New beer-fl avoured jelly beans ‘clean, crisp, mildly bready’
THE JELLY BELLY CANDY COMPANY said people have been requesting beer-fl avoured jelly
beans for decades. Their new Hefeweizen-inspired treat took three years to develop.
If you’ve ever had a craving for candy with a
more grown-up punch, you’re in luck — Jel-
ly Belly, the California company known for
their creative confections, has just introduced
beer-fl avoured jelly beans.
The Hefeweizen-inspired ale fl avour, which
will be in stores worldwide early this year,
took three years to perfect, according to a
company release.
The fl avour profi le is described as “clean
with notes of wheat and a touch of sweet-
ness,” and the aroma is “mildly bready.”
Jelly Belly’s new draft beer-fl avoured jelly
beans have “notes of wheat and a touch of
sweetness,” the company said.
Beer connoisseurs, who have reportedly
been requesting the fl avour for decades, will
appreciate “the effervescent and crisp fl avor
... packed in a golden jelly bean with an iri-
descent fi nish,” the release reads.
“Anyone who enjoys a good, cold beer will
enjoy Draft Beer Jelly Belly beans for the
simple fact that it tastes just as you’d imag-
ine,” said Rob Swaigen, vice-president of
marketing for Jelly Belly.
But if you were hoping to get tipsy, you’re
better off having a couple of pints — the jelly
beans are alcohol-free.
Jelly Belly is also offering up recipe ideas
for “beer cocktail” jelly bean fl avours. For a
beer sangria, pop two draft beer beans and one
peach bean into your mouth, then chew. For
a Michelada, combine two draft beer beans,
one lemon lime bean and one Tabasco bean.
The 145-year-old candy company is known
for its wacky and inventive — albeit not al-
ways delicious — fl avours, including but-
tered popcorn, dirt, rotten egg and vomit.
JELLY BELLY INTRODUCES HEFEWEIZEN-INSPIRED ALE FLAVOUR
Wendy’s DreamLift Day is Wednesday
The annual fundraiser to send deserving kids
to Disneyland for a day will be held on Wed.
Jan. 29 at Wendy’s restaurants throughout the
Southern Interior, including all Kamloops lo-
cations.
The 20th year of the event will, as always,
raise funds for the Sunshine Foundation of
Canada to fl y children and teens between the
ages of three and 18 and who are challenged
by severe physical disabilities and/or life-
threatening illnesses to Disneyland for one
day in December.
In 2013, 52 children went to Disneyland as
part of the program.
All net proceeds from the day’s sales, as
well as staff, management and owners’ wag-
es, are used for the charitable event. To date,
DreamLift Day has raised $1.22 million. Last
year, Wendy’s DreamLift Day raised about
$115,000.
Local celebrities and dignitaries will be on
hand, along with members from the RCMP
and other service/sports organizations.
Wednesday is DreamLift Day at Wendy’s

DOES KAMLOOPS NEED A TRANSITION?
Apparently, the answer is yes! Organizers of an upcoming community
workshop on the Transition Town movement have been pleasantly sur-
prised by the strong response.
“We weren’t sure if this concept is something that would fl y in Ka-
mloops, but we’ve got most of our seats fi lled a week ahead of time,
which is really encouraging,” said Gisela Ruckert, chair of Kamloops
350.
On Jan. 25 starting at 11 a.m. at the Kamloops Art Gallery, 465 Victoria
St., the group will be showing the Transition 2.0 movie and facilitating
a discussion on what Kamloops could look like in 20 years. Since lunch
will be provided, attendees are asked to RSVP via www.eventbrite.ca
(Transition Kamloops).
“We’re especially excited that two members of the Transition Vernon
group are coming up to share their experiences,” said Ruckert. “The
interesting thing about this concept is that it can look completely differ-
ent in every community, but the common thread that unites them all is
a desire to build a healthier and more resilient community, where local
economies are valued and nurtured; where lower energy is seen as a
benefi t; and where enterprise, creativity and the building of resilience
become cornerstones of a new economy.”
“OK, so it sounds a bit lofty,” related fellow organizer, Marcia Dick.
“But the point is to recognize that we can infl uence the path our commu-
nity chooses to take. If we want to adopt a lower carbon lifestyle, let’s
talk about ways to make that happen, bit by bit. Let’s talk about how we
can develop a stronger local economy. Other communities have found
success through the Transition Town model – why not Kamloops?”
For information, visit the Kamloops 350 Facebook page, or contact Eli
Pivnick at 250-299-3007 or Gisela Ruckert at 250-374-1472. RSVP to
reserve your spot at www.eventbrite.ca (Transition Kamloops).

My little “angel” is turning four
years old. With the turn of her
head, a smile from ear to ear, and
the batting of her eyelashes, Au-
brielle can melt anyone’s heart.
She is adorable and loving and
very dramatic... um, I mean pas-
sionate!
From the time Aubrielle was a
baby and her personality start-
ed to shine, you could tell this
little princess was going to be
“passionate.” With everything
she does, she expresses herself
signifi cantly – from the love of
her big brother, the attention to
a favourite activity – like ballet
or a puzzle, or the cuddles for
her daddy to the eardrum pierc-
ing screams for her brother (if
he looks at her the wrong way),
the refusal to sit on the naughty
stair for a time-out, or the tem-
per tantrums that exceed a scale
that I have ever had to deal with
before. Aubrielle is growing into
her own person and is becoming
a force to be reckoned with.
This past year, Aubrielle has
grown – in height and personality.
She is well-behaved and studious
at preschool, daycare, and ballet –
loving to learn new things. I am
proud to watch how she immedi-
ately falls in line at these classes
to do whatever the teacher/in-
structor requests. (Now, to get her
to do this at home!) But, this at-
tentiveness she has is also brought
to other activities – where she will
not let up on something she has
her mind set to – if you ask her
to stop.
Aubrielle wants what she wants –
and you better not get in her way.
(Believe me when I say we are
trying to nip this in the bud!) The
other day, we went out to dinner.
The kids were very well behaved
and Aubrielle ate all her dinner,
drank all her juice and continued
to polish off the special dessert.
When it was time to leave, she
was walking to the car and had
her mind set on pushing the but-
ton to automatically open the
restaurant doors. Zachary did
this instead. Aubrielle was not
happy. Words were said (ahem,
screams), and she even attempted
to kick Zachary as we stood on
the sidewalk. When strangers
approached to say how adorable
she was, Aubrielle (still in her
tantrum state) took this oppor-
tunity to walk up to Zachary and
kick him in the shin. Is she still
adorable, ladies?
Yes, she is, and I would not
change her for the world! (Al-
though, if she went to bed the
fi rst time we asked, that would be
nice!) We love our beautiful, little
angel and are looking forward to
the next year of new adventures
with Aubrielle. Happy Birthday!
HoroscopesJanuary 27 - February 2, 2014You’ll want to create opportunities that result in pleasurable activi-ties as well as involving you with people you fi nd enjoyable. Any-thing out of the ordinary will be particularly appealing though prob-ably short lived. A review of your obligations that have real purpose for stability is necessary so you start to grow the right things.
Something you deeply believe in can infl uence your future con-siderably. If you’re not sure, now is the time to question these things – you may learn a lot about yourself. A good place to start is any commitments that aggravate you or seem unfair. Mental at-titude towards matters can be the greatest cause of unsettledness.
Improved fi nances or increased personal earning capacity is some-thing you should have experienced since late June. How someone else impacts this or how your spending affects them, is something that may now reach a turning point where a practical balance needs to be established. Control will come into this in some way.
Seriously consider anything that seems to be repeating itself when it comes to your individuality, what you’re doing with your life & how somebody else may infl uence or affect that. This is a major turning point that can completely unfold by late-April. Making the right choices regarding others can bring substantial results.
Be cautious of new directions that develop suddenly involving ei-ther somebody you already know or anybody new. They may not be as confi dent as they seem but are relying on you more than you re-alise. There’s a lot going on behind the scenes. You can gather infor-mation & ideas but need to wait a while yet before moving ahead.
You can be lucky though you won’t believe it’s possible as strongly as others. Luck’s tied into how thoroughly something has been or-ganised or looked into. Anything you’ve been mulling over lately can now result in a eureka moment. When you fi nd a way to mould this into your priorities, your moment of luck will have arrived.
There’s something about this time that’s like no other, no matter your age. You don’t choose to go into battle quickly but have a preparedness to do just that, if necessary. You need to have con-trol of your circumstances, though this may take a bit of work to late-April. You must learn to limit your obligations or generosity.
You can begin to set down some new foundations based on what you’ve been considering since mid- Jan. There’s something out of the ordinary or inventive about this that can prove to be logi-cal & effi cient. Keeping things under control in your own mind won’t only lead to balanced outcomes but future growth.
You’re at a major turning point regarding your fi nances providing or leading to greater security than you have so far experienced in life. Much of this can also be connected to you having developed more control of your spending. Any new work directions that de-velop this year can have greater impact than ever before as well.
You can benefi t greatly from the generosity of somebody else – this may also include knowledge they’re happy to share with you. It can enable you to sort out the things of true value to your life that can result in a sense of peace that generates a knowingness that much power is at your disposal. It’s just a matter of utilising it.
The New Moon occurs in your own sign, making links that should produce thoughts towards surprises life has to offer & new opportunities that can arise as a result. Whatever you’ve been considering since mid-Jan. will move onto another stage. You’ll have a clearer perspective from mid-Feb. – mid-March.
You can sense new beginnings more than you can see them. Mer-cury, the planet of thought & communication moves into your sign for its fi rst stage of two periods. This one will last ‘til Feb. 13. Ex-pect to review anything you think are fi nal decisions in this time. Enjoying life will be important. Ensuring this is a slow process.

Kamloops RCMP are in the
early stages of a complex in-
vestigation involving a number
of youth throughout the com-
munity. RCMP were contacted
by SD# 73 staff after learning
about the alleged exchange of
inappropriate material.
“At this point it’s too early
to categorize the nature of this
investigation or to comment on
any specifi c details,” said Cpl.
Cheryl Bush. “We are dealing
with people under the age of 18,
and will restrict our comments
accordingly, as per legislation.”
Offi cers are working closely
with the school district on this
matter and to ensure the safety
of students, which is a priority.
“When we became aware of the
information, we acted swiftly
and have numerous investiga-
tive and support resources allo-
cated to this fi le,” Bush related.
She said the message to par-
ents remains the same: be en-
gaged with your children’s on-
line and social media activities.
This can lead to tough or un-
comfortable conversations, but
these conversations are critical.

self online.

Fri. Jan. 17, saw the Storm in
Armstrong where they were dou-
bled up by the North Okanagan
Knights 6-3 on the scoreboard an
64-32 on the shots clock.
The Knights came out strong,
scoring their fi rst goal 3:34 into
the fi rst period. Halfway through
the period, Daniel Buchanan
vindicated himself after taking a
boarding penalty just 20 seconds
into the game, tying the game
for the Storm. But, the Knights
scored two goals in 51 seconds
with fi ve minutes remaining in
the period to make it 3-1 North
Okanagan after 20 minutes.
The Knights made it 4-1 10:48
into the middle frame, chasing
starting goalie Liam McLeod
from the net to be replaced by
backup goaltender Wade Moyls.
Spencer Schoech gave the Storm
a bit of hope, scoring with 7:30
remaining in the period to make
it 4-2 Knights after 40.
The Knights opened the third
period by scoring a pair of goals
within 88 seconds, one on the
power play and one shorthanded,
just 1:24 into the third to take
a four-goal lead. Luke Gordon
scored a power play goal halfway
through the third to make it a 6-3
Knights win over the Storm.
Kamloops hosted Revelstoke
Sat. Jan. 18, when the results
were more to the Storm’s liking,
as they defeated the Grizzlies 5-1
and more than doubled them up
on the shot clock, outshooting
Revelstoke 62-26 on the game.
Buchanan opened the scoring
for the Storm with a power play
goal 13:06 into the game to give
the Storm a 1-0 lead after the fi rst
period. Josh Rasmussen scored
the only goal of the middle frame
with 3:11 remaining on the clock
to give the Storm a 2-0 lead after
40 minutes. Despite the Storm
only being able to fi nd the back
of the net once in the period,
they didn’t lack in chances as
they peppered the Grizzlies’ net-
minder with 22 shots.
Gordon gave the Storm a 3-0
lead 7:14 into the third period,
then Bobby Kashuba made it 4-0
Storm with a power play goal
halfway through the period. The
Grizzlies fi nally got on the score-
board 2:03 later to make it 4-1
Storm. Marc Dumont potted an
insurance goal on the power play
with 58 seconds remaining in the
game to give the Storm the 5-1
win.
The Storm hosted the Ghostrid-
ers in an early evening game Sun.
Jan. 19, and came away with a
3-1 win, outshooting the visiting
team from Fernie 46-18.
Despite outshooting the
Ghostriders 21-7 in the fi rst pe-
riod, Brock Balson was fi nally
able to put the Storm on the
scoreboard with 30 seconds left
on the period clock to make it 1-0
after 20 minutes. Fernie tied the
game 37 seconds into the mid-
dle frame. Kashuba scored the
Storm’s winning goal halfway
through the period, and Gordon
potted the insurance marker with
1:20 left in the second period to
make it 3-1 after 40; and that’s
the way the game would end and
neither time was able to score in
the third period.

The Vancouver Giants out-
worked the Kamloops Blazers last
Friday night and won 6-2 over the
Blazers. Giants head coach Don
Hay recorded his 600th career
WHL win, which is good for third
all-time in WHL history.
The Blazers and Giants were
playing an even game to start,
but the Giants started to take over
as the period carried on. The Gi-
ants scored fi rst in this one off a
set faceoff play. Dalton Sward’s
attempted pass hit a Blazers de-
fender stick and snuck underneath
goaltender Bolton Pouliot to give
the Giants a 1-0 lead with just
under nine minutes remaining in
the period. The Giants gained mo-
mentum as the period carried on
and led 1-0 going into the second
period.
The second period was only
worse for the Blazers as the Gi-
ants scored three times and took
a commanding 4-0 lead. Thomas
Foster took a quick hard shot off a
turnover that Pouliot did not see to
make it 2-0 only 57 seconds into
the period. Travis McEvoy cre-
ated a turnover and took a puck to
the net scoring his seventh of the
season. Finally, defenseman Ty-
ler Morrison joined the rush and
scored on a nice set up by Alec
Baer to make it 4-0 going into the
third period.
The Giants continued scoring
early in the fi nal frame. Dalton
Sward got his second goal of
the night beating Pouliot short-
side and Arvin Atwal got a shot
through on the power play to make
it 6-0 for the Giants. 16-year-old
goaltender Cole Kehler took over
from there and stopped all four
shots he faced in the game’s fi nal
12:42. The Blazers got some life
into their game in the last 10 min-
utes and were rewarded with two
goals. Joe Kornelsen put in a puck
from in front of the net on a power
play and Nathan Looysen scored
his fi rst WHL goal on a rebound
off a shot from Ryan Rehill to
make it a 6-2 fi nal.
Final shots on goal were tied
at 31 apiece. The Blazers were
1-for-5 on the power play, while
the Giants fi nished 1-for-3.
The Blazers gave it all they had
in a 3-2 loss to the Seattle Thun-
derbirds at home Saturday night.
The Blazers were not at their best
in the fi rst period and the Thun-
derbirds made them pay. Rob-
erts Lipsbergs put the Thunder-
birds on the scoreboard midway
through the period on the power
play. Shea Theodore had the point
shot on goal and Lipsbergs scored
on the second chance in front of
the goal to make it 1-0. Kevin
Wolf made it 2-0 fi nishing off a
nice pass from Mitch Elliot with
just under fi ve minutes to go. The
fi rst period featured three fi ghts as
Sam Grist, Ryan Rehill and Aus-
tin Douglas all dropped the gloves
in the. The Thunderbirds took a
2-0 lead into the second period.
Joe Kornelsen started off the
second period getting into a fi ght
with a much bigger Jared Hauf.
Kornelsen missed most of the sec-
ond period getting repaired from
the fi ght, but he returned with
some energy. The Blazers got bet-
ter as the period went on and Ko-
rnelsen eventually scored a power
play goal. He jammed home a
puck past goaltender Taran Kozun
to cut the defi cit to 2-1 heading
into the third period.
The Blazers had a strong fi nal pe-
riod outshooting the Thunderbirds
19-9 in the frame. They did what
they could to tie the game up, but
Kozun was solid for the Thunder-
birds. The Thunderbirds eventu-
ally scored with 5:35 to go and
took a 3-1 lead. The Blazers kept
the pressure on and Kornelsen
netted his second goal of the
night parked in front of the net to
make it 3-2 with only 53 seconds
to play. A last gasp effort wasn’t
enough as the Blazers fell short in
a 3-2 loss to the Thunderbirds.
The Blazers outshot the Thun-
derbirds 32-30 in the game. Ko-
zun had the win with 30 saves
and Pouliot took the loss with 27
saves.
The Blazers were 2-for-4 on the
power play, while the Thunder-
birds were 1-for-2.
The Blazers made it count
Wednesday night earning a 7-1
victory over the visiting Leth-
bridge Hurricanes.
The win was head coach Guy
Charron’s 145th with the fran-
chise putting him past Don Hay
for second in franchise history be-
hind Ken Hitchcock’s 291 career
wins.
The Blazers won this game with
a strong fi rst period. Tyson Ness
got the game’s fi rst goal 6:16 into
the period picking off a clearing
attempting and snapping his 11th
goal past goaltender Jarrod Scha-
merhorn for a 1-0 lead. The Blaz-
ers made it 2-0 only 14 seconds
later with Cole Ully fi nishing off
a rebound off a shot from Matt
Bellerive. Two more goals would
come shortly after as Chase Souto
scored his fi rst goal in nearly two
months in his third game back
from injury for his 17th goal of
the season. Matt Revel made it
4-0 as he tipped in a point shot
from Sam Grist on the power play.
The Blazers scored the four goals
in a span of 5:28 in the period.
Schamerhorn was pulled after the
third goal, stopping three of six
shots, in favour of Jonny Hogue.
The Blazers took the 4-0 lead into
the second period.
The pace slowed in the second
period with no goal scoring, but
the physical play picked up and
the period featured three fi ghts.
Austin Douglas, Jesse Shynkaruk
and Collin Shirley all dropped the
gloves in the second period.
The Hurricanes broke the shut-
out 1:09 into the third period on
the power play to make it a 4-1
game. The next shift, only 11 sec-
onds later, Tyson Ness made it
5-1 picking up his own rebound
and potting his second goal of the
game. The Blazers added to the
goal count as Shirley and Souto
rounded out the scoring giving the
Blazers a 7-1 home ice victory.
The Hurricanes fi nished 1-for-3
on the power play, while the Blaz-
ers were 1-for-2 on the night.
Pouliot earned his fi rst win since
November making 30 saves.
The Blazers will host two week-
end home games as the Victoria
Royals are in town Friday night
and the Medicine Hat Tigers are
in town on Saturday.

While smoking rates have steadily declined over the last decades, to-
bacco still kills more people every year than all illegal drugs, suicides,
homicides and car accidents combined.
Jan. 19 to 25 is National Non-Smoking Week, and Interior Health
(IH) wants to remind everyone of the importance of local action to
address the leading cause of preventable death and disease in Canada.
One of the most effective ways communities can reduce the harm
of cigarettes is to limit their use in public areas. Creating smoke-free
environments is a great way to improve the health of your community.
Smoke-free outdoor spaces are very effective in helping children and
youth grow up to be non-smokers.
Smoke-free bylaws are not intended to punish those who are de-
pendent on tobacco, but instead to assist smokers to quit and protect
people from exposure to second-hand smoke.
“There is no safe level of exposure to tobacco smoke,” said Trish
Hill, IH Tobacco Reduction co-ordinator. “By creating smoke-free
outdoor spaces, communities make smoking seem less normal, which
contributes to lowering smoking rates. This is particularly important
for the well-being of children and adolescents because of the message
it conveys, namely that inhaling smoke into your lungs is not normal.”
Communities with smoke-free parks, playgrounds, beaches and trails
tend to have lower smoking rates. In Woodstock, Ont., 38 per cent of
people said the outdoor smoke-free bylaw helped them quit, and 40
per cent said it helped them to stay a non-smoker. The bylaw did not
negatively impact use of facilities, businesses, or attendance at com-
munity events.
Smoke-free parks, beaches and playgrounds also lower the risk of
toxic litter, which may be ingested by children or pets; and reduces
wildfi re in forested areas. In the 2012 B.C. shoreline clean-up, tobacco
related litter outnumbered any other by three times.
“Public support for smoke-free outdoor areas is on the rise,” said
Hill. “It’s not surprising since more than 85 per cent of British Colum-
bians don’t use tobacco. In fact, more than 30 communities in B.C.,
from Vancouver to Kelowna to Sicamous, have enacted restrictions
on smoking in parks and on beaches, joining hundreds more across
North America.”
The Tobacco Reduction Team partners with local governments,
agencies, Aboriginal communities and individuals to promote healthy,
smoke-free environments. This is done through presentations to coun-
cils, advising and commenting on bylaw language, providing ‘lessons
learned’ from other communities and encouraging local governments
to include smoke-free space in their visioning and planning.
To fi nd out about the smoke-free bylaws in your area, check your
community’s website. If you would like to know more about smoke-
free living or want help strengthening your local smoke-free bylaws,
the Interior Health Tobacco Reduction Team is eager to help and can
be reached through www.interiorhealth.ca/AboutUs/ContactUs.
