Welcome to the new normal:
CASUAL W RK CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The fastest growing area for jobs in B.C. is temporary, casual and contract work — what an economist in called the new normal in this province. Seth Klein told a B.C. Federation of Labour conference in Kamloops Friday that 74 per cent of job growth in B.C. has come from these casual or temporary jobs. That compares to 32 per cent in the rest of the country. Millennials are bearing the brunt of the job pain because they are emerging into the new market and don’t have the seniority or tenure their parents enjoy. Klein spoke during a panel on local issues in Kamloops that focused on the increasing rise of what presenters called “precarious work.” A panelist from the post-secondary sector outlined increasing reliance at Thompson Rivers University on sessional instructors who receive less pay and benefits, no pension and little job security. The faculty association failed to gain any traction for these sessional workers in the recent contract negotiations, instead settling on a wage increase as compensation. Thompson Rivers University Faculty Association president Tom
B.C., which has the lowest minimum wage ($10.45 per hour; $9.20 per hour for liquor servers) in Canada. A number of jurisdictions, including Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York state, have adopted a phased-in $15 minimum wage. Friedman said one-third of courses at TRU are taught by sessionals. “All of them do the exact work as the tenured faculty,” Friedman said, calling growth in temporary workers “a growing and disturbing trend in the academic world.” Both Friedman and Donisa Bernardo, a member of the Hospital Employees’ Union’s provincial executive, blamed B.C. Liberal government policies that limit free bargaining and encourage contract flipping in seniors’ care. In the case of hospital support jobs, that erosion started in 2002 under Bill 29, when then-premier Gordon Campbell stripped the contract for workers and encouraged contracting out to private industry. The Supreme Court of Canada later ruled unconstitutional key parts of Bill 29, but Bernardo said the ramifications of that move have been devastating to wages and benefits on the Coast and, more recently, in the Interior. “These were good, family supporting jobs with decent benefits and pensions,” Bernardo said.

MP decries Liberal ‘stacked deck’ CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod is referring to an all-party parliamentary committee created week to study electoral reform as “a stacked deck.” The federal Liberal government created the committee to look at alternatives to the first-past-the-post electoral sys-
tem now in use in Canada. The Liberals promised during last year’s election campaign that the Oct. 19 vote would be the last one under the first-past-the-post system. Opposition critics, including McLeod, have claimed the Liberals are “stacking the deck” with Liberal members on the committee. The all-party committee has 10 voting members — six
Liberals, three Conservatives and one New Democrat. Green Leader Elizabeth May and a Bloc Québécois MP will be permitted to participate in committee hearings, but will have no voting rights. The Liberal government has also avoided committing to a national referendum before changing the electoral system, something McLeod said is a must. See MCLEOD, A4

North Shore police station opens Kamloops’ North Shore once again has a police station of its own. The North Shore Community Policing Office is now open in the former Kamloops Kia building at 915 Seventh St. Kamloops has been without a police station north of the river since Dec. 11, when the city’s lease ran out on its Fortune Drive community police station ahead of construction on the new office. The North Shore Community Policing Office will house 12 full-time RCMP officers and up to five city staffers and 70 volunteers. Members of the public can now visit the office for police information checks or
to apply for chauffeur permits. The office will also offer civilian digital fingerprinting starting this summer. In addition to general policing, the North Shore station will now house the city’s auxiliary constable program and the Kamloops RCMP’s crime-prevention section, which runs restorative justice, neighbourhood watch and speed watch programs, as well as Car 40, the RCMP and Interior Health Authority’s joint mental-health team. RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller said the goal of the office it to provide a community link to the city’s police force. “Policing today is all about forming partnerships and working with

the community,” Mueller said. “In partnership with the City of Kamloops, the new office will provide greater opportunities for us to deliver on our crime-prevention and community-safety programs and enhance service delivery, especially to those citizens living on the North Shore.” Renovations to the former car dealership ran over budget by about $400,000 after the city discovered the building’s heating and cooling ducts were rotting and needed to be relocated and replaced, bringing the full cost of the office to just over $1 million. The office is open Mondays to Fridays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

More money in the CAP ANDREA KLASSEN

When you see a redshirted member of the Kamloops Customer Care and Patrol (CAP) team downtown this summer, thank the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. Money from Shirt Productions, which used downtown Kamloops as a location for its Power Rangers film this spring, will help fund the CAP team’s second year as an all-season unit. Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association manager Gay Pooler said the production company gave her organization $5,000 in CAP team funding, as well as another $10,000 for marketing as a thank you for the city’s hospitality. The money will join $60,000 from the City of Kamloops — up from the $20,000 paid to the KCBIA annually when the CAP team was a summers-only program — and other contribu-

vices — a year-round service has been a goal for years. “Every year when the team stopped and people had to go back to school our member would say, ‘we really want them year round,’” she said. Pooler said a pilot

Save-On sees support for wine sales TRU? ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops grocery store’s bid to sell B.C. wines on its shelves appears to have support from the public. Save-On Foods owner Overwaitea Food Group is seeking a variance from Kamloops council to sell wines in-aisle at its Columbia Place store in Sahali. The store would only sell wines produced in-province, using a liquor licence purchased from Discover Wines, a VQA wine store that formerly operated in an adjacent strip mall. While changes to provincial liquor laws allow the move, new rules adopted by council last year prohibit liquor stores from setting up shop within one kilometre of existing operations without special permission. Save-On is about 100 feet from a
B.C. Liquor Store and the private Fox’n Hounds liquor store is located across Summit Drive in nearby Sahali Mall. As of Friday, council had 18 letters from members of the public weighing in on Overwaitea’s application. All but two are positive. “Come on people, it’s 2016!” wrote Lyall Alore in a message supporting SaveOn. Vicki Collett, owner of Harper’s Trail winery, and Debbie and John Woodward of Privato winery also wrote in to support grocery-store sales, arguing the city has already agreed to VQA wine sales in the adjacent strip mall. “Seems very unfair and discriminatory that Discover Wines could operate the licence, but Save-On isn’t allowed to operate literally the same licence in the exact same complex?” wrote Collett. Both wineries also argue a store focused only on B.C. wines is required to
promote the city’s growing wine industry. “It has definitely hurt Privato’s sales to have lost the Discover Wines outlets, and therefore allowing Save-On Foods to continue in our community with an existing licence goes a long way toward supporting our local wineries,” the Woodwards wrote. Speaking against the plan is Brezlan Hospitality Group, which owns Sahali Mall. “It will drastically affect sales to the private liquor store as well as overall traffic to the mall,” wrote Troy Bilodeau on behalf of Brezlan. “This in effect will impact jobs.” Resident Andrew Wilson also wrote in to oppose the store’s plans. “Save-On has driven many other competitors out of business,” he wrote. “They do not need more products to sell.” Council will consider Overwaitea’s variance request today.
New trial ordered in 2013 moose killing CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A B.C. Supreme Court justice has ordered a new trial for a Lower Mainland resident convicted of illegally killing and abandoning a moose in the Nicola Valley. Xin Xiao, 49, was found guilty after a trial last year on three charges under the Wildlife Act: hunting out of season, possession of an animal and abandoning an animal. On appeal, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley found Xiao did not receive a fair trial in provincial court because the judge allowed a conservation officer to provide what was tantamount to expert evidence about the time of the moose’s death. The Crown’s case was built on circumstantial evidence. Two deer hunters came across a dead bull moose at a spur road in the Nicola Valley near
Merritt in October 2013. They testified that, when they returned to the same logging road later, they saw two Asian men with a Ford Raptor truck backed up to the moose. One of the deer hunters said the pair appeared to be using a winch to get the moose — not yet field dressed or gutted — into the truck. Officer Kelly Dahl was called to the finding of the dead moose. He examined the carcass and concluded the moose was killed was killed that day. A veteran hunter who first came across the carcass testified, however, the moose could have been killed up to two days before. But the Crown objected he wasn’t qualified to give that evidence. Dahl wasn’t qualified during the trial as an expert witness. “The purpose of providing notice of expert evidence is fairness,” Dley wrote. “The notice allows the defence to
properly prepare for cross-examination and, if necessary, to consult with or call its own expert. Mr. Xiao was deprived of those benefits and that resulted in an unfair trial.” A surveillance camera at a gas station in Merritt recorded Xiao and Li the morning before the moose was found. Food and gas receipts from Merritt the day before were also found inside the Ford pickup. Inside that pickup, registered to a woman from Vancouver, they found Xiao’s Canadian passport, as well as a wallet with his driver’s and hunting licences and credit cards. Conservation officers used DNA to link the moose to blood found on a jacket in the truck. The civil forfeiture office applied successfully to have the Ford Raptor sold, with half the $48,000 proceeds going to the Crown. Xiao’s co-accused, Wei Li, was acquitted on all charges.

Dog safe after fall from 80-foot cliff TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Vancouver family’s elderly pet is lucky to be alive after spending six hours in a lake south of Kamloops following an accidental tumble off an 80-foot cliff. Kamloops Search and Rescue manager Alan Hobler said his crews were called to Napier Lake, on Highway 5A between Kamloops and Merritt, at about noon on Friday. Hobler said police called in search and rescue out of concern the dog’s owners might get into trouble trying to save their 15-year-old dog. “The concern was the owners were going to try to climb down and rescue the dog, which would be very dangerous,” he said. “Normally, we don’t do animal rescues. It’s not part of our mandate.” Hobler said the dog, a blind and deaf female, appeared to have swam across the lake after going into the water. “It really didn’t look good,” Hobler said. “We had no idea where she was. We figured she was dead and just floated away.” Hobler said crews on the other side of the lake found the dog near the shore. She was partially submerged and was not moving. “We got a little closer and her head turned a bit and her eyes opened up,” he said. Rescue crews loaded the dog, who was uninjured, onto a kayak and reunited her with her family.

The most recent example is contracting out of laundry service at Royal Inland Hospital and other health-care facilities in the Interior Health region. Bernardo noted the lack of successorship rights for workers when privately operated seniors’ buildings change hands. Workers are laid off and it is left to the new owner to decide whether to offer them jobs. Klein, an economist with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, urged the province to turn away from resource extraction of LNG and coal and turn instead to green infrastructure, what he said will provide more jobs per dollar of investment. One bright spot for workers in Kamloops was detailed by panelist Marty Gibbons, president of Steelworkers Local 1-417. Gibbons detailed last year’s strike by workers at Emterra, which sorts recyclable materials from roadside collection. As a result of the seven-week strike, workers making about $12 an hour received increases of more than 22 per cent over four years. “Wages were so low . . . that everyone connected with these people,” he said. The B.C. Federation of Labour continues to push for a minimum $15 wage in B.C., which has the lowest minimum wage ($10.45 per hour; $9.20 per hour for liquor servers) in Canada. A number of jurisdictions, including Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York state, have adopted a $15 minimum wage via incremental increases phased in over a number of years.

Kennedy Epp freely admits she’s not a political junkie, but the Westsyde secondary student knows what would make her start paying attention. “If I had been able to vote last year, I think I definitely would have been more into it,” she said. That’s why Epp and other students in Jeremy Reid’s Grade 11 social studies class are campaigning to lower B.C.’s voting age to 16 from 18 — and they have already picked up an ally in the legislature. Last week, Green Leader Andrew Weaver tabled a private member’s bill calling for a lower voting age. Weaver said many students are already working and paying taxes by 16 and deserve the right to vote on how their money is spent. “Having spent many years as an educator and having presented to, or engaged in discussions with, high school students and classes across British Columbia on numerous occasions,

City of Kamloops I find it difficult to accept an argument that students are not mature enough of informed enough at age 16 to vote,” the Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA wrote on his blog. “Students today have access to information like never before; they are techsavvy and they know where to go to get information if they need it.” Reid said the campaign was inspired after his students researched various methods of improving voter turnout. Of those they studied, the lower voting age — already in place in countries including Norway, Brazil and Scotland — was most popular. “We did some videos, we wrote some letters, we did some

memes, we went to Twitter and we actually wrote out a bill,” Reid said. “Some students researched the Elections Act and found out what sections would need to be changed.” Students Jasmine Aubrey and Brianne Vongrad told KTW teenagers are already taking on other responsibilities on par with voting. “You can drive when you’re 16 and you can do all that stuff, but you can’t vote,” Vongrad said. “We’re the leaders of tomorrow, so we should get a say who’s in office because we have to pick up what
they leave behind,” Aubrey added. The pair say they also see some downsides to younger voters who might not know enough about what is happening in Victoria or Ottawa. “There’s people who do pay attention to politics and would have really good insight at 16, but there’s also people who would just write down a name and put it in the ballot box because they don’t know who to vote for,” Aubrey said. Kamloops-North Thompson MLA and Health Minister Terry Lake said he’s not sure where he stands on the youth voting issue,
but added he is hoping to meet with Reid’s class to hear some of their arguments. “It’s worthy of debate and I’d like to hear what their arguments are,” he said. “Just the fact that they’re paying attention to politics at a young age is a very good thing. “That’s how you develop our leaders of tomorrow.” Weaver isn’t the only provincial politician pushing for a lower voting age. In Prince Edward Island, Progressive Conservative MLA Sidney MacEwen has also tabled legislation to lower the voting age to 16.

BIG-MONEY BAN DESIRED BY MANY
T
he numbers can’t be surprising, but they are interesting nonetheless. According to a new poll from Insights West (sponsored by the non-profit Dogwood Initiative, based out of Victoria), B.C. voters overwhelmingly support a ban on corporate and union political donations. Dogwood Initiative is a citizen group calling on the province to “ban big money” in politics. The survey (you can find the full results online) shows 86 per cent of British Columbians polled would favour bans on the corporate/union donations before the next election. The commonly held belief is that the bigger the war chest, the better the chance of winning — in almost any election. Is that democracy in action? The report also states B.C. is the last province in Canada to allow unlimited donations from anywhere in the world, including in municipal elections. The survey shows this leaves members of the public more than a little cynical about the role of ordinary citizens. That can be seen in areas other than the poll. Think back to any of the past municipal elections, in which 30 per cent voter turnout is standard. Perhaps the apathy is partially due to what the poll next discovered: More than two-thirds of adults polled (68 per cent) believe citizens are not influential in shaping policy in this province. The most influential group is corporations (90 per cent). Ranked in order of influence were corporations, lobbyists, foreign investors, unions and then the citizens themselves. It does seem a little backwards.

Bitter election year begins
T
here is a nasty edge to proceedings as the B.C. legislature session winds down this week, with the 2017 election campaign already effectively underway. Premier Christy Clark and B.C. Liberal ministers have been under attack over their links to big corporate donors, which will be a major theme for the NDP in the next year. You’ll hear more about forest companies West Fraser and Canfor, which escaped without fines after a 2014 audit found they over-cut their northern timber licences by close to onemillion cubic metres. Much of this was during salvage logging for pine-beetle damage, where healthy trees were taken as well, at a time when forest companies were consolidating, trading Crown timber rights and closing sawmills. NDP MLA David Eby, who knocked Clark out of her Vancouver-Point Grey seat even as she was winning a fourth straight B.C. Liberal majority in 2013, has put the media focus on her posh private fundraisers. “Was this decision made at a dinner party?” Eby asked of the leniency to forest companies, prompting a rare “out of order” ruling from Speaker Linda Reid. Even before the last election and the later Mount Polley tailings pond dam collapse, the NDP was on the attack about Clark’s support from the chief executive of mine owner Imperial Metals, who also has

VICTORIA major Alberta oilsands holdings and has been one of the B.C. Liberals’ biggest donors. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett was as indignant as Forests Minister Steve Thomson at the suggestion these corporations were getting lenient treatment in exchange for political cash. Bennett pointed out the Mount Polley dam was inspected and permitted in the mid-1990s under an NDP government, with a design flaw that went undetected. And it remains to be seen what, if any, charges or fines result against the company, which is already paying a steep price with a long shutdown and expensive environmental repairs. It also remains to be seen if Bennett, Thomson and other cabinet veterans will run for another term, after what will be 16 years in government. Bennett is adept at needling the NDP, reminding them mining giant Teck Resources managed to find almost $60,000 to donate to the New Democrats.
He referred to John Horgan as the “ceremonial leader of the NDP,” implying Horgan has lost an internal struggle in a party that has turned away from its industrial worker roots. Horgan was a reluctant replacement after Adrian Dix flamed out in 2013 with the sudden Earth Day declaration to oppose the TransMountain oil pipeline expansion. This may have won Eby his upset in leafy Point Grey, but the decision and a wordless weather-vane ad lost Dix the province. One of the traditional highlights of the spring session is the premier’s spending estimates, where the opposition gets several hours to grill the premier on political staff, private jets and anything else they want. Horgan kicked this off last week with his familiar list of criticisms on increased BC Hydro and medical services premiums, soaring house prices in Metro Vancouver and the state of seniors’ care, plus a lengthy examination of Clark’s recent trip to Haida Gwaii. Clark treated the exercise mainly as an extension of question period, firing back at Horgan on his apparent inability to lead his own caucus in support of major construction projects. Horgan abruptly threw in the towel at the end of the first of what had been scheduled to be two days and fled to Whistler for meetings that were suddenly more important than his legislature duties. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
SOME TIPS COME NEXT YEAR’S TAX SEASON Editor: I would like to share something I believe seems to be a little-known secret. It’s a little late for this tax season, but never too late for next year. If you have investments, all the fees are tax-deductible. Nobody in my circle of friends seems to know about this or even realize how much they pay for financial-investment services. I don’t know of any other purchase you make where you don’t have a clue about the cost. But when you buy investments, with the fees included as a percentage of the fund, it never gets broken out as a separate amount. They are always a percentage of the share
or fund price. It varies from place to place. You would be wise to shop around and get the best deal, just like you do with every other purchase you make. For example, if you started investing at age 20 or 25 and made contributions for the next 40 years, the fees to manage your funds could be in the tens of thousands of dollars or close to it, depending on the amount of the investment. If you could write off $2,000 a year for 40 years, that is a huge payoff in your favour. It’s the small things over time that make the biggest difference. If you don’t care about the write-off, at least know how much you pay your broker for
services and returns you get on your money. I would be really curious to know how many people know about this option and how many people take advantage of it. In a world where everything continues to increase in price, it is sure nice to find a bargain or reap the benefit of a better deal. It pays to be a smart consumer. I hope this letter helps educate people interested in maximizing their deductions for investments — or at the very least find out how much you are really paying for those investments. Brian Husband Kamloops
CYCLIST: THANK YOU TO COURTEOUS TRUCKERS, DRIVERS Editor: I frequently cycle Highway 5A in the evening when it is lit up like a Christmas tree from Summit Drive south to Aberdeen Drive. Most of the shoulder is narrow, with the distance between the white line and the curb about the same width as my handlebars.
Trying to stay centred means I ride in a crack, due to the way the asphalt was laid. I can’t do that as it risks my stability. Riding to the right of the crack risks hitting my pedal on the curb, so I end up slightly on the left of the crack, but not on the white line. I would like to thank 80 per cent of the truckers who move
either halfway or all the way into the second lane. I hope they see me wave thanks. I would like to apologize to the trucker who was recently honked at forever by some small car after the trucker moved over and back for me. I would also like to thank 70 per cent of passenger vehicle drivers who move over, even if it’s
just to the far edge of their lane, and thereby show the same courtesy and concern. My obvious hope is those percentages continue to rise. It would also be great if the road-maintenance budget could make this shoulder a foot or two wider starting at Rogers Way. Tom Rankin Kamloops
COOKING AN IMPORTANT LIFE SKILL — FOR EVERYONE Editor: Re: (‘NorKam classes face elimination,’ May 12): This is a note to teenagers who are not registering for the cooking class at NorKam senior secondary. It is especially directed to those who think cooking is a sissy thing to do.
I have news for you: Cooking is not just for women. Some of the greatest chefs in the world are men — and I am not putting women down as they can hold their own any day of the week. My mother, God bless her soul, could turn
out a dinner for 50 guests and get compliments from 52 of them. There is nothing as rewarding as sitting down to the spread you have prepared and receiving raves from guests. There is also the fact you will learn what to buy at the grocery
store, such as spending 90 per cent of your money around the outside of the store and ignoring all the junk food in the middle, which is high in salt, sugar and GMOs. And, fellows, there is nothing as powerful as having a lady sit down to a
spread you have prepared. Her mind will be saying, “Here is a keeper.” To those of you who are quick enough to register before all the spots are taken, good luck in your culinary travels. Robert Allaire Kamloops

TNRD rejects call for health study to cover the costs. But put to a vote, the motion failed with 14 directors against requesting the study and only 11 in favour. “I was a little disappointed, but not surprised,” Rothenburger told KTW. “I knew there would probably be some difference of opinion over it.” The motion was a holdover from the TNRD’s April 7 board of directors meeting during which, following a presentation from KGHM Ajax project director Clyde Gillespie, Rothenburger asked the board to request the same study. Instead, the TNRD voted to postpone the request for a month, subject to staff seeking information about the comprehensiveness of

The ThompsonNicola Regional District (TNRD) will not request an independent and comprehensive health impact study from proponents of KGHM Ajax Mine. At Thursday’s meeting of the regional district’s board of directors, Area P director Mel Rothenburger put forward a motion for the TNRD to request KGHM Ajax fund a fully independent and comprehensive health impact study on the effects of the proposed project. The TNRD would have picked the consultant to conduct the study to ensure its independence, while Ajax would have been asked
health-impact studies contained in the proponent’s application with the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (EAO). Rothenburger’s position is that even though the public-comment period for Ajax mine is over, a report from the TNRD’s staff showed that a comprehensive and independent study was still relevant and necessary. On one hand, Ajax proponents assert potential health effects will be “not significant.” On the other, stakeholders — including the Interior Health Authority, Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment Society and sectors of the public — have expressed concerns with sections of the project proposal.
Ronaye Elliott — the TNRD’s vice chair and director of Area J, which includes Cherry Creek — was among those to vote against the request. “There’s a million studies and every one of them says something different,” she said, asked the reason for her vote. “Whenever they [Ajax] get to the point where they actually have a permit — or whatever it is the government is going to give them — and they come to the TNRD for the permit to build, then we’ll take a look at it.” Elliott added there seem to be relatively few complaints with New Afton or New Gold mines. She has yet to take a position on Ajax, but was unhappy to see the discussion at TNRD.

Two bands conducting an independent review of the proposed Ajax mine confirmed they will push back their decision, in part because the proponent has halted the process to ask for more time. Stk’emlúpsemc te Secwépemc Nation (SSN), composed of Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn Indian bands, held a week-long review earlier this month before a panel of elders, youth and appointed family members. It originally proposed forwarding its recommendation to a joint panel of the two band councils for a final decision by the end of June. SSN said the delay by KGHM Ajax — which has asked the provincial government to stop the clock on the 180-day review timeline so it can respond to technical concerns — gives it more time to consider the proposal. “We have always found the timeline, as currently dictated by the provincial government, to be unreasonable,” Tk’emlups Chief Fred Seymour said in a statement issued yesterday. SSN did not provide a new date when it will render its decision. Skeetchestn chief Ron Ignace said it does not have a deadline because KGHM Ajax doesn’t know how long it will delay the process. “The problem is Ajax has put a hold on their timeline and stopped the clock. We don’t know how long that will be. We don’t want to rush it.”

“To start with, it’s in the regional district, it’s in my area,” she said. “I think, at this point, there’s nothing for the regional district to do. Unfortunately, we have enough [Kamloops] city councillors who are on the bandwagon at city council and they bring it all to the regional district — it makes me a little upset, but that’s their right.” Rothenburger said the motion wasn’t about being for or against the mine, but about getting more information. Now defeated, he said there’s little left to do. “I don’t think there’s really anywhere else to go with it, unless somebody else picks it up and tries to work with KGHM,” he said. “I don’t think it’s likely to go any further than that unless, as I say, some other group decides to become involved, but I don’t know who that would be.”

What do you enjoy about the Community-Based program? I enjoy knowing that there is a safe and fun way for the parents of youth in my community to reach out and ask for support. It has been rewarding to get to know my Little and become an exciting part of her week. How often do you see your Little and what do you do? I see my Little once a week and we do lots of fun activities! Some of our favourites are playing soccer at the park, playing basketball or going swimming at TCC, going to Blazers games and trying out new recipes. How is this relationship fitting into your life? I’ve found that picking one day of the week that we know is our day to get together has worked great! Who would you recommend this program to? I would recommend this program to someone who is compassionate and a good listener. I would also say it’s very important to love kids and be able to laugh and encourage positive outlooks. How has your Little benefitted from the program? I feel that my Little has benefited from our relationship because I am a positive female role model who she can feel comfortable talking to about girl topics. She has opened up and I’m able to help her work through different conflicts and concerns. Why do you think that someone should volunteer in this program? I feel that the program is an incredible way to inspire and instil confidence in youth who experience extra challenges. It’s a way to encourage and play a small role in influencing them to achieve their potential.

P
rem Gill is impressed. The CEO of Creative BC — which promotes creative industries in the province — was in Kamloops last week getting a better understanding of the area and its support needs. Gill said she was invited by ThompsonNicola Regional District film commissioner Victoria Weller to tour areas like the Cache Creek CN Ranch, which draws international filmmakers. “I can certainly see why it’s been such an attractive place for people to make films here,” Gill said, noting the versatility of landscapes in the TNRD region. “Kamloops has been everything from Mexico to Afghanistan [in films].” Gill also touted local support for ensuring accessibility to film crews, such as the recent Power Rangers shoot that took place in downtown Kamloops. “The fact the city, the municipality was so supportive is really important,” she said.
I think that $4-billion “number is close to forestry and mining.”
Weller: Tax changes won’t impact area
— PREM GILL, CREATIVE BC CEO
She noted economic benefits such as added hotel guests and restaurant diners. “A film-friendly community brings business,” she said. “It’s easy to get things done here.” While in town, Gill also spoke to a group of about 20 at the Sandman Signature Hotel. She met with a cross-section of people working in creative fields. Creative BC encompasses several sectors: film, music, magazine and book publishing and interactive and digital media, which includes video gaming. The government branch was created in 2013, combining the BC Film Commission and BC Film and Media. The non-profit is responsible for promoting the development of creative industries in B.C. and it estimates they contribute about 85,000 jobs and $4 billion in GDP each year. “I think that $4 billion number is close to forestry and mining,” Gill said.

She said years of investment in talent development has built the industry. While choosing the strongest sector is “sort of like picking your favourite child” for Gill, she noted visual effects animation and video gaming is strong across the province. “Sony Imageworks moved their head office from Los Angeles to Vancouver because of our talent,” she said. When it comes to Kamloops, Gill looks at it as a whole with the TNRD region, noting she was also impressed by the area’s beauty and local talent. When asked about ways Creative BC can support the area, Gill cited Kamloops Innovation as an example, looking at how it can foster it into the “provincial ecosystem.” Gill also praised music festivals in the area and the Country Music Museum in Merritt. “The opportunities are really all around.”
Decreasing some film and television industry tax credits likely won’t have an impact on the Kamloops area, said Vicci Weller, film commissioner for the region. Earlier this month, Finance Minister Michael de Jong announced changes to the tax-credit program seen as an incentive for production companies to come to B.C. The decrease, which comes into effect on Oct. 1, is being implemented because of the growing cost to the government of the tax credits. Prior to 2012, it cost an average $182 million a year, rose to $313 million in the past three years and was forecast to hit $500 million this year. Weller said she doesn’t anticipate this affecting the Thompson-Nicola Regional District because “this region has always been dependent on what’s on the page, what the script dicates.” She said the TNRD lost one U.S. feature film last year that was considering the area, but it was due to a failure to find an experienced line producer or calibre of crew the production company wanted. “That’s never happened before,” Weller said of the decision that saw the film move to the U.S. Southwest. “In the big picture, it’s a strategic and wise move for the province and B.C.’s film industry,” to decrease the credits,” Weller said. “The last thing B.C. wants is to ruin its

longstanding excellent reputation by having inexperienced crews working on major motion pictures and we certainly don’t want to burn out our locations, which are a vital component of our competitiveness.” The province consulted with the film and television industry before deciding to reduce the basic production-services tax credit to 28 per cent from the current 33 per cent. The rate for digital animation or visual effects drops to 16 per cent from 17.5 per cent. A transition period will be put in place for projects already invested in the province. De Jong said the strong U.S. dollar has helped make B.C. even more attractive to foreign film productions. Foreign film and television productions now comprise about 80 per cent of all production spending in the province. Between 2012-2013 and 2014-2015, industry spending on foreign and domestic productions that qualify for the production-services tax credit increased by more than 50 per cent to $2 billion. Tax credits are only one of the factors considered by the film industry when selecting locations, de Jong said. British Columbia is a key location for film and television production in North America, and a growing hub for digital animation and visual effects, because of its talented workforce, world-class infrastructure, spectacular locations and proximity to Hollywood. — Dale Bass

T
he people who make the Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music (KISSM) sing every year are moving closer to expanding their programs to provide music instruction year-round. The Whole Note is a music education and outreach program KISSM has been working on for some time, gathering sponsorships and spreading awareness of its goal — to help kids who are keen on learning music, but face financial chal-
lenges in accessing that kind of instruction and mentorship. KISSM executive director Kim Mangan said while the city has always stepped up to support the sports side of living, music hasn’t had as much attention. The Whole Note program would take children with musical talent from lowincome families and provide 10 private lessons, a scholarship to the annual KISSM three-week program, mentorship through involvement with a community music group, professional photos of the student with their instrument and a professionally written biography.
The hope is to support 20 students in the first year, doubling the number in the second and aiming for 55 students in the third year. It will only consider committed students, budding musicians who “are doing as much in musicians they can already,” Mangan said. She sees it as complementing the existing music instruction offered through the school system. Mangan has been approaching various potential sponsors in the area and said the response has been positive. Cheryl Martin, president of the KISSM
board, said building partnerships is key to the plan, from the sponsors to other musicians in the area who can provide the mentorship and opportunities to perform for the students. While the two know there’s a growing and keen musical community in the city — even Martin began piano lessons in recent years — the growth of KISSM this year has reinforced it. By the beginning of the month, 182 young musicians had registered for the summer program, 50 more than at the same point last year. Mangan and Martin were concerned earlier when they learned ren-
ovations at the schools they have used in the past would preclude use this year. However, they have found space at Sa-Hali secondary that is bigger than what they have had in the past at Beattie School of the Arts and South Kamloops secondary. They’ll be turning the gym into a theatre and Mangan knows the acoustics will work fine with the musical theatre programming. Anyone interested in working with the program or those wanting more information can contact Mangan at 250-5745437 or online at kamloopswholenote.com.

arah Gerow doesn’t know what it is about cats that has made them an Internet sensation. But the Kamloops SPCA animal-care supervisor hopes those same cat videos will help bring awareness to the number of felines in need of adoption across the country. “Traditionally all across Canada, there are more cats in shelters,” she said. “There are many more
cats than homes.” Last year, the Kamloops branch took in 1,062 cats compared to 291 dogs. When KTW spoke with Gerow on Friday, about 100 cats and 10 dogs were housed at the Eighth Street shelter. “Most people are looking for kittens, but you know traditional cats are harder to find homes for,” she said. “If we get a stray dog in and a stray cat, chances are the stray dog will be claimed and the stray cat will not.” The River City also has a significant feral cat population in North Kamloops. Cost of care at the SPCA — including vaccinations,

W E S T E R N
deworming, spaying or neutering, supplements, etc. — is about $450 per cat. “We vaccinate them, deworm them. If they come in with any other pests, we treat them for those,” Gerow said. On Sunday, May 22, the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies Just for Cats Video Festival will help raise money to support cats through Humane Societies and SPCA branches. A reel of curated cat videos will be shown at the Hal Rogers Centre, in Albert McGowan Park in Sahali. Gerow hopes the imagery will create awareness and G I F T

increase the “value of cats.” The reel will be shown twice, at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are $12 for adults, $8 for kids ages six to 12 and free for kids five years of age and younger. Since its inception in 2014, the event has raised more than $200,000 and this year’s goal is $100,000. With at least 16 festivals of its kind being held throughout the country, this is the first year it has come to Kamloops. The money will help promote cat-welfare programs throughout Canada.

It was a simple request that made its way to Ken Lepin’s desk: Would he be interested in sponsoring a table at a fundraiser? But, said wife Maureen, Ken doesn’t do “soft costs.” He likes to put his money into things he can see and touch and that last. So he asked Wendy Marlow, executive director of the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice House, for a wish list. Ken’s response to the list touched Marlow and her staff as the local philanthropist picked three on the list to buy for the hospice. “I was hoping for just one and then I got a phone call from

Maureen. ‘Hello, Miss Wendy, can you come for tea?’ And when I got there, Ken handed over a letter that had all three,” Marlow said. Ever the businessman, Ken added 20 per cent to the estimated cost for a ceiling lift, renovations for the families kitchen area and expansion of what Marlow called the facility’s archaic storage system. The decision came after Maureen, a retired nurse, visited the hospice, spending about 90 minutes meeting staff, learning about the services it provides — and eating cookies. “Someone comes in every day and bakes cookies for everyone,” she said. “I was so highly impressed. Everybody was just marvellous. I
T H E
loved it.” The lift is something the staff has wanted for some time. It will help provide care for geriatric clients who need that assistance getting in and out of bed — and reduces the risk of staff being injured trying to do it themselves. The families kitchen needs more counter space, Marlow said, and a commercialgrade ice maker will be installed. The hospice has to keep files for a decade and storage was an issue, she added, so improvements in that area are also welcome. Ken said he was unaware hospice has to do so much fundraising — each year it needs to raise at least $800,000 just to keep the facility running — and he’s
L O V E
hoping by making the $30,000 donation, others will also step up to support it. Maureen added she suspects most people think government money totally funds the facility. Fifty-one per cent of its budget comes from government, Marlow said. Donations come in many forms, from the annual gala that sparked the initial donation request to memorial donations, third-party fundraisers, garden sales and loonies and toonies children have brought in, maybe in memory of a grandparent or other loved one. The Lepins see the hospice as a vital part of the health-care system in the area, particularly as the boomer generation continues to age.

May is Childca
While most parents would like to be the ones looking a�er their children, modern living means nding a childcare solu�on. This can be a difficult step for parents — handing over the most forma�ve years of their children’s lives to a stranger. Childcare providers are o�en the rst people outside a child’s family who care for a them and the rst and most important teachers in their lives. “It’s an incredibly emo�onal kind of �me when you’re leaving your child in the hands of someone else,” said Sue Lissel, manager of Make Children First. “We really try to celebrate the role childcare providers have in the community because, for mothers and fathers who have to work, they are trus�ng this system is going to care for their kids.” “There are lots of partners in the community that are working to make sure there is informa�on out there so that we are all working from the same understanding of what children need and also holding these care providers in some kind of esteem.” Everyday early childhood educators facilitate the learning, growth and crea�vity of kids during incredibly important years of their lives. They teach children to share and respect themselves and others. Cathy Bala�, owner of Beyond the Bell Out of School Care, said they strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children that meets their ever-changing needs while also providing peace of mind for parents. “We recognize and respect that parents are the primary and most important provider of care and nurturing,” said Sandra Jodoin, administrator at Kamloops Kidz Early Learning Centre. “We believe parents and early childhood educators are partners in children’s care and educa�on.”

Lindsay found guilty of second degree murder RED DEER — An Alberta man has been found guilty of second-degree murder in the 2011 death of Dana Turner — more than three years after a Kamloops judge found him not criminally responsible for separate violent crimes. In 2012, Mark Lindsay admitted in a Kamloops courtroom to killing Turner, but said he did so because he believed she was part of a group of supernatural serial killers. Lindsay’s trial in Red Deer on charges of second-degree murder and offering an indignity to a human body wrapped up last week. His lawyer argued Lindsay suffered a decade of escalating mental illness before the crime. A judge later determined Lindsay could be held responsible for her death. The Crown maintained there was nothing to indicate Lindsay, who is the son of former Edmonton police chief John Lindsay, showed fear of Turner in the days leading up to the killing. Court heard Lindsay stabbed Turner, his girlfriend at the time, in the eye with a pencil, then strangled her with a shoelace. Lindsay’s conduct “shows purposeful and logical steps to cover up what he had done,’’ Justice Eldon Simpson of Court of Queen’s Bench said Friday. Simpson also said Lindsay “understood what he did was wrong.’’ The Fort Saskatchewan woman’s body was found in the fall of 2011
dumped near Innisfail. In August 2011, Lindsay was released from an Edmonton jail after serving a 50-day sentence for stabbing Turner in the head. Within days of his release from custody, Turner vanished. Her body was found months later in a farmer’s field outside Red Deer. Prior to the body being located, police launched a Mr. Big sting targeting Lindsay. He was on his first out-of-town trip with undercover Mounties posing as gangsters — a drive from and Edmonton suburb to Kamloops to drop off a trailer containing two ATVs — when he attacked the officer during a stop at a Barriere gas station. Court heard Lindsay handed the undercover officer a Mr. Big chocolate bar before the attack. Lindsay was arrested by Kamloops RCMP a short time later. While he was awaiting trial at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre, Lindsay stabbed his cellmate twice in the eye — once with a pen and once with a pencil — after a dispute during a game of Scrabble. In 2012, a B.C. Supreme Court judge in Kamloops found Lindsay not criminally responsible for the attack on the Mountie and the attack on the cellmate. During his trial in Kamloops, Lindsay admitted to both attacks and to the murder of Turner. A date for Lindsay’s sentencing in Red Deer is expected to be set on June 6. — The Canadian Press

MORE OF THE SAME FOR PACK AT CHAMPIONSHIP STAFF REPORTER

The Canadian College Baseball Conference Championship was the season in a nutshell for the Thompson Rivers WolfPack — there were flashes of excellence, but inconsistency and inexperience ruled the day. The WolfPack went 1-3 at the national championship in Kelowna on the weekend, winning 12-10 against host
Okanagan College Coyotes, but falling 16-5 to the Prairie Baseball Academy Dawgs — who repeated as champions — 9-6 to the Vancouver Island Baseball Institute Mariners and 9-7 to the Calgary Dinos. “Just like most of our season, we were up and down, some young mistakes,” manager Ray Chadwick said, characterizing the weekend for Thompson Rivers. “A few hits in a couple of different situations and

APPOINTMENT
make a few plays in a couple of different situations and we would have been playing in the championship game again.” PBA defeated the Coyotes 5-4 in the championship. With the win, the Lethbridge-based academy has won six consecutive titles dating back to 2011. The Wolves last claimed the national crown in 2009 and also won in 2007 and 2005. The WolfPack’s inconsistency at the national
championship was not altogether unexpected. The club finished the regular season at 13-15, having struggled to establish the level of performance normally characteristic of it. It was the first time since the CCBC began posting records online in 2010 that the Pack finished with a sub-.500 record. Chadwick reiterated the youth of the team certainly showed at the championship, but said those players had earned the right to
be on the field when the games mattered most. The WolfPack had four rookies named to CCBC all-star teams. Three players in the team’s rotation were first-year players, as were four of their everyday fielders. “It bodes well for us in the future but, again, we were looking to win this year as we’re looking to win every year,” Chadwick said. “I don’t ever see us in a rebuilding mode because I think every year that we
show up, we’re showing up to win, whether we’re young or not.” For a quartet of players — outfielder Will Miller, infielder Tony Tabor, pitcher Frank Fisico and catcher Evan Douglas — the CCBC Championship marked the end of university baseball. Tabor and Miller were both three-time all-stars. “It’s always a treat and sadness at the same time, when I’ve got guys that are done with their eligibility here,” Chadwick said.

Huber scores TKO win in second pro bout ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Ken Huber’s hands are developing quite the reputation in the professional ranks. The Kamloopsbased boxer known as Heavy Hands defeated Ladner’s “Dyna” Mike Dowsett in Nanaimo on the weekend, winning by TKO just one minute and nine
seconds into the third stanza of a four-round fight. The win is the second of Huber’s professional career, which began when he transitioned from amateur earlier this year. He has won both fights by knockout. “So many people to thank and not even sure where to start,” Huber said on his official Facebook fan page

on Saturday morning. “Thank you all! I’m overwhelmed with love and support. I love you all!” Huber dismantled Dowsett in Friday night’s bout. The Kamloops Boxing Academy fighter was on the offensive for most of the first round, twice knocking down Dowsett — an opponent who overshadowed him in both weight and height. Huber had Dowsett’s nose bleeding before the end of the round. In the second, the boxers traded punches, with Huber again getting the better of Dowsett, but with both fighters appearing to slow by the end of the round. The tilt would make it no further than the third round. After Dowsett mounted what would be his best offensive push of the night, Huber
landed a right-hand uppercut to send his opponent to the mat. The punch found Dowsett’s chin as he leaned in close, in what appeared to be an effort to catch his breath after throwing a series of punches. His second victory in hand, Huber won’t have long to rest. He is scheduled to fight again on June 11 in Saskatchewan. An opponent has not yet been named. The first fight of his professional career came in the province, where he defeated Prince Albert’s Clay Dumais, also by knockout. “I made some fans and some haters there, so they want me back,” Huber said of Saskatchewan, before his fight against Dowsett. Huber was 27-7 as an amateur and had just two knockouts.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Hilda Dabner April 16, 1928 - April 22, 2016 Hilda passed away peacefully with family at Kamloops Hospice on Friday, April 22, 2016. Hilda was born in Darlington County Durham U.K. to John and Hilda Thompson. Shortly afterwards, the family along with younger sister Joan, settled in Malton, Yorkshire. Hilda had wonderful memories with her sister Joan in the George Hotel, where their Mum worked, they made many trips to Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay and the Yorkshire Moors. As a young girl, Hilda served as an apprentice photographer at Massey’s in Malton during the war, her niece Lesley still works there today as a co-owner. A few years later, Hilda met her future husband Ken, who was with the Royal Air Force and they married in Malton in 1948. Hilda and Ken moved to Plymouth to live with Ken’s mum and dad Sam and Win. They eventually settled in Ernesettle, Plymouth where they would have two boys Philip and Christopher. Looking for a better life, the family set sail for Canada in the 1950’s. Soon afterwards, Ken joined the Canadian Forces and the family moved back to Europe. The time in Europe was a wonderful experience for the family. Eventually, the family moved back to Canada and settled in Kamloops, BC which became their home for the next 40+ years. Hilda worked at Woolworth’s in downtown Kamloops and had many close friends working at Woolco and the photo Lab at Walmart. England was always in Hilda’s heart. She enjoyed her many trips back to England with Ken, Phil and Janet to enjoy time with her sister and family from the north and south. Hilda also loved her time at the Shuswap Lake with son Chris, his wife Lynda and their family. Hilda was predeceased by her husband Ken and son Chris and spent the last three years at the Berwick in Kamloops, and even though she was a private person, she touched the hearts of many. She will be fondly remembered by her special friend and dinner partner Alex. Hilda was a lovely lady and a wonderful wife to Ken for 60 years. An incredible Mum, the family will forever cherish our Sunday dinners, Hilda’s love of Christmas, and cooking her traditional Cornish Pasties from the South and Yorkshire Puddings from the North. Hilda will be laid to rest in peace back home with her
beloved Ken, her Mum and sister Joan. She will be dearly missed by her son Phil and family, Janet Dabner, daughter-inlaw Lynda, grandsons Jason (Erika), Sam (Amy), Jamie (Tera), great-granddaughters Zoe, Ava, Kennedy and great-grandson Krew.

Thank you John, the memories of you and your dad, Uncle Brian Freer, spending time with Mum and Dad in the Yorkshire Moors, Canary Islands, San Francisco and Canada were special times. John, you are such a character, Mum loved you like a son and your nickname for her “Chi-Chi” was a symbol of adoration and love, thank you for that.

A Vanished Friend by Anders Lim
Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name. “Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.” But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!” And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!

May 2, 1922 – April 30, 2016
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mark Schiller after an eight and a half year battle with cancer. He is survived by his loving wife and soulmate Donna (Aldred), mother Norma, sister Betty Brown (John Morris) and brother Steven. He was predeceased by his father Anthony. Mark is already terribly missed by his family and friends but we know that he is finally at peace, safe in the arms of Jesus.
Rita Gertrude Cosens of Kamloops, BC passed away on April 30, 2016 at 93 years of age.
Mark was born in Vancouver and grew up in Burnaby. He received his teaching degree from Simon Fraser University while working for CN, first as a coach cleaner and then as a carman. He later received his Master’s degree from the University of British Columbia. Mark put his skills to work serving the students in the Interior of BC for thirty years in many different capacities. A lifelong learner, once retiring from public education, Mark earned his TESL certificate through Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops. He taught English language learners there for several terms before his health forced him into permanent retirement. During this time he also volunteered with Cancer Connection, supporting others with a cancer diagnosis. Mark loved sports, nature, travel, walking, was an avid reader and never lost his love of trains. He touched many lives and will always be remembered as a positive, kind and gentle soul with a keen sense of humour. A special thanks to all of the wonderful doctors, nurses, technicians and other support staff that we met along Mark’s cancer journey. The family is especially grateful for the loving care he received at Cascade Hospice in Chilliwack, where he spent his last few days. Mark had asked that there be no service of any kind for his remains. However, those wishing to honour Mark’s passing could consider a donation to Canuck Place Children’s Hospice, or other charity of your choice. Final arrangements are being handled by Bakerview Crematorium Online condolences may be made at bakerviewcrematorium.com.

Steven Ronald Bregoliss Steven Ronald Bregoliss took his final flight on the evening of May 6, 2016. Steve passed away peacefully at RIH with his three children by his side.
In Loving Memory Of Linda Ann Marte June 8, 1948 - May 17, 2015
Steve was predeceased by his father Ronald Bregoliss. He will be greatly missed by his mother Thelma Bregoliss, son Ron Bregoliss, daughters Shana (Chris) Semrick and Kristin (Mark) Ignacz and granddaughters Leaf and Hannah. Steve attended St. Ann’s Academy and Kam High before graduating from UBC as a civil engineer in 1973. He joined his father Ronald in Bregoliss Construction and Plateau Construction. In addition to contract work with Lafarge Canada, Steve’s quarrying and road building contracts led him all over BC. In 1999, Steve accepted a job as the head of Texada Quarrying. Over the next ten years, he would help develop the business into the largest aggregate operation in Canada. Steve’s love of flying his Cessna 210 plane was matched only by his extensive resume as an avid outdoorsman. In addition to his involvement with the Kamloops Flying Club, Heffley Creek Gun Club and Kamloops Trap and Skeet Club over the years, Steve also enjoyed hunting trips with his closest friends. He led fishing excursions at the Dean River, Bella Coola, and his love of fishing led him to Florida on an annual basis to wrangle the mighty tarpon fish. Amongst it all, Steve found solace in returning to the family farm where he was greeted by his beloved dog and greatest companion Buddy. Steve always found room at the table for extra guests and welcomed everyone with open arms. We welcome all who knew Steve to join us for a Memorial Service at 1:00 pm on Saturday, May 28, 2016 at Calvary Community Church, 1205 Rogers Way, Kamloops. Should friends desire, donations to Steve’s cousin’s charity: Love is the Answer (loveistheanswer.ca) would be appreciated in lieu of flowers. Condolences may be expressed at: www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454
ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE DAY YOU WENT AWAY Today’s the anniversary Of the day that I lost you, And for a time it felt as though My life had ended too. But loss has taught me many things And now I face each day With hope and happy memories To help me on my way. And though I’m full of sadness That you’re no longer here, Your influence still guides me And I still feel you near. Your memory will never die It lives within my heart, Bringing strength and comfort always While we are apart. Unknown Author
Forever Loved and Missed, Your Family

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Aries, your tendency this week is to escape into your mind and imagination. While that’s fine for a little while, pretty soon you have to come back down to earth.
Taurus, people are pulling you in all sorts of directions this week. They each want you to share in their good times, but there’s only so much of you that can go around.
Well-laid plans are the cornerstone of a successful week, Libra. Everything will go smoothly, but most days should pass without a hitch. Enjoy the brief respite.
Scorpio, expect a lot of action this week. There’s no slowing down as you check off each item on your to-do list. Others may have difficulty keeping up with you.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 2
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Gemini, even though you generally like to keep your feet on the ground, this week you are looking to be a little adventurous. Let someone entice you into a whimsical journey.
Cancer, a desire to bring more calm into your life could have you seeking out a vacation or just a respite from daily life. Take the time to unwind and you’ll come back recharged.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
Leo, this week may prove to be a little intense, but you’ll muster the energy and strength to push on through. Balancing fun and some workrelated responsibilities is key.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
Practicality seems to disappear when you have your mind on enjoyable activities,Virgo. Find a way to be both fun and practical and you will be set.

Sagittarius, live creative fantasies this week because you might not have another chance to indulge for a while. This is the break you have been seeking for some time.
Honesty is always the best policy, Capricorn. This will become obvious when a past untruth you shared comes back to haunt you. Confess now to save face.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
You have the physical stamina to accomplish many things, Aquarius. This week is bound to be one with a lot of progress. Make a list now of what you want to accomplish.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Pisces, be patient with the people around you. You may be fast to grasp a concept, but it could take others a little while longer.
