fter Ahmed Merabet, a French policeman, was killed outside the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris last week, his brother Malek said: “My brother was Muslim and he was killed by two terrorists, by two false Muslims. Islam is a religion of peace and love.” It was moving, but to say all Muslims who commit cruel and violent acts in God’s name are “false Muslims” is like saying the Crusaders who devastated the Middle East 900 years ago were “false Christians.” The Crusaders were real Christians. They believed that they were doing God’s will. See CIVIL WAR, A14

The skies are still when Toby Jackson leaves his home for his usual Tuesday morning walk with his dog, London. But, by the time the longtime Valleyview resident has gone two blocks, it’s clear he is being followed. Behind Jackson, a handful of crows swoop lazily between sets of power lines, sometimes circling as he stops to greet a neighbourhood cat or point out a squirrel. Jack’s bird escort began as an experiment several years back. Having read articles about the

Jackson’s activities have attracted the crows to private property, creating a nuisance, an allegation he disputes. “I’m not attracting birds to a property, I’m attracting birds to me,” he says. Jackson says he doesn’t want to stop feeding the birds and, indeed, didn’t stop after his first $100 ticket in November or after receiving two more tickets that followed. “To me, it’s almost like I’ve been talking to one of my neighbours and someone comes along and says, ‘You can’t talk to them any more,’” he says. “Well, how’s the neighbour going to feel?”

intelligence of birds, and crows in particular, Jackson decided to see if the birds in his neighbourhood could be trained to recognize him. On a typical Tuesday, Jackson would pause at a few points along the route to dole out peanuts or a few of London’s dog treats to his feathery companions. The experiment was a success — Jackson’s popularity with the birds makes that clear — but it’s come at a cost. He is now facing $300 in fines under the city’s animal-control bylaw. He will have his day in court on Jan. 29. Bylaw services contends
A Kamloops man accused of murdering a woman in a North Shore apartment building last month will remain behind bars for at least the next two months. Christopher Frank Butler was charged with second-degree murder after Deanne Wheeler was killed in a Cherry Avenue apartment on Dec. 30. Butler, 41, made a brief court appearance by video from Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre (KRCC) on Monday, Jan. 12, at which time lawyers put his matter over to March. Butler has a brief criminal history, most recently a conviction for assault in September. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 37 days in jail and 18 months of probation, meaning he was on probation at the time he is alleged to have killed Wheeler. In 2012, Butler pleaded guilty to assault and breach, which earned him a 33-day stay in jail. The previous year, Butler was charged with extortion in Kelowna. He later pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of criminal harassment and was sentenced to a five-month jail term, followed by two years of probation and a 10-year firearms ban. Police were called to the apartment complex at 435 Cherry Ave. just after 2 p.m. on Dec. 30. Butler was arrested a short time later and has been in custody at KRCC since. Mounties have not said how Wheeler, 26, was killed, but residents of the Cherry Avenue building told KTW they believe she was stabbed to death in unit 107, where Butler is believed to have lived. Butler is due back in Kamloops provincial court on March 9.

It took three attempts, but a science experiment created by students who attended McGowan Park elementary (and who are now in Grade 8 at Sa-Hali secondary) lifted off into space on Saturday morning (Jan. 10). Last fall, teacher Sharmane Baerg and students Hunter Galbraith, Kieren O’Neil, Ryan Watson and Jordan Brown watched as their science experiment was destroyed after the unmanned Orbital Sciences Corp.’s Antares rocket and Cygnus cargo spacecraft taking it to the International Space Station exploded upon liftoff. A duplicate science experiment made it to Florida for private company Space X’s attempt at delivering supplies — including the students’ experiment — to the space station. That attempt, on Jan. 6, came within a minute of launching, but
a technical problem aborted the mission. A third attempt on Saturday was successful and the students’ experiment should reach the International Space Station at 3:12 a.m. Kamloops time on Monday, Jan. 12. The students won a district-

Station Education. Working alongside the boys and their teacher was Thompson Rivers University chemistry professor Sharon Brewer who, along with dean of science Tom Dickinson, provided the group with a laboratory to work on the experiment. The students’ experiment is designed to test how crystals grow in the microgravity environment on the International Space Station, the ultimate destination of the experiment. The boys were intrigued with the chemical reactions that turn two liquids into a solid and designed their experiment around that. They discovered along the way that liquids they chose became a fluffy snowflake-like solid if they came together quickly, but more needlelike if a filter was added to slow the chemical process.

The A/H3N2 flu is in the Kamloops region — but it’s expected to peak soon and begin to fade away. Dr. Robert Parker, a medical officer of health with the Interior Health Authority, said the estimate is based on previous years dealing with the various strains of influenza A, with a caution. “You never know for sure you are past the peak until you see a decline in activity,” he said. No numbers are available of reported cases of the virus, which brings with it aching muscles, fever, sore throat, fatigue and an incessant hacking cough, but Parker estimated more than 90 per cent of respiratory infections occurring in the IHA region are due to the influenza A virus circulating. The cough can persist for up to two weeks or longer for those with asthma or chronic lung conditions. Parker said the timing is typical for the virus, which usually appears between Christmas and early January. While the flu-shot vaccine being used now has not provided full protection against A/H3N2, Parker recommends people still get the shot because it can reduce the severity of the virus and provides protection against other flu strains that may be present in the area.

Shaven man accused of framing social worker LYTTON MAN MAINTAINS HE AWOKE TO FIND HIS HAIR AROUND BODY
CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A defence lawyer suggested in B.C. Supreme Court yesterday (Jan. 12) that a Lytton social worker accused of shaving most of a young man’s body hair as he slept was falsely accused as part of an elaborate story to frame his client. The young man who is the complainant in the trial was on the witness stand yesterday in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops for the second day. Michael Hume is charged with sexual assault, forcible confinement and uttering threats stemming from an incident the Crown alleges occurred on Aug. 8, 2013, at his home in Lytton, where he worked as a social worker with First Nations youth. The complainant, who cannot be identified due to a court order that protects his identity, testified through tears about waking up naked after a drinking session to find his former social worker shaving off most of his body hair. The complainant testified he reluctantly accepted a ride from Hume to his house after drinking
at a friend’s house. He otherwise faced a long walk home. “I gave in and said yes,” he told court. Once there, the young man said he immediately went to the bathroom because he was sick from drinking too much alcohol. When he came out, he found Hume at the kitchen table offering him a drink of Captain Morgan rum and root beer. The young man said he had a few sips but didn’t like it. He testified he went to his backpack to retrieve a beer, but found none inside. The young man also told the jury he tried to steal one of Hume’s other bottles of hard liquor, but got caught and was told to put it back. He said he went back to the drink at the table, chatting with Hume before finishing about a quarter of his drink and passing out. “I woke up on the floor, naked in the living room,” he said. “He [Hume] had my left leg in the air and was shaving underneath my testicles.
“I said ‘What the f–k are you doing?’” The complainant testified Hume replied, “Don’t be mad — your girlfriend will like it anyway.” “He pretty much shaved me everywhere,” the young man said. “I was itchy and there was hair everywhere beside me.” During cross-examination, defence lawyer Richard Kaiser put a series of questions to the complainant, painting a different story. “You said to him [Hume]: ‘If you don’t give me $200, I’ll destroy your reputation,’” Kaiser suggested to the complainant. Court heard the young man made a series of frantic calls, calls he said were made to get a ride from Hume’s house after Hume threatened him with a liquor bottle and initially wouldn’t let him leave. “You’re carrying out the threat you made — to destroy his reputation,” Kaiser said in response to the young man’s denials. Earlier in the trial, Janet Webster, chief of the Lytton First Nation, testified Hume arrived in the small Fraser Valley community 10 years ago, working first as a

youth and recreation councillor and later assisting with restorative justice and helping young band members in trouble with the law — including the complainant. The young man also testified that when he told Hume he was going to report the episode, the social worker “just laughed and said, ‘No one will believe you anyway.’ “He’s probably right,” the complainant said. “He buys everyone’s love with
money. Everyone likes him.” Throughout his testimony, the young man said he felt afraid and disgusted by the episode. Eventually, the complainant said, Hume drove him to his cousin’s house, throwing him $50. “He told me not to tell anyone,” the young man testified. “He told me I was a good kid and didn’t want me to do anything bad.” The complainant said he immediately told his cousin about the incident. Soon after, RCMP took him to hospital for photographs of his shaven body, which were shown to jurors as evidence. The complainant said he had never shaved his own body hair. In his opening to jurors, Crown prosecutor Chris Balison said the Crown will attempt to prove Hume cleaned up the shaven hair, which was later found inside Hume’s vacuum cleaner after RCMP obtained a search warrant. Following the conclusion of the Crown’s case, the defence will have an opportunity to present evidence in front of jurors.

Bird feeder intends to fight city fines From A1
The PBS program Nature has produced an acclaimed 60-minute documentary, A Murder of Crows, which details amazing facts about the birds. Here are some: • Crows live all over the world, except in Antarctica. • Crows are predators and scavengers, which means they will eat practically anything. Their diet consists of various road-kill, insects, frogs, snakes, mice, corn, human fast food and eggs and nestlings of other birds. An adult crow needs about 11 ounces of food daily. • A group of crows is called a “murder.â€? There are several different explanations for the origin of this term, mostly based on old folktales and superstitions. For instance, there is a folktale that crows will gather and decide the capital fate of another crow. Many view the appearance of crows as an omen of death because ravens and crows are scavengers and are generally associated with dead bodies, battlefields and cemeteries, and they are thought to circle in large numbers above sites where animals or people are expected to soon die. But, the term “murder of crowsâ€? mostly reflects a time when groupings of many animals had colourful and poetic names. Other fun examples of group names include an ostentation of peacocks, a parliament of owls, a knot of `frogs and a skulk of foxes. • Crows use at least 250 different calls. The distress call brings other crows to their aid as crows will defend unrelated crows. • Crows mate for life.
While Jackson admits a couple of neighbours “aren’t keen� on his activities, he contends the person who has complained to the city isn’t affected by the birds because Jackson no longer distributes peanuts on the early part of his route. The remaining homes, he adds, are only visited by birds for a minute or less on his walk. As to whether his activities might be attracting birds to the neighbourhood, Jackson is skeptical. “They live in the neighbourhood,� he says. “It’s funny to say I’ve attracted them here.� City of Kamloops bylaw-services supervisor John Ramsay, says while feeding the birds isn’t necessarily an issue, the routine nature of Jackson’s feedings does tip into nuisance territory for the city — even if it’s only one person complaining. “It’s the one neighbour that complains, it doesn’t mean it’s just the one neighbour that’s upset with it,� Ramsey says, noting birds routinely flying over a home because of an individual’s actions can count as a nuisance if the birds are leaving droppings on property or individuals below. Jackson says he intends to fight his fines in bylaw court at the end of the month. Ramsay, meanwhile, suggests if Jackson wants to continue distributing peanuts, he should choose a more secluded spot — away from private homes.

How and why did you become involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters? I wanted to work with kids and let them teach me things for a change! What do you enjoy about the Big Sisters Program? I enjoy the time I spend with my Little and the good times and laughter we share. The Big Brothers Big Sisters staff and kids have been such fun to work with! How often do you see your Little and what do you do? Typically once a week for 2-4 hours depending on what we are doing! We enjoy hikes, bowling, beauty makeovers, and creating meals together. How is this relationship ďŹ tting into your life? Although I have a busy schedule, creating the time to visit my Little and see the smile on her face is totally worth it. The program is totally exible and I’m thankful for that! Who would you recommend this program to? I would recommend being a mentor to anyone who wants a career with children, would like to ďŹ nd more about themselves and how they can work with others, or is someone looking for a fun volunteer position! This is it! How do you feel your Little has beneďŹ ted from the program? My Little has been working on her communication skills and is growing into her own unique, individual. It is a privilege to watch someone change right in front of you. Why do you think someone should volunteer in this program? You initially think that you’re doing the child the favour, but at the end of the day you both beneďŹ t from the program. This program is awesome and has always made me feel so welcomed and appreciated for what I do. You can’t put a price on the experience and the smiles it places on your face and your Little.

across North America for the Dec. 21 count under the auspices of the National Audubon Society. The count of birds in Kamloops is divided in a grid, centred on Mount Dufferin and expanding out in a 12-kilometre radius. Together they counted nearly 9,000 birds — more than a quarter of them European starlings at the landfill — divided into 70 species. Howie said it’s the number of species, rather than the number of birds, that is important. The variety in Kamloops sometimes reaches the low 80s. While the 70 number is considered below average, Howie said it is not disappointing. While lack of snow cover helped the count, some environmental conditions limited species or ability to view them. “All of the sewage lagoons were frozen, so there were fewer ducks,” Howie said. “The river is 40 centimetres

hile it’s a rare sighting in these parts, a glaucous gull recorded in a recent city bird count wasn’t spotted in the most pristine of locations. The large gull with the unremarkable appearance was seen at the Mission Flats landfill — one among hundreds or even thousands of starlings, ravens, crows and other gull species at the dump enumerated by volunteers during the annual Christmas bird count. It’s the first time a glaucous gull has been spotted in Kamloops in 14 years. “They’re normally an Arctic-residing species that don’t come down south very often,” said Rick Howie, who helped oversee the count. About 50 volunteers from the Kamloops Naturalist Club joined thousands of others
higher than normal.” Those factors mean dabbling ducks can’t utilize those frozen ponds and, therefore, weren’t seen in typical numbers. Swans, for example, aren’t able to reach vegetation in the river due to high water. The count found 13 trumpeter swans — a species that has otherwise made a remarkable comeback across North American and is found in Kamloops in larger numbers in other years. A handful of birds were tallied upon sighting of a single representative: One each of the glaucous gull, Western grebe, gyrfalcon, ruffed grouse, American dipper, white-throated sparrow and white-crowned sparrow were counted. On the other hand are species so common they rate high in the nuisance factor, including ravens, starlings, pigeons and Canada geese. Two listed species of concern due to low numbers in
B.C. were seen in Kamloops — two each of great blue heron and burrowing owl. Local bird enthusiast Tom Dickinson, Thompson Rivers University’s dean of science, was in Ottawa during this year’s count — where he volunteered to count birds. He estimates he has helped count in 15 of the last 25 or so years in Kamloops. Dickinson’s usual route is to move up Rose Hill and beyond, starting at the valley bottom. His hot spots during the annual count include the river itself, as well as at neighbouring houses, where he knocks on doors and asks to see what’s dining at the feeders. “Birders tend to have favourite stomping grounds,” he said. Dickinson also noted the city is home to an area beside the Thompson River at Tranquille designated by the Canadian Wildlife Services as an important bird area in North America.
A large number of varieties tend to stop over during migration routes. Even sightings of relatively common birds in the count can show important changes. This year, volunteers counted 30 American robins, a species that numbers in the thousands in spring when it is widely known as a harbinger of the season. Howie said some of those birds, if they survive the winter, may become “genetic pilot animals that are pushing the limits.” Those birds should normally reside in the southern United States or Central America in the winter. “If they can remain behind without migration, they’re here early and get a jump on migrants. “In a sense, they’re explorers.” Those surviving birds pass on those hardy genes to offspring, which, in theory, can continue the pattern of outcompeting, Howie said.

COMET CONVERSATION AT UNIVERSITY
All those interested in astronomical events are invited to a presentation tomorrow night (Jan. 14) on the Rosetta/Philae Mission to Comet 67P. The presentation will take place at the Kamloops Astronomical Society’s regular monthly meeting, at 7 p.m. in room S373 of the Science Building at Thompson Rivers University. Rosetta launched in 2004 and arrived at Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on Aug. 6, 2014. It is the first mission in history to rendezvous with a comet, escort it as it orbits the sun and deploy a lander to its surface. Rosetta is an ESA mission with contributions from its member states and NASA.
A: Introducing the topic of a senior living community to your parent may be one of the most difficult things you will do as it can unleash a wide range of emotions for you both. On the positive side, there are many things you can do to increase your chances of successfully introducing and discussing this issue with your parents.
1) Understand why you want your parents to move into a retirement community. Be very clear with yourself as to why your parents should move out of their home and into a residence with services and support.
2) Prepare for “The Talk;” Do Your Homework. Gather as much information as possible ahead of time. The more you know about this topic, the more prepared you are to express your thoughts, answer questions, handle surprises, and maintain a calm and respectful tone.
3) Put yourself in your parent’s shoes. If you can see this from your parents’ perspectives, you’ll be more sympathetic to their fears and objections and better able to address those. Acknowledging and respecting their feelings will go a long way in gaining their trust and willingness to work toward your common goal of finding a safe and enriching environment for them.

STAND UP TO INTOLERANCE
T
he execution of 10 journalists and two police officers by Islamist extremists in Paris last week has justifiably drawn international condemnation. It’s seen as not only an attack against a single news outlet, but an affront to a fundamental tenet of our democratic values — freedom of expression. That the newspaper Charlie Hebdo can spark outrage is nothing new. It’s satirical attack on institutions on all sides of the political and religious spectrum has spared few. However, anger is one thing. Murder is something else. According to media reports, the journalists were singled out, identified by name and systematically shot. They are not the first journalists to die, of course. Last year, 61 journalists were killed doing their job. In 2013, that number was 70. True, reporting from locations like a war zone can be a dangerous business. But, of those killed last year, 27 were deliberately murdered. The motives vary. However, the underlying theme is the suppression of information and a desire to control the message. We can’t let that happen. We can’t let any individual or organization dictate through force the information we receive, whether it’s an in-depth investigation or a satirical cartoon. To be clear, freedom of expression is not absolute. There are limitations, (like the promotion of violence and the dissemination of hate). But, that still leaves a lot of latitude. We live in a time when access to information has never been easier. We can find it online, have it delivered to our doorstep or channeled to our living room. Behind that information, though, are thousands of women and men striving to provide the details you need to form your own judgements about a complicated world. We can’t let the ignorance and intolerance of armed thugs — and those who support them — stand in our way.

Battle for Kennewick Man
M
y Christmas reading included a fascinating new book called Kennewick Man, a study of skeletal remains discovered in 1996 on the bank of the Columbia River in eastern Washington. He was an ancient hunter buried just south of B.C. almost 9,000 years ago, in the Early Holocene period following the last Ice Age. Among the oldest humans found along the West Coast of North America, he sparked an unprecedented battle by the Smithsonian Institution to examine the skeleton and publish the book late last year. The most controversial evidence came from the skull. It doesn’t match the classic Mongoloid profile of modern aboriginal people, key to the theory that the earliest humans reached North America by land bridge from Siberia to Alaska as glaciers receded. Smithsonian scientists confirmed initial reports that Kennewick Man is a closer match with early Polynesians and the Ainu people who remain in Japan today. He lived until about age 40, surviving for years with a stone spear point stuck in his hip. The authors conclude from chemical analysis that “Kennewick Man could not have been a long-time resident of the area where he was found, but instead lived most of his adult life somewhere along the Northwest and North Pacific coast, where marine mammals were readily available.” This suggests migration by

VICTORIA sea, perhaps from a great distance. The U.S. Army seized the skeleton. The scientists sued and eventually won the right to a brief examination. The court case exposed brutal and illegal actions of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and federal departments to destroy the site and intimidate the scientists. U.S. law demanded all remains from before European settlement be repatriated for burial by local tribes — without examination. Umatilla Tribe spokesman Armand Minthorn wrote in 1996: “We view this practice as desecration of the body and a violation of our most deeply-held religious beliefs. “From our oral histories, we know that our people have been part of this land since the beginning of time. We do not believe that our people migrated here from another continent, as the scientists do.” The head of the Society for American Archaeology tried to get the researchers to drop their lawsuit, fearing it would interfere with fragile relationships with area tribes.
The U.S. Justice Department warned the Smithsonian that lead scientist Douglas Owsley and others might be in criminal conflict of interest as federal employees suing the government. Even the White House weighed in against them. Meanwhile, the skeleton was mishandled and later stored in substandard conditions at a Seattle museum, where it remains today. Parts of both femurs were lost and scientists were falsely accused of taking them. They had been removed by tribal representatives and secretly buried. Kennewick Man was found as the U.S. Army was in tense negotiations with tribes on salmon fishing rights on the Columbia River, their demand for removal of dams and the $100-billion cleanup of the Hanford nuclear site. The scientists finally won their case in 2004, with a ruling that the skeleton is so old there isn’t enough evidence to show it is related to current tribes. The judge found the army repeatedly misled the court and assessed the government $2.4 million in costs. The U.S. Army still controls the skeleton and denies requests for further study. The spear point, for example, could show the location where Kennewick Man was injured. One final irony: Analysis shows Kennewick Man ate mostly salmon in his later years, around 6300 BCE. These are the salmon runs wiped out by dams built by U.S. Army engineers before the signing of the Columbia River Treaty with B.C. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
LATEST MARCH HISTORIC STEP FOR JUSTICE Editor: So many mercuric marches. It is said baby boomers have seen more changes in their lifetimes than any preceding generation. As a baby boomer myself, I watched on the television screen as a million people in Paris marched in a unity rally and I feel that emotion that has driven the boomers. That emotion is a sense pride and an unwavering faith that we will reign victors over malfeasance, whatever it looks like. With tears of emotion just below the surface, I watched as cross-cultures marched, carrying banners that unite — “Je Suis Charlie.” I think back to so many other big marches
I’ve witnessed: the moving march on Lincoln Centre in Washington, D.C., for freedom; the moving march at Tienanmen Square in China for freedom. And then there is the march to the Place de Republic in Paris for freedom of expression. The concentric words in this sampling are “moving,” “march” and “freedom.” Yes, the boomers are of the generation that saw firsts in so many areas, including space travel and the world-wide social network, but the most significant of these sights is people moving forward, marching for freedom. It’s an incredible unifier.
The most signifcant of “these sights is people
moving forward, marching for freedom. It’s an incredible unifier.

Shirley Sanderson Kamloops
FREEDOM OF SPEECH COMES WITH RESPONSIBILITY Editor: Let me begin with this: I do not agree with the murder of human beings under any circumstances and I am as shocked and disturbed as everyone else by the recent slaughter of 12 innocent people at the offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris. The point I would like to
make, however, is regarding the issue of freedom of speech. The story of the killings prompted my curiosity as to what those killers could have possibly been so offended about, so I looked up the contents of the magazine in question. I must say I was shocked and offended by it.
The contents are extremely vulgar and display a blatant disrespect and scorn for any religion and various political opinions. So, I ask this question: Does “freedom of speech” grant us the right to be hateful toward people who have values different from our own?
Is it right for anyone to use this much-valued freedom to condescend others and sow division among groups of people? Shouldn’t freedom of speech always be coupled with a sense of responsibility as to how it is used and to what ends? Audrey Turnbull Kamloops

I wrote about this before, so maybe I need to try a different format. Here is my new approach: Hickory Dickory Dock There’s something wrong with the clock That’s down by The Keg Do I have to beg? While I wait for repairs?

A 27-year-old man busted by the RCMP while delivering $40 worth of cocaine to an undercover operator has been ruled an “exceptional circumstance” by a B.C. Supreme Court justice. That ruling yesterday (Jan. 12) means Jeremy Machmer will escape a jail sentence, otherwise considered a mandatory sentence in so-called dial-a-dope operations. In September 2013, police dialled a cellphone number of a woman they believed was selling drugs.
They purchased a small amount of cocaine from her and Machmer accompanied her. Later the same day, Mounties again requested a small amount of drugs. This time, Machmer came by himself, sold police the drugs and rode away on his bicycle, only to be arrested later. The Crown asked for a fourmonth sentence, but acknowledged Machmer may qualify as an exceptional circumstance, needed in order to escape otherwise mandatory incarceration. Defence lawyer Don Campbell said when he first met Machmer on the file, he was “floridly psychotic,”
speaking about messages from the clouds and a new world order. A year after the incident, Machmer was taken into Royal Inland Hospital’s psychiatric ward under the Mental Health Act and held for a sixweek stay. A psychiatrist later determined he was fit to be sentenced. Since then, Machmer has been placed on medication, has family support and is regularly seeing mental-health workers. “Mr. Machmer is the sort of person where he was at risk of being utilized by people like this,” Campbell said of drug dealers.
BONUS 26
A conditional-sentence order is no longer available after changes made by the Conservative government. To escape a mandatory jail sentence, Hyslop gave Machmer a suspended sentence with a curfew for the first four months — a sentence considered more lenient than a conditional-sentence order, but still available under the law. “I think this is an exceptional circumstance where Mr. Machmer should serve a noncustodial sentence,” Hyslop said. He is also subject to a 10-year firearm ban and must take medication as ordered.

Low interest rates causing challenges? FINDING THE BEST POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT It was the spring of 2008 and the world was ending. Global financial institutions were struggling and we had all learned much more about “sub-prime debt” than we ever cared to know. Central banks were cutting interest rates on a regular basis in an effort to spur economic growth and shore up the financial system. I was a new account manager and eager to make an impact with my clients. My employer had recently introduced a new high-
interest savings account with rates that topped the market. However, as interest rates declined globally, so did ours. I wanted to ensure I was proactive with my clients so, each time the rate dropped, I would pick up the phone or meet in person with my clients to advise them of the new rate and to let them know that our product remained highly competitive from a comparative standpoint. One afternoon, I sat across the table from one
client — let’s call him Stan. Stan had retired several years ago having worked hard throughout his career to amass sufficient funds to do so comfortably. When I had finished letting him know about our reduced “but still highly competitive” rate, he looked at me and asked me a question I will never forget. “What would you do if I told you that your salary had been cut in half?” I stared at him with shock as his analogy sank in.

There is no way my family would have ever been able to absorb a reduction of this nature, but that is exactly the scenario that our new interest-rate environment was creating.
Get through tax season with a smile Spring is not far off, but with one hurdle first: Tax time. Turn it into an advantage for yourself with a few easy tips:
File, pay on time – and online
If you owe taxes, file and pay on time and you won’t get charged late filing penalties and interest. If you don’t owe taxes, you should still file on time. This will ensure that you receive your Canada child tax benefits or GST credit without delay. If you’re expecting a refund, you can have it in your bank account in as little as eight days if you file online and sign up for direct deposit.
Claim your tax credits
• Medical expenses — You can claim amounts spent on eligible medical
expenses, including prescription drugs, medical devices, and special dietary needs. If you have medical coverage through your employer, you can claim the amounts that were not covered by the plan. • Charitable donations — If it’s your first time claiming charitable donations, or your first time since 2007, you may get an extra 25 per cent credit your donation, to a maximum of $1,000. • Fitness and arts credits for kids — The children’s fitness and arts tax credits help make the cost of art lessons and organized fitness activities for your children under 16 a little more affordable. You can claim up to $1,000 (under proposed changes) in eligible fitnessrelated expenses and up to $500 in eligible arts-related expenses per child. • Family Tax Cut –— It’s
2.00%
a proposed non-refundable tax credit of up to $2,000 available to eligible couples with children under the age of 18, and is effective starting with the 2014 tax year.
Ask for help
If you have a modest income, a simple tax situation, and need help completing and filing your return, many community organizations host tax clinics that may be able to help you. To see if you are eligible for the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program, go to cra.gc.ca/ volunteer.
Ask for a payment plan
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) understands some taxpayers may be going through a tough time. If you owe taxes but can’t pay, talk to the CRA about
or
your situation. You may be able to set up a payment arrangement which lets you pay in smaller chunks over time. More information is available at cra.gc.ca/paymentarrangements.
Getting a refund or having a balance owing when you file your return is not like winning or losing the lottery. It’s simple math. If you’re consistently getting a refund, it means you’re paying too much tax during the year. If you always have a balance owing, consider having more taxes deducted at source, increasing your instalment payments, or putting money into a registered retirement savings plan.

Just because there are not enough hours in the day, do not let your financial health suffer. Investment advisors have spent years building expertise to guide those who have little time to create a financial plan and manage an investing strategy. Another benefit of working with an investment advisor is finding ways to put more money into savings. Investors who rely on financial advice save as much as 2.7 times more, regardless of household income levels, according to a study called “Econometric Models on the Value of Advice of a Financial Advisor” from the Centre for Interuniversity Research and Analysis on Organizations in 2012. “Financial advice and planning assist people in saving and growing their wealth without being distracted by their emotions, often helping them to be more successful in reaching their investment goals,” said Philip Bensen, senior vice-president at Franklin Templeton Investments Corp. Advisors can help protect investors from poor financial decisions that are made due to excitement or panic during market fluctuations, Bensen said. An advisor can ensure you have an asset mix that matches your investment objectives and risk tolerance over the long term and can also help you avoid short-term distractions. More information on long-term investing is available on websites like franklintempleton.ca.

ensure you are getting the best return you can on the products you select. • Invest in yourself by taking the time to meet with your financial advisor/ banker to ensure they truly understand your situation. If they appear to be too busy or too quick to jump to conclusions, ask for a second opinion. Our current low interestrate environment could be here for a while. Make sure your dollars are working as hard for you as you did for them.

GLOBAL VIEWS
A civil war within the House of Islam From A1
They believed they were doing God’s will in trying to reconquer the formerly Christian lands that had been lost to Islam centuries before — and they had the support of most people back home in Europe. Similarly, Said and Cherif Kouachi and Amedy Coulibaly believed they were true Muslims doing God’s will — and some people in Muslim-majority countries agree with them. But, there is an important difference from the Crusades: The supporters of the young French terrorists are a minority everywhere
and, among Muslims living in Western countries, they are only a tiny minority. Seventeen innocent people killed in Paris is not the equivalent of the Crusades. For that matter, neither were the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. These are wicked and tragic events, but they are not a war. There is a war, but it is a civil war within the House of Islam that occasionally spills over into non-Muslim countries. As foot soldiers in that war, the three killers in Paris probably did not fully understand the role they were playing, but they were serving a quite
sophisticated strategy. Two of these Muslim civil wars, in Afghanistan and Iraq, were ignited by U.S.-led invasions in 2001 and 2003. Four other Muslim civil wars — in Syria, Libya, Yemen and the northern, mostly Muslim half of Nigeria — have been in effect since 2011. Others go back even further, like the war in Somalia, or have flared up and become dormant again, as in Mali and Algeria. In every one of these wars, the victims are overwhelmingly Muslims killed by other Muslims. From time to time, non-Muslims in other
countries are killed — as in New York in 2001, in London in 2007, in Bombay in 2008 and last week in Paris — and these killings do have a strategic purpose, but it’s not to terrify non-Muslims into submission. Quite the contrary. The great Muslim civil war is about the political, social and cultural modernization of the Muslim world. Should it continue down much the same track other major global cultures have followed or should those changes be stopped and indeed reversed? The Islamists take the latter position. Some aspects of
modernization are attractive to many Muslims, so stopping the changes would require a lot of violence, including the overthrow of most existing governments in Muslim countries. That is the task Islamists in general, and jihadi activists in particular, have undertaken. As they are minorities even in their own countries, the Islamists’ hardest job is to mobilize popular support for their struggle. The best way to do this is to convince Muslims that modernization — democracy, equality, the whole cultural package — is part of a Western plot to
undermine Islam. This will be a more credible claim if Western countries are actually attacking Muslim countries, so one of the main jihadi strategies is to carry out terrorist atrocities that will trigger Western military attacks on Muslim countries. That was the real goal of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and it was spectacularly successful as it tricked the U.S. into invading not one, but two, Muslim countries. However, smaller terrorist attacks that lead to the mistreatment of the Muslim minorities in non-Muslim countries also serve the cause.
They can create a backlash that victimizes the local Muslim minorities, thus generating yet more “proof” there is a war against Islam. There will be more attacks like the ones in Paris, because lost young men seeking a cause abound in every community, including the Muslim communities of the West. We can’t arrest them all, so we will live with a certain amount of terrorism from Muslim and non-Muslim extremist groups and try not to over-react — just as we have been doing for many decades already. gwynnedyer.com

ylan Armstrong will recoup stolen Olympic moments in his hometown. The shot putter from Kamloops is scheduled to receive a bronze medal from the 2008 Olympic Summer Games during a ceremony at the Tournament Capital Centre on Feb. 15. “It’s finally settled,” Armstrong said. “I can put everything past me now and finally wear that medal around my neck.” In August, the Canadian Olympic Committee confirmed the International Olympic Committee’s decision to strip Belarusian shot putter Andrei Mikhnevich of the bronze and give it to Armstrong, who finished fourth at the 2008 Games in Beijing with a throw of 21.04 metres, one centimetre behind Mikhnevich. The Belarus Athletics Federation imposed a lifetime ban on Mikhnevich in June of 2013 after positive re-tests of his doping sample from the 2005 world championships in Helsinki. It was his second positive test, the first coming in 2001. The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) followed suit in August of 2013, annulling Mikhnevich’s results dating back to August of 2005 and banning him for life. Armstrong, a Westsyde secondary graduate, will see the medal for the first time at the ceremony, which will get underway at 1 p.m. “I felt it was really important to be able to have it here in Kamloops, in front of all my fans

Dylan Armstrong was robbed of a bronze medal at the 2008 Olympic Summer Games in Beijing when a doping Belarusian shot putter finished third, throwing one centimetre further than the Kamloops product.

and supporters and friends and family,” he said. “When it comes down to it, these are the people that have supported me right from when I started until now, helping me achieve my dreams and my goals.” He will be the third Kamloopsian to wear an Olympic medal. Bob Wilson was the first, claiming silver in rowing at the 1956 Olympic Summer Games in Melbourne. Jessica Hewitt won silver in speed skating at the 2014
Winter Games in Sochi. “It’s amazing to add this medal to my resume and it’s definitely a big ticket for me,” Armstrong said. “Everybody wants an Olympic medal. It’s a big prize for every athlete at that level. “I can use this as a starting point and a foundation in my community and across the country. Hopefully, it influences a lot of young kids.” Armstrong, 33, might be able to earn a portion of the thousands of sponsorship dollars he lost out on in Beijing, but Mikhnevich robbed

him of some things that are irreplaceable. “The moments that he lost, right?” Judy Armstrong, Dylan’s mother, told KTW last summer. “He knows that those are gone and I think that’s what he feels bad about, as do we.” There won’t be a stadium full of 60,000 fans at the TCC, but O Canada will no doubt be heard and sung by a gymnasium filled with his most loyal followers. The open-to-the-public event will have room for about 900 spectators.
Four-time Olympic gold medallist Hayley Wickenheiser will present the medal to Armstrong. CBC broadcaster Scott Russell will be the master of ceremonies. The moment bronze hangs from Armstrong’s neck will mark the conclusion of a nearly twoyear process, a ball that started rolling when Mikhnevich was exposed for cheating. “It’s nice to have it wrapped up,” Armstrong said. “There won’t be any more questions, ‘When are you going to get your medal?’ “These things take time. There’s lots of hoops to jump through and politics. “It’s exciting and, hopefully, it has a positive impact on the community and Kamloops can produce more medals.”
Armstrong went under knife
The shot putter from the River City had elbow surgery in December. “I’m heading to Hawaii for three weeks to rehab in warm weather,” Armstrong told KTW. “I’ll be back for the medal ceremony, then head to Europe for training camps.” Armstrong would still like to compete at the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro. “I’m going to take a poke at Rio,” he said.

Five WolfPack women reached double-figures in scoring on Saturday. First-year guard Emma Piggin of Kamloops led the way with 20 points. TRU’s women (9-1) lead the Explorer Division, while the Pack men (6-4) are second, with 10 games each remaining on the

President talks ice conditions for Logan Lake pond hockey tourney MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Logan Lake Pond Hockey Classic president Dave Prentice says ice conditions for this week’s tournament will be fine. “The temperatures, it would be great if it was another five or six degrees colder,” Prentice said. “It’s not, but the ice is still pretty good.” “After that snow we had last week, we were in tough shape here and had to scramble, but our ice guys got it done.” The tournament is slated to run from Friday, Jan. 16, to Sunday, Jan. 18. Brian Clarke, head of the
ice crew since 2009, expressed concerns over less-than-ideal temperatures and cracks forming in the ice, but his team is closely monitoring conditions, doing everything in its power to keep the surface smooth. “His plan for the cracks is to put water in them and it will go down deep enough that it will freeze overnight,” Prentice said, noting ideal temperatures for flooding the ice range between -8 C and and -10 C. According to the Weather Network, overnight lows in Logan Lake are expected to be - 4 C on Friday and - 3 C on Saturday. Highs in Logan Lake this week have been below zero and that trend is expected to con-

Highs on Friday, Saturday and Sunday are expected to be 1 C, 2 C and 3 C, respectively. “We’re always at the mercy of Mother Nature and it’s never going to be perfect, but that’s part of the charm of outdoor hockey,” Prentice said. There are 23 teams registered to participate. Prentice said organizers were sad to learn John Wilson, a longtime member on the tournament executive committee, died on Saturday, Jan. 10. “He was around 70. He came down with cancer a couple years ago,” Prentice said. “He was a tireless worker and pond hockey will miss him.”

Ken Holland has a decision to make on sizeable defenceman Marc McNulty, the Detroit Red Wings draft pick who made his debut with the Kamloops Blazers on Friday, Jan. 9. The Wings’ general manager was at Interior Savings Centre on Friday to watch the Blazers play the Kelowna Rockets, along with Detroit’s director of amateur scouting Tyler Wright and chief amateur scout Jeff Finley. “I love his size,� Holland said of McNulty, a 6-foot-6, 210-pound blue-liner from Medicine Hat. “The issue a little bit has been consistency. He’s got reach and range and hands. Shift after shift after shift, competing every night, that’s what I’m going to look for here over 60 minutes. “We obviously have to make a decision on him from a signing standpoint by June.� McNulty, 19, took a run at top-prospect forward Leon Draisaitl, 19, early in the first period and the Kamloops defenceman took the worst of the exchange, ending up

on his rear end. “I think I was a little nervous the first few shifts,� McNulty said. “In the second and third, I found my groove and got into it a bit more.� McNulty finished the game with one assist on the Blazers’ only goal in a 2-1 shootout loss to the WHLleading Rockets. He was plus-1 on the night. The Red Wings played earlier last week in Calgary and Edmonton, so it was an ideal time for Holland and his scouts to check out their sixth round pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. “When you hear that they’re here, I’ll definitely review my game a little bit more,� said McNulty, who came to
Kamloops in a trade with Prince George last week. “I just tried to play my game and get into things with the new guys.� Detroit staff has seen McNulty in action recently, including at Red Wings training camp and at the Traverse City Prospects Tournament in September in Traverse City, Mich. “It’s an opportunity to come watch him play,� Holland said. He also had an eye on Rockets’ 17-year-old forward Nick Merkley, who is second in WHL scoring with 63 points. Merkley, eligible in this year’s NHL Draft, had a quiet night until he scored to extend the shootout, allowing

Ronaldo named NFL conference finalists decided world’s best ROB MAADDI
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GRAHAM DUNBAR
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ZURICH — For the third time, Cristiano Ronaldo was voted the world’s best soccer player. He hopes it also brought him closer to being remembered as one of the greatest of all time. Ronaldo won the FIFA Ballon d’Or in a rout yesterday (Jan. 12), racking up more than twice the votes of Lionel Messi, who edged German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer into third. The Real Madrid and Portugal forward’s latest hat trick tied him with Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo of Brazil on three FIFA awards. The original Ballon d’Or presented by France Football magazine was won by European standouts Johan Cruyff, Michel Platini and Marco van Basten three times each. Only Messi’s four FIFA awards is ahead of the 29-year-old Ronaldo, whose Madrid team again seems better placed for trophies in 2015 than his rival’s Barcelona. “I want to become one of the greatest players of all time,’’ Ronaldo said through a translator in his acceptance speech. “Of course, this requires a lot of effort and I hope to get there.’’ Ronaldo retained football’s highest individual honour after scoring 61 goals last year. His record tally of 17 in a Champions League season helped Madrid win an unprecedented 10th European Cup title — and overshadowed a relatively disappointing World Cup campaign.
Andrew Luck spoiled another Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning showdown. It’s the Indianapolis Colts at the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game on Sunday, Jan. 18. The Green Bay Packers visit the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC title game earlier in the day. Luck threw for 265 yards and a pair of touchdowns on Sunday, Jan. 11, to lead the Colts over Manning and the Broncos 24-13, sending Indianapolis (13-5) to its first conference championship game since Manning led them past the New York Jets in January 2010. “I think we’re playing good team ball,’’ Luck said. “It’s a great night, so proud to be part of this Colts victory.’’ Luck, who replaced Manning in
Indianapolis in 2012, enters Championship Sunday as the only one of the four starting QBs without a Super Bowl ring. Brady and Manning went head-to-head in three previous AFC championship games, including last year’s won by the Broncos. But Manning fell to 11-13 in the post-season following one of his worst playoff performances ever. New England (13-4) opened as 7 1/2-point favourites against the Colts. The Patriots beat the Colts 42-20 at Indianapolis in Week 11 as Jonas Gray ran for a franchise-record four TDs. In the NFC, the Packers (13-4) and Seahawks (13-4) are set for a rematch of this season’s NFL opener. The Seahawks opened as seven-point favourites. Aaron Rodgers threw for 316 yards and three touchdowns and the
Packers rallied from an eight-point deficit to beat the Dallas Cowboys 26-21 on Sunday and advance to the conference title game for the first time in four years. Now, the Packers travel to Seattle to face the defending Super Bowl champions, who dominated Green Bay in a 36-16 win on Sept. 4. Rodgers overcame a calf injury that limited his mobility to lead the Packers over the Cowboys. His 13-yard TD pass to backup tight end Richard Rodgers in the fourth quarter gave Green Bay the lead for good. A video review reversed a 31-yard catch by Dez Bryant to the Packers 1 on fourthand-2, and the Cowboys didn’t get the ball back. “I’ll do everything I can to get ready to go to Seattle and play a great team,’’ Rodgers said. The Packers finished the season 9-0 at Lambeau Field, but they’ll have to go on the
road to face a team with a similar home-field advantage in a noisy environment created by the 12th Man. The Seahawks are 25-2 at CenturyLink Field in quarterback Russell Wilson’s three years, including 8-1 this season. In Week 1, Marshawn Lynch ran for 110 yards and two TDs as the Seahawks blew past Green Bay. Rodgers was 23 of 33 for 189 yards, one TD and one interception. He looked almost exclusively for Jordy Nelson matched up against Byron Maxwell and never threw in Richard Sherman’s direction. On Saturday, the Seahawks moved one step closer to becoming the first team to “Re-Pete’’ since the Patriots a decade ago. Wilson threw three touchdown passes, Kam Chancellor returned an interception 90 yards for a touchdown and
the Seahawks beat the Carolina Panthers 31-17. “It’s exciting but the job is not done. There is still a lot more to do,’’ Wilson said. At Foxborough, Massachusetts, Brady twice rallied the Patriots from 14-point deficits — the first team to do that in NFL playoff history — to advance to the AFC championship game for the fourth straight year with a 35-31 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Brady completed 33 of 50 passes for 367 yards for an offence that ran for only 14, the second fewest in team playoff history. Brady’s 46th career playoff touchdown pass, a decisive 23-yard toss to Brandon LaFell with just over five minutes left, surpassed Joe Montana’s 45 for most in NFL history. “Behind twice by 14 wasn’t necessarily in the plan,’’ Brady said. “It took a lot of execution to overcome it.’’

The Angel On Your Shoulder By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin
There’s an angel on your shoulder Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care. There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul. She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side. In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right. In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light. Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder.

In life and always Rob you will be forever loved and cherished.
She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven trees, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place. And on the cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, so eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow; But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind of peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

January 2, 1969 - January 4, 2015 It is with profound sadness and heartbreak we announce the sudden passing of our dear Rob at home just two days after celebrating his 46th birthday.

His natural artistic ability, evident by the age of 5, was a hobby which he enjoyed throughout his life. Although losing his Dad devastated Rob he continued to be an upbeat and caring man who loved people and made many friends. The family would like to thank the neighbour, a paramedic, who rushed over to help as well as the BC Ambulance Service, and Kamloops Fire and Rescue personnel who tried feverishly to help Rob.

Perjury case against RCMP will proceed: judge VANCOUVER — An RCMP officer who stunned Robert
Dziekanski with a Taser at Vancouver’s airport lost an attempt
yesterday (Jan. 12) to dismiss a perjury charge related to his
testimony in 2009. Const. Kwesi Millington was among
four officers who confronted Dziekanski during his fatal
encounter with police in October 2007, and all four were later
Better together.
charged with perjury over their testimony given at a public inquiry two years later. The Crown, which alleges the officers colluded to lie to investigators and then perjure themselves at the inquiry, wrapped up its case against Millington late last year. Millington’s lawyer then made an application to end the trial and throw out the charge, arguing the Crown had produced no evidence that could support a conviction. But, a judge has said the Crown had put forward some evidence that, if true, could support a guilty verdict, though he cautioned that his ruling had no bearing on Millington’s verdict. — The Canadian Press

ABBOTSFORD — A police officer in British Columbia is getting far more than guidance and advice from one of his supervisors. Det. Roy McBeth of the Abbotsford Police Department is slated to receive a kidney from fellow officer Insp. Kevin Wright tomorrow (Jan. 14). McBeth said he was overwhelmed when Wright offered to be a donor after learning of his colleague’s challenges with a degenerative kidney disease. The 44-year-old detective was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease as a child, a condition that runs in his family. The pair has worked together since McBeth joined the Fraser Valley force in 2004. After their recovery, the two men plan on running a half-marathon relay together in Penticton in August to raise awareness about the Living Organ Program.

Third arrest in alleged Ottawa terror plot OTTAWA — The RCMP have arrested a third Ottawa man in an alleged terrorist conspiracy. The Mounties charged Suliman Mohamed, 21, with
in a terrorist activity with two other Ottawa men. On Friday, twin brothers Ashton Carleton Larmond and Carlos Larmond of Ottawa were charged with
the criminal offence of participation in the activity of a terrorist group. Mohamed was also charged yesterday (Jan. 12) with conspiracy to participate
terrorism-related offences. A lawyer for the brothers said Saturday they planned to vigorously dispute the charges. — The Canadian Press
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — An international body has joined Canadian domestic calls for a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls. A report from The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, an arm of the Organization of American States, says an inquiry or national action plan is needed to get at the root of the problem. The report, issued in Washington, followed an investigation the commission conducted in Canada in 2013. The body spoke with government officials, opposition politicians and native representatives in both Ottawa and British Columbia. “The IACHR considers that there is much more to understand and to acknowledge in relation to the missing and murdered indigenous women,’’ the report said. “This initiative must be organized in consultation with indigenous peoples, particularly indigenous women, at all stages.’’ The report said aboriginal women in Canada are murdered or disappear at a rate four times higher than their representation in the population. Canadian activists who have been pressing a reluctant federal government for just such an inquiry welcomed the OAS report. Claudette Dumont-Smith, executive director of the Native Women’s Association of Canada, said the government should heed its warnings. “This requires leadership from the government of Canada, since its leadership and participation is necessary in order to ensure nationwide coordinated, effective efforts,’’ Dumont-Smith told a news conference in Ottawa. “This is what the government has — so far — not done.’’ That sentiment was echoed by Holly Johnson, chair of the Canadian Feminist Alliance for International Action. “Canadian governments have a lot of work to do to address the human rights abuses of aboriginal women, and this means addressing historic and current inequalities and discrimination that are at the root of this violence and the missing aboriginal women,’’ Johnson said. “The commission joins a growing demand across our country — and internationally now — for a national inquiry to understand how these factors affect women’s vulnerability to violence and how these factors must be addressed.’’ Perry Bellegarde, national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, called the report valuable and insightful. He said it identified “the critical failure of governments and policing across Canada to meet their obligations under international and regional human rights law to guarantee equality, by failing to exercise due diligence in preventing and responding to violence against indigenous women and girls.’’ Josh Paterson, executive director of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, said governments are failing in their duty to prevent violence and discrimination. “Governments must address the failure of the justice system and police to protect indigenous women and girls, but they must also do much more to ensure that indigenous women’s fundamental human rights are protected,’’ he said.

speaking TOOTHBRUSH CARE! SIX TIPS FOR THE NEW YEAR.
Felicitations Kamloops! 2015 has arrived in cahoots with another year full of resolutions! I spent a lovely New Years up at Sun Peaks with my boys Dr. Preety Desai braving the frigid yet brilliant mountain tops of our ski hill. All of my boys, and yes including the husband, forgot to pack their toothbrushes for the couple of nights and apparently it was my fault - evidently I am the resident “toothbrush packer”. So being the diligent parent and responsible oral caretaker, I strolled over to the local market and purchased 3 multi coloured brushes before the night was out. The owner/ cashier started to laugh, “What’s your new year’s resolution…… promising to brush more in 2015?” I was dumbstruck! A dental joke from a non dentist! He did not know I was a dentist and I startled to chuckle, suggesting that there was such a meager selection of oral care products and he pointed out that it was apparently the bestselling item! On the subject of toothbrushes, electric or manual, you probably have no idea what manner of life is procreating on your brush’s bristles. The mouth is home to over 500 species of pathogens and microbiota including yeasts, parasites, intestinal and coliform bacteria and yes ….. fecal germs! Toothbrushes are located in one’s bathroom exposing the bristles to aerosol effects from toilet flushing or enteric bacteria which can transfer to toothbrushes and into people’s mouths due to inadequate hand-washing. “Mythbusters” even tested 24 toothbrushes and found enteric microorganisms on all of them -- even those that had not been inside of a bathroom. So what are the best ways to avoid all this?: 1. Clean your brush. Rinse with hot water after brushing to remove any remaining saliva, toothpaste and debris. I also throw them in the dishwasher especially when the kids were young 2. Storage. Upright and dry is the best and inside a cupboard. Never use a closed container because damp environments are more conducive to the growth of microorganisms. If more than one brush is stored in an area, keeping them separate to prevent cross-contamination. 3. Buy a new brush often. Toothbrushes should be replaced at least every 2-3 months and way before bristles become frayed and worn and of course when they are splayed…… that is way too late 4. Don’t share! Especially married couples. This seems like a no-brainer, but many spouses may or may not admit to “borrowing” the other’s brush but this also means they are also borrowing and sharing the bacteria on those brushes - think what happens when one spouse is sick! 5. Get a new brush if you’ve been sick. All microorganisms can be transferred to your bristles and thus replacement of the toothbrush after an illness is mandatory 6. Washing your hands after using the toilet and prior to using your toothbrush is of course vital and mandatory So Kamloops, remember these hints for the new year and especially remember to pack your toothbrush (and floss) when travelling so you don’t have to beg, borrow, buy, or steal another’s!

Annual event selling out quickly From B!
In the festival’s 17th year, that event has already sold out, as have several others. Shier’s favourite — Taste of Sun Peaks — however, is one of the remaining events. Held on Wednesday, Jan. 21, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., it features small plate creations and cheese, paired with eight B.C. wineries. It is held at the Sun Peaks Grand and also features live entertainment.
Schier is encouraging anyone who would like to check out this year’s festival to purchase tickets sooner than later. “This year has been really successful,” she said. There are two new events this year: The Explorer Series, a five-course tasting menu and wine parings held at the Voyageur Bistro, and I Heard It Through the Grapevine, a wine-tasting, dinner and dance to kick off the festival
on Friday, Jan. 16. For those looking to strap on their skis or snowboard while they’re up on the hill, the mountain has benefited from over a foot of new snow in the past week after a historic snowstorm in Kamloops. “That’s really set us up well for the rest of January and, actually, for the rest of the season,” Schier said of recent snowfall. With events throughout the week, on weekends, early
and late — there’s a wine event for everyone’s schedule. Other noteworthy events include various brunches and events that feature grilledcheese sandwiches and chocolate. For a full description of the many events happening during the festival or to learn about various packages, including overnight stays on the hill, go online to sunpeaksresort.com or call 1-800-8073257.

Review: Jaguar F-Type Coupe a fast cat DRIVEWAY CANADA
A
sI dropped my aging butt into the heavily contoured driver’s seat
of Jaguar’s new F-Type Coupe, the first thing I learned was that it was a long way down. High doorsills made ingress, even more challenging but the hardship of entry was well worth its cost. With the introduc-
tion of its F-Type, the storied British marque now offers hope to greying loyalists needing validation that 60 is the new 40. Regardless of age, the machine rewards its pilot with an exhilarating driving experi-

ence, more Porschelike in its execution than Jaguar-traditional. The F-Type — nominally regarded as today’s version of the revered E-Type — arrived on Canadian soil as a 2014 model, available only as a convertible roadster. For the 2015 model year, Jaguar put a lid on its edgy two-seater with the introduction of the Coupe version. Its stunning lines steal the spotlight from the near-venerated convertible. Surprisingly, the sensual body of the UK’s latest icon encompasses plenty of head and legroom, not to mention decently sized stowage beneath its narrow rear hatch. But, Costco capacity isn’t a hallmark of sports cars, the F-Type included. Of greater importance is what’s beneath the bonnet. A range of three powerplants are available, two of which are supercharged V6 mills each displacing three litres, yet developing 340 and 380 horsepower respectively. The subject of this week’s review is the brawnier of the pair, denoted by the “S” within the Coupe’s nomenclature. A third engine choice ups the testosterone immensely.
F-TYPE COUPE SPECS POWER: 340 horsepower, 3.0 litre V6 supercharged engine PERFORMANCE: Zero to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds FUEL ECONOMY: 11.8 8.4 L/100 km city and highway STARTING PRICE: $72,900
The supercharged five-litre V8 beneath the hood of the F-Type R Coupe dispenses a massive 550 horsepower to the Jag’s rear wheels. All three engines are backed by a ZF QuickShift eight-speed

automatic transmission with shift paddles. With regret, I must inform our driving purists that the F-Type — Coupe or Convertible — is not available with a manual transmission. Pity, really. Nonetheless, this cat has claws and plenty of forced-fed performance. Unlike its more traditional siblings, the F-Type doesn’t impart the soothing qualities of a restrained engine note and supple underpinnings. Nope. Nada. Rather, it is raucous, brash and, by some accounts — that being my better half’s — uncivil. The raunchiness is justified though given the exceptional performance capabilities and egoistic essence of the machine. Jaguar literature pins a zero to 100km/h time of just 4.3 seconds on the F-Type R Coupe and 4.9 seconds on the slightly tamer S version.
The base car arrives at 100km/h in 5.3 seconds, yet there’s far more to this cat’s ability than sprinting. I particularly enjoyed my tester’s quick, precise steering and exceptional roadfeel. Communicative steering allows the driver to feel every little tug and tag the road surface inflicts upon the wheels, which the F-Type delivers with little filtering. This quality also enables the driver to sense the approaching adhesion limits of the rubber, which is essential for track driving. I had the opportunity to drive the F-Type on Mission Raceway’s road course last year and know from that experience just how competitively the car performs. There is true sports car DNA here with driving dynamics further hastened by highly responsive brakes, which clamp immediately and remain predictable, linear and fade-free throughout. While the F-Type may not be my choice with a free pass to the Jaguar showroom, it’s a watershed vehicle for the storied manufacturer, and one that deserves every bit of praise it receives.

EYE ON COMMUNITY
B7
[share with us] If you have a photo of a charity donation, a grand-opening picture or other uplifting images, email them to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com, with “eye on community” in the subject line.
Welcome to KTW’s Eye On Community page, where we showcase, through the camera lens, positive events in Kamloops.
GREAT GRATITUDE: Staff and customers at the Valleyview Shoppers Drug Mart store raised $4,890 in their 2014 Tree of Life Campaign. The money was donated to the Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre (KSACC) and will be used for programs that need funding. In the photo (left to right): Jody Beesley and Mevonny Dorman (KSACC agency co-ordinators), Michael Tesch (Shoppers assistant manager) and Jum Motokado (Shoppers owner/pharmacist).
HALF-CENTURY OF HELPING: The Can-Ital Ladies Society is a 50-year-old, local, non-profit organization made up of ladies of Italian heritage. The club started with 20 ladies (nine of whom are still members today) and has grown to more than 100 members. The aim of the society is to promote friendship, cultural, social and charitable causes. Since its Sept. 1, 1964, incorporation, the group has donated close to $600,000 to various causes in Kamloops and internationally. Its most recent endeavour is the Rapid Access Breast Care Centre, to which the Can-Ital Ladies recently donated $30,000 via the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation.
BUD FORBES PHOTO BLAZERS HELP PROVIDE WARMTH: On Jan. 7, Kamloops Blazers Patrik Maire (37), Deven Sideroff (34) and Luke Harrison (17)volunteered at St. Paul’s Cathedral Out of the Cold program. The weekly program at the downtown Kamloops church offers the homeless a warm bed to escape the cold for the night.
FRANCO’S TAKES THE CAKE: Franco’s Automotive client Chris Rose (left) joined service technicians Richard Karczewski, Bob Berrevoets, Doug Christensen and co-owner Andrew Meekel (far right) as owner Franco Annicchiarico (centre) presented a large Christmas panettonne cake to New Life Mission executive director Stan Dueck at the auto shop near River Street on Christmas Eve. The extra large Italian Christmas cake fed many visitors at the mission and has been a tradition at Franco’s Auto for the past 12 years.

MATH MINDBENDER STILL MORE MARBLES
I have some marbles. Each is one of these colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. There is at least one marble of each colour and fewer than 10 of each colour. 1) The number of red marbles can be evenly divided by the number of yellow marbles. 2) There are fewer green marbles than blue marbles. 3) There is a different number of marbles for each of the colours. 4) There is an even number of marbles for each of the colours red, yellow, and violet. 5) There are fewer blue marbles than violet marbles. 6) The total number of red, orange, and yellow marbles is equal to one-half of the total number of marbles. 7) None of the numbers of marbles of each colour are prime, except for one of them. (The prime numbers in the range of 1 to 9 are 2, 3, 5 and 7.) How many marbles are there of each of the colours?
Send your answer to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com. Deadline is 4 p.m. on Friday, January 16. Answer to last week’s More Buttons puzzle:
Q: What is the best way to collect garbage on a dead-end road? A: For the first load, start at the far end with an empty truck and work back. For subsequent loads, resume where you last picked up. Nothing is saved by starting at the closest point. You are going to have to go all the way to the end eventually anyway and it is better to deadhead on an empty truck as it saves some fuel (less weight).
