DAY K A M L O O P S
THIS WEEKThompson River Publications Partnership Ltd.
The Kamloops Daily News is closing.
After more than 80 years of publishing in Kamloops, the newspa-per will cease operations within the next 60 days.
On Monday, Jan. 6, Glacier Media, parent company of the Daily News, served notice under Section 54 of the BC Labour Code to Unifor, representing unionized staff at the newspaper.
In an interview with KTW, Daily News pub-lisher Tim Shoults reiter-ated the point made in the original press release announcing the closure — it is economic.
“This was certainly not our first option by any stretch of the imagi-nation,” Shoults said, noting efforts to save the paper from closure sim-ply could not be realized.
When asked if there were options other than closure and whether there were any parties inter-ested in buying the news-paper, Shoults said he could not speak on that issue as Glacier Media and the union are still in negotiations on how and when the Daily News
will be shuttered.Shoults said 43 full-
time and 12 part-time employees will lose their jobs, in addition to a number of drivers and carriers.
He said employees will receive counselling as needed and have been told they will be consid-
ered for jobs that open in other Glacier-owned newspapers.
Charles Hays, a journalism professor at Thompson Rivers University, said the clo-sure is symptomatic of changes in the industry.
“And the Daily has done a lot of things, so
we hear, to try and keep up, but they haven’t man-aged to find that magic formula.”
Hays said the circula-tion dropping to about 12,500 was a harbinger of the future.
“With one paper in eight or one paper in nine people going out in
the broader Kamloops region, to have fewer than 13,000 copies going out to 100,000 people, you can’t survive on that.”
Hays noted the Daily News’ online presence had improved through the years.
But, he said, to have
a chance at success, a newspaper “has to have a strong multimedia pres-ence. They need to keep it up every day. They need to know the news cycle is shrunk. They need to put up video and audio and links. It takes a lot more work.”
Those skills are the
ones his faculty is teach-ing its students, Hays said, noting when he graduated, “I could write a story — on a manual typewriter — and knew my way around a dark room a bit.”
Today’s students are learning to write and do layout, but are also learn-ing about audio, video, photography and social media.
With graduates now working for the Kamloops Daily News, Alan Bass, a journalism instructor at Thompson Rivers University, said he is sad to see them lose their jobs.
However, he added, a newspaper closure is not unusual anymore.
“It’s a brutal eco-nomic environment for newspapers now and it’s hard to compete in Kamloops.”
While some may question why universities continue to educate stu-dents to enter journalism, Bass said there is still a need for them.
“The world of news is morphing, evolving, changing into something else,” he said.

WHO IS SERVED BY THE FOOD BANK?
By Dale BassSTAFF [email protected]
It was a simple question that Jeff Arnold posed to Bernadette Siracky.
“What do you really need?” he asked her as they spoke about the volunteering he and others at his company, A&T Project Development, had done at the Kamloops Food Bank.
“So, I looked at him and said,‘Well, we need a new building.’ And then I laughed. I had no idea who he was,” said Siracky, executive director of the Wilson Street agency in North Kamloops.
That was in 2011, two years after the death of one of the agency’s most-dedicated volunteers.
Gaile Noble, a former social worker and profes-sor at Thompson Rivers University, left the food bank $100,000 in her will, money that was set aside with the goal of some day creating a new building.
This week, Siracky, Arnold and many of those volunteers will celebrate that new building, one Siracky describes as respectful, calm and orga-nized.
It’s also much larger than the old building, which once housed forestry consultants upstairs and a small manufacturing business below before
the food bank moved to in 2002, after having been housed in a variety of locations downtown since its creation in 1981.
While Noble’s bequest kickstarted the cam-paign, there were others who contributed, organiza-tions like the Stollery Foundation and local Rotary clubs, the more than 50 businesses that helped with the new construction and even a man no one at the agency knew.
“I was in my office at Mike Funk’s [electrical company, which provided office space during the renovation] and a man from Langley called. He said he was the executor for a friend in Kamloops who had died, Bob Noiles, who left us $20,000,” Siracky said.
“That’s why I call this place a miracle.”The actual construction saw the original build-
ing extended out over the former parking lot to create a new loading dock, warehouse and sorting area. It was designed to make work easier for the team of volunteers that supplements food-bank staff to keep the operation humming — from unloading donations to packing them up to creating hampers to distributing those bundles of food to the clients who line up every morning.

Siracky said Arnold made it clear to all who were involved in the new building “that this is the food bank and he expected them to give something. That probably saved us $300,000 and A&T charged nothing, so that was probably another $100,000.”
The building has a mortgage, however, one that is nowhere near as large as it might have been had Arnold not asked that question.
“I call him the dot connector,” Siracky said of Arnold, who also took on the job of president of the board.
“He just got it all done. I remember, toward the beginning, I said to him, ‘I didn’t realize how much time this was going to be on you’ and he looked at me and just said, ‘Well, I did.’”
While the work proceeded, staff and volunteers worked out of trailers on property the food bank owns across the road, getting everything done “in the cold and in the heat and in cramped quarters. Our volunteers keep blowing my mind,” Siracky said.
Office space was provided in the former John Tod elementary for a while, until that space was required. That’s when Funk stepped up to offer his help.
Siracky said she was grateful she could be as involved in the project as she was, talking with architects and others.
“I even learned how to build a retaining wall,” she said. “And, when it [the project] was almost done, I said to Kelly Murphy [A&T project man-ager], ‘Who you gonna roll your eyes at now?’ because I’d want to learn something and he’d just roll his eyes and then show me.”
This week, the warehouse is full, thanks to another successful Christmas campaign, but the food will soon be gone, Siracky said.
The city’s Rotary clubs organize and run two city-wide food drives each year to keep those shelves filled so they don’t have to turn anyone away, as other food banks in the country do.
Siracky sees the agency and all food banks as a necessity as long as poverty exists and is proud of the work that has been done through the years in Kamloops to create an environment that provides something more than a meal to those who need help.
“Until you’re here, you think it’s just a food line where we hand it out to people,” she said. “But, once you’re here, you see the opportunities it gives to people. It has the hope piece, the respect piece.
“It is joyful, it is meaningful and it is humbling.”

THE NUMBERS GAME
Fewer people used the Kamloops Food Bank in 2013 — but the Wilson Street agency still saw more than 6,000 clients. Of that number, 608 were pre-schoolers, the lowest number in the past five years.

Most Kamloops-area homeowners won’t see major changes in the values of their homes when BC Assessment letters hit mailboxes.
Graham Held, deputy assessor for the region, said most properties will see their value increase or decrease by no more than five per cent from last year’s num-ber.
That’s considered a stable fluctuation, Held said, and is in line with what the city experienced last year.
It’s well below the fluctuations in the northwest area of the province, where hom-eowners, particularly those in the Kitimat area, can expect to see
values jump by 25 per cent or more.
“What was inter-esting is we actu-ally saw sales volume increase in the City of Kamloops,” Held said.
“The last time I checked, it was a seven per cent increase in sales and it’ll probably end up being higher than that because we’re still getting some fourth-quarter sales that are trickling in,” he said.
“That was interest-ing because it does speak to the strength of the economy here and in the region.”
Held said that’s not the only sign of economic strength BC Assessment is seeing in the city.
Construction value — which is based on actual construction rather than building
permits — while down overall, was up for residential properties.
The city added $141 million in new residential construc-tion to its assessment roll, which rose over-all to $14.1 billion from $13.88 billion.
The Westmount and Batchelor Heights areas saw the biggest jump in average valua-tion this year.
The average home in the neighbour-hood is assessed at $354,340 — $9,248 over last year.
Valleyview was a close second, with the assessed value of an average home in the neighbourhood rising by $9,165.
Valleyview also had the highest average assessed home value, at $479,584.
Homeowners
who want to appeal their assessment have until Jan. 31 to submit a notice of complaint either at BC Assessment’s Kamloops office at 805 Renfrew Ave., by calling 1-866-825-8322 or online at bcassessment.ca.
THE PRICIEST HOMES . . .
Sun Peaks once again dominates the top of the tax roll in the Kamloops region, with eight of the 10 highest-valued proper-ties in the Thompson-Cariboo located in the ski resort.
In the City of Kamloops, a home in Aberdeen stands atop the residential moun-tain, with properties in Juniper Ridge, down-town, Barnhartvale and Valleyview also showing up high on the BC Assessment tax roll.
The highest-assessed property in the Thompson-Cariboo region, at $3.54 million, is at 4141 Douglas Ct. in Sun Peaks.
That is followed by other homes in the village — 4250 Bella Vista Dr. ($2.71 mil-lion), 4137 Douglas Ct. ($2.61 million), 4117 Sundance Ct. ($2.31 million) and 4127 Sundance Dr. ($2.17 million).
Douglas Court appears in the top 10 three times.
In the City of Kamloops, the home at 1490 Westerdale Dr. in Aberdeen is valued at $1.83 million, making it the highest-assessed residential property in the city.
Right behind the Westerdale address are 1300 Finlay Ave. in Juniper Ridge ($1.63 million), 3080 Kicking
Horse Dr. in Juniper Ridge ($1.61 million), 850 Lorne St. in the downtown core ($1.61 million) and 6352 Meadowland Cresc. S. in Barnhartvale ($1.58 million).
None of the region’s homes made
B.C. Assessment’s list of the top 500 most valuable properties in the province, however.
The least-valuable home on that list — 3150 Travers Ave. in West Vancouver — is still worth almost $7.5 million.
The province’s most expensive home, located at 3085 Point Grey Rd. in Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighbourhood and owned by Lululemon founder Chip Wilson, is assessed at $54 mil-lion.

After issuing more than $200 million in building permits in 2012 for only the third time in a decade, the City of Kamloops fell short of its building per-mit estimates for 2013 by about $20 million.
According to sta-tistics from the depart-ment of development and engineering ser-vices, the city issued $149 million in permits, falling short of the $160 million it predicted it would dole out by the year’s end.
Direction of devel-opment and engineer-ing services Marvin Kwiatkowski said the shortfall comes because his department expected to see some building permits issues for the Royal Inland Hospital’s new clinical-services building before the end of the year.
“I think we got only the site works, which is a small amount,” he said.
“We budgeted for, like, $30 million in 2013 and some in 2014. We’re fairly close to the target without the hos-pital project.”
Because that $30 million is still in the queue, Kwiatkowski said the city is revis-ing its estimates up for 2014.
He expects about $180 million in permits will go out this year.
Much of the drop-off in permit value from 2012 to 2013 comes from the commercial sector.
While 2012 brought plenty of big-ticket projects, including a Telus data centre and the conversion of Sahali Centre Mall’s Zellers location into Target, projects in 2013 tended to be on a smaller scale.
The city doled out
143 commercial, indus-trial and institutional permits in total, worth $51.6 million, com-pared to $114.2 million in 2012.
On the residential side, the city actu-ally saw more activity — but not enough to bridge the gap.
In 2013, 516 permits worth a total of $89.9 million were issues.
In 2012, there were 508 permits worth $78.1 million.
A big jump in the number of multi-family units helped grow that number.
While the city issued permits for 166 units of multi-family housing in 2012, that number rose
to 312 in 2013. Kwiatkowski said
that helped the city exceed its predictions for residential units for the year.
It had expected to issue permits for 425 units — already up from 2012 354 units — and instead gave out 503 units worth.
Kwiatkowski said more multi-family builds are on the way this year.
Among them is the $9-million United Church Vision 429 project, which will add 56 units of affordable purchase housing to the downtown and another 45-unit development on McGill Rd.

Kamloops mur-ders were down in 2013 compared to the previous year — but, according to local Mounties, the numbers don’t mean a whole lot.
“The numbers are so low that you can’t really draw any conclu-sions or inferences,” Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned told KTW.
“You can’t start
using percentages or anything like that because it totally skews the perception.”
Three homicides were recorded in Kamloops in 2013, Learned said, down from six in 2012.
But, he said, call-ing it a 50 per cent decrease would be mis-leading given the low figures.
“It is, at face value, just the straight num-bers,” Learned said, using as an example a small community that records one murder
one year and two the next — representing a 100 per cent increase on paper, but only a slight one in reality.
“It’s much more informative in these cases to just look at the numbers,” said.
Learned said Kamloops police are also noting a change in the circumstances of murders they inves-tigate.
“The types of homi-cides we have been experiencing here are the ones that are situ-ational,” he said.
“It’s usually been the result of a con-frontation between two people who have a close relationship that erupts and gets out of hand.”
Learned said such altercations are often impossible to antici-pate and, therefore, prevention is tough for police.
“They’re often alco-hol-fuelled or they’re things where, if not for a couple of factors, they never would have taken place,” Learned said.

COVER PAGE STORY
“And our graduates can go into new fields — com-munications, public relations, social media, many options. As a journalism professor, I have my eye on preparing students for these new opportunities.”
Kamloops Chamber of Commerce president Bob Dieno said the paper’s closure is “a pretty big thing,” but acknowledged local businesses have other and bet-ter advertising options.
“Twenty years ago, there were two options — radio and newspaper,” he said. “But, I get three or four emails regularly from different publications — maga-zines, radio, online — options that are targeted to dif-ferent markets.”
In his own business, Nu-Tech Fire and Safety, Dieno rarely advertises in the newspaper.
“And Kamloops Daily News had no web presence, so we haven’t been able to use that as an advertising tool.”
Kamloops This Week publisher Kelly Hall was sur-prised to learn of the closure.
“It was very surprising to hear of the impending closure of a great competitor in the Kamloops Daily News. Media in general are challenged on a daily basis. You have to look closely at your business model and you have to move quickly when you are faced with challenges,” Hall said.
“The Daily News has been a strong community partner and will be missed. I feel for the employees and their families as they go through this sad time.
“Over the years, we have been very competitive in all aspects of gathering news and providing a viable option for readers and advertisers. You will continue to see Kamloops This Week grow along with our com-munity.”
Kamloops Coun, Pat Wallace has been a Kamloops Daily News reader since the paper was a twice-a-week publication on the North Shore.
“I know newspapers across Canada are suffering,” Wallace said.
“People are using their computers far more, even to read the paper. I buy my paper and I’ve never gone online. I buy it because, to my mind, it’s to support the community you live in.
“But, not everyone feels that way and I’m sorry for the people that are losing their jobs. That’s got to be a real kick — especially in a smaller-sized town.”
Wallace said she liked the Daily News’ mix of hard news with smaller pieces that might focus on non-profit groups or family stories.
“I hate to see a paper fold. I hate the negative mes-sage it sends and I hate the thought of people losing their jobs,” Wallace said.
“I can honestly say I’m going to miss this paper.”

Turning the page on a new year
Publisher: Kelly [email protected]: Christopher [email protected]
K A M L O O P S THIS WEEKVIEWPOINT
A new year brings a fresh start for everyone, even politi-cians.
Apparently, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is looking for better times ahead as he has already filed his papers for this year’s municipal elections.
Now there’s a guy who obvi-ously believes that the turning of the calendar constitutes a fresh start for everybody.
Who knows when it comes to the beleaguered mayor of Canada’s largest city? Many
would have wagered he would not have lasted this long, so all bets are off.
Luckily, that circus carries on daily thousands of miles away, but we in B.C. also will go to the polls to elect municipal rep-resentatives this year.
The most accountable, most reachable, many would say, the most important level of govern-ment (not to mention lowest paid with no retirement ben-efits) will be decided by resi-dents come November.
Although the Toronto mayor jumped the gun, as usual, to grab the spotlight last week, those who guide us municipally will soon have to make a deci-sion on whether to continue to serve their constituents to the best of their ability or make room for some fresh faces.
We’re sure the lobbying for people to jump into the lime-light that is civic politics has already begun in coffee shops and living rooms throughout B.C. and we encourage all to participate in the democratic process that will help write the chapter called 2014.
However, unlike Ford, do your homework, take your time and consider all the factors involved in contributing to your community.
And Happy New Year.
— Vernon Morning Star
May staffers at Daily News start the presses once againI OFTEN JOKE THAT BEING
in the newspaper business in this Internet age is akin to managing a horse-and-buggy shop while some
guy named Ford is opening something called an automobile-assembly line down the street.
It’s good for a chuckle and it’s true — too true, as the 50-plus employees of the Kamloops Daily News found out this week.
Glacier Media, which owns the Daily News and a host of other newspa-pers across Western Canada, is shutter-ing the paper that has served Kamloops for 83 years.
The doors to the grand building at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue will close within the next two months, leav-ing this city of about 90,000 without a daily newspaper.
There are myriad books, essays and blogs that argue the Internet is, in fact, not the blame for the demise of newspapers and that the Internet has, instead, heralded a golden age of jour-nalism, with offerings of incomparable depth and variety.
I would look at the Internet, at free classifieds sites like Craigslist, at blogs that steal from news websites and pass on stories as their own, at the failure of anybody to realize a profit from advertising online as has been real-ized in print — and I would point to the Internet as a major culprit in the death of some papers and the critical condition in which many others find themselves.
The growth of the Internet, with Twitter, Facebook and the latest trendy social-media sites spreading point-form news across the globe at a dizzying
pace, has indeed affected the old ink-and-paper publications.
So, too, did the global economic collapse of 2008, with paid-circulation dailies suffering the most.
When the Tucson Citizen, Rocky Mountain News and Seattle Post-Intelligencer closed shortly after the recession began, it was sobering news.
When the Kamloops Daily News announced it will stop publishing, it was like a hard punch to deepest recesses of my gut.
Newspapers are things. They chart history and become tangible vessels that care for that history. They can evoke more emotions than a good movie and are expert, honest-to-good-ness time machines.
But, in the end, newspapers, and the buildings they call home, and the computers used to create them, are just things.
Inside those newspaper buildings — be it that great structure in Seattle with the PI’s famous globe standing watch atop the roof or the Daily News edifice downtown that will forever make me think of the iconic Hudson’s Bay Company — are the flesh and blood and minds of the people who create these
beautiful time capsules, day after day.Buildings can be sold.Presses can be dismantled and par-
celled off.Computers can be given away.But, there remain heartbeats, churn-
ing minds, fingers itching to take notes, feet fixated on pounding the pavement in search of “the story.”
It is always about “the story” — and this story, this tale of the death of the Kamloops Daily News, is a sad story.
The people left in the lurch on the heels of this news are the ones for whom we should ache.
There are mortgages, children’s activities and all sorts of other bills — once monthly nuisances, now numbers that represent the fine line between have and have-not.
Workers at Pollard Banknote, Weyerhaeuser and Domtar know full well what kind of stress is coursing through the bodies of those at the Daily News today.
I like the Kamloops Daily News. I have always liked the paper.
Yes, we have been competitors, just as we compete with radio and televi-sion for advertising dollars and news stories. Competition creates better products and the Daily News’ closure is a damn shame.
All we can do is carry on and prac-tise this craft with the same passion that initially lured us through the doors.
I sincerely hope the -30- at the end of the Daily News’ story does not extend to the journalistic lives of the newsroom staff at the paper — and that they have a chance again to start the presses.

Re: Story: Thompson Rivers University to close Accolades restaurant:

“Why does every-thing that is good in Kamloops shut their doors and everything that means nothing start up?”

“Perhaps they should close down the useless horticultural program.
“That would be a step forward.”

Re: Story: City disputes allegation shot dog has been left untreated:
“Sounds like they need to let the dog go.
“It was protecting its property and people. Cops need to carry pep-per spray and Tasers so they can deal with dogs that way, instead of shooting the dog.
“If I was the owner of that dog, I would be suing the RCMP for putting my life in dan-ger by shooting inside the house so close to people.”

Fletcher needs to take a standEditor:
Re: (Tom Fletcher column, In a Perfect Political World, This Wish List Would Come True, KTW, Dec. 31):
Fletcher’s five-point “wish list” would have more impact if he were more than a thinly veiled apologist for the status quo.
Where was Fletcher in support of the 2005 referendum on political reform in B.C. and 2009 referendum on the HST?
A postive result then would have created the conditions in which his wish list would have a genuine chance of happening.
Dyer says in his column that “people have given up the whole thing [the political process]” because people like Fletcher have abdicated their responsibilities.
If the direction the status quo is taking us is objectionable,
then someone needs to step in front of the juggernaut to stop it.If the opposition is not presenting ideas, present your ideas,
backed up with facts and presented in a reasoned format.Where is the courage to stand up for change? Fletcher is in a position to present and to actually advocate for
change. Voters are ready to accept such a lead.If he wants to see media care about more than conflict, he
must be the media scribe who presents solutions.This time next year, I look forward to congratulating Fletcher
on having a completed wish list, or at least having done every-thing in his power and ability to do so.
Ray JonesKamloops
Busy RIH staff praised for care, smilesEditor:
With too much bad publicity about Royal Inland Hospital, I want to say how much I appreciate it.
I recently had major surgery and, from the pre-surgery department to the day-care staff through the operating room, recovering and caring anesthestist to Dr. Hansen and, especially, the nursing staff on the sixth floor south, you are all angels.
I saw firsthand how busy you all are and, yet, those smiles were always there.
Keep up the good work. I, for one, appreciate all you do.
From my heart to yours, thank you and God bless you.
Lynne ToddLogan Lake
Taking a Christmas standEditor:
It has been said confession is good for the soul.
This confession is about my Christmas shopping and what I didn’t put under the tree.
It was a real temptation and I admit I had gone this route other years.
Most guys will admit to leav-ing their flurry of buying until the last minute but there was still plenty of time — it wasn’t a moment of panic buying I faced.
“Glittering, beautiful and absolutely perfect” described what I saw illuminated so won-derfully beneath the glass.
I was about to ask if I could see them up close, hold them and admire their beauty.
Perhaps it’s because I am no
longer a young man. I have heard that, as a man
ages, his thoughts change and he begins to reflect more.
This was a moment when I remembered what had happened in this past year.
It was the year for me to take a stand and now was the moment I felt I still had to stand.
Those beautiful earrings stayed where they could glit-ter beautifully under the store’s bright lights.
The romance of the moment and thoughts of that small pack-age under the tree had a different perspective this year.
Some of my words had come back to me.
The hours of researching would have been time spent only
to write flowery expositions that really didn’t mean anything.
When it came down to the crunch, it would have shown I was unable to apply any of what I said to a personal decision.
What was in that moment of reflection? Words and phrases like zero harm, grasslands, the environment, our health, the future of our children, destruc-tion of aquifers, etc.
It was a small pair of beauti-ful gold earrings in a display case that captured me for a moment in time.
It was the small voice of my conscience that allowed me to stand and walk away.
John NoakesKamloops
Editor:Re: (Dale Bass’s col-
umn, “When the busi-ness of death hijacks common sense”, KTW, Dec. 26):
I couldn’t agree more with Bass.
Her column was excellent and I am sure many more Kamloopsians will agree.
Maybe somebody from city hall will have read it, too.

WE KICK OFF 2014 with a 2015 model — the Audi
S3, which provides stunning zero to100 km/h perfor-mance in 4.9 seconds, yet boasts an expected 6.9L/100 km fuel rating.
When it arrives here in the fall (price to be deter-mined), it will abound with new technology starting with the engine.
The 2.0-litre twin turbo engine was specifically developed for the S3 and produces 300 hp and 280 lb/ft of torque for a truly impressive 150 hp per litre.
This is done beginning with two balance shafts rotating one inside the other at twice the speed of the crankshaft for smoothness.
It also uses indirect (that’s correct, indirect) fuel injection.
At part load it reduces consumption and particulate emissions. FSI injection, which works at pressures up to 200 bar, is used when starting and at higher loads for full performance.
Most of these new twin-turbos have prodigious power but are, by their very nature, muffled in operation.
Audi, not to lose any of the aural joy of driving a high performance car, over-comes this in two ways.
The S3’s engine has an electromechanical sound actuator at the bulkhead that produces a throaty sporting tone in the cockpit.
The exhaust system also includes a sound flap that opens at certain engine speed ranges to give the S3 an even more purposeful snarl.
Although a six-speed manual is offered in other markets, Canada will get only a six-speed S-tronic that is remarkable in its own right.
The S tronic consists of two sub-units with two multi-plate clutches control-ling the gears.
Both transmission structures are continuously active, but only one of them is connected to the engine at any one time.
For example, when the driver accelerates in third gear, the fourth gear is already engaged in the sec-ond transmission section.
Believe it or not, shifts are performed by switching the clutches.
This takes a few hun-dredths of a second and happens so quickly and smoothly that it is barely perceptible.
The Quattro permanent all-wheel-drive system that
Audi has been perfecting for more than 30 years is standard and, in the S3, an electronic limited slip differ-ential is also standard.
In Audi’s case, the ‘S’ stands for ‘sizzling’The 2015 Audi S3 features performance and practicality
Purposeful from any angle, the 2015 Audi S3 abounds with new technology all designed to reward the driver who wants to spend the day on the road.

A step forward in steering is the new pro-gressive system that is geared to provide vary-ing ratios depending on demand being indirect on centre in low speed but very direct (taut) when steering sharply.
In real-world driving in the mountains behind Monte Carlo, in the hundreds of 270-degree switchbacks, when entering a turn, the S3 was flat on all four wheels with the torque shift from the AWD working smoothly.
The shock absorb-ers and the compact coil springs are sepa-rate from one another, resulting in sensitive response and a high luggage capacity.
The sport suspension lowers the body by 25
millimetres compared with the A3.
On the A8 highway running from Monte Carlo to Nice, the sur-face is billiard table flat but the lanes are nar-rower than we are used to in Canada.
The highway also twists and turns follow-ing the mountains that plunge deeply to the Mediterranean Sea so accurate handling is a must.
On the straight stretches, the steering effort was relaxed.
But, as I headed into a curve or had to make an abrupt lane change, the steering wheel tightened up imparting confidence but quelling over steering.
And despite all the available grip, I was surprised to learn the S3
I was driving had low-resistance tires to help increase fuel economy.
A very popular Audi option that is standard on the S3 is driver select.
It allows the driver to push a button to chose one of four driving modes — comfort, auto, dynamic, efficiency or individual mode.
In individual mode, drivers can dial in their own preferred profile — within certain limits.
Audi’s breakthrough use of LED headlights on only its premium products makes it into the compact premium segment for the first time on the S3.
The low beams are generated in two free-form reflectors with a total of nine high-per-formance LED chips. Ten high-performance
LEDs in the matt alu-minum trim provide the high beams.
The interior of the S3, including the headliner, is black with contrasting stitching featuring sports seats with pull out seat cush-ions that are also a new development.
The main gauges are grey with white pointers.
Another S3-specific feature can be found on the tachometer, which includes a boost pres-sure gauge.
The driver’s infor-mation system with rest recommendation alert is standard and the power-retractable on-board monitor powers up to display a special S3 screen when the igni-tion is turned on.
Luggage capacity is 365 litres, which can be
increased to 1,100 litres by folding down the rear seats.
The safety features, also sourced from Audi’s premium sedans, are two numerous to mention here, but wor-thy of note is adaptive cruise control brings the car to a stop autono-mously from speeds below 30 km/h.
Finally, the S3 is just downright handsome to look at from any angle especially with the S-specific five-spoke alloy wheels and low-ered suspension.
I guess the only drawback will be the wait until fall.
But when it does get here, the 2015 Audi S3 will reward drivers no matter where they are going or how fast they want to get there.
From A12
Audi’s S3 will set you free on the road
The interior of the 2015 Audi S3 has sports seats with pull out seat cushions, that is a new development from Audi. Cargo capacity is 365 litres, which grows to 1,100 litres when the 60/40 back seat is folded flat, meaning you can carry your golf clubs and keep them close to you.

THE EMOTION JAKOB WALTER SHOWED DURING A POST-GAME INTERVIEW
TOLD THE STORY — THIS ONE HURT.
Okanagan Hockey Academy of Penticton claimed the 46th Kamloops International Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament (KIBIHT) title with a 4-2 victory over the Kamloops Jardine’s Blazers on the Olympic-size ice at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre on Sunday, Jan. 5.
“I’ve been here before and this is the hardest one,” said a trembling Walter, whose stellar play between the pipes for Kamloops is one rea-son why the Blazers were tied 2-2 with favoured OHA with less than two minutes to play in regulation.
“It’s KIBIHT. It’s the biggest thing you look up to your whole life. It’s really tough.”
With 1:23 remaining in the third period, Brandon Armstrong’s slap shot from the left point beat a screened Walter.
That goal gave the visitors a 3-2 lead and Akash Bains iced the game with an empty-net marker with 2.5 seconds on the clock.
OHA spent long periods of the champion-ship tilt with possession of the puck in the offensive zone — much as it did throughout the tourna-ment, outscoring opponents 20-3 through its first five games.
“That’s our game plan,” said OHA head coach Mike Needham, who was named KIBIHT’s top tier 1 bench boss.
“We want to have the puck. It’s a big ice surface here, so to chip it and go get it is a tougher thing to do than to have it all the time. I thought we executed very well.
“I give Kamloops a lot of credit, getting down 2-0, they came back and really pushed us in the second and third.”
The first period, a scrappy 20 minutes, was highlighted by OHA’s first goal, tallied at the 17:17 mark by Jordan Schulting, who deflected a Tyler Popowich wrist shot past Walter.
OHA forward Hayden Dick,
who was one of the best players on the ice, lifted his team to a 2-0 lead at the 5:46 mark of the second period when he banged home a rebound.
The Blazers were down a pair late in the second stanza when standout forward Brendan Semchuk sped furiously down the right wing and beat OHA goaltender Shane Farkas with a sharp-angle shot. Ty Kolle assisted on the goal.
There was an elongated break between the second and third peri-ods, due to a shoot-to-win contest, but both squads seemed to handle the delay well.
“We came out a little flat, maybe,” Blazers’ head coach Kyle Allan said. “But, it was the same for them. We did build a little momentum going into the third, but I don’t think it hurt us a whole lot.”
Eight minutes into the third period, Kamloops drew level with OHA at 2-2 when Kolle fired a laser beam past Farkas on the power-play — a man-advantage earned through the hard work of Semchuk, Ryan Chyzowski and Max Patterson.
Garrett Ewert — who was named Kamloops’ game MVP — assisted on the marker, which sent the 550 or so fans in attendance into a frenzy.
With less than five minutes to play in the third period, Semchuk was assessed a four-minute penalty for contacting the head of an OHA player after a melee in front of Walter’s net.
Dick was slapped with a minor penalty for slashing, so the visitors came away from the fracas with a two-minute power play.
Walter and the Blazers’ penalty-killing units bailed out Semchuk, with Chyzowski, known for his offensive prowess, laying out to block a howitzer.
Semchuk was honoured by orga-nizers after the final.
He was named both tournament MVP and KIBIHT’s top tier 1 for-ward. The lightning-fast sniper was also awarded tier 1 all-star status.
Semchuk scored the overtime winner in a 3-2 victory over Pursuit of Excellence of Kelowna in a semifinal tilt on Saturday, Jan. 4.
After Armstrong’s goal, the Blazers pressed to tie with an extra attacker on the ice, but there was no equalizer to be found.
“Our boys played hard and it was good to see,” Allan said.
“We got down early and the boys battled back.
“We showed we could compete with them.
“It gives our boys a little more belief.”
OHA was pegged to win and it was the better team on the night.
Should the Blazers have pulled out an unlikely victory, it would have marked only the third time in tournament history a Kamloops team claimed the title.
Walter pulled his mask over his head when the tournament awards were being handed out at centre ice. He was fighting back tears.
Teammates gave him a lift after the game and Allan reassured the netminder the loss had nothing to do with his play.
“Jake Walter is a phenomenal goaltender,” Allan said.
“He’s held us in games and he wins us games. There’s nothing for him to hang his head about.
“We showed we can play with the top competition here in B.C. and some of the best teams not only in Western Canada, but in all of Canada.
“It makes us stronger going for-ward.”
Victorious VeesIn KIBIHT’s tier 2 final, the
Penticon Vees edged the Vernon Vipers 3-2.
The Kamloops Players Bench Raiders fell 7-6 to Pursuit of Excellence of Kelowna in a conso-lation matchup on Saturday, Jan. 4.
Scoring twice for the Raiders was Rylan Van Unen, who added two assists.
Also notching goals in support of goaltender Reid Gladman were Conan Poss, Brett Olstad, Garrett Kellington and Parker Matheson.

How and why did you become involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters?I became involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters because I wanted to give back to the community in some aspect. Volunteering with youth seemed like the perfect fi t for me – to be a role model and help build confi dence in a child and help her achieve her dreams. I heard about the Sports Mentorship program through a Kamloops volunteers email and decided to look into it.
What do you enjoy about the Sports Mentorship Program?Being a university student and also a varsity athlete, the fl exibility of Sports Mentorship is the key thing that drew me into this specifi c program. I also knew that through my involvement with the university athletics I could provide my Little with sports opportunities she might not otherwise be exposed to. So one of my favourite things about this program is providing my Little with unique opportunities that can build her confi dence and show her what a healthy, active lifestyle is. How oft en do you see your Little and what do you do?She and I meet once every two weeks or twice a month depending on my travel schedule for basketball and exam schedule. One of our favourite activities is swimming; however, we have also been to the farmers’ market, lazer tag, a baseball game, played baseball, played grounders at the park and gone to my Little’s favourite place, Petland, to name a few.
How is this relationship fi tting into your life?This relationship is fi tting into my life more than I ever expected coming into the program. I think of her as my little sister now and look forward to every time we hang out.
Who would you recommend this program to?I would recommend anyone that has a desire to help others and a few extra hours a week to give. How has your Little benefi tted from the program? I believe I have helped build my Little’s confi dence in her abilities not only in sports but her general confi dence overall. By giving her unique opportunities to meet other athletes and go to games she has experienced opportuni-ties she might not have been otherwise given. Throughout our last year together I have noticed a big difference in my Little coming out of her shell, not only to me but also to new people she meets. She is no longer as scared at fi rst when meeting people and is willing to try new things! Why do you think that someone should volunteer in this program?It is a fabulous program that is well run with excellent support and is a truly humbling experience as well. Not only will you be a role model and friend for a youth in the com-munity, but you yourself will also gain so much out of it. Is there anything else you would like to add? My Little has opened my eyes to how incredible kid’s imaginations are and made me grateful for everything in my life. I am really lucky to have been matched with such an awesome kid. She always keeps me on my toes running around and is incredibly talented in so many ways!

Deeply loved and missed by daughter Sandra (Barry), son Richard (Diana), sister Madeleine and brother Paul (Suzanne). Her memory will be cherished by her grandchildren Ryan, Jaymie (Roy), Kai and Isis, great-granddaughters Elizibeth and Claire and numerous loving family members.
She was predeceased by her husband Eric “Rick”, her parents Robert and Yvonne and sister Pauline.
Lorraine was born May 16, 1927 in Legal, Alberta, her family moved to Edmonton in 1942. She obtained her training as a radiology technician from the old Misericordia Hospital. She came to work at Royal Inland Hospital after graduating, meeting Eric on a blind date and they married in 1954. After raising their children she returned to work at Tranquille being able to operate the old x-ray equipment and develop her own fi lms. Her green thumb was evident in the most incredible fl ower and vegetable gardens. We all enjoyed her breads, baking and home preserves. Her petit point adorned most of the walls in their home. Lorraine lived a full life with Eric by her side- fi shing, camping, curling, golfi ng, playing bridge and travelling.
Many heartfelt thanks to Sandy and Dr. H. Stefanyk. Words cannot express our appreciation and gratitude of the staff and volunteers at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home for their care of mom and us during her stay.
She leaves us as she lived her life….with grace and dignity, always a lady.
At Lorraine’s request there will be no service. In lieu of fl owers memorial donations may be made to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House, 72 Whiteshield Cresent S, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9

RICHARD COLSTON HALE1924~2013
It is with heavy hearts that the family of Richard Colston Hale announce his peaceful passing on Christmas day.
Richard was born on August 7, 1924 just outside of Creston BC in Erickson and raised in the Canyon area. In grade 9 Richard met his bride to be. He graduated in 1942 and moved to Vancouver, BC where he got a job at the Boeing Air Plant and married his high school sweet heart, Anita, on February 13, 1943. He was in the Canadian Air Force and discharged on the 22 of February in 1945. Richard took an electrical course and bought a shack in Creston where he started and maintained his own electrical company called RC Hale Electric. His two sons, Mel and Doug were apprenticed by their father and worked along side him. Richard turned the business over to his son Doug in 1988. He bought a place and lived at Kootenay Lake before moving to Kamloops in the late 80’s. In 1997 Richard was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and he made one last move to the Kamloops Senior’s Village in 2010. One of his biggest joys in life were his dogs, CC, Copper and Bailey they were more than just pets, they were his friends, companions and a great source of love.
Richard will be forever remembered by his sons Jim (Loletta) of Victoria, Barry of Kelowna and Mel (Diane) Louis Creek BC, and lovingly remembered by numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren.
He was predeceased by his beloved wife Anita, and his son Doug of Creston.
The family would like to thank the staff at the Kamloops Senior’s Village for their kindness and their compassion that they showed towards Dad.
There is no formal service by request but a scattering of remains on Kootenay Lake to take place at a later date.
Cheerio!

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

Red Nose rides to successBy Andrea Klassen
STAFF [email protected]
Kamloops volunteers for Operation Red Nose have racked up more miles than any other B.C. com-munity once again but, this year the program had some extra help.
While many Lower Mainland communities took the weekend of Dec. 27 off, the Kamloops opera-tion was up and running, allowing 137 people to slip into the passenger seats of their vehicles as sober vol-unteers took the wheel to get them home.
Program co-ordinator Katie Klassen said this year, the 17th for the campaign, was again one of expansion.
The program provided 1,129 rides home over its 11 nights.
All told, volunteer drivers cov-ered more than 23,000 kilometres of road and raised more than $27,000 in donations, up from about $24,000 last year, Klassen said.
“I got a lot of phone calls from people this year asking about Operation Red Nose, and what the service was about and how it works from people who knew they were going to be out drinking later that night and wanted to make sure they had a ride home,” she said.
“I think more people are learning about the program every year.”
Klassen said this year also brought in many new volunteers.
More than 200 people helped out on this year’s campaign.
Klassen said many new faces were people who have used the service in the past and want to give back.
“I think people who used the service just really value it,” Klassen said.
“And, then, there’s a lot of word of mouth. People will say, ‘Oh, my friend volunteered last year and she had a lot of fun’.”
Donations go to PacificSport Interior B.C., which supports athletes in the Kamloops region with travel funding, coaching support, equip-ment purchases and other services.
While New Year’s Eve is consid-ered one of the program’s biggest nights, Klassen said Dec. 14 was probably the busiest in terms of steady activity throughout the eve-ning, which she attributes to people coming and going from holiday par-ties.
“New Year’s Eve is obviously really busy for us, but the calls all come at once,” she said.
Until 2014 rolled in, volunteers were mostly waiting around.
Dorian back serving ‘family’By Dale Bass
STAFF [email protected]
Business is good at Dorian Greek House after the Victoria Street restaurant had to close for several days last month.
Co-owner Diane Dokolas said being linked to a norovirus out-break has made them aware of “some of the little things you just don’t think about when you’re working every day.”
The norovirus outbreak affect-ed many Royal Inland Hospital staff who had used the restaurant for a pre-Christmas lunch.
Having been in the res-taurant business for about 35 years, Dokolas said she and her husband have “a good follow-
ing, with kids and grandkids of customers now coming in,” and that has helped it regain a footing after the closure.
During that time, the res-taurant underwent a thorough cleaning, a number of items were discarded and health inspec-
tors reviewed everything before allowing the downtown eatery to reopen.
“But, it’s been fantastic,” Dokolas said.
“It’s just so Kamloops. Everybody always pulls
together.”
The Shark Club will be part of the Sandman Signature Hotel when it opens this year on Lorne Street, across from Riverside Park.

MARGARET POLEGI (BAUER)Margaret was born on February 1, 1926 in Batschki Jarak, Yugoslavia.
In 1930, along with her parents John and Margaret Bauer (Grueling) she boarded the ship Minnedosa and immigrated to Canada where the family settled in Kamloops. Margaret grew up in the orchards, asparagus fi elds and hop yards that made up Brocklehurst and North Kamloops. She began her education in the one room school on Crestline St. that had been set up for the German immigrants. Her formal education went only to grade 4, but her life time education and her strong determination taught her that she could do anything that she set her mind to.
Her fi rst “real” job at age 14 was at The Royal Café (Bing’s) and later at The Silver Grill. At 18 she moved to Vancouver to attend hair dressing school and there she met her fi rst husband Carl Polegi while he was on air force leave. Margaret and Carl were married in 1946 in Jedburgh, Sask. Their daughter Darleen was born in 1956 and they remained farming at Jedburgh until 1964. The family moved to Kamloops and Margaret worked in housekeeping at RIH. Not caring for that career, she purchased the privately owned RIH concession and thus began her life in business. In 1966 she opened Darcy Rand’s Bargain Rite in the 300 block of Victoria St. When the store was destroyed by fi re she moved into the world of real estate. Buying, renovating and reselling many houses as well as maintaining rental suites and housekeeping rooms. She independently obtained a loan and built her own home; all at a time when women could still do very little without a man’s signature. During the late 70’s and through the 80’s she became known to many as “the fl ea market lady” as she created a business with her ever present tables of treasures and hand crafted jewelry. For many years the fl ea market trade took her happily on the road to Vancouver, throughout BC and to Edmonton.
Margaret had a desire to travel and with her sister Edith toured through much of the US, eastern Canada, Germany, France, Switzerland and Italy.
In Margaret’s later retirement years, she thoroughly enjoyed the camaraderie and fl amboyance of the Red Hat Society and the travels of the Kamloops Antiques and Collectables club.
Along the busy road of her life, Margaret met her second partner in life, Arthur Metzger and his children Sherry Teed and Rick Metzger. Her most cherished times of all were those spent with grandchildren Amber, Dale, Dustin, Derrick, great grandson Zach. They are the ones who gave her the most smiles in life.
Mom had a special focus on Christmas this year and her usual determination is what got her there. She passed away on the morning of December 25th, leaving behind her daughter Darleen Polegi Gair (Larry), step children Sherry Teed, Rick Metzger (Melody), grand children Amber Briglio (Giancarlo), Dale Gair (Meghan), Dustin Metzger, Derrick Metzger, great grandson Zach Briglio, sister Edith Seminiuk, nieces and nephews.
Predeceased by her parents, infant son Randy, Art Metzger and Carl Polegi.
A celebration of Margaret’s life will be announced at a later date.
The family sincerely thanks the staff of Ridgeview Lodge for the care that they gave to Margaret and to her family during her last hours of life.

TO ALL PARENTS ... By Edgar Guest
“I’ll lend you for a little timeA child of Mine” He said,“For you to love while he lives, And mourn when he is dead.
It may be six or seven years, Or twenty-two or three,But will you, till I call him back Take care of him for Me?
He’ll bring his charms to gladden you, And should his stay be brief,You’ll have his lovely memories As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay Since all from earth return,But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
I’ve looked the wide world overIn my search for teachers true,And from the throngs that crowd life’s
lanes I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love, Nor think the labour vain,Not hate Me when I come To call and take him back again?
I fancied that I heard them say Dear Lord, Thy will be done.For all the joy this child shall bring, The risk of grief we’ll run.
We’ll shelter him with tenderness.We’ll love him while we may,And for the happiness we’ve known Forever grateful stay.
And should the angels call for him Much sooner than we’d planned,We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes And try to understand.

Love Always Remembers

And may you nd comfort and peace in the thought
Of the joy that knowing your loved one brought
For time and space can never divide
Or keep your loved onefrom your side
When memorypaints
In colors trueThe happy hours
