WORKSAFE BC PROBES DEATH AT TIRE PLANT Investigators with WorkSafeBC remained at a Dallas retread plant yesterday (Jan. 28) investigating the death of a worker pinned beneath a large tire and a delivery vehicle. WorkSafeBC said the accident took place in the early morning of Tuesday at the Fountain Tire retread and mining tire plant. Despite social-media posts expressing condolences to the victim’s family, an official with B.C. Coroners Service said it is withholding the worker’s name pending notification of kin. The coroner’s office is working alongside WorkSafeBC investigators. Scott McCloy, spokesman with WorkSafeBC, said its investigators were on site Tuesday and yesterday interviewing witnesses and studying training, supervision and workplace procedures. The accident happened some time after the tire delivery. “This is a tragic accident,” he said. “Workers don’t expect to be hurt or fatally injured at work.” A representative from Fountain Tire said the shop stopped operations after the accident and was not restarted as of yesterday morning. The company would not comment on the incident other than to say it is co-operating with WorkSafeBC. McCloy said the report detailing the fatality will be produced to help other workplaces avoid injuries or fatalities on the job.

FALLING HARD FOR SKATING

Four-year-old Savannah Thompson appears to be having as much fun learning to fall as she does learning to skate. The youngster took to the ice at Valleyview Arena yesterday (Jan. 28) with mom Laurie.

The province had put on hold all applications to be part of an advisory group for the proposed KGHM Ajax copper and gold mine. The decision comes in the wake of objections to the inclusion of a pro-mining organization into the advisory group. Four groups were told yesterday (Jan. 28) their applications were on hold pending discussion within the Ajax community advisory group, a roundtable of local associations providing input into the proposed mine south of Aberdeen. Len Piggin, a member of the community advisory group by way of Kamloops Fly Fishers Association, said the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office initially accepted three groups — Kamloops Physicians for a Health Environment Society, TRU Faculty human rights committee and Kamloops Exploration Group (KEG) into the fold. However, a number of people on the committee, dominated by opponents of the mine, objected to KEG joining. KEG is an association of grassroots prospectors and geologists that promotes mining in the region. It was singled out to be excluded, Piggin said, based in part on the views of geoscientist Perry

Grunenberg, who was to be KEG’s appointed member. Grunenberg has written a number of letters to the editor in support of Ajax and the process. “This is a democratic society here and we should be inclusive,” Piggin said. Grunenberg, a professional geoscientist, said the composition of the group is stacked against the mine. “I do not perceive the current composition of the CAG to be balanced. Rather, it is becoming a coalition of representation that is most certainly against the mine ever going into operation, some under the banner ‘Stop Ajax Mine,’” he told KTW in an email. “That is not a fair representation of the community.” After inquiries by KTW, the EAO, which oversees the advisory group, sent a letter to all prospective new entrants, informing them their applications are now on hold. “Following the new membership’s decision, it became clear to EAO that there are outstanding issues to be addressed regarding membership and the role of members,” project assessment manager Tracy James wrote n a letter to the groups. “EAO has decided to put all applications and offers for new membership on hold, pending further discussions with the existing CAG.” See COMMITTEE, A11

HUNTERS GATHER TONIGHT IN KAMLOOPS MEETING IN ABERDEEN TO OPPOSE CHANGES IN PROVINCIAL REGULATIONS CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Local hunters are taking aim at the B.C. Liberal government’s proposed changes to hunting regulations, changes they say favour tourists over taxpayers. The B.C. Wildlife Federation (BCWF) and the Kamloops Fish and Game Association are holding a forum tonight (Jan. 29) at 7 p.m. at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre to rally opposition to the proposed changes. Federation member and local organizer Verne Sundstrom said he expects hunters to come from Kamloops, Chase and Salmon Arm to hear details on the BCWF’s position.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resoruce Operations proposes reallocating about 600 limited-entry hunt (LEH) tags from resident hunters to non-resident hunters — tourists under care of guide outfitters. LEH tags give hunters the opportunity to hunt for highly managed game, including moose, elk and grizzly bear. “For myself or my son, we go hunting for moose. We apply for LEH tags,” Sundstrom said, adding among his circle of 10 or so hunting friends, success in the lottery for LEH tags is slim. “Over that time, we’ve got one drawn,” he said. The reallocation would not affect general

hunting opportunities. Instead, it would adjust the ratio of resident hunters and guide outfitters for LEH opportunities, most of them in the North. The only LEH draws in the Kamloops area are for sheep. However, Sundstrom said, hunters from the region travel across the province for the opportunity to hunt moose, for example. The ministry estimates the proposed changes would give 186 animals to guide outfitters and their clients — the highest-spending tourists who visit the province. But, Sundstrom said, based on an estimated 20 per cent success ratio for resident hunters, that equates to nearly 1,000 lost hunting opportunities for B.C. hunters.

Society drops one lawsuit, will pursue second The society that helps immigrants settle in Kamloops has dropped its lawsuit against one of two employees who worked there six years ago. Frank Scordo, lawyer for both the Kamloops-Cariboo Regional Immigrants Society (KIS) and director Bernard Igwe, told a B.C. Supreme Court justice the board and Igwe will no longer pursue a claim against Deborah Harrison. The society continues to pur-

sue former executive director Wanda Herman for breach of duties, breach of confidentiality, defamation and abuse of process. It alleges she conspired to bring down the board and damage the reputation of the society. The events date from 2009, when the society was in an upheaval and suffering from what one director called a toxic workplace. The board eventually fired all its employees.

But, the KIS has dropped a claim that Herman failed to file paperwork to obtain a gaming grant, something the society said cost it $103,000. “My instructions are that part of the claim will be abandoned,” Scordo told Justice Jeanne Watchuk at a trial management conference on Friday, Jan. 23. The KIS is also withdrawing a claim that Herman misappropriated about $4,000 by claiming a personal trip for business

reasons. Scordo said the society apologies for that allegation. Despite the withdrawal of some claims, the society and Igwe continue to pursue Herman for about $250,000 in damages. The trial is set for three weeks in early March. Herman has filed a counterclaim against the society that will be heard at the same trial. Harrison’s action against the society for wrongful dismissal will be heard in small-claims court.

TRU print-shop layoffs sign of digital times DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Technology may have played a role in the layoff of unionized staff at Thompson Rivers University’s print shop. Lois Rugg, president of Local 4870 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees — which represents non-faculty unionized staff — told KTW this week she had just learned of the layoffs and was still looking into the situation. Rugg speculated faculty may not be using the printing department as much now as in past years, impacting its bottom line. She said one of the three employees has seen their job go from full-time to two days a week, while the other two employees were laid off. A new single position is being created to absorb the work the pair had been doing. Rugg said the three all have seniority and skill sets that should assist them in bumping into other positions on campus or having priority in job openings for which they are qualified. They can also take severance and

leave the university’s employment. Rugg said she had also just learned a work-study student had been hired for the department, but noted rules on that type of position only allow the student to work eight hours a week and be paid minimum wage. Tom Friedman, president of the TRU Faculty Association, said he suspects both faculty and students are using digital assignments more than in the past and not printing essays. “With online course-management utilities such as Moodle and Blackboard, faculty can post course outlines, schedules and assignments digitally and students can submit essays and other assignments without printing,” Friedman said. Christopher Seguin, the university’s vice-president advancement, confirmed the layoffs and reduction in hours. While he could not confirm any financial loss, he said the department has experienced a 25 per cent reduction in work from last year. Seguin said the main work of the print department is producing teaching materials.

A Fijian who immigrated to Canada as a boy may face deportation to the South Pacific country following his sentence in provincial court on a robbery charge. Feroz Kamahl Buksh pleaded guilty to one count each of robbery and use of an imitation firearm in connection to a heist at a North Shore market, where he broke down in tears in the middle of a demand for money from the till. In Kamloops Law Courts, Judge Stephen Harrison accepted a joint submission from the Crown and defence for an 18-month jail sentence. “Mr. Buksh is a sympathetic character,” Harrison acknowledged. Prior to the robbery, Buksh had no criminal record. He blamed his divorce and deaths of his mother and brother in Fiji for sending him into a spiral in which he was “homeless, broke, hungry and addicted to speed,” said Harrison, who read a letter entered by Buksh into the sentencing hearing. The hearing included a

“

Mr. Buksh is a sympathetic character. I have to say as well that robberies of this sort are far too frequent in this community.

”

— JUDGE STEPHEN HARRISON

defence submission about the impact of a sentence on Buksh’s future in Canada. Buksh is a permanent resident and does not have citizenship despite living in Canada since he was 11 years old. His two adult children were in the courtroom. Article student Jay Michi told Harrison the Conservative government’s new legislation, the Faster Removal of Foreign Criminals Act, means anyone living in Canada without citizenship and sentenced to more

than six months in jail may face deportation without appeal. Buksh, 44, walked into the Tranquille Market store at 1170 Tranquille Rd. at just before 2 p.m. on Sept. 19 and asked the clerk for some hot food and 10 packs of cigarettes. Buksh tried to pay for the items with a pre-paid Visa card. When that failed, he demanded money from the till and said he had a gun. Amid the demand, Buksh began to cry, telling the clerk he was going to use the money to pay for bills, explaining he was in midst of divorce. Buksh grabbed the money and ran outside. As he did, the bag broke and its contents spilled out. Shortly afterwards, police found him hiding in the closet in a friend’s house. “I have to say as well that robberies of this sort are far too frequent in this community,” Harrison said. “People who work these jobs in corner stores and markets should not have to fear this.” Buksh has already spent three months in jail after he breached his bail. He will also serve 18 months’ probation.

FROM THE FAMILY OF CPL. JEANRENE MICHAUD:

THANK YOU

The Kamloops RCMP has released a statement of gratitude, written by Colleen Michaud, the wife of Kamloops RCMP Cpl. JeanRene Michaud, who was shot during a traffic stop in Batchelor Heights on Dec. 3. Michaud remains in hospital in Vancouver, but is expected to be transferred back to Royal Inland Hospital to continue his recovery.

Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9. Each number can appear only once in each row, column, and 3x3 block. Use logic and process of elimination to solve the puzzle.

Thank-you statement from Cpl. Michaud’s family: Every law-enforcement spouse fears that one day, they will get “the knock” at the door to tell us our loved one has been hurt, but most of us think, “It will not happen to me.” On Dec. 3, 2014, I received that knock in the middle of the night and my world was shattered. My husband, Jean-Rene Michaud, was shot multiple times and critically wounded in a senseless and unforgivable act of violence. Jean-Rene is the loving father of our two young children and an amazing, supportive husband. He is a hard-working, proactive, dedicated member of the RCMP who has a passion for making the communities we are posted in safer. Our family has suffered a great deal of pain over the last two months and I am deeply saddened and angry that two more families are experiencing similar pain over the recent, senseless act of violence in Alberta. These members are people who have dedicated their lives to making the world a better place. They are sons, fathers, husbands and integral

members of the communities they live and serve in. What happened to them is completely unacceptable. Jean-Rene has endured many surgeries, countless complications with setbacks and will still have a long road to recovery — but he has shown courage and strength every step of the way. We are finally feeling confident that he will overcome his substantial injuries and we are hoping he will be medically stable enough to transport back to Royal Inland Hospital shortly. Our family has received overwhelming support, not only from residents of Kamloops, but also from across Canada. Words cannot describe how thankful we are for your words of encouragement and your thoughtfulness. Your messages have given me strength in the darkest of days and I know they will help JeanRene throughout his recovery. We would like to thank and recognize the RCMP members, dispatch workers and other first responders who were on scene that night, as well as all of the amazing care providers at Royal Inland Hospital and in Vancouver for doing everything you did to keep Jean-Rene alive. We also extend our deepest gratitude to Thompson Rivers University, Nick Grabas of Anything Paint and Body, West Jet, Air Canada and numerous local businesses that have contributed in many ways. Thank you to our amazing neighbours, families, friends, the people in Kamloops and to the law-enforcement agencies from across Canada for their support. And, finally, to our RCMP family — thank you will never be enough to sum up how grateful we are for you. You were there for Jean-Rene that night and your presence not only saved his life, but also gave him great comfort. You have supported me in every way through this difficult journey and you have rallied together to help Jean-Rene. It was heartbreaking to not be with our children for Christmas, but you made sure their Christmas was magical regardless — and for that we are forever grateful. You are an incredible family to be a part of. Thank you for your unwavering support.

MORTGAGE MATTERS UNIQUE MORTGAGE PRODUCTS THAT FIT YOU AND YOUR LIFESTYLE In today’s competitive lending environment, banks are fighting for your business. The result? Many lending institutions are lowering interest rates like never before and are creating specialized niche products. Here are a few examples: 10 year mortgages – Looking for payment security over the long term? The 10 year mortgage is for people who find comfort in stable financial payments and want to limit their risk to potential high interest rates over the next decade. Flex down payment mortgages – Having trouble raising enough money for a down payment? The flex down mortgage offers buyers the chance to use borrowed money to buy a home. The bank expects the borrower to have good credit and good employment to qualify. This type of product may allow you to buy now and stop paying high rents. 5% cash back mortgages – Can’t afford that truck payment plus a mortgage? If you have a down payment, but can’t afford to use it for both bill reduction and buying a home, then the cash back mortgage is an option. You can use the 5% for anything you want – home renovations, pay off bills, add to savings. Purchase plus improvements – Can’t find anything in your price range you like? The purchase plus improvements mortgage allows you to increase your mortgage by up to 20% of your purchase price to renovate your home. This way, you can buy a less expensive home and renovate it the way you want – all included in your mortgage. This program does not cover pools and hot tubs, but roofs, walls, kitchens, bathrooms are fine. Purchase plus improvement mortgages are available at very competitive rates. Equity Mortgages – Has the bank said “no” because of your income, but you have strong equity in your home? There are lenders who will take into account the equity you have built up in your home and lend on that instead of income. 50% (50% ownership) and 65% (35% ownership) loan to value percentages are often acceptable to lenders. The lender will always ask for an appraisal and will expect the borrower to have excellent credit. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today.

OIL PRICES UNITE MORTAL ENEMIES

n one of those unintended consequences of life, the sudden drop in oil prices beginning late last year has united two forces who in other circumstances are mortal enemies. One is Big Oil, that all-encompassing description for the myriad energy companies doing business around the world. The other is the coalition of groups and individuals consumed with climate change and the need, they say, for people to save the world from their own actions. The common target of each group is the lowly consumer, the person who suffered through the times of prices in the $1.40 and higher range per litre and who is now paying less than a buck a litre. Both Big Oil and the climate-change coalition seem to think the consumer should feel guilty because of the lower prices. In the world of Big Oil, lower energy prices mean reduced profits and cuts to budgets. Somehow, they believe, you should be happy to pay higher prices as your patriotic duty to support the economy. The climate-change people want the consumer to feel guilty because, by paying less at the pump, that somehow translates into more environmental damage via increased use of vehicles. As sure as the sun sets in the west, the price of oil will rise. And all will be well within the world of Big Oil and the climatechange crowd. In the meantime, back off and let the consumer enjoy these lower prices while he or she can.

Anti-terror bill is terrible

parent expressed concern to me recently about new legislation being introduced by Prime Minister Stephen Harper this week in the House of Commons. Now, to be fair, many parents express worries to me about anything Harper does. But, in this particular case, the parent’s concern is about Harper’s anti-terror bill that will allow the government to know more about each of us and focus on what it calls radicalization in young people. Among one of the tools under consideration is more aggressive monitoring of things people say that the government thinks promotes terrorism. Here’s why the parent is concerned. A few years ago, an RCMP officer knocked at the family’s door and began asking the parent questions about her son. The questions were somewhat innocuous — about his age and whether he goes to school — before focusing on the teen’s mental health. Confused, the parent asked the officer what the point of the questioning was and was told the son was being investigated for a possible terrorist link. Why? Because this teenager and some of his friends had posted

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL things on their Facebook page about how they wished Harper wasn’t the prime minister. Being teenagers, the language they used was not circumspect, but a bit out there, a bit inflammatory. However, as the parent said, it was the kind of language one might expect from a teenager still learning about life. This teen wasn’t the only one questioned. Again, as is the dictate of the social-media world in which many teens exist, several of his friends had weighed in with their own opinions that a new government was needed. The language could be viewed as childish — or, as the parent discovered, potential radicalization, as the officer felt it was. Nothing came of the investigation, although some of the teens were questioned by the officer.

This parent refused to let the officer speak to her son, ordering the Mountie off her property. So, here’s the question the parent posed — at what point does a young person’s viewpoints cross that line? The parent showed me some of the postings and, yes, an adult might find them a bit childish. The comments included: “Why can’t someone just take over the government and do things better?” There have been many times I’ve wondered that question myself. What words are the triggers? What words will lead monitors to stop seeing the normal questioning of a young person becoming politically engaged in his or her world and see someone hopping a plane for the Middle East? More importantly, who will make those decisions? For this particular parent, it meant a talk with her son about the new reality that comes with the anticipated passing of this anti-terror bill. The sad thing is, when they had that talk, all it did was confirm to her teen his belief that he’s right — the country could use a new government.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR THEORIES ON THE DRIVING HABITS OF THE RIVER CITY Editor: I have driven for decades and, in the few years I have spent in Kamloops, I have observed some interesting driving habits. I have often pondered why some folks drive the way they do and have developed a few theories that I believe help to explain their behaviour. 1) Snow causes synaptic failure of the brain. The greater the snowfall, the greater the failure, which includes, but is not limited to, tailgating when there are three inches of unplowed snow on the road, passing when the roads are sheer ice and, my personal favourite, passing snowplows on the right. 2) Red and yellow lights are suggestions. They can be ignored as long as you are close enough to the intersection. 3) Summit from McGill to Mission Flats is not a road, but a race track. If you can pass at least two vehicles and jam back into the right lane before the hairpin corner, you win! 4) While driving the Coquihalla, many minivan drivers are speeders, regardless of road conditions. This, in part, may be due to feelings of inadequacy because of the

SOUTH KAMLOOPS HOOPSTERS WERE ALL GENTLEMEN Editor: I am writing so say how impressed I was with the deportment of the South Kamloops secondary boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball team and their coach when I met them recently at the Merritt Subway restaurant. I entered at the end of the line, ready to wait my turn to order a sub, when they all moved aside and invited me to advance to the

front and get my order first. I know a teenaged boy is a finely tuned eating machine, so I was particularly impressed by this spontaneous gesture of respect for a senior citizen. Before I left, we had a short, congenial conversation and I met their coach, a gentleman like his players. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been retired for seven years, but I recall

clearly how often high-school students were criticized unfairly for their behaviour. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see our kids are just as compassionate and well-mannered as they were when I was a teacher. My best to all of them. Howard Baker Merritt secondary drama teacher 1995 to 2007

In 1959, Cuba had one medical school and a little more than 6,000 doctors, most of whom were in private practice in provincial capitals on the Caribbean island. After the Cuban revolution, when Fidel Castro, Che Guevara and company ousted the Batista dictatorship, about half of those doctors left for the United States. That vacuum forced Cuba to accelerate the training of doctor — and to approach medicine in a drastically different way. So began the quick history lesson on Monday night (Jan. 26) at Thompson Rivers University as Che Guevara’s daughter, Dr. Aleida Guevara, a pediatrician, spoke through an interpreter to an audience of about 200. The occasion was the sixth International Che Guevara Conference, which began on Jan. 23 in Vancouver and ended with three lectures in Kamloops on Monday night and a concert on Tuesday night at the Smorgasbord Deli by noted Cuban musician Gerardo Alfonso. Guevara was joined at TRU by Jose Luis Rodriguez Garcia, specialist in the

Cuban economy and the former Cuban minister of the economy, and Alberto Prieto, co-ordinator of North and Central America for the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba. The former spoke on the Cuban economy’s roller-coaster ride and the latter touched on U.S.-Cuban relations in light of the Dec. 17 announcement by U.S. President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro on the beginning of restoration of diplomatic relations. Guevara’s talk on the practice and philosophy of health care received repeated ovations from the audience in the Ike Barber Centre, particularly when she focused on the core values of health care from a Cuban perspective following the revolution. “The only medicine to be practised would be for the public in public hospitals because health care is a human right,” Guevara said. “And we don’t have the right to negotiate that.” With very few doctors in the early days of a post-Batista Cuba, Guevara noted the situation was dire, highlighted by an infant-mortality rate of 60 per 1,000 babies, “A healthy person is a happy person. A healthy person has a better capacity to learn. A happy person has better possi-

bility to produce,” she said. “So, it was a necessity of the Cuban revolution and it continues to be a priority of our revolution.” Guevara noted that 1959 infantmortality rate of 60 per 1,000 babies has turned into a 2014 rate of 4.2 babies per 1,000 babies. “So, you can all see, we have created a lot because Cuban medicine has a very important characteristic,” she said. “The most important is to prevent disease. It’s a lot easier to prevent than cure.” Guevara also spoke about Cuba’s wellknown international missions, during which doctors are sent abroad to offer medical care. She said there have been 595,482 such missions to 158 countries, with 325,710 health-care workers taking part, some in multiple trips. She said Cuban health-care workers have performed 1.25-million consultations and more than 10-million surgical operations and helped bring into the world more than two-million babies. Such missions have included addressing the Ebola outbreak in west Africa, where, Guevara said, 256 Cuban doctors are now stationed after the World Health Organization asked the island nation for help.

Victim killed on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pleasantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; evening CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The last person to see Albert Michell alive â&#x20AC;&#x201D; along with the man accused of murdering him near Lytton â&#x20AC;&#x201D; told court the three enjoyed a quiet evening drinking a few beer and smoking pot without any conflict. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quite frankly, it was a pleasant social evening for everyone,â&#x20AC;? testified Colin Gilker, a 61-year-old English instructor who taught at Siska First Nation in 2008, when Michell was stabbed to death on the reserve. Cory Bird, 27, is on trial for seconddegree murder in the death of Michell in August 2008. It is Birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second trial. Gilker, now an adult basic-education instructor at Capilano University in North Vancouver, said he knew Michell as a neighbour and socialized with him occasionally. The two lived in the same apart-

ment building in the Fraser Canyon First Nations community. On a weekday in early August 2008, Michell asked Gilker for a ride to nearby Boston Bar. Bird joined the two older men for the ride on the Trans-Canada Highway to the community, where Michell picked up 18 beer and a bottle of liqueur. Gilker, who described Michell as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;good neighbourâ&#x20AC;? during the two years they lived side-by-side, accepted an invitation to come to his apartment after the three returned from Boston Bar. At Michellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house, he testified the three chatted, drank Heineken beer and smoked marijuana. Gilker estimated he had three beer and two or three puffs from a marijuana pipe, while the other two men had about the same. Later, Gilker went back to his apartment, where he fetched a DVD of the movie Apocalypse Now. He brought it back to Michellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place and the three chatted and watched the

movie until about 11 p.m. Gilker said he left about halfway through the movie to go home. The next morning, Bird returned the DVD to Gilkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spouse while he was on the phone some time after 9 a.m. The mood that evening, Gilker testified, was â&#x20AC;&#x153;sociable, friendly and personable.â&#x20AC;? The Crown alleges Bird killed Michell by stabbing him 73 times, an attack that occurred between the time Gilker left the apartment that night and 9 a.m. the next day. Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo said during his opening address to the jury last week that Bird hitchhiked across the country after the murder, eventually being taken into custody following a brief standoff with police in Montreal, during which Bird admitted to officers he had killed a man in B.C. The Crown also said Bird initially told police he was acting in self-defence, but later admitted that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t true.

The committee is split on whether to allow KEG to join its ranks. John Schleiermacher, a member of the group and staunch Ajax opponent, said KEG is â&#x20AC;&#x153;too late in the game,â&#x20AC;? arguing the other two groups have shown interest and done work on the proposal, including commissioning studies and holding forums. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not saying they shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be in. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the time of day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sat on the sidelines since this was proposed,â&#x20AC;? Schleiermacher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the 11th hour they want to deal themselves in.â&#x20AC;? Grunenberg said KEG now realizes the importance of the community advisory group and wants to provide its input and expertise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also citizens of the city and live here,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If anyone understands the impacts, we probably understand them more than most.â&#x20AC;? Groups represented on the community advisory group for the Ajax application include the Kamloops Area Preservation Association, the Kamloops Fish and Game Association, the Grasslands Conservation Council of B.C., the Thompson Watershed Coalition, the Aberdeen Neighbourhood Association, local cattlemen and the Pineview Neighbourhood Association.

For more than 16,000 visitors, the B.C. Wildlife Park’s Wildlights event was a chance to enjoy a night out at the zoo. But, for the animals and staff of the park, the annual holiday event is crucial to maintaining the east Kamloops park during its January and February hibernation period. “In January and February, our revenue stream is basically zero,” park general manager Glenn Grant said. “We’re closed during the week and only open on weekends and holidays, and that makes it difficult when we’ve still got the

same costs to keep the lights on and have our staff feed and care for the animals.” Wildlights, which ran through December and into the first days of January, raised about $180,000 in revenue, which will fund the development of educational programs for the KamloopsThompson school district, as well as for staffing and animal care costs at the park during a time of year when visitors are less likely to make the trek to the outdoor facility. “It’s quite costly to keep all these animals fed properly with a good mix of diets and, unfortunately, in the wintertime the produce is a little harder to come by and prices usually go out a little bit,” Grant said.

“Without an event like Wildlights, we’d be really, really hard-pressed financially to do some of those things. That’s why the event is really so important to the park overall.” Numbers were up at the park for the 2014 event, with more than 16,000 people attending, compared to about 15,500 in 2013. “It would have been even better had we not had the big snowfall on the last day of the event,” Grant said. “That put a kibosh on the last little bit. But, overall, we’re very pleased.” The B.C. Wildlife Park will see a return to steadier visitor traffic and revenues around Easter, Grant said.

During the 2013 Super Bowl, a Dodge ad featured narration by the late Paul Harvey of his famous So God Made a Farmer speech. A talking baby made E-Trade famous during several Super Bowls. However, in the most recent commercial, the baby called it quits.

Apple’s commercial premiering the Mac computer cost about $700,000 in the 1984 Super Bowl, a slot that would cost an upward of $9 million today.

the one day

TO WATCH THE COMMERCIALS

ure, Super Bowl 49 on Sunday, Feb. 1, will feature the defending champion Seattle Seahawks battling the New England Patriots for the Vince Lombardi Trophy — otherwise referred to as the World Championship by various hyperbolic sports announcers, despite the fact only one nation among the 196 on Earth has a professional league of any stature that plays this particular sport. But, we digress and accept the delayof-game penalty that accompanied that opening paragraph. Football fans will be in a frenzy when the two powerhouse squads meet in Phoenix, but a large portion of the hundreds of millions tuning in will also be keen to see those multi-milliondollar movies that are screened between plays. Super Bowl commercials have become so popular, so must-see-TV that it is only a matter of time until a film festival devoted solely to these 30- and 60-second creations materializes in

some swanky resort town. From talking babies to playful monkeys to majestic Clydesdale horses to a pint-sized Darth Vader to Bud-croaking frogs to Mean Joe Green showing his soft side, Super Bowl commercials are always the topic du jour on Monday. A recent gem was the 2013 Dodge commercial, Farmer, featuring narration by the late Paul Harvey of his famous So God Made a Farmer speech that he gave at the 1978 Future Farmers of America convention. While the Los Angeles Raiders dominated the 1984 Super Bowl with a 38-9 thumping of the Washington Redskins, Apple claimed the commercial championship that year with an ad that appeared on TV only once, during the big game. Apple’s iconic 1984 ad spot heralding the introduction of its Macintosh computer featured a Big-Brother-inspired script and was directed by Hollywood filmmaker Ridley Scott, who was behind Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator and many other blockbuster movies.

The minute-long commercial concludes with words on the screen accompanied by a voice-over: “On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce the Macintosh. And you’ll see why 1984 won’t be like ‘1984.” In 2012, Forbes magazine polled its readers and a panel of advertising executives and Apple’s 1984 spot was the consensus pick for greatest Super Bowl commercial of all time. It certainly was the mould from which all Super Bowl commercials have been henceforth made. The commercial had a budget of $900,000 and Apple paid about $700,000 for the minute spot (30-second ad rates in the 1984 Super Bowl were $368,000). In this weekend’s Super Bowl, it will cost $4.5 million to air a 30-second commercial — or $9 million for a one-minute spot. With hundreds of millions of eyes on the product, it’s an expensive gamble many companies feel will be worth a marketing touchdown or two.

Coca-Cola revealed Mean Joe Green’s softer side during a Super Bowl commercial in 1980.

Cindy Crawford made boys drool over Pepsi in a 30-second ad that ran during 1992’s big game.

YOUR HEALTH

President’s own story: 15 years ago I started to have arthritis, prostate, kidney, snoring and sleep apnea problems, which were all helped quickly with natural health products. I made it my life’s purpose to help others. Nick A. Jerch

ARTHRITIS

Pain free in 2 weeks. This is what happened to me personally. I tried drugs, acupuncture, magnets and many other methods. Finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. It gave me the idea that I could help thousands of the 5 million men and women suffering daily in Canada with the worst pain on earth to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle. �For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night with 3 bottles costing less than $100. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON. �Cancelled knee replacement. 1 was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. �At first I was skeptical. I gradually noticed an improvement. Then I took another brand. I was surprised having so much pain again. Eventually I realized that I needed to re-order Bell. Found relief again. Marie Ciraulo, 72, Oakland, CA. �Many people on our website write: “Can walk #1 NPN 80042283 again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister…Also guaranteed for sciatica. Hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

Frequent BATHROOM TRIPS?

Men Bell Prostate Ezee Flow Tea

Men have relief in 3-5 days from dribbling, burning and rushing to the toilet. Relaxes blood flow for better erections. Helps also with male incontinence. Works in virtually every case. If you are considering surgery, try this tea first. Hundreds of delighted men testifying on our web site:�Had to get up every hour at night. Now I get up once a night. Joseph Whittaker, Sewell, NJ � I cancelled my prostate surgery. Get up once a night. I'm so happy not to have to face the torment of a prostate operation and possible incontinence and impotence. Albert E. Blain, 74, Schumacher, ON �Even after TURP prostate surgery and microwave therapy had to get up many times. Now down to 1-2 times. Tea is 100% better than drugs. Robert G. Stocker, Eustasis, FL �After 1st year drinking tea my PSA went down to 4.5; after 2nd year to 2.9; after 3rd year to 2.3. I highly recommend the tea. A real life saver. Thomas M. Thurston, #4a NPN 80051642 Forsyth, GA. Women Ask for #4b Bladder Control Tea for Women. It seems so unbelievable, most women don't know there is a delicious tasting herbal tea available in all health food stores that stops incontinence, bladder infections, UTis within days and women keep on wearing costly pads and diapers. Try the tea. It is guaranteed. Go shopping and travelling again worry free. We have helped tens of thousands of women.

Shape and Health

A new and improved natural product with the proven ocean kelp bladderwrack. Many men and women wrote us that this ocean kelp reduced cravings and hunger for sweets and starchy food.

#5-SH NPN 80051637

�Lost 15 lbs in 3 months. Bell Shape & Health naturally curbed my appetite and actually gave me more energy for workouts. My friends and family are on it now too. Latoya Daniella Scott, 29, Shuterville, SC. �Shape & Health decreased my appetite for sugary food. Lost 5 lbs this month. I feel I have more energy. Thank you. Barbara Huether, 66, Soper, OK. �Finally lost the extra weight I wanted to lose for years. The instructions with Shape & Health helped to be more selective in non-fattening food choices. Krystyne Petermann, 23, Pensacola, FL.

Basso and business

BRIEFS only, putting together other gatherings that are designed to help businesses make more money and have more fun. And, as part of her new focus, Basso will step into a mentoring role with these sessions, she said, teaching “long-lasting happiness habits so they can harness the power of positive energy and manifest a bigger life than they had ever dreamed possible.”

Basso also announced she’s writing and self-publishing a book of inspirational stories. The Ripple Effect of Your Influence will include 25 such stories and she’s looking for people who want to help her with the project. Plans are to print the book in the spring.

or 28 years, young faces have stared back at Dianna Hartnell, clearly eager to hit the ice, but still listening to their instructor’s words of wisdom: “Remember, if you can’t skate, you can’t play the game!” Six weeks from now, when Hartnell teaches her last Peter Puck hockey-school class, she will utter those words one final time before leaving the ice for good. “It’s really tough because I don’t know what I’m going to do when I’m gone,” said Hartnell, who spoke to KTW at the Ice Box, occasionally glancing over at her students. She was in tears. “Everybody says, ‘Oh, you can travel. You can do this. You can do that,” Hartnell said. “But, this is the one job I love most.” Hartnell was on vacation in Arizona last March when she began experiencing extreme pain in her back and was forced to come home. After multiple MRIs and visits with doctors and specialists, it was revealed she is suffering from a degenerative disc disease and cervical stenosis, a slowly progressive condition that pinches the spinal cord in the neck. “The doctor said, ‘If you think you’re going to skate, you have to wear a neck brace. If anyone runs into you, you could be paralyzed,’” Hartnell said. “My legs burn when I’m on the ice. I shouldn’t be out here but, six more weeks, I can do it.” Hartnell, who started the school in 1987, when she was a City of Kamloops employee, knows it’s time to hang up her skates. She has decided to sell her Peter Puck hockey school. It became evident how tough that will be when KTW received 14 emails the day after she was interviewed, each of them with pictures of children she has taught, old newspaper clippings and lists of

Dianna Hartnell has been teaching Peter Puck classes in Kamloops since 1987. Health problems are forcing her to quit doing what she loves most, with her last session scheduled for March 5.

hockey players and officials who learned to skate with her. One email, with the subject line ‘Emotional day,’ read: “If my body was healthy and I live forever, I would do Peter Puck forever!!!!” It might be an exaggeration to say Hartnell is recognized everywhere she goes in Kamloops, but it’s not that much of a stretch. The encounters are often reminders she is no longer in her youth and, more importantly, indications of her long-lasting impact in the River City. “I was at this lady’s place yesterday and her girlfriend walked in,” Hartnell recalled. “She walked in and said, ‘Hey, you taught my son. He’s 28 now.’” Thousands of boys and girls from the Tournament Capital learned skating fundamentals from Hartnell and the school’s instructors, many of whom are former Peter Puck students — “They are amazing. I couldn’t do it without them,” Hartnell said of her helpers. Guest instructors have pitched in over the years, such as NHLers Shane Doan and Mark Recchi. Hartnell’s twin sons, Sean and Stacey, grew up playing minor hockey with Mark. “Mark and [former NHL player]

Murray Baron were always over for pancakes,” Hartnell said with a laugh, noting she also has a daughter, Wanda. Peter Puck students have strutted their stuff during intermissions at Kamloops Blazers’ games. “She has worked very hard to organize events that are mutually beneficial for Peter Puck and the Blazers,” said Ashley Neuls, the local WHL team’s community relations co-ordinator. “Dianna has done a wonderful job with the Peter Puck program, in large part due to her enthusiasm and caring nature toward her players.” Messages like this one — “I really want to thank you immensely for the training that you instilled in David. I still enjoy watching the videos of you patiently kneeling, talking and demonstrating techniques with him when he was only two.” — are posted online at peterpuck. ca, sentiments shared by parents across the city. Peter Puck is not dead in Kamloops. It just won’t be run by Hartnell. If the school doesn’t sell, Hartnell said she will manage it, but her days on the ice will end on March 5, the

last day of winter classes. At the Ice Box, Hartnell asked her students enthusiastically, “Are you ready to have fun?’” Most screamed, ‘Yeah!’ while the cheeky students — there are always a few — replied, ‘No!” Hartnell never missed a beat, smiled throughout and unleashed the future figure-skating and hockey stars into the care of their instructors. As they scattered, Hartnell skated back over to the bench. “The kids. That’s what I get out of it,” she said, again becoming emotional. “It’s going to be tough when I run into them and they ask, ‘Where have you been?’ “They say to me they want to be the best and I say, ‘You are No. 1’. “I really don’t know what I’m going to do without them.”

Canada West likely to scrap new system ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Say goodbye to the Explorer and Pioneer divisions. Canada West basketball is once again courting changes. Thompson Rivers University athletic director Ken Olynyk confirmed to KTW on Tuesday, Jan. 27, that the Canada West Universities Athletic Association is poised to restructure its basketball divisions, which underwent realignment in 2013. Olynyk said the association will vote at its meeting on Monday, Feb. 2, on a proposed three-division system for basketball. Canada West executive director Diane St-Denis confirmed the association is discussing restructuring, but declined to offer details. “Canada West is in the middle of discussing competitive format in several of our sports, one of which includes basketball,” she said.

“We’re not at the point right now where we’re ready to disclose what those formats will look like, when they will start, etc., because we’re still at the conversation phase.” The restructuring would place TRU in a newly formed Pacific Division with the University of British Columbia, the University of the Fraser Valley, the University of Victoria, the University of Northern British Columbia, UBCOkanagan and Trinity Western University. The Mountain Division would include the University of Alberta, the University of Calgary, Lethbridge University, Mount Royal University and MacEwan University.

TRU WolfPack athletic director Ken Olynyk said there is no doubt in his mind proposed Canada West restructuring will be accepted by its member-team athletic directors.

The Prairie Division would include the University of Saskatchewan, the University of Regina, the University of Winnipeg, the University of Manitoba and Brandon University. Olynyk said there’s “no doubt in his mind” the proposed restructuring will be accepted by Canada West’s athletic directors next week. What’s yet to be determined is when it will be implemented. The three-division format will be in place no later than September of 2016, but some schools, including the

in another two months.” For the WolfPack, the restructuring will bring a number of changes, especially in travel costs. Olynyk said the restructuring could have a budgetary impact of as much as $70,000 because the team will need to fly more, a sum that would be difficult to have in place four months after the vote. Olynyk said a number of factors led to the league considering another restructuring after just a single season with the Pioneer/ Explorer divisional arrangement. The distances and costs shouldered by programs like UBC, which was flying to Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba regularly, were among the considerations. But, he doesn’t believe Fraser Valley’s challenge of the alignment, which the school launched in May of 2014, according to the Abbotsford News, had anything to do with the decision to again restructure basketball in Western Canada. St-Denis confirmed the proposed changes have nothing to do with the challenge, citing a regular review of competitive format.

University of the Fraser Valley, are expected to push for it to be approved for the coming season. The Abbotsford-based institution has been the most vocal school since Canada West introduced the Explorer and Pioneer divisions in June of 2013, displeased with being grouped into the Pioneer Division with what perceived to be the conference’s weaker teams. It was a move described by many to be a tiering of Canada West’s teams. “My understanding, and I spoke to the executive director [of Canada West] today, my understanding is that basketball will not entertain, at this meeting in February, going [to the new format in September of 2015],” Olynyk said. “But, it will entertain a motion in May, at our May meeting, if we have the format and everything all decided on. “It would be hard to support that,” he continued, referring to implementing changes in May. “I don’t know how many people would support that. They might, it’s just that, at this point in time, we’ve done all our planning for next year, budget and everything else, on what we have in front of us right now, not what we might have in front of us

The best, idiotic decision of his life Kamloops This Week reporter Adam Williams was in Orlando, Fla. earlier this month, running his first marathon at the 2015 Walt Disney World Marathon. Had he to do it all over again, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a few things he would tell himself.

ADAM WILLIAMS

ear Adam; So, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to run a marathon, eh? Let me tell you, around mile 23 youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to think this was the stupidest idea youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had. But, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll talk more about that later. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better we start from the beginning. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll thank yourself for all the training you did before the race. Remember when you started running in February 2014 and

Fooled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em AGAIN

could barely do three kilometres without keeling over? Well, you did the right thing working your way up to the marathon distance, doing a 10-kilometre race at Boogie the Bridge and a half-marathon at the Kamloops Marathon. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing what a few months can do. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still going to feel like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dying

in the final stretch, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re definitely going to have a minor meltdown when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re no longer able to keep up with your girlfriend at mile 24, but it could have been so much worse, right? Speaking of training, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look too far ahead. Because, seriously, training for the marathon is a marathon in itself. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be more familiar with the downtown YMCAYWCA and the Rivers Trail than you are with olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s her name who sits at the desk across from you. You know, the girl who you spent all your weekends with back when you had a life and friends? Yeah, her. But, the training will be worth it. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not able to fully comprehend it right now, but 26.2 miles (or 42

kilometres) is stupid far, especially when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re running it. Even though you started months in advance and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty committed to this idiotic longdistance running thing, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t truly be prepared for how mind-numbingly far 42 kilometres is. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do it, but you have no idea right now how hard it will be. And, remember all those people you used to make fun of? The ones you would see out for a jog on Saturday morning when you were hungover, bleary-eyed and maybe still a little bit drunk? TALK TO THEM. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done races like this before and, despite their fondness for organic foods and their love of pants that are way too tight to be

Brown tastes defeat, but still sitting pretty MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

It was smooth sailing for Corryn Brown and her Kamloops Curling Club rink until yesterday (Jan. 28). The Brown rink — skip Brown, third Erin Pincott, second Samantha Fisher and lead Sydney Fraser — suffered its first loss at the M&M Meat Shops Canadian Junior Men’s and Women’s Curling Championships in Corner Brook, N.L., falling 7-3 to Manitoba. “We knew it wasn’t going to be a cakewalk,” Brown told KTW. “It wasn’t a blowout. The score wasn’t indicative of the play. We just couldn’t execute.” Brown posted a 6-0 record in round-robin play and advanced to the championship round, in which the rink is currently competing against seven teams — Manitoba, Alberta, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, Quebec and New Brunswick. The local quartet, coached by Allison MacInnes, is 1-1 in championship-pool play, having beaten Quebec 5-4 yesterday morning. Each of the championshippool teams play four games. After those matchups, the top three teams advance to the playoffs, with the first-place rink going straight to the final and the other two squaring

off in the semifinal round. Brown has two championshippool games remaining — today against Ontario and Alberta. Alberta heads into today’s action atop the standings with a perfect 7-0 record. Brown, at 7-1, is second and

Ontario is third at 5-2. The Kamloops rink is in control of its destiny — win once today and advance to the playoffs, while two wins cements a place in the final. When it won gold in 2013, the Brown rink lost only once in

pool play, to New Brunswick, and advanced straight to the championship game, but the River City skip doesn’t care how she gets there this year. “We had the first seed last time but, if it takes us going to a semifinal or even

Olynyk: TRU’s success not result of alignment From page A20

“With the significant growth we’ve had over the last five years, we felt that it was worth the time for us to actually reflect on if it was the best usage of resources with regards to the current formats we have, did we have the best alignments in regards to competitiveness, athlete experience, etc.,” St-Denis said. “The conversation regarding the reviewing of the competitive formats for the sports that we’re reviewing was initiated way before UFV filed documentation to the CIS. It has nothing to do with that.” When the proposed Pioneer and Explorer divisions were announced in 2013, they seemed strange to some athletic directors, Olynyk said. “I just think that there were a number

of factors involved in that,” he said. “I think there was the feeling of this isn’t really fair. But, the division we’re in, within our conference, I don’t think anyone within our division — with the exception of Fraser Valley, who have made it very public — I don’t think that anyone else feels that it has been a really bad thing. “People like to see people succeed and we’re succeeding. And we’re not succeeding because of the division we’re in, we’re succeeding because of the jobs our coaches and our student athletes do.” A playoff format in the new alignment is among the kinks the directors are still ironing out. Olynyk said the post-season will likely be spread over three weeks, with four best-of-three series played in the second week and a final-four system in the final week.

What’s uncertain is how the first week of playoff action will be arranged. The directors are still deciding how many teams will come out of each division for the playoffs and how the matchups would be determined. Olynyk said changes are also on the horizon for Canada West soccer, though the details of those are less clear. “Soccer’s different,” he said. “The women’s soccer will go to two conferences of eight teams, with four teams in a division. They’ll play within division and then will play teams from the other divisions, but they won’t play everybody every year. “Men’s soccer is a little bit different because they have 14 teams, so they’re going to try to go to just two divisions, with some interlock.”

NATIONAL SPORTS SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

Lynch continues to frustrate reporters ROB MAADDI

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHOENIX — A day after giving the same onesentence response at Super Bowl Media Day, Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch had another scripted answer to any questions. Lynch said “you know why I’m here” to every question except one. He stayed for five minutes. He came out to a podium instead of his original assigned spot yesterday (Jan. 28). The only time he had a different answer was when he was asked what music he’ll listen to pregame before facing the New England Patriots on MARSHAWN LYNCH: “You know why I’m here.” Sunday at the Super Bowl. He said “new song. Marshawn. You know why I’m here.” On Tuesday, Lynch said: “I’m here so I don’t get fined” while talking to reporters at Media Day. On Tuesday, Lynch repeated: “I’m just here so I don’t get fined” while talking to reporters at the US Airways Center. Some of the questions Lynch refused to answer Wednesday included: “Why do you have to be a jerk to all of us?” “Do you have a message for your fans?” “Can you talk about your charity foundation?” “Isn’t this whole act a selfish move?” In November, the NFL fined Lynch $50,000 for violations of the league’s media policy in addition to collecting the $50,000 fine that was imposed against Lynch for violations last season. The fine from 2013 was held in anticipation of future co-operation from Lynch. The Professional Football Writers of America complained to the league about Tuesday’s session and Lynch had been apprised of a potential fine. A league spokesman declined comment. Teammates continued defending Lynch, saying he’s a different person off camera and away from microphones. “The Marshawn that we know obviously tries to be different to media,’’ centre Max Unger said. “Unfortunately, you guys don’t get a really good picture of who he is in the locker room and as a guy. He is the best. I think if you ask anybody in that locker room, they will say the same thing, one of the best guys to be around. “He has his own relationship with the media and you just have to leave it at that. He gets up there and says something and that’s what the NFL wants. You can’t regulate the quality of the response and that’s the thing.’’

The Seattle Seahawks are the defending Super Bowl champions, but that doesn’t necessarily make them the favourites for Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots.

SUPER BOWL FAVOURITE A TOSS-UP

BARRY WILNER

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHOENIX — Almost as dominant as New England’s performance in the AFC championship game was the showing for Pro Picks in both conference title matches. A sweep. Now comes the toughest choice of all, and even the odds makers are uncertain on this one. The Seahawks (No. 1) have gone from a threepoint favourite to, well, no favourite at all. The Patriots are a slight favourite and that seems logical for the top two seeds. The Patriots (No. 2) seek their fourth cham-

pionship in the Tom Brady-Bill Belichick era. Seattle is after a second straight crown, the first team to manage that in a decade. Guess who did it most recently? Yep, New England. Of course, the Patriots (14-4) also lost their past two trips to the big game, both to the Giants. “We’ve had some pretty tough losses in past Super Bowls, but none of those matters at this point,’’ quarterback Tom Brady said. “We’ve got to go out there and we’ve got a big challenge. We’ve got a team that is the defending Super Bowl champs. Those guys worked hard. They’ve

earned their spot here. They’ve won two great playoff games, and we have, too, so that’s what makes for a great fight.’’ Styles make for great fights, too, and this is a classic matchup: potent offence for the Patriots, stingy defence for Seattle (14-4). In many of those, the defensive team winds up the winner, as happened last year when the Seahawks manhandled Peyton Manning and the Broncos. They’ll need to be just as efficient this time against Brady. “To be honest with you, we don’t think about that,’’ Seattle defensive end Cliff

Avril said. “We look at it as just another opponent in front of us. But . . . those are two Hall of Fame quarterbacks, so obviously it does have a little bit of weight behind it.’’ In 2014, Seattle got off to such a quick start — a safety on the first offensive snap for Denver — that the Super Bowl never really was close. With New England’s ability to rally, including from a pair of 14-point deficits against Baltimore in the divisional round, the Seahawks recognize they can never relax. Nor can the Patriots, knowing very well that Seattle’s recent achievements make it

as formidable as any opponent could be. “I don’t care about them being the top defence, that doesn’t bother me,’’ Patriots’ running back LeGarrette Blount said. “They were good enough to get here, just like we were good enough to get here. They’re not immortal. They can be beaten.’’ Given recent developments, it seems much of America is rooting for New England to be beaten on Sunday, citing the deflated-footballs investigation and a past history of stretching the rules. If that is so, sorry America. PATRIOTS, 27-24, overtime

ò Obituaries & In Memoriam ô DAVID FRANKLIN EHLER July 3, 1954 ~ January 17, 2015 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of David Ehler on January 17, 2015 at 4:30 pm, at the age of 60, with his wife Doris and father-in-law John Sulzinger by his side. He was a really great, loving husband, brother, brother-inlaw and uncle. He was a really good friend. Everyone who knew him thought he was a great guy, worker, joker and a person who would go out of his way to help anyone and talk to anyone. David will be missed by his loving wife Doris Ehler of 33 years (a.k.a. Chuckles), and his father-in-law John Sulzinger, and he was really proud of our threemonth-old Newfie pup, Odin, all of Kamloops. He is also survived by brother Walter (Wendy, Jarrod, Brady, Kesley) Ehler, all of Chilliwack, sister-in-law Rosie (Ray) Millard of Edmonton, Alberta, nephew Robert (Niki, Paris, Dana) Iroke of Edmonton, Alberta and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Thank you to all the doctors, nurses and staff at RIH for all the times David was in hospital. Thank you to the ICU ward, 3rd floor, for your kindness and gentleness towards David’s care, until the very end. There will be no funeral service, at David’s request. We will be announcing a get-togther later this year. Goodbye, Babe We will miss you always.

LEONARD EWASHINA It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Leonard Ewashina on January 19, 2015. He was born in Kamloops on August 19, 1931. Len was predeceased by his wife Helen Ewashina on December 1, 2014, first wife May (Stone) in 1955, his two sisters (Annie & Ora) and brother Mike. He is survived by his children Wink (Shelley) Ewashina, Ralph (Jo-Anne) Ewashina, Penny (Shawn) Macleod, Coralea (Bill) Towler, Brenda Shevolup, and Wendy (Richard) Wenham.

First Memorial Funeral Service 250-554-2429

Jessie passed away peacefully in her sleep at Gemstone on Wednesday, January 21, 2015. She will be sadly missed but lovingly remembered by her family and friends. Jessie was born March 26, 1929 in Edmonton, Alberta, to Betty and Ewart Freathy. Jessie is survived by her devoted husband Bill of 63 years, her son Bill (Chris) Dinicol, daughter Diane (Rob) Stenner, her brother Jim (Diane) Freathy, and sister Janet (Jim) Ashby as well as nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Missing their Nana will be Kimberly, Kevin, Stephen, Mark and Lisa. Mom’s great-grandchildren, Spencer and Sophia, will hear many stories of their great nana. Jessie was predeceased by her parents, Betty and Ewart Freathy and her sister, Beth (Joe) Desjardine. The family moved to Kamloops in 1941 where they lived on East Lorne St. near the current Yellowhead Bridge and Jessie worked as a secretary for BC Tel.

Len grew up in the North Thompson Area and started logging at 17 years old, where shortly after he bought his first logging truck. Many old-timers referred to him as ‘Sonny’, and he was also known as the ‘North Thompson Hippy’ for his many years logging in Blue River. He was an incredibly hard worker and risk-taker, being the first logger to switch from short logs to long logs, hauling from Blue River to Heffley Creek (Balco). Len trained many young loggers and gave them their first chance in the bush. Even after his retirement, he still spent countless hours working in the bush or on his property at Genier Lake, helping Wink, building his airstrip or pushing new roads until dark. Len had an old-fashioned level of trust; his handshake was golden, and he always said that the only thing you take to your grave is your name. Len built 100’s of roads in his life and he has gone on to build his last road to meet up with Helen.

Jessie married her true love, Bill in 1951 and was happy to become a stay at home mom. They raised their family in Valleyview where they lived for over 50 years. Jessie enjoyed gardening and hosting friends and family to barbeques, croquet and bocce around the pool.

As requested by Lenny, there will be no service. The family will have a gathering in the summer to honor both Len and Helen. If anyone should so desire, donations may be made to Barriere Legion 242, where Len was a member for many years.

Should friends so desire, donations made to the Parkinson Society British Columbia would be appreciated in her memory.

JESSIE FRANCES DINICOL

Jessie was a member of the UCW for many years and was an avid golfer as well as a member of KGCC . This love of golf took Jessie and Bill on many golf holidays with their good friends the Peppers, Hills, Hicks and Browns. Other pastimes included painting, knitting, sewing, skiing and playing bridge. They also made many trips abroad with friends and family, often to visit relatives in New Zealand, England and Scotland. She was very proud of her grandchildren and her biggest delight was spending time with them and watching them grow up. We wish to thank the caregivers of Gemstone (Jade) and Dr. Wynne for their compassion and care.

Pennies From Heaven I found a penny today Just lying on the ground But it’s not just a penny this little coin I’ve found. “Found” pennies come from heaven That’s what my Grandpa told me He said angels toss them down Oh, how I loved that story . He said when an angel misses you They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up Make a smile out of your frown So don’t pass by that penny when you’re feeling blue It may be a penny from heaven That an angels tossed to you.

The Volkswagon Golf won North American Car of the Year at the recent Detroit Auto Show. The hatchback is also a finalist for the Canadian Car of the Year.

Boom, boom, buzz at the Detroit Auto Show ZACK SPENCER

DRIVEWAY CANADA

here’s a buzz in the Motor City because the car industry has roared back in the U.S. and 2014 was another record year in Canada.

Ford GT

There is no question the Ford GT supercar stole the show at the media preview in Detroit. The mid-engine heart powering this carbon-fibre and aluminum two-door beauty is a new twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 with over 600 h.p. What really stunned

the crowd was that Ford has already committed to building the GT, which will be for sale in late 2016. The car displayed is essentially a production model, not a far-reaching concept car. The carbon-fibre passenger cell and bodywork, along with aluminum-suspension components, will help return one of the best power-to-weight rations in the business. The best part is the design that looks fast standing still, thanks to a teardrop shape, aggressive aerodynamics, functional wings and spoilers. Ford is using the GT as a technology test to help implement features like carbon fibre in all new Ford models to come.

Audi Q7

Since we love SUVs in North America, it was logical for Audi to debut the three-row Q7 SUV in Detroit. The all-new model is slightly smaller than the outgoing one, but it offers more interior space for passengers and cargo. The design also makes the Q7 look much less imposing. The biggest news is the reduction in weight; this new Q7 is 325 kilograms lighter than the older model — which is a whopping number — making it roughly 26 per cent more efficient. Shortly after the Q7 arrives at dealerships, a plug-in diesel hybrid model will be introduced that can

deliver the equivalent of 1.7L/100km. Styling is much more sophisticated and the interior has the all-new dash and MMI system that was first introduced in the soon-to-arrive Audi TT.

Lexus GS F

Another trend at the Detroit show was the introduction of very powerful cars. Lexus introduced the latest “F” performance model called the GS F. Based on the GS midsized luxury sedan, the GS F takes things to an aggressive level, with a 467 h.p. 5.0L V8 engine pushing all that power through an eight-speed automatic to the rear wheels. Lexus hopes this 1830-

kilogram sedan will be lean enough and powerful enough to attract buyers of cars like the BMW M5. With standard 19-inch wheels framing orange Brembo brake calipers and featuring a Torque Vectoring Differential, Lexus thinks this Nurburgring-tuned sedan is more than enough to take on the Germandominant brands. Styling is dramatic and functional, with a lower and wider stance than the regular model.

Volkswagen Golf

The Detroit show always starts with the announcement of the North American Car of the Year. This year, the VW Golf won, following on the heels

of World Car of the Year and Motor Trend Car of the Year awards and the Golf is a finalist for the Canadian Car of the Year. The Golf is turning heads because of the very refined driving dynamics, class-above interior and powerful and efficient engine choices. The price will also win over buyers. Thanks to the production coming out of Mexico, the starting price is $18,995. The Golf features a new 1.8L direct injection and turbocharged four-cylinder engine, an optional TDI diesel or the more powerful GTI and Golf R models. The Golf is on sale now. See TOYOTA, page A32

NUTS TO YOU

S KUTIA FIRST OF 12-COURSE DINNER Kamloops This Week is amping up its inner foodie in 2015. The biweekly Cuisine page will look a bit different this year. Each month, we will highlight recipes as they correspond to various cultural holidays. Those recipes will come from foodies in the community — from restaurant chefs and owners to home cooks — along with a brief explanation of the dish and holiday. This series will be paired with KTW reporter Andrea Klassen’s beer column on the Cuisine page every second Thursday. Bon apetit! Ukraine does not celebrate Christmas on Dec. 25. Instead, it celebrates on Jan. 7, with festivities beginning on Christmas Eve — Jan. 6. Traditional dishes served include kolach (pastry with fruit), kutia (sweet grain pudding), borscht (beet soup), fish, perogies,

holubsti (cabbage rolls) with rice or buckwheat, mushrooms, cooked beans, sauerkraut and peas, pampushky (doughnuts) and compote stewed fruit. KTW contacted Zonia Rurka, who is involved with the Ukrainian Catholic Women’s League’s bake

sale featuring homemade goodies, for recipes. In the Jan. 15 edition of KTW, we featured borscht. This week, we are featuring something sweet — kutia. Traditionally, it is the first dish of the 12-course Christmas Eve dinner.

KUTIA 2 cups of wheat 3 quarts of water 1 cup of poppy seeds 2/3 cup of sugar 1/3 cup of honey (dissolved into 3/4 cup of hot water) 1/2 cup of walnuts, almonds or pecans

Dry wheat in 250 F oven for one hour. Stir occasionally. Wash and soak in cold water overnight. The next morning, bring wheat to boiling point and simmer for three to four hours, until the kernels burst open. Scald poppy seeds. Simmer three to five minutes. Drain and grind twice using the finest blade of food chopper. Set aside. Combine honey and sugar in hot water. Set aside. Before serving, add sweetened mixture, poppy seeds and nuts to cooled, boiled wheat.

o, yeah. Peanut butter beer. That’s a thing. When it comes down to it, I know this beer isn’t that weird. I’ve read news stories about American brewers making beers out of Count Chocula and Boo Berry cereals. A little nut butter? That’s nothing, especially since I love peanut butter. I might even consider peanut-butter cups, which Dead Frog’s label so clearly evoke, the greatest candy of our generation. And yet, man. Even taking a sip of this beer felt like a hurdle. I took extra photos of my mug, I Skyped people, I sniffed the beer over and over, trying to decide whether I could smell peanuts or just the usual mix of malts and sundry common to your average B.C. stout. Finally, the first sip. Yup. Nuts. Nutty Uncle is less peanut butter and more roasted nuts, with a certain smokiness to it on the first sips that I never quite shook off. As befits a stout, there are also notes of chocolate (coffee, as the brewery claims, but not so much) though I wish they’d been milkier and rounder, the way Parallel 49’s pumpkin and milk chocolate porter manages.

ANDREA KLASSEN

Bad

RIDER That’s chocolate in practice, where as Nutty Uncle is chocolate in theory. It’s sweet, but not incredibly so to the point where I almost wondered if more sugar wouldn’t have been worth it. Overall, a peanutbutter cup. Kind of. Ish. As much as you can with a beer. Yeah, OK — it’s weird. It’s totally weird. Super freaking weird. There is a picture of a dude who looks like a low budget Adam Sandler on the front of the bottle, so I don’t know what I was expecting. This, I guess. Weirdness. Props to you for inventiveness, Dead Frog. But, to be honest, now I mostly want a real peanut-butter cup. But, then again, when does one not? Andrea Klassen is a KTW reporter and beer blogger.
