New beer-fl avoured jelly beans ‘clean, crisp, mildly bready’

THE JELLY BELLY CANDY COMPANY said people have been requesting beer-fl avoured jelly

beans for decades. Their new Hefeweizen-inspired treat took three years to develop.

If you’ve ever had a craving for candy with a

more grown-up punch, you’re in luck — Jel-

ly Belly, the California company known for

their creative confections, has just introduced

beer-fl avoured jelly beans.

The Hefeweizen-inspired ale fl avour, which

will be in stores worldwide early this year,

took three years to perfect, according to a

company release.

The fl avour profi le is described as “clean

with notes of wheat and a touch of sweet-

ness,” and the aroma is “mildly bready.”

Jelly Belly’s new draft beer-fl avoured jelly

beans have “notes of wheat and a touch of

sweetness,” the company said.

Beer connoisseurs, who have reportedly

been requesting the fl avour for decades, will

appreciate “the effervescent and crisp fl avor

... packed in a golden jelly bean with an iri-

descent fi nish,” the release reads.

“Anyone who enjoys a good, cold beer will

enjoy Draft Beer Jelly Belly beans for the

simple fact that it tastes just as you’d imag-

ine,” said Rob Swaigen, vice-president of

marketing for Jelly Belly.

But if you were hoping to get tipsy, you’re

better off having a couple of pints — the jelly

beans are alcohol-free.

Jelly Belly is also offering up recipe ideas

for “beer cocktail” jelly bean fl avours. For a

beer sangria, pop two draft beer beans and one

peach bean into your mouth, then chew. For

a Michelada, combine two draft beer beans,

one lemon lime bean and one Tabasco bean.

The 145-year-old candy company is known

for its wacky and inventive — albeit not al-

ways delicious — fl avours, including but-

tered popcorn, dirt, rotten egg and vomit.

JELLY BELLY INTRODUCES HEFEWEIZEN-INSPIRED ALE FLAVOUR

Wendy’s DreamLift Day is Wednesday

The annual fundraiser to send deserving kids

to Disneyland for a day will be held on Wed.

Jan. 29 at Wendy’s restaurants throughout the

Southern Interior, including all Kamloops lo-

cations.

The 20th year of the event will, as always,

raise funds for the Sunshine Foundation of

Canada to fl y children and teens between the

ages of three and 18 and who are challenged

by severe physical disabilities and/or life-

threatening illnesses to Disneyland for one

day in December.

In 2013, 52 children went to Disneyland as

part of the program.

All net proceeds from the day’s sales, as

well as staff, management and owners’ wag-

es, are used for the charitable event. To date,

DreamLift Day has raised $1.22 million. Last

year, Wendy’s DreamLift Day raised about

$115,000.

Local celebrities and dignitaries will be on

hand, along with members from the RCMP

and other service/sports organizations.

Wednesday is DreamLift Day at Wendy’s

DOES KAMLOOPS NEED A TRANSITION?

Apparently, the answer is yes! Organizers of an upcoming community

workshop on the Transition Town movement have been pleasantly sur-

prised by the strong response.

“We weren’t sure if this concept is something that would fl y in Ka-

mloops, but we’ve got most of our seats fi lled a week ahead of time,

which is really encouraging,” said Gisela Ruckert, chair of Kamloops

350.

On Jan. 25 starting at 11 a.m. at the Kamloops Art Gallery, 465 Victoria

St., the group will be showing the Transition 2.0 movie and facilitating

a discussion on what Kamloops could look like in 20 years. Since lunch

will be provided, attendees are asked to RSVP via www.eventbrite.ca

(Transition Kamloops).

“We’re especially excited that two members of the Transition Vernon

group are coming up to share their experiences,” said Ruckert. “The

interesting thing about this concept is that it can look completely differ-

ent in every community, but the common thread that unites them all is

a desire to build a healthier and more resilient community, where local

economies are valued and nurtured; where lower energy is seen as a

benefi t; and where enterprise, creativity and the building of resilience

become cornerstones of a new economy.”

“OK, so it sounds a bit lofty,” related fellow organizer, Marcia Dick.

“But the point is to recognize that we can infl uence the path our commu-

nity chooses to take. If we want to adopt a lower carbon lifestyle, let’s

talk about ways to make that happen, bit by bit. Let’s talk about how we

can develop a stronger local economy. Other communities have found

success through the Transition Town model – why not Kamloops?”

For information, visit the Kamloops 350 Facebook page, or contact Eli

Pivnick at 250-299-3007 or Gisela Ruckert at 250-374-1472. RSVP to

reserve your spot at www.eventbrite.ca (Transition Kamloops).

My little “angel” is turning four

years old. With the turn of her

head, a smile from ear to ear, and

the batting of her eyelashes, Au-

brielle can melt anyone’s heart.

She is adorable and loving and

very dramatic... um, I mean pas-

sionate!

From the time Aubrielle was a

baby and her personality start-

ed to shine, you could tell this

little princess was going to be

“passionate.” With everything

she does, she expresses herself

signifi cantly – from the love of

her big brother, the attention to

a favourite activity – like ballet

or a puzzle, or the cuddles for

her daddy to the eardrum pierc-

ing screams for her brother (if

he looks at her the wrong way),

the refusal to sit on the naughty

stair for a time-out, or the tem-

per tantrums that exceed a scale

that I have ever had to deal with

before. Aubrielle is growing into

her own person and is becoming

a force to be reckoned with.

This past year, Aubrielle has

grown – in height and personality.

She is well-behaved and studious

at preschool, daycare, and ballet –

loving to learn new things. I am

proud to watch how she immedi-

ately falls in line at these classes

to do whatever the teacher/in-

structor requests. (Now, to get her

to do this at home!) But, this at-

tentiveness she has is also brought

to other activities – where she will

not let up on something she has

her mind set to – if you ask her

to stop.

Aubrielle wants what she wants –

and you better not get in her way.

(Believe me when I say we are

trying to nip this in the bud!) The

other day, we went out to dinner.

The kids were very well behaved

and Aubrielle ate all her dinner,

drank all her juice and continued

to polish off the special dessert.

When it was time to leave, she

was walking to the car and had

her mind set on pushing the but-

ton to automatically open the

restaurant doors. Zachary did

this instead. Aubrielle was not

happy. Words were said (ahem,

screams), and she even attempted

to kick Zachary as we stood on

the sidewalk. When strangers

approached to say how adorable

she was, Aubrielle (still in her

tantrum state) took this oppor-

tunity to walk up to Zachary and

kick him in the shin. Is she still

adorable, ladies?

Yes, she is, and I would not

change her for the world! (Al-

though, if she went to bed the

fi rst time we asked, that would be

nice!) We love our beautiful, little

angel and are looking forward to

the next year of new adventures

with Aubrielle. Happy Birthday!

HoroscopesJanuary 27 - February 2, 2014You’ll want to create opportunities that result in pleasurable activi-ties as well as involving you with people you fi nd enjoyable. Any-thing out of the ordinary will be particularly appealing though prob-ably short lived. A review of your obligations that have real purpose for stability is necessary so you start to grow the right things.

Something you deeply believe in can infl uence your future con-siderably. If you’re not sure, now is the time to question these things – you may learn a lot about yourself. A good place to start is any commitments that aggravate you or seem unfair. Mental at-titude towards matters can be the greatest cause of unsettledness.

Improved fi nances or increased personal earning capacity is some-thing you should have experienced since late June. How someone else impacts this or how your spending affects them, is something that may now reach a turning point where a practical balance needs to be established. Control will come into this in some way.

Seriously consider anything that seems to be repeating itself when it comes to your individuality, what you’re doing with your life & how somebody else may infl uence or affect that. This is a major turning point that can completely unfold by late-April. Making the right choices regarding others can bring substantial results.

Be cautious of new directions that develop suddenly involving ei-ther somebody you already know or anybody new. They may not be as confi dent as they seem but are relying on you more than you re-alise. There’s a lot going on behind the scenes. You can gather infor-mation & ideas but need to wait a while yet before moving ahead.

You can be lucky though you won’t believe it’s possible as strongly as others. Luck’s tied into how thoroughly something has been or-ganised or looked into. Anything you’ve been mulling over lately can now result in a eureka moment. When you fi nd a way to mould this into your priorities, your moment of luck will have arrived.

There’s something about this time that’s like no other, no matter your age. You don’t choose to go into battle quickly but have a preparedness to do just that, if necessary. You need to have con-trol of your circumstances, though this may take a bit of work to late-April. You must learn to limit your obligations or generosity.

You can begin to set down some new foundations based on what you’ve been considering since mid- Jan. There’s something out of the ordinary or inventive about this that can prove to be logi-cal & effi cient. Keeping things under control in your own mind won’t only lead to balanced outcomes but future growth.

You’re at a major turning point regarding your fi nances providing or leading to greater security than you have so far experienced in life. Much of this can also be connected to you having developed more control of your spending. Any new work directions that de-velop this year can have greater impact than ever before as well.

You can benefi t greatly from the generosity of somebody else – this may also include knowledge they’re happy to share with you. It can enable you to sort out the things of true value to your life that can result in a sense of peace that generates a knowingness that much power is at your disposal. It’s just a matter of utilising it.

The New Moon occurs in your own sign, making links that should produce thoughts towards surprises life has to offer & new opportunities that can arise as a result. Whatever you’ve been considering since mid-Jan. will move onto another stage. You’ll have a clearer perspective from mid-Feb. – mid-March.

You can sense new beginnings more than you can see them. Mer-cury, the planet of thought & communication moves into your sign for its fi rst stage of two periods. This one will last ‘til Feb. 13. Ex-pect to review anything you think are fi nal decisions in this time. Enjoying life will be important. Ensuring this is a slow process.

Kamloops RCMP are in the

early stages of a complex in-

vestigation involving a number

of youth throughout the com-

munity. RCMP were contacted

by SD# 73 staff after learning

about the alleged exchange of

inappropriate material.

“At this point it’s too early

to categorize the nature of this

investigation or to comment on

any specifi c details,” said Cpl.

Cheryl Bush. “We are dealing

with people under the age of 18,

and will restrict our comments

accordingly, as per legislation.”

Offi cers are working closely

with the school district on this

matter and to ensure the safety

of students, which is a priority.

“When we became aware of the

information, we acted swiftly

and have numerous investiga-

tive and support resources allo-

cated to this fi le,” Bush related.

She said the message to par-

ents remains the same: be en-

gaged with your children’s on-

line and social media activities.

This can lead to tough or un-

comfortable conversations, but

these conversations are critical.

Cybertip.ca is a website that

offers information to teens and

parents about protecting your-

self online.

The Knights came out strong,

scoring their fi rst goal 3:34 into

the fi rst period. Halfway through

the period, Daniel Buchanan

vindicated himself after taking a

boarding penalty just 20 seconds

into the game, tying the game

for the Storm. But, the Knights

scored two goals in 51 seconds

with fi ve minutes remaining in

the period to make it 3-1 North

Okanagan after 20 minutes.

The Knights made it 4-1 10:48

into the middle frame, chasing

starting goalie Liam McLeod

from the net to be replaced by

backup goaltender Wade Moyls.

Spencer Schoech gave the Storm

a bit of hope, scoring with 7:30

remaining in the period to make

it 4-2 Knights after 40.

The Knights opened the third

period by scoring a pair of goals

within 88 seconds, one on the

power play and one shorthanded,

just 1:24 into the third to take

a four-goal lead. Luke Gordon

scored a power play goal halfway

through the third to make it a 6-3

Knights win over the Storm.

Kamloops hosted Revelstoke

Sat. Jan. 18, when the results

were more to the Storm’s liking,

as they defeated the Grizzlies 5-1

and more than doubled them up

on the shot clock, outshooting

Revelstoke 62-26 on the game.

Buchanan opened the scoring

for the Storm with a power play

goal 13:06 into the game to give

the Storm a 1-0 lead after the fi rst

period. Josh Rasmussen scored

the only goal of the middle frame

with 3:11 remaining on the clock

to give the Storm a 2-0 lead after

40 minutes. Despite the Storm

only being able to fi nd the back

of the net once in the period,

they didn’t lack in chances as

they peppered the Grizzlies’ net-

minder with 22 shots.

Gordon gave the Storm a 3-0

lead 7:14 into the third period,

then Bobby Kashuba made it 4-0

Storm with a power play goal

halfway through the period. The

Grizzlies fi nally got on the score-

board 2:03 later to make it 4-1

Storm. Marc Dumont potted an

insurance goal on the power play

with 58 seconds remaining in the

game to give the Storm the 5-1

win.

The Storm hosted the Ghostrid-

ers in an early evening game Sun.

Jan. 19, and came away with a

3-1 win, outshooting the visiting

team from Fernie 46-18.

Despite outshooting the

Ghostriders 21-7 in the fi rst pe-

riod, Brock Balson was fi nally

able to put the Storm on the

scoreboard with 30 seconds left

on the period clock to make it 1-0

after 20 minutes. Fernie tied the

game 37 seconds into the mid-

dle frame. Kashuba scored the

Storm’s winning goal halfway

through the period, and Gordon

potted the insurance marker with

1:20 left in the second period to

make it 3-1 after 40; and that’s

the way the game would end and

neither time was able to score in

the third period.

The Vancouver Giants out-

worked the Kamloops Blazers last

Friday night and won 6-2 over the

Blazers. Giants head coach Don

Hay recorded his 600th career

WHL win, which is good for third

all-time in WHL history.

The Blazers and Giants were

playing an even game to start,

but the Giants started to take over

as the period carried on. The Gi-

ants scored fi rst in this one off a

set faceoff play. Dalton Sward’s

attempted pass hit a Blazers de-

fender stick and snuck underneath

goaltender Bolton Pouliot to give

the Giants a 1-0 lead with just

under nine minutes remaining in

the period. The Giants gained mo-

mentum as the period carried on

and led 1-0 going into the second

period.

The second period was only

worse for the Blazers as the Gi-

ants scored three times and took

a commanding 4-0 lead. Thomas

Foster took a quick hard shot off a

turnover that Pouliot did not see to

make it 2-0 only 57 seconds into

the period. Travis McEvoy cre-

ated a turnover and took a puck to

the net scoring his seventh of the

season. Finally, defenseman Ty-

ler Morrison joined the rush and

scored on a nice set up by Alec

Baer to make it 4-0 going into the

third period.

The Giants continued scoring

early in the fi nal frame. Dalton

Sward got his second goal of

the night beating Pouliot short-

side and Arvin Atwal got a shot

through on the power play to make

it 6-0 for the Giants. 16-year-old

goaltender Cole Kehler took over

from there and stopped all four

shots he faced in the game’s fi nal

12:42. The Blazers got some life

into their game in the last 10 min-

utes and were rewarded with two

goals. Joe Kornelsen put in a puck

from in front of the net on a power

play and Nathan Looysen scored

his fi rst WHL goal on a rebound

off a shot from Ryan Rehill to

make it a 6-2 fi nal.

Final shots on goal were tied

at 31 apiece. The Blazers were

1-for-5 on the power play, while

the Giants fi nished 1-for-3.

The Blazers gave it all they had

in a 3-2 loss to the Seattle Thun-

derbirds at home Saturday night.

The Blazers were not at their best

in the fi rst period and the Thun-

derbirds made them pay. Rob-

erts Lipsbergs put the Thunder-

birds on the scoreboard midway

through the period on the power

play. Shea Theodore had the point

shot on goal and Lipsbergs scored

on the second chance in front of

the goal to make it 1-0. Kevin

Wolf made it 2-0 fi nishing off a

nice pass from Mitch Elliot with

just under fi ve minutes to go. The

fi rst period featured three fi ghts as

Sam Grist, Ryan Rehill and Aus-

tin Douglas all dropped the gloves

in the. The Thunderbirds took a

2-0 lead into the second period.

Joe Kornelsen started off the

second period getting into a fi ght

with a much bigger Jared Hauf.

Kornelsen missed most of the sec-

ond period getting repaired from

the fi ght, but he returned with

some energy. The Blazers got bet-

ter as the period went on and Ko-

rnelsen eventually scored a power

play goal. He jammed home a

puck past goaltender Taran Kozun

to cut the defi cit to 2-1 heading

into the third period.

The Blazers had a strong fi nal pe-

riod outshooting the Thunderbirds

19-9 in the frame. They did what

they could to tie the game up, but

Kozun was solid for the Thunder-

birds. The Thunderbirds eventu-

ally scored with 5:35 to go and

took a 3-1 lead. The Blazers kept

the pressure on and Kornelsen

netted his second goal of the

night parked in front of the net to

make it 3-2 with only 53 seconds

to play. A last gasp effort wasn’t

enough as the Blazers fell short in

a 3-2 loss to the Thunderbirds.

The Blazers outshot the Thun-

derbirds 32-30 in the game. Ko-

zun had the win with 30 saves

and Pouliot took the loss with 27

saves.

The Blazers were 2-for-4 on the

power play, while the Thunder-

birds were 1-for-2.

The Blazers made it count

Wednesday night earning a 7-1

victory over the visiting Leth-

bridge Hurricanes.

The win was head coach Guy

Charron’s 145th with the fran-

chise putting him past Don Hay

for second in franchise history be-

hind Ken Hitchcock’s 291 career

wins.

The Blazers won this game with

a strong fi rst period. Tyson Ness

got the game’s fi rst goal 6:16 into

the period picking off a clearing

attempting and snapping his 11th

goal past goaltender Jarrod Scha-

merhorn for a 1-0 lead. The Blaz-

ers made it 2-0 only 14 seconds

later with Cole Ully fi nishing off

a rebound off a shot from Matt

Bellerive. Two more goals would

come shortly after as Chase Souto

scored his fi rst goal in nearly two

months in his third game back

from injury for his 17th goal of

the season. Matt Revel made it

4-0 as he tipped in a point shot

from Sam Grist on the power play.

The Blazers scored the four goals

in a span of 5:28 in the period.

Schamerhorn was pulled after the

third goal, stopping three of six

shots, in favour of Jonny Hogue.

The Blazers took the 4-0 lead into

the second period.

The pace slowed in the second

period with no goal scoring, but

the physical play picked up and

the period featured three fi ghts.

Austin Douglas, Jesse Shynkaruk

and Collin Shirley all dropped the

gloves in the second period.

The Hurricanes broke the shut-

out 1:09 into the third period on

the power play to make it a 4-1

game. The next shift, only 11 sec-

onds later, Tyson Ness made it

5-1 picking up his own rebound

and potting his second goal of the

game. The Blazers added to the

goal count as Shirley and Souto

rounded out the scoring giving the

Blazers a 7-1 home ice victory.

The Hurricanes fi nished 1-for-3

on the power play, while the Blaz-

ers were 1-for-2 on the night.

Pouliot earned his fi rst win since

November making 30 saves.

The Blazers will host two week-

end home games as the Victoria

Royals are in town Friday night

and the Medicine Hat Tigers are

in town on Saturday.

While smoking rates have steadily declined over the last decades, to-

bacco still kills more people every year than all illegal drugs, suicides,

homicides and car accidents combined.

Jan. 19 to 25 is National Non-Smoking Week, and Interior Health

(IH) wants to remind everyone of the importance of local action to

address the leading cause of preventable death and disease in Canada.

One of the most effective ways communities can reduce the harm

of cigarettes is to limit their use in public areas. Creating smoke-free

environments is a great way to improve the health of your community.

Smoke-free outdoor spaces are very effective in helping children and

youth grow up to be non-smokers.

Smoke-free bylaws are not intended to punish those who are de-

pendent on tobacco, but instead to assist smokers to quit and protect

people from exposure to second-hand smoke.

“There is no safe level of exposure to tobacco smoke,” said Trish

Hill, IH Tobacco Reduction co-ordinator. “By creating smoke-free

outdoor spaces, communities make smoking seem less normal, which

contributes to lowering smoking rates. This is particularly important

for the well-being of children and adolescents because of the message

it conveys, namely that inhaling smoke into your lungs is not normal.”

Communities with smoke-free parks, playgrounds, beaches and trails

tend to have lower smoking rates. In Woodstock, Ont., 38 per cent of

people said the outdoor smoke-free bylaw helped them quit, and 40

per cent said it helped them to stay a non-smoker. The bylaw did not

negatively impact use of facilities, businesses, or attendance at com-

munity events.

Smoke-free parks, beaches and playgrounds also lower the risk of

toxic litter, which may be ingested by children or pets; and reduces

wildfi re in forested areas. In the 2012 B.C. shoreline clean-up, tobacco

related litter outnumbered any other by three times.

“Public support for smoke-free outdoor areas is on the rise,” said

Hill. “It’s not surprising since more than 85 per cent of British Colum-

bians don’t use tobacco. In fact, more than 30 communities in B.C.,

from Vancouver to Kelowna to Sicamous, have enacted restrictions

on smoking in parks and on beaches, joining hundreds more across

North America.”

The Tobacco Reduction Team partners with local governments,

agencies, Aboriginal communities and individuals to promote healthy,

smoke-free environments. This is done through presentations to coun-

cils, advising and commenting on bylaw language, providing ‘lessons

learned’ from other communities and encouraging local governments

to include smoke-free space in their visioning and planning.

To fi nd out about the smoke-free bylaws in your area, check your

community’s website. If you would like to know more about smoke-

free living or want help strengthening your local smoke-free bylaws,

the Interior Health Tobacco Reduction Team is eager to help and can

be reached through www.interiorhealth.ca/AboutUs/ContactUs.
