Thompson Rivers University faculty members have been called to an emergency meeting on Thursday and asked to provide the union with non-TRU email addresses. The request follows the TRU Faculty Association (TRUFA) serving the required 72 hours’ strike notice to the university yesterday morning. TRUFA president Tom Friedman declined to specify the planned action, but noted it could be anything According to Thompson from refusing to attend meetings with administration Rivers University, here is to walking off the job. Friedman said the decision to take job action “is data on students and staff: new territory for us.” STUDENTS He said the only time faculty has come close to a ON CAMPUS: strike was during provincewide bargaining in 1998. Kamloops: 7,148 “And we came within three hours of walking out,” he said. Williams Lake: 178 Since 1974, faculty has taken a strike vote three STUDENTS times. OPEN LEARNING: In November, TRUFA members voted 80 per cent 8,251 in favour of a strike mandate.

City worker gets his job back CAM FORTEMS

A B.C. Labour Relations Board arbitrator has again ruled the City of Kamloops must rehire a parks worker who was fired for not doing his job and attempting to cover it up. Arbitrator Robert Diebolt reconfirmed his original
decision that Joe Cupello should serve a 30-day suspension and get his job back, ruling the city made serious errors when it fired him, including suggesting a shop steward to represent him who earlier told a supervisor that Cupello “didn’t get it.” “Dishonesty can be fatal to reinstatement but it is not automatically so . . .” Diebolt
wrote in his decision. “This is not, for example, a case of theft. “The grievor was dishonest about whether he had performed certain of his cleaning duties . . . I do not mean to minimize the importance of the employer’s real and legitimate interests in honesty. See UNION, A7

This therapy provides a more concentrated dose of vitamins compared to traditional supplements, and bypasses the digestive track to allow maximum absorption.
Lyme Disease is a tick-borne bacterial disease transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected tick. Individualized treatment plans are created based on the severity of symptoms, the presence of tick-borne coinfections and patient response to treatment.
Common conditions treated in pregnancy include: liver/gall bladder congestion, heartburn, constipation, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, candida, yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, nausea/ hyperemesis, anemia, headaches, eczema, anxiety and insomnia. Post Partum Care
Pain Management Chelation Therapy Chelation Therapy is a safe and effective treatment for many conditions including heavy-metal toxicity, atherosclerosis, gout, peripheral vascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, brain fog and many other common medical conditions.
Prolotherapy and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) are two therapies used to treat pain. These therapies were developed to stimulate the repair of ligaments, tendons and related tissues that have been injured.

The educator who established the McQueen Lake Environmental Centre, leading to him receiving the Order of Canada in 1984, has died. Ralph Shaw — hunter, fisher and author — passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, Jan. 7, leaving behind a family and a legacy of conservation work that is unlikely to be surpassed any time in the near future. Born on June 20, 1926 in High’s Stopping House, Ardmore (halfway between Cold Lake and Bonnyville, Alta.) to a pioneer family who trapped and fished for a living, Shaw came by his outdoor skills naturally.
SNOW DEPTH AT NORMAL LEVELS
He fished, trapped and hunted with his brothers. His fishing career started when he was about six years old. While a teacher and principal in Kamloops, Shaw established the McQueen Lake Environmental Centre north of Kamloops. It is today owned by the Kamloops-Thompson school district and used by classes for field trips. Shaw worked for the Simon Fraser University Summer Institute at McQueen Lake, specializing in wilderness survival and outdoor skills. During the 1960s and 1970s, he spoke throughout North America on conservation and outdoor education.
Snowpacks in the Thompson region are at normal levels produced by a large number of winter storms. The B.C. River Forecast Centre estimates much of the province at normal levels. The North Thompson is at 97 per cent of normal at the beginning of January, while the South Thompson is at 100 per cent. Levels across B.C. range from a low

The forecast centre said the area in the Pacific Ocean known as “the blob” has dissipated. It is thought responsible for last year’s warm winter
and low snowpacks. While El Nino conditions are now at play, the climate phenomenon produces different results across B.C. The forecast centre said the last similar El Nino year, in 1997-1998, resulted in snowpacks only slightly below normal. By early January, snowpacks have accumulated about half their annual amount.

Offender agrees to D.O label TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A B.C. man who sexually assaulted at least 15 children over a five-decade period has voluntarily agreed to be labelled a dangerous offender — meaning there is a good chance he will be locked up for the rest of his life. The man cannot be named. A courtordered publication ban covers his name as well as those of his victims and the community in which he committed his most recent crimes. His name is banned to protect the identity of his victims. The offender consented to being labelled a dangerous offender in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops yesterday, on what had been slated to be the first day of a three-week dangerous-offender hearing. “There is no doubt that he has caused significant harm to a number of children,” Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan said in court.
“He has indicated that he wants this to stop and he, today, has taken steps to ensure that occurs.” The offender’s most recent crimes, for which he was convicted last summer, took place in a small community in B.C.’s Interior. He videotaped a number of sexual assaults involving young girls and was convicted of two counts each of invitation to sexual touching and producing child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography. Flanagan said the videos, which he called “disturbing,” would have likely been played in court if the offender had not consented to a dangerous-offender label. The offender’s first convictions for sexual crimes against children date back to 1975. Court heard he has been willing to take treatment and counselling in the past, but none of it has worked. “[He] has made an effort,” Flanagan said. “It just has not worked and, in the Crown’s view, will never work.
An investigation is underway following a sudden death at a Kamloops business yesterday morning. Emergency crews were called to Inland Glass and Aluminum at about 8 a.m. A person was pronounced dead at the scene. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said the death was not suspicious in nature and police have handed the investigation to a coroner. WorkSafeBC senior manager Trish Knight Chernecki told KTW her office is also
DEATH AT WORK SITE BEING PROBED
“There will never be a time when it will be safe for [him] to be in the community were he not supervised. The parole board might find that there is no form of supervision that would be sufficient for him, which could lead to — and he knows this — his being incarcerated for the rest of his life.” Flanagan praised the offender for taking responsibility for his actions. “He, today, is acting with a measure of moral courage,” Flanagan said. “He knows he may go to jail for the rest of his life — and odds are that will happen.” B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley will decide the offender’s dangerousoffender sentence. Flanagan urged Dley to craft the sentence so that, if the offender is ever released by parole officials, he will be under strict supervision. The hearing is expected to wrap up today.
looking into the death. “We had a prevention officer attend this morning,” she said yesterday afternoon. “There was a situation and we’re determining to find out if the person who was injured was actually a worker or not. At this point, we’re not sure.” The investigation is ongoing. Inland Glass and Aluminum is at 1820 Kryczka Pl., behind Costco in the Versatile industrial area of west Kamloops.

B.C. will not support twin pipeline STAFF REPORTER

Park wild about record numbers of visitors in ‘15 TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
Last year was a record-setting 12 months for the B.C. Wildlife Park. Glenn Grant, general manager of the park, told KTW 2015’s numbers blew expectations out of the water. “Heading into 2015, our budget was for 85,000 visitors,” he said. “Our five-year average had been 83,000 and we figured adding Clover would increase things by a few thousand — not 20,000.” The park’s 2015 season technically wraps up on Jan. 31 and Grant expects about 800 more visitors before then. As of yesterday, the park had seen 102,567 visitors pass through its gates since the 2015 season opened. “We’ve set new records,” Grant said. “Our previous best was in 2011, 88,754, so we’re substantially up over previous years.” The aforementioned Clover, the only Kermode bear in captivity in the world, made his debut in May and proved to be a big draw. “Introducing Clover obviously helped quite a bit,” Grant said. “We’ve been working with bus-tour companies to make Kamloops a stop from Northern California through to Banff. “A lot of it was local, too, but we’ve definitely seen a big spike in international tours — some from China and some from California.” Another reason 2015 was a banner year for the park was Mother Nature. “We had fantastic weather from February right through until now,” Grant said. With extra visitors comes extra revenue. Grant said the park has plans for the money it made in 2015, including a reserve fund and some much-needed upgrades. “Most notably is our splash park, which needs a complete overhaul,” he said. “We’ve got the asphalt down and we’ll have it open on May long weekend.” Grant said plenty of upgrades were also made behind the scenes. “Next year, we’re projecting 90,000 visitors, right around there,” he said. “I don’t think we’ll end up with 100,000 again. If we do, that would be amazing, but we still expect a big increase over our average.”
Environment Minister Mary Polak said yesterday that Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline proposal does not meet B.C.’s conditions for world-class land and marine spill safety. As such, the B.C. government will not support Kinder Morgan’s application to the National Energy Board. Polak told reporters in a conference call Kinder Morgan has not met standards set down by the province for twinning of the line from Edmonton to Burnaby. The line would pass through Kamloops, including through Lac Du Bois provincial park and beside existing neighbourhoods. “We’re saying at this time they have not met it,” Polak said. “It does not close the door on them meeting
that test in the future.” The B.C. government set out five conditions for its support on any new pipelines: approval by the NEB; world-class land spill safety measures and response; world-class marine spill safety measures and response; participation and benefits to First Nations; and benefits to B.C. taxpayers. Polak said none of those five conditons has yet been met, but the province is specifically focusing on spill measures. It will introduce legislation in the spring to address land-based safety for pipelines. Kinder Morgan released a statement, saying it is confident it can meet B.C.’s standards. “Trans Mountain is confident that through continued discussions with the Province, along with the final steps of the NEB process that already include 150

draft conditions that the company must meet, it will be able to satisfy BC’s five conditions by the time the regulatory process is complete,” the statement read. John Ranta, chairman of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, said he is satisfied with promises by Kinder Morgan it has worldclass spill response. “It’s disappointing such a highly significant project could be rejected at this point based on a perception Kinder Morgan hasn’t met the five criteria,” Ranta said. He said the move appears to be pandering to sentiment in the Lower Mainland against the project, noting dates for two by-elections have been set. “The whole thing seems to be caught up
in politics,” he said. The twin line would run through a significant portion of Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake’s riding. Lake, who is also the province’s health minister, told KTW he understands the economic value and that a pipeline is preferable environmentally and safety-wise to shipment by train. But, Lake added, the company must meet the province’s standards. “British Columbians expect if there’s a world-class standard, we should have that standard in B.C.,” he said. “We’re for the economic development and benefits to B.C. and Canada, but not at any price.” Lake said the door is not closed on the company meeting the
standards. Kinder Morgan has agreements in place with groups ranging from Thompson Rivers University to First Nations bands, promising jobs, contracts and millions in grants and revenues. It also has benefit agreements with local government, including the Thompson-Nicola Regional District and the City of Kamloops. The city would receive $700,000 for community projects, while the TNRD would see almost $900,000. “If you look at the economies of rural communities anywhere in B.C. and Canada, times are tough,” Ranta said. “A project like this, a multi-billion dollar one employing so many people, is hugely significant for the economy.”

Faculty association, university numbers vary greatly From A1
Friedman said while TRUFA is agreeable to mediation, he believes the gulf is still too wide for it to be effective. Both keyed in on the way the university is run as a main issue. Milovick said the union has asked for concessions on collegial governance — both sides working together to run the university — while Friedman said TRU’s bargainers have rejected the union’s focus on the role faculty should be playing in administration. “Decisions are being made unilaterally,” Friedman said, noting TRUFA wants faculty voices heard. Milovick argued those voices are heard. He said the definition of collegial governance is subjective, noting administration believes “faculty is well represented on most, if not all, of decision-making committees.” Friedman said his members are frustrated by increasing workloads with fewer resources, a move by the university to create larger classes while cutting items such as teaching-supply budgets. “There is money available,” he said, noting the university has what he believes to be a $74-million surplus. Friedman said allocating that money to purposes other than education needs to be addressed and class size needs to be controlled. For example, Friedman said when
he began teaching at the institution in 1993, the average English class had 20 students. Today, he said, it has about 40 students. “That’s difficult,” Friedman said. “You can understand why people are feeling the stress.” The university, however, countered with statistics that show an average increase in on-campus students of 32 per year since 2005 — from 13,180 in 2005 to 14,099 at the end of the last school year (June 2015). The number of tenure-track faculty has been decreasing, Friedman said, with TRU moving to more contract employees. TRUFA wants that to end and for both sides to work together to identify areas where there is ongoing full-time work and fill those positions with full-time tenure-track instructors. He said the union wants the security of existing contract employees addressed before the university looks nationally for new faculty. When asked about this, Milovick said the TRU job site has about 20 postings now for full-time positions. Friedman said while some are new positions, the majority are to replace faculty who have quit or retired. Administrative growth is another issue, Friedman said, noting since TRU was created, the number of administrators has increased by 186 per cent and their cost has grown by 350 per cent. Milovick said transitioning from the
University College of the Cariboo to full university status brought with it a requisite growth in administration, but noted that “administrative bloat” is an issue facing all universities. The university’s statistics package it sent to media shows administration salaries growing by 7.2 per cent between 2010 and 2014 (from an average of $82,918 to an average of $88,402), while faculty salaries have climbed by 11.5 per cent during the same period (from $79,312 to $88,916). The university also noted faculty received a general wage increase of 6.5 per cent between 2010 and 2014, compared to two per cent for administrators. Melissa Gordon, president of the Thompson Rivers University Students’ Union, said it has been aware of negotiations in the past year and is encouraging both sides “to do whatever it takes to come to an agreement.” Asked if he finds it peculiar to have taken a strike vote at a time when the TRU bargaining committee is headed by former TRUFA president Donna Petri, Friedman replied: “I should say it’s a little strange. The nature of bargaining is such that you tend to see people in new light. It is a little mindbending.” Friedman insisted, however, the impasse is not about any individual. “I believe the mandate has come from higher up, from the top, from the president, maybe even from the provincial government.”
City of Kamloops Notice of Accreditation Visit and Invitation to Comment Thompson Rivers University is in the process of applying for institutional accreditation with the U.S. based Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) and will host its first on-site evaluation visit in April 2016. Institutional accreditation provides a framework for ongoing evaluation and selfanalysis ensuring that TRU’s policies, procedures and practices are consistent with accepted standards of quality. It serves as an important means of assuring the quality of higher education through rigorous peer-review and evaluation. Institutional accreditation will enhance the value of a TRU degree for all students and will provide a distinct advantage for attracting new students both within and outside Canada. The NWCCU will perform a comprehensive accreditation evaluation visit to TRU on April 25-27, 2016. The NWCCU evaluation team, led by a number of university faculty and staff from peer institutions, will meet with campus students, faculty and staff to evaluate TRU’s application for candidacy, in conjunction with the TRU’s recently finalized Self-Evaluation Report. To learn more about the process and to read the report, please visit the TRU accreditation website: www.tru.ca/vpacademic/accreditation In preparation for the April visit, TRU invites members of the TRU community and the general public to provide comments regarding TRU’s application for institutional accreditation. Comments are accepted only when they are signed with an original signature, submitted in writing to the President of the Commission, and received no later than March 25, 2016. Comments will be forwarded as received to the institution, the evaluation committee and the Commission. Comments should be sent directly to: Dr. Sandra Elman, President Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities 8060 165th Avenue N.E., Suite 100 Redmond, WA 98052 For more information, and to review the NWCCU’s Policy A-5, Public Notification and Third Party Comments Regarding Full-Scale Evaluations, visit www.nwccu.org or contact the Commission office at (425)-558-4224.

Union says it will seek damages CITY WILL NOT APPEAL, WILL CHANGE ITS PRACTICES From A1
“However, I am unable to conclude that matters have yet reached the stage where the employment relationship is incapable of rehabilitation,” Diebolt wrote. “Hopefully, the grievor’s recent experience in this case will bring home to him his need to change.” CUPE Local 900, which represents city workers, blasted the city’s firing of Cupello a second time before the LRB process was complete, saying it would seek damages for “cruel and unnecessary treatment.” The union has not returned phone calls to KTW seeking further comment. The decision by the LRB is the latest in a ping-pong battle between the union and city that saw Cupello fired in April 2014, ordered rehired in July 2015, fired again and now, for a second time, ordered to be reinstated. City administrator Dave Traw’in said the city will not appeal the latest decision, which he called “disappointing.” “Trust is one of our corporate values,” he said. “Taxpayers expect you’re doing the job

you’re paid to do.” Trawin said the city’s legal advice is it will not be liable for damages, despite union claims. It will, however, have to pay Cupello back wages since he was originally fired in March, minus any earnings he made working at another job during that period. “We are trying to determine what that amount is,” Trawin said. Events began in March 2014, after city supervisor Shawn Cook checked a route of parks washrooms that were supposed to be cleaned. Once the job — which includes emptying garbage cans and picking up litter — is complete, workers are supposed to check off what they have done. Diebolt ruled Cupello wrongly ticked off a duty sheet he was supposed to complete, confirming he cleaned at the parks. The arbitrator also called Cupello’s claim it was a mistake a “some-
Walsh will try again today on motions Denis Walsh will try to fix a situation he created at council when he tabled a motion on the future of former Kamloops Daily News building downtown. Walsh will table two notices of motion at today’s council meeting to try to straighten out the confusion that came from a Dec. 15 motion he made to table any debate on the future of the structure. The motion passed 5-4, but Mayor Peter Milobar told council its decision meant nothing could be debated on the building’s future for a year. Following that meeting, Walsh expressed frustration no one told him he was making a mistake with his motion, while Milobar said Walsh’s language was “over the top.” Since then, Walsh said, he has read Robert’s Rules of Order, which govern council meetings. His goal is to have the tabling motion rescinded and then see council debate a second motion that would identify “a good process for examining all options for the former Daily News property before we commit fairly significant sums of money to the destruction of the building.” Rules of order would require the motions, once notice is served, to be on the next meeting agenda on Jan. 19.

what dishonest attempt to avoid accountability.” The city recorded four earlier instances of misconduct on the job by Cupello, one of which included complaints by co-workers that he used “racial slurs, profanity and discriminatory comments.” Following the random route check by Cook, city human-resources staff held a disciplinary meeting with Cupello on March 31, 2014, at which he was represented by city mechanic and shop steward Ed Jensen. Diebolt ruled the city failed to tell Cupello the purpose of the meeting and should not have suggested Jensen (who had represented Cupello in previous matters) because Jensen earlier met with the supervisor to view the incomplete work.
“At the request of the Employer, he attended at Valleyview park to inspect its condition. He subsequently met with and reported to Cook, the grievor’s supervisor, that the park ‘was a mess’ and that the grievor ‘didn’t get it,’ Diebolt wrote. “This evidence alone disabled Jensen from assuming the role of advocate in the subsequent March 31 investigatory meeting. In a very real sense, he had aligned himself with the Employer. “It is therefore unsurprising that Jensen was mute at the investigatory meeting, apart from asking to see the pictures.” Trawin said the city has reviewed its actions. It will no longer tell the union what shop stewards have represented employees in earlier discipline matters.
DOG RESORT
“It was a past practice to help out the union — this was the representative they used in the past,” Trawin said. “We won’t be doing that now.” In the original decision, the arbitrator said human-resources employee Kirsten Olmstead and manager Colleen Quigley should not have suggested Jensen represent Cupello at the hearing where Cupello did not know the city was seeking to dismiss him. “Olmstead is a Human Resources employee. Quigley has been a Human Resources employee for fifteen years, five of them as a departmental manager,” Diebolt wrote. “Given their positions and experience, they must be taken to be aware of procedural requirements and contractual provisions addressing employee rights. Olmstead should not have sent an email effectively proposing Jensen as a Union representative and Quigley should have prevented his participation at the investigatory meeting.”

TEMPER THAT LOTTERY FEVER
L
ottery dreams in North America have never been more vivid. Tomorrow’s Powerball Lottery in all but six states (Washington is a Powerball player, so your road to riches is only 2.5 hours away) will have an estimated jackpot of $1.3 billion ($1.8 billion loonies when the currency exchange is calculated). It will be the largest jackpot in history, anywhere. The winner(s) can accept equal payments over 30 years or take a lump-sum prize of $868 million. Of course, unlike Canadian lotteries, there will be tax deducted south of the border — 25 per cent federally, along with a state tax. Still, taking home about US$450 million is a mind-boggling dream and, despite the astronomical odds of winning (1 in 292 million), people are flocking to corner stores in 44 states, plunking down two bucks per ticket for a chance to dream big. As Kamloops is the headquarters of the B.C. Lottery Corporation — which helps run smaller jackpots, such as this Friday’s $50-million Lotto Max draw — it is worth warning Tournament Capital Powerball fans to think twice before trying to get in on the action from this side of the 49th parallel. While it is perfectly legal for Canadians visiting the United States to buy a lottery ticket and win money, it is much more of a grey area when it comes to online purchases. The Better Business Bureau is warning Canadians about buying Powerball tickets online. Selling lottery tickets online is illegal in most U.S. states, so some companies have set up a concierge service in which Canadians pay for tickets and an employee technically goes out and buys the tickets for them. At no point does the Canadian hold the possibly winning ticket, meaning the billion-dollar dream — and some hard-earned cash — has been entrusted to a stranger in a foreign land. In other words, caveat emptor — and perhaps stick to the government-run lotteries on this side of the border.

Climate-action losers?
H
eading into 2016, I see an incredible momentum toward societal action for reducing greenhouse-gas emissions in Canada. Late last year, the new federal government took a leadership role in helping forge a global consensus to secure a planetary climateaction plan. Earlier, our provincial government managed to pull together a climate-action advisory team that likely surprised a lot of the pundits. Renowned environmental activists sat together with captains of industry, expert academics, First Nations leaders and community representatives. They achieved near consensus on a draft plan. Locally, city council has created a new council sustainability advisory committee. The committee, in part, will help guide our local efforts to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. Those of us who have been hoping and advocating for these actions and initiatives should be happy and excited. But, it’s also terribly important to consider the future of those who feel apprehensive or skeptical of what I’ve described above. A zealot is unlikely to change his or her mind. Thankfully, we don’t have too many zealots in Kamloops. In my experience, if the approach is genuine, most people are willing to consider how reducing greenhouse-gas emissions could be very beneficial for them personally and for the community as a whole. If we are not careful, we risk creating a large group of disaf-

Our political culture is incredibly good at fostering a totally oppositional atmosphere. Almost daily, I get emails from resource-industry associations painting the environmental movement as wanting to send us back the Stone Age. And, also almost daily, I get emails from environmental NGOS trumpeting their David and Goliath campaigns against heartless corporations that want to pillage the planet while making obscene profits. I read this stuff and it just turns me off. I think most of us can see right through it. And we don’t trust it. Community work is not a winner-take-all hockey game (go Blazers!). Good community work is forged on the sometimes very difficult, but often joyous, work of trying to find alignment and consensus among diverse groups and individuals
It is done conversation by conversation. So, to the folks who build and sell homes, it is important you meet the demands of the market and make solid livings doing so. Can we, for example, have a productive conversation about how building more compact housing in more diverse and vibrant neighbourhoods could still meet these goals? And, for homeowners and homebuyers, it is critical you find happiness and satisfaction in your home. In 2016, do the often-stated ideals of a larger home with a large yard still hold true for you? Or, like me, do you actually fail at house work and would actually prefer something more manageable? Would you trade off size of home with proximity to work, schools, parks and shopping? If you never considered taking a bus, cycling or walking instead of driving, what might encourage you to consider it? Have you considered the rapidly improving selection of electric vehicles on the market? There are many more groups and individuals to consider. I’ve just touched on a few. What’s important is we try to work together to achieve greenhousegas reductions and don’t create a large group of climate-action losers by leaving them out of this critical conversation.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR something stupid as there were consequences. Spanking surely isn’t the answer for everything; however, there are times where it is an appropriate discipline. I believe the people trying to dictate how we can raise our families should have been spanked as a kid and probably need a few good spankings now. Rob Hamby Kamloops
Spanking and anarchy
Editor: Re: (‘Spare the rod, avoid a criminal charge?’): OK, so the government, which uses force and threats of violence (do what you are told or bad things will happen to you, which is bullying) to control people wants to force people to stop using force and threats to control their children. Wait, what? The research is unambiguous — hitting children is bad. Government and hitting children are both a violation of the non-aggression principle and so are immoral. I know it is a difficult topic for people to process, but I believe future generations will look back on the concept of the state with the same horror and disbelief we have for the days of slavery. The conversation has begun and, in the end, the moral argument will win the day. I think this process is accelerating as more parents practice peaceful parenting. A child who grows up without being neglected, punished, threatened or hit by their caregivers is likely to be less comfortable with the idea that we need to point a gun at everyone to get things done. David Langevin Kamloops
A few spankings will not bring ruin
Editor: It is kind to teach a child obedience. The foundation is love, kindness and doing things together. All children are not equal and some require a firmer hand than others. When I spanked my children, which was rare, it was for defiance or lying, which was also rare because they knew it was safer to be honest. A valued trophy in my life is a letter I

I am 19 and you are my best friend! Thanks, dad!� A few spankings didn’t ruin him or our relationship. Eric McCooeye Kamloops
Spanking needs to be an option
Editor: I find this proposal ridiculous. There is a huge difference between a good parent having the option to spank for certain situations and an abusive parent. Obviously, there should be intervention for abused children. I grew up thinking twice about doing

Do not criminalize spanking
RE: STORY: KILLER ARSONIST’S HISTORY COMES OUT IN COURT:
Editor: Spanking should not be against the law. There is too much permissiveness as it is and kids have to learn consequences for their actions. Maybe more spankings would keep more of them away from delinquency. Carol Marshall Kamloops
Editor: I think the desire to criminalize spanking comes from those who were beaten, not from those who were spanked. I have experienced the benefits of having, and the drawbacks of not having, spanking as a discipline tool. Spanking should not be the first or preferred form of discipline, but to make spanking a criminal activity is going to cause a lot of problems for the police in the future as the number of children with no respect for authority increases. If we criminalize spanking, we will have to build more jails and put more bars on windows because our society as a whole will slide down yet another notch into barbarism. Jason Uppenborn Kamloops

rowing families often need a home that can grow with them. When considering a move, most people start with the question: Should I buy first or sell first? While there is no right answer, it’s important to know the potential pros and cons of both options. It’s a good idea to have a contingency plan in case your closing dates don’t align, leaving you with two homes, or no home, for a period of time.
I believe that the qualities of a good real estate agent are honesty and integrity, and someone who is hard working, knowledgeable, and dedicated. These traits are what my clients have come to expect from me. I am proud to be an established realtor.

costs of home ownership may be too much. Additionally, it may be difficult to secure a mortgage for the new home. Buyers with an existing home to sell can protect themselves by making an offer conditional on the sale of their current home. That means if they’re unable to sell within a specified period of time, they can back out of the transaction. However, this condition will likely make the offer less attractive to the seller, especially in a hot market.

The biggest benefit of selling first is the knowledge of how much money the sale will bring in. This can help determine what is available to pay for the next home. The challenge is that with a closing date looming, and potentially no home to move into, families may

nights being the high-water mark at Sun Peaks. The start of the 2005 season was also among the best in resort history. “In both cases, we’re pacing ahead,” Nicolson said. “If all things go equal and given average snow conditions, I would say we would exceed that.” Registering about 50,000 room nights to break the record might seem like a tall task to reach between now and the end of the season, but it’s set to get busier in the next few months. Aussies flock to Sun Peaks during their January summer break, along with a few Kiwis; in February, President’s Day in the U.S. means visitors galore from down south, many of whom turn the holiday into a week away at Sun Peaks; Family Day (Feb. 15) long weekend in B.C. is still to come; and young skiers and their families commandeer the slopes
during the Hub International Nancy Greene Festival, which runs on March 19 and March 20. The abysmal state of the Canadian dollar is a boon for Sun Peaks. “The U.S. market has been rebuilding over the last two to three years and, not only does our low dollar attract U.S. skiers north, it keeps Canadians at home,” Nicolson said. “We saw record numbers of people from Ontario staying in Canada and coming to Sun Peaks for both ski-team visits, as well as leisure. And, instead of going south for sun holidays, some decisions are made to stay in Canada.” Nicolson said last winter’s down season on the Coast and in Washington state is contributing to the success the resort has had since opening on Nov. 22. “With the difficult conditions on the Coast and in Seattle last year, we attracted more first-time
FREE
skiers,” Nicolson said. “And, while local skiers may have found the conditions less than average, for a lot of people coming in from around the world, they had a marvellous experience. Once people come once, generally speaking, they will return because the experience is very strong.” Brandi Schier, an avid snowboarder and publisher of Sun Peaks Independent News, said Nicolson is not just blowing smoke. Conditions have been great, she said, and they seem even better coming off a 2014-2015 to forget. “It’s above average and people are more enthusiastic because of how last season went,” Schier said. No. 1 on Nicolson’s wish-list in the months to come is more of the white stuff. “We are like farmers,” he said. “We are very dependent on the conditions. It’s not the only thing, though.

ketplace has been very good, interest in skiing in general.” He knows mountain bikers might not feel the same, but Nicolson would like to see a cold, wet, cloudy spring in Kamloops. “That perpetuates winter in the mind of the market,” he said. “If spring in the valley comes early and it gets warm and people are mountain biking, that ends winter, regardless of what’s happening on the mountain.” It is an El Nino year and some forecasters, including Environment Canada, said that might mean a milder, shorter winter. That could dash hopes for a record-setting year, but the weather system hasn’t seemed to hinder conditions at Sun Peaks so far. “The snow has been fantastic,” Nicolson said. “January, February and March are big months for destination guests and we ski into April.”

ecords may be broken this winter at Sun Peaks Resort. After what most locals considered a poor 2014-2015 for skiing atop Tod Mountain Road, Tourism Sun Peaks president Christopher Nicolson could not have asked for a better bounceback season. “I would say the year, right now, has very good potential to be a record year,” Nicolson said. “There are a whole variety of factors that are helping us.” Leading the list of reasons for the rebound is snowfall, with an alpine snow depth of 143 centimetres — 20 per cent more than this time last year — and often great weather conditions attracting visitors from near and far. The main statistic used to measure how well the mountain is doing is room nights, the number of hotel and condominium units booked at the resort. “This year to date we’re at an all-time high of over 18,000, which represents about an 11 per cent increase over last year,” Nicolson said, noting December 2015 numbers were up about six per cent from 2014. “What all the snow has done is stimulate the marketplace. Most resorts within Western Canada have had a very good Christmas. It’s fantastic to see the North Shore mountains doing so well, as well as the Seattle mountains. It has a stimulating impact. It piques interest in going further away, perhaps for a week, at resorts such as Sun Peaks. There’s a direct correlation.” Nicolson pointed to 2007-2008 as a benchmark season, with a final total of about 70,000 room

Blazers, Warriors make trade MARTY HASTINGS
B.C. Division
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Kamloops Blazers made one deal on Sunday, the WHL’s trade-deadline day, swapping import players with the Moose Jaw Warriors. Kamloops sent 19-year-old defenceman Patrik Maier and a fifth-round pick in the 2017 bantam draft to Moose Jaw in exchange for 19-year-old forward Jiri Smejkal. The relatively quiet day on Mark Recchi Way was expected. “We weren’t willing to part with any of our younger players at all,” Blazers’ general manager Stu MacGregor said. “The costs were extremely high for the high-end guys that were on the market.” “We’re still in a big growing phase, but I like the group. The coach has done a good job. The players have done a great job rallying together, learning together and working together to see a lot more positive results.” Maier, from Bratislava, Slovakia, seemed to have fallen

out of favour with Kamloops head coach Don Hay and found himself sitting in the press box a few times, despite being healthy. Smejkal, 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, has four goals and 18 points in 28 games this season and is expected to join the Blazers in time to play the Tigers in Medicine Hat tomorrow. “He’ll be in the top nine and possibly in the top six,” MacGregor said. “He can play centre or wing. That will be up to Don. “It’s not that he’s a big, pounding physical player, but he’s a big body that skates well and can make plays with the puck. He’s got good instincts to be a penalty killer and to be able to play in important defensive situations, as well.” There seemed to be

general consensus on social media that this year’s WHL trade deadline was quieter than usual, but MacGregor isn’t of that opinion. “I don’t know what people were expecting,” he said. “I thought there were some deals done previous to the final day that were of some significance. Maybe some of that took some of the traction away from the final day but, it’s interesting, I thought it was busy.” There were nine trades on Sunday, bringing the total number of deals made since the Christmas freeze ended on Dec. 26 to 22. In Sunday’s only blockbuster, the Regina Pats acquired forward Cole Sanford, 20, from Medicine Hat in exchange for forwards Gary Haden, 16, and Brian Williams, 20, and three bantam draft
picks, a third in 2016, a fifth in 2017 and a second in 2018. “I wasn’t privy to the inside talk, but I think there were some real big deals that couldn’t quite get done in time,” MacGregor said. “Not with us, just across the league.” There were 34 trades made between the end of the Christmas freeze and deadline day last season. Seven of those swaps were made on deadline day. This season, teams seemed less willing to part with 19-year-olds, as there appears to be a dearth of 1996-born players suitable to fill overage spots next season. The ultra-competitive nature of the standings across the league this season may also have kept club’s from making any major deadline splashes. “The trade deadline is a difficult time for everyone, especially with the anxiety that’s hanging for some of the players,” MacGregor said. “I’m sure they’re thrilled it’s done and I’m thrilled it’s done, as well.”
Earning maximum points
The Kamloops Blazers capped a three-win weekend with a 3-0 shutout victory over the hometown Portland Winterhawks on Sunday. Garrett Pilon scored for the visitors at 12:05 of the first period, Matt Campese tallied at 15:30 of the second period and Jake Kryski lit the lamp at 14:28 of the third period. Each goal was unassisted. Connor Ingram made 21 saves between the pipes for Kamloops, which earned a 4-3 overtime victory over the Winterhawks in Portland on Saturday and downed Tri-City 3-2 in the Tournament Capital on Friday. The Blazers left Portland on Sunday night and headed to Medicine Hat, where they will play the
Tigers tomorrow. Kamloops will finish the five-game road swing in Lethbridge on Friday and Edmonton on Sunday. After earning six points on the week-
end, the Blazers (2114-4-2) have the fifthmost points in the Western Conference. The Blazers hold the first wild-card playoff spot and are six points ahead of
the Winterhawks, who hold the second wild-card berth. Kamloops is four points back of the Prince George Cougars, who are third in the B.C. Division.

Wild-card teams in with a shot in NFL playoffs “
THE CANADIAN PRESS
Just get in is the mantra of NFL teams as they chase playoff berths. Wild-card weekend displayed why that philosophy works. Now, can the Packers, Seahawks, Steelers and Chiefs carry it further? All four took to the road and won, the first time that’s happened since the current playoff format was adopted in 1990. It was anything but easy for Seattle and Pittsburgh, slightly less challenging for Green Bay and a romp for Kansas City. Still, they swept and Aaron Rodgers suspects for the same main reason. “We’ve got a great homefield advantage but, when you go on the road, you galvanize together,’’ he said after a 35-18 win at Washington. “It’s you and your loyal fans there against the entire stadium. “We came together [Sunday]. We played for each other. There was a time there, down 11-0, where
That’s how playoffs games are, you just exhaust yourself and get ready for the next one . . .
”
— ANDY REID, CHIEFS COACH
people could have started to have that doubt creep in. But it didn’t happen today.’’ The doubt could have crept in even more for the Steelers, who needed some bone headedness by the Bengals — did someone say Bungles? — to advance. And for the Seahawks, who stood frozen on the sideline and watched Minnesota’s Blair Walsh miss a chip-shot field goal at game’s end. “I think we were fortunate that we got the win,’’ Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said after the third-coldest NFL game on record. “A lot of those times,
guys make those kicks. There’s a high percentage that they make them, but you’ve still got to do it.’’ What the Seahawks (116) now have to do is win at Carolina (15-1), which had the NFL’s best record, including a win at Seattle. The Packers (11-6) also have an unenviable task, heading to Arizona (13-3), which routed them 38-8 in Week 16. The Chiefs (12-5), winners of 11 in a row, earned a trip to New England (124) and might head there without star receiver Jeremy Maclin. A battered Pittsburgh
(11-6) goes to Denver (12-4), which it beat 34-27 in Week 15 at Heinz Field. Formidable challenges, for sure — particularly for the Steelers if three key offensive players are sidelined. All-Pro receiver Antonio Brown suffered a concussion at Cincinnati, QB Ben Roethlisberger hurt his right shoulder and running back DeAngelo Williams [foot] didn’t even suit up on the weekend. But, all four wild cards should be brimming with confidence, even if unlike in the opening round, they aren’t favoured by the oddsmakers. “They didn’t really care where we play, they wanted to know who we were going to play, and let’s go,’’ Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “They put everything in it. That’s how playoff
games are, you just exhaust yourself and get ready for the next one and exhaust yourself for that one and that’s kind of how that thing rolls. “I didn’t sense anything different from them. That’s just kind of how they’ve been. We’ll do our thing, and do it again.’’ All four wild-card winners have done relatively well away from home. Kansas City, Seattle and Green Bay were 5-3, Pittsburgh was 4-4 during the regular season. The upcoming hosts were 7-1 (New England, Carolina and Arizona) or 6-2 (Denver). The Chiefs can’t rely on Tom Brady and the Patriots to turn over the ball the way Brian Hoyer and the Texans did. Pittsburgh knows the Broncos won’t beat themselves as the Bengals did.
Green Bay fully understands the defence it will face in Arizona is far superior to Washington’s. Seattle, probably still giving thanks for Walsh’s wayward kick, knows scoring in only one quarter — and only 10 points — won’t be enough against Carolina. But, to dismiss any of them in this unusual NFL season would be folly. Rodgers has shown time and again his propensity for producing in the spotlight, and the Packers already own a Super Bowl ring as a wild card. So do the Steelers, whose resolve can never be questioned. Kansas City simply is the hottest team in pro football. And, the Seahawks didn’t make the Super Bowl the past two years, winning once and barely failing the second time, by chance. “I said this week that it just takes one,’’ Rodgers said. “It just takes one performance to get us going back in the right direction and believing that we can make a run.’’

October 24, 1926 – January 5, 2016 It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Thomas Barron (Tim) on Tuesday, January 5, 2016 at the North Shore Hospice in North Vancouver at the age of 89. Tim was born on October 24, 1926 in Armstrong, BC, was raised in Blue River, BC and spent much of his life in the Kamloops and Shuswap area. He is survived by his wife, Ivy Aulin-Barron, his children Sandra Harrison (Norman), Shaun Barron and Lori Barron (Brian Perry), his brothers William Barron (Dorothy) and George Barron (Jean), three grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, four great-great-grandchildren and numerous extended family. He will be sorely missed by his family and friends and forever remembered for his helpfulness, his kind and caring manner, his quiet strength, his genuine smile, his funny way of playing cards, and his enduring love of physical activity.
TO ALL PARENTS ... By Edgar Guest “I’ll lend you for a little time A child of Mine” He said, “For you to love while he lives, And mourn when he is dead. It may be six or seven years, Or twenty-two or three, But will you, till I call him back Take care of him for Me? He’ll bring his charms to gladden you, And should his stay be brief, You’ll have his lovely memories As solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay Since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn. I’ve looked the wide world over In my search for teachers true, And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes I have selected you. Now will you give him all your love, Nor think the labour vain, Not hate Me when I come To call and take him back again?
The family would like to extend our appreciation to the doctors, nurses and staff at the North Shore Hospice for their professional care and kindness.
I fancied that I heard them say Dear Lord, Thy will be done. For all the joy this child shall bring, The risk of grief we’ll run.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Lazy River Bed & Breakfast, 1701 Old Ferry Road, in Monte Creek at 1:00 pm on May 21, 2016.
We’ll shelter him with tenderness. We’ll love him while we may, And for the happiness we’ve known Forever grateful stay.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the North Shore Hospice.
And should the angels call for him Much sooner than we’d planned, We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes And try to understand.

Obituaries & In Memoriam ALBERT (Ab) ARTHUR ABLETT On July 28, 1935 a son entered this world in the family home of Arthur and May Ablett, at the Fairview Mines near the little town of Oliver, British Columbia. The third of what would eventually be seven children, Albert was almost instantly rechristened “Ab” … Ab Ablett … it was not a stutter, but you’d be forgiven if upon him telling you his name, you had thought it so. Eighty years later, on December 28, 2015, Ab left this world, peacefully in his sleep, in the family home near the not-so-little town of Kamloops, British Columbia. He is survived by his wife, Ella Anna of almost 58 years, two sons, David and John (Yvonne), and one daughter, Cathi (Trevor) Marshall: two granddaughters, Catherine and Sarah Ablett, two grandsons, Tysun and Chayse Marshall, three step-granddaughters, Jess and Alex Green, and Pam (Derek) DeGagne: three brothers, Doug (Marie), Gordon (Val) and Richard (Carole), and two sisters, Sheila (Godfrey) McDonald and Donna Owens (David Weddell). He was predeceased by his older sister, Vivian Harder. And into those 80 years he crammed a lot of living. Ab lived in many towns when he was young: the list includes Oliver, Kelowna, Vernon, Salmo, Ocean Falls and Vancouver where he graduated from High School, then went to work for Ford, Bacon and Davis as a surveyor in Vernon. But family was still in Vancouver, and while visiting the family he met his sister’s friend, Ella. They were married in 1958. Ella became the love of his life. They moved to Kamloops, in 1958 and Ab soon went to work for Inland Natural
Gas (Fortis) as a surveyor. But his talents for understanding complex systems resulted in him being sent to wherever there were problems, and in six years he was transferred multiple times, finding new homes in Penticton, Prince George, Summerland, (Vancouver again briefly) and Trail. When another transfer was apparent, he said “enough” and moved back to Kamloops where he returned to working as a surveyor, this time for McWilliam, White and Goble. And again, his skill in other areas found him in a cramped office at a drafting table. Ab was good at drafting, but it was not what he wanted to do. Then, in 1966 he had an idea that changed everything. AMEX: In June Ab and Ella started their own business: AMEX Exploration Services Ltd. At the time, Kamloops was hardly the place to set up shop. But Ab had a gift … he knew what Kamloops could become, and he knew it would be the centre of Mining in BC. The mining company offices, however, were all in Vancouver. So he went there, and pounded on every single door. No prospective client was too big or too small, and in the five decades that followed, he worked for hundreds of them. Of course, staking millions of mineral claims and cutting thousands of miles of survey lines is not something you do by yourself. Over those years, AMEX employed upwards of 1000 people, many of them young, inexperienced and perhaps unprepared for life.
“Ab was a great friend to us all...a mentor...a very special human being! He was responsible for bringing so many of us wayward souls together, and we’ve remained friends to this day.” – John Watters, former AMEX Bush Rat When in 1974 the government practically shut down prospecting in BC and rewrote the Mineral Act, no one knew how to stake the new claims. Ab wrote a guide to the new act that explained exactly how it worked and what prospectors had to do to secure their title. It was so accurate, clear and concise that the Ministry of Mines published the guide and gave it away free to all Free Miners. Ab also proposed several changes to the Mineral Act’s legislation, almost all of which were adopted, to improve the lot of miners and prospectors in BC.
provided services to the mining community and jobs for many young people in the Kamloops area. And for almost all of that time, the office was in the family home. In fact, many of the employees became like family, and Ab was as much their friend and their mentor as he was their boss. Golf: “… ‘Why are you so late?’ his wife chided. ‘Now wait one minute, woman. I would have you know that Charlie passed away on the third hole today.’ ‘Oh my, that’s terrible, but it still does not explain why you are so late?’ ‘Well think for a moment what it was like for me: Hit the ball, drag bloody Charlie, hit the ball, drag bloody Charlie….” It was an attitude like that, that earned Ab a 4 handicap for most of his golfing years, and even a 7 handicap as a senior; that saw him score 7 hole-in-ones; and that made him many lifelong friends from the links of the Kamloops Golf and Country Club as well as the Rivershore Golf Club. Mining: “Dad once found a hole in the middle of the title for the Afton Mine. He could have asked millions for it. Instead, he staked it in their name and only asked that they pay his expenses (probably under $50).” To say Ab had integrity is to grossly understate his true nature. Nothing could ever be “wrong” … everything was painstakingly worried to the minutest detail. The maps he drew were marvels. Ab was a member of the Kamloops Exploration Group (KEG), the Association for Mineral Exploration, BC (AME BC), the Engineers Club (Vancouver, BC) and the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC). He attended various industry events every year for decades and never stopped shaking hands and telling stories. Art: “I am not an artist … I am just a doodler.” This is true. He was a renowned “doodler” and many placemats and napkins, in restaurants fell victim to his graphic tags. The instant he sat down in a restaurant, especially one with a paper placemat, out would come the pen. A broad white space would soon turn into an elaborate landscape, with mice and birds, old logs and trees: perhaps an outhouse or a cabin; maybe a lake or a brook. But before the meal came, there would be a new piece of art in the room.
Then again in 2005, when BC abandoned the requirement to physically stake mineral claims in the bush in favour of an electronic system, Ab was able to help dozens of Mining Companies and prospectors to properly secure their title under the new system. Sometimes you can teach an old dog a new trick.
Ab would always dismiss them, just flipping the placemat over again when the food arrived, but more likely than not, with the meal came a new placemat, this one intended for its common purpose and not the canvass of an artist, the adorned placemat whisked away and shown around the room.
But all things come to an end, and in December, 2014 Ab and Ella closed the doors of AMEX. For 48 years AMEX had

Bill lost his courageous battle with lung cancer on December 29th, with his wife by his side. He leaves to mourn: his wife of 58 years, Jeanette, his two children, Roger Wise (Darlene) of Kamloops and Colette Bercu (Dan) of Nashville, his two grandchildren Stephen Weisgerber of Kamloops and Alysha Weisgerber (Mike Kelly) of Kelowna, and two great-grandchildren Tayler and Brady Kelly. He also leaves two sisters Mary (Jim) Buscholl of Medicine Hat and Marlene (Ron) Duchscherer of Prelate, Sask., and three brothers Joe Weisgerber of Myrnam, Alberta, Ed Weisgerber (Irene) of Medicine Hat and Michael (Anne) of Maple Creek, Sask., as well as many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Barbara and Mike Weisgerber and his twin brothers Victor and Wilfred Weisgerber. Bill was born on the family farm in the municipality of Sceptre, Sask. He started to break horses at an early age, worked as a farmhand and cowboyed for the Prairie Federal Cattlemen’s Association in Saskatchewan. After he married, he decided he needed a trade, went to trade school in Moose Jaw and Saskatoon, studying to be a carpenter, and apprenticed under Jeanette’s uncle, Sol Kosolofski. He branched out on his own, and, with his brother Wilf, subcontracted as a finishing carpenter in Saskatoon. In 1970, he moved his family to Thompson, Manitoba, where he was a foreman for Plainsman Homes. He soon decided this was not for him and went back to finishing carpentry with a friend. In 1972, the family moved to Kamloops where he has finished hundreds of houses, condos and town houses. Bill loved his work and took great pride in his work. He was one of the best. He never wanted to quit working, and it was a sad day when at age 70 years he had a stroke and lost his vision, forcing him to put down his hammer. Bill was a carpenter by trade, but remained a cowboy all of his life. He was never happier than when he had his own horses on his acreage in the Tranquille Valley. He loved to fish, hunt, camp, go to rodeos and spend time with family.
He was never slow to offer someone a helping hand. He once jumped to the aid of a man who was being attacked by another man with a knife, getting wounded in the process, but saving the victim’s life. He fed and provisioned a prospector that just happened upon his camp … the man had not eaten for days. And one time he stopped his car after noticing some marks in the gravel road. He climbed down an embankment to find a car, hidden under some trees, the driver pinned and unable to get free. And every day he showed generosity in every way he could. He made it his business to help the less fortunate. If you knew Ab, you loved Ab. If you met him, you probably would not forget him. A wonderful story teller, Ab had a thousand tales, some true … some not so much … but all were very entertaining. I hope he likes this one.
Ab did not want a funeral; a celebration of life will happen in the spring (details TBA). In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to your local food bank or mission, or just give someone less fortunate a few dollars and say, ‘This is from Ab.’ “Of course we can.” Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com.

JAMES RICHARD HOLBROOK “J.R.” passed peacefully on December 27, 2015 at the age of 80. He was born on June 10, 1935 in Calgary, but later the family moved to Sylvan Lake, Alberta which is where he called home early in life. His work rode the rails. He started his railway career in 1949 on a section crew with the C.P.R., but later on with Canadian National Railways, and became a Locomotive Engineer. He spent over 35 years “earning his miles” before retiring in 1990. His hobby, Country Music, was reflected in his vast record collection, playing guitar in a band at a local pub or realizing his dream of seeing Nashville & Memphis, Tennessee. He also visited Holbrook, Arizona. J.R. is predeceased by his father Perry Richard Holbrook, mother Emma Alice Holbrook, sister Laverne, sister Sandra and granddaughter Jennifer Marie. He is survived by his former wife Rose, sons Michael (Laurie), Patrick (Jennifer) and Robert, five grandkids and six great-grandkids, brothers Perry and Donald, sister Mavis and many nieces and nephews.

Bowie broke boundaries
MUSIC LEGEND DIES FROM CANCER
THE CANADIAN PRESS
NEW YORK — David Bowie, the chameleonlike star who transformed the sound — and the look — of rock with his audacious creativity and sexually ambiguous makeup and costumes, died of cancer Sunday. Bowie, whose hits included Space Oddity, Fame, Heroes and Let’s Dance, died surrounded by family, representative Steve Martin said early yesterday. The singer, who was 69, had fought cancer for 18 months. Long before alter egos and wild outfits became commonplace in pop, Bowie turned the music world upside down with the release of the 1972 album, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, which introduced one of music’s most famous personas. Ziggy Stardust was a concept album that imagined a rock star from outer space trying to make his way in the music world. The persona — the red-headed, eyelinerwearing Stardust — would become an enduring part of Bowie’s legacy and a touchstone for the way entertainers packaged themselves for years to come. Bowie’s birthday was Friday, the same day he released his new album, Blackstar. A statement on social media asked fans to respect the family’s privacy. No more details were provided. Born David Jones in London, the singer came of age in the early 1970s glam rock era. He had a striking androgynous look in his early days and was known for changing his appearance and sounds. After Ziggy Stardust, the stuttering rock sound of Changes gave way to the disco soul of Fame, co-written with John Lennon, to a droning collaboration with Brian Eno in Berlin that produced Heroes. He had some of his biggest successes in the early 1980s with the bombastic Let’s

Dance and a massive American tour. Another definitive song was Under Pressure, which he recorded with Queen; Vanilla Ice would years later infamously use the song’s hook for his smash hit Ice Ice Baby. “My entire career, I’ve only really worked with the same subject matter,’’ Bowie told The Associated Press in a 2002 interview. “The trousers may change, but the actual words and subjects I’ve always chosen to write with are things to do with isolation, abandonment, fear and anxiety — all of the high points of one’s life.’’ Bowie lived in West Berlin in the late 1970s and Mayor Michael Mueller said yesterday Heroes became “the hymn of our thendivided city and its longing for freedom.’’ Germany’s foreign ministry added Bowie was “now among heroes’’ and thanked him for “helping to bring down the wall.’’ Bowie’s performance of Heroes was also a highlight at a concert for rescue workers after the 2001 World Trade Center attacks. “What I’m most proud of is that I can’t help but notice that I’ve affected the vocabulary of pop music. For me, frankly, as an artist, that’s the most satisfying thing for the ego,’’ Bowie said. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996, but didn’t attend the ceremony. Madonna accepted for him and recounted how a Bowie concert changed her life when she attended it as a teenager. David Byrne of the art rockers Talking Heads inducted Bowie and said he gave rock
music a necessary shot in the arm. “Like all rock ‘n’ roll, it was visionary, it was tasteless, it was glamorous, it was perverse, it was fun, it was crass, it was sexy and it was confusing,’’ Byrne said. Bowie kept a low profile in recent years after a reported heart attack in the 2000s. He made a moody album three years ago called The Next Day — his first recording in a decade. Blackstar, which earned positive reviews from critics, represented yet another stylistic shift, as he gathered jazz players to join him. “David always did it his way and his way was the least obvious way,’’ said Tony Visconti, Bowie’s longtime producer. “He was a true genius who proved it over and over again through groundbreaking albums.’’ Bowie released a music video on Friday for the new song Lazarus, which shows a frail Bowie lying in bed and singing the track’s lyrics. The song begins with the line: “Look up here, I’m in heaven.’’ On the U.S. iTunes albums chart, which updates frequently throughout the day to reflect digital purchases from users, Bowie’s Blackstar peaked at No. 1 yesterday. Best of Bowie was No. 2 and two other Bowie albums reached the Top 10. His music has also been electrifying audiences this winter in New York in the soldout new off-Broadway musical Lazarus, led by Michael C. Hall of Dexter fame and inspired by the 1963 science-fiction novel The Man Who Fell to Earth. Tributes poured in for the singer after the announcement of his death. British astronaut Tim Peake tweeted about his sadness from outer space aboard the
International Space Station, saying “his music was an inspiration to many.’’ British Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted his death is “a huge loss.’’ He wrote he had grown up listening to and watching Bowie and called the singer a “master of reinvention’’ and a pop genius who kept on getting it right. Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger, in a statement, said Bowie was his inspiration and “a true original. “He was wonderfully shameless in his work we had so many good times together,’’ Jagger said. “He was my friend. I will never forget him.’’ Former Beatle Paul McCartney also paid tribute, calling Bowie “a great star. “His music played a very strong part in British musical history,’’ McCartney wrote on his website. Bowie felt uneasy about some of his greatest material, once embarking on a “greatest hits’’ tour saying it would be the last time performing much of his old material. He later relented, however. “I’m not a natural performer,’’ he said in the 2002 interview. “I don’t enjoy performing terribly much. Never have. I can do it and, if my mind’s on the situation, do it quite well. But five or six shows in, I’m dying to get off the road and go back into the studio.’’ Bowie was married twice, to actress and model Mary Angela Barnett from 1970 to 1980 and to supermodel Iman since 1992. He had two children — Duncan Jones and Alexandria Zahra Jones — one with each wife. The two-time Grammy Award winner was remembered by The Recording Academy as a “Renaissance man and visionary artist.”

NATIONAL NEWS RESETTLING OF 10,000 SYRIAN REFUGEES COULD BE MET TODAY
OTTAWA — Today could be the day the influx of Syrian refugees to Canada hits 10,000, two weeks after the initial target date. Flight arrival data posted on
the Immigration Department’s website suggests the 10,000th Syrian will arrive on one of two flights bound for Toronto, though the department could not confirm that.
In November, the Liberals said 10,000 Syrians would arrive in Canada by the end of 2015, but they now expect it by the middle of this month. Of roughly 8,000

CANADIAN CAPTURED BY TALIBAN FIVE YEARS AGO FREED OTTAWA — A Canadian man captured by the Taliban in 2010 has been freed. Colin Rutherford was on a private vacation in Afghanistan when he was seized by the militant group in November of that year. The last indication the Toronto man’s family had he was alive came in a 2011 video released by insurgents where he answered questions; an accompanying email accused Rutherford, then 26, of being a spy. In the video, Rutherford insisted he was not a spy and had travelled to Afghanistan to study historical sites, old buildings and shrines. Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion announced Rutherford’s release in a brief statement, but did not explain what steps were taken to secure his freedom — only that it involved the government of Qatar. He said he was “very pleased that efforts’’ undertaken to get him out proved successful. Rutherford was working as an auditor with the Canadian Circulations Audit Board in Toronto when he went on vacation to Afghanistan in 2010. The involvement of Qatar in Rutherford’s release is not entirely surprising. The Persian Gulf country has at times quietly played mediator between western governments and the Taliban — even helping facilitate peace negotiations between governments in Kabul and the hardline insurgency. The Taliban have openly maintained a political office in the capital of Doha since 2013. — Canadian Press

TORONTO — The pediatric surgeons hover over a tiny heart, gently retracting delicate inner structures and attaching a graft with impossibly intricate stitches to repair a congenital defect that would mean certain death within days of birth. But, this heart isn’t inside the chest cavity of a newborn; it’s a 3D-printed model being used at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto to train cardiac surgeons from around the world in some of the most complex operations they will ever perform during their careers. About a dozen trainees — from Canada and such countries as Norway, Oman, Mexico and the United States — have come to watch master surgeons demonstrate the highly complicated techniques used to repair a number of congenital heart abnormalities and to safely practise those skills on models of their own. Three-dimensional copies have been created of five hearts from real infants with cardiac anomalies using a high-tech 3D-printer, which almost perfectly reproduces the organ’s structure using a photopolymer resin, based on sophisticated MRI and CT imaging. “Each of the models represents a very specific form of disease that is very different,’’ said Dr. Glen Van Arsdell, chief of cardiovascular surgery at Sick Kids. “I can look at the model and tell you what the diagnosis is.’’ The 3D-printed hearts — some orange, others whitish in colour — were produced by Dr. Shi-Joon Yoo, a cardiac radiologist at the hospital. Depending on its size, a duplicate of a child’s heart can take anywhere from four to 12 hours to produce, as layer upon layer of the resin is built up, he says. While the cost is somewhat prohibitive — estimated at about $2,000 per model — Yoo said the technology means hundreds of copies can be printed after imaging a single child’s heart to demonstrate a particular defect. “Anybody can practise on the same structure, so that is the real value of that.’’ Van Arsdell said trainees have come to Toronto to learn procedures that would typically take years to learn by watching and assisting senior surgeons before they would be allowed to perform the operation on their own. For some, such expertise isn’t available in their home countries. Some operations would never have been done before by these surgeons, he said, adding that the teaching session provides mentoring in an environment that doesn’t jeopardize patient health. With such highly intricate surgery, “the consequences are dire if you don’t get it exactly right; this is a way to practise it when the consequences are not dire,’’ Arsdell said. “And, if it’s not quite right, we can advise the trainees or they can modify without having any problems for a real patient.’’ Dr. Juan Roberto Contreras of Temuco, Chile, said he does cardiac surgery only in adults but wants to expand his practice to children in the coming years. While the resin used is superior to earlier 3D-printing materials, the models still don’t feel quite life-like and are weaker than real heart tissue, said Spray, who nevertheless calls them good for training. Some centres have begun using the technology to create organs or sections of tissue modelled on a specific patient’s anatomy in preparation for a complicated surgery, perhaps one that has never been performed before; doctors use the models as surrogates during practice runs to help plot out the operation.

Night at the movies KAMLOOPS FILM SOCIETY PRESENTS ITS WINTER FILM SERIES Famed film critic Pauline Kael once said “good movies make you care, make you believe in possibilities again.” The Kamloops Film Society will present some award-winning movies to accomplish that goal as it opens its annual winter film series. Beginning on Thursday, the films will be screened on five consecutive Thursdays at Paramount Theatre, 531 Victoria St., starting at 7 p.m. Tickets are $8 and $5 for Thompson Rivers University students. A $2 society membership is required to buy tickets. Both can be bought at MovieMart or online at kamloopsfilmsociety.ca. Movie tickets can also be bought at the theatre. Sample the upcoming films below. Feb. 4 remains to be announced.
Featured films: Jan. 14:
Al Purdy Was Here, directed by Brian Johnson, written by Johnson and Marni Jackson, 90 minutes. The film on the celebrated Canadian poet includes many others from the country’s arts and culture community, including Margaret Atwood, Bruce Cockburn, Leonard Cohen, Sarah Harmer and, through archival footage, Purdy himself. It follows Purdy’s life that saw him go from poverty and failure to becoming the country’s pre-eminent poet and of building an A-frame cabin that became a mecca for many Canadian authors. Juxtaposed with the story is the move by many of those same people to restore the cabin and turn it into a writer’s retreat. The movie won third in the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Jan. 21:
My Internship in Canada, written and directed
by Philippe Falardeau, 108 minutes. The comedy tells the story of an idealistic young Haitian who moves to rural Quebec to intern for an independent MP who holds the tie-breaking vote in an issue that has sparked a national debate and could lead to Canada going to war. The movie won Best Canadian Feature Film from the Toronto Film Critics Association and at the Toronto International Film Festival. It was nominated for Best Supporting Actor (Patrick Huard) and Best Supporting Actress (Suzanne Clement) in a Canadian Film by the Vancouver Film Critics Circle and Falardeau was nominated for the Art Cinema and Political Film awards at the Hamburg Film Festival.
Jan. 28:
Jafar Panahi’s Taxi, written, directed and starring Jafar Panahi, 82 minutes. In 2010, the Iranian director was sentenced to

house arrest and banned from making films for 20 years. To get around that, he shot two features entirely inside his apartment (This Is Not A Film) and summer house (Closed Curtain). For this film, he got in a taxi in Tehran. It won the top prizes at the Berlin International Film Festival, audience choice at the Mumbai Film Festival, Best Foreign Language Film at the San Diego Film Critics Society Awards and was nominated for the top prize at the Fribour
International Film Festival and the People’s Choice Award at the Melbourne International Film Festival.
Feb. 11:
45 Years, directed by Andrew Haigh, who adapted the script from a short story by David Constantine. The romantic drama stars Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay as Kate and Geoff Mercer, planning to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary when Geoff receives a letter that impacts their marriage.
The film was nominated for 30 awards and won 12, all for Rampling, Courtenay and Haigh. Among the awards were for best actor and actress at the Berlin International Film Festival and the Women Critics Circle Awards. Rampling won another six Best Actress awards and The National Board of Review in the U.S. named it first on its list of the Top 10 Independent Films of 2015.
Feb. 18:
Rams, written and directed by Grimur Hakonarson,
93 minutes. The drama, which stars Sigurour Sigurjonsson and Theodor Juliusson, is the story of brothers who live next to each other and raise their family’s ancestral sheep, considered to be the best in Iceland. Despite working together, they have not spoken to each other in 40 years. A lethal disease hits the sheep one brother is caring for and the authorities decide to cull all the animals in the area to contain the outbreak. The brothers have other ideas; one picks up a rifle and one uses his wits and, eventually, they realize they have to work together to save the sheep, which have a special lineage, from extinction. Hakonarson won top awards 11 film festivals, including the Cannes Film Festival. The jury at the Denver International Film Festival that gave it the Best Feature Film award said it won “for its evocative filming of landscapes, for placing us in the midst of a way of life coming to a devastating end and for making a film that moves us from pure hate to pure love.”

Researchers at the University of Ohio have proven exactly how emotional stresses impact our bodies. In essence, long standing stresses can change our DNA’s behaviour! Dr. Preety Desai This in turn affects our whole body and can contribute to inflammatory diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and of course I see people every day with chronic gum disease and subsequent tooth loss. This cause and effect mechanism occurs when chronic stress changes the gene activity of immune cells in the bone marrow prior to entering the bloodstream so that they’re ready to FIGHT infection or trauma when there is none! .... This is chronic inflammation. Your body is on physiological “high alert”. NOT HEALTHY! Humans were designed to respond to acute/short term stress and insult such as saber tooth tigers, fires or trauma but a constant unnecessary high alert of your immune system has been linked to a range of conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, depression and even cancer. So if you work for a terrible boss, over years this will result in changes in genetic expression of your fighter cells in your immune system resulting in health issues and reduction in quality of life! In addition, the mouth has an accumulation of bacteria between the gums and teeth (ie pockets), the science of epigenetics has proven that the local fighter cells are also on high alert and this results in bone loss, eventually tooth loss..... all of which can be avoided by “removal” of these bacteria; ie periodontal debridement can treat this condition. Over 80% of people have periodontal disease which is mostly preventable. Researchers proved this by studying male mice living together and over time, these mice established a hierarchy (akin to Lord of the Flies). When an additional alpha male mouse was introduced into this group - two hours later all the original mice had a four fold increase of immune cells on high alert in their blood and spleen, versus non-stressed mice. Furthermore, compared with the non-stressed mice, 1/3 of the cells were responsible for causing more inflammation. Humans are not mice but similar results were found in humans as UCLA proved. Comparing people living in different socioeconomic neighborhoods, the poorer populations had 387 genes identified which were up-regulated genes and all were pro-inflammatory. In addition, 1/3 of the genes affected by chronic stress were the same in both humans and mice. So if New Year’s resolutions are your thing, or even if they are not ..... less stress is easily said but hard to implement. The science behind it shows that if you reduce your stress, your quality of life and keeping your teeth longer are all in the cards! Happy New Year Kamloops!

herry Docs is not a play for everyone. That reality is unfortunate because, at a time when the world is grappling with refugees, immigrants and hate, the story it tells could not be more relevant. As the debut production of The Other Theatre Company, it also makes a strong statement of just how far its director and founder, Glen Cairns, is prepared to take an audience. At the same time, he provides local actors Nigel Beardwood and Todd Sullivan with a script that has taken their acting to another level. Beardwood is Michael Downey, a young neo-Nazi skinhead who, wearing the titular cherry Doc Martens — complete with steel toe and shank — kicked an immigrant so many times the man eventually died. Sullivan is Daniel Dunkelman, his Jewish legal-aid lawyer, a man who really doesn’t want to take this case and finds his client, a man who spits out “In an ideal world, I’d see you eliminated,” to be repelling. The stage in the black-box Pavilion
Glen Cairns (above) is founder and director of The Other Theatre Company, which recently debuted its first production, Cherry Docs. The play continues at Pavilion Theatre until Jan. 24.
KTW
REVIEW Theatre is sparse; there’s a table, some chairs, a trash can, a briefcase and a leather case Dunkelman cherishes because it once belonged to his father. Behind, projections on the wall move the audience along through the story from Day One, Winter Solstice to Day Seven and the climactic finish to David Gow’s script, a finalist in 1999 for the Chalmers Canadian Play Awards. This is a word-heavy script; each actor has
many self-revelatory monologues that connect the scenes of interaction and tell the audience a bit more about each of them. For Dunkelman, that includes the importance of his Jewish heritage but also the key moment when he realizes his liberal beliefs fuelling his determination to give Downey some kind of defence have led to the end of his marriage. Sullivan is at his best in this latter
scene, a man broken by the realization his beliefs have cost him his love. And Downey reaches his apex in the scene where Dunkelman forces him to read aloud the statement given to police by his victim before he died. Gow’s two-hander is a tight play that confronts challenging issues. It’s demanding, confrontational and brave, qualities that have seen it become one of the most successful dramas in Canada and performed in the U.S., Germany, Poland and Israel. Under Cairns’
direction and design, The Other Theatre Company has made an auspicious debut in Kamloops. It will be fascinating to see what it does next. Cherry Docs continues to Jan. 24. Curtain time is 8 p.m. Tuesdays to Saturdays; there are 2 p.m. matinees on Sundays. There are no performances on Mondays. Tickets are $24 and $18.50 for students and seniors. Matinee performances are paywhat-you-can. Tickets are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

Aries, finding time to get everything done can be challenging. Fortunately, you have quite a few friends willing to spare some time and lend you a helping hand.
Difficult decisions can take time to work through, Taurus. Although you want to address all situations, this week isn’t a good one for making big decisions.

A hectic schedule may have you feeling some pressure, Cancer. Keep in mind that all of your deadlines are self-imposed, so just factor a little more time into your week.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
Leo, sometimes you have to make a few mistakes before you get things right. Don’t let this worry you, as trial and error is all a part of the learning process.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
Virgo, you may suspect what’s around the corner, but you are not ready to take the plunge just yet. Give it a little more time until you feel ready and secure.
Work with your doctor to develop a plan for meeting some healthy resolutions, Libra. It is important to make your health a priority this week.
Scorpio, it may prove impossible to escape all of your responsibilities right now, but you can let a few slide for the time being. Tackle the most daunting projects first.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
You cannot avoid a complex issue forever, Sagittarius. Come clean with the person you may have been hiding from, and work with this person to reach a resolution.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Capricorn, it may be frightening to reveal your true feelings about something, especially when the truth might change your life in a dramatic way. Muster your courage.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Others appreciate all that you do for them, Aquarius. But sometimes they have to do for themselves to learn valuable lessons. This week is a time to step aside.

This vibrant blend combines the two Cabs for a rich, fruity wine redolent with cherry, red berry, cassis, spice and vanilla aromas. The palate is generous with black and red berry flavours, notes of herbs and spice with firm tannins.
Juicy & fresh, this deliciously aromatic blend is the perfect unity of the popular varietals. rb Blanc offers citrus and fresh herb elements, while Muscat brings inn ght stone fruit and floral notes. Bright fruit aromas lead into refreshingg rs citrus, peach, and melon flavours with a hint of tropical sweetnesss and a light, crisp finish.
Medium-bodied and deep garnet in colour with gentle aromas of ripe dark fruit, warm oak, and a touch of earth and spice. This fruit-forward red boasts mouthfilling black cherry and dark plum flavours and gentle savoury spice which lingers on the smooth finish
