WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

This week, we look back at some of the stories and newsmakers of 2015 and years previous

Long before KGHM Ajax pro-posed establishing an industry that threatened city air quality, a Manitoba entrepreneur armed with a government grant whipped up a frenzy of opposition with his plans.

Despite receiving a permit from the Ministry of Environment allowing him to build a gasifica-tion plant, Kim Sigurdson made the decision five years ago to leave town after he was greeted with fierce and continued opposition.

Using new technology and a grant from the province, Sigurdson’s firm, Aboriginal Cogeneration, proposed a clean

and green way of getting rid of old railway ties.

The gasification technology would be used at a Mission Flats location to create power to add to the BC Hydro grid.

After pulling the plug on his plans in March of 2010, Sigurdson failed to find another location and gave up on the deal.

Still based in Manitoba, he said in a recent telephone interview the company is working on infra-structure solutions for remote, off-the-grid communities, be they in Canada’s north or in South America.

He said a “containerized solution” would see old railway ties gasified in order to power a potable water plant or to process

sewage, for example. It is also working on solar, wind and run-of-the-river projects.

“They’re all containerized — plug and play,” he said.

As for his failed Kamloops proposal, Sigurdson blames politi-cians, including MLA Terry Lake and Mayor Peter Milobar, for what he claims was an anti-business attitude that pandered to a minor-ity of people with strident objec-tions to his plan.

“I should have just stood my ground,” he said.

Sigurdson said he still has a valid permit to locate the gasifica-tion plant in Kamloops. He added an official protest lodged against it with the Environmental Appeal Board has now lapsed.

Happy ending to saga of Kamloops’ saddest robber

A permanent resident from Fiji threatened with deportation to a country he left at 11 years old will remain in Canada and is training to become a drug and alcohol counsel-lor.

Feroz Buksh, dubbed the “sad-dest robber” after a failed hold up at a convenience store when he stole food and broke down in tears, was released from jail in July.

He pleaded guilty to robbery and using an imitation firearm in the commission of an offence, crimes for which he received an 18-month jail sentence. After being released from jail, he entered a 35-day treatment program in Maple Ridge.

Buksh said he received a letter from Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) telling him he will not be deported to Fiji. He has two adult children in Canada and has not lived in the South Pacific nation since he was a boy.

Because he was given a sentence of more than six months, Buksh — who lived in Canada for 34 years, but never applied to become a Canadian citizen — came under review by the CBSA for removal from this country. There is no appeal of a decision by a single-member panel.

“They gave me a chance,” Buksh said in a telephone interview from the campus of Stenberg College in Surrey, where he is enrolled in a mental health and addictions coun-selling program.

Buksh, 45, walked into the Tranquille Market store at 1170 Tranquille Rd. on an afternoon in September of 2014 and asked the clerk for some hot food and 10 packs of cigarettes.

Buksh tried to pay for the items with a pre-paid Visa card.

When that failed, he demanded money from the till and said he had a gun.

Amid the demand, Buksh began to cry, telling the clerk he was going to use the money to pay for bills, explaining he was in midst of divorce.

Buksh grabbed the money and ran outside. As he did, the bag broke and its contents spilled out.

INSIDE KTW

THE SCIENCE OF KNOWLEDGESix-year-old Cole Cassidy helps Susan Hammond show how Santa may use air pressure to keep toys from flying out of the bag in flight during his recent visit to Kamloops. The pre-Christmas event was held at the Big Little Science Centre. For more information on what is happening at the popular North Shore facility, go online to biglittlesciencecentre.org.

Details surrounding the group of refu-gees bound for Kamloops through private sponsorships have changed.

Martha Ashbaugh of Refugees and Friends Together (RAFT) said one of the four families originally destined for Kamloops discovered it has a relative in Toronto and has decided to move there.

A second family RAFT volunteers expect-ed to arrive with one child is now headed to Kamloops with two kids.

Ashbaugh said there is still no firm indi-cation when the three families will arrive.

She’s been told notice could range from 48 hours to 72 hours.

RAFT is ready, she said, noting the city has provided it with storage space to keep donations, accommodations have been found and even something as simple as a need for a bunk bed was filled by someone within hours of the request being made.

Ashbaugh is hopeful RAFT will be able to bring additional refugees to the city through the federal government program now in effect.

Because of the federal focus to bring in

10,000 refugees now and, eventually, 25,000, there are no lists of privately sponsored ref-ugee families RAFT can refer to, Ashbaugh said.

But, she’s hopeful that list will be avail-able again early next year as her organiza-tion is eager to bring in many more families.

RAFT is also working with the Kamloops Islamic Association to sponsor a family.

Volunteers who have offered to help with English tutoring have been meeting and preparing for the new arrivals, Ashbaugh said, while many groups in the city have been raising money to help with resettle-ment.

A look back at some of the stories and newsmakers of 2015 and years previous

It’s been almost nine months since fire tore through the McLure Restaurant, turning the small community’s social heart into a pile of smoking rubble.

And, not much has changed since then.

“No, they haven’t rebuilt yet,” Noel Johnson, chief of the McLure Volunteer Fire Department, told KTW.

“I haven’t heard anything about it [whether they will] myself.”

Emergency crews were called to the restaurant on the

Yellowhead Highway in McLure just before 10 p.m. on April 4.

Firefighters remained on scene for 16 hours, protecting potentially explosive propane tanks and stopping the fire from spreading to nearby hillsides.

The police investi-gation into the blaze is over.

A Barriere RCMP representative con-firmed to KTW the file is concluded and no charges have been rec-ommended.

The representa-tive said the evidence found at the scene is consistent with an electrical fire.

Kamloops Mounties are investigating a robbery down-town on Wednesday morning.

Cpl. Cheryl Bush said a man walked into the Kipp Mallery drug store at Victoria Street and Third Avenue at about 8:45 a.m. and demanded cash while show-ing a firearm.

He received some money and fled from the store, possibly on a red-coloured bike.

He left behind the firearm, which police determined was an imitation weapon.

The robber is in his 20s and was wearing dark-coloured jeans, a black jacket, a black hoodie, a black ball cap and a black scarf.

He was wearing tan-coloured work boots.

Anybody with informa-tion on the robber can contact Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

VALLEYVIEW CRASH SENDS ONE TO HOSPITALA man was treated last week for life-threatening injuries after a crash on the Trans-Canada Highway in Valleyview. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said emergency crews were called to Highway 1 near Oriole Road at about 6 a.m. on Wednesday. Investigators believe a vehicle left the road, collided with a power pole and then returned to the roadway, where it was struck by another vehicle. West-bound traffic on Highway 1 was diverted through Valleyview for much of Wednesday morning. The investigation into the crash is ongoing.

A Kamloops man who in 2013 was the subject of an investiga-tion by a national anti-terrorism unit has been ordered to spend the next six weeks in jail for breaching his curfew.

Tristan Fernandez, 19, pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court to breach of pro-bation after he violated conditions imposed by a judge following a 2012 house fire he admitted to setting on purpose.

In 2012, when he was

16, Fernandez pleaded guilty to arson and break-and-enter charges stemming from a house fire that killed a family’s pet dog.

At the time, court heard Fernandez broke into a Clearwater Avenue home to steal a gaming console.

Before he left, he set the house ablaze by lighting cologne-soaked towels on fire.

Despite his youth, Fernandez was sen-tenced as an adult and ordered to serve 18

months in jail followed by three years of proba-tion — the terms by which he is still bound.

In November 2013, the Crown had Fernandez’s probation conditions tightened after he popped up on the radar of the RCMP’s national-security enforcement team.

The anti-terror-ism unit searched Fernandez’s home, turning up weapons and a list of locations of Greyhound bus termi-nals.

Fernandez has a criminal record dating back to 2011, when he was jailed four months for sexual assault.

He also has convic-tions for uttering threats and multiple breaches.

On Nov. 30, police were called to a Kamloops home after a woman reported a num-ber of men banging on her door and running around her house.

When officers arrived, Fernandez was found on the property.

Fernandez was arrested at about 11 p.m. — two hours after his probation curfew of 9 p.m.

Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison sentenced Fernandez to 45 days in jail.

Sentencing judge Stephen Harrison called Buksh “a sympathetic character.”

Defence lawyer Jay Michi, who represented Buksh at his sentencing hearing, said he is happy to see a motivated Buksh remain in Canada.

“If someone who has hit rock bottom can help someone else who’s hit rock bottom, that’s the Canadian way — rather than making them homeless in a foreign country,” Michi said.

Buksh said the origi-nal warning of a depor-tation review came via a letter while he was in jail.

“I didn’t know whether I was going to leave from the jail to an airplane,” he said, not-ing he is grateful for the reprieve and wants to use his life experience to help others in the throes of addiction.

“I’ve got a lot of street smarts in that category,” Buksh said, calling the robbery “a low point of my life.”

BUKSH TO HELP OTHERSFrom A1

Former nurse in courtA former registered nurse

who fell into alcoholism and drug addiction has pleaded guilty to assaulting a nurse at Royal Inland Hospital.

Provincial court judge Stephen Harrison gave Donald Robert Clarke — a 47-year-old with an extensive criminal record, including for violent offences — a suspended sen-tence, saying Clarke’s mental challenges contributed to his recent crime and that he is under the supervision of work-ers with the Interior Health Authority.

Danika Heighes, an articling student with the Kamloops Crown counsel office, told Harrison that Clarke was in hos-pital on Dec. 22, 2014.

He has suffered from liver failure and pneumonia.

Heighes said Clarke was wandering naked on the seventh

floor, “security in tow,” when he went into a kitchen area and demanded access to a blanket warmer.

Heighes said the nurse on duty was concerned with hygiene and ordered Clarke to leave and get dressed.

“Mr. Clarke snapped at her and told her he’d punch her in the face,” Heighes said.

That was followed by a punch, partially deflected by intervening security guards, to the nurse’s chest.

She was not seriously injured. Heighes added it was “more

of a push than a punch.”Clarke has 51 offences on his

criminal record, including for robbery and assault.

Defence lawyer Don Campbell said Clarke starting smoking marijuana at nine years of age and began drinking daily at 13.

Despite his addictions, Clarke completed a nursing degree at University of Alberta, work-ing for a decade as a registered

nurse.He was married and had two

children.But, he fell back into addic-

tions, including to crystal meth.Campbell said those addic-

tions have caused Clarke serious physical problems, including advanced liver disease.

That, in turn, has led to a state of mental confusion.

Clarke is assisted daily by mental-health workers from the IHA’s King Street program.

While Crown and defence asked for a conditional sen-tence order, Harrison said the law requires that to include reporting to probation officials, something Clarke is incapable of doing on a regular basis.

Instead, Harrison levied the suspended sentence and one year of probation.

Terms include that Clarke not go to pubs or bars, a firearms ban and an order requiring him to take medication as prescribed or report his refusal to probation officials.

City worker’s fate decided in January

The City of Kamloops and the union representing municipal workers have completed an arbi-tration hearing to decide the fate of a worker.

City CAO David Trawin said the two sides argued last week in front an arbitrator from the B.C. Labour Relations Board.

A final decision on the fate of Joe Cupello is expected in the middle of January.

Earlier this year, the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 900 grieved the firing of Cupello, who was let go after claiming to do work he had not done.

Cupello had a previous record of four instances of misconduct on the job.

“The Employer asserted this disciplinary record shows a pattern of failing to perform required duties and of dishon-esty when questioned about such failures,” original arbitrator Robert Diebolt ruled.

But, Diebolt also ruled the city wrongly suggested the shop steward who should attend, add-ing the steward did little in the meeting to assist Cupello.

Those failings, Diebolt ruled, breached a section of the collec-tive agreement between the city and the union.

While the Labour Relations Board ordered Cupello reinstat-ed with lost wages, seniority and benefits, it also ordered he serve a 30-day suspension without pay for his actions.


Single parents head back to workforce

The B.C. government’s new training and employment program for single parents has enrolled more than 1,300 people since it began on Sept. 1.

The program covers tuition, day care and transportation costs for up to a year of on-the-job training or education towards in-demand jobs for single parents on social assistance or disability payments.

The benefits can continue for up to the first year of employment, includ-ing extension of government-paid dental and other health benefits.

It replaces the previous system, often referred to as the welfare trap, where single parents would lose their assistance payments and benefits if they went back to school to train for a job.

Social Development Minister Michelle Stilwell called the results of the program’s first four months “a very

good sign,” particularly since about 400 of the voluntary participants are not in the ministry’s “expected to work” category because their children are under the age of three.

Of the 1,330 people signed up to the program as of mid-December, 50 are already on the job in construction, retail, health and community service positions.

More than 90 per cent of partici-pants are single mothers, reflecting the fact that women are 90 per cent of the 16,000 single parents receiving income and disability assistance in B.C.

The ministry cites research show-ing children who grow up in an income-assistance family are up to three times more likely to become dependent on income assistance themselves later in life.

The death of former B.C. premier Bill Bennett on Dec. 4 prompted the tradi-tional round of polite

tributes.He was the man from

Kelowna who remade Vancouver, with SkyTrain, BC Place stadium and Expo 86 putting the city on the world map. He won three majority governments before handing over the steering wheel of a smoothly running Social Credit Party to Bill Vander Zalm.

Outside B.C., wire service obituaries ran to a few para-graphs, defining Bennett first as the “architect of financial restraint in the province.”

It seems an ordinary notion today, but when Bennett unleashed his restraint program on the B.C. government in 1983, it was presented as a right-wing coup on a socialist utopia.

I was in journalism school in Vancouver when unions orga-nized a general strike and mass street demonstrations under the banner of Operation Solidarity, appropriated from the struggle against Poland’s communist dictators. Their goal was to bring the recently re-elected govern-ment to its knees.

The newly tabloid Vancouver Province, itself largely controlled by some of B.C.’s most militant unions, was a screeching ban-shee of the big-labour left.

“Socred hitmen swoop on rights workers,” its front page declared after 400 layoff notices were issued to provincial staff.

This propaganda was the public’s guide and my profes-sional role model.

A bit of background: The B.C.

economy was in the grip of an international recession, hitting resource industries and govern-ment revenues hard.

Bennett had ousted the Dave Barrett NDP government in 1975, but the legacy lived on.

During the NDP’s three-year reign, for example, education spending increased 13 per cent in the first year and 23 per cent in each of the next two years.

The blitz of restraint legisla-tion reasserted government’s authority to control the size and wages of provincial staff, rein-stated the province’s ability to pay, eliminated various boards and increased the provincial sales tax to seven per cent to pay the bills.

Another Bennett legacy was dismantling the monopoly chokehold of big international unions on public heavy con-struction.

Growing up in northeastern B.C., I had seen the impres-sive pay for jobs on highway construction, about twice what I earned labouring for a non-union contractor doing city work.

A couple of friends discov-

ered the inside track to securing labouring jobs on a provincially funded highway project.

After joining the union, those in the know could visit a busi-ness agent and hand over $500 cash. Within days, the lucky win-ner would be “name requested” to join the crew, vaulting over those who thought paying dues and working their way up the seniority list would be enough.

This struggle over public con-struction continues today, with BC Hydro’s decision to make the Site C dam an open shop.

The main contract was awarded to a consortium work-ing with the Christian Labour Association of Canada, an alter-native union known by more colourful names among old-line building trades.

After graduating from jour-nalism school, I landed my first full-time job as a reporter for the Kelowna Capital News, shortly before Bennett announced his retirement from the premier’s office to finish his term as a backbench MLA.

Bennett and I would sometimes arrive for work together, parking our rusty 1976 Chevrolets on Bernard Avenue, where he kept an office above the family furniture store.

I found out later that Bennett’s modest old sedan was the government-issue car he had used during his entire 10 years as premier.

The party bought it for him as a humorous retirement gift and he continued to drive it to work.

No frills.That was Bill Bennett.

GIVE THE GIFT OF YOUR TIME

This week marks the 12th and final feature in Kamloops This Week focusing on Volunteer Kamloops’ volunteer of the month (look for it in Friday’s edition and online at kamloopsthisweek.com).

KTW teamed up with Volunteer Kamloops during its 30th anniversary celebrations to profile some of the people who give their time for the common good.

Volunteers are the backbone of any community. People who work tirelessly, not for a paycheque, but because they want to help and they care about others and the community itself.

There could never have been the 1993 Canada Summer Games, the 1998 World Men’s and Women’s Curling Championships, the 1995 Memorial Cup or last year’s Tim Hortons Brier without volunteers.

And, without volunteers, there is no Music in the Park, Ribfest, Canada Day festivities or Overlanders Day celebration.

Now is a good time to salute the selfless as the holiday season is a time when these volunteers

shine brighter than ever.Walk into any store and you’ll find someone standing in front of

a pot, ringing a bell, looking for donations. Visit the Kamloops Food Bank and you’ll find numerous people stocking shelves and lending a hand.

The same can be said for countless other organizations that just want to help. (And, if you do stop by these establishments, don’t forget to leave a donation).

By donating, you become part of the volunteer process. You may not be volunteering your time, but you are offering something for free to help others.

The challenge every year for these kinds of organizations is the need for volunteers and donations doesn’t end at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve. The holiday season may be coming to an end, but the need of others goes on and on.

Rational Thoughts col-umn of Dec. 22 (‘Merry Winter Solstice!’):

I would like to wish him similar good wishes.

Several people close to me, young and old, read the column and the prevailing sentiment has been one of despair with the human trag-edies occurring around our wee planet, which seem to be based on the schoolyard politics of “my God’s better than your God and I’ll kill you just to prove it.”

There remains, how-ever, a sense of joy at the wonders we have to appreciate at this time of year. So, let us celebrate the lengthening of our daylight hours as we go about our winter activi-ties with thoughts of peace and well-being to all, regardless of race, colour or religion.

We can count on Solstice returning twice a year, while others await the return of some miracle, promised for the past two millennia.

LET’S ENJOY SOLSTICE

WE MUST PROTECT OUR WATERSHEDSEditor:

When Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar and Coun. Tina Lange even-tually take our message to Ottawa to seek a federal panel review for the proposed Ajax mine, I hope they will be firm in their resolve.

In the meantime, here is an online link to a Nov. 28 Globe and Mail fea-ture called Headwaters: The future of our most critical resource:

http://www.theglobeandmail.

com/news/national/under-pressure-water-management-in-a-new-politi-calera/article27512244/.

“Lawyers, scientists and past fed-eral employees interviewed by the Globe and Mail say that a series of changes made under Stephen Harper have reduced enforcement and weak-ened environmental controls, putting our water at risk,” the story states.

“Even some industry representa-tives who lobbied the government for

a streamlined regulatory framework have been surprised at the extent of the changes.”

We must not expose our own Peterson Creek watershed to the risk of contamination.

We do need to be firm in our request to federal Minister of Environment Catherine McKenna of our need for a federal panel review.

2016 might be the year the Kamloops Junior Blazers return to the winner’s circle at the Kamloops International Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament.

The Blazers will be among 10 tier 1 teams at the annual bantam showcase in Kamloops, which begins tomor-row and runs until Jan. 3.

And, for the first time in recent memory, the tier 1 bracket of the tournament is made up almost exclusively of minor hockey asso-ciation teams — with elite academies like the Delta Hockey Academy, the Okanagan Hockey Academy and the Pursuit of Excellence Hockey Academy electing to play in the Pat Quinn Classic in Burnaby from Dec. 27 to Dec. 30.

“I think the nice part this year is it’s a pretty competitive field — I don’t think there’s anybody that people are saying, ‘This team’s the favourite to go and win it,’” said Junior Blazers’ head coach Kyle Allan.

“That’s kind of a nice part this year, where it’s pretty open to any of the 10 teams.”

The tier 1 division of the tournament includes Kamloops, the Balgonie Prairie Storm, the Prince

George Junior Cougars, the Airdrie Xtreme, the Abbotsford Hawks, the Vancouver T-Birds, the Semiahmoo Ravens, the Spruce Grove PAC Saints, the Chilliwack Junior Bruins and Team Hungary.

Kamloops also has a squad in the 20-team tier 2 division of the tournament, the Kamloops Dearborn Ford Blazers.

The Junior Blazers begin round-robin play against Team Hungary tomorrow at 5 p.m., at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre.

The club will also play games against the Ravens, the Bruins and the Saints.

The Dearborn Ford Blazers, meanwhile, start against the tier 2 Langley Eagles tomor-row at 3 p.m., also on Mac Isle. They will also play the Campbell River Tyees and the Spokane Junior Chiefs in round-robin compe-tition.

“I think we’ve got a pretty good shot this year,” Allan said.

His team boasts returning tier 1 play-ers Josh Van Unen and Lachlan Tomm, as well as a stable of players who played tier 2 hock-ey in KIBIHT 2015.

“We’ve got a hard-working team that goes out and executes pretty well. When you do that, good things tend to happen,” he said.

“I think we’ve got a pretty good shot — any year we’ve had a pretty

good shot, I think.”While tournament

play begins tomorrow, pre-tournament action started on Sunday. The Junior Blazers took on Hungary at McArthur Island before the European team took off to Kelowna for another contest there.

Hungary will play one more tune-up game tonight at 5 p.m., on Mac Isle against the Prairie Storm.

The club will head back overseas on Jan. 5.

KIBIHT had aimed to institute a Premier Division to the 2016 tournament — a

grouping that would have included hockey academies, winter clubs and other top-ranked minor hockey programs in order to level the playing field for teams in the tier 1 division.

“There’s a lot of hockey academies and hockey schools coming up,” tournament chair-

man Ted Kowalsky told KTW at the time the Premier Division was announced.

“Sometimes, they put together teams that aren’t competi-tive with some of the standard tier 1 teams — they dominate.

“So what we felt we’d do is we’d put in a Premier Division that

would accommodate teams that felt they were very strong, over-ly competitive.”

But, with most of those teams electing to stay on the Lower Mainland, the idea has been shelved until the 2017 tournament, when KIBIHT will be played from Jan. 4 to Jan. 8.

With the Junior Blazers set to get play underway tomorrow, expectations for the club are high in the Tournament Capital.

Having already won a gold medal in Kelowna and a silver medal in Victoria this season, Kamloops’ tier 1 club is looking to add a title at KIBIHT for the first time since 2011.

“It has been a good year so far — it’s a pret-ty good group of kids that we’ve had to work with so far,” Allan said.

“We’re certainly going in there expect-ing to do well.”

Steven Schafthuizen is a Nelson guy from Kamloops who is play-ing for Grand Forks-Invermere.

It’s a little compli-cated, but it boils down to this: The Valleyview secondary gradu-ate will be the lone Tournament Capital

resident playing on the boys’ side of the draw at the Tim Hortons B.C. Junior Curling Championships, which get underway today at the Kamloops Curling Centre.

The Schafthuizens moved to Kamloops from Nelson, where Steven was born, in 2003.

He went on to curl at two provincial high school cham-pionships with the Valleyview Vikings, but his team disbanded upon graduation.

Steven, studying comput-ing science at Thompson Rivers University, remained in Kamloops and still has a desire to curl, a fact known to his for-mer coach at Valleyview, Brenda Nordin.

She got wind of a Grand Forks-Invermere rink looking to round out its team ahead of provincials.

The match was made.“The team, for the most part,

is meshing well,” Steven said. “The biggest disadvantage is

learning to communicate but, the thing is, that happens natu-rally for some people.”

The Schafthuizens have made about five trips to Grand

Forks, about a five-hour drive, to give Steven time to familiar-ize himself with his new rink — skip Zane Bartlett, lead Colin Anderson, third Sam Gaspar, spare Devon Anderson and coach Dave Bartlett.

Steven is the Kootenay Zone team’s second.

“We just got back yesterday form Grand Forks,” said Jim Schafthuizen, Steven’s father. “It’s part of the challenge of a team separated far and wide.

“We drive five hours so Steven can practise, stay over-night, practise the next day and come home.”

The Bartlett rink will enter the tournament as an underdog.

“Some of these Coast teams are pretty powerful and they’ve been practising daily or every second day but, in curling, if the team is on and playing the game they can play, it’s

anybody’s game,” Jim said.“It’s going to be very exciting

and we’re very proud of the boys for reaching this level.”

The eight-team round-robin stage gets underway at 2 p.m. today and Bartlett will be in action against the Tyler Tardi rink from Langley Curling Club-Royal City Curling. The playoffs start on Saturday and the final is slated for 2 p.m. on Sunday.

For the complete schedule, go online to playdowns.com.

Curling aficionados in Kamloops already know the perennial champion Corryn Brown rink is carrying the city’s hopes on the girls’ side.

Bartlett is the River City’s underdog.

“I think we’ll get at least a few upsets,” Steven said. “It would have been nice to actually have a full Kamloops team, but that wasn’t really an option.”

QUEST FOR THREEThe Brown rink —skip Corryn Brown (pictured), third Erin Pincott, second Samantha Fisher and lead Sydney Fraser — is looking to defend its title and win a third junior provincial curling championship. The Tim Hortons B.C. Junior Curling Championships runs from today to Sunday at Brown’s home rink, the Kamloops Curling Centre. In their first draw, the Brown girls will square off tonight against the Alysha Buchy team from Kimberley. The first rock will be thrown at 7:30 p.m. Allison MacInnes coaches Brown.

Ta’Quan Zimmerman is living his dream of playing professional basketball.

But, the former Thompson Rivers WolfPack all-star hasn’t lost sight of the ulti-mate prize on the horizon.

Playing in the NBA Development League (D-League), the NBA’s official minor league, Zimmerman is in the midst of his sec-ond professional season with the Idaho Stampede, the minor-league affiliate of the Utah Jazz.

And, though he’s earning a living playing basketball, the end goal is still to don a jer-sey in the NBA.

“It’s definitely a dream come true,” Zimmerman said from Los Angeles, where he was practising for a matchup between his Stampede and the LA D-Fenders, the affiliate of the Los Angeles Lakers.

“I still want to be a part of the NBA, I’ve still got one more step to take, but it’s pretty close.

“To just be surrounded by NBA players, NBA staff almost every day is a dream come true.”

Zimmerman left the WolfPack follow-ing the 2013-2014 campaign, his only year in Kamloops and a season in which he led Thompson Rivers to the first Canada West playoff berth in franchise history.

He was named a first-team Canada West all-star, averaging 19.6 points per game — second-best in the conference — 4.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game.

The Pack, meanwhile, finished third in the Pacific Division, boasting a 13-9 record — their best to that point as a Canadian Interuniversity Sport team.

“I followed my heart when I went up to Canada,” Zimmerman said, reflecting on his time in Kamloops.

“I didn’t know anything about it, I don’t know why I went up there, but some-thing told me to go up there. I feel like all things happen for a reason, so I guess

I’m glad I went up there.”Though he had two more years of

eligibility following his debut at TRU, Zimmerman left the club and declared for the 2014 NBA Draft — he passed through both the NBA’s and the D-League’s drafts unselected.

It was just another hiccup in the 24-year-old’s circuitous road to the ranks of profes-

sional basketball — though he was later signed by the Stampede as a free-agent.

Zimmerman is a player who bounced around the college ranks in the United States — the American was born in Waterbury, Conn. — before landing in Kamloops. Injuries and academic issues had threatened to sideline him throughout his young career but, in

the Tournament Capital, he thrived.Now, one step from the NBA, he can joke

about what were no doubt troubling times. “I had a lot of roadblocks and, if I could

recommend [one thing] to anybody, don’t take my road because it’s a tough road to take,” Zimmerman said with a laugh.

“I persevered. I kind of took all the nega-tive things that I heard and that came my way and that stopped me at one point in time and I channelled it into a positive and just built on it and kept fighting.

“Then, one day, I got the phone call and the dream I had of being a professional came true.”

Zimmerman has been coming off the bench thus far in the 2015-2016 D-League season, but through five games has aver-aged 4.6 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists with Idaho.

He said staying consistent will be the key to his finally cracking an NBA roster and he’s focused on continuing to learn from the coaches and professionals around him, many of whom were NBA draftees and have already had a taste of the big leagues.

Zimmerman has fond memories of his time in Kamloops and credits WolfPack head coach Scott Clark with helping him get to where he is now — playing professional basketball nightly, in front of 2,500 fans or more.

“I learned a lot at Thompson Rivers University, believe it or not,” Zimmerman said.

“Just playing in a real structured system was very good for me, with coach Clark being, not strict, but hard — he wanted things right. That was good. Playing hard every possession, multiple efforts, really carried over.

“You wouldn’t be able to tell that I didn’t play at a big-time school like everyone else on my roster did.”

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

December 20, 1955 - December 18, 2015

The family of Ron Fedorenko is sorrowful and saddened at his passing after a short illness.

He is survived by his wife Tracey, sister Vera (Gary), nephew Mark Danielson (Erin), niece Kirstin (David), great-niece Beatrice, sisters-in-law Leslie, Alison (Kevin) brothers-in-law David and Gary, and mother-in-law Erika.

Ron will best be remembered as a kind, gentle man with a large circle of friends who shared his interests: hockey (watching and coaching), sailing, golf with his regular golfing group, travelling by RV, and motorcycling with ‘The Mild Bunch’. He was loyal, maintaining friendships from even his boarding school days in Gravelbourg and Yorkton.

He enjoyed his colleagues from his 30 years at the Credit Union, and he was looking forward to his retirement with Tracey, in the New Year.

There is to be no service at his request, and in lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the SPCA.

GERALD PETER OLSONIt is with much sadness in our hearts that we announce the passing of our Husband, Brother, Father, Grandfather, Gerald Peter Olson. He passed peacefully in the early morning of December 15, 2015.

He was predeceased by his loving wife of 54 years Ruby, twin brother Gordon, son Gordon, grandson Joshua, brother Bill, half-brothers Ted and Lloyd and half-sisters Helen and Kathleen.

Gerald is survived by his loving wife of 9 ½ years, Gladys, his painting buddy and camping partner.

He will be greatly missed by his children Colleen (Mike) Bennett, Linda (Rick) Benton, Brandy (Juan) Olson-Hevia, Gerry Jr. (Elaine) Olson; daughter-in-law Janie, grandchildren Kevin, Cheralyn, Ricky Jr., Dallas, Tami-Lynn, Dustin, Taylor, Hailey, Cody and Brody and many great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Gerald is also remembered by his sister Merle Neuman.

Also left to cherish his memory are his foster daughter Valerie, his stepchildren Dave Longstaff, Ken (Carla) Longstaff, Miles Longstaff and Jane (Ian) Haggarty, his five step-grandchildren Larissa, Sky, Blake, Taylor and Connor.

He will especially be missed by his little dogs Chi Chi and Laila.

He was born to Peter and Elizabeth Olson in Aneroid, Saskatchewan on December 8, 1926. His parents were lucky to be blessed with identical twin boys Gordon and Gerald.

In 1937, the family moved to Kamloops. Gerald served in the Rocky Mountain Rangers for two years, then he joined the Canadian Active Army. He met and married the love of his life, Ruby in 1947. He then started his CN Railroad career as a fireman. He made many life-long friends on the CN. They are a close and tight knit group. He advanced to an engineer and retired in 1981.

After retirement he and mom pursued their love

of travel. They visited many places including Spain, Morocco, Costa Rica, Hawaii, Mexico and England. Mom and dad shared the love of dancing. The waltz was his favorite and he did a smooth one.

Family was everything to our Dad. His children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and many close friends, were the gems of his life. Kids just loved dad. Everyone who met him said “your dad is such a nice guy and such a gentleman”. And he was. There wasn’t anything he didn’t or wouldn’t do for us. We were all so very lucky to have him as our Father. His relationship with his twin brother Gordon was like no other. They shared an unspoken language with each other.

Gladys and Gerald travelled in the motorhome or truck to various places in BC, Alberta and into the United States. They liked to dance and camping was a delight with friends and family.

His talents including painting, carpentry and gardening – from tomatoes to flowers. He enjoyed the beauty, he helped to create. He gifted many of his oil paintings to friends around the world. Anyone who met this man understood how kind, gentle, humble and well respected he was. He never wanted for much and always put others first.

He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Gerald loved nothing more than sitting in the sun visiting and having a beer with his family or friends. Often sitting in his backyard watching his children to great-grandchildren enjoying the pool he built for Ruby and kids over fifty years ago. It has been enjoyed and used over the years.

We would like to extend a thank you to the care givers and nurses who looked after our dad. A special thank you to the staff at the Kamloops Hospice Home. They are like angels on earth.

A Celebration of his life will be held at a later date.

We love you dad, until we meet again.

Rest in Peace.

HILDA (BECKY) MIRIAM SHEDDEN (NEE BECKWITH)Born September 2, 1920 in Edmonton, passed away peacefully on December 18, 2015 in Kelowna, BC.

Becky will be missed by her daughters Helen (Lawrence) King of Calgary, and Barbara (Peter) Smith of Tucson, AZ, and her son James (Susan) Shedden of Kelowna, her sister-in-law Evelyn (Ernie) Shedden of Edmonton, seven grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren; six nieces and nephews and their families.

Becky defined the term Mother, and devoted her life to her family. No matter where she lived she instantly created a home and the family and friends would follow for visits and enjoyment. She reveled in the laughter, humour, and joy of family gatherings and she would add to the candor with her wry yet hilarious wit and perspectives on life.

Predeceased by her husband Donald, she supported him in his careers around Western Canada - Calgary, Bowden, Medicine Hat, Calgary (again!), Kamloops, and Sorrento until finally refining the last extension of her family to include the caring, loving, and supportive nurses, aides, and staff at 3 Links Manor in Kelowna.

A fiercely loyal Matriarch, she glowed and brightened in the company of any of her clan. Her common sense and “30’s child” frugality created troves of ‘treasure’ and an education in cooking, baking, values, and hard work for her children. Her devotion to family and country and Queen saw her enlist in the Army in 1940 to do ’her part’.

She loved joining Choirs and sang like a bird, and she loved gatherings of friends either at the Lake or in her home (or theirs!) to celebrate the victories (and losses) of life or for any other viable excuse. She was a quiet classic and gave her family the greatest gift by simply leading by example.

Becky was predeceased by her Father Charles, her Mother May, her brother Alan (Marjorie) Beckwith and her sisters Dorothy Beckwith and Helen Beckwith.

On December 18th, Becky’s heart still strong, her breath was slowly taken away…. And she quietly left us to continue her legacy of kindness, fairness, and diligence toward creating a better world. She will be missed but never forgotten, and stories of her life will bring smiles and joy for decades.

The family is planning a Celebration of her Life in the New Year.

Obituaries & In Memoriam

Nan Hill passed away December 20, just a few months from her 94th birthday. Nan was predeceased by Tom Hill, her loving husband, her mother Lena Shufflebotham, and sisters Irene Kabush and Shirley Elliot. Left to remember her with loving affection are her daughter Cheryl Gillis, (Clint Gillis), son Mike Hill, (Nancy Hill), as well as grandchildren Leigh Hill, Cassandra Gillis-deVries (Greg deVries), Shaun Hill, Jordan Gillis, and great-grandson Noah deVries. Nan was the oldest of seven children and is also survived by her sister

Betty Brooks, and brothers Bill Shufflebotham, Gordon Shufflebotham and David Shufflebotham. She is also fondly remembered by her numerous nieces and nephews (who cherished their adventurous time with Auntie Nan and Uncle Tom), as well as honorary Hill family members Verne & Dorothy Morice, and close friends Izzy McQueen and Minnie Hofstede.

Nan was born in Humboldt, Saskatchewan and then spent her younger years in Lloydminster, which she loved dearly. While she had a memorable youth, as for most people, her family endured the hardships of those times. That experience helped shape a resilient, hard working, yet loving woman, who was extremely committed to family values. She moved to Chilliwack in 1940 where she lived until she married Tom in 1946. The newlyweds travelled to the Yukon and lived there for a year and a half until Michael was born. They then returned to live in many communities in BC, including Quesnel, where Cheryl was born in 1949. Eventually they settled down in Kamloops in 1952 where Nan lived until 2013.

Nan dearly loved Kamloops and was actively involved in her community; she was a member of the Lions Club (s) for over 50 years. She had the good fortune of having a vast array of friends (too many to mention) in Kamloops. At home she was renowned as a fabulous cook and entertainer. She enjoyed working at home with crafts and in her lovely garden. She loved spending time in the outdoors with

Tom, her family and friends, and was an accomplished fly fisher. She would be known today as a “teckie”, entertaining friends and family with 9mm home movies she would shoot herself, splice the film and then run the projector. Her passion for genealogy made her the guardian of the history of the Shufflebotham and Hill families, with many hours researching as far back as she could get (in the days before the internet!)

Following Tom’s passing in 1995, Nan moved into an apartment at 960 Nicolani Drive on the North Shore. There she gained many new friends and acquaintances.

In mid-2013, following the onset of Dementia/Alzheimers (we were never sure completely), Nan made the move to the New Vista Care Home in Burnaby where she lived until her death. While it was difficult for her to move from her friends and memories in Kamloops, it was important to be nearer to family, who could see her regularly. At New Vista the staff came to appreciate her positive attitude and character, and they were saddened greatly by her passing.

Nan’s greatest passion was her family. She loved her time with her children, grandchildren and with her large extended family, with whom she wanted to spend as much time as possible.

Those who knew her will remember her smile, her warmth and her tender hugs. She will be missed by all.

Nan’s family would like to thank her friends, her extended family and the New Vista Care Home Staff and its community for their caring and affection over the years.

At this time no decisions have been made with regard to a remembrance of Nan’s life. When determined, we will publish this information at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made in her name to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC, or the charity of your choice.

ELEANOR (NAN) MARION HILL AILEEN McGINLEY May 14, 1929 – December 20, 2015

Mom was the youngest child of Charles and Minnie Holloway. She grew up in the country in Peers, Alberta with her parents and brothers John, Charlie and Bill and sister Mary.

Meeting on a blind date in 1948, Mom and Dad (Kevin McGinley) were married 4 years later and were together for 58 years. They lived in Edmonton for 20 years making lifelong friendships and raising the five of us: Maureen, Moira, Mary, Pat and Monica. They lived for 31 years in Kamloops where mom spent countless hours in her amazing garden.

Mom and Dad belonged to the Kamloops Old Time Fiddlers and spent many a winter Saturday night dancing. Family Christmases in the ‘Loops were always a bit crazy especially with the addition of all the grandchildren: Ryan, Emily, Kevin, Matt, Adam, Evan, Mark, Sally and Ryann.

Mom loved to play crib and will be remembered for her mischievous laugh when she had a good hand. Moving to Nanaimo in 2007, Mom cared for Dad as his health deteriorated and he passed away in January 2011. She then moved to Vancouver to be closer to family. With the addition of three great-grandchildren: Keira, Lincoln and Lyla, Mom created quite the legacy. Family was everything to her. Her heart overflowed with love for all of us and even though she is no longer here with us we feel her love all around us.

Words cannot express how grateful we are that Mom was able to spend her final days in the loving care of the staff and volunteers of the Vancouver Hospice Society and that we were all able to be with her when she passed away.

We love you mom.

Her Journey’s Just Begun

Don’t think of her as gone away,Her journey’s just begun.Life holds so many facets,This earth is only one.

Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears,

In a place of warmth and comfort,Where there are no days and years.Think how she must be wishing,

That we could know today,How nothing but our sadness,

Can really pass away.And think of her as living,

In the hearts of those she touched,For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.

E. Brenneman


LOCAL NEWS

Richard Payne, former owner of Dorian Greek House Restaurant in down-town Kamloops, remains in hospital in a medically induced coma following an accident in November.

Payne’s daughter said he is facing at least a year’s worth of recovery and reha-bilitation.

Brandy Hunt said her 57-year-old dad had a heart attack on the evening of Nov. 1 as he was driving home from work.

His PT Cruiser was headed east on the Trans-Canada Highway and, just as he drove under the Yellowhead Highway over-pass, the attack came and his car hit the concrete abutment in the middle of the highway.

From there, it flipped, landing on the driver’s side and leaving Payne with many broken bones, including his femur, tibia, fibula, pelvis, two vertebrae — “and anywhere where the

seatbelt was,” Hunt said.Both front and back ribs

were broken and his lungs were punctured.

Payne’s spinal cord was not damaged by the acci-dent.

After a lengthy stay in

the intensive-care unit at Royal Inland Hospital, Payne was moved to a ward earlier this month,

but stopped breathing and was taken back to the ICU and put into the coma as doctors continue trying to

determine what’s going on inside his body.

Because of all the broken bones, Payne has been kept immobile, leading to pneu-monia and blood clots.

He also has a tracheoto-my to help him breathe.

Since the accident, Hunt said, her parents have sold the restaurant back to its former owners, Jim and Diane Dokolas.

“It was too much for my mother to handle,” Hunt said. “She’s been pretty much always by his side in the hospital since the acci-dent.”

Payne and his wife Laura, longtime customers of the restaurant, bought it in 2014.

The restaurant was her father’s life, Hunt said, its staff like his family.

“He’s going to miss the people there. He loved his work.”

Hunt praised RIH staff caring for her father.

“This is my first experi-ence with someone in a bad accident and they work so hard there,” she said.

Springy Feel: Latex pillows sleep cool, are anti-microbial and mildew proof ... a top choice for allergy sufferers! Latex pillows react instantly to body movements and maintain consistent support. Best suited for Side Sleepers, but still Back Sleeper friendly.

Cushy & Cool Feel: All the benefits of Memory Foam, with a soothing layer of cooling gel. This pillow helps to regulate the body temperature of those who find themselves sleeping hot. Like a regular Memory Foam pillow, this is best suited for Back Sleepers.

Always approach scotch cautiously, Tetreau said.

“You don’t want to dive right in.”

First lesson: After pouring, cup the glass in your hands to warm it. Don’t taste, but just breathe in the smells coming from the scotch.

Each of the nine sampled had a differ-ent nose, as Tetreau described it, the result of many parts of the distilling process, from the grains used to the types of oak barrels in which it was aged.

They must be oak barrels, Tetreau said.

In Scotland, two types of the wood are used — American, which brings a vanilla and spicy taste and European, which brings in a woody, peaty taste.

Also leaving their mark are the alcohols that had been in the

barrels before, usually either sherry or bour-bon. Tetreau suggested rookie scotch drinkers avoid those aged in bourbon barrels. That information can be found on most of the bottles.

The home of the scotch also matters; in Scotland’s low-land area, it tends to be lighter while in Speyside in the north-ern part of the country, there’s often a fruity or smoky tone. Islay, an island just west of Glasgow, is peaty and that reality is imparted at the distilleries there.

The lesson contin-ued — and the water was introduced.

One or two drops of water help break apart the amino acids, Tetreau said, letting more of the smell and taste escape.

The proof was in the tasting. Not being a scotch drinker — and

having, as colleague Andrea Klassen put it, choked down the first sample, a 12-year-old Glenfiddich — we added a couple of drops to the Macallan Amber.

Pre-water, it was still a bit harsh but, with those few drops, Andrea said she found the palate more nuanced. Throughout the tastings, Andrea proved to have a much better sense of smell and taste than I have.

Water doesn’t help all scotches, Tetreau said; he recommends one pour a bit in two glasses, add a touch of water to one and decide which is better.

Tetreau came to love scotch later in life. As a university student, he tried some at a bar once, wasn’t impressed and didn’t touch it again until the pub opened and a salesman representing

scotch distilleries came in to provide a sam-pling of his wares.

“Oh, this is what I’ve been missing,” Tetreau said of his first thought.

He’s been passion-ate about it since, having 60 single-malt

scotches in his home, many of them not available in B.C. liquor stores.

The next sam-pling was a 10-year-old Glenmorangie Original, one that brought a sense of fruits — although my

assertion of a lemon taste was greeted by both Mark and Andrea with surprise — and vanilla.

We moved from it to a 15-year-old Dalwhinnie and, as Tetreau said, the tastes were starting to get

more complex, as was the smokiness.

I sensed a light melon tone to it — and was starting to think scotch isn’t all that bad.

SCOTCH 101

What a difference two drops of water can make — they can tame the stray animal known as scotch.

The canine reference came from avid scotch enthusiast and Noble Pig co-owner Mark Tetreau, deliv-

ered as he began what he calls Scotch Tasting 101.

I could see myself, as Tetreau said he does often, pouring a small amount and sipping on it for several hours while reading a book or watching a movie.

Next pour was a 12-year-old Balvenie Doublewood, slightly drier, but with tones of toffee and cinnamon — and a sense I had just inhaled smoke from an applewood-fuelled campfire.

The next several samples just intensified the trip into a smoky world with a 12-year-old Highland Park (a scotch Tetreau said he loved at first sip and which encouraged him to try others like it), a one-year-old Ardbeg, an Alberta Dark Horse, a Laphroaig and, finally, an Octomore.

The Alberta whisky was unlike any of the others in both colour and flavours, not as smoky but not as strong as the Glenfiddich.

Tetreau explained, as we continued to compare the final samples, a key characteristic is the level of phenols, chemicals absorbed by the malted barley as it dries.

The more phenol parts per million (PPM), the peatier the taste.

Most popular scotches have PPMs in the 20s to the 50s — the Octomore we sampled had a PPM of 167.

Along with the alcohol, we sampled some of the Noble Pig’s cheeses, as well as fruitcake and smoked salmon Tetreau and his wife made.

The cheddar cheese comes from Blackwell Dairy and the smoked and brie cheeses are from Vancouver suppliers.

The only thing lacking during the lesson was the reason it was put together to begin with — the Crown Royal Northern Harvest that recently bumped Scotland’s scotches as it was named world whisky of the year.

The local liquor stores didn’t have it in stock at the time we visited Tetreau, but he knew when it was coming in and was determined to buy a bottle and make his own ruling on its worthiness to have the title in the new edition of Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible, the go-to book on all things scotch.

From B1

CANADIAN WHISKY TOPS WORLDKTW’s Dale Bass got a lesson in scotch: after pouring, cup the glass in your hands to warm it and don’t taste, but just breathe in the smells.

The crows in Toby Jackson’s neigh-bourhood aren’t

getting quite as many feedings as they used to, but this time it’s not Kamloops bylaw ser-vices to blame.

The Valleyview resident made local and national headlines in January, when he was fined $300 after a neighbour claimed Jackson’s routine feedings were attract-ing the birds to his property and creating a nuisance. Jackson had been feeding the crows for several years by that point as part of an experiment to see if the notoriously-intelligent birds could be trained to recognize him.

It worked — on a walk with KTW, Jackson was trailed by crows looking for a meal.

While he’d intended to fight the fine in court, the city even-tually recanted after Jackson promised not to scatter food near his neighbour’s home.

By the time the decision was made, more than 17,000 people had signed an online petition criti-cizing the city for its actions.

These days, Jackson said he’s still going on walks in Valleyview and still taking along food for his feathered friends.

But, thanks to some other changes, he’s no longer drawing

the crowds of cawing admirers.

“The other day I went for a walk and I didn’t see any crows,” he said.

Jackson said his dog, London, passed away earlier this year.

While there’s a new dog in the household, a Chihuahua cross rescued from Southern California, it isn’t up to the walk schedule the crows are used to.

“He’s a small dog and he’s used to hot weather, so we’ve been going out for walks in the middle of the afternoon when it’s as warm as it can be,” Jackson said.

“We still see the crows, but not as many, and we don’t do the walk twice a day like we used to.”

Jackson said he’s happy to have his life back to normal again after a brief time in the spotlight.

“Thankfully, it all settled down,” he said.

Q) I have been hearing more about short term stay suites in retirement communities. Can you explain how these work?

A) Many retirement communities offer short term stays. It is important not to confuse these stays with Respite or Convalescence Stays. Nor should they be confused with two or three day complimentary stays.

A respite or convalescence stay is for individuals looking for post-illness or hospital discharge recuperation. These stays include 24 hour nursing care and require an assessment by the on-site nursing staff.

Complimentary stays are for those who have done their research and know that retirement community living is the lifestyle for them. These stays help determine if a particular community is right for you.

Short term stays are for those considering a move out of their current home but are not sure of the next step. These stays let you experience all that retirement community living has to offer. Suites are completely furnished and include all household accessories. They are designed and ready for you to move in. Just bring your personal items and enjoy all that retirement community living has to offer.

During your stay we encourage you to speak with residents, family members and staff.

HOROSCOPES DECEMBER 29 - JANUARY 4, 2015ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, you are familiar with the expression, “Your eyes are bigger than your stomach.” This week you have bitten off a project that is just too much to chew. Enlist some help.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, you are on a roll, and now it is only a matter of maintaining momentum for a few more days. Don’t let anyone slow you down this week.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 2Gemini, you may not know where your path is taking you, but you are fully aware that an adventure is in store. Take some time to prepare for the unknown that lies ahead.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Learning from your mistakes can help you to grow, Cancer. Accept a challenge presented to you this week, even if it scares you. You may find it’s not so challenging after all.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, many opportunities are within reach, but you are just not sure which way to go. Seek advice from Pisces when you get a spare moment.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, no one will know what you’re like deep inside unless you share a few secrets. You don’t have to give everything away, but let some information slip out.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Now is not a time to drag your feet, Scorpio. You have a full slate of tasks to tackle, and it seems like the hours will slip away quickly. Recharge and refocus.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, you never shy away from a challenge, but you also know when to pick your battles. If something arises this week that seems a waste of time, pass it by.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, when a past conflict pops up this week, push it aside. It is better to focus on the positive things that are in store for you rather than problems from the past.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t accomplish something, Aquarius. As you have proven time and again, you simply need to set a goal in your sights to get things done.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, when you love someone, it can be difficult to step aside and let that person make his or her own mistakes. Be patient.
