A Kamloops disability advocate is among Canadians featured in a new book celebrating stories of everyday citizens. Krystian Shaw, founder of the Kamloops Self-Advocate newsletter, is one of 116 Canadians profiled and photographed in What’s Your Story?
The book was published by the CBC as part of a national storytelling project in honour of Canada’s 150th birthday. “It’s from all Canadians, about what they are doing to make this a better world and how they’re celebrating Canada’s birthday year,” Shaw said. His four-year-old newsletter was created to honour people with what he describes as “diverse abilities” and to challenge pre-
conceptions of what those with intellectual and physical disabilities are able to accomplish. His What’s Your Story? entry discusses his personal journey to overcome those preconceived ideas. “I was born with intellectual and developmental disabilities as well as an anxiety disorder,” Shaw wrote.

WHAT: Public hearing on proposed bylaw governing marijuana dispensaries WHEN: Tuesday, Dec. 19, 7 p.m. WHERE: Valley First Lounge in Sandman Centre, 300 Lorne St.
Buckley said a fine at the maximum amount of $10,000 would be crippling to most dispensaries. The City of Kamloops is hosting a public hearing on the topic at 7 p.m. on Tuesday in the Valley First Lounge at Sandman Centre. Dispensaries in Kamloops have been operating without licences because the city refuses to license businesses it deems illegal. Marijuana remains illegal until it is legalized by the federal government, but some cities have opted to license dispensaries in the meantime. Medical marijuana is legal, but can only be obtained legally through Health Canada. “The dispensaries here can’t comply with the bylaws,” Buckley said. “The City of Kamloops will not issue a business licence to a business that sells cannabis.” See CITY CAO, A11
FINANCING FROM
200 0.9 †
A Kamloops lawyer says a proposed city bylaw aimed at controlling marijuana dispensaries — a move he thinks is aimed at shuttering pot shops — ahead of the drug’s legalization next summer is unconstitutional. However, according to management at city hall, the proposed rules would only give the city some authority over an unregulated, unlicensed business. “Basically, they’re saying it’s going to become legalized and they don’t want existing dispensaries to be grandfathered in,” lawyer Shawn Buckley told KTW. “Really what they’re doing is putting clubs that people rely on out of business. The timing is really suspect. I smell money. “They don’t want them to have some advantage the new businesses [post-legalization dispensaries] don’t have? But then aren’t they giving the new businesses an advantage because they don’t have to compete?” The proposed bylaw change would increase maximum daily fines businesses could be charged for operating without a licence from $200 to $10,000.

WHETHER IT IS LEGAL OR ILLEGAL, IT DOESN’T MATTER!
The negative affects of your mouth’s health, Dr. Preety Desai are not based upon the legality of marijuana, methamphetamines or narcotics. Either way they all have very serious oral repercussions on top of the systemic repercussions according to researchers. Physiological changes which occur include parasympathetic nervous system changes such as fainting more frequently in a stressful situation (like going to the dentist!), Changes in the width of your blood vessels and longer episodes of a faster heart rate at the dentist or doctor’s office when using local anaesthetic containing epinephrine. DRY MOUTH & MORE CAVITIES: The first thing that smoking or vaping does is to shut down the saliva production in your mouth. Saliva contains key ingredients and local immunological factors to fight cavity causing bacteria. Research shows that 5 nicotine containing cigarettes is equivalent to 1 cannabis containing cigarette or 1 episode of vaping. LOOSE TEETH: I have spoken at length about how most smokers lose their teeth faster due to gum disease but a recent Columbia University researcher shows that “frequent recreational cannabis smokers are twice at risk compared to infrequent users to lose their teeth.” ORAL CANCER RISK: Smoking or chewing both lead to inflammatory or precancerous changes in the tissue linings and gums of your mouth. Even the peppermint additives (just like nicotine additives) contribute to precancerous changes in the mouth. INFECTION RISK: Cannabis containing hydrocarbons suppress the immune functions in the body and thus an overgrowth of fungal infections in the whole gastrointestinal system including the mouth. Fungal infections are insidious and toxic to the whole body’s immunological equilibrium DRUG INTERACTIONS: Cannabis and other narcotics interact with the central nervous system (ie the brain and the spinal chord) and thus if you are taking other centrally acting prescribed drugs such as antidepressants, benzodiazepines, barbiturates or narcotics such a codeine there will indeed be interactions and competitions for cell receptors in your brain which will change bioavailability; simply put, a normal prescribed dose becomes unpredictably toxic! Thus, people can bleed uncontrollably if taking NSAIDs and antiplatelet drugs (ibuprofen etc), diabetics can have uncontrolled sugar levels due to metformin interactions. So whether you choose to partake legally or illegally; cannabis or illegal narcotics, the marketing and promotions by the distributors have a vested interest to sell you more product and discount the seriousness of repercussions. Be your own researcher and educate yourself.
Prepare for snow if you are travelling to the Lower Mainland — or even within city limits. Environment Canada was calling for five to 10 centimetres of the white stuff to fall on the Coquihalla Highway between Merritt and Hope on Monday night, with another 15 centimetres expected on Tuesday. The snow is expected to taper off to flurries by Wednesday morning. In Kamloops, the recent warm temperatures will give way to snow on Tuesday and colder air later in the week. Environment Canada is forecasting five centimetres of snow to fall in the city on Tuesday, with more expected in
upper areas, such as Aberdeen. Winds will pick up at noon to about 20/km, with the mercury fluctuating between 0 C and -6 C. The snow is expected to be replaced on Wednesday by sun and clouds and colder readings on the thermometer. Straight sunshine and colder temperatures are expected from Friday through Christmas Day. The forecast: • Tuesday: snow, 5 cm; high 0 C, low -6 C • Wednesday: sun and clouds; high -3 C, low -11 C • Thursday: cloudy with flurries; high -2 C, low -13 C
• Friday: sunny; high -8 C, low -15 C • Saturday: sunny; high -9 C, low -14 C • Sunday: sunny; high -10 C, low -13 C • Christmas Day: sunny; high -7 C, low -13 C Road conditions are available online at drivebc.ca. Through the first 18 days of December, Kamloops has recorded just 0.4 centimeters of snow, based on measurements at the airport (upper levels of the city usually receive more snow than that recorded at Fulton Field). In December 2016, Kamloops received 39.5 centimetres of snow, based on Environment Canada data at the airport.

Former Kamloops councillor Marg Spina is being remembered as someone who worked tirelessly to make the city a better place for all. Spina died on Friday morning. She resigned from council on June 30 after announcing she had incurable cancer. Her daughter Christina posted online: “It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of my Mom, Marg Spina after her courageous year long battle with cancer. She passed away at 4 a.m. surrounded by family at hospice in Kamloops. “Our family would like to thank the doctors and staff at Royal Inland Hospital and Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House for the wonderful care and support they provided to her and our family.” A public memorial service will be held on Jan. 20 at a venue to be determined. There are so many ways to describe Spina — school board trustee, city councillor, fundraiser, partnership builder, fierce advocate for those with autism, wife, mom, friend. This year, that resume added the words cancer patient and she confronted her disease with dignity and humour. Coun. Pat Wallace, calling Spina “one of the best friends I ever had,” said she is tre-
mendously sad. Wallace praised Spina for everything she did in Kamloops, noting it didn’t matter whether you voted for her in any of her political roles. “She had everyone’s interest at heart,” Wallace said, noting her death “leaves a really big void in our community for many, many reasons.” Mayor Ken Christian ordered flags at all civic buildings be lowered at noon on Friday and remain at half-mast for 48 hours. “Marg’s service to Kamloops was multifaceted and continuous,” he said. “From consumer affairs to the food bank, she advocated strongly for those in our city who were less fortunate. “During her time on council, she served for nearly a decade with the ThompsonNicola Regional District board, the Thompson Regional Hospital District, the Southern Interior Local Government Association and the Union of B.C. Municipalities. Marg always represented seniors, persons with disability and persons less fortunate with caring hands and an open heart.” Chris Rose, for whom the city’s autism therapy centre is named, said he was saddened by the news of Spina’s death, noting the centre wouldn’t exist had it not been for her work.
Rose said Spina was the driving force behind its creation in 1989 when she flew to Montreal. She travelled to Quebec to meet with a woman — who, like Spina, had a child with autism — who had created a school for children like theirs. At the time, the centre, which is now at 1111 Tranquille Rd. on the North Shore, was called Giant Steps West. Spina, along with nine other parents, raised $110,000 in six weeks to get it off the ground. Coun. Arjun Singh said he was saddened to hear the news, posting on Facebook: “Marg Spina was an inspiration to me and many others. A dynamic trailblazer who worked on behalf of so many. I will miss her dearly.” School District 73 board chair Meghan Wade said she was devastated to hear of Spina’s death. “Through the years, in all the different areas of work I have done, Marg could always be counted on,” she said. Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Peter Milobar, who as mayor worked with Spina on Kamloops council, called her “a strong, kind-hearted women who did so much for Kamloops. “She was always willing to take up the fight for the less fortunate and was always wanting to find innovative ways to help people.”

Water filtration units may be coming to a Valleyview elementary school after concerns about lead levels in the building were raised at a recent parent advisory committee meeting. One heavy-metal filtration water fountain may be purchased via fundraising at Marion Schilling elementary, while the parent advisory committee may look at raising money for a second unit. Each unit is estimated to cost $1,600. In a letter to Premier John Horgan and Minister of Education Rob Fleming, parent Eddy Davis said the school needs two such stations — one for primary students and one for intermediate students. The reason, Davis said in the letter, is because an analysis of the water coming from the existing taps have shown the lead content “grossly exceeds the allowable limits for safe consumption.” School District 73 superintendent Alison Sidow said some PACs in the region have been opting to buy filtration systems for their schools. She said it would cost the district about $200,000 to provide filtration systems for all schools that need them.
Among the 44 schools in the district, only Pacific Way, built in 2000, does not have a lead problem in its water. Sidow said the district knows filtration is an interim solution. The cost to deal with lead solder in water pipes would cost upwards of $10 million, Sidow said, and would take several years to complete because the work would need to be done when students aren’t in classrooms. Calling it a provincial issue — schools in other districts are experiencing the same issue with elevated lead levels — Sidow said the district is developing a budget that might help address the problem outside of the current budget year. Amanda Jensen, president of the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association, said the issue of lead in the water has been discussed by a joint union-SD73 health and safety committee for months. In June, all schools in the Kamloops-Thompson school district except Pacific Way elementary were told to flush hallway fountains and classroom taps daily to eliminate elevated levels of lead. Twin Rivers Education Centre (TREC) on the North Shore and Westwold elementary were designated to provide bot-
tled water as tests showed lead levels in water in those buildings were the highest of any school. Last December, the health and safety committee was told replacing a fountain at TREC had no impact on the level of lead. The provincial government ordered testing of water in all schools and found lead in 28 of 217 tests in the district. On average, the lead content was 12.9 per cent above the acceptable limit. Kamloops ranked 15th of the 34 districts tested; Greater Victoria was atop the rankings with 313 of the 612 taps and fountains tested showing lead at an average content of 51.1 per cent above the accepted limits. In the letter to Victoria, Davis said the district maintenance staff are “doing a great job of keeping the places operational and clean and functional to the best of their budgets and their ability, given what they have to work with. Davis continued: “How did this situation develop without any alarms being raised at a district political level? At a provincial level? A federal level? How is it that the Interior Health Authority has not raised the alarm? How is it that the entire school district is full of schools with lead piping in the water supply?”
Canada Games Pool closed for maintenance The Canada Games Aquatic Centre in the Tournament Capital Centre is closed and will reopen on Wednesday, Dec. 27. The main pool and kids’ pool is closed for annual
maintenance that normally takes place at the end of August. However, due to poor air quality from wildfires this past summer, the city decided to keep the pool open in late
August to give residents and wildfire evacuees a place to escape the smoky air. The rest of the Tournament Capital Centre, including the indoor track inside the fieldhouse and the
gyms and ping-room on the upper floor, remain open. Those wishing to take a dip between now and Dec. 27 can head to the renovated Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre.

About 3,000 people flocked to the area behind Sandman Centre on Friday to greet the arrival of the CP Holiday Train. The annual visit supports the Kamloops Food Bank and this year, said executive director Bernadette Siracky, was a record-breaker. More than 4,000 pounds of food was hauled back to the organization’s Wilson Street headquarters and almost $40,000 in cash was raised at the event — the most ever collected on site — including a $15,000 donation from CP. Siracky noted the warm temperatures (above the freezing mark) likely helped produce the large crowd. More photos can be seen online at kamloopsthisweek.com by clicking on the Community tab.

City MLAs not surprised by rejection of Ajax mine ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Neither of Kamloops’ B.C. Liberal MLAs expressed surprise over the decision by Victoria and Ottawa to deny the proposed Ajax mine project, with Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Peter Milobar singling out the installation of a provincial NDP government as the moment he assumed Ajax would not proceed. “After the appointments of ministers [George] Heyman and [Michelle] Mungall, I think many betting people would have said it was going to be a no,” Milobar said of the provincial environment and mining ministers. “It’s not a big shock, but it is disappointing from the economic side that we won’t see 500 family-supporting jobs.” Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone also described the project’s rejection as disappointing, but noted the government was following the direction of the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (BCEAO), which had recommended not issuing a permit to the proposal after reviewing KGHM’s mine application. “I do have respect for the Environmental Assessment Office and I’ve said all along that the recommendation needed to be made by the professionals in the EAO,” he said. Stone said he could not speculate on what decision a

Go online to kamloopsthisweek. com for more thoughts on the Ajax decision, including these: Dr. Jill Calder, spokeswoman for Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment: “My main feeling is just sort of a tired relief and thankfulness,” said Calder, noting she sees the concerns her group raised around health outcomes and KGHM’s pledged mitigation levels reflected in the decision. She expects rejection of Ajax will make it easier to recruit doctors to Kamloops, which her group had argued would become difficult if Ajax was approved. “They have the pick of Kelowna, Calgary, Victoria, Edmonton — all of these places are looking for doctors and we’re competing with that draw for new grads,” Calder said. “It does nothing but help us,” she said of the decision. There was no positive spin to having that mine here for recruitment purposes.”
B.C. Liberal government would have made on the mine, but said in his experience, ministers’ decisions aligned with BCEAO recommendations more often than not. Milobar said the decision leaves it unclear where the goalposts are for resource-based projects in B.C., arguing there is an appearance of a veto for First Nations bands in the Ajax decision. “I asked minister Heyman directly during estimates whether or not the SSN (Stk’emlupsemc te Secwepemc,
which is composed of the Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn First Nations) stating ‘no free and prior informed consent’ meant the project was dead, and he said categorically and answered right there that there’s no veto with that,” Milobar said. “Yet you hear how many times how he references SSN and their opposition and it’s hard to see how that didn’t play a significant and final decisionmaking role in this,” Milobar said. Stone said the city now needs to focus on attracting other investors to Kamloops, promoting the city’s diversified economy and moving past years of debate. “This is one of the most divisive issues that I can recall in the city of Kamloops and we all need to double down in our efforts to bring healing and bringing the community back together,” he said. John Schleiermacher, spokesman for the anti-Ajax Kamloops Area Preservation Association, said he expects this to be the end for the mining project, noting the company had already made major revisions to its plan before submitting its assessment. He said the decision will be a relief moving forward. “What do we do now? We enjoy living in Kamloops, for one thing, without this big elephant hanging over your head, the elephant in the room,” he said. “It just makes the future much more clear.”

Campout raises $30,000-plus MONEY WILL GO TOWARD SAFE SUITES FOR HOMELESS YOUTH Fifty-two people, including city councillors and business owners, took part in Friday night’s Campout for Homeless Youth, raising more than $30,000 for an initiative to help homeless youth. The event was organized by youth homelessness organization A Way Home and Domino’s Pizza. Participants spent Friday night outside of the pizza place
at Fortune Drive and Tranquille Road on the North Shore. The campout raised money to create safe suites for homeless youth. Domino’s owner Rocky Hunter, who also took part in the campout, donated 1,000 pizzas to the cause and arranged for proceeds from $10 pizzas to go to the initiaive. A Way Home manager Katherine McParland said the
safe suites are intended to function as a bridge from the streets into housing and stability — somewhere they can stay while looking at their options for employment or education and a return to life off the streets. The organization wants to raise $300,000 in order to provide 24-hour staffing — something McParland said is important to help youth get off and stay off the streets.

CRISIS SHOWS NO SIGNS OF SLOWING
A
ccording to the BC Coroners Service, overdoses claimed 1,208 lives on the streets of B.C. between January and October, including 37 in Kamloops. Provincially, that’s almost double the same period in 2016 when there were 683 deaths and more than all of last year, when 935 such deaths were recorded. And, if you haven’t guessed where this is leading already, fentanyl played a big part in that increase. The coroners service said the drug was detected in 999 of the 1,208 confirmed and suspected overdose deaths. That’s with three months to go in 2017. That’s not a crisis, that’s a fullblown disaster. Almost 1,000 people overdosing on the same drug tells us we have a big problem with drug use in this province. According to the numbers, it’s growing, not decreasing. That means that despite more than a year’s talking and public worrying about the opioid crisis, we’re still not doing enough to stem the tide. While there has been much talk of overdoses reversed at overdose-prevention sites and supervised drug-use locations, the fact more people are dying this year than perished last year suggests the approach to the crisis is not working. The fact is the opioid crisis isn’t only affecting street people and drug addicts. It’s happening in nice neighbourhoods in Kamloops and beyond as people get addicted to their prescription painkillers. There are no easy answers that are going to make the problem go away. Even removing fentanyl as a prescription drug is unlikely to have much of an effect, since the supply of it and other opioids have long since escaped the bounds of the pharmacy. It is clear that the government needs to focus more resources on the problem. Making naloxone kits easily available only helps reduce the number of overdose deaths, but does not eliminate the problem of opioid addiction. Until this problem is dealt with, it will continue to grow.

Horgan on electoral reform
B
lack Press legislative columnist Tom Fletcher sat down with Premier John Horgan to talk about his plans for 2018. Here are excerpts: Tom Fletcher: You’re going to have a referendum on our voting system next year. You’ve said there is going to be a clear two-part question — do voters want to change or don’t they? — and the second part is still being worked out. Is that accurate? John Horgan: That’s pretty close to what I expect will come back from the consultation. I think it’s important that we ask the public if they want to change from what we’ve got now and, once that’s established, then what are the alternatives? This will be the third referendum on these questions in a little under 15 years, so I don’t think we have too many more opportunities to put this to the public. So we want to make sure we get it right. Tom Fletcher: This was a hot topic in the legislature, with suggestions that it’s being arranged for your political advantage or the B.C. Green Party’s political advantage. Can you respond to that? John Horgan: It certainly is not my intention to stack the deck in any way. This is something I’ve become increasingly passionate about. I voted against elec-

Our Man In
VICTORIA toral reform in 2005 because I was uncomfortable. I understood the first-pastthe-post system. It’s what I grew up with. But after spending four years as an opposition member, having no influence at all in government, effectively shutting out my constituents from having a say, I changed my view and felt that we needed to find a better way to reflect the diversity in our communities. In my mind, it’s not about the NDP, the Greens, the Liberals, the Conservatives — it’s about people electing a representative. What we’ve got now is the first minority parliament in 50 years and we have to work together and put aside our partisan issues to the greatest extent possible. I’ve been trying to do that, but you’ve been covering this place for a long time. It’s a partisan place. And we’re trying to dial that down, but sometimes it rears its ugly head. And I think that
as we go forward with the referendum and the question, I’m going to be as transparent as possible, making sure this is about how people elect someone, not how we elect more of one or the other. Tom Fletcher: You’ve said there will be protection for sparsely populated rural regions. How might that work? John Horgan: We’re going to have to come to a conclusion on that. I’ve heard clearly from rural MLAs in both the B.C. Liberal and NDP caucuses that their constituents are concerned they will somehow lose their ability to affect change within a sea of residents in southern Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland. We have to remember that our current system, if it were challenged in court, might be thrown out anyway. There is supposed to be only a 25 per cent deviation between the smallest constituency and the largest. We have more than half a dozen that have very few constituents than you would have in Vancouver or Richmond or Surrey. So, we have to find a balance regardless of whether it’s proportional representation or first past the post. But I absolutely hear the voices of people in rural B.C. that they don’t want to be left out of the political process.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
KGHM WAS NEVER THE BIG BAD MINING WOLF Editor: As a proponent of KGHM’s proposed Ajax mine, I accept the decision by senior levels of government not to approve the project. I do trust the process, although some opponents of Ajax have not always agreed with it. That said, and in fairness to KGHM’s efforts, I’d like to also add this notation. KGHM has never been the Big Bad Wolf during this years-long process. It is simply a large mining company that came to Kamloops with good intention and considerable investment when it
purchased the Ajax mine location. The tale of the tape shows clearly KGHM’s intent and goodwill in many scenarios. The company gave freely of its reserves when asked by the City of Kamloops for $350,000 to use for an independent review of its application, to be shared with Kamloops citizens. KGHM hosted many gatherings over the years, inviting the public to ask questions or present concerns to their experts brought in from many other mining locations operated by the company. KGHM also purchased Sugarloaf Ranch for
DECISION IMPACTS FUTURE Editor: Following the decision on Ajax, it would be a wise decision for mining companies not to locate in Kamloops. South central B.C. has a long history of mines and great potential for more. Kamloops is aggressively anti-mining, whereas Ashcroft and
Cache Creek welcome mining. Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta is promoting a copper refinery. A mining centre could be established around a refinery. Ashcroft has a small airport and a terminal at the junction of the CN and CP rail lines. There is a high
cost to doing business where it is discouraged, so it is only sensible to go to where business is encouraged. When oil companies were discouraged from doing business in Edmonton, they moved to Calgary. The rest is history. Richard Lodmell Kamloops
A MODEST PROPOSAL . . . Editor: In light of the rejection of the proposed Ajax mine by Victoria and Ottawa, I have a proposal for city council and the rest who opposed the project. I want to open a
peanut stand and create some high-paying jobs — with council’s approval, of course. I promise not to roast the peanuts in order to protect the environment. The wealth generated by this industry
would be more than enough to fund an art centre and a chairlift alongside the Peterson Creek bike path. We could hold a referendum on the subject. Hubert Plante Kamloops
$21 million and kept all employees in their full-time jobs. The company certainly did not have to as it is not involved in cattle ranching. It was a respectful gesture. There are many other examples showing clearly that KGHM was trying to gain approval to do business within Kamloops. That said, after considerable investment and time, I wish KGHM well should it try again to have Ajax approved. Other mining projects have reapplied with success. Les Evens Kamloops
AJAX DECISION BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT Editor: Regarding the decision by the provincial and federal governments to deny a permit to KGHM for its proposed Ajax copper and gold mine south of Kamloops: Thank you Dr. Jill Calder and all the physicians for a clean environment. Thanks, too, to all the protesters of the proposed Ajax mine. Thank you also to Richard Boyce, formerly of Highland Valley Copper, who stood his ground publicly and spoke of how wrong it would be to build a mine in our backyard. And for the amazing work of our local First Nations
and their rigorous report. When the issue first took prominence, I wasn’t sure which side I was on. But when Calder explained the damage caused by tiny, airborne particles, that was all I needed to know. Thank you to the federal Liberal and provincial NDP governments, and for the influence of the provincial Greens. Thank you to everyone who got us here. For those worried about jobs, let’s all work to make sure Kamloops provides those opportunities in a clean, healthy way. This is the best Christmas present ever. Margaret Archibald Kamloops

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: STORY: KAMLOOPS TO GET NEW TREEPROTECTION BYLAW:
“My property, my trees, my business.” — posted by James Nelson “It’s been proven that every mature tree on a property adds about $1,200 to the value of that land.” — posted by Hop4Me “Grow up, council. Can you perhaps take some time to think about job creation — or is that just too difficult? Quit wasting our tax money.” — posted by Patrick Lamb “Vancouver — and other progress communities — has it right. Vancouver understands the value of trees. If you want to remove a tree in Vancouver, you need a tree-removal permit for every tree that has a diameter of 20 centimetres or greater, measured at 1.4 metres above the ground. A tree trunk with a diameter of 20 centimetres will have a circumference of approximately 64 centimetres. We need to get over this bush league mentality that we have a Godgiven-right to destroy anything and everything in our path.” — posted by Bob Gamble

‘I’ve always wanted to make this world a better place for people with diverse abilities.’ From A1
“My mom was uncertain about my future since the doctors told her I would never be able to read and write, but I proved them wrong,” Shaw wrote in his story for the book. He also wrote about overcoming reluctant educators, teaching himself to use computers and getting help from community support programs to begin publication of the SelfAdvocate. “Now I own a suc-
cessful newsletter that is free to the public that focuses on reducing discrimination around all disabilities by reporting on positive success stories,” he wrote. Shaw said the newsletter has grown since it was featured in a KTW story in 2016. It now contains about four or five ads per issue, which have allowed him to secure a business licence for the newsletter. A number of organizations that stock the
letter are also requesting more copies due to customer demand, meaning a print expansion is on the way. Shaw said he is proud to be included in the book and to represent Kamloops. “I want to put my city on the map,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to make this world a better place for people with diverse abilities.” What’s Your Story? is available through Indigo booksellers. A free version is slated to
be released online this month. The Kamloops SelfAdvocate is available online at selfadvocatenet.com/kamloops-selfadvocate-newsletter and at various businesses and agencies in the city. Shaw is also looking for volunteers to ride the Big Bike for the Heart and Stroke Foundation in May. Interested participants can contact Shaw by email ay thekamloopsselfadvocate@ yahoo.com.

City CAO said legal advice is guiding proposed bylaw From A1
option remains on the table. “They have an avenue to get that by
registering with the federal government,” he said. “These aren’t just
medical marijuana dispensaries — these are illegal dispensaries.” Buckley believes
the city is being disingenuous. “I think this is a case of them saying
they’re trying to do one thing, but really trying to do something else,” he said.

Buckley said the bylaw would be unconstitutional on the grounds it would limit access for medicinal marijuana users. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled in 2016 that registered users of medicinal marijuana cannot be prohibited from possessing cannabis for medical purposes. “My concern is that I think the city is completely failing to appreciate how significant medically some of the products you can only get at compassion clubs are,” Buckley said. City of Kamloops CAO David Trawin said the proposed changes are not intended to put anyone out of business, but to give city officials more control over dispensaries for when marijuana sales become legal. “It’s not to forbid them,” he said. “They are illegal right now, but it’s not about shutting them down. It’s about controlling their location when they become legal.” Trawin said the city would like to impose rules similar to those governing cold beer and wine stores — keep them away from each other and schools. “Our lawyers have told us that if we don’t undertake enforcement right now, we abdicate our right to do that down the line,” he said, noting the city could have all dispensaries shut down immediately if it so chose, given their illegal status. “We could do it right now because they aren’t a business right now. They aren’t licensed.” As for Buckley’s
claims about potential impacts on users of medicinal marijuana, Trawin said the legal

British Columbia ends grizzly bear hunt GEORDON OMAND
THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — Hunting grizzly bears has been banned in British Columbia, a move guides complain will put them out of business, while environmentalists say it is long overdue.
B.C. Forests Minister Doug Donaldson said public consultations have made it clear killing grizzlies cannot be allowed, with the exception of First Nations who hunt for treaty rights or for food, social and ceremonial reasons. “It is no longer socially acceptable to

Unstructured play is a great way for your
the vast majority of British Columbians to hunt grizzly bears,’’ Donaldson said Monday. “That’s the message.’’ The spring hunt was scheduled to open in April, but the ban for both resident and nonresident hunters took effect immediately. There are an estimated 15,000 grizzly bears in the province, which Donaldson said is a sustainable population. In August, the provincial government announced a ban on trophy hunting across all of B.C., which came into effect following the close of the fall hunting season on Nov. 30. The government issued about 1,700 grizzly bear permits in 2017, mostly to B.C. hunters. An estimated 300 bears are killed in the hunt ever year, about
250 of which are taken by non-First Nations hunters. Rachel Forbes, head of the Grizzly Bear Foundation, applauded the ban, which she described as a welcome surprise. “It’s been well over a decade of bad news for bears in B.C., so we’re not usually prepared for good news,’’ Forbes said. “The easy decision is done. Now the hard work on addressing all the other cumulative threats to grizzly bears, such as habitat loss and food supply, has to begin.’’ Joe Foy of the Wilderness Committee called the ban tremendous news. “We are grateful that the government has finally stepped up to do what the people have asked for which is an end to this barbaric, bloody sport hunt,’’ Foy said in a release. Monday’s
announcement came two months after B.C.’s auditor general released a report calling on the province to develop a more robust wildlife management strategy for grizzlies. The report noted a lack of population monitoring and described habitat loss as the No. 1 threat facing the bears. The Opposition B.C. Liberals condemned the New Democrat government’s decision, which the Liberals said was prompted by pushback from environmentalists who are angry at a separate NDP decision to move forward with the Site C dam, a controversial hydroelectric megaproject in the province’s northeast. “It’s sad to see the NDP have abandoned scientific-based decision making in favour of political calculus designed to appease U.S.-based environ-
mental groups,’’ B.C. Liberal politicians John Rustad and Peter Milobar said in a statement. The repercussions for those who work in the hunting and guiding industry will be significant, said Scott Ellis, executive director of the Guide Outfitters Association of B.C. The government unfortunately looked to polls and engagement websites to make this decision, he said, noting some operators in rural B.C. will likely go out of business as a result of the ban. “Wildlife management is complex,’’ Ellis said. “And when emotions get involved, lots of times we don’t make the best decisions.’’ Donaldson reassured outfitters that the move to ban the hunt did not suggest government was eyeing prohibitions on other species.

Minister George Heyman cited research suggesting the economic impact of bear viewing is far greater than hunting, both for revenue and job creation. More information will be available in the spring budget outlining how much money the province’s conservation service would receive to enforce the new prohibition, he added. B.C. Green spokesman Adam Olsen commended the government’s decision, describing it as a breakthrough. “After years of work on this file, my colleagues and I are absolutely overjoyed this decision has finally been made,’’ Olsen said in a statement. “The results of the government’s consultation were clear and government has listened. We couldn’t be more thrilled.’’
Nine hurt in Coquihalla crash MERRITT — Nine people were injured after a series of collisions on the Coquihalla Highway south of Merritt as weather conditions deteriorated on the route. BC Emergency Health Services said three ambulances were sent to an incident near the Coldwater Road
exit on the highway. The service said three people were taken to hospital in stable condition, but no details were available on the other six said to be hurt or the number of vehicles involved. Southbound lanes were closed and delays were experienced by motorists in
both directions on the highway that connects the Inteior to the Lower Mainland. A travel advisory has been issued as harsh winter conditions, including snowfall and blowing snow, are expected on Tuesday on the highway between Merritt and Hope. — Canadian Press
Give her a ring this Christmas NANAIMO — Trinda Gajek was visiting Nanaimo last week when she stopped to ask a young man if he needed some help. The Salt Spring Island resident said she dumped the contents of her change purse
into her hand and gave the man all she had. It was only later she remembered her diamond ring was in her change purse for safekeeping.
Gajek reported the loss to the police, but said the young man received it honestly, with no question of criminal intent. She is hoping the ring her children helped her buy will be returned.

An Amtrak derailment occurred Monday morning south of Seattle. The train carried 77 passengers and seven crew members.

Derailment kills at least six ASSOCIATED PRESS
An Amtrak passenger train derailed Monday morning as it barreled toward an Interstate 5 overpass near Olympia, spilling train cars onto the freeway and killing at least six people, officials said. It’s unclear how fast the train was traveling, but it derailed at a curve where aerial images show all 12 rail cars and one of two engines jumped the tracks. One car was left dangling from the overpass. A passenger on the train, Chris Karnes, said they seemed to be travelling normally during the inaugural trip of a new higherspeed service intended to shave 10 minutes off the trip from Seattle to Portland. Then he felt the jolt. “It was a split second between that and being launched into the seats in front of us,” he said. The speed limit there is 30 m.p.h., a Washington State Department of Transportation spokes-
woman said. At some location before the overpass, the train had reportedly reached full speed of 79 m.p.h. In that stretch of track, a train engineer faces the challenge of decelerating in a short space, when approaching the curve and bypass, said John Hiatt, a longtime private investigator in train safety disputes. “A downward grade coming into that curve, you’ve got that working against you. You’ve got to make a pretty good estimate of how to get that down from 81 to 30,” Hiatt said of the track. “From what I’ve heard, there were several complaints by engineers about this.” The Associated Press, citing an unnamed U.S. official, reported that at least six people were killed in the crash. A person familiar with the response said first responders were still searching the wreckage scene for victims Monday afternoon and were unable to say with certainty how many fatalities
there are. He also said cranes were on their way to move the train car dangling over the freeway. Pierce County Sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer told news media that, in addition to casualties on the train, motorists had been injured, but not killed. Gov. Jay Inslee declared a state of emergency in response to the derailment. A total of 77 people were sent to hospitals in Pierce and Thurston counties, according to CHI Franciscan Health, which operates numerous hospitals in Western Washington. Four of the injured were said to be “level red” patients, with critical injuries. There were 77 passengers and seven crew members on the train when it derailed, officials said. The southbound lanes of Interstate 5 were completely

blocked by the train. The leading 13 cars of the 14-car train jumped the tracks and on the freeway five vehicles and two semis were damaged, according to the state patrol. Amtrak said it was train No. 501 on an inaugural run, which left Seattle for Portland at 6 a.m., that derailed. The train was running down a new bypass created to avoid slow curves and single track tunnels on the BNSF Railway main line tracks near Point Defiance and along southern Puget Sound. The project rerouted passenger trains to an inland route on an existing rail line that runs along the west side of I-5 through south Tacoma, Lakewood and DuPont and then reconnects back to the BNSF Railway main line near Nisqually on the east side of I-5.

TRU part of new university research pact JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Three universities are better than one. That’s the idea behind a new research partnership Thompson Rivers University has formed with the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) and the University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBCO). “Basically, what it looks like is not three universities, but one mega-university in the Interior,” TRU president Alan Shaver said. “Working together to address problems that are particularly suited to the Interior.” The Interior University Research Coalition (IURC) was announced at TRU on Friday morning, a partnership two years in the making. The idea was born from an initiative by TRU professor Lauchlan Fraser in recent years to collaborate with UNBC and UBCO researchers in applying for a Canada First Research Excellence Fund to establish a centre of excellency in ecosystem reclamation. That application was unsuccessful, but paved the way for the universities to share resources and collaborate on future research projects. “We realized, ‘Wow, this is powerful stuff,’” said Janice Larson, who will head the IURC office at UBCO. “Let’s keep doing it and let’s expand it to other research areas, as well.”
Representatives from all three universities were on hand for the announcement, rattling off multiple ways in which they will partner to facilitate opportunities for students, faculty and their communities. “There might be a piece of equipment at the Kelowna campus that might not be present in Kamloops or vice versa,” said Philip Barker, UBCO associate vice-president of research. “So, by creating a network that allows people to move really easily to access that equipment, we’re going to be able to do things we couldn’t do previously.” The universities are creating an inventory of equipment on campus, such as DNA sequencers, high-end microscopes, lasers and manufacturing equipment. “We have an electron microscope, for example, that is used perhaps two days a week,” said TRU associate vice-president of research and graduate studies Will Garrett-Petts. “So, five days a week, there’s an opportunity to use very high-end equipment that at the moment is lying idle because we were working separately.” Garrett-Petts said the partnership will also allow the universities to identify needs of the region as a whole. Mobile consumption sites are being utilized in both Kamloops and Kelowna, for example, creating an opportunity for comparative analysis with scope beyond the local level.
“We’re closer than other universities and we’re in dialogue with our communities,” he said. “So, being there at the surface of our communities and drawing upon friends to meet the challenges, that’s the kind of thing we’re going to do.” Larson was hired to facilitate the sharing of resources and seek out funding and additional partners. “I’ll be, in some way, acting as a bit of a quarterback for the research community across the three campuses,” Larson said. Her salary is shared between the universities, but she will be stationed at UBCO and use virtual communication to manage her duties from Kelowna. “I’m hoping to be able to come at least quarterly to the other campuses,” she said. “It will really depend on what particular opportunities and initiatives may arise.” While TRU expands its research potential, the province does not consider it among research universities in the B.C., meaning it receives less funding than institutions such as the University of British Columbia, which has faculty members who spend all their time on research. In 2013, then-minister of advanced education Amrik Virk told KTW the university should fund research in creative ways, such as finding partners, endowments and gifts.
It’s your money and our reputation. We take both seriously.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW June Butler speaks to RIH staff and members of the media on Friday, Dec. 15, to announce the family’s donation to Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, a pledge of $200,000 that will benefit the cardiology department and have a significant impact on patient care in the region. In 1978, June and Joe Butler and son, Glen, established Butler Auto and RV Centre, which operates on the North Shore.
Butler family donates $200K to RIH for cardiac care DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
June Butler and her family believe Royal Inland Hospital has “the best staff anywhere.” Fuelling that attitude is June’s own experience, one that had her praising Dr. Scott Hughes as she spoke to a crowd at the hospital on Friday morning. June said Hughes “dramatically changed her life overnight” on the surgical table. June told the group gathered
in the clinical-sciences building her family was talking about charitable options and her son Glen recommended the RIH Foundation. It felt right to them, June said, so she, husband Joe and Glen handed over a cheque for $200,000 to foundation CEO Heidi Coleman with no stipulations on how the money is spent, as long as it goes toward the cardiac-care side of health care. Dr. Kobus Steyn, head cardiologist at the hospital, said his
department had struggled a bit in recent years, calling the donation an “exciting building block” for the future. The money can be used for equipment, specialized training and any other aspect of providing heart care to patients in the region. Coleman said when she started with the foundation in July 2012, the department had one full-time and a half-time cardiologist. Since then, the department has grown, with four doctors joining the team.

TOYOTA PLANNING 10 PURELY ELECTRIC VEHICLES BY 2020S
Crash technology mandatory for new trucks, buses
YURI KAGEYAMA
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOKYO — Toyota plans to offer more than 10 purely electric vehicle models in its lineup by the early 2020s, marking the Japanese automaker’s commitment to that growing technology sector. Toyota Motor Corp. now offers no purely electric vehicles, although it leads in hybrid models, which switch between an electric motor and a gas engine. Executive VicePresident Shigeki Terashi said Monday that Toyota’s EVs will be first offered in China, a nation that’s encouraging electric vehicles with subsidies and other policies, and is expected to drive massive growth in that technology. Terashi said Toyota’s EVs will also later be offered in Japan, India, the U.S. and Europe. The company said that by about 2025, every model it sells will have some kind of “electrified’’ version, such as hybrid, electric or fuel-cell. Last week, Toyota announced it will set up a joint auto battery business with Japanese electronics maker Panasonic Corp. Terashi stressed the deal with Panasonic is “a crucial piece’’ in Toyota’s strategy, and that it wanted to promote a Japanese partnership.

NETCARSHOW.COM PHOTO Toyota has been known for its hybrid vehicle the Prius for years, but will now expand into purely electric vehicles in partnership with Panasonic. Advances in battery technology are vital for the success of EVs.
Advances in battery technology are vital for the success of EVs. A major shift toward their use would require more use and recycling of the rare and expensive materials used in batteries, such as lithium. Toyota announced other goals on green vehicles. By about 2030,
it hopes to sell 5.5-million electrified vehicles a year. Toyota sells about 10-million vehicles globally a year. The company said it will invest 1.5-trillion yen (CDN $17 billion) to realize its 2030 goal, more than half of it on making batteries. Other automakers,
including Nissan Motor Co., Volkswagen AG and Honda Motor Co., offer or are working on electric vehicles. That means competition among battery makers is heating up. It is unclear whether Panasonic will emerge the victor in the race. Toyota has generally

sought to develop key technologies inhouse, rather than purchasing them from outsiders. That includes knowhow for computer chips and robotics, which are also expected to be pillars of growth for the auto sector in coming years.
OTTAWA — New trucks and buses sold in Canada will have to include crash-avoidance technology under newly approved federal regulations. Electronic stability control technology on school and heavy buses will become mandatory in June as governments aim to reduce collisions and prevent rollovers. The crash avoidance systems will now be required on all new truck tractors, just as they have been since 2011 on cars and lightduty vehicles sold in Canada and the United States. Transport Minister Marc Garneau says the new measures unveiled today should not only make trucks and buses safer, but also have a trickle-down effect of making the roads safer as well. Transport Canada research shows that these systems can reduce by 29 per cent crashes where a light-duty vehicle loses control, preventing hundreds of injuries and deaths. Similar research in the United States suggests that electronic stability control systems could prevent 35 per cent of single-vehicle collisions. Garneau says trucks and buses will also be required by 2020 to have electronic logging devices so commercial truck and bus drivers don’t spend too much time behind the wheel, risking driver fatigue. Any similar devices already in use will have be replaced by 2022 with equipment that meets new safety code technical standards.

searches for luxury and high-performance vehicles over the practical people movers of years’ past. Featuring hundreds of thousands of new and used vehicles for sale, Canada’s largest and most comprehensive automotive marketplace released their annual list of findings today, driven by data collected and analyzed from the site. While the top four vehicle searches in Canada for 2017 remained unchanged from the year prior, movement in the lower ranks of the Top 10 saw searches for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and BMW M models increase. Searches for the Porsche 911 also continued to climb the charts despite being a lower volume production model. In a true-to-form Canadian show of consistency and predictability, the Ford F-150 unsurprisingly took the top spot for the third consecutive year, continuing its reign as both the most searched and highest-selling vehicle in Canada. “This year’s search data demonstrates an appetite for more premium vehicles than previous years,” said Michael Bettencourt, managing editor of autoTRADER.ca. “With a stronger economy comes increased consumer confidence, so it makes sense that Canadian car shoppers may be considering more upscale brands.” In fact, a Statistics Canada Labour Force Survey shows the unemployment rate declined to 5.9 per cent in November of 2017, the lowest rate since February of 2008 and well below market expectations as the economy recently added some 80,000 jobs. And according to DesRosiers Automotive
MOST SEARCHED VEHICLE MODELS IN CANADA 1) Ford F-150 2) Ford Mustang 3) BMW 3-Series 4) Honda Civic 5) Jeep Wrangler 6) Porsche 911 7) Mercedes-Benz C-Class 8) Chevrolet Corvette 9) Honda Accord 10) BMW M Consultants November 2017 AutoWatch2 vehicle sales report, Canadians aren’t just kicking the tires of premium performance vehicles — they’re putting their money where their mouths are. Luxury marques may be produced in lower volumes than that of their more mainstream counterparts, but the top four companies with the most significant percentage increases in Canadian sales over the last calendar year were luxury brands. autoTRADER.ca collects and analyzes search data from each province and territory and while vehicle searches across the country were remarkably similar, the order did vary across regions. The Ford F-150 took the fourth spot in Quebec, whereas it was consistently top three in every other province. The Ford Mustang was the first choice in New Brunswick and Newfoundland, contributing to its national number two placement. While heavyduty trucks like the Ford F-250 and F-350 made the list in Newfoundland, Nunavut, B.C., Alberta and the Yukon, they did not make the national Top 10.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW
GREASY GOAL
Kamloops Storm forward Hayden Dick (10) worked to get the puck past Sicamous Eagles goalie Koltin Dodge on a first-period power play to give the host Storm a 1-0 lead in KIJHL action at Memorial Arena on Saturday. Kamloops went on the beat the Eagles 5-2, following that up with a 6-3 win in Sicamous on Sunday. The also tied Revelstoke 2-2 on Friday. With a record of 12-18-2, the Storm sit fourth in the five-team Doug Birks Division. The team is now on Christmas break, with its next game slated for New Year’s Eve in Revelstoke against the division-leading Grizzlies.
Winter is Here!
The Kamloops Blazers managed seven of a possible 12 points on a 10-day road trip through the Western Hockey League’s East Division, but they’re still a game under .500 heading into the Christmas break. The Blazers are 16-17-0-1 after going 3-2-1 in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The road trip began with a 6-5 shootout loss to Prince Albert on Dec. 8 and wrapped up on Saturday with a 3-1 loss to Swift Current. The club also lost in Brandon. The Blue and Orange did manage to find the win column in games against Saskatoon, Moose Jaw and league-leading Regina. The Blazers are fourth in the WHL’s five-team B.C. Division — seven points back of third-place Kelowna — and sit third in the wildcard standings. Heading into the break, forward Garrett Pilon is leading the Blazers in goals (17), assists (23) and points (40). D-man Andrej Vala and forward Justin Sigrist are competing for World Junior Hockey Championship roster spots for the Czech Republic and Switzerland, respectively. The tournament gets underway Boxing Day in Buffalo, and Blazers’ video coach Tim O’Donovan is working with Team Canada. Players are off until Christmas Day. The Blazers are back in action on Dec. 27 in Kelowna.

Quesnel resubmits bid for expansion team in KIJHL Would-be ownership group was unsuccessful in similar bid for northern Cariboo expansion last season TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
An expansion bid has once again been filed with the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League looking to land a team in Quesnel. Matt Kolle, currently serving as the Kamloops Storm’s assistant general manager, is behind the renewed push for a team in the city of 10,000 people 400 kilometres north of Kamloops.
Kolle, who splits his time between Kamloops and Quesnel, was also behind a failed bid to land a team in the Cariboo city last year. He told KTW he is hoping to have more success this time around. “This year, through the procedure, we definitely stirred up a variety of different interests, including some phone calls with some other owners,” he said. “It showed there was a taste for
a team in Quesnel.” The Storm are playing six home games in Quesnel to support Kolle’s bid. He said the games played there so far have been well attended. “It’s been great,” he said. “We’ve had huge crowds — bigger than other teams in the league.” One major sticking point in Kolle’s previous bid was travel expenses. Quesnel would be the northernmost team in the
20-club league — 200 kilometres north of the closest team in 100 Mile House. “I think that happens at ever corner of the league,” he said, noting his new bid includes an offer to subsidize hotels for visiting teams. Quesnel has been without junior hockey since the B.C. Hockey League’s Quesnel Millionaires moved to Chilliwack in 2011. The KIJHL’s membership com-

mittee expects to have a report for owners by Dec. 31. League commissioner Bill Ohlhausen said he expects a decision to be made at a league meeting on Jan. 14. Ohlhausen wouldn’t speculate on the outcome of Kolle’s bid, nor would he offer his opinion on expansion. “The membership is the one that makes that decision,” he said. “I have no comment because it’s not me that decides.”
CFL
Leos name former Esks’ executive new club president THE CANADIAN PRESS
SURREY —The B.C. Lions named Rich LeLacheur as the CFL’s club new president on Monday. LeLacheur was the president and CEO of the Edmonton Eskimos from 2002 to 2011. He will start his new job in January. The role has been vacant since Dennis Skulsky stepped aside as Lions president and CEO in April 2016. “I am extremely pleased that Rick has accepted this critically important role with the Lions,’’ team owner David Braley said in a statement. “I have a great deal of respect for what he has accomplished both in private business as well as during his time in the CFL. I know he will be a tremendous asset to our organization and help guide it to new heights.’’ LeLacheur, who is currently chairman of the board of Horse Racing Alberta, joins the Lions as the 30th president in franchise history at a critical time. Attendance has dipped dramatically in recent years and Braley has been looking to sell the club. “I am honoured and excited to be part of this historic and respected organization,’’ LeLacheur said in the statement. “The B.C. Lions have been an integral part of the Canadian sports landscape for more than six decades and there are tremendous opportunities for it to experience unprecedented growth. “I know the passion David has for this team and this community and I’m grateful for the confidence and trust he has placed in me. I can’t wait to get started.’’ An Edmonton native, LeLacheur’s addition is just the latest connection to the Eskimos for the Lions. B.C. hired former Eskimos player and executive Ed Hervey as its GM last month, while former assistant coach Jarious Jackson was named the club’s new offensive co-ordinator last week. The Lions finished the 2017 CFL season with seven wins and 11 losses, which landed the club in the basement of the league’s Western Division. The Leos’ training camp is slated to get underway at Hillside Stadium in Kamloops on May 20.

Seahawks miss out on chance to take division lead in blowout TIM BOOTH
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Pete Carroll was short and curt and felt no need to try and provide explanations for the most lopsided loss in his Seattle Seahawks tenure other than the most obvious. “No, there is nothing to be happy about. That was a really dismal performance by us,’’ Carroll said. With a chance to take the division lead and have control over their playoff fate, the most important game of the season became a one-sided embarrass-
ment the Seahawks were left to explain after a 42-7 pummeling at the hands of the Los Angeles Rams. Instead of Seattle overcoming its long list of injuries and putting forth the same kind of effort as two weeks ago when it knocked off Philadelphia, the Seahawks were completely overmatched against their division rival and for at least this season appear to have been knocked off the pedestal atop the NFC West. The Seahawks weren’t simply beaten. They were outclassed, out-
coached, out-everything. The Rams led 34-0 at halftime and 40-0 midway through the third quarter. There was no point where it seemed the Seahawks were even going to threaten the Rams and that might be most troublesome of all for a team that has prided itself on the ability to compete to the final second. “Today is not a representation of us,’’ safety Bradley McDougald said. “It was embarrassing and humbling. I don’t think anything that happened today is going to carry over to next week.’’

Obituaries & In Memoriam Signe Mariana Haller (nee Widen) March 21, 1926 - December 9, 2017
It is with deep sadness we announce the peaceful passing of our mother Signe Mariana Haller on December 9, 2017 at the age of 91 years. Mom, one of six children, was born in Houston, BC to Emil and Ellen Widen. Mom was predeceased by the love of her life her husband Henry Haller in 2003 and her special son-in-law Bob Davoren in 2017. Sadly her son Raymond has passed to join her on December 15, 2017. She leaves to cherish her wonderful memory and very full life, four children, Peggy Davoren of Kamloops, Jude Flaman of Prince George, Lola (Dan) Larocque of Prince George, Lyla (Gene) Hornby of Kamloops, many special grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her sister Maryellen Schon of Prince George and daughterin-law Karen Haller of Champion, AB. Mom spent her early years being raised in her beloved Bulkley Valley embracing a busy hardworking life as a farm girl. Early on, she learned the value of hard work and her strong determination speaks to the proof that she could put her hand to anything and succeed. After graduation, she spread her wings and moved south to Kamloops where she met our dad Henry Haller. A match made in heaven, they married in 1945 and spent 57 wonderful years together. Mom worked many jobs in her early years while raising a family. She moved from Kamloops to Prince George in 1969 and retired as a bookkeeper in the early 80s from Woolco. She loved music, played six or more instruments well and mom and dad spent many seasons playing in a country band at various dance halls in the Interior. She was a member of the Moose Lodge Ladies and loved bowling and crocheting.
Hatty Silzer (nee Menzel)
After retirement, mom and dad spent many healthy years doing what she loved best. Camping at Cluculz Lake, fishing, hunting and travelling to visit friends and family became the norm. She especially loved her yearly trips to Reno with daughter Peggy and son-in-law Bob.
On December 9, 2017, Hatty Silzer (nee Menzel) passed away peacefully in her 87th year.
Mom’s love of family and friends is legendary, she was quick to help anyone who needed it and was clearly jaw dropping with her quick wit and sense of humor. Mom always had an extra plate at the table for anyone who needed it. Growing up as children, we had many occasions to have other children live with us whom mom cared for lovingly as her own. Mervin S. always held a special place in her heart. Health issues over the past number of years prevented mom from going very far. Daughter Jude selflessly moved in with mom to help and care for her in every way. Earlier this year mom was not able to stay at home and moved to Simon Fraser Lodge in Prince George. Thank you to the wonderful staff for the love and support she received in the months she spent at the lodge. Thank you to her wonderful support group of friends who visited often and brought her gifts of kindness. Words are not enough to express our sincere thanks to Dr. M. Nadeem for his special care and concern of our mom. He has a special place in our heart. There will be no service at mom’s request. She and dad will be laid to rest in Kamloops Hillside Cemetery in the spring. Cremation arrangements entrusted to Prince George Funeral Home
Hatty was a beautiful spirit and will be dearly missed. She leaves a lasting legacy of heart-warming memories for her family. Hatty was born on May 29, 1930 in Englefeld, Saskatchewan and raised on a farm in nearby Watson. She married John Otto Silzer in 1950 and moved to BC, where the lived in Vancouver, Kamloops, Sechelt and Quesnel. After John’s pasing in 2014, Hatty returned to Kamloops to be closer to family. Predeceased by her mother, father, husband John, bothers George, Gary and sister Lizzie. She is survived by her five children Susan (Bob) Boose, Diane (Jim) Foster, Jack (Joanne) Silzer, Gail (Mickey) Holicza, Sandra (Roy) Cowan, fourteen grandchildren, twenty greatgrandchildren and sister Kay. Hatty’s family was her greatest source of pride and joy and she appreciated the uniqueness of each one of them.

Geraldine Fenderson McDonald Geraldine McDonald (Reid) died at home in Vancouver on Saturday, December 2, 2017 in the presence of family. Hers was a peaceful end to a life well and fully lived. Born at home during harvest of 1922 on the family farm near Cardale, Manitoba, Geraldine moved to Minnedosa, MB in 1929 to begin school. She was awarded the Governor General’s medal for academic excellence upon graduation, but she went to work as a bank teller, rather than university, to contribute to her family affected by the Depression. In 1942, Geraldine joined the Royal Canadian Airforce and served until the end of the war in the RCAF Records Office located in Harrod’s Store in London, England. Despite regular bombing from aircraft and later V1 and V2 rockets, Geraldine enjoyed evenings of dancing in the many service clubs in London as well as travel to Wales, Ireland and Scotland during occasional leaves. These were defining years and, admittedly, the happiest and most exciting of her life. In July of 1945, Geraldine married her childhood friend from Minnedosa Dennis McDonald, Army Lieutenant at St. Saviours’ Church in London. They returned to Canada, Dennis enrolled in the UBC Faculty of Forestry, supported by Geraldine’s work as a bank teller. During Dennis’ career-related moves throughout BC, three children were born and Geraldine began her commitment to lifelong learning through correspondence courses, guided study groups and self-directed reading. Her parents bought Geraldine a new Austin Mini to

support her independence. Geraldine attended a full year at the University of Victoria in 1966-67 and the following year began her 20-year teaching career, with an enviable 45 years of life experience, in elementary schools in Kamloops. At age 57 Geraldine received her B. Ed. from UBC. Geraldine and Dennis separated after 31 years and Geraldine embarked on years of world travel with Roads Scholar Education, visiting many countries on several continents. However, Geraldine’s favourite vacation was always the two months she spent, for 53 summers at her cabin on Lake Okanagan. Geraldine owned the first windsurfer on that large lake, was a formidable swimmer (crossing the entire lake on one occasion) and got around on her JetSki. In the winters, Geraldine downhill skied until all her friends retired from the sport. She was dedicated to exercise, nutrition and self-care. She enjoyed Scrabble, learned to play Bridge long after retirement, enjoyed and supported local theatre and continued as a volunteer at schools providing help to students with additional needs. She learned to sail and was at the helm of a 30foot sloop on her 93rd birthday. Geraldine is missed by her brother John Arthur Reid, her children Pamela, Priscilla and Richard, their children and grandchildren and the many members of her extended family and friends. At Geraldine’s request, there will be no service.

IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES
If I knew it would be the last time That I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly And pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
But just in case I might be wrong, And today is all I get, I’d like to say how much I love you And I hope we never forget.
If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss And call you back for one more.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, Young or old alike, And today may be the last chance You get to hold your loved one tight.
If I knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.
So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, Why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, You’ll surely regret the day,
If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute To stop and say “I love you,” Instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
That you didn’t take that extra time For a smile, a hug, or a kiss And you were too busy to grant someone, What turned out to be their one last wish.
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.
So hold your loved ones close today, And whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them And that you’ll always hold them dear
For surely there’s always tomorrow To make up for an oversight, And we always get a second chance To make everything just right.
Take time to say “I’m sorry,” “Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” or “It’s okay.” And if tomorrow never comes, You’ll have no regrets about today. © Norma Cornett Marek ~ 1989
There will always be another day To say “I love you,” And certainly there’s another chance To say our “Anything I can do?”

Scorpio, friendships go well for you during the next few days, so look to companions to provide the support you seek. Don’t worry about future plans just yet.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 2
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Participating in some spontaneous activities will add some spice to your life, Gemini. Explore those things that you wouldn’t normally think to try.
Cancer, if you put things into perspective the emotional strain and tension in your world can be dramatically reduced. Focus on the things that are working out well for you.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
Leo, even though people around you may be bearing down, you are able to think on your feet and come through the situation.You’ll rebound stronger than ever.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
This is a great week for you,Virgo.You may feel like you can exercise more freedom at work or in your personal life, and overcome any obstacles that are holding you back.
Lessons come in all shapes and sizes, Sagittarius, so open your eyes to all possibilities. Don’t feel you need to make sense of every little thing. Just be aware of your surroundings.
There are some unexpected surprises coming your way, Capricorn. But don’t worry too much about them. Simply go with the flow and everything will fall into place.
MATH MIND
BENDER
PUZZLE ERRORS
Somehow, last week’s puzzle did not appear in KTW; an older puzzle appeared instead. In any given week, what are the chances of an error in the Math Mindbender? KTW staff might err or I might err. Let us assume that 80% of the time, the editor (Christopher Foulds) passes along my submission and makes sure it is understood. In this case, there is a 0.05% chance an error will be made. The other 20% of the time, he is busy on breaking news and simply passes my submission along, in which case there is a 0.2% chance of an error. With me, there is a greater risk, say 0.3%, that I will make an error. To the nearest 0.1%, what is the chance that, any given week, a correct puzzle will appear correctly? (Note: These chances for error are probably quite a bit higher than reality, but what would be the fun in an answer of 100% or even 99.9%?)
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Aquarius, life may seem as if you were driving on a multi-lane highway and then all the lanes merge into one.Veer off your usual path for a while to get away from it all.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Pisces, if you can learn to distance yourself from the emotional side of situations and focus on the practical, it will be smooth sailing this week.

Aries, if the ends don’t justify the means, then pause and wait for a better plan and opportunity. It’s not worth the risk or effort to get yourself involved in such a situation.
