Victim may have survived with aid CJ Fowler was 16 when she was slain in December 2012. Her then-boyfriend, Damien Taylor, now 24, is charged with second-degree murder.

CJ Fowler was found lifeless with a concrete block on her chest, but the Crown suggested yesterday in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops that one of her injuries may have been caused by a mechanic’s tool seized by police from her boyfriend’s backpack. Dr. Gilles Molgat, a forensic pathologist, was testifying in the trial of Damien Taylor. Now 24, Taylor is charged with seconddegree murder in connection to Fowler’s death on Dec. 5, 2012. Molgat detailed injuries to Fowler, consisting of blunt force trauma to her face and head. Her skull was caved in on the right side and her jaw was smashed. Molgat said he believes Fowler died from asphyxiation after her tongue was pushed and trapped in her airway. Fowler was found with her legs crossed, what Molgat called an “odd” position. “It was most likely she was sitting crosslegged and either laid backwards or fell backwards,” he said. Aside from the extent of injuries to the 16-year-old girl visiting Kamloops from Terrace, Crown prosecutor Alexandra Janse focused on the number of blows Fowler suffered.
Molgat said it is “50/50” whether Fowler was struck more than once. A 56-pound rough-edge concrete block was found on her chest with her blood on it, leading Molgat to believe it caused most of her injuries. But, Janse also focused on a laceration — a linear tearing of the skin and tissue — on Fowler’s face. “That implies a long object with a bit of an edge, without being sharp,” Molgat said. Police intercepted Taylor in Prince George the same day Fowler’s body was found. They eventually seized his backpack. Inside, they found an SD card from Fowler’s phone and a breaker bar — a mechanic’s tool similar to a socket wrench
used to free seized bolts. Laboratory testing of that breaker bar found Fowler’s DNA on it. Despite that suggestion, Molgat conceded the linear tear may also have been caused by the edge of the concrete block. Taylor and Fowler were last seen in the early morning hours of Dec. 5, 2012, at Royal Inland Hospital, where they had gone after Fowler expressed worry about chest pains from crystal meth use. It was at the hospital the two were told she was pregnant. Tests later showed the baby was Taylor’s. The Crown earlier said it will produce evidence showing the two argued as they left the hospital. Dog walkers found Fowler’s body at 1 p.m. that day. Taylor took one of the pair of bus tickets purchased for them by Fowler’s stepfather to head back north to Terrace. While the trauma to Fowler’s head and face were severe, Molgat said she may have survived her injuries with prompt medical attention. Fowler had crystal meth and marijuana in her body, but the amounts were not lethal.

Notice to Residents
Aberdeen Booster Station Repair The City of Kamloops will be conducting repair work on the Aberdeen Booster Station on Friday, October 2, 2015 starting at 10:00 am. Water supply to the reservoir will be shut down for up to 8 hours and residents and businesses located south of Hugh Allan Drive in Aberdeen will have a limited water capacity to supply domestic needs. Residents are urged to minimize water consumption, such as refraining from doing laundry, dishwashing, irrigating, or car washing. Once water is turned back on, the water supply may be discoloured due to disturbed deposits in pipes – it is not harmful as the water has been disinfected. Air may also be present in the piping. Running a cold water faucet for several minutes should eliminate both air and discoloured water problems. The City apologizes for any inconvenience. www.kamloops.ca

The economy, health care — and change ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Steve Powrie has heard about the big issues as he has toured the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo riding — most notably, the economy and the environment. But, he wouldn’t say either of those has been the No. 1 concern. “I think, in a more general sense, the fundamental ways that we approach government is probably the bigger issue,” the Liberal candidate said. “It’s kind of like the underlying issue to everything else.” Powrie said he has heard of distaste for the adversarial approach being taken in Canadian politics. He said voters are tired of closed, conflictual governing, the lack of accountability and transparency in decision-making, the first-past-thepost system, omnibus bills, proroguing Parliament and limiting the effectiveness of watchdogs. It’s no surprise, Powrie said, that faith and trust in government is at an all-time low. “The hyper-partisan approach that’s used by the parties is a huge obstacle to anything collaborative coming out of government,” he said. “So, we’re getting decisions that are not based on input, which then questions the whole representative advocacy part of a healthy democracy.” He noted any seats the Liberals win — having occupied so few after the last election — will be held by fresh faces who are willing to take new approaches. Green candidate Matt Greenwood has also heard of concerns about the current government, though the message he is receiving from voters is a little more to the point. “Basically, that [Prime Minister Stephen] Harper has got to go,” Greenwood said. “I’ve obviously been running pretty openly as the protest vote — people
recognize that it’s not so much about the issues in my case, as giving the disaffected Conservative voters a place where they can still vote and actually feel good about it.” Greenwood said he has had lifelong Conservative voters approach him after every forum, pledging him their votes in hopes of ousting Harper. He said even staunch right-wingers can see that what Harper has been giving the country is anything but conservatism. Greenwood hopes his candidacy can give disenfranchised voters an avenue to voice their discontent. Meanwhile, NDP candidate Bill Sundhu said while he has heard about the economy, jobs and the environment, issues related to the Canadian health-care system have come to the fore. “Health issues raised include a shortage of doctors, wait times for surgery, access to seniors’ long-term care and the high cost of drugs,” he said in an email to KTW, vowing his party would defend the public health-care model. “Prime Minister Harper imposed billions in unilateral cuts and his hands-off approach lowers standards and leaves the door open to privatization.” Incumbent Conservative MP Cathy McLeod said the main issue brought to her attention is one that has been a hot-button topic across the country throughout the entirety of the election. “Economy and jobs,” she said, noting voters are particularly concerned with ensuring there are opportunities for well-paying jobs and that the economy, in general, remains strong. McLeod added that the Conservatives have done their best to support sectors as needed, with nods to manufacturing, innovation and technology. “I believe that our economic plan very specifically addresses creating an environment where businesses will be successful in all sectors,” she said.

Charges in connection to robbery of pizza-delivery car City of Kamloops
SUSPECTS ALLEGED TO HAVE REPEATED CRIME Two men have been charged in connection to an incident in Kamloops last month in which a delivery driver for Papa John’s pizza was robbed of his vehicle. And, according to police in the Kootenays, the suspects robbed a pizza-delivery driver in Grand Forks of his vehicle and cash just three days after the Kamloops robbery. Rylee Andrew Shipley, 18, of Nova Scotia, and 19-year old Collton Emery Knowles from Alberta are charged in connection to the Kamloops and Grand Forks heists. They are also charged in connection to an armed robbery in Chilliwack that occurred between the Kamloops and Grand Forks incidents. Trail RCMP Sgt. Darren Oelke said the charges allege Shipley and Knowles used a handgun to rob a pizza-delivery DRIVER of his car, a blue 2006 Chevy Aveo, in the Cityview Shopping Centre in Kamloops on Sept. 3. The pair is then alleged to have driven the stolen vehicle to Chilliwack, where a convenience store was robbed at gunpoint. Following that incident, Shipley and Knowles are alleged to have driven to Grand Forks, where a pizza
delivery driver was robbed of cash and his vehicle, a 2004 Pontiac Sunfire, on Sept 6. At 8:45 p.m. that night, a Trail police officer encountered the stolen vehicle heading toward Rossland on Highway 3B. When police attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver raced away at a high rate of speed, lost control on a corner and struck a rock wall. Two men were arrested. “It is a complex file, so all the evidence is not yet before Crown,” Oelke told the Trail Times following the Rossland arrest. “Every day we are uncovering more of their crime spree in the Central Interior and the Fraser Valley.” Both men are charged with multiple offences, including robbery with a firearm during the commission of an offence for the Kamloops incident and using a firearm and disguise during the Chilliwack robbery. Those are in addition to the Grand Forks offences of robbery with a firearm, possession of stolen property, possession of a prohibited firearm, flight from police and other firearm-related charges. Knowles’ next court appearance in the Kootenays is slated for Oct. 20. Shipley will be in court on Nov. 17.

HOT: The ongoing dispute between city hall and Canadian Pacific Railway over crossings downtown. The railroad has petitioned Transport Canada to have the city close access across the tracks at Second and Third avenues to pedestrians and vehicles, citing too many trespassers. Closing those access points to and from Riverside Park and Sandman Centre would leave one downtown access point for vehicles and those in wheelchairs — First Avenue. Perhaps CP can get around to building overpasses or underpasses at Second and Third — after all, the company’s net income for the second quarter of 2015 rose to a record high of $390 million.
OUR
NOT: Some drivers in Kamloops, whose licences seem to have come from a box of Cracker Jack. Traffic was yet again backed up this week due to ill-timed incidents on the Halston and Summit connectors, effectively turning a trip to the North Shore into a slog. Yes, there is construction on Overlanders Bridge and along Columbia Street, but why do those projects seem to turn some drivers into impatient bores as they seek alternative routes. Slow down, relax and you’ll get there soon enough.
VIEW
HOT: Public interest in KGHM’s Ajax mine proposal. The City of Kamloops held a meeting on Monday to gather questions to forward to its consultant for when it reviews KGHM’s massive application. About 500 people showed up, many supporters of the proposed mine, which shows the Ajax issue remains paramount in the minds of residents — even with an election and referendum vying for attention.

Unearth potential? Never!
I
t’s hard to determine which was more bizarre — Michael Mehta’s patently ridiculous interpretation linking a common phrase about potential to a controversial proposed mine or the decision by the powersthat-be to essentially validate such nonsense. Mehta — who teaches at Thompson Rivers University and who is opposed to the proposed Ajax mine and equally against all things Conservative party (based on his bread crumbs on social media) — somehow read an innocent and common phrase as being a covert message that the university is supporting Ajax. Documentation on the branding process — one initiated when TRU decided to replace the tagline,“Now, that’s university” last year — included the sentence, “We believe that everyone has the right to unearth their potential.” Mehta and others who have signed his online petition claim it is language that demonstrates TRU is not neutral on Ajax and that “corporate and government lobbying and largesse have the potential to significantly influence the academic mission and future of the institution.” In the realm of conspiracy theories, I am more inclined to believe man did not land on the moon, George W. Bush himself detonated the World Trade Center buildings and those vapour mists in the sky really are chemtrails before swallowing Mehta’s paranoid interpretation. Alas, the university buckled

MUSINGS and subsequently deleted the “unearth your potential” bit from its branding strategy. It is an unfortunate capitulation. “Unearthing potential” is a phrase as ubiquitous in the selfhelp/career-building sector as heat during a Kamloops summer. Perhaps Mehta and his rabid followers might want to wander into Chapters bookstore, peruse the business section and count how many tomes invoke the “unearth your potential” phrase in their efforts to improve the careers of readers. Hint: These books are generally not aimed at miners. A cursory Google search will uncover similar information. Sadly, it matters not to some how black and white the facts are; there will always be a segment of the population who see a conspiracy behind every black helicopter in the sky ferrying the Illuminati to the next New World Order meeting. As some of my peers and many online posters have wryly
noted, Mehta’s revelation of a secret Ajax support code hidden in a career-development phrase may herald the extinction of more words from the lexicon on the TRU campus. No longer will students be able to have a “blast” at events; “digging” into research will be forbidden; using “resources” to study will be banned. This nonsense stems from the university spending far too much time and money on a branding strategy. About $115,000 will have been spent by the time TRU unveils its new slogan and associated marketing materials next year. It previously paid a firm $33,000 per word for the scintillating tagline, “Now, that’s university,” a slogan perhaps aimed at those who might have mistaken the splendid university for an open-pit mine. I wrote here previously and will repeat it again: My suggestion for TRU’s new slogan — Where Minds Meet — is perfect. It reflects the academic nature of the campus while honouring the First Nations history of the land (after all, Kamloops comes from the Secwepemc word T’kemlups, meaning “the meeting of the rivers”). It is offered to the university for nothing more than delivery of photos of those aliens housed in Area 51 in Nevada. I am sure Mehta and his colleagues have the original prints. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
MONEY DOES NOT GROW ON CITY TAXPAYERS Editor: How deep in debt is the City of Kamloops? Once again, there is a proposal to borrow more money for a non-essential project — the performing-arts centre. Our city is rapidly reaching the stage where more of the infrastructure will need replacing and we should be planning for those essential things. City road and bridge repair costs are at a high level this year and more roads need work
in all areas of the municipality. It is time to set some serious priorities on how taxpayers’ dollars are spent. How much debt, both short-term and long-term, are we carrying? Each time we are told it will only add one or two per cent to our tax bill — but this keeps adding up. The city needs to provide us a list of outstanding short-term and long-term loans and their costs so we can vote intelligently in the Nov. 7 referendum.
The economy is not doing well in B.C. or Canada and we should be very prudent with our spending. What will happen if interest rates on these loans rises by just one percentage point? There are plenty of questions, but few answers. The philosophy that money grows on taxpayers does not sit well with me. Ron Edward Kamloops
KAMLOOPSIANS DESERVE FIRST-CLASS ARTS CENTRE Editor: It seems not so long ago that I arrived in Kamloops. The population was less than a quarter of what it is today. At the time, I said I would stay only a year. However, my perception of the small town soon changed as I learned of an arts council, a professional theatre, the beginnings of a symphony orchestra, an art
gallery under development in the basement of the old library and a college. Over the past 38 years, the small town grew to become an important, mid-sized city with a vibrant and flourishing arts community in the interior of British Columbia. This huge cultural component is a cornerstone of our community and is envied by many cities
in Canada. The missing piece of Kamloops’ arts and cultural mosaic is a first-class performance centre. City hall has meticulously researched and proposed a plan that ensures the growth of arts and culture in this dynamic city. The plan is visionary, costeffective, solid and stable. Economic growth will be stim-
ulated — $11 million annually, I am told. In the future, this figure is sure to grow. The citizens of Kamloops and the region need and deserve a first-class performing-arts centre where everyone may have the opportunity to enjoy excellence. Tricia Sellmer visual artist Chazou Gallery
WE NEED TO FOCUS ON FIXING WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE Editor: I have a question for those supporting the proposed performing-arts centre. When their home becomes outdated and old and in desperate need of repairs, do they throw their hands up anbuy a new house? Any smart person would do renovations to update and hire proper people to repair their home. So, how do supporters justify borrowing
$49 million to build something new when we can’t fix what we already have? Please go visit some of our facilities. Have a real good look at what is barely holding them together. Westsyde Pool will be closed for more than a year. The privately owned Ice Box Arena may never open again. Brock Arena and Brock Pool need updating.
There are plenty of more examples if we would stop closing our minds to what is here today. Is it truly necessary to build new when we know the groves of people will not come? We need to open our eyes and minds to reality. We need to stop floating in the clouds. Donna Szucs Kamloops

Still here after 45 years The Bamboo Inn located in The Brock Shopping Centre has been a fixture in Brocklehurst and Kamloops for that matter since 1972. The longest serving restaurant in Kamloops has been dishing some of the tastiest Chinese food to their customers and it's no fluke they've been around so long. Cosmo Li, owner operator and his brother Wilson started their venture in the restaurant business with the idea that North Kamloops needed a Chinese eatery and it proved correct. Cosmo, a Psych nurse at the Tranquille Institution in 1972 and his brother Wilson, a chef from Hong Kong developed a take out only store front that quickly grew into a full service restaurant.
LOCAL NEWS
The current location at 1800 Tranquille road is the original location and as Cosmos says "We never mess with success". Bamboo Inn is a 100 seat facility that can also host business, staff, or any function and they have a liquor license. They also cater to large parties with any dietary requirements. Stop in or call and see what you may have been missing. "After 45 years, our food and customer service is proof enough that we're doing something right" Cosmo says.

TRU professor will keep petition alive DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
While “unearth their potential” is off the table as a branding phrase at the city’s university, the professor who sparked the discussion isn’t abandoning his online petition. Michael Mehta said administration at Thompson Rivers University did not address the second part of the petition, that the institution’s board of governors commit to an unbiased, inclusive branding process that represents
the core mission of the university. Practically speaking, Mehta said that means abandoning the “corporatization” of the university, with decisions being influenced by corporate donations for infrastructure, scholarships and programming. He wants TRU to monitor and get feedback on “threats to our academic mission, academic freedom.” In an email, Christopher Seguin, the university’s vice-president of advancement, said the concern is already addressed. “There are various mecha-
nisms in which all our stakeholders are consulted,” he wrote. “Faculty councils, the senate and the board of governors all have faculty representation and those faculty bring concerns and issues forward, where they are discussed and debated.” “These groups also contain students, staff and community members, so there are a wide range of views on every subject.” Mehta questioned the branding exercise itself, noting TRU spent $100,000 a few years ago to develop its “Now, that’s university” brand.

There was a part of Ryan Chyzowski that hoped he wouldn’t be a first-round pick. As teams began making their selections in the 2015 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft, the 15-year-old Kamloops native couldn’t help but think of what it would be like to one day play with his brother, Kamloops Blazers’ forward Nick Chyzowski. How nice it would be to be a part of the organization for which his dad, former first-round NHL pick
Dave Chyzowski, played from and now works. But, when the Medicine Hat Tigers took the podium for the 18th selection of the first round, Ryan heard his name called. “There was always that thought in my head that maybe I’d get to play with my brother one day,” Chyzowski told KTW. With the local kid off the board, the Blazers selected left-winger Jackson Shepard five picks later — 23rd overall — with the first selection of the second round. “But, I’m just as happy to go to Medicine Hat,” Chyzowski said.
He wasn’t exactly expecting to be a firstround selection. After a season marred by injury — Chyzowski tore the meniscus in his knee in a September 2014 pre-season game — he thought his draft stock might have fallen. But, while he could have fixated on the impact season-ending knee surgery would have on his career, Chyzowski focused instead on his rehab. He returned to the ice in February, in time to finish off the season with the Kamloops Junior Blazers and record four goals and four assists in six games at BC Hockey’s
under-16 BC Cup. He found his name on the shortlist for the under16 Western Canada Challenge Cup, which will be played later this month in Calgary. He was drafted by the Tigers. And, though high-end WHL draft picks have typically left the Tournament Capital to develop elsewhere, Chyzowski went against the grain, deciding instead to play his first season of midget hockey for the Thompson Blazers of the B.C. Major Midget League. “It was kind of always the place I wanted to go,” the centreman said, not concerned the Blazers

had won only 20 games over five seasons entering 2015-2016. He led the team to a victory in their first weekend with a pair of goals — he currently leads Thompson in the category with three. The Blazers play tomorrow and Sunday on McArthur Island against the Kootenay Ice. “Yeah, they haven’t been great in the past few seasons, but we’re looking to make that change this year and make the playoffs this year,” he said. “That’s kind of our big goal.” See SCHULZ, A13

Few surprises for Storm’s Patterson ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
There has been little in the first month of the season that has surprised Kamloops Storm head coach Ed Patterson. Is he surprised to see the Storm leading the Doug Birks Division with a 5-1-0-1 record? No. He’s ecstatic, but not surprised. Is it a shock to see rookie Dante Raposo leading the team in goals with eight and his linemate Dario Piva tied for the team lead in points with 10? Hardly. Patterson knew what he was getting when he secured both players for this season. In fact, the only thing Patterson admitted to being surprised about was the early
play of defenceman Austin Crossley and even that was only because he’d had relatively few opportunities to watch the Fort St. John native before the season started. So, Patterson’s not surprised about much, but he’s certainly happy. “Overall, I’m very pleased with the play of the team for the most part,” he told KTW. “More than that, the boys on the team, they’ve come together — they’re really close already. They seem to show a lot of good character and all that kind of stuff. It’s nice to see that.” The Storm will kick off the second month of the KIJHL season tonight with a 7 p.m. game against the winless Golden Rockets. They’ll be

in action tomorrow, too, at home to the Chase Heat, a club that served Kamloops one of only two losses in September and is on its heels for the division lead. The Storm haven’t surprised their coach yet, but a few more wins might do something to change that.
Part of Chyzowski’s faith in the Thompson organization might have to do with its head coach, Don Schulz. Schulz coached his brother Nick as a bantam, when he was at the helm of what he calls the “dream team,” a club that included future WHL draftees Joe Hicketts, Ryan Gropp, Chad Butcher, Carter Cochrane, Carson Bolduc, Liam McLeod and Mitchell Barker.
Now with Thompson, Schulz expects the younger Chyzowski will have a similar future. “Ryan is willing to go to dirty, greasy areas to score. He has got a nose for the net and he has an excellent shot and he works hard. He’s got the intangibles. He’s a good skater and, with the work ethic he has, those are good reasons why he has had some success early,” Schulz said. “I think he can be a top-six forward in the WHL. With his

“I think you’ll see a lot more out of both teams,” Patterson said, looking ahead to Kamloops versus Chase. “If you ask both us coaches, we’d be ecstatic where we sit in the standings, knowing that we have so many new faces in both our lineups.”

attitude and pedigree, I think he has got a good shot at it.” Chyzowski’s goal is to make the jump to the WHL next season, but he’s trying not to look too far ahead. He knows anything can happen. Just look at the year he has had. “It has been pretty wild,” he said. “I’ve had a lot of fun playing hockey in the last year. I’m just looking forward to the future.”

Luke Harrison (middle) of the Kamloops Blazers is known for rough-and-tumble play on the ice but, in the dressing room and on the bus, his teammates say he’s quite a character.
Hotel 540, Terrace Room 540 Victoria Street Kamloops, BC
The Kamloops Blazers took a break from the stress of an 0-2 start to the WHL season to have some fun with KTW and answer a few oddball questions before heading to Vancouver Island to play the Victoria Royals this weekend. We found out Luke Harrison can dance, Cam Reagan is a ladies’ man, Collin Shirley wishes he never stopped playing the piano and diminutive Dan De Palma has a massive appetite. There were several questions with nearly unanimous answers, one them being, “Who is the best-dressed Kamloops Blazer?” “I’d probably say Cam Reagan,” said Collin Shirley, one of many to agree on Reagan’s sharp sense of style. “It can be early Monday morning and he’s dressed to the nines. Some of his shorts look like they came from his billet sister at times, though, but he looks good. We give
him a hard time.” Connor Ingram’s penchant for sweat pants and hoodies landed him the dubious distinction of being voted the worst-dressed Blazer, a badge he wears with honour. “Some of the guys out here dress a little different, with the cardigans and the joggers,” the dressed-for-comfort Blazers’ goaltender said. “I thought about showering and changing, but I went with this instead.” Most of those interviewed agreed Shirley is the funniest Blazer, with special mention to Harrison and Matthew Campese. “Collin Shirley is always cracking jokes,” said Harrison, noting Campese would be his last pick to participate in a shootout. “Shirls is a funny guy. Cam Reagan is always focusing on how well he’s dressed and has no humour at all.” Harrison got the nod in another category, with teammates saying the West Kelowna product is the team’s best dancer. “Luke’s a little shy in front of the camera

but, behind the camera, he’s a lot of fun to be around,” said Blazers’ assistant coach Mike Needham, noting he wouldn’t dare don some of the outfits worn by Reagan. “I don’t usually go in the room when the guys are dancing like that, but the only other guy I’ve seen dance is Jermaine [Loewen]. He likes to get after it.” The team’s resident dancing king was not shy about his behindclosed-doors antics. “The music finds me, feels my souls, and I just move from there,” Harrison said with a laugh. “But, Collin Shirley can move as well. He can whip and nae nae (see Silentó music video).” Ryan Rehill is said to be the Blazer with the biggest appetite, although he disagrees with the assertion. “Jermaine might have a little bigger appetite than I do,” the sizeable blue-liner said. “He crushes a lot of food at pre-game meals. When there’s a buffet, he goes back for seconds and thirds.” Colin (Toledo) Robinson, the Blazers’ athletic trainer, has a strong opinion on the matter. “What blows my mind every time is Dan De Palma, our goalie coach,” Robinson said. “He’s a little rat. He might be 92 pounds but, without a doubt, every time he comes on the road, it’s like he’s never going to see
another meal again.” Along with being named snazziest dresser, Reagan was also deemed to be the team’s most-prominent ladies’ man. “He’s got a flair for the ladies,” Loewen said. “There’s something about him. I’m not a girl but, from what I can tell, he seems like a pretty sweet guy and he lures them.” Not everyone agrees. “Cam Reagan likes to think he is a ladies’ man, but I’d have to go with Collin Shirley,” Harrison said. The Blazers had more to say during the question-and-answer period. See their responses in a video posted online at kamloopsthisweek. com. Click on the ‘Blazers’ tab.
On the Island
The Blazers are looking to get into the win column this weekend against the hometown Royals. Victoria and Kamloops square off tonight and tomorrow in B.C.’s capital. Game time both nights is 7:05 p.m. Forward Matt Revel will return from a shoulder injury to see his first regular-season action of the campaign tonight. Kamloops will be without Deven Sideroff (virus) and Conner McDonald (upper body) in both weekend games.

AL East clinched, Jays search for home-field advantage STEPHEN WHYNO
THE CANADIAN PRESS
BALTIMORE — When the cigar smoke settled from a wild celebration after clinching the American League East, the Toronto Blue Jays were left with more work to do. “We think we have more ahead of us,’’ manager John Gibbons said. “We really do.’’ Gibbons is talking
about the playoffs, where oddsmakers have made the Blue Jays World Series favourites. But, before that, there’s the matter of trying to assure home-field advantage throughout the postseason. With rain delaying the final game of their series against the Baltimore Orioles, the Blue Jays have a magic number of three to
something the Blue Jays want. “We’d love to get it, we’re certainly going to fight for it, but you do balance it out with having to give guys rest,’’ general manager Alex Anthopoulos said. “Home field for us, with the environment we have at that stadium . . . everybody across the league is talking about what an unbelievable environ-
clinch the top seed in the American League. They lead the Kansas City Royals by a game but own the tiebreaker, so, if the teams finish with an even record, the Blue Jays take it. Despite fielding a lineup without any regulars in the second half of a doubleheader Wednesday and then again yesterday to give starters a rest, homefield advantage is still
ment it is, to have a dome, playing conditions, all that, I think it’s a big advantage for us.’’ Rogers Centre was sold out for 20 of the final 21 home games of the regular season and ace David Price remarked on the day he debuted for Toronto that he had never pitched in an atmosphere like it. Tickets for the AL
OPEN HOUSE
Sat., Oct. 3rd 10am - 5pm
Division Series sold out in minutes and fans who have waited 22 years for playoff baseball are expected to create quite the environment. Price won’t get a chance to pitch again until Game 1 of the ALDS on Oct. 8. The Blue Jays opted to hold the left-hander out of his scheduled start in Baltimore and ultimately decided to give him rest rather than having him pitch in the final series of the season at the Tampa Bay Rays. Mark Buehrle is set to pitch today and Marco Estrada tomorrow. Toronto’s starter for Sunday is to be determined, though if home-field advantage
is assured by then, it could be any pitcher on the 40-man roster. Clinching the AL’s top seed would mean facing the winner of the wild-card game in the first round. The New York Yankees will likely host either the Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels or Minnesota Twins in that one-game playoff Tuesday. If the Royals finish with a better record, the Blue Jays would very likely face the Texas Rangers, who are close to wrapping up the AL West. Like the Blue Jays, Texas got an ace in late July in Cole Hamels and went on a roll, winning 36 of 56 games since the trade deadline.

Manager Carrie Broughton said if it wasn’t for Fair’s contributions over the years, the office would not be what it is today. Fair is well respected and loved by staff, volunteers and clients because she never hesitates to lend a hand and can be counted on for caring and compassion, while regularly lending her ear over a cup of tea. Over the decades, Pat has had many

But, it is often a simple act that resonates. For example, Fair went above and beyond for several weeks riding the bus daily with a CNIB client to offer aid if needed or assist him
when he felt anxious. That client has since moved to Vancouver and has a successful career, but he still takes time to return to Kamloops to visit Fair.

The Bible gaining in translation
R
ecently there was a short news article in the community pages about a guest pastor speaking at one of the Lutheran churches in town. His name is Mike Kuhn, and he is a missionary to the Nizaa people of Galim, Cameroon. One of the goals of his mission is overseeing the translation of the Bible into the Nizaa language. Nizaa is a small language with an estimated 10,000 speakers. So, why would someone take their family to the other side of the world to translate the Bible into an obscure African language? The Bible is the most translated book in the world. As of last November, the Bible had been fully translated into 531 languages, with partial translations

into an additional 2,833 languages. Although various churches undertake this work, the primary organization in Bible translation is Wycliffe Bible Translators of Orlando, Fla. Their name comes from John Wycliffe, who translated the Vulgate (Latin) Bible into Middle English in 1383. The people at Wycliffe have a goal to translate the Bible into every spoken language in the world by 2025. Their website says that
they still have 1,900 to go — representing about 180 million people. I personally witnessed one of the Wycliffe projects come to fruition in Quesnel in 2002. A Wycliffe translator had spent 25 years in Fort St. James, learning the Carrier (Dakelh) language, and translating the books of the Bible into that language. Carrier is an Athapaskan language, related to Chilcotin and Sekani in B.C., but also Navaho, Hoopa and Apache in the southwestern U.S. There are probably less than 200 people who can speak it. When the project was completed, native speaker Laura Boyd read the Christmas story aloud for the first time at a public meeting in the Quesnel Native Friendship Centre. The Carrier elders

A pidgin language is one that is usually based on a dominant language (in this case English) with a mishmash of other words added in to make it intelligible to people from a wide variety of language traditions. In the early years of traders arriving in Hawaii from all over the world, pidgin made it possible for dock workers and sailors to communicate with one another. Here is John 3:16-18 in Hawaiian pidgin: “God wen go so plenny love an aloha fo da peopo inside da world, dat he wen send me, his one an ony Boy, so dat everybody dat trus me no get cut off from

Bridle your anger, trash your wrath, cool your pipes — it only makes things worse.” “Before long the crooks will be bankrupt; God-investors will soon own the store.” The original languages of the Bible — Hebrew, Greek and some Aramaic — were written for those who understood those languages.

Obituaries & In Memoriam ELSIE GIOVANNA FAVALI (nee COMAZZETTO) On Sunday, September 27, a sunny Kamloops afternoon, Elsie left us to be reunited with her husband Frank who predeceased her in 1994 and her eldest daughter Linda in 2010. Her family was with her at the time of her passing. She is survived by her children Marlene (Phil) Potter of Coquitlam, Jane (Mike) Wolfram of Kamloops and Glen (Dawn) Favali of Surrey. Left to cherish the memory of their beloved “Noni” are her grandchildren Tanya (Jason) Collins, Michelle (Kent) Schechtel, Kristopher (Robin Russell) Potter, Geoffrey (Kaela Brekelsman) Potter, Joshua Wolfram, Emma Wolfram, Grayden (Jenn) Favali and her great-grandchildren Stella and Roarke Schechtel, Rocco Favali and Chase and Michael Russell. Also mourning her loss are her siblings Bruno Comazzetto, Enes (Henry) Christianson, Reno (Stella) Comazzetto, Emma Durigon, her in-laws Jenny Comazzetto, Helen Comazzetto, Majorie Favali and her many nieces and nephews. Elsie was born on April 30, 1928 in Royal Inland Hospital, one of the 10 Comazzetto children. She was proud to say she was born, raised and spent her life in Kamloops. The last 56 years she resided at her Valleyview home. Her home and yard were a reflection of her love of gardening and homemaking. She was an amazing cook and baker. She always welcomed visits from family and friends and there was always a plate of goodies to share. Busy raising four children, Elsie still found time to do charitable work, notably with St. Ann‘s Academy Auxillary, The Ladies of the Royal Purple and The Little Flower Society. She was a loving wife, a caring mother and a beloved Noni to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. These qualities are reflected in the closeness of her family. The family would like to thank Dr. Bantock as well as the staff at Royal Inland Hospital for their support and care. Prayers will be recited at Holy Family Parish, 2797 Sunset Drive at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, October 5th. The Reverend Father Fred Weisbeck will celebrate the Funeral Mass on Tuesday, October 6th at 11:00 a.m. Should friends desire, donations in memory of Elsie may be made to The Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, 311 Columbia Street, Kamloops B.C. V2C 2T1 would be appreciated.
EMMA RUTH WATSON (nee ABEL) 1912 – 2015
We sadly announce the passing of our mother, Emma Ruth Watson on September 29, 2015. She was born in Aberdeen, Saskatchewan. She was predeceased by her husband Thomas Percy Watson in 1965. Emma is survived by daughters Shirley (Dennis) Lay of Youbou, BC and Audrey (Adrian) Greffard of Kamloops, BC, granddaughters Yvonne Lay (Earl) of N. Vancouver, BC and Kathy Lay ( Michael) of Nanaimo, BC, grandsons Dale (Deanna) Greffard, Clint (Crystal) Greffard, great-granddaughters Kate and Jessica Greffard of Kamloops, BC. She is also survived by sisters Martha Molder of Cambridge Ontario, Wanda Trost and Eva Mason of Saskatoon, SK, Dorothy Abel of Edmonton, AB and Berna Dolan of Coquitlam, BC, brothers Wesley Abel of Calgary, AB and Murray Abel of Calmar, AB as well as many nieces and nephews, extended family and friends. Emma was predeceased by her brothers Oscar, Martin, Paul, Louis, Gordon, Roy and Clifford.

FREDERICK VALENTINE COLVILLE We are sad to announce that Frederick Valentine Colville passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 27, 2015. He was born in Biggar, Saskatchewan on December 23, 1944, the youngest child of George and Lily Colville. In 1968, he moved from Prince George to Kamloops, where Glenda was in nurses training. He married the love of his life on May 23, 1970 and they remained devoted to each other. They moved to Savona in 1976 to raise their family of two boys, an Irish setter and several orange cats. He was a sheet metal worker in the Kamloops area for 40+ years and took great pride in his work. He enjoyed watching his sons play sports. He loved the outdoors, fishing, hunting and camping with his family whenever they could get away. He bowled in several leagues and was a member of the North Kamloops “Interiors” team several times during the 70’s and 80’s. Fred is survived by Glenda, his wife of 45 years, son Charles (Susan), daughter-in-law Reshawn, grandchildren Nicola, Gavin, Alexa and Mya, brothers Charles (Janet), Robert (Fern), Albert (Fran) and Edward (Faye); sister-in-law Betty Koeneman, Glenda’s family: John (Donna) Hickling, Doris McCusker and Jane Hickling, as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins. Fred was predeceased by his son Neal, sister Dorothy Kozloski, his parents and brother-in-law Dave Hickling.
We will cherish our memories! The family wishes to express our deepest appreciation to the doctors and staff in RIH Emergency, ICU, 4 North and 6 South for their extreme efforts to help Fred and his family during this very difficult time. Should friends desire, donations to the RIH Foundation or the charity of your choice would be appreciated in memory of Fred. Everyone is welcome to attend a Graveside Service at the Savona Cemetery on Saturday, October 3, 2015 at 2:30 pm with the Reverend Isabel Healy-Morrow officiating. We will be gathering at the Savona Community Hall afterwards for a time of reminiscing and refreshments.

Q: How big should I make my own urn? A: Standard urns (inside dimensions) are about 200 cubic inches. That’s about 5 by 5 by 8 inches. Most of the time that’s big enough, but you might want to make it a bit bigger (see last week’s column about bone mass). Drop by/call us; we’d be glad to take a look.

A Vanished Friend Anders Lim
Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name. “Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.” But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!” And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!

NATIONAL NEWS MASS SHOOTING
13 dead, 20 hurt in Oregon shooting JEFF BARNARD
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ROSEBURG, Ore. — A gunman opened fire at an Oregon community college yesterday, killing at least 13 people and wounding 20, authorities said. The shooting happened at Umpqua Community College (UCC) in Roseburg, about 180 miles south of Portland. The local fire district advised people via Twitter to stay away from the school.
State police Lt. Bill Fugate told KATU-TV seven to 10 people were dead and at least 20 others hurt. A photographer for the Roseburg News-Review newspaper said he saw people being loaded into multiple ambulances and taken to the local hospital. Andrea Zielinski, a spokeswoman for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, told The Associated Press: “There’s no more threat.’’ Authorities said the suspect, a 20-year-old man,
died following an exchange of gunfire with police. It’s unclear whether he took his own life or was killed by an officer’s bullet. Umpqua Community College has about 3,000 students. Its website was down following the shooting and a phone message left at the college was not immediately returned. Neither state police nor the sheriff’s office immediately returned calls from The Associated Press seeking details. The sheriff’s office
reported on Twitter it received a call about the shooting at 10:38 a.m. Students and faculty members were being bused to the county fairgrounds, the sheriff’s office said. “We locked our door and I went out to lock up the restrooms and could hear four shots from the front of campus,’’ UCC Foundation executive director Dennis O’Neill told the NewsReview. Mercy Medical Center in Roseburg reported it had received nine patients from
the shooting, with more on the way. The White House said President Barack Obama was briefed on the situation by his Homeland Security Adviser, Lisa Monaco. He was to continue receiving updates throughout the day. Former UCC president Joe Olson, who retired in June after four years, said the school had no formal security staff, just one officer on a shift. One of the biggest debates on campus last year was whether to post armed
security officers on campus to respond to a shooting. “I suspect this is going to start a discussion across the country about how community colleges prepare themselves for events like this,’’ Olson said. The rural town of Roseburg lies west of the Cascade Mountains in an area where the timber industry has struggled. In recent years, officials have tried to promote the region as a tourist destination for vineyards and outdoor activities.
Washouts, home damages reported in New Brunswick MELANIE PATTEN KEVIN BISSETT
THE CANADIAN PRESS
FREDRICTON — Heavy rainfall that dumped more than 160 millimetres on parts of New Brunswick is being blamed for widespread property damage and the death of one man. The province’s Emergency Measures Organization said the downpour Wednesday and early yesterday damaged bridges, highways and guardrails across the province. “We’re dealing with road closures . . . washouts and I’ve got a few bridge washouts as well, so we are looking at significant damage to road infrastructure,’’ said spokesman Paul Bradley. The RCMP say a 51-year-old man in Berwick, N.B., died after a retaining wall collapsed on him as he was connecting a sump pump at his home. The man has not been identified. RCMP said they are not investigating as the death is considered accidental. Six duck hunters were also rescued from a small island on Grand Lake after their boat started to sink Wednesday night. In Welsford, about 70 kilometres south of Fredericton, some roads were covered in water and on Highway 101 in Wirral large slabs of asphalt were torn from the roadbed and ended up among some trees more than 10 metres away. Addison Sweet of nearby Hoyt said the damage in his community was overwhelming. “It looks like a war zone. It looks like the military bombed it in places,’’ he said. “There are 50 foot sections of road completely gone, culverts gone, and brooks running wide open.’’ Some roads are impassable, he said. “You’re not going to get through some for a few days,’’ he said. Bradley said some people in Hoyt had voluntarily left their homes and 14 families in Grand Bay-Westfield were staying with family and friends. A reception centre was also opened in Oromocto for anyone who had been forced from their homes.

Ghomeshi enters not-guilty pleas LIAM CASEY
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Disgraced former broadcaster Jian Ghomeshi pleaded not guilty yesterday to five charges, including four counts of sexual assault and one count of overcoming resistance by choking. The former host of CBC Radio’s cultural affairs show Q did not speak with reporters as he walked into the court-
house in downtown Toronto, where he was arraigned during a court appearance. Ghomeshi, wearing a dark suit and tie, spoke only two words in court, “not guilty,’’ when asked how he pleaded. He had to repeat that because he wasn’t speaking into a microphone. Judge William Horkins then cleared the public and media from the courtroom to deal with a motion. Ghomeshi’s trial begins
Feb. 1, 2016 and will be before a judge alone. The 48-year-old was originally charged with seven counts of sexual assault and one count of overcoming resistance by choking, but the Crown withdrew two sexual assault charges in May because they said there was no reasonable prospect of conviction. A lawyer for Trailer Park Boys actress Lucy Decoutere, one of the women involved
in the case before the courts, said the allegations against Ghomeshi have triggered an important national conversation about intimate violence. “While this case works its way through the justice system, countless assault survivors are privately reclaiming agency over their lives, telling their stories, and finally beginning to trust that people will believe them,’’ said Gillian Hnatiw.

NATIONAL NEWS PIPELINE BATTLE COULD SET TONE FOR FUTURE GOVERNMENT, ABORIGINAL RELATIONS yesterday, Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, said Stephen Harper’s government has demonized First Nations over the issue of resource development. The federal government declared many of the large projects of national interest and ignored First Nations concerns, he said. “I absolutely pray that we elect a national government that has a better national vision for this country, that’s more inclusive and more respectful of what the indigenous peoples are attempting to tell this country.’’ Haida Nation council president Peter Lantin said the project’s approval jeopardizes his community’s years of work to build a relationship with the federal government. Lantin said the environmental assessment by a federal review panel didn’t look at Northern Gateway’s potential effects on the region. “Haida Gwaii is a
THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — First Nations that have launched a court fight to block the Northern Gateway pipeline project say the challenges will determine whether their relationship with the next federal government is one of collaboration or confrontation. Eight aboriginal bands, four environmental groups and a labour union are in the Federal Court of Appeal in Vancouver, trying to overturn the government’s approval of the $7-billion plan to ship diluted bitumen from Alberta’s oilsands to British Columbia’s coast. The government placed 209 conditions recommended by the National Energy Board on the construction of the pipeline, including development of a marine-mammal protection plan, a caribouhabitat restoration plan and enhanced marinespill modelling.

The nation conducted extensive studies on the potential impacts to the land, he added. “We’re asking the court to side with us,’’ he said. “Under no circumstances will Enbridge’s Northern Gateway project be allowed in Nak’azdli territory.’’ A Northern Gateway spokesman has said the review was among the most exhaustive in Canadian history, spanning 180 days of hearings. Canada’s Attorney General, Northern Gateway Pipelines Limited Partnership and the National Energy Board are named as respondents to the challenges.

A video of all three bears has been posted on the service’s Facebook site showing them moving and eating, apparently without any injuries. The Kermode is a rare subspecies of the black bear; a recessive gene gives some of the animals a white coat though they are not albino or related to the polar bear. The Kermode or so-called spirit bear is B.C.’s provincial mammal and is found on the central and north coast.
SMITHERS — The white Kermode bear is usually a rare sight in B.C., but a motorist on Highway 37 in the province’s northwest couldn’t avoid hitting the animal. A caller to the B.C. Conservation Officer Service hotline reported a vehicle struck a Kermode near Smithers and it wasn’t possible to determine the bear’s condition. The conservation service sent an officer to the area and a mother bear

ATB Financial predicts recession for Alberta this year, modest growth in 2016 THE CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — Alberta’s economy is likely going to get worse before it gets better, says the chief economist of regional financial services group ATB Financial. “It is probably going to be another eight to 12 months of pretty tough sledding for Albertans,’’ Todd Hirsch said during a news conference announcing the bank’s fourth-quarter outlook. The latest outlook sees Alberta in a recession for 2015 with a 0.7 per cent contraction of real GDP, a worse view than in early July when the bank expected growth of 0.4 per cent for the year. That compares with real GDP growth of 4.4 per cent in 2014, when oil and gas prices were much higher. “Unfortunately, the economic situation in
before improving to 5.7 per cent next year. “We are going to see a higher level of unemployment and that does present a lot of challenges for a lot of Albertans and there is going to be some hardship,’’ Hirsch said. The bank expects the North American benchmark price for oil to trade around US$45 to US$50 a barrel for the rest of 2015, rising moderately to between US$55 to US$60 by mid-to-late 2016. Indicators outside the oil and gas industry have shown more stability, with the bank saying residential construction was solid, retail and wholesale trade has stabilized and manufacturing has levelled off. But, the Calgary Real Estate Board said yesterday its unadjusted benchmark housing price dropped 0.26
per cent in September compared to last year. It blamed rising unemployment and persistent weakness in the local economy for the impact on housing demand. The ATB report says agriculture, Alberta’s second-largest sector, had disappointing crop production this year due to drought in some parts of the province, while forestry remains in good shape thanks to strong lumber prices. For the economy to recover, Hirsch said oil prices would need to rebound to around US$60 a barrel, labour costs would have to rebalance and sectors outside the energy industry such as agriculture, forestry and tourism need to see strong performances. As well, the Canadian dollar needs to stay low to help exporters.

Alberta has darkened from our last forecast,’’ Hirsch said. ATB says the drop in oil prices is the “single reason’’ for the economic challenges as prices have fallen to about US$45 a barrel at present from more than US$100 in the summer of 2014. Prices were hovering around US$60 when ATB made its last forecast in July. Hirsch expects the economy to get out of its slump in the second half of 2016 and post modest growth of 1.4 per cent for the year. Meanwhile, over the fall and into the new year could be the “roughest patch’’ for Albertans and the province’s economy as severance packages and savings run out. ATB is predicting the unemployment rate will rise to 5.9 per cent this year from 4.7 per cent last year

TICKETS ON SALE NOW! SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2015
Specialty French vino released tomorrow why B.C. Liquor Stores releases the year’s vintage, as selected by Philip, all at once each year — which is happening on Saturday in the stores across the province, including at the Kamloops Columbia Place Signature B.C. Liquor Store. Philip has seen a lot when it comes to wine connoisseurs trying to get their hands on the vino. It’s not unusual for customers to arrive at stores early on the day of the release but the 2009 release in 2012 was particularly noteworthy for Philip. “It was Thursday at 4 p.m. and people were starting to line up,” she said, noting sales didn’t begin
until Saturday. Coffee and donuts were put out the following day, she said, but she couldn’t help but wonder “what are you going to do for two days on the sidewalk?” It’s Philip’s seventh annual release of Bordeaux. This year about 2,000 12-bottle cases will be released across the province, with bottles ranging in prices from $28 to $2,800. Kamloops will have a “pretty small selection” — about 320 bottles Philip said — and she doubts Columbia Place will be lined up like those expected on Cambie Street in Vancouver. “They’ll have the widest selection,” Philip said.
She does, however, expect Bordeaux to sell out of B.C. Liquor Stores by the end of the weekend. “Demand is very high,” she said. For those new to the wine, Philip said the $28 bottle will do and recommends asking product consultants at the store, who do “extensive training.” “We taste them all,” Philip said. Bordeauxs are mostly tannic red wines with dark fruit flavours but Philip said a small amount of dry white wines are also available from the region. “That’s kind of an insider tip,” she said. Tomorrow, the store, at 600-1210 Summit Dr., is open 9:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.

or Barbara Philip, Saturday’s Bordeaux release has been three years in the making. The European wines manager for B.C. Liquor Stores travelled to the southwest region of France in 2012 to pick out the best of the year. “Bordeaux is probably the most famous wine in the world,” Philip told KTW. “It’s been around for hundreds of years. It’s had a great reputation. There’s high demand for these wines.” It also comes in limited quantity, which is

for one of the debates at places like Irish pub The Heart and Crown and microbrewery The 3 Brewers. I hosted a couple myself, though one ended with people falling asleep and the other, with my grandma and cousin coming over, didn’t exactly put the “party� in “viewing party.� Frankly, the stigma that talking politics at the dinner table is rude needs to be quashed and I think viewing parties have been a missed opportunity locally. Consider, again, getting together at a pub for a sports game — meeting a buddy or two for the festivities, cheering goals, criticizing calls and discussing the game. It means engaging in the process, encouraging others to do so and, quite possibly, learning a thing or two — a little of everything we could use at the political level. (Cough, youth voter turnout, cough.) And, it’s not just democracy that prevails. Bars could cash in. Think of the drink specials: The Conservative Craft: a low-taxed beer shipped West through twinning of the Trans Mountain pipeline. (Disclaimer: Only available to a select number of refugees.)

with a babysitter for the night. (Disclaimer: You only learn the cost when the bill arrives.) The Liberal Lager: an amber ale served with a joint, sure to bring a night of real change. (Disclaimer: Hair in mirror not as it appears while intoxicated.) The Green Grapes: an organic wine that’s been in the cupboard a while. (Disclaimer: You might feel a bit excluded while drinking it.) There’s all sorts of fun that could be had to get people engaged — and, there’s still time, with the upcoming local candidates’ forum on Oct. 14 and election day on Oct. 19. Buzzfeed’s Official 2015 Federal Election Drinking Game is a good place to start. Taking a swig every time Thomas Mulcair tries to smile somehow makes the idiocities of these types of events and the long campaign a little easier to handle. “This is the only way you’ll survive it,� reads the subhead by Buzzfeed. For me, it’s taking a seat, watching the blows and guessing who’ll go deep at a local watering hole.

M
y husband and I are big walkers and it sure comes in handy when exploring Paris. Brent even downloaded Pacer, an iPhone app, that detects our steps, distances and calories burned, a definite perk that helps justify our intake of croissants. A Paris Museum Pass opens the door to 50 venues. We look over the choices, put our highlighter to work and, over the next five days, tromp to our favourites. If you have the energy, feel free to lace up your sneakers and come along.
DAY 1
From our Ile St. Louis homebase, we’re a metro ride away from the trendy Champs-Elysees. Arc de Triomphe, built in 1806 to commemorate Napoléon Boneparte’s
victorious battles, anchors one end and, from its panorama rooftop, we can spot Place de la Concorde that sprawls out at the other. A 3,200-year-old Egyptian obelisk rises from this largest public square in Paris (over 23 acres) and nearby Musée de l’Orangerie Museum provides us with a peek at Monet, Cezanne and Renoir masterpieces. Just beyond is Jardin Des Tuileries, where we relax before trekking home.
DAY 2
We meld with the masses at the gothic marvel of Notre Dame and spiral up its tower to enjoy another view-boasting rooftop. Next is the popular Louvre, where great halls and galleries showcase the world’s largest art collection. It is overwhelming, but truly a tribute to the arts. On the other side of the Seine and, in contrast to this classic, is the light and airy Musee d’Orsay, once a railway station, now a fabulous depository and home to a superb display

of impressionist and postimpressionist paintings. By day’s end, we’re amazed and museumdazed.
DAY 3
From our hotel, it’s a short jaunt to Ste Chapelle, a showy double-decker cathedral built in 1239 to house the treasures of King Louis IX. If time allows, you can also pop into its neighbour, the Justice Institute. En route to our next stop, we pass through the Latin Quarter, a quaint bohemian neighbourhood of winding streets, bistros and boutiques — perfect for lunching or munching. Refuelled, we head to
the Rodin, a garden museum that showcases this sculptor’s famous works like The Thinker. It’s impossible to miss our final attraction. The glittering gold dome of Eglise du Dome Church hovers like a beacon over Rodin’s roses. The insides shimmer with carvings, etchings, gold leaf. It’s no surprise Napoleon feels right at rest here.
DAY 4
First stop is Centre Pompidou in the Bourbourg area, touted by locals as being the cultural pulse of the city. In contrast to the classics, this venue is ultra modern and high-tech. We zero in on the upper floors, where Musée National d’Art Moderne boasts thousands of 20thcentury works by artists like Picasso, Matisse and Kadinsky. Then, it’s off to SacreCoeur, the white-domed basilica, that stands proudly on Montmartre, Paris’s highest hill. Although some quad

power is required when climbing the heavenbound stairs, it’s worth the workout. Unlike Gothic architecture, this Byzantineinspired gem sparkles with golden mosaics, bronze doors and stained-glass. Adjacent is a cobblestone-street of shops and schlock and not too far away is our evening treat, a show at Moulin Rouge. Since 1889, this venue has been entertaining audiences with its stupendous shows and gorgeous girls. And, from behind the neon-glowing windmill, we enjoy Feerie, a flawless production featuring eighty talented artists.
DAY 5
We take a break, save some tread on our sneakers and check out the sights by both bus and boat. The bright green L’Open Tour double-decker offers us a top-notch view and history lesson while motoring by 19 famous attractions. And, during a 60-minute Bateaux Parisiens cruise, we coast by others that

hug up to the Seine — one, of course, being the Eiffel Tower. A visit wouldn’t be complete without ascending this iconic monument that towers 300 lofty metres (1,000 feet) over Champ de Mars Park. Sure, we could glide up via elevator, but do we? Of course not. It’s all about the stairs for us this visit. And, after plodding up the 704 that are integrated into this skeletal structure, we enjoy one last Paris panorama. So, how did you do? Were you able to keep up? If so, over this five-day stint, you walked 84,000 steps and 58 kilometres. Now, that’s worth a croissant or two.

Mayan more than beaches
A
fter an exhilarating and exhausting ride along the sacbe, an ancient Maya road system, we arrived at one of Coba’s stone courtyards. Catching our breath in the humid jungle, we appreciated the shade of a tree towering well above the tumultuous green jungle. Our guide spoke up. “See that tree? For the Maya, a Ceiba is the tree of life, knowledge, good and evil. Branching out at right angles, it embodies the Mayan cross, a compass for daily native life, pointing the way to mystic realms.” As we reflected on this thought and watched the play of light and shadows from the tree, the lesson turned to a darker aspect of ancient Mayan life. Our guide described the deadly “Poc ta Poc.” This challenging game was played with a heavy ball untouched by hands or feet and maneuvered through rings high on the walls. To this day, scholars continue to disagree whether the winners or losers were offered as human sacrifices. Farther along the sacbe, we catch sight of a well-preserved pyramid structure. Typically found in important Mayan cities, these ancient observatories had incredible mathematicians who calculated precise astronomical predictions and developed extraordinarily accurate calendars. Did you know the
KATE ASHBY CRUISIN’FROM KAMLOOPS Mayans recognized birds as their gods’ intermediaries? So, at the base of the Great Pyramid Nohoch Mul, our guide pointed and said, “For you to approach the heavens, climb upward!” So, we did. After scaling 120 narrow slippery steps, we perched atop Yucatan’s highest pyramid in the shade of the stone temple. Carved above the doorway, a god represented the sky bearer and god of the bees, “Ah Mucen Cab” (he who watches over the honey). Gazing out at the surrounding lakes and prodigious jungle, we tried to imagine how this wild jungle landscape once supported more than 40,000 people. Cancun and the Mayan Riviera may be known as a beach holiday or cruise destination, but there’s so much more to do here than soak up the sun and enjoy a few frozen drinks. One of our favorite activities is a visit to the local Mayan ruins, remnants of a sophisticated civilization that once lived throughout Mexico and Central America. To best enjoy the
ruins without feeling like part of a crowd, you should visit them either early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Although there are many Mayan sites to explore, here are the three most famous in this area:
Chichén Itzá
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Chichén Itzá is the best restored and most visited of the Yucatán Maya archaeological sites. The most impressive structure at Chichén Itzá, the 25-metre-tall El Castillo pyramid, is a stone representation of the Maya calendar and an important pilgrimage destination during the spring and autumn equinoxes, when the shadow of a serpent appears to ascend and descend the staircase; a phenomenon that’s recreated nightly at the sound-and-light show.
Tulum Ruins
Beach lovers will enjoy exploring the Tulum Ruins, where you can split your time between the ruins and the beach. The ancient walls built around the edge of the archaeological site once served as a fortress protecting the ancient city’s ruling class and the name Tulum translates to “wall” in Yucatec Maya. Situated on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Caribbean, this ancient lookout post has become one of the Yucatán Peninsula’s most iconic images. Just a few steps from the temple, a staircase leads down to the beach, where
you can sunbathe and swim in the turquoise cove. The site’s main structure, El Castillo (the Castle), was used as an ancient lighthouse. Two small windows at the top allowed sailors to navigate the ocean reef at dusk. If the captain could see daylight through both windows, it meant they were on the correct course.
Cobá Ruins
From Tulum, it’s a short trip inland to visit the Cobá Ruins. Climb to the top of the tallest Mayan pyramid on the Yucatán Peninsula, the Great Pyramid Nohoch Mul, for spectacular views overlooking the jungle canopy. The ruins at Cobá are spread out over several kilometres and more closely resemble the ruins at Tikal in neighbouring Guatemala than any of the other Yucatán Maya archaeological sites. Pedi-taxis are on hand to shuttle visitors throughout the site and well-marked paths make it easy to explore the ruins on foot, though you’ll likely work up a sweat. Cool off with a stop at one of the Yucatán Peninsula’s famous cenotes, or underwater sinkholes.

Meet newcomers to the downtown . . . Barnacle Records
Barnacle Records has been open at 290 Third Ave. for two months and is already expanding its stock. Owners Jessie Kobylanski and Ronan McGraph opened the record store at the former Electrictree Yarns location to bring a creative and alternative music-buying experience to Kamloops, including a living-room vibe and listening lounge. “Things have been wonderful, people are really excited to have a music store in town again and the response from people has been excellent,” said Kobylanski. They aim to have something for everyone, from classic rock, indie and pop selections to electronica and more obscure experimental records, in addition to contemporary cassettes. They’ve been filling their shelves, bringing in vinyl care products and cartridges and new and used turntables. They launched a bi-monthly event in partnership with the Kamloops Art Gallery last week, where they bring in a portable art trailer full of supplies and invite guests to create art or zines. It’s run by art gallery volunteers and geared toward youth, but everyone is welcome. “We’re very into wanting to have events and community stuff in our store and participate with other businesses downtown,” Kobylanski said. “We live downtown and we have for years and we love it, so we’re very happy to live a few blocks from where we work. We love it. For updates on happenings at Barnacle Records, go online to its Facebook page, which is very active.
The Cat Hospital
Sandy Jamieson opened The Cat Hospital on Battle Street in August after doing several years of veterinary locum work throughout the province. He closed his last cat hospital seven years ago intending to retire, but he returned to the field after taking only four months off. He was assisting at a friend’s clinic when he decided it wasn’t time to end his career. “When I went in the exam room after having four months off, I just lit up like a Christmas tree. It was so invigorating for me to be in that environment, where I can look at cats and help them,” he said. Jamieson spent time in several clinics around B.C. before deciding to open his own business again in Kamloops. The Cat Hospital is the lone cat-only clinic in the city. It celebrated its grand opening on Sept. 16. “There are a lot of cats in Kamloops and there isn’t another cat hospital around. It seems as though people in Kamloops are willing to try a cat hospital and see what it’s like,” Jamieson said. “The environment I’ve created here is specifically a relaxing environment so, when people come in, they just feel relaxed and, when they feel relaxed, their cat feels relaxed. Cats need that because they don’t like change.” Jamieson recommends cats have a yearly checkup because their symptoms aren’t always obvious.

Perplexed Puzzles
Katie McArthur said the escape-room business has been welcomed by Kamloops. Perplexed Puzzles opened at 290 Lansdowne St. in July after McArthur and friends spent two months designing, building and testing puzzles to create their own. Her first escape room experience was in Winnipeg, where she had to stop a nuclear meltdown. The first puzzle they opened at Perplexed was Margaret’s Estate, one-room challenge inspired by McArthur’s late aunt and designed for four players. Soon after opening, they introduced Bob’s Bunker, which is a much more challenging game with multiple rooms, designed for six players. For Halloween, they are redesigning Bob’s Bunker and offering two-days of fright on Oct. 30 and Oct. 31. McArthur had one thing to say about it: “Be prepared to be scared.” The puzzles will be different, so those who have tried Bob’s Bunker will have a new experience. McArthur planned to have walk-in opportunities for customers, but it’s been so busy that booking ahead is really the best way to make sure you get in. You must pre-book for the Halloween challenge. “It’s been steadier than anticipated, which is awesome,” McArthur said. “It’s all been word of mouth, so I think that is kind of crazy.” They planned to close for the winter and introduce new puzzles in the new year, but property management is taking over their building, so they will be reconsidering the future when they have to leave their current location at the end of November.

I N THE HEART OF KAMLOOP S
808 and Bench co-owner Ashley Franco is seeing a renewed interest in art downtown.
808 & Bench
808 & Bench opened at 274 Victoria St. in August. The apparel boutique and art supplies store carries its custom clothing line Keep6 apparel and supplies geared towards street art. It prints custom T-shirts, custom stickers, car decals and vehicle wraps. Co-owner Ashley Franco said the store was meant to fill a gap in Kamloops, as there’s nothing like it in town. They weren’t sure what the response would be, but so far, so good, she said. “We kind of took a different approach to it and, so far, we’ve been getting really positive feedback,” she said. “We’re trying to educate people more on the art of street art because everyone always thinks graffiti and automatically thinks vandals, but there are really good murals.” For business owners who are interested in incorporating custom art into their business, the shop has a program that connects them with artists who can paint indoor or outdoor murals. 808 & Bench is looking to get involved with community events and teach street art, as well. As for the downtown location, it’s home sweet home. “Love it,” said Franco. “We’ve got the record store next to us, the tattoo shop a few doors down — it’s starting to become a really artsy street.”

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
