory.

MONTREAL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Solomon Elimimian wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to fully enjoy his record-setting 2014 season. The B.C. Lions linebacker is a finalist for the CFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstanding player award after registering a league-record 143 tackles. But Elimimian called his season â&#x20AC;&#x153;a failureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; following his clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lopsided 50-17 loss to the Montreal Alouettes in the East Division semifinal on Sunday, Nov. 16, at Molson Stadium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Man, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got six months of regrets,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said a downcast Elimimian, who had a game-high 10 tackles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What ruined it for me was my No. 1 goal was to win the Grey Cup, so everything else is a failure in my eyes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These individual accolades, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enjoy. I really canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, man, because I want to share something special with these guys. We said the first day of June that we wanted to win the Grey Cup. Me getting tackles, that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t part of it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Montreal put the game away in the third quarter, opening the second half with a nine-play, 79-yard march that Tanner Marsh capped with a two-yard TD run to put the home team ahead 22-3. On B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next possession, Alouettes linebacker intercepted Kevin Glenn, setting up a five-play, 60-yard drive that ended with Brandon Rutleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four-yard touchdown run for a 29-3 advantage. Marsh added a one-yard TD run later in the third for a 36-3 Montreal lead and the rout was on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The third quarter was disastrous,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lions head coach Mike Benevides said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a 12-point half-time score but, once the second half started, it went downhill and we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recover.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Glenn was just 6-of-18 passing for 64 yards and two interceptions (for a -1.6 passer rating) before being replaced in the second half by youngster Travis Partridge.

SNOWBIRD REPORT Tips for retirees travelling abroad Men and women often dream of jetsetting around the world when they retire. Travelling the globe without worrying about timelines or whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on back at the office is some-

thing many retirees reward themselves with after a life of hard work. As liberating as world travel can be, retirees still must exercise caution when travelling abroad. The following are

tact them via phone call, email or Skype at least once per week for the duration of your trip. This is a good way to share your experiences and help your relatives rest easy knowing that you are safe. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t store all of your important documents in one place. When travelling overseas, it can be convenient to keep important items like travelerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheques, credit cards, passports and identification in one place. However, storing all of your sensitive documents or financial items in one place is very risky, as a lost or stolen bag can leave you without identification or access to your funds. When travelling, couples should carry their own passports on their persons and split up credit cards and travellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheques. This way you still have access to your funds, and one of you still has identification should items be lost or stolen. Do your homework. Unplanned day

a few safety tips for retirees who are ready to make their dream retirements a reality by setting off for parts unknown. Stay in touch. Escapism is a big part of the attraction of travel for travellers young and old. But while you may want to avoid contact with the outside world on your travels, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still necessary to stay in touch with your loved ones. Retirees who plan to take extended trips overseas should purchase an international mobile phone plan that allows them to use their phones regardless of what country they happen to be in. A quick text message to a son or daughter back home is all it takes to let your family know you are safe and having the time of your life. Work out a communication plan with your loved ones back home before departing, agreeing to con-

trips are common among travelers who have been travelling for long periods of time. While such jaunts can add an element of spontaneity to a trip, they also can be quite dangerous if travellers have not done their homework on a particular destination. You do not want to end up in a place where tourists are not welcome or are frequent targets of criminals. In addition, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to visit a city or town and know nothing of its customs or etiquette. For example, locals may react negatively to visitors who have ignored accepted local standards for attire. You can still make spontaneous trips, but make sure you gather some background information, be it from the Internet, locals where you are currently staying or the hotel concierge, on a given locale and its customs before visiting. Make sure your health will not be compromised. Retirees cannot travel in the same

www.kamloopsthisweek.com

manner they did in the carefree days of their youth. Before travelling abroad, visit your physician and get a full physical. Refill any medications you will need during your trip and speak with your physician about how to handle any medical emergencies while overseas. Carry your physicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name and telephone number with you at all times, so local medical professionals can contact him or her should you experience a medical emergency. Once you have arrived at your destination, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that you continue to prioritize your health. Make sure the water is safe to drink before taking a sip, and investigate local cuisine to ensure it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t inflame any existing medical conditions you may have. The quality of medical care varies greatly across the globe, so you must prioritize your health whenever leaving the country and avoid anything that might put your health in jeopardy.

Travel with friends or family if possible. If you have friends or family who also are retirees with time on their hands, organize a group trip abroad. Groups are less likely to be targeted by criminals than couples. Overseas trips with friends or family members can make trips overseas that much more memorable and enjoyable. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;newscanada.com

t was time to write the Mazda6 review. It should have been easy enough when you consider this svelte and dynamic, well-designed and nearly perfected iteration of the mid-size sedan, seen in the accompanying photos in a scintillating shade of Soul Red Mica. This third generation vehicle was reborn in renewed form just last year with enough new design changes, enough tech refinements and enough dynamic improvements to blow away the competition, earning 2014 AJAC Canadian Car of the Year honours along with a slew of other awards. The trouble with writing any car review, however, is that simply lifting the lid of my laptop opens a Pandora’s

box of digital distractions, Checking the latest emails, transferring online bank balances, downloading this, Facebooking that, bopping back and forth and, before you know it, hours have passed and I’m somehow reading on-line lectures about manatee migrations instead of studying Mazda modifications. Distractions are the enemy of achievement and (here’s my segue) I think if we stretch the analogy, we can even find automotive examples. Take car engines, for instance, which were designed simply to move vehicles from A to B. But while those motors are already fighting friction, load and aerodynamic drag, they have also been encumbered ever more with the auxiliary distractions of water

pumps, power steering, power braking and electrical generation used for lighting, instrumentation, infotainment, heated seats, HVAC and all our other expected comforts. Engineers categorize this power-sapping conundrum under the title of “parasitic drag”. All car companies are tackling these challenges by reducing weight wherever possible and improving aerodynamic and engine efficiencies. Mazda has grouped their holistic approach under the combined umbrella term “Skyactiv Technology”, a mix of performance-oriented, fuel-saving engine, transmission, body and chassis modifications. Last year’s 2014 Mazda6 was the third vehicle in the corporate lineup to be revamped with a long list of Skyactiv improvements, following earlier progressive steps altering

the 2012 Mazda3 and the 2013 CX-5. With its name derived from “Intelligent Energy Loop,” i-Eloop closes the break in the energy loop with the world’s first capacitor-based brake-energy regeneration system. The i-Eloop system was designed to power all the electrical mechanisms in a vehicle. Regenerative braking systems recover a vehicle’s kinetic energy to power electrical components and i-Eloop avoids the need of the dedicated electrical motor and battery combo used in hybrid vehicles, substituting instead, a capacitor that is lighter and more efficient at recovering varying voltages of electricity. Capacitors have the ability to charge and discharge more rapidly than batteries. They are also more resistant to deterioration, despite prolonged

The Mazda6 GT tested here is normally rated at an already impressive 8.8/6.1L/100km (city/ hwy). Adding the i-Eloop system tweaks the fuel efficiency rating to 8.4/5.9L/100km (city/ hwy). My real world results after 500 km of mixed driving worked out to 7.6L/100km (comb). The Mazda6 comes in three trim levels - GX ($24,495), GS ($27,495) and GT ($32,295). The automatic transmission adds $1,300 to the GX trim price but is a no-cost option on GS and GT trim levels.

BART CUMMINS PHOTO/ SPECIAL TO KTW Left to right: Mary Agnes, played by Maddison Hartloff; April, played by Krystine Lucas; and Caroline, played by Emily Thibert, are trying to find their places in the New York City workforce in a new play by Actors Workshop Theatre called The Best of Everything. It will be shown at TRUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Black Box Theatre this week and next.

women could be editors. I thought we would just be secretaries.

â&#x20AC;?

efore Rona Jaffe was an acclaimed author, she spent her days in the late 1950s editing books for the American book company Fawcett Publications. Interestingly, just as the company Wilford Fawcett created was based on his own exploits in the U.S. Army and its Stars and Stripes publication, Jaffeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career took flight when she looked around and saw fodder for the book that launched her career in 1958 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Best of Everything. Set in a publishing firm, the book chronicles three women trying to find their place in the world, landing in a workplace in New York City replete with drunk name-droppers, married men

who flaunt their affairs and the societal belief at the time women only got jobs to find a husband. Robin Nichol is directing the theatrical version of Jaffeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play by Actors Workshop Theatre. She said she chose the play, which opens at the Black Box Theatre at the Thompson Rivers University Campus on Thursday, Nov. 20, because it fit with her casting reality: The program has a large percentage of female students this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and, at the end of the production, the message is the story may be from the 1950s, but a lot of what drives it still resonates today. Nichol references one bit of dialogue to make her point on the relevance of the work today, when one of the women observes â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think women could be editors. I thought we would just be secretaries.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found it more and more clever as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked on it,â&#x20AC;? Nichol said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real feminist message in it about women and the societal expectations and their own expectations.â&#x20AC;? Another part of her enjoyment working with her students as they rehearse the play is the period aspect, with great costumes, hair and music. The play, which is closer to Jaffeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book than it is to the 1959 movie that starred Hope Lange, Suzy Parker and Diane Baker, has many light moments along with the messages, Nichol said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I read it,â&#x20AC;? Nichol said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize the opportunities for it to get a bit cheesy, a bit campy.â&#x20AC;? In fact, the Christmas party is its own moment of humour, albeit somewhat cutting. The play runs from Thursday, Nov. 20, to Saturday, Nov. 22, and from Nov. 27 to Nov. 29 at the university. Stage lights go up at 7:30 p.m. There is also an 11:30 a.m. matinee on Nov. 28. Tickets are $14 and are available at the campus box office at the theatre in the Old Main Building or at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483 or online at kamloopslive.ca.

Nature from a golf cart JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

GORDON GORE PHOTOS Gordon Gore tracked ospreys with his camera at The Dunes at Kamloops Golf Club over the summer and will be showing his photos during a free event at Big Little Science Centre, 655 Holt St., on Saturday, Nov. 22.

ordon Gore had a beautiful sum-

mer. The retired teacher and founder of Big Little Science Centre rode his power wheelchair from his home at the Hamlets, about 20 minutes down the road to the Dunes Golf Course, where he hopped into a golf cart and bee-lined it for the 16th hole. Instead of head-

ing for the tee box, he made his way to a large pond to the right of the fairway on the par-5, 268-yard hole. His equipment did not include a wedge or a hybrid. “Bill Bilton stocks the ponds with fish,” Gore said of The Dunes owner. “The Dunes is like the wildlife park in the summer.” Gore spent six months taking thousands of photographs of wildlife at the golf course near his home in Westsyde and has since compiled some of the pictures into a

personal book he’s had printed for gifts. All sorts of animals inhabit the area among the sand traps and the water hazards. Gore took pictures of deer, ducks and birds of all kinds — but one species evaded him. “I didn’t get a beaver,” he said. “I tried.” Notably, he tracked a family of ospreys at their nest. “Sometimes I stayed there for two-and-ahalf to three hours to get one picture,” he said. Gore founded Big

Little Science Centre 14 years ago. He has seen it change locations three times, to its current location at 655 Holt St. He has taken on a lesser role post-retirement, popping into the centre to see what’s going on. He will present a slideshow of his talk about his experience over the summer during a free presentation called Nature Studies from a Golf Cart, to be held at the centre on Saturday, Nov. 22, at 10:30 a.m. For more information, go to blscs.org.

ò Obituaries & In Memoriam ô JIM HAYWOOD-FARMER

March 7, 1948 – November 14, 2014

JESSICA ANN MCGILVERY

Feb. 17, 1989 - Nov. 12, 2014 FORTHRIGHT ATTITUDE SPECIAL FRIEND ONE OF THE BEST AMAZING BROTHER SENSE OF HUMOUR TRULY A PLEASURE TO KNOW POSITIVE INSPIRATIONAL GUIDANCE CONVICTION TO HIS FAMILY TRUE SINCERITY

These words are quotes from family of friends that Jim had in his life. Jim was born in Kamloops, BC on March 7, 1948. He passed away peacefully at Kamloops Hospice Association on November 14, 2014 with his family by his side. Jim leaves in his cherished memory, his loving wife of 45 years, Elaine, daughter, Lori and sons, Clint (Christa) Ty and Kate, Andy (Terri) Elly and Clay, mother, Peggy, sisters, Gerry, Pat (Keith), Shelley (Brad) and brother, David (Bonnie) and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles. Jim was predeceased by his father George and brother-in-law, Wayne. Jim came from a long time ranching family. He was extraordinary in his knowledge of range management and had been heard to say, “look after the grass, and it will look after you”. He had great diligence at managing cattle on the range and frowned upon anyone leaving one animal behind. Jim was well known for the many excellent dogs he had raised. He always said one dog takes the place of three men and they don’t talk back. Jim was an active father; coaching ball teams, 4H, and many other sports his children were involved in. He took the grandchildren out to pick the first Buttercups, Johnny Jump Ups, and Shooting Stars and knew where to find the biggest and the best. Jim was always game to go fishing and made it an adventure. Jim will be greatly missed by family and friends. Celebration to be held at Savona Community Hall on November 22, 2014 at 1:00pm. Should friends desire, donations can be made to Kamloops Hospice Association.

BRENDA BLUNDELL Brenda Lee (nee MacKenzie) passed away quietly with dignity, Thursday, November 6, 2014 in Kamloops, BC. Survived by her loving devoted husband of 47 years, Gordon, daughter Michelle, son Steve (Tammy), and her cherished grandchildren, Theron, Kylie, Rhys and Haley. She also leaves behind her step-mother Anne MacKenzie, brothers Gary (Bernie) and Randy (Fiona), and her nieces and nephews, Erin, Jason (Pam), Ryan, Madison, Barry and Joanna. Brenda was predeceased by her father, Don MacKenzie, her mother Mabel MacKenzie, Gordon’s mother Elma and her own special family, Lillian and Russell Greenall. Brenda was a proud person from humble upbringings. She was an army brat and lived in many places ending up in Merritt where she made life long friendships and met the man that would become her husband and soul mate, Gordie. Together it was their mission to raise a family of two, as she would say, “So other people could stand them”. Brenda loved to see her family succeed. In the kid’s sports and hobbies, you could always see her glowing as she watched. She supported Gordie through his work career and was well respected and successful in her chosen field as a real estate agent for 20 plus years. The battle with cancer began 25 years ago. She fought long and hard. Her openness in fighting this dreaded disease gave inspiration, insight and most of all, hope to others. Brenda’s spirit could never be broken. During her tenacious battle, Brenda volunteered with many organizations. Her favorites included Soroptomist International, which she represented on an exchange to Japan, and of course the Cancer Society which she was part of their annual Daffodil campaign. Because Brenda was so kind, generous and sincere, she attracted people of similar qualities. Some families that held a special place in her heart as well as her families include The Otterman’s, Roblin’s, Hayne’s, Long’s and Robert’s. There are many, many more that enjoyed their time with Brenda and will have great memories moving forward. There will be a gathering to celebrate Brenda’s beautiful life on Friday, November 21, 2014 at St. Paul’s Parish Hall, located 360 Nicola Street at 2:00pm. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society in Brenda’s memory would be appreciated. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com (250) 554-2577

IVY SHORT

Rest in Peace Jess, our hearts are broken. Condolences may be sent c/o Paulette6162@gmail.com

1941-2014

Ivy Short (nee Henderson) was born November 29, 1928 in Glasgow, Scotland, the youngest of fourteen children to Thomas and Elizabeth Henderson. Ivy passed away peacefully at sunrise on November 11, 2014 at Ridgeview Lodge in Kamloops, BC. Ivy is survived by her three daughters, Elizabeth Folk (Rick), Eleanor Clovechok and Karen Short (Tim Smith), and her beloved grandchildren Kevin Folk (Kate), Andrea Folk and Kelsey Clovechok, as well as many nieces and nephews.

Suddenly in Stoney Plains Alberta, Jessica soared like an eagle to her final resting place. Left to cherish and mourn her forever are her heart mother Cheryl McGilvery AB, birth mother Colleen McGilvery AB, Aunt Kim May and family AB, Grandparents Pat and Betty McGilvery Squamish, and Paulette (McGilvery) Gagnon Kamloops and numerous cousins and extended family.

BARRY GOOD

Ivy grew up in Glasgow during World War II, and left school at fourteen to work in the accounting department of a distillery. Bookkeeping became her vocation, both in Glasgow and Kamloops, where she retired from Fulton & Company in 1980. Growing up her passions were singing, tennis and dancing. This led Ivy to meeting her dance partner for life, Jim Short, at a dance hall in 1951. Married in 1953, they started a family in 1956 with the arrival of twins, Elizabeth and Eleanor. Ivy and Jim sought a better life for their family, and immigrated to Kamloops in 1966, where their youngest daughter Karen was born in 1969. Ivy worked at Barton Black and Robertson, Royal Inland Hospital and Fulton & Company until her retirement in 1980. Although she battled rheumatoid arthritis for 35 years, her spirit and will was indefatigable. Ivy was well known as a versatile singer, joining many local bands to play at dances at the Legion, the Elks and other halls. She also volunteered many afternoons entertaining at local nursing homes with “The Good Time Boys” and Ruth Summers Katz, and was a founding member of the Kamloops Swing and Jazz Society. A trivia master, Ivy will be remembered for her sharp mind, quick wit and kind and generous nature. She loved people and took a sincere interest in their lives.

It is with sadness we announce the passing of Barry Good on November 9, 2014. He is survived by his wife Sharron, son Kent (Marilyn), brother Keith (Jan), sisters Darlene and Lorraine, grandchildren Cortney (Blake), Andrew and Tyesha, greatgrandchildren Hope, Haley and Jaxson and son-in-law Jack as well as many other nieces, nephews and in-laws too numerous to mention. Barry was predeceased by his parents Garth and Ariana and daughter Tracy.

A celebration of Ivy’s life will take place on Saturday November 22, 2014 at 1:00pm, at Schoening Funeral Home.

Barry was an avid fisherman; he spent many summers camping at the lake with family and friends.

Should friends desire, donations to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation in Ivy’s memory would be greatly appreciated.

Rest in peace, finally free of pain.

The family is especially thankful for the compassionate care shown to Mum by her devoted niece Catherine Henderson, and the staff of Ponderosa Lodge, Ridgeview Lodge and Dr. Howie.

July 7, 1943 - November 11, 2014 Roland was born in Haarlem, the Netherlands on July 7, 1943. As a youth he dedicated much of his time to the sport of water polo. He later became a coach of the sport. From coaching he made a natural transition into a new passion and a life long career as a physiotherapist. In 1988 Roland closed his physio practice in the Netherlands and immigrated to Canada with his wife and two boys. Upon arrival he took a position at Royal Inland Hospital as a physiotherapist and was invited to be part of the team that brought the Canada Games to Kamloops in 1993. Roland spent almost 20 years devoted to his work, patients and colleagues at RIH before retiring. On Remembrance Day of this year Roland crossed over peacefully with his wife of 39 years holding his hand. The family would like to thank the many doctors and caregivers that attended to Roland and kept him healthy long enough to meet and get to know his granddaughter. And a special thanks to the Kamloops Hospice for taking such good care of all of us during his final days. He will be lovingly remembered by his family, his wife Evelyn. Jorrit, Emely and Sophia. Okke.

As per his wishes there will be no formal service.

Mom was raised in a family of 13 on a homestead in Saskatchewan and a farm at Reid Lake, B.C. Focus was on family first. She kept an immaculate home and enjoyed cooking, baking and caring for family. She was raised in a musical family and seldom sat out a dance. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were so special to her. Their pictures lit up each room in her little place. Her final days were punctuated by family, laughter and conversation. She enjoyed her life as a wife, mom, “Grans” and “G.G.” The family would like to thank Dr. Miranda du Preez, Debra Rose, the staff at Royal Inland Hospital, and the staff at Berwick on the Park, for her exceptional care.

THANK YOU To the family and many friends of the late Muriel June Ivens (nee McLeod), we wish to extend our sincere thanks for your many kindnesses, and for the condolences and support that we have received. We also send our gratitude and appreciation to Dr. DeKock and all the staff at Interior Health, Ponderosa Lodge as well as The Kamloops Senior Village.

They lived in many places in Manitoba before moving to Kamloops in 1964. She owned and operated woman’s clothing stores for many years in Kamloops. She was a member of the Kamloops Lady Lions Club. Betty loved to play bridge, scrabble, do crosswords, and she also enjoyed cruising and the occasional casino visit. She travelled to many places, including Mexico, Las Vegas, Reno, Australia, Hong Kong, Hawaii, Saudi Arabia, and all many countries in Europe. When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me, I want no tears or gloom-filled room Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little - but not too long, And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we all shared, Miss me - but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take, And each must go alone It’s all part of the Master’s plan A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart See family and friends we know Take time to heal, tho’ we must part Miss me - but let me go. ~ Author Unknown

At Betty’s request there will be no service, and a family gathering will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, anyone wishing to do so may donate in Betty’s memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Pennies From Heaven 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; Oh, how I loved that story. He said when an angel misses you, They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up, Make a smile out of your frown So don’t pass by that penny, When you’re feeling blue It may be a penny from heaven That an angel tossed to you.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Being hot then cold is sometimes the Gemini way. Shifting feelings and being mercurial is just how you’re made, and those who call you friend will have to adapt.

Scorpio, make some changes to your fitness routine this week so you don’t find yourself in a fitness funk. Switch the yoga mat for some cardio and vice versa.

Sagittarius, if you are feeling a bit bored by your relationship, take the initiative to stir things up a bit. Go to a concert or plan a short jaunt to a tropical locale.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Leo, be genuine and speak from the heart this week.Your compassion for other people’s feelings will help a dear friend who will be grateful and appreciative of your kindness.

Do not judge a book by its cover,Virgo.That person you have been checking out is entirely different from what you first imagined. It’s time to delve deeper.

The element of surprise can work well for your love life this week, Libra. Do something unexpected, and you and your significant other will be happy with the results.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

Cancer, you are full of ideas this week and you can put them to good use by being as vocal as you can at work. Suggest a brainstorming session with other employees.

A39

Nov 18 - Nov 24, 2014 LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Now is not the time to keep your feelings under wraps,Taurus. If you have an opinion, share it. Fortunately there are plenty of people willing to lend you an ear.

Put your vitality and conspicuous nature to good use,Aries.Volunteer for a cause or donate your time to a worthy organization. Expect others to follow your lead.

FRANK & ERNEST

Someone you know may have gotten in over his or her head and can probably use your help right now, Capricorn. Help this person come up with some solutions to the problem.

Aquarius, shake up your routine and you may be surprised by how much you enjoy the changes. In fact, you just may look at everything from an entirely new perspective.

Pisces, though you cannot afford that especially pricey treat you’ve had your eyes on, you can afford something a little more modest.
