RED BRIDGE CLOSED FOR A MONTH
If you were planning to drive across the Red Bridge this week, it’s time to find another route. From now and continuing for about a month, the span between the city and the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve will be closed to vehicles as the province performs repairs and maintenance, including resurfacing of the deck. The project’s budget is $500,000. In a press release, the provincial Ministry of Transportation said it wants to have the work completed before the city embarks on its approximately $9-million rehabilitation of Overlanders Bridge, set to begin in 2015. The Red Bridge will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists, but the ministry said there will likely be some daytime delays on the bridge’s sidewalks as well. Cars will be allowed back on the crossing some time in mid-October.
J.WALSH & SONS HEATING & PLUMBING
Kamloops teachers plan to relocate the site of a study session from its original venue at McArthur Island to a location in Aberdeen, across the street from where Premier Christy Clark and members of the B.C. Liberal cabinet will meet tomorrow (Sept. 17) with city business representatives. But, the president of the KamloopsThompson Teachers Association, David Komljenovic, said striking educators are not plotting to shut down the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce luncheon event. Tomorrow’s event is the first meeting of its kind in Kamloops, with most or all of the B.C. Liberal cabinet joining Clark at the Kamloops Coast Hotel and Conference Centre. Cabinet members will be seated at tables with local chamber and industry representatives, who were able to book tables with specific ministers. An official with the premier’s office declined to comment on the event, other than to state in an email message that “cabinet does routinely meet in different parts of the province from time to time.” The luncheon was moved from originally scheduled venue Thompson Rivers University to the Aberdeen hotel. Kamloops Coast owner Ron Mundi donated $15,000 to the party in 2013, the same year Clark appeared at a grand re-opening event at his hotel and conference centre. Kamloops Chamber of Commerce president Aleece Laird said the unprec-

Premier Christy Clark and members of her cabinet will appear at a luncheon in Kamloops tomorrow — and will likely be met by striking teachers if a settlement is not reached in the education labour dispute.
edented opportunity for local business and industry representatives to speak with cabinet ministers recently came available. She said the venue change was at the request of the province and she is not aware of the reason. The event is not a fundraiser and tickets sold by the chamber reflect the cost of lunch as well as the venue, she said. Kamloops-South Thompson MLA and
Transportation Minister Todd Stone said the premier made a commitment during the election to hold cabinet meetings outside of Vancouver and Victoria. Cabinet will meet in the morning, break for the luncheon, and sit again in private in the afternoon. Similar meetings have been held in Prince George and Penticton. Laird said attendees were able to request tables with specific members. The chamber is nearing its goal of selling 300 tickets for the luncheon that will feature a keynote speech from the premier. Komljenovic said teachers are planning to make a statement outside the event. “It’s a rally,” he said. “We’re exercising our democratic right to go out and give the premier our message that teachers want a collective agreement.” Government and union negotiators remained in bargaining late yesterday. Komljenovic said he hopes the study session will instead become a ratification meeting and vote. If it goes ahead, the rally is not designed to stop the event, he added. “We’re not looking at being obstructionist. We’re looking at being respectful. We’ll go there with our rally signs.” Laird is also hopeful teachers can get out their message and the chamber can host the cabinet without a hitch. “I’ve had conversations with quite a few teachers I’m friends with and play soccer with,” Laird said. “It’s a great opportunity for teachers to get their message out, but, I’m hoping things [at the luncheon] will be great and positive. I’m an optimist.”

Retirement for finance director ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
When the city’s finance director delivers the 2015 preliminary budget to Kamloops council in early December, it will be the end of an era. Longtime director of finance Sally Edwards is poised to retire at the end of the year — and the preliminary budget will be her last for Kamloops. A job posting for Edwards’ position has been posted and closes on Sept. 25. Edwards joined the city 16 years ago, when she was recruited from a private-sector job in Quesnel. “It’s exciting and scary, right?” Edwards said of her impending retirement. “When your whole life’s been working, it’s a bit different to think about what’s next.” In addition to keeping track of the city’s funds, Edwards said she feels one of the most important roles of the finance director is making sure citizens of Kamloops can understand what is being done with their tax dollars. “As accountants, we tend to be very technical, no different
than lots of other professionals, and it’s important when we discuss things with the public and with council, we put it in their terms,” she said. “I think that’s an important thing to do and I’ve tried to do that, to make sure people get an understanding of what the city financials are all about.” Edwards said she’s proud of the changes she has made to the city’s budget process and financial reporting over the years, as well as technological upgrades she made when she also served as head of the city’s IT department. “We brought the city into the 21st century with SALLY respect to systems EDWARDS and programs in the finance department,” Edwards said. “When I came here, it was green screen terminals.” Mayor Peter Milobar said Edwards’ willingness to speak her mind to council will be missed. He praised the work that has won the city a string of awards for financial reporting, most recently the 2014 Canadian
Award for Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada. “She’s brought that openness to people,” Milobar said. “She’s always saying that facts are friendly. And, whatever the fact may be, even if it makes you a little uncomfortable, she has always been of the mind that it needs to be out there and discussed. That will be missed.” Edwards is the last of a string of top managers at the city who were slated for retirement in the past few years, following former corporate affairs director Len Hrycan and former CAO Randy Diehl. Once Edwards’ replacement is hired, only two directors at city hall will have held their current post for more than three years — parks, recreation and culture director Byron McCorkell and Lori Rilkoff in human resources. During the same period, the city also hired new heads for the RCMP and fire department. Edwards said she hasn’t decided what the future will hold, post-retirement, but expects it will involve golf and spending more time with her family.

Assaults spur call for more guards TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
Nine assaults by inmates on corrections officers so far this year at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre have the B.C. NDP’s justice critic calling for increased staffing at provincial jails. “I think it’s something the government has to pay really close attention to,” Mike Farnworth told KTW. “You’ve got one officer looking after more and more inmates.” Until 2002, the province’s jails had inmate-to-corrections officer ratios capped at 20:1. Right now, there is one officer supervising each 36-inmate living unit at KRCC. KRCC has nine living units, which are essentially large, three-
walled common areas containing plastic tables and chairs. Along another wall, there is a payphone and a small counter next to a door that leads to a games and TV room. The longest wall is covered in two storeys of nondescript beige steel doors, each with a thin vertical window of reinforced glass looking into the common area. At North Fraser Pre-trial Centre in Port Coquitlam, the current inmate-to-guard ratio is 60:1, according to Dean Purdy, spokesman for the corrections-officer union. He said those ratios are creating tense — and sometimes violent — environments behind bars. “It’s the atmosphere and how tense the environment and the mood is inside the jails,” Purdy said.
“The violence at the nine correctional centres in B.C. — and specifically KRCC — is not going away.” Purdy said the assaults range from minor to severe. “There are constant, ongoing altercations,” he said. “It varies widely. Anything from having feces or urine thrown on them to being punched and kicked.” Purdy said there are only two other provinces in which the living-unit model of jail layout is in use. In Alberta and in Ontario, he said, two officers supervise a 40-inmate living unit. At KRCC, there is one guard per 40-inmate living unit. Farnworth said the situation in provincial jails is probably costing the government as much as improved staffing would.
“It causes increased workload and leads to greater issues around assaults,” he said, noting injuries for corrections officers are expensive for the province. “The cost that you incur in other areas, all of those things you pay, they make up for it.” Farnworth said it’s in the government’s best interest to increase staffing levels at provincial jails. “I think what you do is you sit down with the union and ask them what the key issues are,” he said, noting staffing and mental-health issues among prisoners as two large concerns. “If you had the appropriate mental-health services, that’s another way of dealing with a lot of these people,” Farnworth said. “The bottom line is to say this is a problem and we have to deal with it.”

STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A violent man who has twice assaulted girlfriends and threatened police and corrections officials should not be declared a dangerous offender and given an indeterminate jail sentence, a B.C. Supreme Court justice has ruled. Instead, Justice Kathleen Ker on Friday, Sept. 12, gave Shane Jeurissen another 3.5 years in jail, along with a 10-year supervision order in the community, labelling him a longterm offender — one step below the ultimate designation that typically means life in jail. The official jail sentence is seven years for assault with a weapon, obstruction of justice and breaching court orders. Jeurissen has been in custody since May 2012, when he was arrested in Barriere for punching his girlfriend
in the face, choking her and holding a knife to her throat. He was given credit at time-and-a-half for the period he has already been in jail awaiting trial. The Crown argued Jeurissen should be labelled a dangerous offender based on that guilty plea, as well as for an assault against another girlfriend 11 years ago, what the Crown called a pattern. While Jeurissen has dozens of other criminal convictions, they are mainly minor offences, with most being breaches of court conditions. “I found it difficult to discern a pattern,” Ker said, acknowledging the two incidents of domestic violence as severe. Jeurissen’s commonlaw wife, the victim of the assault in 2012, testified he had not hurt her on any other occasion, something Ker
said was backed up by intercepted calls from Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre (KRCC) to her — calls that were forbidden under a court order. For those calls and letters from jail demanding she lie and change her story about events that evening — demands that included physical threats — Jeurissen was convicted of obstruction of justice. He continued the calls even after being convicted, what Ker called a “cavalier disregard” for the courtordered ban on contact. “It’s his view . . . he doesn’t have to follow the rules,” she said. A psychological expert testified on behalf of the Crown that Jeurissen is at a high risk to reoffend violently. The 43-yearold has neurological problems, long-term substance-abuse issues and an anti-author-
itarian attitude. He has a record of threats against police, guards and Crown officials. Ker urged corrections officials to make available a full range of psychological help in jail. For the 10-year supervision order, Ker advised corrections officials to release Jeurissen slowly into the community and to make a requirement that he report any relationships with women to his parole officer. Jeurissen was sedated before his appearance on Sept. 11. Ker said she found it encouraging that, with the correct medication, Jeurissen appeared able to sit in court without the frequent outbursts that had him at first banished to appear by video only during his trial. Eventually, he was not able to be present, in person or by video from KRCC, due to his frequent outbursts.

Gaglardi to be sentenced in Kamloops on Oct. 10 CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Tom Gaglardi will learn his fate in less than a month. The 47-year-old owner of the NHL’s Dallas Stars and the majority owner of the Kamloops Blazers will return to a Kamloops courtroom on Oct. 10 to be sentenced after a judge in August found him guilty of two environmental charges. Gaglardi, who heads up Vancouver-based Northland Properties, was convicted on two counts of harmful alteration of a fish habitat stemming from renovations done to his family’s Kamloops Lake vacation home in 2010. The charges were laid after federal investigators caught wind of changes made to the lakeshore at the Savona property in the construction of a boat ramp. During the trial, former Northland employee Jim Parks testified he was ordered to destroy documents and throw his computer hard drive “in the lake� when authorities began looking into the environmental improprieties. The trial in Kamloops provin-
cial court started in January and wrapped up on Aug. 7, with Judge Chris Cleaveley handing down a guilty verdict to Gaglardi. Also charged were Gaglardi’s father, Bob Gaglardi, and Northland Properties. Only Tom Gaglardi was found guilty. The trial heard Gaglardi had Blazers general manager Craig Bonner acting as his representative in Kamloops, making phone calls to hire Shuswap-based contractors for the construction of the boat ramp. Gaglardi wrote in his notebook throughout the trial, alternating between notes on the proceedings, Northland business and what appeared to be line combinations for the Stars — who, at the time, were prepping for an NHL playoff series. He also had to be told repeatedly by sheriffs to turn off his iPhone, which, at one point, he concealed in a book on his lap. The maximum penalties for harmful alteration of a fish habitat are fines of up to $1 million and/or six months in jail. Northland properties is the company behind the recently completed Sandman Signature development on Lorne Street in downtown Kamloops.

LOCAL NEWS NATIVE BACKGROUND AT HEART OF APPEAL The chronic prohibited driver who earlier this year was handed a six-month jail term after he struck and killed a woman in a downtown Kamloops crosswalk is appealing his sentence. Donald Charles Isadore has filed a notice of appeal in B.C. Supreme Court on the grounds Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame failed to properly consider his native background in her sentence. Isadore, 64, was charged with failing to yield to a pedestrian after Valerie Brook was struck and killed in the crosswalk at Sixth Avenue and Victoria Street on Nov. 21, 2012. Brook, 66, was walking across Victoria Street on a green light while Isadore was turning left from Sixth Avenue toward Lake City Casino. In delivering her sentence, Frame called Brook’s death “an incomprehensible tragedy.” In the last three years, Isadore has been caught driving while prohibited five times — including twice in the weeks after he killed Brook. “He showed a complete and relentless disregard for the law and court orders,” Frame said. At the time of the crash that killed Brook, Isadore — who has never held a permanent valid driver’s licence, but has a record of driving infractions dating back to 1986 — was bound by multiple driving prohibitions and suspensions. Isadore’s appeal will be heard in B.C. Supreme Court on Jan. 5, 2015.

Kamloops Mounties have a man in custody after a suspected shoplifter pulled a knife on a store detective at the downtown Cooper’s Foods location on Friday, Sept. 12. RCMP Const. Jason Epp said the store detective tried to stop a man who had allegedly shoplifted from the grocery store in Lansdowne Village on Lansdowne Street. The suspect pulled out a knife and threatened the store detective before running from Cooper’s. Witnesses in the area helped police find the suspect a few blocks from the store, where he was arrested without incident. � On Sunday, Sept. 14, Mounties
handed out several tickets during a short enforcement project. Police were at three locations and used plainclothes officers to target offenders driving vehicles. Throughout the enforcement campaign, Mounties issued tickets for failure to wear a seatbelt (4), using a cellphone (8), running a red light (1) and failing to display the “N” (2). Police also issued two other moving-violations tickets, two vehicledefect tickets, while handing out eight notices and orders issued as warnings to drivers for minor defects. Distracted-driving enforcement will continue throug the month, in conjunction with ICBC.

ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops’ latest city council candidate is calling for a new industrial park and a referendum on the proposed Ajax mine as part of his platform for the Nov. 15 civic election. Mike O’Reilly added his name yesterday (Sept. 15) to the growing list of declared candidates. The former business-attraction manager for Venture Kamloops said he wants the city to be able to not just attract, but to keep businesses stationed here — something he said was a struggle during his time with Kamloops’ economic-development arm. “No sooner did they arrive here and they either turned around and left the city or they invested just outside municipal boundaries,� O’Reilly said. The main complaint he heard from business owners was a lack of industrial land, which O’Reilly proposing to fix with a new industrial park built in the city’s southwest sector. O’Reilly also wants to see the city itself
invest more on Kamloops’ North Shore by expanding some of its departmental headquarters to the other side of the river. “Fifty per cent of the population, or close to there, lives on the North Shore, but only 10 per cent of municipal employees work on the North Shore,� O’Reilly said, arguing moving a city department to the area would do more to improve the neigh-
On the subject of KGHM’s Ajax gold and copper mine, proposed for south of Aberdeen, O’Reilly didn’t state a firm position, saying he believes in “science, not theory.â€? But, he added, he wants to see the city do its own public engagement on the project, in the model of Fort St. John’s work with the community on the Site C dam, with a referendum to follow.

CAMPBELL IS ROOT CAUSE OF DISASTER
S
tudents in B.C. public schools have now missed an entire month of classes and there is just a glimmer of hope the B.C. Teachers’ Federation strike may end soon. The lack of meaningful bargaining for months, and willingness to leave the contract talks in limbo for almost the entire summer, is a major reason there are no classes. However, it is important to fully understand why things have come to this sorry state. There has been bad blood between the BCTF and the provincial government for more than 40 years, going back to the days of the W.A.C. Bennett Social Credit government. However, the real architect of this unmitigated disaster for students and parents is former premier Gordon Campbell. Policies enacted during his government’s first term, when he had a 75-seat majority in the provincial legislature, led directly to this situation. The BCTF likes to blame Premier Christy Clark, who, for much of the Campbell government’s first term, was education minister. However, she was not the developer of education policy. Campbell, a former teacher, was. He was well-known to be a micro-manager and he had pronounced views on what was wrong with the education system and how best to fix it. The BC Liberals’ “New Era” campaign document, which they brandished as they went into the 2001 election, stated that they wanted “excellence in education.” It stated the following: “The NDP’s rigid ‘one size fits all’ approach to education has hurt students, forced schools to cut services and diverted program funding to government-imposed labour contracts.” Campbell decided that the contract had to be changed, so his government removed portions of it unilaterally, taking out class size limits. A negotiated agreement is a must, as the government has said. There must be a movement away from the nastiness between the two sides which has reached a zenith in this dispute.

A semi-permanent vacation
I
f Cpl. Rick Brown is eventually acquitted of breach of trust, the charge for which he is now standing trial in Kamloops, and if he is ultimately faced with minor sanctions from within the RCMP, we might see being suspended with pay as being something for which to strive. Brown was the officer in charge on Aug. 10, 2010, when he and a group of other officers and a municipal guard watched with glee via video monitor as two extremely drunk women engaged in hardcore sexual acts. Brown is the lone Mountie to proceed to trial on the charge, yet even that journey has been peculiar in that the presiding judge, Justice Selwyn Romilly, pondered days before the trial whether the charge against Brown is indeed a criminal matter. Romilly was not convinced the case should go to trial, wondering if it was a civil matter to be dealt with by the RCMP. In the end, the trial did proceed and it is now underway, having started last week and set to resume tomorrow (Sept. 17). Another peculiarity is the fact Brown has not worked since August 2010, yet he is on paid administrative leave. So, for four full years, he has been receiving a paycheque, yet has not been required to work for that paycheque. If that paycheque is 100 per cent of salary, that is between $85,000 and $90,000 a year, according to the RCMP’s salary grid for corporals. As more than one person has quipped to me: “Where can I sign up for such a sweet gig?”
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS
Newsroom
MUSINGS Yes, there is undoubtedly a lot of stress hanging off Brown’s shoulders. After all, a conviction could end his career. And, even if he is acquitted, there likely remains sanctions to come from the RCMP. And, yes, defence lawyer Glenn Orris like demands a hefty fee, since he is one of the province’s most prominent barristers. Still, four years with a paycheque and nary a drop of sweat required . . . One could theoretically fly to Disneyland and ride the Matterhorn as a form of stress relief. One could theoretically jet to Mexico and engage in a therapeutic stress-busting session on the beach. One could theoretically simply live the life of Riley, waking up whenever, grabbing golf clubs, taking a walk in the park, enjoying a stroll through the mall, grabbing some Doritos and revelling in a daytime binge of Breaking Bad. One could theoretically bank the paycheques and grab a side job, perhaps next to a teacher or two on that gardening crew down the street.
I am all for the innocent-untilproven-guilty foundation of our justice system and, until a guilty verdict is handed down, it would be patently unfair to deprive Brown of any of his salary. However, if the RCMP feels a need to suspend him with pay due to the utter unseemliness of the accusations, surely to God there can be some non-policing work found to justify the deposit of about $360,000 taxpayer dollars over the past four years. If a Mountie under investigation or facing criminal charges cannot engage in investigative work, surely there is much other work that can be done. After all, the RCMP has consistently expressed concern about a lack of resources and cities like Kamloops are constantly faced with funding pressures. Rather than have Brown (and other officers in similar situations) stay at home and collect money for doing nothing, why not have them work 9 to 5 in clerical duties? There are always phone calls to be answered, paperwork to be filed, presentations to be given to schools and community groups, cars to be washed, charity endeavours to be organized. The Mounties have a fantastic annual event called Cops for Cancer. Why not order officers on administrative leave to grab their bikes and join in? There is something seriously wrong with a system that pays alleged wrongdoers to enjoy a vacation for nearly a half-decade. Remember this practice the next time budget woes hit the news. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

Many no longer know why they are doing what they do. Some are looking at early retirement or changing careers, working for the private sector or starting a business. Being constantly told you are lazy, greedy and selfish leads to self-recrimination and hopelessness. By abandoning our public-school teachers, we are abandoning our children — our future of hope. It is not just about the money and the contract language. It is about living in the present with goodness and looking to the future with hope for all of us — together. Let’s set a good example and get back to the classroom. Stop wasting precious time blaming each other and get on with the job of teaching children. Mike Weddell Kamloops
YOUR MP OFFICE IS THERE TO HELP Editor: I am writing in response to Tim Hulsey’s letter of Sept. 5 (‘Conservative spending’), in which he wrote about not receiving his Service Canada and Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) payments. For those who may not be aware, every MP has a constituency office that is willing and happy to help with any federal issues affecting you personally, whether they be related to GIS, immigration or
employment insurance, to name a few. If such issues arise, please don’t hesitate to visit us at 979 Victoria St., or to call 250-851-4991 for assistance. In addition, concerning GIS payments specifically, eligibility is reviewed every year by Revenue Canada. This is done using your income information from your federal income-tax and benefit return. If you still qualify, your benefit will be automatically renewed.
In July, you will receive a letter telling you either: • Your benefit will be renewed; • Your benefit will be stopped; • Your income information is required. For this reason, it is important that your income-tax and benefit return is filed each year in order to ensure your GIS payments do get reviewed. Cathy McLeod MP KamloopsThompson-Cariboo
OF DEATH AND TAXES Editor: I had to chuckle at the Sept. 11 letter from Susan Parker (‘Tired of being taxed to death’). If you can remember the days of The Royal Canadian Air Farce and John Morgan, you may remember his comment. In the United States, it is “death and taxes.” In Canada, it is “death from taxes.” Don Porter Kamloops

90 days in jail for sex offence against teen TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops man who admitted to sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl will spend 90 days in jail and two years on probation. Merlin Cameron pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court to one count of sexual interference of a person under 16. Court heard Cameron was 20 years old on Nov. 16, 2012, when he met a 14-year-old girl, the name of whom is protected by a court-ordered publication ban.
She told him she needed a place to stay and Cameron invited her to his house. Crown prosecutor Alex Janse said the two smoked marijuana, ate pizza and then went to bed, where they began to kiss. Janse said Cameron put on a condom and “attempted to have sexual intercourse” with the girl, who rebuffed him. He stopped when she asked him to. The next day, the girl told her mother about what had happened and she called police. Janse said Cameron immediately admitted to investigators what he had done.
“He told police he had ‘f---ed up,’” Janse said. “He admitted that he met [the girl] and she told him she had nowhere to go.” Cameron was handed a 90-day jail sentence, which will be served on weekends. He was also placed on a twoyear probation term with orders barring him from being alone with children under 16 years old. In addition, Cameron will have to submit a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database and spend the next decade as a registered sex offender.

VANCOUVER — A British Columbia man who lured teenage girls into prostitution has been convicted of 30 charges, including human trafficking, believed to be the first such conviction in the province. Reza Moazami was charged with 36 counts that also included living on the avails of a juvenile, sexual assault and sexual interference. Three of the offences he’s been convicted of have minimum five-year sentences. B.C. Supreme Court heard during Moazami’s trial that he recruited at-risk girls using promises of drugs, booze and the companionship of a pet dog. Court heard a girl who had become addicted to crack cocaine at age 12 allegedly began working for Moazami when she was 16 after meeting him at a shopping mall food court. A date for sentencing was expected to be set yesterday (Sept. 15). — The Canadian Press

kind of run — for mayor of Williams Lake. John Bjornstrom became a fugitive in 1999, surviving on food and items he stole from cabins in the Shuswap Lake area. He was armed with a shotgun and other weapons when Mounties finally arrested him in November 2001 and was in 2004 sentenced to 23 months of house arrest — to be served at his sister’s home in Williams Lake — after pleading guilty to charges including breaking-andentering. But Bjornstrom, who is now a logging truck driver, is hoping the results of the civic election this November will put him in the mayor’s job. He said some people will use his past notoriety to discredit him — but noted that’s politics. Bjornstrom, who still calls himself the Bushman, said he’s healthy after a recent battle with cancer. — The Canadian Press

WESTJET TO CHARGE FEE FOR FIRST CHECKED BAGGAGE ROSS MAROWITS
THE CANADIAN PRESS
EXTRA COST APPLIES TO ECONOMYFARE CUSTOMERS
MONTREAL — The cost of flying is increasing for millions of Canadian passengers after WestJet Airlines announced it will start charging some economy-fare customers a fee to check their first bag on flights within Canada and to the United States. The new fee, ranging between $25 and $29.50 depending on provincial taxes, will apply to all new bookings made as of Monday, Sept. 15, for travel on WestJet and its regional airline, Encore, as of Oct. 29. WestJet said the new charge — to be paid at check-in or up to 24 hours online before travel — is expected to affect 20 per cent of its travellers, or some 4.4-million passengers a year. Different baggage allowances will apply to those in other fare classes or those using its new loyalty program, which was launched this week. WestJet’s Flex fares avoid the first baggage charge, while Plus fares provide more leg room, boarding and two free checked bags. WestJet RBC World Elite
MasterCard holders and up to eight guests travelling on the same reservation won’t pay the first checked bag fee. Passengers flying to international destinations, including Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and Europe will continue to be able to check a first bag at no charge. Baggage allowances for military personnel, infant and child equipment, mobility devices and those travelling in connection with other airlines are not affected. Despite the new baggage fee, the Calgary-based airline said its fares allow customers to purchase the services they want. “This user-pay type of system allows us to keep fares as low as
possible, introduce lower sale fares and avoid fare increases, which benefits you and liberates even more Canadians from the high cost of air travel,’’ said Bob Cummings, WestJet’s vice-president of sales, marketing and guest experiences. WestJet has said it put off a decision on charging for first checked bags until technological challenges were ironed out to exempt frequent-flyer and loyalty credit-card customers. It currently charges all customers for a second checked bag, which will be changed to between $25 and $29.50. Air Canada is expected to follow suit and charge for first checked bags on flights within
Canada, as it does for service to the United States. “We are always monitoring industry developments such as this with great interest,” Isabelle Arthur, a spokeswoman for the Montreal-based carrier, wrote in an email. “We will evaluate it going forward,’’ Porter Airlines began charging $25 for the first bag and $35 for a second bag checked on domestic travel as of May. Walter Spracklin of RBC Capital Markets estimates the new baggage fee will generate more than $100 million in annual pre-tax operating profits, representing $4.81 per share. With the new charge, WestJet
is catching up to other North American carriers, which, on average, generate at least $20 per passenger in ancillary fees. The fee is expected to add $6 to the $10 per passenger WestJet currently receives. “The key is that WestJet continues to have opportunities to close this gap including on-flight media fees and other ancillary revenue opportunities,’’ Spracklin wrote in a report. He said such a charge would also add about $100 million in annual pre-tax operating profits for Air Canada, equal to $1.84 per share. WestJet’s baggage announcement boosted the share prices of the country’s two largest airlines. On the Toronto Stock Exchange, WestJet’s shares hit an all-time high of $32.88 and were up $1.74, or 5.65 per cent, at $32.53 in later morning trading yesterday. Air Canada’s shares were up 51 cents, or 5.96 per cent, at $8.98. WestJet has also launched a new three-tier rewards program that will give customers as of Oct. 29 a variety of benefits depending on how much they spend on WestJet flights in a year.

ick Foley is going to have a nice day, even if ticket pre-sales are poor and, well, he has no idea where he’s performing. “Is it Kamloop or Kamloops?” said the WWE Hall of Famer, who will bring his comedic storytelling act, Hardcore Legend: An Evening with Mick Foley, to the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre on Friday, Sept. 19. “I’ve never heard of the city, so just trust that I wouldn’t be there unless I was going to be good,” Foley said. “If you’re going to stink, you can do that in, like, Orlando, Florida, because you can go to the Magic Kingdom after stinking. “After Kamloops, there’s no Magic Kingdom. I think it’s on to Revelstoke or another city I’m only vaguely aware of. “My only intention is to really be good and put a smile on people’s faces.” The show gets underway at 7 p.m. Tickets are available for $37.50 at kamloopslive.ca. “I believe we’re looking at a pretty small pre-sale in Kamloops,” Foley said. “I was pretty shocked. I was like, “Aren’t they going to trust that it’s going to be a good show?’ “It doesn’t matter to me if it’s 50 people or 5,000 — I’m going to give you my A game.”
WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley is bringing his stage show to Kamloops on Friday, Sept. 19.

The Long Island, N.Y., resident wanted to prove he could get laughs without pandering to the wrestling crowd, but Foley soon realized he was alienating himself from his most endearing material.

“I don’ t care how funny Louis C.K. might be, he doesn’t have a story about wrestling with a tooth stuck in his nose,” Foley told KTW. “You might as well go with your strengths. “Once I realized there’s nothing wrong with being the wrestling guy, the show kind of took off.” The 49-year-old is revered in the wrestling world, considered one of the most fearless

superstars to ever enter the squared-circle, his mosticonic moment coming at King of the Ring in Pittsburgh in 1998, when the Undertaker launched him off of a 16-foot cage through an announcers’ table — the Spanish one, of course. Foley had several personas throughout his 17-year in-ring career, including Cactus Jack, Mankind and Dude Love.
KTW devised a 10-question survey for Mick Foley, inquiring about everything from mental-health issues in wrestling to the best young performers in the business. KTW: Who are some of the best young wrestlers in WWE? MF: I don’t just have a go-to list, but I really like Bray Wyatt and Dean Ambrose because they’re kind of the closest to what I loved about wrestling. They’re the guys that can take you on a journey with their minds. KTW: The biggest OMG (Oh my God!) moment outside of your career? MF: I’ve got to tell you, [WWE NXT performer] Adrian Neville is doing some stuff that even made my wife’s jaw drop and she’s seen a lot of wrestling. She kept on going, ‘Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!’ (At this point of the interview, Foley’s wife piped up in the background with her opinion on Neville and Mick yelled back, “I think it’s my interview, OK?” He was joking, of course.) KTW: What do you think about the barrage of advertising in a three-hour RAW broadcast? MF: It’s a different world now. I guess it’s a necessary evil. I prefer the matches to be the emphasis but, in today’s world, I think that’s what’s needed to help WWE thrive. It’d be nice to go back to a lot of ways from years ago, but we’ve seen the last of that. The WWE always does what it needs to survive. Pushing the WWE App and the WWE Network are things we’re going to have to understand. KTW: Which wrestlers are the WWE misusing the most? MF: I want to be a glass-half-full guy, especially because I’d like to come back to WWE in the next year. I watched the WWE countdown on the general managers and we laughed through the entire episode and it reminded me of how many things they do right. You can’t use 30 guys correctly. There’s got to be guys that are pushed and guys who aren’t. I’ve gone on record as saying I’d like to see [Dolph] Ziggler get a push and I still believe that the waves of [Damien] Sandow mania are going to crash down on our shores. KTW: How important is it to have a rival promotion? MF: I definitely think we [WWE] did our best work when we had competition. Given that there is no direct competition, WWE does a great job on a weekly basis. But, as we’re seeing on the Monday night wars show, that was a great time and it was great primarily because we had competition [from WCW].

Matt Needham banged home a rebound in overtime to lift the Kamloops Blazers to a 4-3 victory over the Prince George Cougars at Interior Savings Centre on Friday, Sept. 12. The game marked the end of the preseason schedule for Kamloops, which finished 4-1. The Blue and Orange opened the scoring in the second period, with Jake Kryski blocking a shot in his own end and scoring on the resulting breakaway opportunity. The goal came 1:10 into the second period. The Cougars scored
twice to respond, with both goals coming on the power play. Colby McAuley put one past Connor Ingram to tie the game (Ingram stopped 16 of 17 shots) before Sam Ruopp scored on Cole Kehler to put PG ahead 2-1. In the third frame, Blazer defenceman Patrik Maier tied the game 2-2 with a point shot on the power play. The Cougars again took the lead with just more than six minutes to go in the game, a Brad Morrison marker, but Josh Connolly managed to slip the puck in from a bad angle to tie the game 3-3 with just
more than a minute remaining in the final frame. In overtime, with the Blazers on the power play, Kryski set up a one-timer for Deven Sideroff and Needham was there to knock in the rebound. Kehler stopped 11 of the 13 shots that came his way in relief of Ingram. Kamloops opens the regular season on Friday, Sept. 19, when the Victoria Royals are in town. Game time is 7 p.m. at ISC.

Stop part of Canadian tour From page A13
The four-time WWE world champion said Cactus Jack and Mankind often make appearances during his set, but the Dude rarely
shows his face. A multi-time New York Times bestselling author, Foley is no stranger to storytelling and he plans to spin yarns all across the
country on a Canadian tour that kicks off today (Sept. 16) in Maple Ridge and wraps up on Oct. 24 in Ottawa. It might seem a stretch to compare
Hardcore Q&A, continued From page A13 KTW: Given the Chris Benoit tragedy (in 2007, Benoit killed his wife and son before committing suicide) and the recent suicide of wrestler Sean O’Haire, what are your thoughts on mentalhealth issues and how they’re impacting the wrestling world? MF: I don’t know what Sean’s background was and I don’t know what the specifics were but, in general, trying to make a post-wrestling adjustment is very difficult, to go from being on the supermarket aisle next to Spiderman to wondering what your next step in life is going to be. The awareness is really good. The suicide caught all of us off guard, but I don’t know if you can isolate it to or blame wrestling. Robin Williams’ death shocked us all and he was a guy who seemingly had everything to live for. It’s something everyone needs to learn about, but I don’t know if you can specify wrestling as a culprit. I have my own concussion issues. Getting out there on the stage is also a form of therapy. It’s going out there and doing the closest thing possible to entertaining an audience in a ring.
Everyone’s got to find something they enjoy almost as much and that’s a pretty big challenge because wrestling is a pretty extraordinary world. KTW: What is the best finishing move of all time? MF: It’s got to be the Superfly splash, granted that people do it higher and better now. KTW: Who is the best wrestler of all time? MF: In my opinion, it’s Terry Funk because he made believing so easy. KTW: What is the best wrestling match of all time? MF: Ric Flair-Terry Funk I-quit match from the New York Knockout in 1989 . . . great storytelling. KTW: What is the most hardcore moment of your career? MF: When I asked referee Mike Chioda if I’d already been on a stretcher [at King of the Ring in 1998]. When he told me I’d already been on a stretcher, I told him I couldn’t be on two stretchers in one night. Having that as one of your rules of life, one stretcher a night, that’s pretty hardcore.
stand-up comedy to suplexes and piledrivers, but Foley said the two are akin. “It’s honestly very similar,” said Foley, who is married and has four children. “The contrast is that unless a show goes really poorly, I’m not going to end up in an emergency room. “The wounds can be emotional after a bad show, though, and that’s a similarity. “You go out there, you do your best and sometimes things don’t work out your way or the energy of the crowd isn’t there.” Whether the crowd is there — both in numbers and spirit — on Friday remains to be seen. “I’d be flattered if anyone from the local wrestling scene would come out and watch me do my thing,” Foley said. “People don’t know what to expect and I’m proud to say I hurdle over the bar of expectations people arrive with. “I hope it’s a lastminute town.”

Felix Larouche did not want a repeat of the Kamloops Storm’s home opener. Facing the Sicamous Eagles on Sunday, Sept. 14, the Storm forward led the way with three goals and three assists as Kamloops went on to win 8-0. It was a far cry from the 5-0 loss the team

played to the previous night against the Summerland Steam. “It’s been a while, for sure,” Larouche said with a laugh, trying to recall his last hat trick. “Probably since peewee.” “Felix is good. He’s our leader,” Storm head coach Ed Patterson said following the game. “He always works hard, he always drives the net, he does every little thing right and it’s paying dividends for him. Not just in the goals, but in how the other guys emulate him and everything like that.” It was certainly a tale of two teams at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre on the weekend, with a shutout loss on Saturday and a shutout victory on Sunday. Some growing pains are expected for Kamloops this season. Larouche said the team seemed nervous in the home opener, a product of its youth and inexperience. But, on Sunday, the Storm dominated for most of the game, outshooting Sicamous 51-24. So, when asked which team was the real Kamloops Storm

— the one that lost to Summerland or the one that shelled Sicamous — Patterson said he hopes his club will continue to get closer to the latter as the season progresses. “We’re young, you know, so any time we play an experienced team like we did on Saturday, they might make us look that way,” Patterson said. “But, before the end of the season, I hope tonight’s the kind of team you’re going to see on a regular basis.” Patterson said goaltender Bailey De Palma struggled
in his first outing on Saturday, surrendering four goals on 10 shots before being pulled in his debut in a Storm uniform. De Palma put his first loss behind him to pitch the shutout on Sunday. He was tested early, making a tough save on a breakaway attempt for his first stop of the game. “It was a tough one yesterday, but it was a good bounce-back today,” De Palma said. “The team played really well in front of me and they made it easy for me.”
Kamloops now heads out on the road, facing Sicamous, the Nelson Leafs and the Spokane Braves. The Storm will be back in Kamloops to face the Revelstoke Grizzlies on Sept. 26. There may be some losses while they’re out on the road and, for that matter, over the course of the season, but the early indication is Kamloops won’t be a team that gives up this season. “You can never stop working, that’s for sure,” Patterson said. “When you stop working, you’re done.”

TRU winless on CIS opening weekend Success in the ranks of Canadian Interuniversity Sport won’t come easy for Thompson Rivers University.

The men posted a loss and a draw, falling 1-0 to the Fraser
Valley Cascades on Saturday, Sept. 13, a day after tying 0-0 with the Trinity Western Spartans. On the women’s side, TRU lost twice — falling 2-1 to Fraser Valley on Saturday and 3-1 to Trinity on Friday. Kelsey Martin and Marlie Rittinger scored for the women on the weekend. Both of TRU’s soccer
squads will search for their first win this weekend, with the UBC Thunderbirds in town on Friday, Sept. 19, and the Victoria Vikes coming to Hillside on Saturday, Sept. 20. The women get underway at 5 p.m. on Friday, with the men to follow at 7 p.m. On Saturday, the women play at noon and the men get underway at 2 p.m.

Leos, city ink deal to keep camp in Kamloops MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
marty@kamloopsthisweek.com
The B.C. Lions will hold training camp in Kamloops through 2017. “We say it over and over and we’re not say-
ing something that’s not true — Kamloops is first-class and the facilities are world-class,” Lions’ general manager Wally Buono told KTW at a press conference held yesterday (Sept.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING September 24th at ABC Country Restaurant Meeting Room, 1835 Rogers Place, Kamloops @ 7:00pm

15) at the Tournament Capital Centre to announce the extension. “When you look at the support we get from fans, from the city and from the corporate community, it makes it really, really tough not to come back.” Camp came to Kamloops in 2010 on a three-year deal with an option for 2013, which was exercised. In February 2013, the Leos announced they would stay in Kamloops through 2014. In May, the city and the Lions confirmed camp would be held in the River City in 2015. The two sides continued to talk about a longer-term extension, the one announced yesterday. Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar spoke at the press conference, trumpeting the Leos’ value to the city from a marketing standpoint.
“It really backs up our credibility when we call ourselves Canada’s Tournament Capital, that we mean it and we can deliver,” said Milobar, who raved about the Hillside Stadium facilities, which, he noted, make several other CFL training-camp sites look like “parking lots.” Nanaimo, Prince George, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Courtenay and Kelowna are among the cities rumoured to be interested in hosting camp, but they were unable to intercept it from Kamloops. The Lions are not ruling out staying at Hillside past 2017, but both Buono and George Chayka, the Lions’ vicepresident of business, said they will be looking at other options. “It’s been difficult to leave the City of Kamloops,” Chayka said. “They’ve just done
a really great job. It’s a great city to work with. “We’re going to be back for another three years and we’ll explore where our next location will be after 2017. “We pride ourselves on being the British Columbia Lions and being relevant across the province.” The city pays the Lions about $40,000 to hold camp. There is an estimated economic spinoff of $300,000 into the community. Kamloops is also promoted in game programs and on the Jumbotron at Lions’ home games at BC Place Stadium, and the city receives $10,000 in tickets, which are sold or given to charities for fundraising. Lions’ head coach Mike Benevides would have no qualms if Kamloops was longterm home base to training camp. “In terms of the

facilities and everything else, there’s nothing that matches it,” Benevides said in June of 2013. “You can talk to people from the other league [the NFL] that come here as scouts . . . it’s everything that we want.” Milobar would like to see the Lions stay here beyond 2017. “That continuity is huge and certainly, if we can, that would be so wonderful and that would be great,” the mayor said. “But, the Lions like
to try and move things around from time to time and we only have so many funds available for us at the same time.” Inclement weather has plagued camp in years past, but clear skies and warm temperatures were the norm at Hillside in 2014. “If you guys can guarantee that for the next 20 years, we might be back for 20 years,” Buono said with a laugh. “It’s getting better every year and this year was by far the best.”

Celebration of Life
WILLIAM (BILL) HALLDING
August 10, 1963-June 12, 2014 It is with much heartache and sorrow that we share the passing of Carmen. He was born and raised in Kamloops, and in later years moved to Mission and Abbotsford where he passed. He touched the lives of many, and his warm caring personality will always be remembered by those who really knew him. Carmen’s memory will be treasured by his son Joseph Clark Robertson; his sisters Karen Robertson of Salmon Arm, Catherine Robertson (Stan) of Kamloops; special friend Mary Lagace of Mission, as well as other family members. Carmen was predeceased by his grandparents Dr. G.M. Clark and Carrie Elizabeth Clark; parents, George and Georgina Roberston, Uncles J. Maurice Clark and Frank F. Clark. Carmen was a kind soul, a good friend and had a heart of gold. He will be missed greatly by his family and by the people whose lives he touched. A celebration of his life was held at the Salvation Army Centre of Hope in Abbotsford, with a reception that followed. Pastor Jesse Wegenast of 5 and 2 Ministries and Pastor Al Breitkreuz officiated a beautiful service. A graveside service was held in Kamloops with the Salvation Army officiated by Lisa, Paul and Samuel. A special thank you also goes out to Crystal with Bakerview Crematorium in Mission for assisting with arrangements. As per Carmen’s wishes he was laid to rest with his parents at Hillside Cemetery in Kamloops. There are not enough words of thanks to all of you who gave so much love, care, respect and prayers. It has meant so much to us in this trying time. Now he is at peace and is in the arms of Angels. Amen
DEL MARKHAM JULY 8, 1960 SEPTEMBER 9, 2014
He leaves behind his beloved wife Cathy Markham, his children Carrie Clark, Penny Stewart, Rob Stewart, Christina Guercio. His siblings Wanda Burnett, James Markham, Barry Markham, Inez Rheum and seven beloved grandchildren. He was a loving and giving husband, father and brother. He will be greatly missed by all, but we keep in our hearts he is flying with his beloved eagles now. RIP.

DR. WILLIAM JAMES (BILL) MCLAREN Friends are invited to celebrate Bill’s life on Saturday, Sept. 20th at 1:00pm at “Cala Sonas� McLaren Family Cottage Casabella Road Shuswap Lake
William (Bill) Hallding is survived by his loving wife, Irene and four children, Sherin (Ron), Diane (Jim), Isabel (Bernie), Rick (Jane), along with many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Bill is survived by his sister, Eileen. Predeceased by his mother, Isabel Farr Hallding, and his father, Ernest Hallding, brother Ernest, his sisters Amy and Isabel, and his grandson, Chad. Bill flew 36 missions with the RCAF, in WW2, and lost his brother Ernest to that War. Bill attended High School in Metro Vancouver, graduating in the late 30’s. Throughout his high school years he was very active in Track and Field , and won the 440 with a time of 54 seconds. In 1953, he began his employment with Trans Mountain Oil Pipeline, in Burnaby. He was transferred to Kamloops in 1955; retiring from Trans Mountain in Vancouver, on September 1, 1980. His years with Trans Mountain were a very important part of his life. His favourite place to spend time with his family, was at Shuswap Lake, at the family property. His healthy lifestyle allowed him to continue waterskiing until the age of 72. Bill passed, on August 3, 2014, at the age of 92, with his family by his side. He was a sensitive man, that would give the shirt off his back to those in need. His family was his life. He is sadly missed and lovingly remembered.
HILDA KENDALL (nee Bepple) On September 9, 2014 Hilda passed away after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. Mom was born in Alexanderfeld, Romania to George and Katharina Bepple on April 16, 1925. She immigrated with her family to Canada when she was three. In 1949 she married her first husband Larry and together they had eight children. Together with him they opened the Brown Owl Bakery and the Sharon CafÊ. Mom worked throughout the years at different restaurants around town. She attended Cariboo College and received her certificate from the Culinary Arts program. She then worked for the Overlander Care Home until her retirement. Mom’s cooking and baking were well known throughout her career and her children benefitted from the wonderful meals she provided, some ending with one of her pies, which we all loved. Whenever we arrived home for a visit, there was always a pot of soup on the stove awaiting our arrival, with cakes or cookies and tea and coffee. The arrival of grandchildren brought her much joy as she loved them all and spent as much time as she could with each of them. Sadly for the younger ones, Alzheimer’s had already robbed her of her sharp wit and winning smile. Mom loved the outdoors and puttering in her garden. She spent many hours nursing her vegetable garden and planting flowers throughout her yard. We spent many weekends at Shuswap Lake which provided her with a much needed break from work. Mom loved to read and you could always find her with a book in her hand. Mom attended church all her life and she loved to sing. When she was in Ponderosa, she loved the music hour and could still remember all the words to the songs. We will miss her deeply. She cared for us with a steady and solid hand through a somewhat tumultuous life, never wavering in her strength. It was her strength of character that brought her through those rough waters and landed her safely ashore to live a quieter life. We are forever grateful for this and love her deeply for caring for us first and foremost. Sadly, she spent far too long in care being placed in Ponderosa in 2001, followed by Kamloops Senior’s Village. Mom is predeceased by her parents George and Katharina Bepple, an infant daughter Wanda Dean and her son Gordy Dean.

History of love, war at Tranquille JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
W
hen the Tranquille tunnels opened for public tours last fall, Tim McLeod didn’t know what to expect. But, when the news hit Facebook, it went viral and, when the season wrapped up that winter, demand surpassed expectation. “We actually had 143 sold-out shows in a row,” said McLeod, Tranquille Farm’s development manager. “We couldn’t stop.” “It was just unbelievable.” McLeod attributed the popularity of the tours to the site’s history — being an old sanatorium — and he noted that former staff even came and checked it out. Last year’s tour featured a story about the history of the medical institution, which opened in 1907 to treat people
with tuberculosis. In keeping with the history, this year’s tour — The Tranquillian Soldier — marks the 100th anniversary of the First World War. Staged around the war and based on a true story, guests experience life as a soldier who is later sent to the hospital. There, he meets a nurse, falls in love and, together, they share stories with a local, underground newspaper called The Tranquillian. McLeod said the tour was created with help from public records and community members. “We actually have the first four pages of the first edition [of The Tranquillian],” he said. “We always want to make it a story that’s reflective of our past.” Guests move around the grounds, meeting new characters and may notice another historical aspect along the way. “In the story, we’re celebrating our 10th anniversary,” McLeod said. The tunnels will once again be the
backdrop to the theatrical performance that takes about an hour to complete. McLeod said a new area of the underground village was opened for this year’s tours, under the Centennial building. “We’ve turned it into a very cool theatre space,” he said. After last year’s turnout, McLeod is looking forward to another year and the new production that began earlier this month and will continue into the fall based on demand and weather. “It’s going to be theatre, art show, special effects, history and a tour all bundled together,” McLeod said. The tours run nightly at Tranquille Farm, 4600 Tranquille Rd., at various times. Tickets are $28.80 and can be purchased from Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., by calling 250-374-5483 or online at kamloopslive.ca. Dress warm because the show goes on rain or shine.

Be Bear Smart Bears and people come into conflict when our garbage is easy to access and other attractants are poorly managed. Properly storing and securing garbage and other bear attractants is a proven method for discouraging bears and preventing problems in your neighbourhood. Bear Prevention Tips • Freeze pungent waste and store garbage inside until pick up. • Rinse recyclables • Pick fruit daily as it ripens or before it ripens if you don't intend to use it • Do not put meat, oils, dairy or un-rinsed eggshells or cooked foods into the compost bin • Turn your compost regularly and cover with leaves or soil to help decrease odours
$4 E V A S
Bear Bylaw Residents are reminded not to place their solid waste containers out before 4 am on collection day between April 1st and November 30th and to not accumulate or improperly store bear attractants. Violators are subject to a $100 fine.

Prius milestone
It all began nearly 15 years ago when Toyota introduced Canadians to the Prius, the world’s first massproduced hybrid. Today, after many years of strong and steady sales growth, Toyota Canada is proud to celebrate the milestone of having sold 100,000 hybrids in Canada. In fact, of all the hybrids sold in Canada since 2000, more than three quarters come from Toyota and Lexus. Toyota offers the greatest variety of powertrains among all manufacturers. There are six Toyota and soon to be six Lexus hybrid models available in Canada. From Toyota, there’s the original Prius, Prius v, Prius c, Prius Plug-in, Camry Hybrid and Highlander Hybrid.

collisions and improve traffic congestion by sending and receiving basic safety information such as location, speed and direction of travel between vehicles that are approaching. It will warn drivers and can supplement active safety features, such as forward collision warning, already available on many production cars. As the world becomes more congested and new populations need access to personal mobility, accidents continue to be a global concern.
Honda Canada is introducing a 40th Anniversary Gold Wing with an embossed seat, special badging and 40th Anniversary key for two-tone models.
Honda Gold Wing over the hill Next year marks the 40th anniversary of the Gold Wing and Honda is celebrating with a commemorative 40th Anniversary Edition. “When Honda introduced the Gold Wing back in 1975 it revolutionized what motorcycling touring would soon become,” said, Derek Verheyen, national sales manager, Motorcycle & ATV. From the beginning the Gold Wing offered riders an innovative combination of high performance, and remarkable comfort and reliability - a combination of attributes that were rare at the time and that combined to open up new long range riding
possibilities for a broad range of enthusiasts. For 2015 the commemorative Gold Wing will be offered in two-tone Candy Red and Black, marked with unique adornments as a special 40th anniversary edition. The ultimate touring motorcycle equips riders with its trademark six-cylinder 1832cc powerplant, an engine so efficient and reliable that pas-
sengers to focus on the accommodations, like an audio system with iPod connectivity and standard navigation system. Special 40th anniversary edition includes an embossed seat (on two tone red model only), badging on the rear top box, an emblem on the riders console on GL and F6B models and a special 40th key on all Gold Wing models.
Ford goes landfill-free Reducing waste is part of Ford Motor Company’s strategy to build global-leading manufacturing operations. The Oakville Assembly plant now sends no operational waste-to-landfill, an achievement that gives Ford Motor Company the distinction of becoming landfill-free at all its manufacturing facilities in Canada. “The Oakville Assembly is the first Ford assembly plant in North America to achieve this environmental designation. Ford is very proud that all its Canadian
Ford’s Oakville Assembly plant has achieved zero waste-to-landfill status giving Ford Motor Company the distinction of becoming landfill-free in all manufacturing facilities in Canada.
manufacturing facilities are sending zero waste to landfill,” said Joe Hinrichs, president of Ford Americas. “We are expanding our manufacturing
footprint in Oakville while decreasing our environmental footprint.” In 2013, Oakville Assembly recycled close to 2,000 metric tonnes
of wood, cardboard, paper and plastic, saving more than 5,000 cubic metres of landfill space and more than 32 million litres of water. — Metroland Media

HOME AND GARDEN
DON’T BE A TOOL
Prepare for Old Man Winter It’s time to gear up for the inevitable. “There’s nothing worse than heading out to tackle the first snowfall and finding that your tools aren’t properly prepared,” says Michelle Sordi, director of marketing at Husqvarna Canada, a worldwide leader in outdoor power products. “By following a few simple steps, you can ensure that you’re ready to go once the weather turns.” Here are Sordi’s recommendations for efficient snow removal: • Fill it up: Ensure that you drain any remaining fuel from the previous season and fill up your machine with fresh gasoline.
• Change your oil: Just like in your car, the oil in your winter tools needs changing. Change the oil in your machine to ensure an easy and smooth start in the cold weather. • Test the spark plugs: Starting your power tools will be easier if your spark plugs are in good condition. When in doubt, replace them. A new spark plug will better ignite the fuel mixture, making it easier to start. • Check the blades: Before each season, check the blades of your snow thrower for wear and tear. The blades may have worn down if you have had your machine for a long time, in which case you can have them
replaced at a dealer that specializes in these power tools, like Husqvarna. • Check the tires: Flat tires will not get the job done. Check the tires and pump them up if necessary. • Get it started: After you have checked all of its parts, give your machine a start before the snow hits to make sure everything is running smoothly. This way you can take it to a dealer and get it serviced beforehand, ensuring that everything is running smoothly come that first snowfall.
