An Okanagan woman has died and the death is being attributed to the H1N1 flu.

While the Interior Health Authority (IHA) has not released details, citing privacy issues for the family of the woman, some media have been report-ing the woman was 59 and died on Dec. 29 in Vernon Jubilee Hospital.

It is the first H1N1-related death in the Interior.

The death of a Vancouver Island woman last month has also been linked to the flu virus, along with other medi-cal factors.

A third death in the Lower Mainland is being investigated for any link to the virus, but there has been no confirmation.

IHA medical-health officer Dr. Rob Parker said he expects the peak of flu cases will occur in the next two or three weeks, noting it is those between the ages of 20 and 65 who are getting hit hardest.

Parker said the IHA is taking its cues from how the flu has gone through Alberta which, as of Tuesday, Jan. 7, has seen nine deaths and 1,335 confirmed cases of the flu — 1,189 of them the H1N1 virus.

Seventy people are in intensive-care units in hospitals, another 218 are in medical wards. Edmonton has 503 cases and Calgary has 437.

In the Thompson-Cariboo-Shuswap region, there have been 14 confirmed cases of H1N1, but there are likely many more, the IHA reports.

This is because most people will not go to the doctor and prefer to wait

it out and many doctors won’t send patients to be tested.

Parker said people die from the flu every year, but noted H1N1-virus cases continue to garner more media atten-tion because of the 2009 outbreak of the virus, which led the World Health Organization to declare it a pandemic.

Flu-related deaths usually occur because of secondary infections, pneu-monia or heart failure that flow from the presence of the virus, leaving the body weaker and more vulnerable, Parker said.

This is particularly true if a chronic condition already exists, which is why those people are included in the cat-egory who can get a flu shot for free.

He said an indicator of what the impact of the virus will be in B.C. should come soon, now that schools are back in session.

Younger children don’t have as much immunity and, if they haven’t received the flu shot regularly, could be more susceptible.

Parker said he wouldn’t be sur-prised to see an outbreak occur within the senior sector, as well, although they represent a population that has likely been exposed to the virus frequently and tend to be more diligent about get-ting annual flu shots.

Parker said getting an annual shot doesn’t provide complete protection.

“But, even if you get the shot and you get the flu, the risks are much less. You tend to recover quicker.

“I always say getting the flu shot is like putting snow tires on in the winter. You just do it.”

More information is available by calling the 811 health line or going online to immunizebc.ca.

John Cuzzola and his team of technology experts were faced with a problem — bandwidth.

In particular, the information-technology department at School District 73 was struggling with a way to boost Internet bandwidth at 16 schools that wasn’t even at the district’s minimum standards.

Nor, said Cuzzola, was it strong enough to keep up with “our 21st-century learning opportunities.”

The first hurdle was cost.To deal with a school site, one that can be

used by several hundred students daily, the actual cost from the district’s Internet provider ranged from $800 to $1,600 per month, per school, to be upgraded.

Add to that the time involved to do all the work, estimated to take from three to six months per school, and the upgrade project was expensive and would take years to complete.

“We needed a solution to bypass problem No. 1 and problem No. 2 and we knew we have sites with lots of bandwidth,” Cuzzola said.

Urban secondary schools are on a fibre-optic Internet system, a decision the school board made in 2004 when the city was involved in upgrading its own systems to fibre-optics

“So, we thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if we could run a wire from, say South Kamloops sec-ondary to Stuart Wood elementary to share band-width?’” Cuzzola explained.

“Now, obviously we can’t run a physical wire. That’s impossible. But, technology is at a point where we can do this.”

All that was needed were some small satellite dishes and clear lines of sight.

By the end of last year, 11 of the schools had been given the virtual line, connecting them with schools with more bandwidth than they can use, Cuzzola said.

By the end of this school year in June, he hopes to have all but six schools using the system.

Those six schools can’t be incorporated due to poor lines of sight.

“We can’t beam the signal through trees or people’s living rooms,” Cuzzola said.

Those schools will get the Internet-provider upgrades instead.

The first schools to be linked were NorKam secondary on Twelfth Street in North Kamloops

to Beattie School of the Arts elementary on McGill Road in Sahali and the former George Hilliard ele-mentary on Holt Street in Brocklehurst, now home to Twin Rivers Education Centre.

Some of the links are more involved.A dish on the roof of Westsyde secondary on

Bebek Road is linked to Pacific Way elementary in Aberdeen and, through a relay, to Arthur Stevenson elementary on Bank Road in Westsyde.

Cuzzola said there are several advantages to the system.

The small dishes are about $100 each, in U.S. dollars, but they allow the department to cancel some of the servicing at the schools that are piggy-backing onto the greater bandwidth sources.

Those are savings he can apply to the six schools that will require the more expensive upgrades.

Speed has improved to the extent it is now from five to seven times faster than it had been before.

There are no monthly maintenance costs associ-ated with the dish linkages.

“And the ministry [of education] likes all of that,” Cuzzola said.

Next up on the department’s long list of jobs to do is what Cuzzola calls the Starbucks model of Internet provision, where service will be expanded within each school building.

That ice will be liquid soon enough as today’s high of 0 C is expected to rise to 9 C by the weekend, making for a mucky immediate future. Dave Eagles/KTW

Dishing up innovationSchool district finds creative way to boost bandwith

This satellite dish is on the rooftop of Twin Rivers Education Centre in Brocklehurst. It points to a receiving dish at Beattie School of the Arts in Sahali. From there, the Beattie dish beams bandwith to a dish atop North Kamloops secondary. The innovative approach by the Kamloops-Thompson school district’s information-technology department has improved Internet speed at various schools, while realizing serious cost savings.

On top of having to shovel your driveway, and having it wreak havoc on your travel plans, snow also creates issues when it comes to parking on city streets. We recognize that piles of snow (windrows) can make parking difficult during the winter months, but please be reminded that City Bylaws and the Motor Vehicle Act prohibit motorists from parking in such a manner that may hinder normal traffic flow. A minimum 6 meters must be provided at all times for the travel portion of a roadway. We want to ensure that two lanes of traffic can flow, and that there is access for emergency vehicles and snow plows. When clearing your driveway, please place the snow onto your property and not out onto the street to help ease the difficulty of parking.

On two way streets, please only park on the right-hand side, and vehicle wheels must be within 30 cm of the curb. Thank you for your cooperation. For more information, contact [email protected].

How do I park my car on the street with all this snow?

These two images (taken of Clarke Street and Battle Street, respectively) show how windrows create a narrow travelway.

A Kamloops teenager is standing trial accused of robbery following an Aberdeen home invasion last spring in which the item sought by a trio of young robbers was an expensive bong.

The 17-year-old boy is alleged to have taken part in the April 10, 2013, home invasion with two other youths — both of whom pleaded guilty.

None of them can be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Court heard two of the teenaged robbers were planning their crime on a bus when they were approached by the accused.

The two boys did not know the accused, who claimed to know the 16-year-old target, who the boys had been describ-

ing by name.One of the two youths

who pleaded guilty took the stand on Wednesday, Jan. 8, as a Crown witness.

He said he was owed money by the target, with whom he briefly lived at the target’s mother’s Sifton Place home, and he was happy to have the accused help in the rob-bery.

“I thought one more

body couldn’t hurt — I thought it would be more intimidating.”

The boys entered the home using a hidden key and told the target, who was home alone, to wait in his mom’s room.

They then rifled through his belongings and found the dismantled

bong — which, court heard, costs between $1,000 and $1,500 and stands about four feet high.

At one point, the target came out of his mother’s room and was punched in the arm.

The trial will continue at a later date.

“He tried to kill me.”That’s what a

Kamloops Mountie was told by a man inside the apartment in which a gun was fired last summer, injuring a woman in a neighbouring suite.

Trevor Michael Wilvers is facing a total of eight charges stem-ming from the June 4,

2013, incident that left a 25-year-old woman with a bullet wound in her arm.

The 35-year-old’s trial began on Wednesday, Jan. 8, with one witness.

Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Wayne Chung testi-fied he was one of the first officers to show up at the North Kamloops home after a shots-fired call came in to police.

Chung said he opened the home’s front door and

announced his presence by yelling, “Police!”

About 30 seconds later, he said, a shirtless man appeared at the top of a flight of stairs and said, “He tried to kill me.”

That man, later identi-fied as Trevor Newton, was taken into custody as a precaution, Chung said, noting a woman in the home also came to police.

Chung said both peo-

ple identified the shooter as Wilvers — who, they said, had fled the scene in a silver Jeep.

Last fall, Wilvers’ trial was delayed when Newton’s story appar-ently changed.

At a hearing in October, court heard Newton was no longer identifying Wilvers as the shooter.

At that hearing, defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen called the

Kamloops RCMP’s actions following the shooting “an arrest first, sort out later” investiga-tion.

The woman who was struck by the bullet, in a suite below that where the gun was fired, made a full recovery and has since moved with her family to Merritt.

Wilvers’ trial is expected to resume next week.

B.C.’s consumer price index slipped into nega-tive territory in November, partly due the repeal of the harmonized sales tax last spring.

The price index in Vancouver was up slightly, but deflation in Victoria and other areas of the province produced a provincial average of -0.2 per cent for the month. Canada-wide, inflation was 0.9 per cent.

The cost of restaurant food fell 4.4 per cent in November compared to the same month in 2012, Statistics Canada reported.

The provincial average cost of health and per-

sonal care, including services where sales tax was removed, went down 3.1 per cent.

There were average price increases in food pur-chased from stores, up 1.1 per cent, clothing up 1.3 per cent, transportation up 0.7 per cent and alcohol and tobacco products, up 1.7 per cent.

Average rent costs were up 1.0 per cent, but overall shelter cost was down 0.7 per cent, continu-ing a decline since mid-2012.

B.C. population reaches 4.6 millionB.C.’s population grew by 24,000 in the third

quarter of 2013, reaching 4,606,375.It’s the largest population increase for that quar-

ter since 1996.The increase was mainly a result of 15,477 non-

permanent residents, which Statistics Canada warns are a volatile component of population measure-ment.

Northern B.C. communities are dealing with what they call “ghost populations,” with thousands of workers flying in and out of industrial camps, putting pressure on local services without contrib-uting to communities.

Interprovincial migration figures showed the seventh consecutive quarter of net loss for B.C.,

down 282 people from the second quarter.B.C.’s total population increase over the 12

months ending Oct. 1 was 47,496 people, mainly due to international immigration, which saw a net gain of 35,282 people. Natural growth (births minus deaths) accounted for 11,214 of the total.

Housing market upswing predictedThe B.C. housing market will see slow but

steady growth over the next three years, according to a forecast by Central 1 Credit Union.

The trade association for B.C. and Ontario credit unions predicts the number of sales will rise about seven per cent to 72,500 in 2014, and reach 84,000 by 2016.

The median resale price is forecast to increase 1.5 per cent in 2014, 2.5 per cent in 2015 and three per cent in 2016.

New home sales are expected to rebound by about 30 per cent in 2014, but remain at a low level of 15,500 units sold, said Central 1 economist Brian Yu.

New construction in the Lower Mainland Southwest region is expected to decline slightly due to high inventory, while housing starts are fore-cast to rise in most other areas of the province.

New CAO for District of Logan LakeThe District of Logan Lake has hired Osei

Bosompem as chief administrative officer.He will assume the position on Monday, Feb. 3.Bosompem has 14 years of experience in the pub-

lic and financial-service organizations.He has worked as an administrator and a chief

operating officer for First Nations.He has also worked as a director of corporate

services, as a financial specialist and as a chamber of commerce director, with a record of increasing organizational efficiency and success in achieving its objectives and goals.

Bosompem has achieved a master’s of public administration (public management), a master’s of science in administration (finance) and a bachelor of commerce (marketing).

Defl ation in NovemberConsumer-price index slips into negative territory

THE PROVINCE

The man behind a Kamloops compassion club who hopes to take on the constitutionality of Canada’s medical-pot laws was back in court on Wednesday, Jan. 8.

Carl Anderson and two lawyers, Shawn Buckley and Richard Kaiser, were in Kamloops provincial court for a pre-trial con-ference.

Anderson, whose Tranquille Road com-passion-club storefront

was raided in November 2011, plans to plead not guilty to possessing under three kilograms of marijuana stemming from the raid.

He was originally charged with possessing more than three kilo-grams.

That charge was stayed and he was charged with the reduced count.

At the time the charge was stayed, Buckley told report-

ers he thought it was a move to force Anderson to stay in provincial court and away from a juried trial.

Anderson’s trial is slated to begin on Feb. 17.

Following the pre-trial conference, Buckley said he expects the Charter challenge to begin on March 3.

Outside of court, Anderson would not comment on the status of his compassion club.

If good fences make good neighbours, what does a small, temporary plastic divider make?

In the case of Mary Onufreychuk and Lynn Burgess — next-door neighbours on Ryan Place in Brocklehurst — it makes for alleged trouble.

Onufreychuk, 36, was acquitted in Kamloops provincial court on Wednesday, Jan. 8, on charges of theft and assault after an inci-dent last spring in which she was alleged to have tackled Burgess, 51, after destroying her neighbour’s plastic property-line border.

Burgess said she was tarring her driveway on March 31, 2013, when Onufreychuk, her boyfriend and their four kids arrived home after a day on the slopes at Sun Peaks.

“She [Onufreychuk] was just basically real-ly mad at a lot of things to do with her kids,” Burgess said.

“She yelled at them to get out of her hair.”Court heard Onufreychuk then approached

Burgess and confronted her about plastic bor-ders she had placed in the ground marking the property line — a line that had been contested in the past.

“She [Onufreychuk] said, ‘I’m going to rip

these goddamn things out,’” Burgess said.“She’s swearing at me and she’s telling me

what I can do with this edging.”Burgess said Onufreychuk pulled the bor-

ders out of the ground and threw them onto her own property.

That, court heard, is when things became physical.

“She charges me and squarely hits me on my shoulders,” Burgess said.

“She shoves me into the ground.”Taking the stand in her own defence,

Onufreychuk said she has never even spoken to Burgess, let alone cussed her out and tack-led her.

Onufreychuk said she and her boyfriend, Randy Pattie, did return home that day to find some tar on their property and they began cleaning it up.

She said Burgess called the police at some point and Mounties arrived a short time later.

According to Onufreychuk, Burgess has, in the past, videotaped her while she was in her yard.

According to court records, Burgess has been convicted twice on charges stemming from confrontations with Onufreychuk — for fear of injury in 2009 and for breach in 2010.

Ways to combat all these sad, sad days

Publisher: Kelly [email protected]: Christopher [email protected]

K A M L O O P S THIS WEEKVIEWPOINT

Following all the joy and cheer of the holidays, January can be one of the darkest months of the year.

Take Monday, for example.Many of us just returned to

a full work week, getting up in the dark and leaving work in the dark — all in frigid tempera-tures.

That’s why they call it Blue Monday. That’s right, this past Monday, Jan. 6, was suppos-

edly the most depressing day of the year, accord-ing to UK researchers who studies

more than two-million tweets on Twitter during the past three years.

Along with all the snow and cold, there’s not much to look forward to for many of us in January.

There is no holiday until Family Day next month, which is relatively new to us British Columbians.

Being winter, we also don’t get enough vitamin D, something Canadians lack between October and May, when sunshine doesn’t come out too often.

But, there is a lot we can take advantage of to keep our spirits high.

Getting active is one of the easiest ways to boost your mood and energy.

The options around Kamloops are endless — whether it’s win-ter, summer, spring or fall.

Take a splash in the pool at the Y, TCC or Westsyde, hit the slopes at Sun Peaks or Harper, lace up your skates at the many outdoor rinks or ponds, bundle up for an outdoor snowman-mak-ing contest with the kids or just take an invigorating hike into Kenna Cartwright Park.

Perhaps your brain is feeling a little fuzzy following the holi-days.

If so, there are a number of classes to keep you educated.

The best way to beat the win-ter blues is to get active, whether physically or mentally, so be pro-active and go for it.

Help Tina help others fi nd safety, comfort on the couchT INA LANGE TURNS 60

today (Jan. 9).Normally, this would

mean little more than an email exchange between the two of us because, beyond admiring her for what she has accomplished, I consider Tina a friend.

She’s marking the occasion in an interesting couple of ways.

First, she and fellow councillor Ken Christian, who is also celebrating a birthday this month (one that has him about 10 days younger than Tina) will be singing the national anthem at the Kamloops Blazers game on Jan. 22.

The other is typical Tina.She’s sharing her birthday with the

city through this column because she wants to give her own special gift to mark the occasion.

She wants money.As she put it in her email to me,

she wants “lots of money — enough to buy a new leather couch and love seat for the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter because it is No. 3 on their wish list. I think No. 1 and No. 2 were a house and a car and that seemed a bit daunting. Maybe when I turn 90.”

Why is Tina doing this?For a lot of reasons. The personal

one is best again put in Tina’s words: “One of my favourite charities is the Y women’s shelter because I am a woman, because it is upsetting to me that women are abused as much today as they were 50 years ago, because I used to work for the Y and because, for five years, I lived next door to the shelter and saw first-hand how busy they were.”

Michelle Walker, the Y’s director of violence against women intervention and support services, said the couch is

one of the first places women and their children fleeing abuse collapse onto — bewildered, scared, lost, but safe.

The current one, donated years ago, is a fabric-based couch that has absorbed dirt and vomit and tears and snot from crying children.

It can’t be cleaned any more.It has to go.Leather is better, Walker said,

because it is sturdier and can handle frequent washings. It’s easier to keep sanitary, something that is being driven home now as women and children arrive who might be carrying a flu virus.

The statistics make the point. Figures for last year are still being

tabulated, but Michelle said they shel-tered more women and children in 2013 than they did in 2012, when they welcomed 202 women and 100 chil-dren for 5,823 nights.

The first half of 2013 saw 115 women and 65 children spend 2,400 nights in the shelter.

Most days, there are between 15 and 23 women and children trying to put their lives together with shelter support every day.

The other reality: The shelter exists strictly on donations and annually runs

on a deficit that can hit six figures. It needs the community it serves to keep it alive.

The councillor side of Tina cel-ebrates the fact her peers agreed to fund an RCMP officer dedicated to address-ing domestic violence.

The woman side of Tina wishes it didn’t have to be that way.

But, the community side of Tina saw an opportunity to involve other Kamloopsians in her quest, even if they just donate $1, so they can be part of something bigger that is needed in the city.

She has partnered with Sid Kandola at City Furniture in the proj-ect and they will figure it all out once the campaign is complete.

The Y has built a website that should be up and running today. You can find it at kamloopsy.org.

Or, if you want, donations can be taken to the Y’s Battle Street office.

Make sure you make it clear in a note or on the memo line of a cheque the money is for Tina’s Couch Campaign.

The last words have to go to Tina.“Why am I doing this? I just want to

get the word out about this. “Someone told me once they

thought the food bank should be funded by government and I told them no, because people should support each other and feel good about giving.

“That’s why I’m doing this for my birthday. I want people to feel good about giving and I want the women and children who end up at the shelter to be able to sit down and feel comfortable, feel warm, feel safe.”

“Print is not dead, but you must stay light on your toes and give the business advertiser and reader what they need.

Beattie students know importance of Art-4-FunLAST MONTH,

I had the privilege of visiting the

Art-4-Fun program at the secondary campus of Beattie School of the Arts.

I witnessed com-mitted, energized high-school students leading elementary-aged children in two different explorations of the arts.

Art-4-Fun is the result of some very inspiring, arts-enthu-siastic high-school students attending Beattie School of the Arts.

Art-4-Fun involves high-school students providing arts-based after-school program-ming to elementary students from Beattie and Stuart Wood ele-mentary schools.

It is the brainchild

of Beattie’s secondary leadership students.

The idea was brought to fruition with assistance from Sherry Stade, the Kamloops-Thompson school district’s healthy schools co-ordinator, along with grants from the 2010 Legacy Fund and DASH BC.

Grant money cov-ers the cost of adults to supervise trans-portation of younger students, provides

support to the student leaders and pays for the cost of materials.

The program is led by 16 Beattie sec-ondary students who attended High Five Child Development Training last June in preparation for the Oct. 2 kickoff.

This school year, Art-4-Fun will have four sessions.

In each session, elementary students receive instruction in two areas of the arts.

October was guitar and drama.

November was hip-hop dance and draw-ing and painting.

February will be jazz dance and ceram-ics and sculpture.

April will be vocals and drama.

If providing arts education to younger students wasn’t

enough, the greatest aspect of this program is the drive and pas-sion of the student leaders.

They are responsi-ble for creating lesson plans, teaching the program and supervis-ing younger artists.

These teens love sharing their passion for the arts.

They gain skills of mentorship through sharing what they love to do.

Having had the opportunity to watch them in action and hear them speak about the experience, I was extremely impressed with the maturity and poise of these indi-viduals.

The program has helped secondary and elementary students build confidence and mentoring skills

within an enjoyable environment.

Younger students have built connections through the arts that will impact their tran-sition to high school.

For student lead-ers, the transition out of public school into further education and work will be enhanced by this arts-program experience.

Congratulations to the group at Beattie for taking an idea and having the courage to make it a reality.

I look forward to visiting another ses-sion in the New Year.

Photo of the year raises questions about processEditor:

Re: Photos of the year in the Dec. 26 edition, and the picture showing Yves Lacasse of KGHM Ajax hugging Kamloops-North Thompson Liberal MLA on election night.

While this may be your pick for one of the photos of the year, the cutline is totally misleading and does not explain the significance.

What was controversial about the photo was that Lake was environment minister at the time and, as such, was supposed to be neutral on the Ajax-mine issue until the environmental assessment was complete.

Lacasse is in charge of external affairs for KGHM Ajax.

As your associate editor Dale Bass pointed out in her Street Level column of May 23, 2013, Lake had been pro-fessing he was keeping an objective distance.

Accolades may not be closing, but the university is continu-ing to analyze ways to keep the award-win-ning restaurant open.

Christopher Seguin, assistant vice-president advancement for Thompson Rivers University, said con-firmation provided last month by culi-nary-arts staff of the closure was “based on wrong assump-tions.”

Ed Walker, an instructor in the culi-nary-arts faculty, con-firmed the impending shutdown, stating in an email to KTW last month it was “simply a budgetary decision.”

The student-run restaurant, which

has a focus on local, regional and sustain-able food sources, has provided students with a practical way to learn the skills taught in the classroom.

Seguin said a review continues to find ways to make it more streamlined, “to do more with less.”

A press release from the university said it is still review-ing options retailed to its culinary-arts program and the res-taurant — which has been recognized as one of the best in the country — with the aim being to have “an alternative plan in place by the fall semester of 2014.”

The release noted any changes to the program will still accommodate the needs of students in

the professional cook stream “to ensure stu-dents secure the most effective training to meet the educational goals.”

Accolades has received recognition from Where to Eat in Canada, an indepen-dent national restau-rant guide.

Jason Brown, pres-ident of the university faculty association, earlier this year told the province’s select standing committee on finance and gov-ernment services the culinary-arts depart-ment was at risk of some program clo-sures.

“TRU has had a long tradition of connecting to the community through our culinary arts, meat-cutting and hor-ticultural programs,”

he told the committee in September when it met in Kamloops.

“We have a restau-rant on campus that’s known very well across the province and it’s won some awards, even nation-ally, for the type of service and food that they put out.

“Yet faculty in these programs — despite losses of tenured colleagues through retirements, injuries and deaths due to illness — are being told to get the job done without tenured replacement or risk closure of the programs.”

The fact the new school of law at Thompson Rivers University is carrying a $1.7-million deficit is not a surprise to the institu-tion’s financial head.

In fact, Matt Milovick said, it was anticipated.

The vice-president finance said the only glitch is the business plan that would have seen the deficit repaid within five years was a bit off and it may take a couple of more years for the faculty to become sustainable financially and repay the deficit.

The law school receives no government money, he said, but is financed through tuition and, because of that, TRU administrators knew the first few years would be difficult.

As for the issue of market differentials — amounts outside the union contract that are paid to law faculty — Milovick said many people don’t understand why TRU has done this.

He said the top-ups aren’t to compensate for what the professors could still be making in a law practice, but to compete with other law schools in the country and attract top-quality lawyers to

join the faculty.“This is a hard talent

to acquire,” he said.”Milovick said the uni-

versity’s financial state is “very solid,” but will probably end its fiscal year with a small deficit.

That’s an issue for TRU, he said, because “our books roll up to government books and the government doesn’t like a deficit on its books.”

The university is in a good situation cash-wise, he said, and its quarterly report for the period end-ing Sept. 30 showed reserves of $965,000, with an annual projected reserve total of $1.9 mil-lion.

Several faculties are predicted to run in the red through to the March 31 fiscal year-end, including science ($379,258), law ($623,835), the Williams Lake campus ($235,049) and the trades and tech-nology ($192,992).

As for concerns some of the skills-dominated areas of study, like culi-nary arts, horticulture and meat-cutting, are being targeted for change, Milovick said the simple reality is all departments at TRU are being asked to do more with less.

“We are looking across the board at effi-ciencies,” he said.

“No one’s got a target on their back.”

Law school has $1.7-million defi citBut, university says, shortfall was anticipated

The city’s contract with its CUPE 900 staff members has expired.

The three-year contract, which covers nearly 500 unionized workers with the city, expired on Dec. 31.

Negotiations on a new deal began in November, but city CAO David

Trawin said the Christmas holidays put talks on hold and senior managers involved in negotiations were spend-ing the first full week of 2014 con-ducting interviews as the city seeks to replace former public works director Tracy Kyle.

Askim, the dog shot by an RCMP officer on Christmas Eve, is home again.

Jon Wilson, the city’s community-safety and enforce-ment manager, had maintained throughout the saga, which drew media attention, that the dog, a Labrador-pit bull cross, was never in danger of being euthanized despite it being taken into custody by the city’s bylaws officers.

The dog was held in the city impound, recovering from inju-ries it sustained after an officer responding to a call at a North Kamloops home shot Askim at point-blank range when the dog, restrained by someone else in the house, ran toward the officer.

Wilson said the city was following all the requirements of its dog-responsibility bylaw, which man-dates dogs seized by the city must be held for a minimum 96 hours.

Wilson said the

bylaw is a safeguard for owners so they can respond to the situa-tion.

However, Wilson added, dogs can be held longer while the investigation continues.

Wilson said Askim has no history of aggression registered with his department.

Part of the delay in returning the dog to its registered owner, Debra Milenk, came from a delay in getting all statements together.

Wilson said while he received statements from the officers and witnesses, he didn’t get one from Milenk until recently.

Milenk said she tried to deliver a state-ment to Wilson, but he was not in his office when she went there.

Milenk was con-cerned about all aspects of the situ-ation, from the way police handled the call for assistance to how her daughter was forced to the floor and was handcuffed. She said Askim was trying to come to his owner’s rescue at the time, but had been restrained.

She accused the

Mountie of over-reacting when the dog lunged at him, questioning why he used his gun rather than pepper spray, or why he simply did not move away.

Milenk was also upset Askim was not taken for treatment for about three hours, even though she offered to drive the dog to a vet.

Milenk said the dog could not be moved until a bylaws officer arrived.

Wilson said the delay in getting treat-ment for the dog after

it was shot was a result of timing.

The call from police came after-hours on Christmas Eve and a bylaws offi-cer had to be called and given the details.

The bylaws officer had to then go to the impound to get an equipped city vehicle and get to the site on Kimberley Crescent.

A veterinarian had to be located and called in.

“And this all takes some time,” Wilson said.

The dog was treated at Riverside Small

Animal Hospital, kept there for two days and then transferred to bylaws and the impound area.

Wilson said his staff followed the vet-erinarian’s instructions and the dog was back for a checkup at the vet’s late last week.

“People need to understand there are rules we have to fol-low,” Wilson said.

The city’s bylaw does not state a dog must be released after 96 hours, but that it must be held that long to allow for the owner to reclaim it and pay any fines or fees incurred.

The province’s Community Charter requires municipalities to conduct full investi-gations of any bylaws infraction and this can

also lead to a longer impound, Wilson said.

Wilson said Milenk will be required to reimburse the city for the vet fees it paid and he will make a deci-sion on impound fees when the investigation is complete.

Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said no fur-ther statements about the matter would be given to the media.

Askim, dog shot by Mountie, now back home

Askim is recovering from being shot and is back home in North Kamloops.

CATCH ALL THE SAVINGSCATCH ALL THE SAVINGSABERDEEN MALL

250-374-6611


WHEN it’s time to decide which

mix of savings vehi-cles is right for you, your options can start looking like a hearty bowl of alphabet soup.

There are Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs), Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) and

Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs).

Determining which savings plan, or com-bination of savings plans, is best depends on your personal situ-ation and your objec-tives.

Until 2009, most Canadians held their retirement savings in an RRSP, where they

could claim a deduc-tion for their contribu-tions and then defer tax on withdrawals until retirement.

The introduction of TFSAs has pro-vided another powerful savings vehicle that allows investment growth to accumulate and be withdrawn at any time tax- free.

Unlike an RRSP, you cannot claim a tax

deduction for the con-tributions you make to a TFSA.

On the plus side, if you need to withdraw money from your TFSA, you have an opportunity to replace that money because all TFSA withdrawals are added back to your unused contribution room in the following year.

If you have chil-dren or grandchildren, RESPs are another popular option.

The subscriber (or contributor) makes contributions on behalf of a beneficiary (the child).

The contributions are not deductible or taxable on withdrawal.

The growth is tax-deferred until with-drawal, at which time it can be taxed in the beneficiary’s hands if he or she enrolls in a qualifying educational program.

Contributions to a child’s RESP qualify for the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG)1 and, if your family’s income is below certain thresh-olds, you may also qualify for the Canada Learning Bond (CLB).

THE RETIREMENT DILEMMA

If you are saving for retirement, then you may be torn between an RRSP and a TFSA.

Ideally, you would maximize contribu-tions to both, but if that’s not an option here are some thoughts to consider.

Whether the best choice is to save in an RRSP or a TFSA depends on your sav-ings needs, as well as your current and expected future finan-cial situation and income level.

Generally, an RRSP is used for saving for retirement, while a TFSA can be used for both saving for retire-ment and other shorter- term purchases.

Because TFSA withdrawals are added back to your available TFSA contribution room in the following year, there is very little downside to using your TFSA savings for mid-sized to large purchases.

If you are in a low tax bracket, saving in a TFSA may be more advantageous than saving in an RRSP

since TFSA withdraw-als have no impact on federal income-tested benefits and cred-its such as child tax benefits and Old Age Security.

On the other hand, RRSPs may be a better option if your tax rate at the time you con-tribute is higher than it will be when you with-draw your savings.

You’ll benefit from a tax deduction when you make your contri-bution and withdrawals will be taxed at your lower future rate.

If the reverse is true, a TFSA can pro-vide better results.

Contributions to an RESP for a child under the age of 18 qualify for the CESG, which pays 20 per cent of the annual contribu-tions you make, up to a maximum of $500 per year, per benefi-ciary (or a maximum of $1,000 if there is unused grant room from a previous year), to a lifetime limit of $7,200.

You may be enti-tled to an enhanced CESG if your family’s income is below cer-tain thresholds.

EDUCATION SAVINGS CHOICES

If you are saving for your child’s education, then you are probably weighing the pros and cons of an RESP or a TFSA.

For children under age 18, RESPs are the preferred savings vehicle because of the CESG.

For children over age 18, the CESG no longer applies so you may want to help them start their own TFSAs.

If you want to maintain control over the funds, then you could save for their education in your own TFSA instead.

Study says province’s grizzlies worth more aliveBy Tom Fletcher

BLACK PRESStfl [email protected]

B.C.’s Coastal First Nations are quick to endorse a new U.S. study of the value of bear viewing in their traditional territories.

Kitasoo/Xai’xais Coun. Doug Neasloss said the study by the Washington D.C.-based Centre for Responsible Travel supports what the northwest coast aboriginal communities have been saying for years: “Bears are worth more alive than they are dead.”

The study calculated that, in 2012, bear viewing in what is now popularly known as the Great Bear Rainforest generated 12 times the visitor revenue as bear hunting.

It counts 510 people employed in bear viewing companies compared to 12 jobs in

guided hunting.The study is the

latest salvo in a battle over trophy hunting in B.C.

In November, the province proposed to expand its traditional grizzly hunt to include Cariboo and Kootenay regions that were pre-viously closed due to population concerns.

The Coastal First Nations, which includes Haida, Heiltsuk and seven other North Coast communities, has asserted its unresolved treaty rights in logging and pipeline protests, as well as in opposing bear hunting.

In 2012, the group announced a ban on trophy hunting for bears in its territories.

The province has continued to issue “harvesting” permits, including one well-publicized trophy shot by NHL player Clayton

Stoner in May 2013, who took only the head and paws.

The U.S. study, funded by Tides Canada and Nature Conservancy USA, suggested B.C. has overstated the value of its guide-outfitter busi-ness to remote econo-mies.

The province tracks wildlife populations and records human-related deaths, includ-ing vehicle accidents and “conflict kills,” where ranchers or con-servation officers shoot bears to protect homes or livestock.

The U.S. study reports there were 74 grizzly hunters from outside B.C. in 2012, 80 per cent of them from the U.S.

From 1976 to 2009, the province issued hunting permits for an average of 297 grizzly bears a year.

Bear-viewing companies on B.C.’s remote North Coast are growing as hunting declines, according to a U.S. analysis. Douglas Brown/Centre for Responsible Travel

Crosswords and reading were her daily ‘passions; - consequently she was up to date on current aff airs. She was our role model in her quest to take care of her body and mind and worked hard to stay fi t and active. After spending her early years of marriage at home raising our family, her primary activity became golf. She joined Dad on the links and became an excellent golfer! She enjoyed the fairways and greens at the Kamloops Golf and Country Club as well as spending many a winter golfi ng down south. Family was always important to mom and when she was not golfi ng she was a sought after babysitter for her grandchildren. She taught us to treat others with respect, to care for others and take care of our own health to lead a happy life! She and dad lived this way and set a great example for us all as they recently celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary.

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.

Survey the StormIt might be far-fetched to suppose the Kamloops

Storm can improve on a 13-goal performance, but the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League squad will give it a shot this weekend.

Kamloops, coming off a 13-3 drubbing of the hometown Revelstoke Grizzlies on Jan. 3, is host-ing a pair of games at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre.

On Saturday, Jan. 11, the Kimberley Dynamiters are in town, with game time set for 7 p.m.

The Storm square off with the Sicamous Eagles at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 12.

Behold the BlazersThe road-weary Kamloops Blazers will play a

pair of Western Hockey League tilts this weekend.Kamloops, in its fifth consecutive away game, is

playing the hometown Spokane Chiefs on Friday, Jan. 10, before bussing home to the Tournament Capital to lock horns with the Prince George Cougars on Saturday, Jan. 11.

The Blazers were last in action on Tuesday, Jan. 7, when they fell 2-1 to the hometown Tri-City Americans.

Kamloops sits last in the Western Conference with a record of 10-28-2-2.

Back the PackCanada West volleyball returns to Kamloops this

weekend.Both the men’s and women’s TRU WolfPack

FOR NOW, it appears Ultimate Fighting

Championship (UFC) announcer Bruce Buffer will not get the chance to call the Little Boss’s name.

That moniker, awarded to him by his Kamloops Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (KBJJ) clubmates, belongs to 14-year-old South Kamloops secondary student Liam Moss, who earned 28 gold medals in 2013, win-ning titles in Alberta, B.C., Washington State,

Oregon and California.“I like to watch it

[UFC] and maybe I’ll train it when I’m a bit older, but I wouldn’t want to compete in it just due to all the injury involved,” said Liam, who has already been invited to train at sev-eral well-known MMA gyms.

Liam was beside his father, Randy, when the father-and-son combi-nation were being inter-viewed by KTW.

“I admire the MMA athletes and I too am a big fan and we’ve met a lot of big names in MMA, but I’m kind of hoping he sticks with the grappling for the

same reason that we see football players get-ting into trouble with those repeated head blows,” Randy said. “There’s a cost to it.”

Liam has become a grappling expert and it’s in that discipline where there might be a future career, should he remain stalwart in his decision to avoid the bright lights of the UFC or other similar fighting promotions.

“I’d like to continue to study and attend training camps from leaders in the sport, locally, provincially, nationally and interna-tionally,” the Grade 9 student said.

“I want to compete all around the world, like Europe and Asia, and develop creden-tials to teach, become a coach and support others with a positive lifestyle.”

There is a premium put on discipline diver-sity among today’s UFC stars, with many of the sport’s best competitors being well-versed in jiu-jitsu, grappling, kickboxing, Muay Thai and other fighting styles.

“I can see him in the future being an authority where people would be coming to him to add the grap-pling into their game,”

said Randy, a former judoka.

“It’s always a pos-sibility [that Liam decides to go the UFC route] and I’ll sup-port him in whatever way I can, but I think his goals are probably to be that excellent top-level grappler, as opposed to being some-one that crosses over.”

Randy might want to sit Liam in front of a TV and play on a loop Anderson Silva’s grue-some shin-shattering injury, which occurred at UFC 168 in Las Vegas on Dec. 28. That might scare him away from the octagon.

Liam Moss forced this opponent to submit at the Sport Jiu Jitsu International Federation Worlds Tournament last month in Los Angeles. The win earned him a gold medal — one of two he claimed at the competition. Moss earned 28 first-place finishes in 2013. Kristensphoto.com

Jacob Bigham’s words will likely be music to Todd Graham’s ears.

“He was my coach and he pret-ty much is the reason why I’m at Butte,” said Bigham, who recently won national and state junior col-lege football championships with the Butte College Roadrunners of Oroville, Calif.

“He trained me and taught me just about everything I know about working out and football.”

Nevermind music, those words should sound like the most beau-tiful symphony to any mentor, including the NorKam Saints’

bench boss, who is now without a team to coach with the North Shore school having lost its foot-ball program in the re-shuffling of School District 73.

In his Grade 10 season, Bigham, a 6-foot-2, 280-pound offensive lineman, came to Graham and announced his desire to play football professionally.

“I told him he’d better not miss a day,” Graham said.

“If I find myself standing here in the weight room by myself, then I’m not going to coach him anymore.

“He never missed a day.”Graham, a former Roadrunner

himself, drove Bigham to Butte for a training camp when his prized

hog was still in Grade 11.Bigham graduated from

NorKam and tried out for the Roadrunners before the 2012 season. He cracked the practice squad and red-shirted throughout the campaign.

In 2013, he started all 12 regular-season games playing right guard on an offensive line that helped block the Roadrunners to a 28-13 vic-tory over Fullerton College in the state championship tilt on Dec. 14 in front of about 3,000 fans at Cowan Stadium in Butte Valley.

“Both sides of the field were packed and both end zones, too,” Bigham said. “It

was cool.”The state champs

were later voted co-National Junior College Athletic Association champions, along with Eastern Mississippi.

Bigham has one more year of eligibility left with the Roadrunners and he is look-ing to attract the attention of NCAA Division 1 scouts.

“I’d really like to go somewhere warm,” Bigham quipped.

“But yeah, that’s the dream right now, a scholarship with

a Div. 1 school.”Bigham’s influences are not

limited to Graham; in fact, the Kamloops product thanked local football backer Dino Bernardo for his help over the years.

Any teachers looking for inspi-ration should look no further than Bigham’s story — and the coach who played such a big part in it: “NorKam was probably the most important thing in my development because I ran into Todd Graham,”

the powerhouse lineman said.For the mentor, his reward is

seeing a pupil do well.“The ability to open doors for

kids that want it . . . this is part of the reward,” Graham said.

“It’s not for everybody. Not everybody can train that hard. Every day we trained hard.

“I anticipate that he’ll play in the CFL and I just hope that someday I can go to BC Place and watch him.”

KMBA product wins scholarshipSteven Rintoul,

a Kamloops Minor Baseball Association product, has been award-ed a $500 scholarship from the B.C. Minor Baseball Association (BCMBA).

The former Kamloops RiverDog, now a member of the McGill University Redmen of Montreal, is the second Rintoul to receive the award, given to BCMBA graduating players who achieve at least a B average and demonstrate good citizenship, personality and leadership in a non-playing capacity.

Rintoul’s older brother, Colin, earned the scholarship in 2012. Four graduating Kamloops RiverDogs have won the money.

The younger Rintoul played catcher and third baseman with the Dogs, winning a provincial title in 2011, before cracking the Redmen’s starting roster in his freshman campaign.

Going to the GamesThe Kamloops

Gymnastics/Trampoline Centre hosted the Zone

2 Invitational, a trial for the B.C. Winter Games, on Sunday, Jan. 5, at the Tournament Capital Centre.

Sun Peaks Resort will not be seeking repayment from skiers and snowboarders who needed to be rescued during the holiday period last month.

The resort has a policy to recover its costs if it has to use resources in a search outside its

ski-area boundaries.Sun Peaks gen-

eral manager Darcy Alexander said the ski-ers and snowboarders will be asked to use what happened to them to help educate the public on the risks of ignoring the boundar-ies and being unpre-pared.

Alexander is hope-ful those rescued will also make donations to Kamloops Search and Rescue (KSR), which handled the bulk of the searches.

KSR is a volunteer group and its spokes-man, Alan Hobler, already said its mem-bers do not believe in

charging people to be rescued.

During the Christmas period, KSR was involved in a search for a trio of 14-year-olds that had gone missing, locating them in an area rated high for avalanche.

KSR also found two sisters who had

become lost trying to go from one part of the resort to another, an American woman who

had become separated from her ski partner by a grove of trees, end-ing up in an unfamiliar

area, and three other skiers who had become lost in the back coun-try.

SPORTS

The rolling Moss duo gath-ered momentum in 2013, empty-ing gas tanks — and Randy’s wallet — on trips across North America.

Travelling across the con-tinent to attend tournaments allowed Liam to meet Anderson Silva and several other high-profile fighters, including Kenny Florian and Vanderlei Silva.

There is plenty of good com-petition locally and across the country, but there is no place better to find recognition — and the best competition — than in California.

“It’s the epicentre,” Randy said. “A lot of the Brazilians, the guys who were instrumental in exporting mixed martial arts out of Brazil 20-plus years ago, they settled in California.

“There’s a substantial invest-ment in time and finances, but for Liam to be able to compete at this level, it’s necessary to go to the bigger metropolitan areas.”

Randy and Liam have also frequented Dallas, Tex., in years past.

Next up for Liam are the Pan American Kids Jiu-Jitsu Championships at California State University in Carson on Feb. 16.

He and Randy will then sad-dle up and head to Montreal for a World Jiu-Jitsu Championships qualifying tournament in Montreal on Feb. 22.

Should Moss win in La Belle Province, he would be in line for an all-expenses paid trip to the world championships, which run from April 16 to April 19 in Abu Dhabi.

Liam honed his craft at KBJJ, Aberdeen Judo Academy and the North Kamloops, South Kamloops and Valleyview sec-ondary school wrestling clubs.

Anyone who helped the Little Boss along the way will be pay-ing close attention in 2014.

AT A FAMILY dinner a few months ago, Neil, Reid

and Kimberly Perry tried to talk about any-thing but music.

“We couldn’t do it,” Neil said.

“We were sitting there in silence, so we talked music.”

It’s what the Tennessee-born sib-lings — country fans know them as The Band Perry — have been doing for 15 years and it’s as much a part of their everyday lives as is eating.

Success hit the sib-lings in a big way in the last few years with their first single, Hip to My Heart, released in August, and their self-titled EP, released the next year and con-taining songs like If I Die Young, You Lie and All Your Life — all of which were at the top of country-music charts.

The album, pro-duced by Nathan Chapman (best known for his work with Taylor Swift), was recorded in Nashville,

a city Chapman said is different from other places for musicians to record, describing it to Music Radar’s web-site as “a real family town.”

Neil and Reid agreed.

“It’s very blue collar there, where people go to regular jobs — musi-cian or writer, it’s your job,” Reid said.

“You go to work, you see the same people. You’re in com-petition with them, but you’re also celebrating their successes.”

Neil said part of recording country songs in Nashville is listening to all the stories being told, through music, by other performers.

“That’s something the three of us are try-ing to bring to our music in real-life sto-ries.”

The band’s most recent release, Pioneer, contains more of those stories, songs like Mother Like Mine, inspired by the siblings’ mom, or Back To Me Without You, written at a time when Kimberly was experiencing some relationship issues.

“We were there in

the back, telling her to get back to what you do,” Reid said.

They’re on tour to promote Pioneer and kick it off today (Thursday, Jan. 9) in Penticton, heading to Kamloops for a show on Saturday, Jan. 10, at Interior Savings Centre.

There’s a reason the band chose Canada to start the tour, Reid said.

“Canada’s always supported us,” he said.

“We came here years ago with Keith Urban

and it was great and we wanted to show it [the show] first.”

It’s not classic coun-try, but music with a rock-and-roll edge, Neil said.

“We grew up listen-ing to Queen and Patsy Cline.”

The trio went to Rick Rubin, known more for working with rockers than country artists, to help with their sound, and now refer to Rubin as their song doctor.

While they love per-forming, there are spe-cific moments that are special to them in this show, the brothers said.

For Reid, it’s the moment midway through “when we break it down to just the three of us. It’s kind of acoustic and you get a

chance to see the three of us for who we are.”

Brother Neil has a distinctly different spe-cial moment.

“It’s the first song, Done It, and everyone puts their fists in the air,” he said.

“It’s a fun time.”Tickets for the

7:30 p.m. show, which includes Easton Corbin and Lindsay Ell, are available at the venue box office 300 Lorne St., or at ticketmaster.ca.

Tickets range from $38.25 to $77, plus taxes and service charges.

Chart-topping family country trio to play ISCThe Band Perry — Reid, Kimberly and Neil, from left — has always had a good response when playing Canada in the past.

Agent: SMC Consulting, 1582 Lawrence Avenue, Penticton, BC, V2A 3C1

Tel/Fax: 250-492-6193, email: [email protected]

The purpose of the proposed multi-agency Pest Management Plan (PMP) is to manage invasive

alien plants and/or noxious weeds on provincial Crown land in the southern interior of B.C.

The PMP applies to areas located within the Thompson Nicola, Cariboo, Central Coast, Squamish

Lillooet, Columbia Shuswap, North Okanagan, Central Okanagan, Okanagan Similkameen, Koote-

nay Boundary, Central Kootenay and East Kootenay Regional Districts.

The PMP applies to areas in the vicinity of the communities of Bella Coola, Alexis Creek, Quesnel,

Williams Lake, 100 Mile House, Lillooet, Clinton, Cache Creek, Blue River, Clearwater, Kamloops,

Salmon Arm, Revelstoke, Golden, Merritt, Vernon, Kelowna, Penticton, Oliver, Osoyoos, Princeton,

Grand Forks, Castlegar, Kaslo, Nakusp, Nelson, Trail, Salmo, Creston,

Cranbrook, Invermere, Fernie and Sparwood.

The pest management methods proposed for use include mechanical, cultural and biological

control and the use of

herbicides within the area to which the PMP applies. The common name and examples of the

trade names of the herbicides proposed for use under this plan include aminopyralid (Milestone),

clopyralid (Lontrel), dicamba (Vanquish), diflufenzopyr (Overdrive), glyphosate (Vantage Plus

Max), imazapyr (Arsenal), mecoprop-p (Dyvel DX), metsulfuron methyl (Escort), picloram (Tordon

include wick/wipe-on, injection, squirt bottle, cut surface, and foliar applications using backpack

or vehicle mounted sprayer.

The proposed duration of the PMP is from May 1, 2014 to April 30, 2019.

A draft copy of the proposed PMP and map of the proposed treatment area may be examined in

Sabrina Weeks is pretty sure Cookie Monster is a relative.

How else, the Kamloops singer asked, can she explain her addiction to cookies — treats she calls her “kryptonite?”

However, unlike many who made los-ing weight and getting fit their New Year’s resolution, when Weeks adopted it, she added a twist.

She’s encouraging people to pledge money based on the number of pounds she will lose this year as she follows a three-point program at Kamloops Fit Centre.

Weeks, lead singer for Sabrina Weeks and Swing Cat Bounce, wants to lose 80 pounds this year, a goal she said is attainable, but she

wants to feel account-able for this determina-tion, to set a reason beyond her own health and fitness to encourage her to get through it.

She chose the Breast Cancer Society of Canada because, she said, this journey really had its beginnings when she was diagnosed with the disease in 2011.

At first, Weeks lost weight but, between the chemotherapy and the steroids she was pre-scribed, she eventually hit the 248.5 pounds that registered on her scales as 2014 arrived.

Hormone therapy she required put her body into an early menopausal state.

“And, things I had done before to lose weight, nothing worked,” Weeks said.

“I worked really hard and just lost eight pounds and I’d get frustrated and put it back on.”

Gaining weight is difficult for her, Weeks said, joking “I can gain weight just by thinking about it. It’s very frus-trating.”

She’s signed for the the fitness centre’s Biggest Loser pro-gram and what owner Mikkie Nettles calls the triangle of success — cardio, weight and diet, although she said she prefers to use the term “food plan” over “diet” because her clients are given just that, a plan to eat better.

Weeks plans to hit the exercise machines at the Notre Dame Road centre at least four times a week and will be writing a blog track-ing her progress.

KTW plans to follow her project and update readers on how she is doing.

The blog and a link on the fundraiser can be found at sabrinaweeks.

com, where, under the weight-loss tab, there is a link to a cancer-society portal created for her for people to pledge donations based on pounds lost.

“I’m coming for-ward with this really obscene weight,” she said, “because I hope it gives others the nerve to come forward and be proud and say ‘This is who I am and this is what I’m doing about it.’”

She’s also aware of a potential link between weight and cancer recurrence, making the project deeply personal for her, as well.

In the meantime, when it was time to meet with Nettles to talk about food, Weeks brought her husband, Mike Hilliard, along with her.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, you may have to work a little harder to get what you want, but the results will be worth it. Focus your attention on making a name for yourself in the business sector.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21There is no stopping you when you have a goal in mind, Taurus. Although you may be ambitious, just be mindful of other people in your path as you go.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Be honest with your feelings this week, Gemini. Someone close to you is interested in learning more about the way you operate. This could strengthen a friendship.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Don’t bite off more than you can chew, Cancer. Oth-erwise you could be left with a long to-do list and not enough energy to get the job done. Consider paring down tasks.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, although you may have rest and recreation on the brain, celestial forces are pushing you in the op-posite direction. Busy days are ahead, so rest later.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22You have put too much effort into something to abandon your plans now, Virgo. Rethink quitting early on. Maybe a friend can carry you over the fi nish line.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Surround yourself with lots of friends when you can-not have family near, Libra. This will help keep feelings of loneliness from creeping in during quiet moments.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, you may need to concede to a difference of opinion this week when you simply cannot resolve something amicably. Redirect attention on a craft or pastime.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, sometimes you tend to be brutally honest with others. While honesty is an admirable trait, this week you may need to censor what you say to avoid hurt feelings.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Taking a circuitous route will land you at the fi nish a little behind others, Capricorn. But you will get to the end nevertheless. Trust your instincts with this one.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, you probably won’t be able to rest your mind until you square away all of your fi nances and make a budget for the new year. Take on the job this week.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Introspection leads you on a mini-quest to fi nd a creative outlet, Pisces. Play to your strengths and some ideas will surface.

THE YEAR 2014 is still

very young.My personal

desire and prayer for the 350 or so days ahead is to be renewed daily by its freshness and to keep an eternal out-look on it.

Time does fly and eternity is always current.

I am told that, on the three archway entrances to a cathe-dral in Milan, Italy, inscribed are the fol-lowing messages:

• Under the sign of a rose flower, it’s written: “That which pleases us is for a moment.”

• The sign of a cross bears the inscription under-neath: “That which troubles us is but for moment.”

• On the central arch are just the words: “Only that which is eternal remains.”

Writing to the church at the pagan city of Corinth, the Apostle Paul stated: “. . . We recognize no one accord-ing to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold new things have come.”

Into this realm of radical spiritual new-ness each of us can be brought.

Jesus expressed this imperatively when he said, “You must be born again.”

The words “in

Christ,” or “in union with Christ” might be puzzling to us.

To many, the words are mean-ingless, which, of course, indicates the new life has never invaded them.

Yet the same peo-ple apparently know what it means when we say “you are in politics, in law, in business or in adver-tising.”

In principle, it is not otherwise with conversion and spiri-tually changed life.

The person who is “in Christ” is the person who has decided for Christ.

For him, there is not a dozen saviours, but one — Jesus — crucified and risen.

Martin Luther said it vigorously: “The only faith which makes a Christian is that which casts itself on God for life or death.”

Such a decision and such a com-mitment opens the floodgate of the life that flows from Christ — and a new creation begins.

In the center of this whole expres-sion of change is a new relationship to God — reconcilia-tion — which has come through our acceptance of His Son as our mediator and saviour.

I think of having read of two quite opposing instances of conversion — one

that of an influential layman, the other of a university girl.

The layman was a friend and helper of D.L. Moody, the famous revivalist preacher.

His name was Daniel McWilliams, an elder in a church.

Not only did he constantly work to win people to Christ, but he also gave gen-erously to open mis-sion doors in Korea.

Yet this man, who saw scores of other men spiritually reborn, had no recol-lection of his own conversion.

Although he did not have a recollec-tion that went back to the event of conver-sion, he did get an assurance of faith that proclaimed the fact of conversion eventually.

Instead of grow-ing up as a wanderer from Christ, he grew up as a follower in his later years.

The college girl came to me one day after I had taken a Bible-study class.

She said some-thing in the study had prompted her to relate a chapter from her spiritual experience.

The recital that fol-lowed was in some respects shocking.

For example, there was a period in her middle teens when she had been so self-willed and defiant toward God that more than once, while lis-tening to a preacher’s appeal, she prayed to the devil for strength to resist Christ’s call.

But, the day came when “the Love that would not let her go,” broke through her resistance, captured her heart and trans-formed her life.

Through surrender

to Christ, the God centre that every life needs became hers and a new dawn spread across her sky.

Let this year bring a new beginning, where we find the crucified Jesus and a new relationship to

God.This year, let us

stand no longer con-demned, but forgiven; no longer prodigals,

but sons and daugh-ters in the Father’s house.

GLOBAL VIEWS

THE GOOD THING about

volcanoes is that you know where they are.

If you don’t want to get hurt, just stay away from them.

The bad thing about supervolca-noes is that you may know where they are, but there’s no getting away from them.

They only blow up very rarely but, when they do, the whole world is affected.

They can cover an entire continent with ash and lower temperatures sharply worldwide for years.

“This is some-thing that, as a spe-cies, we will even-tually have to deal with. It will happen in the future,” said Wim Malfait of ETH Zurich (the Swiss Federal insti-tute of Technology), lead author of a

recent paper in Nature Geoscience that says supervol-cano eruptions don’t even need an earth-quake as a trigger.

“You could com-pare it to an asteroid impact,” he said.

“The risk at any given time is small but, when it happens, the consequences will be catastrophic.”

I know you already have enough to worry about, what with climate change and asteroid strikes and the like — but I’m afraid there’s more.

Volcanoes and supervolcanoes both involve magma (mol-ten rock deep under-ground) that breaks through to the surface but, in practice, they are quite different.

Volcanoes gradu-ally build themselves into mountains by repeated, relatively modest eruptions of lava.

Supervolcanoes are a single massive explosion of magma rising to the surface

over a huge area — and blasting at least a thousand cubic kilo-metres of ash into the atmosphere.

How massive? The largest recent

volcanic eruption was Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, which blew about 10 cubic kilometres of ash and gas into the upper atmosphere in 1991.

The result was a 0.4 C drop in average global temperature for a year or so.

But, the eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano 640,000 years ago was 100 times as big.

It covered the entire North American continent with ash.

Just like an aster-oid strike, it threw massive amounts of dust and ash into the stratosphere, where it stayed for years, blocking out much of the sunlight.

(It doesn’t rain in the stratosphere, so the debris stays there

for a long time.)As a result, the

average global tem-perature fell by as much as 10 C for a number of years.

It was temporary but, while it lasted, there was a steep fall in the amount of plant material growing on the planet and a cor-responding collapse in animal popula-tions.

There were no mass extinctions, as far as we can tell, and fairly soon the plant and animal species repopulated their for-mer habitats — but, it certainly spoiled the party for the equiva-lent of several human generations.

Homo sapiens was not around 640,000 years ago, but people like us certainly were around when another supervolcano, Toba in northern Sumatra,

blew about 73,000 years ago.

The event has been tentatively linked with a “bottleneck” in human evolution at that time in which, according to some genetic studies, the human population was squeezed down to only about 1,000.

This hypothesis has been challenged by a recent study of the sediments in Lake Malawi by an Oxford University-led team.

They did not find any layer in the sediments with much reduced vegetation, which you would expect to see if there were a long-lasting cooling of the cli-mate.

This is puzzling, since Toba was the biggest supervolcanic blast in 2.5-million years. It boosted two to three times as much dust and ash into the air as the Yellowstone eruption.

But, only a couple of years of severely diminished sunlight would still cause catastrophic popula-tion losses in both the plant and the animal kingdoms.

Even a relatively short “volcanic winter” would be a huge catastrophe for human beings.

How many people would die if such a catastrophe happened now?

It is unlikely even half of the world’s seven-billion people would survive two or three years of severe hunger — and civi-lization itself would take a terrible beat-ing.

Nor is there any-thing useful you can do to prepare for such a catastrophe, unless you are able to stockpile two or three years’ worth of food for the entire world.

At the moment, our global food reserve will feed the population for only three or four months, so that is not likely to happen.

If it does not, then we just have to hope that the calamity doesn’t happen — knowing we probably will not have much warning if it does.

What Malfait’s team discovered is

that the detonation of a supervolcano is entirely dependent on the temperature of the liquid rock in the underground cham-ber.

As it gets hotter, it gets less dense than the solid rock around it.

At this point, it will behave just like an air-filled balloon or football that is held underwater, trying to pop up to the surface.

Eventually, the magma forces its way to the surface over an area of hundreds of square kilome-tres, expands and explodes.

On average, such an explosion only happens once every 100,000 years but, in practice, it could happen at any time, with as little as a few weeks’ warning.

Just thought you’d like to know.

Sleep well.

AUTO MARKET

Honda Aircraft Company has announced two significant milestones in the development of the world’s most advanced light jet.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued the first Type Inspection Authorization (TIA) certificate for the HondaJet and also has certified Honda Aircraft Company’s customer service facility as a Part 145 repair sta-tion on Dec. 20, 2013.

TIA is a pivotal point in the development and certification of a new aircraft.

Nose-to-tail FAA review during this final testing phase will pave the way for HondaJet type certi-fication and first customer deliveries to HondaJet customers.

The Honda Aircraft customer service facility is located in Greensboro, N.C.

The FAA Part 145 certification will initially enable this facility to perform component-level repairs and will then expand in 2014 to include heavy aircraft maintenance and major repair ser-vices to complement the HondaJet dealer network.

HondaJet gets go-aheadThe HondaJet light jet aircraft has moved closer to full production and features

several innovations that combine to make it the fastest, most spacious and most

fuel-efficient jet in its class.

AUTO MARKET

The automotive compressed natural gas vehicles market is a dynamic and capital-intensive industry.

Gas systems fitted as original equipment follow the global demand for new vehicles and the cyclical nature of this business.

In addition, demand for gas systems closely tracks the price of alternative fuels with the key driver for most purchases being the savings over gasoline or diesel.

In recent years the rise of hybrid systems and the increasing choice of battery vehicles has further widened the choice of alternative energy sources for passenger cars.

There is considerable variation at country and regional level in the demand for natural gas vehicles and this report will explains the reasons for this.

It is estimated global sales of compressed natu-ral gas vehicles reached 1.5 million in 2013.

Aftermarket systems have traditionally been the way cars were converted to run on compressed natural gas but as awareness of the benefits of natu-ral gas vehicles grows more manufacturers are fol-lowing companies like Fiat and Volvo and offering factory fitted options.

Other manufacturers are offering compressed natural gas (CNG) preparatory work at the factory and approved specialists then fit out the car.

In the three main automotive markets of the world (China, the U.S. and the European Union) car types and in turn vehicle sizes vary with US cars in general being bigger than those in China and the European Union.

In turn each market has different growth rates and drivers of demand which will be covered in more detail in this report.

China, which since 2009 has been the largest producer and consumer of passenger cars in the world, has thus become of critical importance for all manufacturers.

The global influence of the Chinese consumer has been felt throughout the automotive business and this report will examine the effects globally as the Chinese producers have first satisfied home grown demand and then turned to global exports.

However, natural gas vehicles have not to date proven popular in China, however officials are focusing on the big picture — air pollution, energy security and economic growth.

Natural-gas powered vehicles gaining in popularity

Jaguar has announced it will launch a new brand and product advertising campaign, themed “British Villains,” for the launch of the new Jaguar F-Type Coupe.

The campaign will include the brand’s first television com-mercial produced for running in the broadcast of the Super Bowl.

The ad is scheduled to have its broadcast debut on Fox dur-ing the second half of Super Bowl XLVIII.

The campaign features a 30-second spot and a wide range of digital assets and executions and will play off the idea that Brits have long made the best

villains in landmark films, com-bining intelligence with charm, restlessness with calm, and always confident.

In the world of pop culture, villains disrupt the status quo and challenge the establishment, while living one step ahead of, and better than, the pack.

The campaign asks the ques-tion, “Have you ever noticed how in Hollywood movies, all the villains are played by Brits?”

Academy Award-winning British film and television direc-tor Tom Hooper in London is filming the Jaguar campaign, which will feature renowned British actors.

Jaguar’s Super Bowl spot will look inside the world of British villains in film.

AUTO MARKET

A total of six Honda and Acura models, the most of any auto maker, have received the high-est possible safety rat-ing of Top Safety Pick+ from the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) under its more challenging tech-nology requirements in guidelines implemented for the 2014 model year.

Four 2014 Honda models were named a Top Safety Pick+ including the Accord Sedan and Coupe; Civic Sedan; and Odyssey, which is the only mini-van yet to earn this des-ignation.

The Civic Coupe was named a Top Safety Pick. Additionally, two 2014 Acura models, the new MDX and the RLX each achieved Top Safety Pick+ status with the TL earning a Top Safety Pick+ rating.

The IIHS Top Safety Pick rating recognizes vehicles that do the best job of protecting vehi-cle occupants involved in front, side and rear crashes, plus rollover and small overlap front crashes based on perfor-mance in the Institute’s tests.

Under this year’s more challenging requirements, the IIHS is using the Top Safety Pick+ designation to recognize vehicles that not only performed well in its crash tests but also are equipped with technologies that help prevent or mitigate front-to-rear collisions.

Front collision pre-vention, which includes both warning systems and automatic braking, is intended to help inat-tentive drivers avoid rear-ending a stopped or slower-moving vehicle in front of them.

Honda’s 2014 Top Safety Pick+ vehicles offer a broad range of active and passive safe-ty features along with available leading-edge safety and driver assis-tive technologies like the Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system.

FCW uses a camera or radar mounted in the upper portion of the windshield to detect a vehicle ahead.

Audible and visuals warnings alert the driver

when the system deter-mines that a collision with a detected vehicle or object is likely.

Six top picks for Honda Three Dodge sedans named top picks

The 2014 Dodge Dart, Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 sedans have achieved Top Safety Pick ratings from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS).

The announcement marks the sixth time the IIHS has com-

mended the Avenger and 200 mid-size sedans.

Meanwhile, the insurance-industry organization has hailed the Dart compact sedan each year since it arrived on the market in 2012.

All three vehicles feature

significant advanced-tech-nology steel content, which enhances their structural integ-rity.

The Dart’s 68 percent content ratio of high-strength steel is among the highest in the indus-try.

RIVER CITY NISSAN2405 East Trans Canada Hwy, Kamloops, BC

Tel: (250) 377-3800


AS OF THIS MORNING, there’s a bottle of milk on the kitchen floor.

It was on the coun-ter, lidless.

I reached over my bowl of oatmeal for the jar of brown sugar.

My wrist clipped the bottle and — sploosh!

I walked away.For a moment, or several

moments, I considered leaving the milk there as a permanent art installation.

And, sure, maybe, just maybe, while I was in the other room, rejecting the cliché of what had just happened, I snif-fled just a little.

Because, despite what the sweep-it-under-the-ruggers of the would have us believe, cry-ing over spilled milk is perfectly appropriate.

It’s natural, even.

In fact, when people don’t cry after some-thing is spilled, spoiled or otherwise lost, I worry they are actually closet sociopaths who should be monitored with electronic ankle bracelets and made to wear bright hats that advise the rest of us to stand back while they go about hiding the evidence of life’s mul-tiple messes.

OK, so maybe I overreacted.But, to be honest, 2013 was a

spilled milk kind of a year.The whole year.All of it.And that’s what I was think-

ing about as actual milk began to soak into my socks.

Now, as long as we’re mak-ing metaphor out of milk on the floor, it would also be safe

to say the contents of our fridge and pantry had, month by month, taken a cue from the milk and leaped off the shelves like so many grocery gre-nades.

Sploosh!The ketchup.Poof!The flour.Goosh-fizz!Bottles of pop,

pre-pressurized by being shaken before falling.

Down they went — each jar, each bottle and each paper bag representing a thing that had seemed secure until the centre of gravity shifted as we moved.

It doesn’t matter what those things actually were.

In fact, since I’m willing to bet a whole bunch of people reading the paper today had a

2013 that can be compared to a floor covered in condi-ments, it’s probably better that we all take a moment to look back and screech at the individual sights of it.

Or maybe not.Honestly, I don’t know.All I know is, there are

days (and today is one of them) and years (and last year was one of them) when I’d rather sell the house and move than begin the process of sopping, mopping and scrub-bing.

Nonetheless, today, glad that the shelves are still standing, I’m getting down on my knees, which is the only posture I can think to take as I look into a new year while still soggy from the spillage of the last.

I have to — because the longer I leave the milk on the floor, in a puddle next to a

heating vent, the sooner that milk is going to turn itself into cheese.

h ti t th th t

8 cups (2 litres) whole or “Standard” milk

1 cup plain whole milk yogurt

1/2 cup whipping cream2 tsp white vinegar1 tsp flaked kosher saltpinch ground nutmeg1 bay leaf

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, whisk together milk, yogurt, cream, vinegar, salt and nutmeg. Add bay leaf. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer one to two minutes, until curdled. Remove and discard bay leaf

Strain mixture through a jelly bag

(or a few layers of cheesecloth) into a large bowl. Hang bag and allow to drain for 15 minutes, then gently squeeze out excess liquid. Discard liquid.

Transfer cheese to a bowl. Cover

and refrigerate. Use in recipes such as lasagna, gnocchi, cannoli, dips, spreads and sauces.

Where to find it: Whole or “Standard” milk has 3.25% milk fat. While milk in Canada is usually homogenized, a few brands, such as D Dutchmen Dairy, sell “Standard” milk, where the cream rises to the top. It’s a nice choice for home-made cheese.

We should all cry over spilled milk

LOCAL VIEWS

What’s making Mental Health news So far in 2014?

A link between zinc and depression?

A new study by Toronto’s Sunnybrook Hospital and financed by the Ontario Mental Health Foundation has given stronger evidence to the belief that low levels of zinc are related to depression in people.

Zinc does a number of good things for the body and it is not hard for medical profession-als to see why there could be a link between zinc and depression — not just as a cause of depression, but also as a consequence of depres-sion.

Low levels of zinc are also found in people with cardiovascular dis-ease and guess what?

Depression has been linked with cardiovas-cular disease for many years.

Before you go out and buy zinc supple-ments, slow down.

Too much of any mineral is also unhelp-ful and you should consult your doctor for advice (and maybe some lab work) before assuming zinc is your problem.

Bullying behaviour is bad for mental health

A British communi-

ty-based study of almost 5,000 participants gave startling results about impacts of bullying.

Children bullied at age 10 were more than twice as likely to show signs of psychosis (seri-ous mental illness) by the age of 18 than those who were not bullied.

Children who report-ed doing the bullying were almost five times more likely to have a psychotic episode by the time they reached the age of 18.

If your child reports bullying behaviours or you suspect your child is a bully or a victim of bullying, we can think of no better reason to deal with the issue promptly and decisively.

Brain injury and Alzheimer’s disease

Although we have talked about the link between brain injury and Alzheimer’s in the past, this new study released by Cambridge University in England has confirmed it.

There are many good reasons to ensure you protect your brain health, but especially that of young children — and this is a really good reason.

Before you let your child head the soccer ball, ask the coach about protective headwear and perhaps lobby the

league to mandate it.You see, traumatic

brain injury is also caused by repeated smaller blows to the head, not just the larger knocks.

Multiple-sclerosis and emotional woes

We often talk about the link between physi-cal and mental health in our column.

The American Academy of Neurology has released new guide-lines to help physicians diagnose mental ill-nesses arising in con-junction with multiple sclerosis.

With medicine work-ing hard to find test-based factors in mental illness diagnoses rather than leaving it solely up to observation and opin-ion as it has been in the past, we are sure you will see other specialty areas identify ways in which physical ailments are linked with mental illness.

These are some of the mental-health head-lines from the very first week of 2014 and we are happy you are see-ing them here first.

Thank you for read-ing our column and if you have thoughts, questions or sugges-tions, write to us at [email protected] and follow us on Twitter @CMHAKamloops.

HALLOWEEN KISS

Murder trial ends with plea to manslaughter


[email protected]

Emotions ran high on the fifth

floor of the Kamloops Law Courts

on Wednesday, Oct. 30, as the sec-

ond-degree murder trial of Torbin

Alec came to an abrupt end with a

plea bargain.Alec, 30, was charged with

second-degree murder following

the stabbing death last summer of

Jesse Seymour.Following the surprise guilty

plea — to the lesser charge of man-

slaughter — Seymour’s family held

a tearful 30-person prayer circle

outside Courtroom 5C.“It’s tough,” said Fred Seymour,

Jesse’s father, choking back tears.

“You can never trust your broth-

er. My son died at the hands of his

so-called brother.“If we can look each other in

the eyes, we’ve got to call our-

selves family.“But, we know there’s people

out there — we know there’s bad

ones.”Seymour died following a fight

with Alec in the early-morning

hours of July 15, 2012, outside a

house party at 746 Columbia St.

Court has heard the two were

close friends who were arguing

about Alec’s chances with a girl.

The Crown’s case turned largely

on three points — the testimony of

two Crown witnesses and a broken

bottle found at the scene.

Nicole Jones-Dodginghorse, one

of two people who witnessed the

altercation that led to Seymour’s

death, said under questioning from

prosecutor Rob Bruneau that the

fight was a fair one.However, under cross-examina-

tion from defence lawyer Jeremy

Jensen, she acknowledged a state-

ment made to police two hours

after the fight.“They got close, they started

rumbling,” she told an officer.

“Like, Jesse was hitting him. I

think he [Torbin] might have pulled

out the knife when he was getting

beat up pretty good there for a bit.”

Jones-Dodginghorse said

Seymour dropped a bottle of tequi-

la he had been holding prior to the

fight. She said the bottle smashed

on the concrete steps on which she

and Seymour had been sitting.

However, according to a photo

entered as evidence on the first

day of the trial, the bottle’s jagged

neck, on which there were drops

of blood, was found near the area

where the two fought, not on the

steps.Another photo showed a three-

inch cut on Alec’s forearm —

something the defence theorized

was a defensive wound.

The last witness to give evi-

dence prior to the guilty plea

was Shawn Bottle, who told a

story different than that of Jones-

Dodginghorse.He also witnessed the fight, but

described it as largely a one-sided

affair in Alec’s favour.Court heard Crown and defence

will present a joint sentencing

position, but its terms are not yet

known.However, speaking outside the

courtroom, Fred Seymour said he

was told by Bruneau it was six

years.“A so-called brother getting six

years less time served,” he said.

“Is that justice in our eyes? I

don’t think so. Look at our family.

“I’m not proud of today, what

happened today. These are things

we’re going to carry for life
