The end of the chapter for eatery JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

For those who missed one last sopaipilla from Chapters Viewpoint restaurant before it closed, don’t worry — they are just down the hill. Same goes for the Chapters’ salad — and the head chef. Former owner Rob Nordin closed the longtime Sahali restaurant with a view and began yesterday (Jan. 5) as manager of the Kamloops Curling Club (KCC). The restaurant’s 15-year-lease ended in December and the club position was vacant when former manager Paula Williams moved to Chilliwack. The Columbia Street building housing the restaurant needs an update and Nordin said he’s just not all that interested any more. Chapters opened in 1984. “I’d done that for a long, long time,” he said. “It’s just time for a change.” Nordin and his family are immersed in the local curling scene. His four daughters make up the sibling quartet that earned a spot at the 2015 Scotties BC Women’s Curling Championship, with his wife as coach. Nordin curls recreationally on two teams and has been president, has sat the board and has been a member at KCC for more than 20 years. “I’m down here (curling club) probably four to five times a week anyway,” he said.

SNOWPLOWS COULD BE DAYS AWAY ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Residents hoping to see a plow drive by their homes could be waiting days if they live away from the city’s major arterial routes. City of Kamloops public works director Jen Fretz said the city is focusing on main transportation routes throughout Kamloops as snow continued to fall on the Tournament Capital yesterday (Jan. 5). Under normal conditions, Fretz said, the city’s mandate is to plow side streets within a day-and-a-half of a snowfall, but due to the extreme amount of snow

Rare snow day for kids page A4/A5 dumped on the city, it’s likely that timeline will be extended. “The snow hasn’t even stopped yet,” Fretz said late yesterday morning. Up to 35 centimetres of snow fell on Kamloops between Sunday afternoon and yesterday morning, with Environment Canada calling for another 15 centimetres to come down through last night. “We are, in very few cases ,getting to some side streets where there are hills, but people should not expect to have

their roads, their side streets plowed for a number of days, probably” Fretz said. The city had 10 trucks, a sidewalk plow and three graders on the streets as of yesterday and had contracted out for another four graders, two of which were in service. Fretz said the city is looking to contract more graders if it can. “It can move serious amounts of snow and it can move snow from a very wide area, whereas the underbelly plows we have on our dump trucks are not as effective with this amount of snow,” Fretz said.

Fretz added that plowing will result in significant windrows (snow banks, or berms, that are left in front of driveways as the snow is pushed to the sides of the street). It is the responsibility of residents to shovel windrows and Fretz said it is strongly recommended windrows are shovelled as soon as possible before they freeze and are unmovable.

Barnhartvale leads property-value climb ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Property values in Kamloops are holding steady for another year. Most homeowners in the city will see only small changes to the assessed value of their properties when notices from BC Assessment reach their mailboxes in the coming days. Deputy assessor Graham Held said about half of the 25,000 homes in the city will see a zero to five per cent increase in property values, while the rest can expect gains of up to 10 per

cent, or decreases of up to five per cent. Barnhartvale saw the largest increase in average property value, with assessments rising about $24,000 on average, to $391,000. Second-highest was Valleyview, where average home assessments rose $20,000 to $498,000. But, Held said, rates were fairly consistent across the city. “There weren’t really any hot spots to point to to say that one neighbourhood or one property type was more attractive than others,” Held said. “It was really balanced right across the board.”

The numbers are in line with assessments for the last two years in Kamloops. Held said his organization feels confident in its Kamloops numbers because of steady sales volume in the region. In the area, sales were up from 1,526 in 2013 to 1,640 in 2014. “It’s the sales that drive the assessments,” Held said. “They tell us what the market’s doing.” Commercial values are also up this year, with property owners seeing changes of up to 15 per cent. In the region, Held said Sun Peaks saw a slight

stronger positive territory than the city of Kamloops, and we had a lot more sales than we’ve ever had,” he said. “It seems to be that Chase maybe was discovered.” Home assessments will come into play as the city calculates its tax rates for 2015. So far, residents are looking at a tax hike just below two per cent, though it has yet to address supplemental expenses. Should the figure remain the same when the tax rate is set in April, an average home, assessed at $343,000, will see a tax increase of about $35.

upturn in values in the new assessments. “I’m not seeing as many negatives in Sun Peaks, and that may speak to the greater economy, because that tends to be a secondary home-type market,” he said. “Folks who are buying up in Sun Peaks, it’s a second home, typically.” While Kamloops is generally the region’s strongest market, with other communities seeing flat or decreasing property values, Held said the village of Chase, with its 1,400 properties, had an unusually strong year. “Chase was actually in

A chronic prohibited driver who struck and killed a woman in a downtown Kamloops crosswalk while driving without a licence has had his appeal hearing pushed back. Donald Charles Isadore was convicted of failing to yield to a pedestrian following a trial in Kamloops provincial court last year. Largely because of his long history of ignoring driving prohibitions, he was sentenced to six months in jail. Isadore, 64, was arrested after pedestrian Valerie Brook was struck and killed in the crosswalk at Sixth Avenue and Victoria Street on Nov. 21, 2012.

Brook, 66, was walking across Victoria Street on a green light while Isadore was turning left from Sixth Avenue toward Lake City Casino. At the time of the crash, Isadore — who has never held a valid driver’s licence but has a record of driving infractions dating back to 1986 — was bound by multiple driving prohibitions and suspensions. He is appealing his six-month sentence on the grounds his native background was not properly considered. The appeal hearing had been slated to take place yesterday (Jan. 5)

in B.C. Supreme Court. It has been moved to Feb. 10.

Jury selected in murder trial

Jurors have been selected to hear the second trial stemming from a fatal Lytton stabbing in 2008. Cory Bird’s murder trial is slated to get underway in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Jan. 19. Jurors were selected yesterday. The verdict of a previous trial was appealed and Bird has been ordered to stand trial again.

A RARE SNOW DAY FOR KAMLOOPS KIDS CAM FORTEMS, DALE BASS, ANDREA KLASSEN

AND TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTERS

Thompson Rivers University and all public and private elementary schools in Kamloops were closed yesterday (Jan. 5) due to the twoday snowstorm that dumped between 40 and 50 centimtres of white stuff on the city. The day off due to snow is believed to be

the first such closure of public schools in Kamloops in decades. Kamloops-Thompson school district Supt. Karl deBruijn will be keeping an eye on the weather to decide if Kamloopsarea schools will remain closed today. Updates will be posted online at sd73.bc.ca.

DeBruijn said in his 37 years working in the district, snow has never forced closure of all schools. “There have been individual school closures for a variety of reasons, but not a systemwide closure,” he said. “It was a difficult decision because we realize how inconvenient is for everyone — and that is why we waited

until this morning.” DeBruijn said the district’s transportation manager made it to the bus depot by 6 a.m. yesterday, but had a challenge getting there. “Many of our bus drivers were having difficulty getting to their buses to start their routes,” he said. School-district buses travel more than 9,0000 kilometres every school day, often on secondary and tertiary roads that, as of 5:30 a.m. yesterday, had not been plowed. That reality, along with a concern for the safety of students, teachers, school-board staff and others on the road, led to the closure decision. “Our teachers live throughout the geographic area and would have difficulty getting to the schools,” de Bruijn said. “For example, teachers may work in Logan Lake or Barriere, but live in Kamloops or live in one part of town and teach in another. In either of these situations, it would be difficult to ensure they all made it safely to work.” DeBruijn said he was also concerned parents and students could be injured in car accidents or parents trying to get their kids to school would further clog the roads, making it harder to clear them.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Kamloops crews struggled to keep up with the falling flakes. The city said the intense storm will mean a longer-than-usual delay in getting plows to clear secondary residential streets.

No. 8, which services Battle Street West and Grandview Terrace, was out of commission yesterday. Route No. 14, which serves Batchelor Heights, also saw somewhat reduced service as the bus covering the route could not reach the highest-elevation stops and turned back early. Burton said most routes were about 10 minutes behind schedule. “It’s a bit of a blessing that there were no school trippers today and no TRU,” she said.

Highway havoc

It’s good for road crews, but the loose, dry snow blanketing the region poses visibility issues for drivers, an official with the provincial Ministry of Transportation warned. Mike Lorimer, the ministry’s regional director for the Southern Interior, said contractors had cleared most of region’s

highways by yesterday morning, though some smaller, rural roadways might still need more attention. “From the highways perspective, I think things are looking OK,” he said. “Luckily it’s a good, dry snow. It’s not like when it’s zero degrees and it goes straight to ice. We’re not getting that.” Ministry contractors pulled in extra staff to keep up with the volume of snow, but Lorimer said for drivers the concern isn’t so much driving over the snow as trying to see through it. “It’s a drier, lighter snow, so it gets kicked up,” he said. “The visibility isn’t great. The biggest issue is not so much the traction as it is the ability to see where you’re going, see the vehicles coming at you.” He encouraged motorists to check DriveBC.ca for updates on road conditions and to take their time

on Interior highways or consider alternate routes. Lorimer said the ministry is equipped to handle the storm for its full duration. “The guys are on the road 24/7 and they’ll be laying down sand to keep the traction and going full bore until she lets up,” he said.

Keep shovel handy

By mid-morning yesterday, the snow was piling up to be just short of a record — with more forecast to come. “Don’t give up with the shovelling,” warned Environment Canada meteorologist Lisa Coldwells. A total of 31 centimetres piled up at Kamloops Airport. That compares to a record 24-hour snowfall of 34 centimetres set on Jan. 7, 1962. Coldwells noted snowfall was higher east in the valley at Pritchard, where a reported 36 centimetres of the white

LOCAL NEWS CITY OF KAMLOOPS ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENTS PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE The Council of the City of Kamloops hereby gives notice that it will hold a Public Hearing: TIME: PLACE:

January 13, 2015, at 7:00 pm City Hall Council Chambers (7 Victoria Street West, Kamloops, BC)

to consider the following proposed amendments to City of Kamloops Zoning Bylaw No. 5-1-2001: 1.

stuff fell. Higher elevations in the city also see typically higher snowfalls than what is recorded at the airport. All that snow meant cancellation of four flights at Fulton Field on Sunday due to poor visibility. An overnighter that was scheduled to land Sunday was not available for yesterday’s morning flight out of the airport. “We had surface open, but it was visibility issues with the intensity of the storm,” airport manager Fred Legace said. “We got all our flights in and out this morning [yesterday].” Snow was forecasted to continue through last night, with as much as 20 more centimetres accumulating. Coldwells said the storm was expected to peter out by midnight last night, with only the occasional flurry expected today. The storm was a result of a wet and warm front moving over cold Arctic air trapped in val-

ley bottoms. That warm front is expected raise temperatures close to zero Celsius for the rest of the week, with little risk of snow.

Few crashes

Despite the massive dump of snow, Kamloops Mounties say there were a surprisingly low number of crashes on city streets. “It actually hasn’t been that bad,” Kamloops RCMP Const. Jason Epp told KTW yesterday morning. “We have only had seven reported collisions.” Epp said five of those accidents resulted in damage over $1,000 and two under $1,000. Mounties only respond to collisions resulting in more than $1,000 in damage or injuries, or crashes that block traffic. Epp urged drivers to use common sense behind the wheel. “If you can avoid driving until they get the snowplows out, great,”

he said. “If you do have to drive, just be aware that you may have to take alternate routes.” According to Epp, Kamloops Mounties are preparing to deal with more collisions in the coming days as drivers deal with slick streets.

Snow good news

While Kamloops schools were closed, stores understaffed and services delayed due to the near-record-setting snowfall, it was business as usual yesterday in Sun Peaks. “Things are looking really good here,” said Brandi Schier, spokeswoman for Sun Peaks Resort. “We’ve got 35 centimetres in the last 24 hours and it’s still snowing.” Due to a power outage early in the day, Sun Peaks had just four of its lifts running on reserve power until yesterday afternoon. Despite that, she said, skiers were thrilled with conditions.

“The snow’s the perfect consistency,” Schier said. “It’s a pretty epic day.” Schier said the dump of snow is one of the biggest she can recall in recent years. “Sun Peaks is blessed in the way that we don’t need a 30-centimetre day but, as far as this goes, we get a couple of them a year,” she said. “But, this is a big day for us.”

Rob Medves was a gentle giant. The general manager of Cactus Jack’s Night Club was in better physical shape than most. He earned the title of Kamloops Strongman in the past and filled the doorway at the downtown venue. It came as a surprise to family, friends and the community when he died on Sunday, Jan. 4, of a heart attack while shovelling snow at his Kamloops home, just two days after his 46th birthday. “It’s unbelievable. It’s shocking,� said Tammy Baron, one of the owners of Cactus Jack’s Night Club. “He was such an amazing man . . . . He was just the warmest, most sincere guy. It’s just heartbreaking, sincerely heartbreaking.� Baron not only worked alongside Medves behind the scenes of the downtown bar, she also grew up with him. Baron remembers his soft voice and the way he spoke, describing Medves as warm — so much so that she couldn’t even picture him yelling, despite his

role at the bar. “He was just such a warm soul,� she said. “He was just amazing every day.� Friend, colleague and Kammerce Promotions promoter Drew McLean echoed Baron’s sentiment. “He was intimidating to look at, but he had a big smile and tremendously big heart, genuine soul,� McLean said. Medves and McLean worked together to bring about a dozen shows to the downtown venue last year, with the most recent being The Trews on Dec. 1. But, the two go back a lot further — about 25 years or so — both being “Kamloops boys,� McLean said.

They would have met at Dukes, the old bar in the basement of the Plaza Hotel, or perhaps at Ned Kelly’s before it became a liquor store in Brocklehurst. Medves worked in various capacities in bars throughout the city — from bartending to manning the door — until his most recent job managing Cactus Jack’s on Fifth Avenue. He was in charge behind the scenes — from the look of the bar, to staffing, to advertising and marketing, to filling orders. While patrons partied, Medves could be found in the office behind the video cameras. “People didn’t necessarily know he was

in the club, but he was always watching,� McLean said. Medves leaves behind longtime girlfriend Erin, son Trey — who works at Cactus Jack’s — brother Larry and his mother. Then, there’s his other family, many of whom gathered together at the bar following news of his death. “A lot of his staff was adopted family. He took them under his wing — he was that guy,� McLean said. Dino Bernardo, co-owner of the Commodore Grand Cafe and Lounge, said the nightclub scene in Kamloops is a tight-knit community, noting he and Medves would often collaborate rather than compete. “We’ve all been friends,� he said. “There’s a lot of people with heavy hearts right now.� Condolences for Medves have been pouring in online. Dixie Smeeton wrote a memorial post on his Facebook wall and later told KTW she met Medves in the early 1990s, when he was still bartending. She said she had only been to Cactus Jack’s a handful of times, but was “always welcomed with a hug when he was there.� He was the kind of guy she knew from his years of experience in the Kamloops bar scene, but also someone you could run into in the community and exchange friendly hellos. Someone else on Facebook described an incident when Medves stopped them from driving home when they shouldn’t have. “You reached in and grabbed my keys, saving my ass from a big mistake. You said to me, ‘Don’t go ruining your life by driving drunk.’ You then told me to sleep it off. I’ll never forget that, Rob.� Some people have written online posts under the hashtag #mrkamloops — an appropriate slug, according to McLean. “He took care of everybody.�

Former MP Don Cameron dies at 96

Don Cameron served as MP for KamloopsShuswap from May 1979 to February 1980. “He was always reading the financial papers and, once a month, he’d send things to my office, information he thought I should know,� Kamloops-Thompson MP Cathy McLeod said.

PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE DEFEATED LIBERAL LEN MARCHAND IN 1979; FELL TO NEW DEMOCRAT NELSON RIIS IN 1980 DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Cathy McLeod was first elected to Parliament, she soon learned that Don Cameron was watching. “He was always reading the financial papers and, once a month, he’d send things to my office, information he thought I should know,� the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP said of the man who served a term representing the city in the late 1970s. Cameron, 96, died on Dec. 29 in Kamloops. McLeod said she has other memories of Cameron who, like her, belonged to the Conservative party

— although, when he was elected in 1979 to the short-lived Joe Clark government, it was known as the Progressive Conservative party. Cameron succeeded Liberal MP Len Marchand on May 22, 1979, and was defeated by the NDP’s Nelson Riis on Feb. 18, 1980. “He was very solid in his belief every veteran should have a proper gravestone,� McLeod said, noting the Second World War veteran would scour area cemeteries and research to identify those who lacked one and send the information to McLeod’s office to be addressed. Three years ago, Cameron flew to Ottawa to attend a Conservative conven-

tion and was recognized as the oldest attendee there. Two years ago, Cameron was awarded a Diamond Jubilee Medal. Cameron was sent to Europe in 1942 as a sergeant. During one battle, he was hit by a sniper just above his knee and, although he hid in brush and twigs to avoid capture, was discovered when a German soldier passing by almost stepped on him. He was taken as a prisoner of war to a Paris hospital and held for 17 days until allied forces arrived in the city and liberated it. A memorial service was held on Saturday, Jan. 3, at Schoening’s Funeral Home, on Seymour Street.

DO YOUR PART: CONTAIN SPREAD

T

here was a time when entire communities were seriously impacted by the effects of communicable diseases. Outbreaks of the flu and common cold throughout the beginning of the 20th century could force entire towns to curtail public events to try to contain their spread. Headlines in community newspapers at that time tell not only of the cancellation of festivals and sporting events, but of the resulting deaths that came from such outbreaks. As medical research and advancements in public education and treatment were made, the impact of illness has been greatly reduced. Today, we generally see reports of increased cases of flu, colds or other illnesses, but nothing on the scale of mass outbreaks of what are considered to be rare diseases these days. That’s why it’s unusual to see cases of mumps, measles and whooping cough make headlines now — especially the recent incidents of mumps suffered by professional hockey players. There are generations of people who contracted mumps as children, once a common childhood illness, and reports are rare of outbreaks among the adult population. Immunization has helped to reduce such outbreaks — and has helped prevent large-scale spreads of communicable disease. There is a concern about the rising complacency among people when it comes to inoculations against disease. Fewer outbreaks can lead to less awareness and concern and, perhaps, fewer people getting immunized. It has caused enough concern that health-care facilities are providing masks to wear for people who have not received a flu shot. We aren’t telling people to rush out and get a needle. But, we urge people to think not only about how medical advancement has, for the most part, kept large-scale outbreaks at bay, but about how your decisions can impact your community. There’s a reason we aren’t seeing serious outbreaks today. Learn more by speaking with your doctor.

Let’s bring ice to Riverside

N

ow it can be told: I voted against the Tournament Capital program. In 2003, the rest of the city approved a referendum to borrow about $38 million. That funding was to construct the field house on the South Shore, along with a second sheet of ice and upgrades to diamonds and fields on McArthur Island. At the time, it looked to me largely like a gift to Thompson Rivers University from the city taxpayer — a gym for TRU athletics and students that should have been funded by the province. The second sheet on Mac Island looked like a crumb thrown in to garner votes from the North Shore. Since then, I’ve ran on the track; watched Brad Gunter hang in the air before slamming a spike for TRU volleyball; seen my nephew put the puck in the top shelf at the Olympic rink for the Storm; skated there with all my kids; and stood in the third-base coach’s box on a peewee diamond, staring up and waiting — thousand one, thousand two, thousand three — as home run balls arced up and over the fence. The greater benefit, though, is the new expectation. I’ve heard parents and coaches complain the gym at South Kamloops secondary, for example, isn’t up to Tournament Capital standards, even though it’s not a city asset. The maintenance standards at soccer pitches and baseball diamonds where I’ve spent a lot

of time since are meticulous. Out-of-town parents gape in wonder. Even lightly used tennis courts in suburban neighbourhoods — I’m thinking particularly of Rose Hill — are not left to languish, but are painted, lined and well-maintained. I think of all this as another referendum looms, this time for a performing-arts centre. That referendum is now expected to be in front of voters in November. My request to our newly elected city council is for a facility that is simpler, cheaper and one that would be used by far more people — an outdoor rink. Fortunately, the city’s parks, recreation and cultural services director, Byron McCorkell, has a vision. Unfortunately, talk of an outdoor sheet dates back 20 years with no progress. Notably, a sheet was pondered at the Plaza Suites on Lorne Street almost 20 years ago. Later, McCorkell told me, there was some talk within his

department of an outdoor ice sheet near the current skateboard park on McArthur Island, suitable because it would be near the ice plant. The latest plan — it’s a stretch to call it that because it’s no more than an idea after all these years — is to add a skating rink to Riverside Park This is where it gets interesting. McCorkell envisions an oval to hold a 400-metre loop able to host speed-skating competitions. Along with it would be a track of trails that wend and curve through the park. Oh yeah — and Crashed Ice. Crashed Ice, as sponsored by energy-drink maker Red Bull, sees skaters racing on a track with serious changes in elevation. McCorkell said a trail in Riverside, in addition to twisting through the trees, could track up and down on elevations within the park. I’m thinking the city’s liability manager would not think Crashed Ice a great name for the facility. But, after decades of doing nothing, the foundation may finally be laid with planned upgrade of the aging washroom facility at Riverside Park — with a small ice plant beside it. Some time later, the tubes to create ice along the track could be buried. While a serious budget has never been done, the ballpark estimate is $1 million. Let’s ponder that number when projections for the proposed arts centre come out later this year. cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR THE NAME GAME For the second straight year, and the fourth time in five years, Olivia was the top name for girls born in B.C. in 2013, according to the Vital Statistics Agency. Liam reclaimed the number one spot for baby boys, replacing Ethan, which was tops in 2012, after edging out Liam the previous year.

TOP 10 BOYS’ NAMES 1. Liam (265 boys) 2. Mason (248) 3. Ethan (234) 4. Lucas (219) 5. Benjamin (215)

WELCOME TO THE WORLD, LUMEN RADIANCE!

1. Olivia (284 girls) 2. Emma (250) 3. Sophia (219) 4. Emily (189) 5. Ava (181)

6. Chloe (152) 7. Charlotte (151) 8. Ella (151) 9. Avery (125) 10. Hannah (125)

It was nearly a 24-hour process for mom Amy, but Lumen Radiance French eventually arrived at 5:55 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 1, at Royal Inland Hospital to become Kamloops’ first birth of the year. Lumen’s father, Brad, told KTW it was the best start to a year he can remember. Lumen, who weighed in at seven pounds, three ounces, is the couple’s first child. Both Amy and Brad are nurses at RIH.

TRUCKS STILL DANGEROUS ISSUE ON HIGHWAY 5A Editor: On Jan. 2 at 1:30 p.m., as I was returning north on Highway 5A on a sharp curve just past the houses overlooking Napier Lake at the south end, a logging truck heading south roared into sight, going way too fast. Nearly half the truck was on my side of the road and the driver was heading straight for me. I had to make a fast correction to the right and, luckily, there was enough room and I didn’t end up in the lake. We missed colliding by a foot or two. As readers may recall, it was snowing

on Jan. 2 and the roads had not yet been plowed or treated. I reported this incident to Merritt RCMP as soon as I got home 20 minutes later. I had to react so quickly to save my life that I didn’t get the licence-plate number or any identifying indicators. I only know the driver was hauling a big load of logs. For the most part, trucks are driving Highway 5A with more caution and care than a few years ago. I think the additional commercial police vehicles have helped. This is the first time I can recall having to take evasive action on a B.C. highway.

There is probably nothing Transportation Minister Todd Stone nor the RCMP can do in this situation. I want them to know trucks can still be incredibly dangerous on Highway 5A and truck drivers can still be irresponsible and put lives at risk. Highway 5A is narrow, with many twists, ups and downs and so many lakes without barricades. The problem of trucks is not yet solved. Paula Pick Knutsford

HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE TORTURE

W

hy has it ever even bothered me that so many people have been kidnapped and illegally rendered to CIA dark sites to be sometimes tortured to death or tortured and held for years without any legitimate legal process? That the use of “intelligence” information obtained from torture, known to be mostly unreliable and useless, is now the norm for the supposedly civilized Western nations of the world? That U.S. President and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Barack Obama reportedly sits in regular highlevel meetings to examine a kill list of candidates and determines who will be the next bug splat on a video screen, then jokes about how the drones make him “really good at killing people”? That the evolved and ongoing George W. Bush/ Dick Cheney coalition of the killing has successfully established the right to unilaterally invade and occupy any weaker sovereign nation in the world — a scenario Adolf Hitler could only have hoped for in his wildest dreams — slaughtering hundreds of thousands of civilians in the process, without any legal repercussions whatsoever? That the omniscient, faceless spooks — ever ready to pounce — are likely monitoring my emails, my phone conversations, my financial details and my personal life? That these very words may be implicating me even as I type, in some yet-to-be-defined threat to national-security agencies of Big Brother? It’s not that they are bad people. After all, they are the good guys. They are Christian capitalists, men fully entitled to reach out via drone-delivery systems or whatever and share some of the more poignant benefits of Western democracy with the unenlightened, dark-skinned masses of the world, doingg so in myy name,, usingg myy money. So what if these guys” thes “good g have dredged up and put into play almost alm most every eve reprehensible reprehensiible desecrades tion of civilized civvilized human h behaviour behaviou ur known to the world d — with crucifixion being a posb p sible exception. excception.

Canadian citizen and Kamloops resident John McNamer was awarded a Bronze Star Medal for service with the U.S. Army’s 4th Infantry Division in Vietnam. He recently filed a request to the chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, asking for an investigation of Canada’s complicity in torture, which is now being actively considered by prosecutors. McNamer’s request can be found online at: http://tinyurl.com/lf7tb4f.

I realize now it doesn’t matter. These things just have to be done. There is no particular reason. They just have to be done. So, in the spirit of true patriotism and selfpreservation, I hereby announce my complete surrender to the new realities. It’s actually for my own good. I need to be quiet now and placidly carry on with daily routines. I’m a simple-minded country boy who doesn’t understand the complexities. It’s just the way it is. Remembering that God and the National Security Agency do work in mysterious ways, I accept it’s all for the best, for the greater good. And it has become quite clear my resistance has been mainly a personal problem. I readily admit I was once so confused before the reprogramming. For example, I used to think that when a strong elected leader like der Fuhrer claimed the right to use massive military might to invade and occupy other countries at will, to assassinate and summarily execute in the name of national security, it was a bad thing that must be stopped by all the good people — even if it took a world war to do so. That when the Nazis randomly kidnapped certain kinds of people and rendered them to covert concentration camps to be tortured and killed or held indefinitely without legal process, it was atrocious, illegal, immoral — adding up to crimes against humanity. That when the Chinese communists in Korea and the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia used water torture as their primary warped way of dehumanizing, brainwashing and destroying suspected opponents, this was the horrifying and depraved result of godless authoritarian communist ideology, an ideology that absolutely must be stopped at all costs, even if it were to take a nuclear holocaust (yes, it was bad enough that we found it necessary to step up and prepare to destroy the world in order to save it). That the Stalin-era, Guantanamo-type gulags and ridiculous show trials with fixed outcomes for perceived enemies of the state were despicable icons of the worst form of governance possible. That the massive unrestrained surveillance states forced on their citizenry by the Soviet KGB and the East German Stasi were an intolerable assault on the dignity of “free” people everywhere. “Ich bin ein Berliner!” But, that’s all in the past for me. I’m a changed man and I have seen the light. I get it now. The resistance is gone. What’s happening is what’s happening and it’s important to be part of team play as we go forward. Covert rendition and torture, illegal invasion and occupation, summary executions from on high, mass surveillance of everything about everyone. They are all good. Period. At some very deep mystical level, it is apparently all about loving thy neighbour as thyself, or it certainly wouldn’t be happening this way, would it? As proof that I’m serious, I even have a new mantra printed on a T-shirt carefully saved in the closet for those special events demanding the utmost in political correctness: “Kill for Peace, War Forever.” Hallelujah!

THE TOP FIVE BEST LOOKING CARS, EVER ROB SASS

DRIVEWAY

T

here’s nothing more subjective than the looks of

a car. Choose your cliché — “Nobody’s baby is ugly” or “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” — there’s an element of truth to all of them, and it’s tricky territory to wade into. This list isn’t meant to be the be-all endall, just the highly subjective opinions of one writer on a Friday afternoon.

Muscle Car 19701971 Pontiac Firebird Formula

This one is likely to generate a fair bit of controversy, with so many fantastic muscle cars to choose from, picking just one is impossible. First- and secondgeneration Camaros, nearly any Chevelle, E-body Mopar cars, Cougar Eliminators, AMC’s Javelin, Boss 302s, GTOs all have stellar looks. But, that secondgeneration Firebird, specifically, the 455 Formula. Yeah, we know that the TransAm was at the top of the heap performance-wise,

but its looks veer just a little bit over-the-top for some. The Formula, on the other hand, with its twin hood scoops, looks just right from every angle to most eyes. The Pontiac Firebird Formula might just be one of the prettiest American cars ever.

Sports Car (Coupe) 1962-1964 Ferrari 250 GTO

The 250 GTO is less of a car and more of a perfectly harmonious amalgam of every cool styling device available to someone designing a car in the early 1960s. From the strategically placed curves, Borrani wire wheels, glasscovered headlights and multiple vents and air scoops, to the fastback roofline that ends in an abrupt Kamm-style tail with the faintest hint of a ducktail spoiler, the 250 GTO is drop-dead gorgeous from every angle. It’s no wonder that to buy one of the 39 originals, you’re looking at $50 million or more. Yep, that’s right — 50, 5-0.

Sports Car (Convertible) 19611967 Jaguar E-Type As legend goes, the

E-Type was so pretty that it made Enzo Ferrari weep when he saw it for the first time in Geneva in 1961. That’s saying a lot, given the fact that it was rare for Enzo to fog his Ray-Bans even when one of his drivers bought it on the track while racing for Scuderia Ferrari. The first series of the E-Type was the purest, with covered headlights and tiny tail lamps above the rear bumpers. The Museum of Modern Art has deemed the E-Type to be rolling sculpture.

Station Wagon 1955-1957 Chevrolet Nomad

It’s tough to make a really pretty station wagon, but Chevy created one for the ages with the two-door Nomad wagon. No desire to wade into the ’55 vs. ’57 debate. All three years of the “tri-five” Nomad are gorgeous.

American Four Door Sedan 1961-1963 Lincoln Continental

In addition to being one of the prettiest, the 1961 Continental may be the coolest sedan of all time. Oozing with “Mad Men” and rat pack

The 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO has every cool styling device from 1960s car designs. Those looking to purchase one of the 39 original models must be willing to open up their wallets for the $50-million pricetag.

swagger and “suicide” doors that open opposite to each other, the car still shows up with regularity in movies and TV shows whenever something over-thetop cool is required. The first few model years, with the “electric shaver foil” grille are cool.

BROWN DOES IT AGAIN

KAMLOOPS RINK CLAIMS B.C. CROWN, BOOKS TICKET TO NATIONALS ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

head 4-0 after five ends at the Tim Hortons BC Junior Women’s Curling Championship, Corryn Brown had to focus on staying in the moment. With thoughts of victory, a trip to Newfoundland and avenging her only round-robin loss attempting to flood her mind, the Kamloops skip concentrated on making one shot at a time, winning one end after the next. It’s a strategy that worked. When the last rock was thrown in Parksville on Saturday, Jan. 3, Brown stood victorious, having led her Kamloops Curling Club rink to an 8-2 victory over Sarah Daniels and her Lower Mainland rink and a return to the Canadian junior championship. “It feels really great,” Brown told KTW. “Since we had a bit of an upset last year, it feels really great to be back and representing B.C.” The Paul Henderson rink of Vancouver Island edged Cody Tanaka’s Abbotsford team 9-8 to win the junior men’s title on Saturday.

Deven Sideroff of the Kamloops Blazers scored the shootout winner against the Vancouver Giants at Interior Savings Centre on Saturday, Jan. 3.

Blazers back in win column CURL BC PHOTO

Corryn Brown, Erin Pincott, Samantha Fisher and Sydney Fraser cruised to an 8-2 victory over Sarah Daniels and her Lower Mainland rink in the BC Junior Women’s Curling Championship in Parksville on Saturday, Jan. 3. The win marked the Kamloops Curling Club rink’s second junior provincial championship victory.

Brown and Henderson will represent the province at the 2015 M&M Meat Shops Canadian Junior Curling Championships in Corner Brook, N.L., from Jan. 24 to Feb.1. It will be the second time the Kamloops rink has donned the B.C. blue and white at the national championship. The team won the women’s B.C. junior crown in 2013 and went on to claim the national championship, cementing a spot at the world junior championship in Sochi, Russia, where it placed ninth. The Kamloops quarter — skip Brown, third Erin Pincott, second Samantha Fisher and lead Sydney Fraser, all 19 — made it to the provincial junior final in 2014, but lost 7-6 in

extra ends to Kalia Van Osch of Nanaimo. The game on Saturday was a chance for Brown and Co. to erase their only roundrobin loss, which came against the undefeated Daniels rink. Brown entered the playoff round 6-1, while Daniels was 7-0. Daniels advanced straight to the championship final by virtue of her record, while Brown played and won a semifinal game against Mariah Coloumbe and her Victoria/Juan de Fuca rink. “We were all really confident. We knew we had the team to do it,” Brown said. “We just started off really strong and got a couple steals really early, so we got to a little bit of a lead and

just kept it going. We executed our game plan every end.” Brown led throughout Saturday’s final, stealing singles in the second, third, fourth and fifth ends after the teams blanked the first. With Brown ahead 4-0, the Daniels rink got on the board with a single in the sixth, but the Kamloops rink answered with three in the seventh to put the game out of reach. Brown said the team was able to capitalize on mistakes made by the Daniels rink to get the victory. “We tried to make them throw the toughest shots they could,” she said. “Obviously, we didn’t have the greatest game against them in the round-robin, but that

just gave us more fire to play even better in the final.” Brown is coached by two-time B.C. Scotties and B.C. junior women’s champion Allison MacInnes. The skip said she expects the national championship to be a different experience in 2015 — she and her teammates are older, stronger and more experienced than they were when they won in 2013. Brown believes they have a good shot at winning another national title. And, on a personal note, Brown is excited to be visiting Newfoundland, fulfilling a life-long dream. “I’m excited to get into the culture of it,” she said.

Two points must have felt like a godsend to the Kamloops Blazers. After blowing a third-period lead against the WHLleading Kelowna Rockets on Friday, Jan. 2, the Blazers were able to scrape and claw their way to a 3-2 shootout victory over the Vancouver Giants on Saturday. “It was huge for us to get back on track,” Blazer forward Deven Sideroff said. Victory nearly evaded Kamloops again on Saturday, with Josh Thrower of the visiting Giants scoring to tie the game 2-2 late in the third period. “We were thinking, once they tied it up, we’re not going to let them come back and get a couple more like

Kelowna did,” said Sideroff, whose team has two wins in its last 10 games. “We’re going to stick to our game and outwork them.” Netminder Connor Ingram, who played one of his best games to date, shut the door in overtime and made three saves in the shootout to help get the Blazers over the hump. The goaltender from Imperial, Sask., stopped 43 shots in regulation and overtime play. Sideroff and Jake Kryski scored in the shootout. Sideroff and Matt Revel notched goals in regulation. When Thrower tied the game on Saturday, there must have been plenty of tense Blazers’ fans on Mark Recchi Way, considering what happened a night earlier.

Kamloops was leading 4-2 and on the power play on Friday when Kelowna forward Gage Quinney scored short-handed at 8:37 of the third period. Less than two minutes later, Blazers’ forward Luke Harrison was assessed a five-

minute major and a game misconduct for a hit on Devante Stephens behind the Rockets’ net. Cole Linaker and Nick Merkley scored on the ensuing power play to sink the Blazers and Tyson Baillie sealed a 6-4 win with an emptynet marker.

Officiating prompted conversation and consternation all season in the NFL, so why should the playoffs — particularly the pass interference call that was, then suddenly wasn’t, in the Cowboys’ wild-card win over the Lions — be any different? There’s actually something ironic about such a ruckus raised by what wound up being a no-call, given that the competition committee’s extra emphasis on, and rewording of, rules governing defensivebackfield play led to an increase in flags. There was one more penalty per game this season than a year ago and the highest rate since 2005, according to STATS. The numbers are skyrocketing in the playoffs: The first four games averaged 13.5

calls, compared to 7.8 from wild-card weekend last season, STATS said. In the NFC, Dallas beat Detroit 24-20 and Carolina eliminated Arizona 27-16. In the AFC, Indianapolis defeated Cincinnati 26-10 and Baltimore beat Pittsburgh 30-17. On Sunday, Jan. 4, in Dallas, Detroit was leading 20-17 and facing third-and-1 with about 8 1/2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, when Cowboys linebacker Anthony Hitchens was flagged while covering Brandon Pettigrew. “Pass interference,’’ referee Pete Morelli intoned. “Automatic

first down.’’ About 15 seconds later, and with no explanation, Morelli announced, “There is no foul on the play.’’ On Fox’s broadcast, announcer Joe Buck said: “Boy, that was late.’’ Then, addressing former head of NFL officiating Mike Pereira, Buck asked, “You ever seen that call picked up that late?’’ Pereira replied, “Not at all.’’ Later, Pereira said: “I still strongly believe that was not a good pickup of a flag.’’ Afterward, Morelli said the back judge threw a flag, prompting the initial announcement. The change came because the head linesman then said there wasn’t enough contact to warrant a penalty. Another tidbit: Dallas’ Dez Bryant was not penalized for leaving the sideline without a helmet to approach an official and dispute the initial call.

When play resumed, the Lions shanked a punt. Then they were whistled twice for defensive penalties, gave up a 21-yard pass from Tony Romo to Jason Witten on fourthand-6, and let Dallas score the go-ahead TD. “I don’t ever think it comes down to one call,’’ Detroit coach Jim Caldwell said, “but calls are crucial during games like this.’’ In case you missed it, here are other top topics after the NFL’s wild-card weekend: AFC: Baltimore is at New England on Saturday, Jan. 10; Indianapolis is at Denver on Sunday. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco might only have one Super Bowl trophy to New England counterpart Tom Brady’s three, but Flacco has won at Foxborough twice in the playoffs. Plus, check out Flacco’s numbers over his past five post-sea-

son games: 13 TDs, zero interceptions. One storyline will dominate the other game: Denver QB Peyton Manning against the team he led to a Super Bowl championship and the guy who replaced him in Indy, Andrew Luck. Luck was superb against the Bengals, going 31 of 44 for 376 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions. NFC: Carolina is at the reigning Super Bowl champion Seahawks on Saturday; Dallas is at Green Bay on Sunday. Two terrific defences will meet in Seattle, while the offences will get attention in the Cowboys’ first postseason game at the Packers since the 1967 Ice Bowl. Romo and Dallas went 8-0 on the road in the regular season; Packers QB Aaron Rodgers hasn’t thrown an interception at home since December 2012.

THEASSOCIATED PRESS

Two prospects from the U.S. Ski Team were killed in an avalanche yesterday (Jan. 5) while skiing near their European training base in the Austrian Alps. The U.S. ski team said Ronnie Berlack, 20, and Bryce Astle, 19, died in the incident near the Rettenbach glacier near Soelden, the venue for the annual seasonopening World Cup races. Berlack, from Franconia, New Hampshire, and Astle, from Sandy, Utah, were part of a group of six skiers who were descending from the 3,056-meter Gaislachkogel when they left the prepared slope and apparently set off the avalanche. The other four skied out of the slide and escaped unhurt.

Officials in the Tyrolean region said an avalanche alert had been declared for the area after days of heavy snowfall and mild temperatures. “Ronnie and Bryce were both outstanding ski racers who were passionate about their sport — both on the race course and skiing the mountain,’’ U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association president and CEO Tiger Shaw said. “Our hearts go out to the Berlack and Astle families, as well as to their extended sport family. Both of them loved what they did and conveyed that to those around them.’’ Berlack grew up racing in New Hampshire and had been a studentathlete at Vermont’s Burke Mountain Academy. He was named to the so-called development team for potential World

Cup racers following two top-20 finishes at the 2013 U.S. national championships and a spring tryout camp. Astle was invited to train with the development team this season after strong early season results, including two top-10 results at NorAm Cup races last month in Canada. The tragedy has left the U.S. ski team “in shock,” Alpine director Patrick Riml told The Associated Press in Croatia, Zagreb, where the American slalom team was preparing for a night race on Tuesday. “We are all very close,’’ said Riml, an Austrian who was born and grew up in Soelden. “It’s a shock for everybody. Two great boys, great athletes, good skiers. They were fun to have around. We are all in shock, still. It’s very tragic.’’

Jon (Bones) Jones wins big at UFC 182 THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Lightheavyweight champion Jon (Bones) Jones picked up a basic purse of U$500,000 for his successful title defence against Daniel Cormier at UFC 182 on Saturday, Jan. 3. The Nevada State Athletic Commission released purse figures yesterday (Jan. 5). The commission figures do not tell the whole compensation story since the UFC, a

private company, does not release all its bonus and contract details. Jones, for example, would likely have collected a cut of the lucrative pay-per-view revenue which UFC president Dana White said exceeded 750,000 buys. Cormier got $90,0000, missing out on a matching win bonus. Both main event fighters Saturday picked up an additional $50,000 for

fight of the night. Lightweight Donald (Cowboy) Cerrone earned $140,000, including a $70,000 win bonus for defeating Myles (Fury) Jury ($16,000) in the co-main event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Welterweight Hector Lombard made $106,000 for his win over Josh Burkman ($45,000). At the other end of the scale, UFC newcomer Jared (Tha Killa Gorilla) Cannonier

made $8,000 in a knockout loss to Shawn Jordan ($94,000 including a $50,000 performance bonus). Cannonier took two months off from his job repairing air traffic control equipment for the Federal Aviation Administration to prepare for the fight. The Alaska-based heavyweight raised more than $6,000 for his training camp in Arizona via gofundme. com.

KENNETH JAMES McMANUS January 10, 1945 to December 27, 2014 Ken was a giant of a man, perhaps not in stature but more so because of his heart. He was loved, respected, appreciated, honoured and so deeply cherished by all who had the good fortune of being able to refer to him as “MY FRIEND KEN”. He didn’t have an easy life, but never did he complain about his path in life. Born in Loon Lake, Saskatchewan, Ken grew up with his mother Ingrid. At an early age he battled polio and won. Ken lived in Prince Rupert, Calgary, and Fort McMurray, and called Edmonton home for many years; this is where he formed many lifelong friendships. In Kamloops, Ken owned Bridge Mobile Home Park since the 1970’s. Most recently Kamloops is and was his home, the place where he met his Soul Mate, Sylvia. Now a new group of friends and relatives were also able to call him “MY FRIEND KEN”. Ken met Sylvia, soul mate, friend, lover, mentor, and travelling companion, in January 1995. Along with Sylvia came her family, all who loved him and treated him as if he had always been with them. He will now always be in their hearts, as he has made a lasting imprint. Ken and Sylvia loved to travel, and together they made trips to Fort St. John (to catch fish), Vancouver Island, eastern Canada, and numerous trips south. Other travels included: Maui, Las Vegas, Puerta Vallarta, Rin Con Quibatos, San Carlos, Phoenix, Yuma, Tucson, Old Tucson, Casa Grande, California, Oregon, Washington, Toronto, Cottage Country, Ottawa, New Brunswick, PEl, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, and many places in

between. Many good travelling times were had with friends and family: the Meads, the Egos, the Murphys, and the McDonalds, just to name a few.

names because I know I will miss someone, but you know who you are and are all wonderful. Thank you again.

Ken was born on January 10, 1945 at Loon Lake, Saskatchewan, to mother Ingrid and father Ernest, siblings Gordon, Earl, Melvin, and his beloved sister Dorothy, who always had a special place in his heart. He was predeceased by his parents, and by siblings Gordon & Melvin. Ken is survived by his wife Sylvia, stepsons Robert and Jason Weisbeck, brother Earl and Betty (Artie, Debbie and Mike, Barbara, Sandy, Jamie & Maryann), sister Dorothy and Alex (Ken and Eva, Chance and CeeJay Trocuik, Phyl and Ken Nicholls, Samatha Gail Trocuik and Joe, Joan Boisselle and John, and special nephew Darrell Trocuik), and Melvin’s children Beverely and Dwain McDonald (Dean, Shy, Emmy, and Alivia, Kim, Bob, Makayla, and Breanna), Brenda and Gerry Gauthier (Tracey, Tony, Meagan, Ryan, Terra) Barbara and Ray Sanourin, Christina, Carla and Ashley.)

Ken is being cremated, with a burial of his ashes at a later time. In the spring, when all the birds are singing and the flowers are in bloom we will hold a CELEBRATION OF LIFE in his honour. Please prepare your thoughts on what Ken meant to you, write them down, and read them at the event. Please bring your pictures.

He will also be missed by Sylvia’s family; sons Robert and Jason, Mum-in-aw Kay Pawlyshyn, sister-in-law Bella and George, (Anthony, Trish, Vladimyr, Oksana, Wayne, Stephanie, Chantelle, Mike and Owen) brothers Morris, (Tanya, Danny, Rio, Rhiannon and Troy, Darrell and Christie, Jovaline, Coletin and Skylar, Chad and Carmen, very special Anastasia, Demetrius, and Cyprian, Deleena, Mike and Isaiah) Bob and Laurie (Kara, Edwin, Ashton, Vann, Jackson and Todd). He passed away after battling cancer for 10 years, after his surgery in 2004, the cancer had gone into remission for five years and we thought he was safe. But, that was not to be. In 2009 we discovered that cancer had reared its ugly head again. After five years of chemo treatments he was unable to fight any longer. It was his determination, strength of character and love that allowed him to live life as fully as possible during this challenging time. He is now in a place where all good men go. I wish to thank Royal Inland Hospital Cancer Clinic for all the kindness shown to Ken for the many years he has spent on Floor 8. I won’t give your

Dad is predeceased by his wife of 64 years, Jeanette, his son-inlaw, Peter Aspelieter, his parents Harry and Margaret Pulley and his brothers, Harry and Jack. Dad was born and raised in Revelstoke. He began his career with CPR and left there when he was in his 20s to join the air force. He was stationed in Winnipeg when he had the great fortune to meet and marry our mother. Following his deployment, Dad resumed his career with the CPR and moved to Field. Shortly after moving to Field, Dad and Mom became the proud parents of Patricia and later, Judith. Dad was transferred to Kamloops in 1959 and worked as the yardmaster until his retirement. During his lifetime, Mother Nature has been Dad’s passion. He was a great believer of the conservation of the great outdoors and was very active in the Kamloops Fish and Game Club and the B.C. Wild Life Federation. His love of nature was passed on to his grandsons. The family would like to extend their utmost thanks to the many friends who Dad was very blessed to have. God bless each and every single one of you who have helped over the years by taking Dad fishing, shopping, out to lunch, bringing lunch to the house, stopping in for coffee, pruning trees, driving him to Mission, taking him on road trips for no particular reason, picking up the millions of apricots, peaches and apples in the backyard and last but by no means least, mending his pants. What we would have done without you we do not know. As always, a huge thank you to Dr. Philip Sigalet and his most valued assistant, Cheri. A memorial tea in celebration of Dad’s life will be held on Saturday, January 10 at 2:00 p.m. at Hotel 540. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Kamloops Hospice Association, 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, BC, V2E 2S9.

Please do not send flowers, instead send your donation to Royal Inland Hospital Cancer Clinic or Kamloops Hospice Association Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I and you are you. And the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play. Smile. Think of me. Pray for me. Let my name always be the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, Somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well.

BETTY JORDAN Magdalena Elizabeth (Betty) Jordan passed away December 31, 2014 with family by her side. In her 78 years, her love of flowers, the ocean, and her grandchildren (Ben & Emilie Gysel, Cooper & Chloe Jordan, and Sam Jordan) was abundantly evident to all. Betty is survived by her husband Lorne Dale Selbee, sons Tim (Jan) and Jeff (Carmen) Jordan, and daughter Linda Gysel (Bill). She was pre-deceased by her first husband Gerald Edward Jordan along with brothers Bill, Bob and Herman Heise. Her lone remaining brother Walter Heise lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Betty married Gerald in August 1957 and they lived in Saskatoon before moving to Kamloops in 1972. After Gerald’s death, Betty married Lorne Selbee in 2002 and lived in West Pine Villas until her final home in The Hamlets. Betty was a wonderful homemaker, lover of nature and children, and never waivered from her support of family and friends. Although she battled with Alzheimer’s in her later years she was dearly loved by all, and will be missed for her infectious smile, mischievous ways, caring support of others, and the hugs she gave without asking. We will miss her. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada can be made in Betty’s name.

In Loving Memory

CHARLES WILSON

Carla Jayne Dornan August 30,1967 - December 17, 2014

We would like to express our gratitude to all our friends and relatives who have helped us throughout the sudden passing of our beloved Carla. Special thanks to her cousin Denise and husband Jerry Mazur of Kelowna who rushed to be with us and remained throughout our ordeal. Thank you for the many hours you spent creating the beautiful memories video. Special thanks to Carla’s friends/co-workers of Secwepemc Child & Family Services for your generosity and the beautiful, sometimes funny sentiments many of you expressed. It is easy to understand why Carla loved her work. Many thanks to the Farm Family. Carla spent a great deal of her time at the farm riding and tending to her horses, a lifelong passion. She spoke of the barbeques, campfire gatherings, the camaraderie and good times spent there. This was truly her second family. We would also like to thank The Kamloops Funeral Home and Pastor Vern Frudd for conducting a beautiful service and supporting us through this difficult time. Most sincerely, Patrick Nickel, Dennis, Eva, Steve and Sheilagh Dornan

Charles Richard Wilson, known to family and friends as “Rick” of Kamloops, BC, passed away with family at his side on December 31, 2014 at 67 years of age. A long-time resident of Kamloops, Rick was an active member of the Alcoholics Anonymous community for 43 years. In the late 1970’s and 1980’s he was the owner of a construction company, and he built many homes in the Kamloops area. He engaged in various other endeavors, including pilot and flight instructor, businessman and entrepreneur, before he became a long-haul trucker for many years. In 2011 Rick suffered a significant stroke that left him in a wheelchair and unable to communicate verbally. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer over the holiday season and God took him into his arms within a few short days. He is survived by his beloved wife, Joan Wilson, his mother Rena Wilson and four children, Tyler Wilson of Kamloops, BC, Chad Wilson of Kamloops, BC, Dana Wilson of Vancouver, BC, and Dione (Adam) Nordby of Squamish, BC. He is also survived by his 5 grandchildren, Wyatt & Myah Wilson, Mason Reinhart, Kiera & Chloe Nordby, and his three siblings, Lynn Diduck, Larry (Pat) Wilson, and Mark (Yvonne) Wilson. A celebration of life will be held at Kamloops Alliance Church on Friday, January 9 at 11:00 am. Donations in his memory can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada at www.heartandstroke.com or by calling 1-877882-2582. Thank you to the staff on the first floor of the Pacific Building at Ridgeview Lodge for the special care and love they gave Rick.
