IT’S TIME TO BRING SOME CHEER

AS OF DEC. 1, KTW CHRISTMAS CHEER FUND IS OPEN FOR DONATIONS DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

here is snow falling atop KTW’s website.

There’s a penguin riding a sleigh — likely the one Santa is bringing to town for tomorrow’s annual wake-up and parade.

The staff at the front desk of the office here on Dalhousie Drive have recording sheets, envelopes and labels nearby and, if you take the time to click on that snowy penguin-riding scene online, you’ll magically arrive at the first Kamloops This Week Christmas Cheer Fund Internet donation site.

It’s my task to assume the Christmas elf role played for the past dozen years by Gregg Drinnan, bringing all those warm stories to each of you as we watch the fund that will support four local charities grow.

It was a no-brainer here at KTW to continue the fundraiser this year after the closure of the Kamloops Daily News, home to the annual campaign, which collected $667,714.68 for charities in the city.

This year, the committee charged with choosing the beneficiaries opted for three wellknown agencies — the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter, the New Life Mission and the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House. New to the list this year is Sensational Soups, a program at Mount Paul United Church that provides twice-weekly lunches for the needy.

It’s a little-known program, having existed for fewer than two years, staffed completely by volunteers and running on nothing more than determination and donations.

The volunteers who keep it cooking get out the pots and pans and the cutting boards and knives every Tuesday and Thursday at about 8 a.m., preparing soups, sandwiches and salads that will be fed to upwards of 150 people. many of whom are homeless and virtually all of whom live at or below the poverty line.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Sharing their expertise in making Sensational Soups the success it is, Delores Owen (left) and Linda Zumwalt serve up a bowl of comfort at Mt. Paul United Church to those in the community needing a hot meal.

Over at the Y shelter, similar numbers are reflected in its statistics.

Last year, for example, it had more than 700 referrals but, because of limited resources, could not provide services to everyone.

The shelter did provide safe, supported residential services to more than 300 women and children and, in total, its beds were slept in more than 4,600 times.

Another 450 women received non-residential support — a welcoming shoulder, someone to talk to on the phone or a voice that was there when needed.

By the end of September this year, there had been 440 referrals, 190 women and children had been given shelter, those same beds were slept in 5,085 times and 471 others reached out for help, but not housing.

At the mission on West Victoria Street, more than 40,000 hot meals were served, 1,218 appointments made at the mission’s dental clinic, countless tons of clothing, bedding and furniture was provided to help families and there were 530 sham-

poos and haircuts given.

Even now, mission staff members are getting ready to create a Dec. 24 Christmas dinner with all the trimmings for the needy.

At the hospice, the focus is not so much on the future, but on those passing from our numbers, having the chance to spend their last days in a home-like-setting of calm, peace, love and understanding as end-of-life care is provided.

Every dollar the hospice receives from the KTW Cheer Fund goes to buying medical supplies and equipment that are needed to ensure those final days with family and friends, perhaps a beloved pet, are the best they can be.

Now it’s up to Kamloops to again step up.

Beginning on Monday, Dec. 1, you can make a donation online by

clicking on that snowy, penguingliding scene at the top of kamloopsthisweek.com or you can come to our office at 1365B Dalhousie Dr. (across from the post office) and make a donation.

We’ve partnered with the United Way Thompson-Nicola-Cariboo for the website and for keeping tabs on donations.

To avoid any issues at the bank, please make out cheques to United Way-Christmas Cheer. And, for those who might want to bring in their nickels and dimes, we have volunteers who will roll coins for us.

Tax receipts will be issued through the United Way for donations over $10, a change from the past when the individual charities were tasked with sending out those receipts.

As in the past, KTW will publish a list of donors and donations, along with a running tally so we can all watch the KTW Christmas Cheer fund grow.

The campaign continues to the close of business at our office on Dec. 24.

Merry Christmas to you all.

Crown closes cross-examination CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Crown prosecutor accused a man on trial for killing his girlfriend with a machete of “finishing her off” with brutal blows to the head.

Yesterday (Nov. 27), prosecutor Iain Currie completed his crossexamination of Robert Balbar, who is on trial for second-degree murder in connection to the death of his girlfriend, Heather Hamill.

Her body was found in the North Thompson River on Aug. 1, 2003.

She had been bludgeoned to death with a blunt object.

A5

Earlier this week, Balbar, 42, admitted to killing Hamill during a drug-fuelled confrontation in late July 2003.

During cross-examination, Balbar continued to insist he killed Hamill after she threatened his son with the machete, pointing it as his head as he lay sleeping “I didn’t want anyone to die,” he told the 12-person jury. “I just wanted my son to be OK, for him to be safe,” he said.

The Crown is relying in part on a confession Balbar made to “Mr. Big” as part of an elaborate RCMP undercover operation that promised

money and sex in return for loyalty to a fictitious gang. Balbar was told by undercover operators they could make police “heat” go away, but he had to come clean with Mr. Big. Currie suggested to Balbar that he struck Hamill on the side of the face from behind, breaking her cheekbone.

“I suggest once you did that, you knew you were in big trouble,” Currie said at the close of his three-day crossexamination.

“You knew if Ms. Hamill reported it, you’d be in a great deal of trouble getting custody of your son.”

The Crown’s theory is that Balbar then took his hammer and struck her until she was dead.

“You did it for one reason and one reason only — to kill her,” Currie said.

“I didn’t want anyone to get killed,” Balbar responded.

The jury is scheduled to resume hearing evidence on Monday, Dec. 1, when a psychological expert will testify on behalf of the defence.

Balbar wasn’t arrested until more than four years after Hamill’s death, at the conclusion of the three-month undercover operation, in December 2007.

This is Balbar’s second murder trial.

The outcome of a previous trial was appealed and he was ordered last year to stand trial again.

DO I NEED A PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER? Fortunately, most people who are personally injured make a full recovery. However, when your physical and emotional pain does not go away, it’s critical to know your legal options. These options can change depending on the extent of the injuries, the party at fault, or if an insurance company is involved. This is where a personal injury lawyer can assist.

ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Members of the public didn’t see many changes on Wednesday, Nov. 26, during the latest open house on a planned widening of Columbia Street.

The $3.8-million project is slated for the summer of 2015 and will widen the roadway in order to add a series of left-turn lanes at Fourth, Fifth and Sixth avenues, as well as a double-turn lane at Third Avenue.

The project will mainly use a four-metre strip of land expropriated from the province on the south side of the street. The city must also acquire much smaller amounts of land from five private homeowners in the 600block of Columbia, a transaction not yet been finalized.

Also part of the upgrade package are two new left-turn lights — one for eastbound traffic at Fourth Avenue and another for northbound traffic at Sixth Avenue — a new traffic signal at Fifth Avenue and a sidewalk and bus pullout in front of Royal Inland Hospital.

It’s the latter city staff say is driving the construction of the project this year.

Streets and environmental supervisor Glen Farrow said the city wants to complete the work before crews at Royal Inland Hospital finish the new clinical-services building, slated for 2016.

Representatives from the hospital were on hand to reveal a mock-up of the new building and how it fits with the city’s plans

for Columbia.

Farrow said safety is the other main concern driving the project. “The amount of traffic that is getting congested in this area, we need to move that forward,� he said, noting cars turning left is one of the main sources of congestion on the roadway, a problem the city believes dedicated left-turn bays will solve.

At Third Avenue, where traffic sometimes backs up due to the number of drivers waiting to turn left into RIH even with a left-hand bay, senior traffic technician Pierre Pouliotte said the city will change its stoplight phasing, in addition to adding an extra lane for hospital-bound traffic.

Instead of having eastbound and westbound traffic make left turns at the same time, the intersection will move to splitphase lighting, where westbound cars move left or straight for the duration of a light, followed by eastbound cars.

The city believes the project can cut down on the number of rear-end crashes farther up the road by banning left-turn access to Second Avenue from Columbia Street.

The closure was one of the more controversial aspects of the project when the city hosted a public-input session in February, and appeared to remain a sticking point this week, with some West End residents complaining the city had cut off one of the only main access points to their neighbourhood.

Capital projects manager Darren Crundwell said while about half the people who weighed in on the closure at the previ-

ous open house disliked the move, the city opted to go ahead with it because of the high number of collisions recorded by ICBC at the intersection.

The project is headed back to council on Tuesday, Dec. 2, when councillors will be asked to kick-start a loan-authorization bylaw to borrow for the project.

Crundwell said council still has the option to change the design of the project, though staff are not looking for that kind of input. “The report we’re taking forward is about funding the project. We’re not looking for design changes at this time,� he said. “But who knows, it could change.�

While many residents who attended February’s public-input session wanted to see a bike lane included in the design, the city isn’t planning on making it easier for cyclists to use the road. “It’s an arterial road. It’s for vehicles, not for biking,� Farrow said.

Instead, the city displayed a map of its preferred route for cyclists at the open house.

The route funnels cyclists along St. Paul and Nicola streets.

Farrow said the city has invested money to make the route more attractive to cyclists, citing a mini-roundabout unveiled this fall at the intersection of Nicola Street and Twelfth Avenue, which is meant to calm traffic without requiring drivers or cyclists to come to a stop. The city is considering installing several of the roundabouts along its cycling route.

PREPARE FOR 20- TO 30-MINUTE WAITS NEXT YEAR Get ready for traffic delays and detours.

With a $3.8-million widening of Columbia Street scheduled to begin construction in the summer of 2015, when major roadworks on the Overlanders Bridge will also be underway, city staff is warning drivers to prepare for lessthan-ideal drive times. “To be honest, next year is probably going to be some of the biggest impact the city has seen from a construction perspective,� capital-projects manager Darren Crundwell said.

The $9.3-million bridge-resurfacing project is expected to start in the spring and last about five months. Work on Columbia is slated for the summer, in order to finish before completion of the new Royal Inland Hospital clinicalservices building in 2016.

Crundwell said the timing of the two projects, both on well-travelled routes, will be frustrating for some, but the city could not delay. grey 50%, white backgound

“The Overlanders is overdue and this project [Columbia] is being driven by hospital improvements, plus the improvements we want to make, so the timelines are kind of out of our control,� he said.

Crundwell said the city plans to launch an aggressive communications and advertising campaign to make residents aware of the projects — and the hassles they may encounter behind the wheel. “We want to tell the public to expect 20- to 30-minute delays,� he said. “That’s going to be normal at some points of the day.�

While Overlanders will likely be reduced to two-lane traffic for much of construction, Crundwell said Columbia may not be as affected because construction of new sidewalks and road space on the south side of the street should not impact most of the existing roadway.

In both cases, the city plans to stop construction from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., when traffic is at its peak.

Nation’s highest court to decide DUI legislation TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Canada’s highest court has agreed to hear the potentially precedent-setting case of a Kamloops man who successfully appealed his immediate roadside prohibition — only to have another court overturn that decision.

Lee Michael Wilson

was pulled over in 2012 and was temporarily prohibited from driving after blowing a warn on a roadside screening device.

A year later, a B.C. Supreme Court judge overturned the prohibition — which had long since expired — on the grounds the officer who doled it out admitted Wilson showed no signs of

Chances are, bingo is big The North Shore is getting more bingo.

At its Tuesday, Nov. 25 meeting, Kamloops city council agreed to issue a development permit, which will allow Chances Gaming Entertainment to incorporate a 900-square-metre expansion in its building at 1250 Halston Ave. Marvin Kwiatkowski, the city’s director of development and engineering services, said the new addition will become an expanded lounge and extend Chances’ bingo area.

Because bingo halls are permitted under the building’s commercial zoning class, no public hearing is required for the expansion bid.

impairment other than an odour of liquor on his breath.

A three-judge panel in the B.C. Court of Appeal later reversed that ruling after the provincial government appealed the B.C. Supreme Court decision.

The matter will now be settled once and for all by the highest court

in the country.

If the Supreme Court of Canada sides with Wilson, the province could be forced to change the way it hands out immediate roadside prohibitions — or scrap the program altogether.

New legislation was introduced in B.C. four years ago, allowing police, through the provin-

cial superintendent of motor vehicles, to immediately prohibit drivers who blow a warn reading on a roadside-screening device.

Touted as the toughest in the country, the legislation effectively decriminalized drunk driving for all but the worst cases — meaning the vast majority of sus-

pected drunk drivers will never set foot in a courtroom.

Instead, those drivers are handed outof-court sanctions on the spot.

In addition to Wilson’s case, the Supreme Court of Canada will also hear a case involving six B.C. drivers who either refused to give a roadside breath

sample or registered a fail on a roadsidescreening device.

They challenged the province’s automatic roadside prohibitions for those who blow over .08 (bloodalcohol level) on a screening device.

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder W. Gifford-Jones, MD

W

hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack.

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack.

Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent.

But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies.

The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day.

This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors.

As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine!

I turned 90 this year.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.

Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal.

I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

SEXING UP OUR POLITICAL WORLD

T

he federal Liberals have a policy resolution that says prostitution is a “legitimate service” that should be taxed “just like any other commercial enterprise.”

With the municipal election behind us and a provincial vote 30 months away, our political divining rod naturally dipped toward the federal election, which is scheduled for Oct. 19, 2015.

We suspect it will be difficult for candidates across the country to localize the federal election. Perhaps it’s fair to say the federal election really isn’t about local issues.

As we went looking for some federal-election angle, we stumbled upon the Liberal Party of Canada’s (B.C. chapter) policy resolutions.

They are not official campaign planks yet. And we didn’t just go cherry-picking to highlight this particular resolution — it’s No. 2 on the Liberal’s 10 prioritized policies.

The preamble to the resolution is sound, logical stuff that speaks to the marginalization of the most vulnerable people in our society. It speaks about how limiting sex-trade workers to the street puts them at a greater risk of human trafficking, assault, murder and other violent and malicious crimes.

The resolution suggests the party will table a bill in the House of Commons, ensuring sex-trade workers are legally able to secure all materials and spaces required to run a safe and successful business, with a proper business licence.

Will Liberal candidates across Canada be forced, by the policy of their party, to encourage their municipal councils to look favourably on business licence bylaw changes that will welcome facilities where people can safely pay for sex?

And to think we believed this federal election was going to be boring.

This was not MLK’s dream

L

ess than a month ago, I was in Memphis, Tenn., standing within a few feet of the balcony on which Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated by James Earl Ray. It was cold in Memphis that day, colder than the mercury in Kamloops, despite Memphis’ Deep South latitude, but I truly did feel warm as I stepped forward, within a few steps of the wreath that marks the spot on the second-floor balcony of the Lorraine Motel where a great man was silenced.

To be right there essentially defies description.

The Lorraine Motel is frozen in time. Everything — the motel sign, the parking lot, the wingtailed cars and the building itself — is as it was on April 4, 1968, when King was murdered.

The motel is now a U.S historic site and is attached to the National Civil Rights Museum, which, on the day I visited, was a lonely place.

On the day I visited, there were two people outside the motel — a black woman who was preparing to start her shift inside the museum and a black woman shivering under a tarp as she held a cardboard sign decrying the gentrification of the South of Main neighbourhood in which the Lorraine Motel stands.

Both welcomed this Canadian to their city — and both cautioned me to be careful.

To be sure, the downtown Memphis I visited is a hard place, part of a city that, outside of

Newsroom

MUSINGS Graceland and the Riverwalk and Beale Street, is broken badly and trying desperately to recover.

I thought of Memphis and the once-in-a-lifetime-journey to the Lorraine Motel as I watched the latest coverage this week from Ferguson, a suburb of St. Louis.

In August, a white Ferguson police officer named Darren Wilson shot and killed an 18-year-old black teenager named Michael Brown, an act that led to protests in the streets.

(The use of “black” and “white” to describe people is intentional as protesters have made the shooting a black-andwhite issue. It may be. Racism remains a huge issue in the U.S. But, let’s not forget the fact Brown was a massive bully, six-foot-four and 285 pounds, who had just robbed a store, assaulted its owner and attacked the cop who ultimately fatally shot him).

Earlier this week, a grand jury declined to indict Wilson for the shooting, a decision that led to more protests in the streets of Ferguson.

Along with law-abiding protesters came the requisite thugs, who proceeded to surprise nobody by looting stores, setting them ablaze, then shooting at firefighters who attempted to save the businesses.

CNN was on the scene with multiple reporters, one of whom stood near where the looters were doing their deed and declared, solemnly, that such a scene was the result of rage manifested due to what the looters saw as injustice.

Of course, the reporter was wrong.

The gathering of law-abiding protesters holding signs and chanting slogans was a response to what they saw as an injustice.

The swarms of people breaking windows, stealing items and burning down businesses?

Most would be hard-pressed to name either person involved in this issue.

But, even if one of those thugs was destroying a black-owned store in a black neighbourhood to protest a white cop killing a black teenager, one can only think of Martin Luther King.

The great man forced more change in America by his words than any amount of shattered glass, charred wood and attacks on police will ever accomplish.

King once said, “A riot is the language of the unheard.”

With respect to Ferguson, he was correct — the thugs in the street were hell-bent on rioting even before they heard the grand jury’s verdict. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

HIGHWAY PROJECT A SMOOTH RIDE Editor: As a resident of Pritchard who travels frequently to Kamloops, I anticipated the highway project from Monte Creek eastward with considerable dread.

Endless lines of stopped traffic, impatient drivers (I’m one) grumbling and swearing, frustrated flag

people fearing for their very lives . . . you get the picture.

What a blessed surprise this project has been!

The contractor, Brentwood Enterprises, has kept traffic flowing smoothly, with minimum disruption, even through the busy tourist season.

The road I must

travel, Martin Prairie Road, had a detour for only a few weeks, while the overpass area was under development, a small price to pay for the safety and convenience we are going to enjoy with a full interchange, as opposed to the level crossing that was initially presented to residents.

In an age when

there is no end to the things we have to bellyache about, it’s nice to be able to extend kudos to Brentwood and their employees.

And no, I am not a shareholder, nor do I have any other connection to the contractor.

Editor: Many people in Brocklehurst know me as that busker at Coopers.

You also know me from doing the adopt-a-road program on Tranquille Road out to the airport.

I’ve been performing at Cooper’s for the last six years.

Your generosity has put food on my table many times.

It’s my honour to play for such wonderful, good-hearted people.

I’d just like to take a moment to say thank you for all of your kind donations.

It’s things like this that make Kamloops my home.

We say thank you to our bus drivers.

We donate to every cause put toward us.

All the quarters, dimes and nickels are donated by me to Coopers Children’s Hospital fund.

I’ve made many friends here through busking.

It helps me feel part of our special community that makes Brock a wonderful place to live and shop!

Thank you to the staff at Cooper’s and Shoppers Drug Mart for putting up with me over the years.

I hope to continue my acoustic performances in years to come.

Your patience and generosity is truly appreciated.

an Honey is a determined woman — and that determination brings with it a $75,000 donation to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation’s fundraising campaign for a new operating room.

Honey’s resolve comes from having spent time in one of the existing operating rooms to regain her mobility.

The co-owner of Rivercity Fibre Ltd. isn’t a new donor to the foundation.

So far, she has added $260,000 to its coffers, along with $20,000 specifically geared for the orthopaedics clinic, where her surgeon, Dr. Callie Akermann, works.

Honey will continue to be a donor, she said, because she’s set a goal of eventually passing along $1 million of her money to help Royal Inland Hospital grow.

The story behind her commitment to the hospital starts in her hometown of Williams Lake.

Growing up on a ranch with about 300 head of cattle, Honey lived a decidedly physical life, one that continued after she married a man in the logging business.

She went on to work beside

him, adding to the toil on her body.

Walking became harder and harder and, Honey said, she spent 15 years listening to doctors tell her there was nothing wrong with her.

“I was 54 at that time and all the docs said I was too young, too young [for knee replacement],” Honey recounted.

“I said, ‘These are my productive years and I want my mobility in my productive years.’”

My bean counters “tell me I can do that. I’m glad I’m able to do that.

”

Honey eventually connected with Dr. James Howie in Kamloops, who reviewed her X-rays, turned to her and asked, “When do you want your new knees?”

“I asked him who could do it and he told me . . . and I said let’s start at the top of the alphabet — and I got Akermann,” Honey said.

She was referred in October, saw Akermann in December and got a new knee in March.

“I had them do the left first, so I could still drive,” Honey said.

Honey took Akermann seriously when he told her he had done his job and she had to do hers.

Using an office chair, Honey worked her legs together, bending the new knee under the seat of the chair and using a nearby table for leverage, all to get that joint working.

With the second knee replacement, Akermann — knowing how much Honey didn’t like to take medication — used a hairline tube to directly send pain medicines to the knee area.

“I told him I didn’t want to take any drugs so I wouldn’t be a space cadet flying around on Oxycontin,” Honey said.

“A couple of hours after that, he hunted me down because he told me to check back in two hours.

I was waiting in my room and, when he came in, I got up and walked straight to him,” she said “He gave me back all of my mobility.”

Honey said the business has been good to her and her family.

“My bean counters tell me I can do that,” she said of donating to the foundation.

“I’m glad I’m able to do that.”

‘Oh my God. What is this? Is he dead?’

CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Assault trial hears accused thought he’d killed victim in 2010 attack outside property on Westsyde Road

Not only did Corey Foster have to worry about police investigating an incident in Westsyde that left a resident drug dealer lying on the side of the road in a pool of blood, his former girlfriend testified the leader of Independent Soldiers in Kamloops also wanted to know what happened to the seriously injured James Kwasnica.

Siobhan Kelly testified Thursday as a crown witness in the B.C. Supreme Court in the trial of Corey Foster, who is accused of aggravated assault and break and enter in August, 2010.

Kelly said she drove Foster — her boyfriend at the time and father of her two children — along with two other men, to the site of a burned out home on Westsyde Road, near the city limits.

Foster was going to “talk” to the man living in a camper on

the property — Kwasnica — who was allegedly dealing drugs and who had allegedly threatened the operator of a neighbouring daycare where Foster’s kids often stayed.

In his opening statement, Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan said Foster attacked Kwasnica, who came out of his camper carrying a hatchet after hearing noises in the early morning darkness.

Kelly said after the confrontation in the yard, Foster and the two men jumped in her waiting van shouting shouting “go, go, go.”

She saw the victim, James Kwasnica, lying on Westsyde Road and testified she had to swerve around him.

“I said to Corey “‘Oh my God. What is this? Is he dead?’”

She drove them back to Kamloops. Kelly said the three men chucked their footwear into

the North Thompson River as they crossed the Halston Bridge.

She said Foster told her he stabbed Kwasnica with a screwdriver after he came at him with a hatchet and was worried his DNA would be left at the scene.

“He said he thought he [Kwasnica] was dead,” she said.

The next morning, Kelly testified the girlfriend of Jayme Russell, at that time the ranking Independent Soldier gangster in Kamloops, called Foster.

“She was calling because Jayme found out what happened to Mr. Kwasnica,” she said. “He wanted Corey to find out about it and take care of it.”

Kelly also testified she later heard Foster later tell his friend he was worried Kwasnica was dead, Russell wanted him to find out how it happened “and he didn’t know what to do about it.”

The trial is scheduled to continue next week.

CUSTOMER APPRECIATION

DAYS DEC. 1ST, 2ND & 3RD

The keynote speaker at a First Nations forum on aboriginal title is advocating for a new attempt at treaty negotiations — something rejected by Secwepemc First Nations for decades.

James Tully, described as Canada’s foremost political theorist during an introduction at the Nov. 21 forum at Thompson Rivers University, said new treaty-making must be done with fundamental differences in the wake of Supreme Court of Canada decisions dating back to the 1970s.

Tully spoke at a forum hosted by Shuswap Nation Tribal Council called What is Consent? It comes in the wake of a decision of the Supreme Court of Canada to award aboriginal title to 1,700 square kilometres of land in the Chilcotin’s Nemiah Valley — a decision that rejected the government’s argument that title only existed in intensely settled areas.

Tully, a University of Victoria professor, outlined B.C.’s relationship with aboriginal people dating back to the early 1800s, when the first visitors from Europe integrated into First Nations lands, trading

and sometimes intermarrying.

Tully said James Douglas, the first governor of Vancouver Island and later of what would become mainland British Columbia, established treaties in the mid19th century to preserve the independence of indigenous people.

Reserves, rather than the confining tiny pieces of land that would be later established, were all lands not directly under treaty agreement.

However, leaders after Douglas abandoned that recognition of aboriginal rights and title, “kicking the can down the road” for a century, Tully said.

But, beginning in the 1970s, Tully said successive Supreme Court of Canada decisions have recognized aboriginal rights were never abandoned, nor taken.

The step forward, he said, is to go back to the original stance taken by Douglas — treating First Nations as independent nations and equals and creating treaties on that basis.

“Douglas has been poorly interpreted,” Tully said. “He quite literally says . . . ‘put all the traditional territory in the reservation. They can lease it out if they want and they get 100 per cent, but it’s their land.’”

Tully said B.C.’s treaty process has

been under an unequal and subservient relationship that doesn’t exist in law.

He said new treaties must be done on a nation-to-nation basis, with First Nations not within Canada, but beside it.

But, the concept of treaties in this region has long been rejected.

One forum participant told Tully: “I’ll never support a treaty process. It doesn’t benefit our people in any way. I know it never will.”

Secwepemc leader Wayne Christian acknowledged Tully’s idea may strike some as outdated. But, he noted Tully’s insistence the two sides must be on equal ground and his rejection of the current process as irrelevant in wake of the latest decision on Chilcotin land.

“We don’t see [the current B.C. treaty process] as a treaty process. We see it as a real-estate deal,” Christian said. “They’re just buying up land . . . That’s not a treaty.”

Christian also echoed Tully’s call for a parallel indigenous law that would integrate and exist beside Canadian law.

Tully said in order for treaty negotiations to be equal, much more building of First Nations capacity in education and economy must occur.

H

e might not yet be the bonafide No. 1, but Connor Ingram is the Kamloops Blazers’ in-favour goaltender.

The 17-year-old backstop who earned a contract with the Blue and Orange at training camp in August has started five straight games and he might get the nod tonight (Nov. 28) against the Regina Pats.

“We have two young goalies that will get opportunities, but we’re going with the hot guy right now,” Blazers head coach Don Hay told KTW. “He’s established himself here.”

Game time tonight is 7 p.m. at Interior Savings Centre.

Ingram has owned the crease since relieving Cole Kehler, 16, in a 4-2 loss to Spokane at ISC on Nov. 14, stopping 158 of the 168 shots (94 per cent) that have came his way since taking over.

“The more you play, the more you get adapted to the league. It’s just a little bit easier.” said Ingram, the 6-foot-1 netminder from Imperial, Sask.

“I don’t think it’s just me. I think as a team we’ve started to play a lot better. We’ve bought into what Don is teaching us.”

Kamloops had points in four straight games until it lost 2-1 in regulation to the Everett Silvertips after a snowy bus ride on Wednesday.

Head coach Don Hay didn’t go so far as to say Connor Ingram is the No. 1 guy between the pipes, but the 17-year-old goaltender has gained the upper hand on Kamloops Blazers’ counterpart Cole Kehler, 16.

make mistakes,” said Ingram, who led the Prince Albert Mintos to victory at the Telus Cup, the national midget championship, in 2013-2014.

“As a goalie, they’re a bit magnified. You’ve got to get over them and forget about things quickly and move onto the next one.”

When Kamloops GM Craig Bonner traded away 20-yearold goaltender Bolton Pouliot earlier this season, he chose to ride with two rookie goaltenders, always a risky proposition.

So far, the decision hasn’t hurt the team.

Should he get the call tonight, Ingram will have his hands full with the visitors from the Queen City.

The Pats are coming off a 5-2 victory over the hometown Prince George Cougars on Wednesday, their eighth win in 10 games.

Fans at ISC will want to keep an eye on Regina forward Morgan Klimchuk, who was picked 28th overall in the 2013 NHL Draft by the Calgary Flames.

He has eight goals and 17 points in 16 games.

Hay said his hot-hand netminder is anything but hot-headed, possessing a calm demeanour that has served him well so far.

If Ingram can continue to roll, he’ll home in on the fulltime starting gig.

“If you play well and practise hard, you’ll get the opportunity to go back-to-back,” Hay said.

“They understand the importance of wins and of playing well when they get the opportunity.”

Junior B puck in The Puddle?

ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The landscape of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League might look very different a few years from now.

So, it’s with the possibility of change in mind that the Kamloops Storm will play host to the 100 Mile House Wranglers for a regular-season game tonight (Nov. 28) in Williams Lake.

“The long and the short of it is, it’s an attempt by the league to spark some interest in junior B hockey in Williams Lake,” Kamloops Storm general manager Barry Dewar told KTW. Dewar is also a member of the KIJHL’s franchise committee.

“I think the board wants to look at all alternatives and all possibilities about where to be at and what the footprint of the league should be.”

Dewar said the league has been approached about putting a team in Quesnel, but would also need a team in Williams Lake in order to make the northern location work.

Earlier this season, 100 Mile House played the Chase Heat in a regular-season game in Quesnel, in front of about 361 fans.

Dewar hopes the Storm and the Wranglers will draw

a crowd of about 300, but would love to see between 500 and 700 fill the stands.

The Storm general manager said he has had conversations with a few interested parties in Williams Lake, but most are taking the wait-and-see approach.

He said potential owners are reluctant to put down the franchise fee, about $150,000, without a firm idea of the club’s eventual popularity.

“We’re trying to find someone in Williams Lake that maybe can come to the game Friday night, in front of a packed house, and say, ‘Hey, I can make some money here and I’m willing to put a team here,’” Dewar said.

Also on the radar are rumours of teams considering leaving the junior A B.C. Hockey League in favour of joining the KIJHL or another junior B league.

The Prince George Spruce Kings, Merritt Centennials,Trail Smoke Eaters and Powell River Kings are among the teams predicted to be on the move around this time every year.

“There’s a lot of rumours that some of the B.C. Hockey League teams will not stay in the B.C. Hockey League and that they may be looking to come into the KIJHL in the near future,” Dewar said.

Pakhomenko packing a punch with Pack ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Iuliia Pakhomenko isn’t afraid to “steal someone’s lunch.”

It’s a term WolfPack head coach Chad Grimm uses to describe his outside hitter’s competitive fire. She wants the win and she’ll do whatever it takes to get it.

“She’s a competitor, I think, number one,” the women’s volleyball coach said. “Lots of people have skill sets and lots of people are good players, but she’s a competitor and she doesn’t want to lose. Ever.

“I told the girls before, you’ve got to want to steal their lunch sometimes. I don’t think we had a lot of people that were willing to do that — and she definitely is.”

Pakhomenko has stolen plenty of lunches so far in 2014-2015.

The native of Donetsk, Ukraine, leads the Canada West in both kills (275) and kills per set (4.91) heading into this weekend’s matches against the University of Alberta.

She’s also among league leaders in points (309, second), points per set (5.5, second), hitting percentage

(.294, fourth) and total attacks (592, second).

Earlier this year, she tied a 10-year-old conference record, recording 34 kills in a match against the Regina Cougars to match former Manitoba Bison Genevieve Lamarre’s 2004 record.

“I think, when you look back at some of her performances, it’s outstanding for anybody,” Grimm said. “She’s putting up some pretty incredible numbers and pretty consistently, as well. I wouldn’t look back at many matches where she has been poor, or she has gone away.

“So, she’s consistently been our best player and consistently the best player in the league.”

Pakhomenko described her play this season as “a surprise,” but,

undoubtedly, a pleasant one.

“In the beginning of the season, pre-season, I wasn’t expecting it was going to be like that,” Pakhomenko said of her dominant start.

Though the team’s offence has funnelled through her this season, she doesn’t focus much on how her play has helped turned the Pack around.

“It’s satisfying, I enjoy it, but I don’t think about it that much. It just happens. It’s not my focus to be a leader,” she said.

Whether her focus or not, Pakhomenko has undoubtedly become one of the WolfPack’s leaders.

Grimm said she has helped to re-

establish a winning culture in women’s volleyball at TRU. Her work in the classroom and the weight room is rubbing off on her teammates.

She gives the team a sense of calm on the court in tight games.

Her skill and attitude exude confidence in matches where the team might be tied 14-14 in a deciding set.

Confidence will be needed this weekend as the WolfPack (7-7) faces the Alberta Pandas (9-3) tonight (Nov. 28) and tomorrow, at 6 p.m. and 5 p.m., respectively.

The men’s volleyball teams from each school will square off both nights following the women’s tilts.

Alberta is second in the Canada

Adil Hosenbocus Manager

West, trailing only the UBCOkanagan Heat (10-4), who have played two more matches this season.

“They’re pretty stable. They don’t have a lot of gaping holes,” Grimm said of Alberta. “And, unlike Manitoba last weekend, they don’t have a girl who gets 70 per cent of their volume, they do a better job of spreading it out.”

The WolfPack enters the weekend seventh in the Canada West, holding down the conference’s final playoff spot.

“Our goal is to make it to the playoffs,” Pakhomenko said. “We have to take small steps and our next step is playoffs.”

Fuoco on track for success Kamloops athlete training under ex-Olympian Gary Reed MARTY HASTINGS sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ty Fuoco has a secret weapon in Gary Reed.

The 17-year-old Kamloops Track and Field Club runner who will compete tomorrow (Nov. 29) at the Canadian Cross Country Championships in Vancouver has been under the tutelage of Reed, a two-time Olympian, since September.

“Ever since I started training with Gary, things have been different,” said Fuoco, who will traverse a six-kilometre course in the youth boys’ division at Jericho Beach Park.

“I enjoy the really intense workouts he does for practice.

He’s got everyone on their specific programs. He makes us work really hard and pushes us toward our potential.”

Reed, who works full-time with real-estate developer A&T Project Developments, became the middle-distance and crosscountry coach for the B.C. Athletics Interior region and the

KTFC on Sept. 2.

With just 10 athletes in the KTFC’s middle-distance program, there is plenty of work to be done on the home front.

“The program has taken a quantum leap from where it was before and we want people to know that,” said Reed, the current Canadian record holder in the 800-metre distance (1:43.68).

“We could always use more people. We’ve got a really good young group of athletes who are thriving.”

The fall cross-country and middle-distance seasons are over, but indoor competition gets underway in January and KTFC athletes are training throughout the winter.

After less than two months of training with Reed, the Sa-Hali secondary student placed fifth in the 16-and17-year-old boys division

at the B.C. Cross Country Championships in Abbotsford on Oct. 25 to qualify for nationals, marking the first time Fuoco has earned a spot at the Canadian championships.

“It’ll be a high level of competition, but I’m looking forward to it and hopefully I’ll have a good weekend,” said Fuoco, who also plays hockey.

“I’m looking to finish in the top of the pack, but I’m just looking to have a good time and get more experience.”

Reed will accompany Fuoco to nationals this weekend and he has high hopes for one of his first test projects, who will test his mettle against 121 other boys in his division, representing B.C. and the KTFC. “He’s a phenomenal talent,” said Reed, who won silver in the 800-metre at the 2007 World Championships in Athletics in Osaka, Japan.

“I’m predicting a very good result for him. He’s as dedicated and committed to the process as a coach could ever ask for.”

12 versus 12 Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady have never started against each other — until this Sunday KEN POWTAK

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers really do have a lot in common.

During this season’s first month, the star quarterbacks of the Patriots and Packers were facing questions about their teams’ slow starts.

It’s no coincidence New England and Green Bay are now playing at extremely high levels. Consistent, outstanding play by both QBs has their clubs on similar paths.

Heading into Sunday’s showdown at Green Bay’s Lambeau Field, Brady’s Patriots and Rodgers’ Packers are riding high in their respective conferences.

New England (9-2) owns the AFC’s best record, coming in riding a seven-game winning streak. NFC Northleading Green Bay (8-3) has won seven of eight.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick was asked if he saw any similarities in how they’ve elevated their play after the slow starts.

“They both wear No. 12,’’ he said, breaking into a grin before he left the podium.

Belichick was more expansive in praising Rodgers.

“It’s just, he’s great,’’

A17

he said.

“He’s quick, he’s big, he throws the ball very accurately, has great vision down the field. He finds guys that there’s not a lot of space, but he finds them and he hits them.’’

Rodgers has thrown 30 touchdowns with just three interceptions this season, completing 66.7 per cent of his passes for an NFLleading 119.2 QB rating.

Since a 1-2 start, he has 25 TDs to two INTs, matching Brady’s 2007 record of four straight games of three or more TDs with no interceptions.

“He’s the best quarterback I’ve seen on tape,’’ said New England safety Devin McCourty, who has already faced Denver’s Payton Manning and Andrew Luck of Indianapolis this season.

“He’s the guy that commands that team,’’ Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis said.

Rodgers’ run started after he told Packers fans on his radio show in September: “Five letters here, just for everybody out there in Packer land: R-E-L-A-X. Relax. We’re going to be OK.’’ He couldn’t resist that answer when

asked about the turnaround again this week.

“I think we’ve been pretty relaxed,’’ he said, smiling.

Brady’s season isn’t much different.

Following a blowout loss in Kansas City on Week 4, his ability was questioned. He was asked if time had passed him by.

Instead, during the winning streak, the 37-year-old has connected for 22 TDs with only four interceptions, completing 67.3 per cent of his passes.

“What we went through, we went through and, hopefully, we’ve moved past that and we’re at a different point now,’’ said the two-time MVP (2007 and 2010).

“Like I said, you never want to ride the ups and downs of the season. There are going to be ups, and there are going to be downs, and there are going to be long nights. There are going to be sleepless nights and you’ve just got to stay true to what you’re doing.’’

When they face off for the first time in their careers as starters, don’t expect a lot of interceptions.

Rodgers and Brady are ranked No. 1 and 2, respectively, all-time in TD/INT ratio.

WHL Giants axe head coach Ward VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Giants have fired head coach Troy Ward..

Assistant coach Matt Erhart has been named the club’s interim head coach while strength and conditioning coach Ian Gallagher and skills coach Yogi Svejkovsky will serve as assistants.

“Obviously with where we are in the standings, it just wasn’t working with Troy,’’ Giants general manager Scott Bonner said.

“This is the unfortunate part of sports, but we thought change was needed.

“We wish Troy all the best in the future.’’

The Giants are last in the WHL’s Western Conference with a 9-16-0 record.

They’ve won just two of their past 10 games.

This season was Ward’s first as head coach of the Giants. He previously served as head coach of the American Hockey League’s Abbotsford Heat from 2010-2014.

Ward also served as an assistant coach for the Pittsburgh Penguins for three seasons, from 1997 to 2000.

climbed over the fence, jumped back in the vehicle and sped away. There is no description of the suspect as he was a distance away. The vehicle appears to be a light brown older model Ford possible a Taurus.

The tires were recovered but at this point here is no other information on the suspect or vehicle.

never have to go to court or give a statement.

KATHLEEN MARGARET WHITEMAN (née HURST)

September 25, 1921 - November 24, 2014 We are sad to announce the passing of our Mom, but are thankful to have been part of her long, fulfilled life.

She was a life member of the Catholic Women’s League where she made many lifelong friends. People from all walks of life were important to Kay and she was always cooking, baking and lending a helping hand to anyone she could. There were many days when we came home from school to a full kitchen table of people we didn‘t know, but who were enjoying a full course meal and a warm place to sit.

She worked at Dalgleish Hardware and Garrish Furniture Stores in her early days. Later, Kay worked for many years as a compassionate and loving care aid at the Glenfair Seniors Complex, where later she became a resident surrounded by many friends.

Kay was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, the Royal Purple Drill Team, The Army, Navy and Air Force Vets and the Eagles.

Age 77

It is with sunken heart and deep regret the families of Helen Matilda Law announce the sudden passing of our mother, grandmother at R.I.H. Hard working, self sacrificing and determined to live life on her own terms, she taught us things to the very end and beyond. A feminist, humanist and environmentalist before they were popular things to be. She gave of herself and quietly led us by the examples she set.

Mom we miss you.

Helen is survived by her children Pat (Marcel) Provencal, Brad (Sue) Nickason; Heather Nickason, six grandchildren; brothers Billy, Ronnie, sister Joanne; childhood friend Lila. Mom looked forward to being reunited with her sisters, Rosalie and Dot. Thank you for all well wishes.

HARRY CAMERON BLADES It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our wonderful and sweet dad, Harry Cameron Blades. Survived by his loving and caring daughters, Kelly Cameron Blades and Tracy Lynn Upton (Mitch), granddaughters Caitlin Upton and Morgan Upton.

Harry also leaves behind his former wife and caring friend, Rose Blades. Dad was born on April 10, 1930 in Biggar, Saskatchewan.

He was predeceased by his parents and his younger brother Bob. The majority of his life was spent in Kamloops, growing up in the natural environment of the Tranquille valley. These years would help to create his love of the outdoors.

Harry had many careers during his lifetime – timber cruiser, firefighter, labor foreman at Mt. Lolo radar base. He was a man who knew and excelled at many things; he was a jack of all trades.

He built his first home on Kelly Drive and would later build on Kenora Road.

Dad dearly loved us, his daughters and his beloved granddaughters. He had a wry sense of humor, was logical, thoughtful, kind and a great provider. Dad was always ready to lend a hand to us fixing our cars, homes, apartments, anything where he could be of assistance to us. He was a patient teacher, teaching us to drive, and then so we would know how to change a tire, he took one off of our cars. Dad loved the outdoors and appreciated nature. He used to love hunting until we his daughters cried and complained seeing the dead birds and game he had killed. So he stopped hunting! Dad was an avid fisherman since his youth. He found great peace and solitude alone with rivers and streams perfecting the art of fly fishing, at which he became a master. His early fishing years were spent at Peter Hope Lake and on the Thompson River. One of his favorite places was the Dean River north of Bella Coola, B.C. An original founder of the Cedar Hole Gang, many “happy” hours were spent on the river. He raced snowmobiles and helped to form the first club in Kamloops. He loved the speed and the challenge. Later in life Dad found a great passion – golf. Dad enjoyed sports and hobbies that challenged him as an individual. He golfed many years happily at Eaglepoint Golf Course with his favorite golf partner and longtime friend, Chuck.

We as his daughters sincerely thank Dr. J.F. Malan, Wendy and the palliative care nurses, and the amazingly kind and caring staff of Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home. You all came to our assistance and rescue when we so dearly needed you. Anyone wishing to send flowers to the family, please instead make a donation to the hospice at 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, B.C. V2E 2S9. Dad was so very happy to be there and appreciated and admired everyone there.

Dad did not want a formal funeral but he did want a memorial tea for family and friends. The tea is to be held on Saturday, November 29, 2014 at the Pacific Inn, Banquet Room, 1820 Rogers Place, from 1:30 pm to 4:00 pm. Arrangements entrusted to Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services.

Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race.

He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name.

“Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.”

But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!”

And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!

FAITH

O come back, Emmanuel: An Advent message

B

eginning with the first Sunday in Advent on Nov. 30, the world would once more draw near the message and the meaning of the birth of Jesus Christ once more.

As we look at the Christian history of the past 2,000 years, the word of Saint Paul — “When the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son” (Galatians 4:4) — seem a bit hollow these days.

Was humanity really ready and waiting for the coming of Christ at that time?

Are they, even today?

Or, did He break in upon our human paradigms too soon?

The gospels declare the gaping and the curious crowds were waiting for the revelation of the Messiah always.

The would wait with staring eyes for anyone who could work a

NARYAN MITRA

FAITH

cheap miracle or give them bread without sweat or security without toil.

But, aside from them and what they represented, was humanity waiting for the coming of the Advent in some universal sense?

But, our own day?

If 21 centuries was too soon, what reason have we to feel it would be any different today or that His coming would be more opportune?

If we were to take this question to the

world of politics, busiw ness, ne international relations or even to the re modern home, what m would we find? w We would encounter people who still claim pe that, th in order to survive, a person must not only p be physically strong and an fit, but must always look out the numero uno, or No. 1.

The gospel of the brave, holding up the arms of the faint-hearted or of denying one’s life in order to realize its fullness, seems to make dismal reading in these times when brute force appears to be the only language this world will listen to or attempt to understand.

The New Testament gospel that enjoins upon us to “walk the second mile,” or “build our homes on solid rock,” seems unconventional and innocuous in a world that appears to believe in an “eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth.”

Surely we would be forced to discount this 21st century as the least feasible time and declare: “Jesus came too soon, this Christ of peace, people are not ready for Him yet.”

We would be tempted to add it was too soon to teach people that the road to humility is the way to spiritual leadership, power, and victory.

Too soon to convince that self-renunciation is the way to lasting success and moral maturity.

Too soon to advise belligerent nations and groups — the Taliban, the Boko Haram, ISIL — that enslavement of others is treachery against the sanctity of the human soul and deserves vengeance of God. However, we still have the words of Paul that, at the right time, God sent forth His Son. At that time, wherever Jesus went or

whenever He appeared, apart from some irresponsible and wavering crowds, there were invariably those poor and spiritually beleaguered folks who were “all waiting for Him” (Luke 8:40).

This is what is meant by the fullness of time.

How providentially the external conditions and circumstances helped in the preparation for this zero hour in the spiritual destiny of the human race.

For 100 years before Jesus came, the known world had been merely a loose aggregation of warring states and tail ends of decaying empires.

Then Rome took over and, under the Pax Romana, rivalry and discord gave way to unity and peace.

Freedom to move without passports or fear sped the early messengers of Christ bearing the good news to

the farthest frontiers.

How could Jesus’ coming be any more opportune than in such circumstances?

What, then, did the people and nations wait in connection with the coming of Jesus?

What difference has the glorious advent of the Lord made in the story of the human race?

A biblical analysis of the question would yield at least three practical answers: In the incarnation of Christ, God has become real to people.

The Hebrews, of course, knew God was real and present, yet there was the deepseated feeling that He was in heaven and man was on Earth.

The Creator and His creatures were far apart.

With God at hand in the person of Christ, each believer had something to live for.

Life became real and

meaningful and great because even at the cost of death itself, men would go on living for God. Because God had become more real to men in Jesus Christ, loneliness has been taken out of their faith.

Many feel religion is a lonely business these days.

It is so much easier to be one of a jolly, irreligious crowd than to be dubbed a killjoy.

But, with God’s Son in him, a person can stand against the world and overcome it.

Once more the world is drawing near to the celebration of the birth of Christ.

Will this Advent season be for us the dawn of a new day?

It would, if we pray sincerely with the hymn writer Emily Elliot: “O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, there is room in my heart for Thee.” mitraryan225@yahoo.ca

Plenty for snowbirds to do in San Jacinto Valley

W

hen Old Man Winter makes his annual appearance, my husband and I snowbird south to Hemet, Calif., and the Golden Village Palms (GVP) RV park becomes our home away from home.

Although there’s more than enough summercamp-type activities to keep us content, this year we ventured beyond this lush playground and discovered there’s even more just beyond our RV door.

To Market

Tasty produce and pastries line up next to beaded jewellery and souvenirs.

Outdoor markets are big in this region and the prices are downright cheap. On Saturdays, check out the artisans and farmers who congregate in downtown Hemet, then head southeast to Winchester Flea Market where you’ll find everything from flowering trees to tweeting cockatiels.

If you’re into driving a little further, veer into Old Town Temecula.

Or, do an about face to the College of the Desert (Palm Desert). With over 300 vendors you’re bound to find that one-of-a-kind treasure.

And when it comes to markets, there’s nothing quite like the Palm Springs Villagefest.

Every Thursday night, the swanky Palm Canyon Drive transforms into a happening heyday. Veggies, flowers and gems unite with snacks, sweets and socializing. It’s a huge crowd-pleaser.

If you don’t want to stray very far from GVP, no worries. A farmers’ market

comes every Tuesday, so goodness is guaranteed for your entire stay.

Glorious Golf

There are lots of courses within a short drive and most are a third the price we pay here in Canada.

Echo Hills, a recentlyreconstructed nine-hole par 3 charges less than $10 a round.

On Thursdays, Golden Era rolls out the verdant carpet. Thirty bucks per couple gets GVP guests circling its regulation-length nine holes — and that’s driving a cart.

Seven Hills is another steal. In the afternoons their 18-hole, par 72, is a mere twenty-two dollars.

Even higher-end courses, like our favourite, Diamond Valley Golf Club, are dirt cheap.

This gorgeous gem, backed by the San Jacinto peaks, sprawls over fourhundred and fifty lush Hemet Valley acres. GVP also offers an organized golf program and, by signing up, all guests get a deal on green fees and assurance of tee times.

Hiking and more

The San Jacinto, Santa Rosa and San Bernardino mountains spring up from Riverside County and are home to countless hiking trails.

The well-marked routes through Simpson Park and around Diamond Valley Lake can be done at a leisurely pace.

Or, bump the exertion up a notch on steeper routes like Whitewater and Ladder Canyons or the pine-canopied trails just beyond the mountain town of Idyllwild. Devil’s Slide is one of these popular pathways that’ll kick your heart

The swimming pool is one of the social hubs at Golden Village Palms in Hemet, Calif. — a place popular with Canadians.

rate into overdrive.

A weekly group hike is organized through GVP. And, if you’d rather stick close to the homestead, the boulder-studded hills behind the resorts provide a great workout and valley panoramas.

For hiking without all the hoofing, hop aboard the Palm Springs aerial tram — the largest of its kind in the world.

You’ll be whisked to the 8,500 ft ridge top in just 10 minutes where there’s a network of trails ranging from casual rambles to

challenging ascents.

And, before making the descent, re-fuel at either the casual Pines Café or savvy Peaks Restaurant where delicious options are accompanied by Coachella Valley vistas.

If staying grounded is more your thing, Desert Adventures provides the thrill without the uphill.

Take a jeep ride through narrow canyons or an echo tour into Joshua National Park.

While being riveted in the present, you’ll step back to the past, when learning

about the Cahuilla people who once ruled this land.

You want more history?

Estudillo Mansion, a stately brick residence originally built in 1884, zeros in on San Jacinto Valley’s more recent happenings and Hemet’s state-of-the-art Western Science Centre goes right back to the area’s ice age roots when giant mammoths and mastodons roamed these lands.

Yes, there’s something for everyone in and around the city of Hemet — but that’s only if you can steal yourself away from all the

fun stuff at Golden Village Palms, including pickleball, volleyball, shimmering pools.

Add in tribute bands, comedy nights and special events to the chock-a-block full calendar and what do you have? A community of happy campers.

It’s no surprise that GVP was ranked one of the best RV parks in 2014 by the Good Sam RV Travel Guide and Campground Directory.

It’s the perfect snowbird getaway. And, for us, it beats any summer camp!

A few choice words to round out the week

WHEN RACY CONTENT IS CLICKS AWAY, WHERE’S THE LINE IN THE PAPER?

I

am miffed about muff.

Last week, I wrote a column on Movember fading away.

I speculated on the why of it all, but hoped to rekindle the momentum and spirit of the annual fundraising event.

I suggested a spinoff.

It would be something that involved more people — more hair — and it would be called Muffvember.

(Yes, it’s what you think it is.)

It was right before deadline when editor Christopher Foulds set the tongue-in-cheek concept back on my desk.

While quickly making edits, I noticed revisions I’d never seen before.

“If this means what

JESSICA WALLACE

Generation

GAP

I think, NO! “KILL!” Circled in red ink were the Muffvember references.

He wanted to “kill” the punchline and I couldn’t believe it.

Was I seriously proposing we all grow out our pubic hair for a month to raise money and awareness for charity?

No. But, it’s funny to think anyone would go

t such great lengths. to There’s a place for s storytelling and sati in Kamloops This ire W Week to break up the “ “this sex offender was r released from jail” and “ “the municipal election v voter turnout was still a absolute crap.”

And, it’s why I’m miffed over having “muff” snipped from my copy.

If I’m honest, I’d like to write some choice words right here about how peeved I really was after the column went to press without the edgy humour.

But, I probably couldn’t swear, either.

Now, I’m not suggesting we fill the paper with cusswords or pornography.

But, there is a time and a place.

Do you think Jonathan Swift was serious when he

recommended eating babies — stewed, roasted, baked or boiled — in his essay, A Modest Proposal?

Of course not, but he got his point across.

Foulds knows that.

So, why did he axe it?

And, the answer is you, dear reader.

Last month, an entertainment front featured a promo photo of Paula Burrows, an actress from Kamloops working to land a television pilot on CBC. The proposed show is about a sexualhealth nurse and her experience in the online dating world.

As such, in the photo, Burrows is dressed as a nurse, holding a banana covered in a condom.

I didn’t think much of the sexual innuendo.

And, who can blame me?

Just last week, a video went viral about grannies smoking weed for the first time in Washington, where smoking a joint and hitting a bong are no longer criminal acts.

The world’s a more progressive place these days.

But, when the photo of Burrows ran on page B1 in the Oct. 31 edition of KTW, there were calls to the office about how it was crude.

One person let our publisher know.

Foulds explained it — and this whole muff situation — to me.

KTW’s audience of 30,000 or so homes is not Victoria’s Monday Magazine or Vancouver’s Westender, he said, where the audiences to date are

accustomed to — and perhaps expect — racier copy.

KTW’s audience is much broader.

Fair enough, but anyone with the Internet can see much worse than the word “muff” flash on their screen at any random moment in a pop-up ad or have a Google search come back with unexpected and unintended results.

Nonetheless, Foulds said he was “saving” me from the impending reader fury that would inevitably ensue.

While I don’t see what the big hairy deal is about “muff” — someone would.

While I saw a Kamloops woman living out her dream to become an actress all the while promoting safe sex — someone

else saw a banana penis.

What I’d like to know going forward is where do we draw the line in anticipating phallic flak or mayhem over muff?

Should we be careful covering Farmers’ Market season with all of the carrots and cucumbers on the stands?

I mean, have you seen the size of some of those zuchinni?

At any rate, it’s too late for Foulds to save me from the impending reader fury.

So, f*** it.

What do you guys think?

Abstract painter Julie Elliot (left) will be among the 12 artists featured in an upcoming exhibit at the Chazou Gallery. Annunciation (below) by William Frymire will be one of the works on display.

THE ART OF THE ABSTRACT JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessca@kamloopsthisweek.com

J

ulie Elliot likes to think about painting as “layers of chaos and control.”

In the first layer, she spontaneously pours acrylic paint on canvas.

Then, she lets it dry — it always looks different when it dries.

Next, she repeats the steps with a new layer.

Throughout the process, she’ll change the orientation of the canvas, hang it on

a wall or leave it for months at a time until, one day, it’s just done.

“I never know where it’s going next,” said the abstract painter from Oyama.

“It’s more of a feeling of completion.”

“You just know.”

While Elliot’s abstract process is, well, just that, she’ll usually have at least 13 layers on each piece and said she is inspired by channelling a word, phrase or idea in her mind while painting.

For example, she found inspiration for

a recent piece — the phrase “consider the opening” — while reading.

“That was in the middle of the sentence and it just jumped out at me,” she said.

“I thought, what a great line.”

The artist has decades of experience from studying in the Okanagan and exhibiting in public and commercial galleries and, these days, she doesn’t worry about anything when it comes to her work.

It’s very intuitive, she said.

Four of Elliot’s pieces will be featured among about a dozen artists in the upcoming show, Winter Salon: Nocturne, at the Chazou Gallery, curated by Victoria Ryan.

For those pieces, Elliot said she felt like mixing it up.

She experimented with seed heads and made somewhat of a collage with the four paintings.

“I actually cut the painting up into four, then I combined pieces of each in each piece,” she said.

“There’s just a little

bit of a surprise.”

The exhibit marks the second time the Okanagan painter will show her work in Kamloops.

Elliott was featured in the Beyond Land Escape(s) exhibit earlier this year at the gallery.

“That was really a good opportunity for me to get out of the Okanagan Valley,” she said.

Elliott is working on 20 paintings for her next show, a solo exhibit that will be shown at the Kootenay Gallery of Art this spring.

Beauty in a cold, dark winter Winter Salon, Nocturne, opens at Chazou Gallery, 791 Victoria St., tomorrow (Nov. 29).

The exhibit is curated by Victoria Ryan and is described as the “resounding beauty” amongst a “cold and dark winter.”

Twelve artists will be featured in the exhibit: Julie Elliot, Amanda Eccleston, Royden Josephson, Linda Jules, William Frymire, Sheila MacDonald, Jewell Shaw, Tricia Sellmer, Ann Kipling, Marie Scott, Kelly Perry and Ann Diehl.

PINING FOR PEACE

The Yellow Woods by South Kamloops secondary Grade 12 student Shannen Roche is one of several pieces of art created by students at the school on display in the lobby of Sagebrush Theatre.

In her artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement, Shannen wrote she â&#x20AC;&#x153;wanted to play with textures to help allude depth within the woods.

Instilling the idea of the infinite, while using the familiar images of birch trees which line the roads where I live, brought a sense of peace to me.â&#x20AC;?

As the Page Turns is a monthly column featuring reviews of books by members of the Thompson Rivers University English department.

This monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book is recently re-published 1919 novel Janet of Kootenay: Life, Love and Laughter in an Arcady of the West. ne of the things that I enjoy most about my specialization in early Canadian literature is helping to recover the works of writers whose voices have been lost to the historical record.

Most recently, I was involved in a project to republish a 1919 novel by a B.C. writer from Cranbrook.

Evah McKowanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Janet of Kootenay: Life, Love and Laughter in an Arcady of the West is set in the small community of Erickson, B.C., just east of Creston. In 1919, this part of the province was still in the early stages of development, although subject to increasing promotion as a paradisiacal place to live.

American and Canadian reviews of the novel certainly reveal that many people still referred to the West as a generalized space and that specific knowledge of the Kootenays was limited and idealistic.

One of the contributions of this early novel is that the narrator makes constant localized references that help to create a unique sense of place and to present B.C. as geographically diverse at a time when this Western province was seen as being simply divided into â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Coastâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Interior.â&#x20AC;?

The story begins with the arrival in B.C. of the title character Janet Kirk, who was born in Ontario, spent some time farming on the Prairies, and decided to go further west and take up land in the Kootenay region. In fact, we are told that Janet has had great success as a wheat farmer and that she comes to B.C. as an economically independent woman looking for a new home.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also downright smart and, in the opening section of

REVIEW S LEIGH S. MATTHEWS

As the page

TURNS

the novel, we see her parrying with a land agent whose advertising tactics are less than honest. In the end, she manages to buy an undeveloped, 80-acre parcel of land at the foot of a mountain.

McKowanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel is written as a series of letters (dated March 1 to Sept. 25) that Janet sends to her Prairie friend and fellow homesteader Nan. Over the seven months of activity detailed in the letters, the reader watches as Janet helps to build her own home, start an orchard, purchase livestock and poultry, establish herself in vegetable gardening for Eastern markets, and become a contributing member of her new community.

Janet does, though, experience some difficulties in gaining acceptance in her new community, primarily because she is a rebellious woman. McKowanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel provides valuable testimony to the changing place of women in Canadian society in the early decades of the 20th century, for Janet is an example of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Womanâ&#x20AC;? and an adherent of what she calls the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feminist Cause.â&#x20AC;?

She is a young single woman who wants to be able to do any kind of work of which sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capable, to wear whatever kinds of clothes that make work easier to perform, to purchase and drive her own car, and to make her own decisions about every facet of her life.

First, however, Janet must confront the rather conservative thinking of some members of her community. For example, the assumption is often made that a single woman would only

move to B.C. with the sole intention of finding a husband.

The fact that Janetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property is sided by two bachelor neighbours fuels such rumours, despite the fact that she shows no sign of romantic interest and, instead, spends all of her time and attention on building up her diversified farm.

Janet also challenges the dress codes of her time, as she quite daringly appears in riding breeches while doing â&#x20AC;&#x153;manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workâ&#x20AC;? on her farm. Her behaviour immediately ignites similar desires for comfort, whether in farm work or for riding motorcycles, in many of the younger women of the area and sets off concerns about â&#x20AC;&#x153;propriety.â&#x20AC;?

In addition to providing a good representation of farming culture in this province, McKowanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel takes up other important topics in Canadian and B.C. history. Janet takes place in the summer of 1917, in the midst of the First World War and just after the United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; entry into the conflict. The story illustrates womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role on the home front, patriotic fervour, and the experience of loss and injury that resulted from the war effort.

The author also reflects contemporary attitudes towards both Chinese workers and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Indianâ&#x20AC;? people in the early 20th century.

The novel ends on what appears to be a conservative note: Janet ends up falling in love with and marrying one of those bachelor neighbours, a returned and injured soldier named Capt. Claymore Fenton.

But, even there, McKowan presents us with a challenge to what in 1919 was still a traditional domestic expectation for women in marriage because it is made quite clear that Janetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farming activities will continue and that she will be an equal partner in the relationship.

Plus, the story ends when the couple drive away to start their honeymoon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with Janet at the wheel, of course.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING on Kamloops Northshore

B11

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus What better time than now to revisit this famous editorial that first appeared in the New York Sun in 1897: Dear Editor: I am 8 years old.

Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus.

Papa says, “If you see it in the Sun, it’s so.”

Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?

Virginia O’Hanlon 115 West Ninety-Fifth Street Virginia, your little friends are wrong.

They have been affected by the scepticism of a sceptical age.

They do not believe except what they see.

They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds.

All minds, Virginia,

whether they be men’s or children’s, are little.

In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.

He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy.

Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus!

It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias.

There would be no child-like faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence.

We should have no

enjoyment, except in sense and sight.

The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in Santa Claus!

You might as well

not believe in fairies!

You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what

would that prove?

Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus.

The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see.

Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn?

Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there.

Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.

You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart.

Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond.

Is it all real?

Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

No Santa Claus!

Thank God he lives!

And he lives forever.

A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING on Kamloops Northshore

Help spread the Christmas spirit across North Shore

M

erry Christmas!

A simple phrase of joy and happiness, but one we hear less and less.

The other day, while getting eggnog at Fortune Safeway, an elderly lady bumped into me.

She apologized, as we Canadians do, and my reply was: “Not a problem — and Merry Christmas!”

She looked at me in shock, then replied with joy on her face: “Merry Christmas to you, too!”

It’s a phrase made popular by Charles Dickens in A Christmas Carol. It’s something we see on greeting cards and advertisements.

If you say, “Happy Holidays” instead, that’s fine, too. Just do it.

Let’s show our thanks, joy and warmth as human beings during this festive time.

Say it to your family, friends, neighbours, the

person in line with you, while holding the door for an elder or for a mom with babes in tow.

We are the North Shore.

We are a community that cares.

Let’s put that into overdrive during this time.

There are so many ways to give, whether it’s presents under the Christmas tree bringing laughter and joy to children or donating your time or resources to a worthy cause.

Let’s challenge each

other to find one true way to give this season — for a food bank, for a gift drive or for a fundraiser; by helping the homeless, an orphanage in the developing world or a neighbour shovel their driveway.

Seek out and find a way to give.

Make a habit of caring and bringing joy to the lives of others.

The type of community we build and live in is up to you, the citizen.

Let’s show the world who we are and how much we care.

Make sure you sign up for our popular e-newsletter and follow our Facebook page to stay in touch about our events and initiatives.

We are the North Shore.

Come and see what we are all about.

A: While it might serve two distinct purposes, the B.C. driver’s licence and services card only counts as one form of identification when it comes to voting.

During the recent municipal election, some polling stations accepted the plastic card as the requisite two IDs needed to cast a vote, while others didn’t.

Stephanie Nichols, the city’s deputy corporate officer, said the Local Government Act that sets out the rules on making an election official states two documents must be provided, showing the potential voter’s identity and place of residence.

“As the new combined driver licence/CareCard is one physical card, it was only counted as one document,” Nichols told KTW in an email.

She said if some polling stations accepted it as two, that was done “at the discretion of the presiding election official.”

Santa Claus is coming to town Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice, he’s going to find out who’s naughty and nice because Santa Claus is coming to town.

Good old Saint Nick is coming into Kamloops this Saturday, Nov. 29 for the annual Santa Claus Parade.

Santa and his team of

elves would like to invite everyone in Kamloops and area to come downtown and take part in the holiday festivities. He and 75 of his community friends are busy building their floats, perfecting their performances and getting ready entertain the masses.

“Ho, ho, ho, I love the Once Upon a Time theme this year,” chuckles Santa.

“I hear that our favourite community groups and businesses are going all out this year.

“I can’t wait to be part of such a huge party.”

Santa is right. Some of our community members are really outdoing

themselves with float construction this year.

The honorary grand marshall is Minister of Transportation Todd Stone who, along with his family, will lead the parade.

The Kamloops Heritage Railway is building a miniature train complete with working smoke stack.

Downtown Dialogue Introducing Darcella

Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association Meet Darcella, downtown Kamloops’ newest resident. An import from back east, Darcella is excited to call downtown Kamloops her new home.

Whenever we meet someone who has recently moved to Kamloops we always ask them, “Why Kamloops?” What do you like about it? What drew you here? The most consistent answers include: the lifestyle, the size, the weather and the people.

Lifestyle encompasses easy access to outdoor pursuits and sports of all kinds as well as beautiful surroundings, parks and neighbourhoods.

We are a big enough city to have a vibrant downtown and a rich cultural scene but still small enough to avoid big city traffic and maintain the friendly small city vibe.

In fact, the people of Kamloops are world famous for their friendly, community minded attitude. Throw in the best weather in Canada and who wouldn’t love to live here?

Our new and enthusiastic resident Darcella sure loves Kamloops and chose to make the urban downtown neighbourhood her home.

Darcella is young and hip, walks or bikes around town and with a very outgoing personality she is looking forward to meeting even more friendly Kamloopsians.

As she loves to shop, she is having fun exploring all our downtown boutiques.

Darcella says she is downright excited about the array of restaurants downtown.

“It is truly foodie heaven,” she says.

She’s also having fun experiencing many local activities “Luminocity was very cosmopolitan and I enjoyed the excitement of the 4 Nations Cup hockey games,” she says.

As it turns out, Darcella is so head over heels about downtown Kamloops she has offered to be our spokesmodel. She is now featured in our multimedia marketing campaign for Christmas.

Watch for her on TV, radio, and in local newspapers. Follow her on social media as she scopes out all the fab finds downtown. This will make your Christmas shopping much more fun, exciting and so easy.

Look for the hashtag #dtkfabfinds and follow her on Twitter @dtkamloops. Become Darcella’s friend – you will find it rewarding and maybe even win some fabulous prizes from downtown Kamloops.

She is going to be your BFF as you journey together through the adventure of 28 Days of Giving. Get your shop on!

FASHION, FLAIR, COMFORT LOOK YOUR BEST THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!

Downtown is Massage Therapists Swain and McLean Colette Swain, RMT and lymphedema therapist, is excited to welcome Karen McLean to Kamloops.

“Karen has been a mentor and good friend for many years.

If you ever wondered who massages a Massage Therapist, Karen is my answer. I am thrilled that she has joined my clinic here, not only for my personal motives, but because Kamloops will certainly benefit from her care.”

I have been a Registered Massage Therapist since 2002 Time in Kamloops?

I recently moved here in July 2014.

I worked out of my home as well as an office in town in 100 Mile House.

Why did you get into this business?

I used to get migraines as a kid and went to an RMT to have them treated with great success. I have always enjoyed caring for people and Massage Therapy came naturally to me.

Area of special interest?

I have taken multiple post graduate courses on Muscle Energy Technique which is a non-invasive technique that focuses on proper alignment and movement of the joints of the pelvis, spinal column and ribs.

Something about your business that people don’t know: I have also taken post grad courses on pregnancy massage and would like to start doing some more pre-natal massage now that I am in a bigger center.

How did you meet Colette?

I mentored Colette when she was a student. She did part of a practicum with me at my home based clinic.

We became friends soon after when Colette started her Massage Therapy business in 100 Mile House and now she is my Massage Therapist.

What are your favorite things about Kamloops?

I like that this is a city with a small town feel to it.

People are friendly and everything I need is close by.

The warmer weather is a plus, as well.

What would you say to new customers?

I am starting my practice anew in Kamloops and happy to accept new clientele.

Outside of work?

I am a mom of 3 boys ages 12, 10, and 8. They are all involved in hockey so that keeps us very busy.

Downtown is...

Downtown building turns 100 Kelson Group is proud to announce the 100th anniversary of the GallowayEllis Building located at Fourth Avenue and Victoria Street in Kamloops.

Today, the Galloway-Ellis is home to Kelson Group’s head office. This is one of Kamloops’ finest downtown

brick business blocks. It was built in 1914 by G. W. and R. Godman as an office and commercial building.

A few years previous, the Ellis family had moved to Kamloops from San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake.

The father, W. J. Ellis,

opened a garage and machine shop on Lorne Street which remained in operation until 1982. One of the sons, W.O. Ellis, became a pharmacist and in 1917 formed a partnership with A. Galloway.

They opened an office and pharmacy on the ground floor of the Godmans’ block.

The Galloway-Ellis

Drugstore continued in operation on this site under various owners until 1994.

The name of the business block was changed to the Ellis Block in 1951 when W.O. Ellis bought the building.

This block was built

by Kamloops contractors Johnston & Gill using their own signature bricks. It is

a two-storey building with basement. On the east side, the main entrance is flanked by two large granite Doric columns.

Step back to appreciate the brick frieze and ornamental parapet along the top edge of the building.

Kelson Group is proud to own such a beautiful, historic building.

28 days of giving kicks off Welcome to 28 Days of Giving in downtown Kamloops. This year more than 49 merchants will be giving away more than $7,000 in prizes and gifts to their shoppers.

A way of celebrating the customers who make the downtown core their go-to spot, 28 Days of Giving means getting rewarded for shopping and sharing. The premise is simple. Every time you shop at one of the participating merchants you can enter to win the grand prize draw of $2,000 in downtown gift certificates.

There will also be daily prizes given away, which will be awarded to visitors who share merchants daily #dtkfabfinds or their own fabulous discoveries in any of the participating merchantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stores on their social media networks.

As if it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get better, the whole idea behind 28 Days of Giving is for downtown stores to showcase different offers, products and features throughout the Christmas season.

That means every day there will be a whole new list of sales, promos and deals happening in each of the 49 stores.

The list, which will be uploaded every night at midnight on downtownkamloops.com, is sure to contain some must-haves. You can also opt-in to be automatically alerted of the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special deals by filling out a form on the website, or by texting 28days to 76000.

Jonniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stying Studioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior stylists, Abra Yeomans and Sydney Halvorson, entered an up-do competition on Nov. 21 to raise awareness and funds for Breast Cancer in Kamloops. The competition was hosted by Headhunters Salon and Wellness Centre and took place at the Plaza hotel, where six local stylists competed to create the most unique formal up-do.

Yeomans, Jonniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Styling Studioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up-andcoming stylist, came in first place, with Halvorson right behind her in second place.

The duo of stylists have been apprenticing under owner and master stylist Jonni Yeomans of Jonniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Styling Studio to improve their skills and to become professionals in the industry.

The team at Jonniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has always had a keen interest in giving back to the community through their skills in the art of hair, and this was a great way to continue doing so within the city of Kamloops.

In the month of October, the salon also raised $3,060 for the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation to go towards an improved Breast Health Centre in the city, which will provide more efficient care and research for those affected by breast cancer.

The stylists would like to thank their amazing models for taking the time to come and help make this competition possible, as well as Emily May for taking some great photos of the completed up-dos.

They would also like to thank their fabulous videographer, Luke Laurin, for capturing the entire process from finish to end.

Get Fit, Strong & Slim

BELIEVE YOU CAN™ YOUR FIRST MONTH

�MIN. 2 MONTH PROGRAM�

Downtown is The Art We Are Christina Grono, Owner Length of Ownership: Five and a half years.

Time in Kamloops: Five and a half for the business, personally 30 years.

Why downtown: Because downtown is the funkiest place in Kamloops! It is mostly locally owned businesses, and you can see the creativity of Kamloopsians through the stores they have created.

Did you purchase the business, or start it?

I started it up myself.

Why did you get into this business: I was 24 years old and had this vision of a place that needed to be created here in Kamloops. I originally started it as a local art gallery as I felt Kamloops did not have place where people could shop year round for local art. After a year I decided that the dialogue created within The Art We Are would go hand in hand with delicious food and beverages. We already had the couches and the decor, the food and coffee just made it even cozier for people to stay for as long as they wanted.

Area of Specialization: Home-made food, french press coffees, wide variety of teas, gluten free and vegan options What would you say to your loyal customers: A million thank you’s! You are the beating heart of this business and you have seen us through the bad times and the good times. Thank you for your patience always and for your kind smiles even when we mess up. You are the reason I keep going, you are the community that has given The Art We Are the love it needed to grow. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

We are very excited for you to try our amazing food!

Jonni onni Yeomans Yeomans, Owner Length of ownership: 30 years Time in Kamloops: Born and raised!

Why Downtown?

In any city, the downtown core is the heart of the city.

Downtown is where the city of Kamloops’ rich history and it’s origin really began and I wanted to be a part of that.

Did you purchase the business or start it yourself?

I started this business myself.

Why did you get into this business?

I wanted to create an artistic, advanced, cutting-edge salon.

I wanted to, and still aim to continue to bring the highest quality of cutting, colouring and styling from major international trend setters to the heart of our city. Within my 30 years in the hair industry I continue to educate myself, learn, and grow with my craft in order to keep up with the latest trends and to be more a part of an industry I love.

Area of specialization: At Jonni’s, we specialize in providing our guests with an experience that is truly unique and allows them to escape from their every day lives. Our clients come to a space where they are pampered and given a look that is personalized to meet their needs. We like to make our guests feel like family and show them that we truly care about them and their experience when they come to see us.

What would you say to your loyal customers: Our loyal customers are really like a big family to us. Over the years, we have obtained clients of 3 generations, have made life-long friends, and have learned, laughed and cried alongside many of these people here in the salon. It’s not only about helping them to achieve their look but also about being a special part of their lives. We love you all!

Something about your business that people don’t know: We are currently the only salon in Kamloops that provides professional, certified chemical straightening and texture services. We have also done a myriad of stylized photo-shoots and competitions that have allowed our stylists to showcase their artistic abilities, working with videographers, photographers, and make-up/body artists.

Signature dish: Homemade soups made daily from scratch, they also come with a piece of homemade cornbread or gluten-free vegan cornbread.

has joined a new multidisciplinary clinic

Shout out to: My Art We Are team past and present. They make my mornings brighter, they work so hard and have given so much to this business to make it what it is today. I can’t thank them enough.

Best advice I ever received: As I was hiring new employees for the first time and trying to let go of doing everything, an old employer of mine said to me “ You need to learn that not only will others do things differently than you, they probably will do them better”.

And as I have discovered, he was right.

Jonni’s Styling Studio

What would you say to your new customers: Our new clients are an exciting chance for us to provide them with an experience they’ve never had before, and to transform them into the best version of themselves they can be. We love meeting new clients and can’t wait to welcome them to the salon family.

Something about your business people don’t know: All our food is home-made! Our sauces, soups, baking and so much more! We are also open from 9am until 9pm every day except for Sunday.

Best day at work?

There are so many...probably meeting my future hubby who I met 5 years ago because he was bringing his art into The Art We Are. He believed in me from the first day we met and that support has gotten me to where I am today.

Best day at work: Every day in the salon is a great day. As stylists, we see ourselves as artists and our clients as our canvas. Each day we have the opportunity to create a new masterpiece, and spend time with friends and our family of clients while doing it.

Outside work: Outside of the salon, I love spending time with my family and my puppy Bash. I am passionate about running outdoors, and I love my faith and my church.

Downtown Downtown is... is...

Employee satisfaction equals increased productivity Calum Lloyd Business Development Officer Community Futures Thompson Country Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work place is an ever changing and dynamic environment. It is a cluster of different personalities, varying level of skill sets and experiences, different job delivery expectations and more. Great companies and managers recognize that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to pay attention to staffing issues and strike a cohesive balance between human resources and the business.

Organizational behaviour (OB) is the study of the behaviour and attitudes of people in organizations.

This concept is focused on human work behaviour and attitudes, which contribute to or detract from the effectiveness and productivity of an organization. OB is something that organizations and employers are increasingly focusing on, as managers are facing new challenges.

Human capital is often the leading cost within most companies. Making an investment in your staffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-being is paramount to your bottom line.

Employee job satisfaction has a direct relationship to the quality of work being produced and a happy, satisfied, and challenged employee can make a world of a difference in production.

As the holidays are around the corner, have you thought about showing your appreciation for your companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest asset? Not all incentives have to be monetary, but you should think about having an incentive program in place to support and motivate your employees to achieve excellence and involvement in their roles. Extrinsic rewards are those that the organization provides based on employee performance and effort (e.g. pay raises, promotions). Intrinsic rewards are those that the employee experiences internally as the job or work unfolds (e.g. feelings of competence, pride, determination to excel, etc.).

I would suggest that intrinsic rewards are increasingly more important. The added bonus is that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re typically cost effective for a business owner.

Think about these concepts to promote intrinsic rewards: 1. Demonstrate that you honestly care about your employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; welfare through positive reinforcement.

2. Create opportunities for employees to achieve their personal goals.

3. Modify jobs so employees can experience more intrinsic rewards.

4. Find ways to reward and interact with employees regularly.

5.Set goals with employees and be sure that some of them are personal development goals valued by the employee.

Keep in mind, skilled employees can be motivated further as well by well-timed formal and informal feedback about their work methods and results. What incentives do you provide?
