Alison Word and her family moved to Kamloops from Portland, Ore., two weeks ago. Getting acquainted with the new hometown included a weekend visit to the Big Little Science Centre, which was featuring a microscopic look at pond creatures (a sample of what water bugs look like up close can be seen in bottom right of photo). The science centre, at 655 Holt St. on the North Shore, is open Tuesdays to Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Magnetism is the theme this Saturday. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW
Talking the Trans-Pacific Partnership ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops’ Conservative candidate is calling it a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” but other candidates vying to become the next MP for the riding say there are still too many questions surrounding the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement. The agreement between 12 countries — including Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, the U.S. and Mexico — was announced in Atlanta yesterday, though it must still be ratified by each participating country. If passed, the TPP would see tariffs on
a variety of Canadian exports reduced or eliminated over the next 15 years. The countries involved account for roughly 40 per cent of the world’s gross domestic product. Conservative candidate Cathy McLeod called the deal a “win” for Canada, pointing to lowered tariffs on beef and forest products as two benefits for the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo riding. “It’s going to help grow every sector of our economy,” she said. “This is a 12-nation market and 800-million consumers.” But, NDP candidate Bill Sundhu said he remains skeptical of the agreement, due to the secrecy surrounding much of
the negotiation process, and is concerned about the deal’s effects on Canada’s manufacturing sector. “Stephen Harper came to office promising transparency and openness and, for the last five years, we’ve had a secret negotiation process. Canadians don’t know what’s in there,” he said. NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair has said he will “not be bound” by TPP if his party forms government, a pledge Sundhu repeated. “If we think it’s bad for Canada and puts many jobs or economic sectors of our economy at risk, then we will not be bound by it,” he said.

CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A 24-year-old man accused of murdering his girlfriend testified yesterday he took large doses of crystal meth before awakening on a grassy area to find CJ Fowler dead on the ground. Damien Taylor testified in his own defence in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops. He is charged with second-degree murder in connection to the death of 16-year-old Fowler on Dec. 5, 2012. A camera at Royal Inland Hospital captured the two leaving together that morning and a nurse earlier testified he saw them arguing briefly as they left, hours before Fowler was found dead blocks from the hospital, in the Guerin Creek area. Fowler went to the hospital complaining of symptoms from crystal-meth use. It was there an emergency doctor told the couple the 16-yearold girl was pregnant, news the doctor testified appeared welcome. During his testimony, Taylor said the week before Fowler’s death was a blur of drug use, including crystal meth, cocaine and heroin. The pair smoked crystal meth and used cocaine en route to Kamloops from Terrace on the Greyhound bus. Once in Kamloops, Taylor said, he “hustled” — selling and using drugs on the streets. Taylor testified he also smoked a large quantity of crystal meth outside the hospital, at about 3 a.m. on Dec. 5. At 1 p.m. that day, Fowler was found dead in a grassy area of Guerin Creek by dog walkers.

WELCOME TO FINISHED COLUMBIA
The $4.8-million Columbia Street widening project between Third and Sixth avenues is now almost complete. Crews were finishing the final part of the project yesterday — closing left-turn access to Second Avenue from Columbia. All traffic signals have been installed and are now operational and all left-turn bays are open. Motorists should expect periodic lane closures along the Columbia Street corridor as crews do final deficiency checks. Workers will also be completing landscaping and sign installation during the week.
28 on ballot in Tk’emlups election FIRST NEW TIB CHIEF TO BE CHOSEN SINCE 2003 VOTE Members of the Tk’emlups Indian band will go to the polls next month to elect a new council — and a new chief is guaranteed with the decision of Shane Gottfriedson to not seek re-election. Gottfriedson was elected in June as B.C. regional chief for the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) and said when he announced his AFN candidacy he would not be seeking a fifth term. Seeking to succeed Gottfriedson as chief of the TIB are: • George Evan Casimir • Frank Paul • Fred (Sups) Seymour • James (Jimmy) Thomas. There are 24 people vying for the seven council seats up for grabs:
• Marie Baptiste • Thomas William Blank • Evelyn Camille • Howard Campbell • Eagle Casimir • James G.T. Casimir • Rosanne Joan Casimir • Carrie Dawn Dan • Charles Dumont • Barbara Stewart • Chad Gottfriedson • Garry Gottfriedson • Ted (Junior) Gottfriedson • Katy Gottfriedson • Edward Gerald Jensen • Janet (Jeanette) Jules • Richard Jules • Robert Lewis Jules • Sonny Joseph Leonard • Vance (Vinnie) Paul • Jeffrey McNeil-Seymour • Nacoma George • Myron Thomas
• Viola (Ola) Ann Thomas The election will be held on Saturday, Nov. 14, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., at Moccasin Square Gardens, 357-345 Chief Alex Thomas Way. An advance poll will be held at the same place during the same hours on Saturday, Nov. 7 — the same day City of Kamloops voters go to the polls on the referendum question asking if they wish to grant approval for the city to borrow up to $49 million toward a proposed $91-million performingarts centre in the downtown core. According to government data as of March 2011, the Tk’emlups Indian band has a population of 1,058; 537 of whom live on the reserve and 521 of whom live off the reserve. The TIB covers an area of 13,355 hectares (33,000 acres).

Two men accused of severely injuring an RCMP officer near Kamloops last summer have been ordered to stand trial in B.C. Supreme Court. Jerry Lee Lamar and Leon Francis Leclerc were each charged with one count of attempting to wound, maim or disfigure RCMP Const. Paul Koester following an incident in Pritchard on July 5, 2014. Lamar is facing an additional count of refusing to provide a breath sample. Lamar, from Pritchard, and Leclerc, from Falkland, were ordered to stand trial following a preliminary inquiry in Kamloops provincial court, the details of which are protected by a publication ban. A trial date is expected to be set on Nov. 9. Neither Lamar nor Leclerc are in custody. Koester is the Mountie who shot and killed 22-yearold Ian Bush during an altercation in the RCMP detachment in Houston, the small town near Smithers. Koester was cleared in the subsequent investigation and no charges were laid.

Conservative government changes to the Criminal Code of Canada will soon be tested in the case of a mentally ill man who killed his three children in Merritt — it’s the same test that already failed in Quebec. The B.C. Supreme Court found Allan Schoenborn not criminally responsible for the killings that occurred seven years ago. But, Crown lawyers will be in court on Thursday, taking another step to designate him a “high-risk accused” based on laws created less than two years ago. The high-risk label was created in legislation passed in July 2014 and was announced by Prime Minister Stephen Harper at a news conference with the family of Schoenborn’s victims. But, Quebec Court Judge Thierry Nadon
ruled in February Bill C-14 “does not apply retrospectively” in the case of a Montreal man found not criminally responsible for killing two pedestrians with his car. Had the law been retrospective, it would have attached new consequences to an event that took place before the law was enacted, say the court documents. “It is a bit stupid as a new law,” said Rodolphe Bourgeois, the lawyer for the Quebec man in his late 20s who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia. The judgment was sound and Quebec prosecutors did not appeal, Bourgeois said. “So, the psychiatrist and the review board maintain their discretion to judge his freedom according to clinical standards, instead of having a legal straitjacket,” he said. The Quebec ruling could be persuasive,
but not binding on Schoenborn’s court case playing out in New Westminster. On Friday, lawyers for Schoenborn told the judge they intend to argue at a hearing later this fall that the law does not apply to the man’s past crimes. Schoenborn has been detained at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam since he was declared not criminally responsible for the April 2008 killings. He stabbed his 10-year-old daughter and smothered his eight and five-year-old sons in their Merritt home. An independent tribunal, called the B.C. Review Board, held a lengthy hearing last winter examining psychiatric evidence about the risks Schoenborn poses to public safety. It decided his rehabilitation plan could include escorted outings into the community.
B.C. Crown prosecutors found no legal basis to appeal but, in early September, initiated the new process for “highrisk accused” that would block Schoenborn from leaving the hospital indefinitely. During Schoenborn’s annual review, Neil MacKenzie of B.C.’s Criminal Justice Branch repeatedly told reporters the branch was taking the position that Bill C-14 applied “retrospectively.” In the lead-up to the passage of the law, mental-health experts argued during Parliamentary hearings against meting out penalties backwards in time — especially if a patient is now functioning well. Lawyer and psychologist Patrick Baillie said he raised the retrospective issue, to which then-federal justice minister Rob Nicholson responded that the legal changes weren’t aimed
at people deemed fit for escorted absences. “And, yet, that’s exactly what the Crown’s now arguing in Mr. Schoenborn’s case,” Baillie said. “He has been progressing through treatment, he has been compliant and an excellent example of what treatment is supposed to look like. “And, instead, the response from the prosecutor is to seek to have him yanked back inside with no passes.” On Sept. 22, a court in Brockville, Ont., may have been the first in Canada to designate a woman a “high-risk offender.” But, Marlene Carter committed the offences after the new legislation was passed, according to the Ontario’s Ministry of the Attorney General. She was found not criminally responsible in relation to seven counts, including four for assault.

The public inquest into the death of a 20-year-old Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre inmate has been delayed because of an ongoing police investigation. Dylan Levi Judd, who was from Ontario, was found unresponsive in his cell on Nov. 10, 2014. An inquest into his death was slated to begin on Nov. 23. A BC Coroners Service spokeswoman said it was postponed “to a date to be determined as an RCMP DYLAN investigation into Mr. Judd’s JUDD death is ongoing.” Judd was facing charges out of Sicamous of being unlawfully in a dwelling house and possession of stolen property. He was awaiting completion of his bail hearing while in custody. Judd was the second inmate to die in the Kamloops prison during the winter of 2014-2015. On Jan. 19, 2015, 52-year-old
Daryl Vic Belseck was found dead in his cell by staff. Belseck’s death is not considered to be suspicious, though the B.C. Coroners Service is investigating. Belseck had a lengthy criminal history, with assault, breach of probation, mischief under $5,000, uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm and assaulting a peace officer among the charges that had come before courts in Kelowna and Penticton. During a May 2013 court appearance in Penticton, court noted Belseck had a heart condition and suffered a brain injury when he was beaten with bats in 1999. The BC Coroners Service makes decisions on whether to call a public inquest, commonly done when inmates die of something other than natural causes, at the end of investigations.

WHAT IS THE TPP? A historic new trade agreement was announced yesterday which is certain to prompt a spirited political debate in a number of countries — starting with Canada’s election campaign. Here are 10 questions about the TransPacific Partnership (TPP) — answered: • Who’s in it? Brunei, Chile, New Zealand and Singapore started the project years ago. The United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Vietnam, Australia, Peru and Malaysia are now joining, bringing the membership to 12 countries. More have expressed interest in entering later, including Colombia, Thailand and South Korea. • How big is it? It’s the biggest trade zone in the world, spanning four continents and representing 40 per cent of the world’s economy — a far higher share than the European Union. • Is it more important than the EU? Not even close. Europe has truly open borders, allowing a free flow of people and products from one country to another. The TPP simply changes regulation and reduces trade barriers across a larger area. • What does it do, then? It reduces or eliminates barriers on a staggering array of Canadian exports to several countries, most notably Japan. This applies to everything from machines to canola, beef and pork,
minerals, forestry products and seafood. It allows up to 3.25 per cent more foreign dairy into Canada. It allows more foreign car parts into North America without tariffs. It also creates new rules for the digital economy, such as restricting governments’ right to shut off data flows. • Why does it matter? This brings the economies of a fast-developing region into the American sphere of influence. It sets new trade standards in China’s backyard. It sets precedents for future agreements, including any involving China and its state-owned-enterprises. It increases trade and establishes unique rules for the 21st-century, cloud-computing digital economy. • So, what’s the problem? It also exposes middle-class workers to additional low-cost competition from foreign labour, notably in the auto sector. It would also cut into the profits on dairy farms, although the government promises a multibilliondollar 10-year program to protect current farm revenues. Government decisions could be overturned in special tribunals, as they are in NAFTA, when companies sue over democratically adopted laws. • Is it a done deal? No. It still needs to be ratified in national parliaments, including Canada’s once the federal
election is over. A vote is expected early next year in the U.S. Congress and it could prove difficult. • So, can we see the full text? No, not yet. It’s undergoing a legal review. The details that have been released are coming from the various governments. One Canadian official expressed hope the parties would manage to release the agreement within a few days, but it’s unclear whether Canadians will get to see it before they vote on Oct. 19. • Does this end NAFTA? No. The North American Free Trade Agreement still exists, but in areas where the two agreements conflict, the newer one will usually prevail. In a way, this is what U.S. President Barack Obama promised when he first ran for president and said he’d revisit NAFTA — which prompted a controversy back in 2008. He promised new labour and environmental provisions and this agreement has chapters on both those things. • Does this end Canada Post and the CBC? No. There’s a popular online theory to that effect, based on the provisions limiting the rights of state-owned-enterprises. But, the government insists the relevant chapter excludes public services and specifically says the CBC and Canada Post won’t be touched.
Candidates want to read the fine print From A1
Liberal candidate Steve Powrie also wants to see the full text of the deal before signing off, but said his party is in favour of free trade. “It opens up the markets for our Canadian services and goods and it increases the number of well-paying jobs,” he said. “And, for the consumers, it offers more choice and lower prices. “But, the lack of transparency in this whole process means we’re also going to look at the whole plan and make sure that it’s fair, make sure that it’s beneficial.” Green candidate Matt Greenwood raised similar concerns, pointing to earlier leaks from the TPP negotiations that had raised the possibility of Crown corporations being forced to turn a profit — which Greenwood said could become rationale for privatizing Canada Post or disrupting the mandate of the CBC. McLeod said “significant” details on the agreement are already online, noting Parliament will have a chance to debate the
deal following the Oct. 19 election. “I’m just starting to work through the agreement as we speak, in terms of the tariffs for each country and how they will be reducing for our cattle industry, as an example,” she said.
The effect on beef. dairy sectors
They may rely on the same animal, but B.C.’s ranchers and dairy farmers are seeing two different financial pictures as a result of a new 12-country free trade deal. Kevin Boon, general manager of the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, said the TransPacific Partnership could see beef exports to Japan triple as a result of lowered tariffs, from about $100 million to $300 million — about half of B.C.’s current production. Once the deal goes into effect, Boon said beef tariffs would drop from 38.5 per cent to 27.5 — and eventually reduce to nine per cent. “It puts us on even footing with out competitors, like Australia and South America, so we’re all getting equal access on equal terms,” he said.
Boon said Japan was the key market for the cattle industry, because of its “formidable” buying power. Canadian dairy farmers will see more competition on grocery store shelves as a result of the deal, with 3.25 per cent of Canada’s dairy quota set aside for import products, in addition to the 10 per cent already set aside before the TPP. With his family’s four-generation legacy as dairy farmers at stake, Richard Lancaster watched breaking news of the agreement on television past midnight Sunday and awoke early yesterday to hear more. “I don’t think at any point I wondered about the complete loss of the quota system,” said the operator of Kluane Dairy in Walhachin. While many details are yet to emerge, Lancaster speculated the changes will mean nearly a $30,000 loss to his bottom line, a loss that will need to be offset by cutting minimal staff time at the dairy, working longer hours or making other efficiencies.

Taylor said his last memories of that early morning were arguing with Fowler as he tried to insist she eat a sandwich when they left the hospital. Outside, he said, he smoked crystal meth again. Taylor testified the two walked up Columbia Street toward the Greyhound depot. Taylor said he was hallucinating, seeing “shadows and movements.” “What’s your next memory?” defence lawyer Don Campbell asked. “Getting up off the ground and finding CJ on the ground, checking her pulse and there was no pulse,” Taylor replied. The accused said he saw a “boulder” on Fowler, adding he

panicked and ran, believing he was being chased by a red car. A pathologist testified earlier that Fowler died from asphyxiation when her tongue became trapped in her airway.
Her jaw and face were smashed and a 56-pound concrete block was found on her chest. Taylor said he would “flail” with repeated physical movements in order
to increase his crystalmeth high. However, Crown prosecutor Alexandra Janse played video in court, taken from RIH and the Greyhound depot, showing Taylor was not making abnor-
mal movements. Taylor said he acted normally because he knew he was on camera. The Crown has completed its case in the trial. Campbell told the 11-person jury he intends to call a toxicologist later this week who will testify to the effect of drugs.

LICENCE REMAINS IN LIMBO ANDREA KLASSEN

Even if city council approves a rezoning application that would allow a medical-marijuana growop to set up shop in a Dallas Drive warehouse, Dr. Richard Brownlee said there’s no guarantee Kamloopsians will ever be able to get their prescription pot from a local source. Brownlee, a neurosurgeon, said he and a few partners applied to the federal government for the necessary licence two years ago and are still in limbo. “I’m not really optimistic any of this will happen because it’s dragged on so long already,” he said. Brownlee said the group hopes to run the operation out of a warehouse at 8170 Dallas Dr., in the Gateway Industrial Park. Because the city limits medicalmarijuana growing to certain categories of industrial land, the property must be rezoned from
industrial park to general industrial. Kamloops city council will host a public hearing on the rezoning at a later date. If council — and Health Canada — approve, Brownlee said he would hope to sell medical marijuana within the region, rather than nationwide. He also sees the business as a chance to conduct research on the drug’s effects. “Because it’s always been illegal, there isn’t a lot of scientific research on different health conditions that could potentially benefit from it,” Brownlee said. “So, if we had this up and going, part of the plan was if you had the grow-op, we could also create a medical clinic that’s dedicated to people that would be using it. That way, you could evaluate how effective it is for people with different conditions.” Brownlee said securing a rezoning for the warehouse is
only the first step in turning the space into a legal grow-op, but further steps — including installing security systems and other equipment — wouldn’t begin until his application clears the first stages of Health Canada’s application program. It’s not clear how much longer that process will take. “When you ask them for more information, they always say it’s in the process, but they never really give you any specifics about if and when it’ll happen,” Brownlee said. And, even if Health Canada gives him the go-ahead, the project could still fail at a later stage. Once the production site is fully set up, the government inspects the facility again and decides whether to issue a license to grow. “They don’t give you any guarantees that when you actually make a financial commitment to build a building, you’ll actually get a license or not,” Brownlee said.

The Realeaf Wellness Centre in Kamloops is closed, but the doctor consulting for it hopes to continue working with medical-marijuana patients in the city. Dr. Ian Mitchell said he’s been told by the company that opened the site on St. Paul Street in February that “there will be no more clinics there.” Instead, patients have been referred to the Medicinal Cannabis Resource Centre (MCRCI), based in Vancouver. Mitchell, an ER doctor at Royal Inland Hospital, said he has not been told why the clinic is closed, but speculated a lack of support for the health-care treatment by doctors might be one reason. “The numbers really never developed, particularly after the College [of Physicians and Surgeons
of British Columbia] came out with their new guidelines that stated that patients had to have approval from their GP to be considered for cannabis therapy,” Mitchell said. “Given that only seven per cent of physicians prescribe cannabis and most have never received any education on the topic, this is a big barrier for patients.” He said another challenge is the fact dispensaries in Vancouver are drawing away people who might otherwise use a clinic. “The costs of running a cannabis clinic and doing all of the due diligence makes it so that you have to charge patients a fair amount — no way to do this under MSP — so many people just take a trip to Vancouver instead and just visit a dispensary,” he said. Mitchell said he’s hoping to continue working with Kamloops patients through MCRCI, which operates mainly through telemedicine.

STUDY ISSUES BEFORE YOU VOTE
W
ith less than two weeks until the federal election, it’s high time voters — if they haven’t already — give serious thought to who they want to lead the country forward for the next four years. Locally, there are four names on the ballot: Matt Greenwood (Green), Cathy McLeod (Conservative), Steve Powrie (Liberal) and Bill Sundhu (NDP). What will these candidates do for the community should they win a seat on Oct. 19? How knowledgeable are they on issues that matter? How strongly will they make our community’s voice heard in Ottawa? Which of them best represents what you see as the best direction, locally and nationally? There are no shortage of ways to get to know the issues and where each candidate stands on them: go to debates (there is one tomorrow at 1 p.m. at the Centre for Seniors Information in the Brock Mall and a media-sponsored debate on Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. at TRU’s Grand Hall), visit campaign offices, call or email the candidates directly or stop them in the street and ask. If they really want to represent you — as they insist they do — they will take the time to hear what’s important to you and give their time to fully explain their positions and what’s driving them. Candidates, too, have limited time left to make their views known, to sell constituents on their abilities to have a positive influence on this community’s and Canada’s future and bring the needs and wants of both to the forefront. The bottom line is this: Oct. 19 isn’t just another day. It’s a day that will determine the country’s path forward for a significant length of time — a term in which much can happen, both positive and negative. Saying that a single vote doesn’t count is tantamount to saying that all votes don’t count — a position we don’t believe Canadians are ready to embrace.

Grow with Roots of Empathy
I
t’s amazing what can happen when children are given opportunities to learn about and empathize with those who are more helpless than them. That important social connection is the basis for Roots of Empathy, an anti-bullying program that began in Toronto 20 years ago and has expanded to thrive in Canada and many other countries. The Kamloops-Thompson school district is one of several in B.C. that partners to offer the curriculum-based program, which involves introducing a neighbourhood family with a baby to elementary school classrooms. Roots of Empathy is delivered by trained instructors over 27 weeks, usually from October to early June, to schools that have applied to host the program in classrooms from kindergarten to Grade 7. Instructors visit students weekly for up to 40 minutes and introduce grade-appropriate lesson plans focused on social and emotional health during infant development and through childhood. Nine of the 27 lessons include a visit to the classroom by the baby and parents. The instructor preps the class the week before the baby visit and follows up with the class the week after to reflect on what was learned while baby and parents were there. Children sit in a group on the floor and observe the baby, ask questions of the parents and talk about their own feelings and those of the baby.
CARA MCKELVEY
View from
SD73
Follow-up research by Roots of Empathy over the years has revealed children who complete the program express more feelings, are kinder to friends and can be less aggressive toward others. Students have also been observed to visibly light up when the babies come in to their classrooms. In School District 73, the program is delivered through a partnership with Interior Community Services in Kamloops, which is responsible for liaising with Roots of Empathy, connecting with families and assigning them to classrooms. Val Janz, who co-ordinates this process on behalf of Interior Community Services, said in more than 10 years of offering the program, about 50 instructors have been trained by Roots of Empathy to teach an average of 20 classrooms in the district per year. Instructors are recruited from a variety of fields, including social workers, family-support workers, ECE teachers, retired teachers, education assistants, recreation workers, police officers, firefight-
ers and many others who work with families and children. Instructors encourage students to observe the baby’s development and to label the baby’s feelings. The program also focuses on risks to babies and includes information and discussions on issues such as shaken-baby syndrome, sudden infant death syndrome, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder and the dangers of second-hand smoke. Kathy Price, a retired teacher who worked with Janz and a community team to initiate Roots of Empathy in School District 73, said it’s an outstanding socialresponsibility program that is evidence-based and has proven over many years to be effective in promoting pro-social behavior while decreasing aggression in children who are enrolled in the program. Because the training and implementation is closely monitored and supported by the Roots of Empathy organization, we can be sure the program delivers what it promises. Empathy is the foundational social skill upon which all other pro-social behaviours depend, so the Roots of Empathy program truly does reach to the root of the issue of bullying and aggression in schools.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
NOISE, AIR POLLUTION DEBATABLE SIX CALLS
Editor: I would like to comment on the noise and air pollution some think might be a problem if and when the Ajax mine starts operating. I support Ajax, as long as it meets the proper regulations. The closest residence to the mine site, as I understand, is approximately 1.5 kilometres away. I live just off a busy four-lane road and I am not able to hear even the loudest motorcycle less than a half-kilometre away. I cannot understand how anyone 1.5 kilometres away will hear trucks from the Ajax mine. As for the pollution from the mine, if the good people of Kamloops are really concerned, why is it that not one person said anything about the newly constructed complex built at the corner of McGill Road and Summit Drive, within spitting distance of a four-lane road, where traffic speeds by 24 hours a day? And why is it nobody said
ABOUT AJAX NO MISTAKE
Everyone living along various “main arteries in Kamloops experiences on a daily basis more noise and air pollution from traffic than will affect homes closest to Ajax.
”
anything about the newly constructed complex at the corner of the Summit Drive and Highway 1 on-ramp, with heavy trucks driving east and west 24 hours a day? The noise and air pollution people living in these two complexes will encounter will be more than what will affect people living within 1.5 kilometres of the mine site. Everyone living along various main arteries in Kamloops experiences on a daily basis more noise and air pollution from traffic than what will affect homes closest to Ajax. Noise and air pollution along these arteries have increased substantially over the last several years. It is called growth.
The seniors’ complexes in Westsyde receive a large number of ambulance calls, with sirens blaring along Westsyde Road. Why is it that only the proposed Ajax mine is being targeted as possibly bringing noise and air pollution to Kamloops? Why is it that Dr. Jill Calder of Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment has not spoken up about the complexes along main arteries, where noise and air pollution is emitted 24 hours a day within spitting distance of the living quarters in these complexes? Larrie Hicks Kamloops
27 YEARS TO ADD TO TRAIL CONVERSATION Editor: Re: (‘Paradise Lost,’ Oct. 2): I am one of the people who regularly use the trails Diane Cooper refers to in the article. In fact, I have been using those same trails
for the 27 years I have lived in Kamloops. I hiked in areas that now have access blocked due to Cooper and her neighbours, I watched deer at the location of Dorte Helin’s home.
I do not protest the development of the land and roads for their benefit. I do protest the disconnect that allows them — and many other modern protesters — to object to further land devel-
opment once they are finished developing that land for their own purposes. Marshall Krueger Kamloops
Editor: I get a lot of calls from KGHM Ajax. Many callers thank me for supporting the proposed Ajax mine. Did someone put my name down on the list of supporters as a joke? I don’t support the mine. The most recent call was from the U.S., but the caller was not allowed to say from where she was calling. Another caller said he was in California. When I called KGHM Ajax to ask again to have my name removed from the list, “B” said she was in Kamloops, but doesn’t live here. She said my name being on the list must have been a mistake. Six times? I don’t think so. I wonder how many others have been “thanked’ whether they liked it or not? Oh, and I got a cheery Christmas card from KGHM Ajax. Is a long list of “supporters” (even if invalid) good PR? It’s good that hundreds of us were out at the city-sponsored meeting on Sept. 27, asking questions for KGHM Ajax to answer. I support clean air. I’m so glad we got our air cleaned up. I don’t think it’s possible to have a copper and gold mine so close without risk from arsenic, radiation and dust pollution.

When police tracked him down following the May 27 theft at Surplus Herby’s, Downes spat in the face of the arresting officer. Crown prosecutor Danika Heighes said Downes acted out similarly just over a month later while being led from the visiting room at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre back to his cell, during a verbal exchange with a corrections officer. “That culminated in Mr. Downes lunging forward and spitting in [the corrections officer’s] left eye,” she said.

in the 900-block of St. Paul Street downtown killed 44-year-old Cheryl William. The jury is expected to begin hearing evidence on Tuesday, Oct. 13.
A Kamloops man who spat in the face of a police officer while being arrested and then again in the face of a corrections officer while in custody will be released from jail after three months behind bars. Sebastian Downes pleaded guilty to five charges in Kamloops provincial court on Monday and received a sentence of time served.

“He was only about a foot away when he spat in his eye. He needs to understand that thefts and spitting on peace officers is not acceptable behaviour.” Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley sentenced Downes to time served. “You need to treat authority figures — police officers, guards — with respect,” the judge said. “You can’t go around spitting in people’s faces.” For his part, Downes apologized in court and said life behind bars has been rough. “I’m pretty embarrassed of my actions,” he said. “Jail is difficult. Living with someone you don’t really know. The system is difficult.”

UBC forestry meeting coming to Kamloops UBC is heading to Kamloops to talk about forestry — and, in particular, how it affects the environment. UBC alumni relations officer Janna Kellett said the Thursday event will include information gleaned from research the university’s faculty of forestry is doing, studies addressing climate change, health links to forestry, habitat loss and minimizing the effects of wildfires. It will even bring in the concept of educational video games as students are working with Forest Humus Forms Quest, a game designed for smartphones that leads them through identifying soil and plants in the forest, answering questions along the way. The game was developed by Maja Krzic, a soil scientist at UBC who said it brings a sense of exploration and discovery students might not find in a classroom lecture. The session — open to anyone, but designed to engage the large communities of foresters and UBC alumni in the Kamloops region — will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 14, in the Terrace Room at Hotel 540, 540 Victoria St., from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. People need to register for the free event by Thursday, Oct. 8. Register online at alumni.ubc.ca/ forestry. For more information, call Kirsten Armour at 1-855-427-5767 or email kirsten.armour@ubc.ca.

Physiotherapy DRY NEEDLING / IMS Trigger points, often a component of myofascial pain syndrom, are irritable, hard ‘knots’ within a muscle that may cause pain over a large area. Dry needling may release the tight muscle bands and decrease pain. IMS (Intra-Muscular Stimulation) is a treatment technique that uses fine solid needles (acupuncture-like needles) to treat tight, shortened, tensed-up muscles, muscle bands which are contributing towards abnormal function of the nervous system.
RADIAL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Certain chronic musculoskeletal and orthopaedic conditions have a hard time healing due to the development of unhealthy, disorganized tissue in the are SUCCESS RATE of injury. Over time, this dysfunctional tissue limits the body’s ability to repair. Radial pressure waves, commonly called Shock Wave Therapy, is an excellent treadment consideration for these chronic conditions.

Remembering Joe Cooper DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Joe Cooper’s garden still has produce waiting to be picked. There are some peppers and tomatoes and at least one head of broccoli that’s looking pretty good. Tracy Clarke hopes to get to them and reap Joe’s final harvest. Joe would want that. Joe’s wife, Pauline, says he didn’t like turnips, so that was never on the must-plant list of the man who died in August at the age of 87, a longtime member of the Kamloops Garden Club — and someone his friends say was one of those unique individuals who left a mark on Kamloops without even trying. The family came to the River City from England in 1969; Cooper got involved in real estate and Pauline, using her family surname of Nock, took her medical practice to the Burris Clinic. Why Kamloops? “Why not?” Pauline replied to laughter from Tracy, her longtime live-in caregiver who helps her cope with the realities of multiple sclerosis.
Joe went to work for the Cooper-Nicholson Century 21 office — but, along the way, became friends with then-mayor Mike Latta and started sharing his ideas with the mayor on how Kamloops could be better. Those conversations led to Sagebrush Theatre being built, to trees being planted along Victoria Street — “when we moved here, it was so hot walking there,” Pauline said — and to the development of Tudor Village in Sahali and Elm Tree Place on First Avenue. Friend Michael Black called Joe “the epitome of a perfect gentleman, the kind of guy anyone would want for their father.” His memories include the work Joe did in the community but he also spoke of the regular Thursday afternoon gatherings at the Noble Pig, where Joe and some of his friends would gather to play cards. The game was Blitz. “You could lose up to $4.50 in an afternoon,” Michael said. “Joe would often say at the start: ‘Beer, man’s greatest invention’. “One afternoon, there was a group of policeman sitting at a table near us and, when they’d
get up to go to the washroom, they’d cover their eyes to not see the quarters on the table.” Pat Wallace is another friend who got to know Joe when she was first elected to city council. He was a strong advocate for projects he felt would benefit the city, she said, and made compelling presentations to city hall. “He was a very articulate and extremely well-read man,” Wallace said. “He was extremely interested in community politics, who would be elected.” A devoted supporter of the cultural side of the city, Joe was named a life member of the Kamloops Art Gallery and was on the board of Western Canada Theatre for years. He loved to head to the Cineplex Odeon at Aberdeen Mall on Sunday mornings, Pauline said, when the theatre would often screen operas. “He had an ear for music and could recognize almost anything he heard,” she said, noting it needed to come from the classical genre, rather than Top 40. “Joe was not an idle man,” Pauline said of her husband. “He was an idea man who made friends and talked of vision.”

TROUBLING 0-4 START
PLAYOFF PRE-CURSOR
Derek Yachison and the Kamloops Broncos scored 38 points, but it was not enough to get past the high-powered Okanagan Sun at Hillside Stadium on Saturday. The Sun won 51-38. Perhaps the Broncos are saving the B.C. Football Conference’s upset of the year for the playoffs. The teams will meet again in Round 1 of the post-season on Oct. 18 in Kelowna. Game time is 1 p.m. at the Apple Bowl. Okanagan was the class of the BCFC in 2015, posting a perfect 10-0 record and outscoring opponents 488-108. The Broncos, who are seeking their first-ever playoff victory, went 5-5. In the other BCFC semifinal, the Vancouver Island Raiders (7-3) will host the Langley Rams (6-4).

igns of life on the high-school football scene might be positive indicators for the health of the sport in general in Kamloops. “The last three or four years have been a struggle, so it’s good to see things going in the right direction,” said Dean MacDonald, head coach of the senior South Kamloops Titans. “I don’t think things are great, but they’ve improved, having at least enough numbers to survive and some quality Grade 11 and 12 kids. We’ll see how it plays out.” The Valleyview Vikings, Westsyde Blue Wave, Vernon Panthers and Clarence Fulton Maroons of Vernon join South Kamloops to form the AA senior B.C. High School Football Interior division. Regular-season play begins this week, with South Kamloops, which finished
A15
1-3 under Peter Mercuri and missed the playoffs in 2014, in for an early-season test against the Maroons on Friday. Game time is 5 p.m. at Hillside Stadium. The high-school coach who seems to have the brightest outlook on football in Kamloops is Westsyde Blue Wave bench boss Cleve Maartman, whose charges posted a 3-1 record last season and are the defending city champions. In 2014, Westsyde earned the division’s second playoff berth (4-0 Vernon was the top seed) before falling 51-6 to the Ballenas Whalers in Round 1 on Vancouver Island. Maartman pointed to the success of the junior Kamloops Broncos in recent seasons and the increasing number of Kamloops Community Football products as reasons for growth at the high-school level. “And, it’s not so much about being a hard-pounding, hard-hitting player anymore,” Maartman said. “There is a lot of skill out there now.
“The kids are having fun and our coaches have that philosophy.” The Panthers are expected to again be the class of the Interior and will start the 2015 campaign at home against Westsyde on Friday. Game time is 3:30 p.m in Vernon. Westsyde lost key players to graduation last season, including Dayton Schädlich, Kohl Hrycewich, Colton Mcmechan and Nick Minter, and is no shoo-in to repeat as kings of Kamloops. Head coach Cory Bymoen returns to the Vikings this season after a year away from the gridiron. Valleyview, 0-4 in 2014 under Brian Young, is expected to have about 24 players on the roster — that includes about six junior-varsity call-ups. South Kam and Westsyde are also a touch low on bodies, with between 20 and 25 seniors set to take to the field, but each of those squads have a strong pool of juniors in the offing. See JUNIOR, A17
This is not where they wanted to be, winless four games into the WHL season. The Kamloops Blazers (0-4) were twice beaten by the Victoria Royals (4-0) on the weekend — 4-2 on Friday and 5-1 on Saturday — and will be searching for win No. 1 tomorrow at Sandman Centre when the TriCity Americans come to town. Game time is 7 p.m. “It’s definitely a little bit of desperation sinking in here,” said Matt Needham, the Blazers’ 20-year-old captain. “If we can get everybody on the same page competing as hard as we can, it shouldn’t take long to get us out of the hole.” Head coach Don Hay gathered his team for a meeting yesterday morning to discuss the weekend losses and look ahead to tomorrow’s game. The main topic addressed was the club’s work ethic. “We had a meeting this morning to talk about our competitiveness, to try and get that up,” Needham said. “It doesn’t matter how hard you work when you’re giving up breakaways and guys are falling asleep. You get things rolling, you have a good couple of shifts and then, bang,
you give one up like that. Tri-City (1-1-1-0) played last at home in Kennewick, Wash., on Sunday, when Parker Wotherspoon’s overtime marker lifted the Americans to a 6-5 victory over Seattle. Left-winger Jordan Topping and European import defenceman Juuso Valimaki lead Tri-City with five points apiece. Forwards Garrett Pilon, Jake Kryski and Jesse Zaharichuk each have five points to lead the Blazers. Kamloops has been without one of its best players in forward Deven Sideroff, who is recovering from a virus and will not play tomorrow. The 18-year-old Summerland product has resumed skating with the team and a return to the lineup on Saturday, when Victoria comes to town, is not out of the question. “I know, personally, he complements me very well,” Needham said. “We miss him, but we can’t really focus on that.” Forward Matt Revel, 19, re-injured his shoulder in his return to action on Friday and is listed as day-to-day. Defenceman Conner McDonald, 16, is recovering from an upperbody injury and has resumed skating, but is not expected to play this week.

McEwan reshaping life through jiu-jitsu ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
It was just moments into his first match at the 2015 IBJJF Master World’s Brazilian JiuJitsu Championships last month in Las Vegas that Brad McEwan realized he might be able to do some damage. Competing in just his second jiu-jitsu event, the 51-year-old was still searching for his first competition win — he had lost in an event in Penticton earlier this year. But, McEwan would win that first match, along with a handful of others as the competition progressed. Before long, he was preparing to compete in the gold-medal final for blue-belt ultraheavyweights. “It was one of the

most amazing experiences I’ve ever had,” McEwan said, reflecting on the event. He had no expectations of finishing the event on the podium, instead just hoping to do his best and enjoy the experience.
“To get a medal was icing on the cake,” he said, still in some disbelief. “I still take the medal out and look at it every once in a while.” McEwan ended the Las Vegas event with
a silver medal around his neck, losing the ultra-heavyweight final by an advantage point (awarded by the referee to the fighter who held the advantage in the event of a tie match), but that didn’t detract

from the experience. After all, twoand-a-half years ago, McEwan’s life was very different. When he first started training at what is now Valley JiuJitsu in Kamloops, he weighed in at nearly 300 pounds. He was out of shape and unhealthy. Battling through a handful of five-minute rounds with athletes half his age would have been out of the question. No longer is that the case. McEwan has transformed his life through martial arts. He now tips the scale at 245 pounds. He trains with fighters in their 20s. He stood on the podium at a world championship. “It has changed my life a lot,” McEwan told KTW. “The more I go, the more fit I feel, the better I feel.” For Valley Jiu-Jitsu owner and head coach
Chris Thring, who also hit the podium in the event, winning gold in the brown-belt featherweight division and bronze in the open division, seeing McEwan receive his medal was a proud moment — not just because of how far the fighter has come in his training, but because of the mental toughness he showed. Known to previously deal with a little anxiety before matches, McEwan conquered his nerves as he conquered opponents. “He managed to stay relaxed before his first match and ended up submitting the first guy there. He was just super happy,” Thring said. A third Kamloops athlete, Mark Goodall, won a bronze in the purple-belt featherweight category at the event. “I love seeing that kind of confidence booster and a little bit of success, because

both teams had a fair amount of problems securing the football.” Linebacker Brooks Miller had two interceptions and Tyston Harrison led Valleyview in tackles. Quarterback Hunter Koopmans completed passes to Mitch Dixon, Brett Steptoe and Justin Young. The Vikings will be in Burnaby to play Moscrop in exhibition play on Friday.

then it will inspire him to keep doing the same things as time goes on here,” Thring said. McEwan intends to continue competing. In fact, he has already set goals for next year’s world championship, resolving to drop a weight class by the time the event rolls around in 2016. He has another 25 or 30 pounds to lose, but the task doesn’t seem daunting. “I think it’s very achievable. I’ve still got a few pounds to lose yet,” McEwan said. “We have a lot of people that show up and try [jiu-jitsu] — about half of them stay. The ones who stay come over and over and over again. “It’s like an addiction, it really is. “If I wasn’t doing it, I’d be sitting on the couch watching TV. It really has changed my life.”

Junior programs thriving at Westsyde, South Kam From A15
The Titans’ junior program has been bolstered by the arrival of coaches JP Lancaster and Jesse Faubert, both South Kamloops secondary and Kamloops Broncos alumni. “They’re doing a great job with the juniors,” MacDonald said, noting there are about 35 students on the squad. “Kids are still coming out of the woodwork because they hear kids are having fun.” Westsyde has seen stability at the junior-varsity level, with about 40 players on the team. The Blue Wave enjoyed a road trip last month to Washington state, where they watched the Washington Huskies play the California Bears in NCAA Division One football action. Maartman said part of the
reason for Westsyde’s success last year is many of the players endured years of losing at the junior level before moving up to the senior ranks. They didn’t quit. “You’ve got to play through those years that are lean,” he said. “Really, our junior team hasn’t won a game in six years, but our senior team was city champs last year. “That’s key. If you miss out on a year or two years, you miss out on development.” Valleyview’s junior-varsity program is not in great shape and does not have enough players, Bymoen said. The Vikings’ senior team will see its first regular-season action against Vernon at Hillside Stadium on Oct. 16. Game time is 4 p.m.
“Things are pretty much the same here,” Bymoen said, noting his charges are 2-1 in preseason play. “But, we have a tough bunch of kids. I’ve got a feeling there’s a lot of grit there.”
Under the lights
The glory days are returning, if only for a night. Plans have been finalized for the third annual Warner Rentals Friday Night Lights football game, which will feature the South Kamloops Titans and Westsyde Blue Wave pitted against each other in throwback uniforms on Oct. 16 at Westsyde secondary. “I thought, you know what would be really cool is if we brought Kam High back for one
game only and we’ll have a retro night,” Maartman said. “It’s kind of snowballed. We’re expecting between 2,000 and 3,000 people at this game. We’re bringing in more bleachers and doing it up.” Game time is 7 p.m. Alumni from each school can go online to Big Kahuna Sport’s website to buy retro jerseys bearing their name and number. The jerseys will be delivered to the head coaches of each team and dispersed among the players on game day. Former Kam High Red Devils and Westsyde Whundas will watch from the sidelines as the two schools battle it out under the lights in regular-season B.C. High School Football Association AA Okanagan Varsity play.
When the final whistle blows, the jerseys will be returned to their purchasers. In October 2013, 800 fans showed up to watch Westsyde square off against the Mount Baker Wild of Cranbrook in the inaugural game. More than 1,300 attended the second annual showcase game last year between the Blue Wave and Valleyview Vikings. Read more about the game at kamloopsthisweek.com.
Junior tilts
The Vikings and Titans are scheduled to meet today in junior-varsity play. Game time is 4 p.m. at South Kamloops secondary. Westsyde is slated to play hometown Rutland tomorrow.

Nor should they be confused with two or three day complimentary stays. A respite or convalescence stay is for individuals looking for post-illness or hospital discharge recuperation. These stays include 24 hour nursing care and require an assessment by the on-site nursing staff. Complimentary stays are for those who have done their research and know that retirement community living is the lifestyle for them. These stays help determine if a particular community is right for you. Short term stays are for those considering a move out of their current home but are not sure of the next step. These stays let you experience all that retirement community living has to offer. Suites are completely furnished and include all household accessories.

.A. is the least anonymous sports executive in Canada, and thanks to the wheeling and dealing done in the past 11 months by Alex Anthopoulos, the Toronto Blue Jays are in baseball’s post season for the first time in 22 years. Whether or not he presides over a 2015 World Series title, the Jays’ Anthopoulos will undoubtedly win Major League Baseball’s executiveof-the-year award as the Blue Jays celebrate their best season since 1993. The first piece of the championship puzzle came early last winter when, somehow, A.A. pried third baseman Josh Donaldson out of the Oakland A’s in exchange for hotheaded Brett Lawrie, a journeyman at best, and three of the Jays’ best young prospects. Around the same time, he signed free agent all-star catcher Russell Martin, a Canadian, to a fiveyear contract. Donaldson came
BRUCE PENTON
with a great reputation, having hit 29 home runs in 2014, and went on to put together an offensive season that had Jays’ fans chanting “MVP!, MVP!” since July. Donaldson is almost sure to win the American League MVP title, in a tight vote over California’s Mike Trout, after slamming 41 home runs, driving in 123 and leading the Jays to a runs-scored total of just under 900, more than 130 higher than the No. 2 team, the Yankees. But even with Donaldson’s red-hot bat, the Jays were mediocre through mid-season. On July 28, Toronto had a 50-51 record. But, A.A. found a phone, dealt Jose Reyes and a couple of prospects to Colorado to acquire shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, generally acknowledged as one of the game’s top
10 players, and then went to the Jays’ vault where the prospects are kept, found a couple more gold-plated prizes, and sent them to Detroit for lefthanded starter David Price, an all-star, a Cy Young winner, an ace. Adding Ben Revere from Philadelphia, a virtual hitting machine (.313 in the last two months), was the final piece of the A.A. work of art. Jays’ fans went crazy as the team played .735 ball since Aug. 1, as Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion joined Donaldson in an unprecedented slugfest. They ran away with the A.L. East as Price went 9-1 since his acquisition, and Marcus Stroman emerged as the No. 2 starter after coming back from springtraining ACL surgery to go 4-0 and a 1.67 E.R.A. It was a great time to be a Jays’ fan in September. Canada is hoping October and the first few days of November is even more fun. Care to comment? Email brucepenton2003@yahoo.ca

JEROME PUGMIRE
THE CANADIAN PRESS
LEICESTER, England — When Canada’s players eventually fly home from the Rugby World Cup after their last match against Romania, it will be with fond memories of the attacking rugby they played and regrets over the opportunities they failed to take. On the eve of the Pool D encounter, Canada coach Kieran Crowley reflected on the tournament and one match stood out: the 23-18 loss to Italy, where the Canadians failed to capitalize on a 10-0 lead. “We watched that video and probably cried all the way through it,’’ Crowley said yesterday. “We had overlaps and chances to score. We didn’t have the game sense to do it.’’ Canada and Romania play today, with kickoff set for 8:30 a.m. on TSN. Canada enjoyed some thrilling rugby against France last week, getting behind the defence and scoring two quick tries in the first half. Canada got to within six points of France after the

restart, but then faded, losing 41-18. After the 50-7 defeat to Ireland in its opening match, Crowley underlined how Ireland had punished his team with its superior game management. But, Canada is not to blame for that. In the four years between the 2011 and 2015 World Cups, Canada played three Tier 1 teams. In the first 12 days of this tournament, the Canadians played three, exposing their limitations as well as increasing their fatigue.
“We need to play Tier 1 countries, our decision makers (on the field) need to be at a club where they’re given decision-making games. We’ve made a lot of progress at skill level but we haven’t got over the line lately to get wins,’’ Crowley said. “There’s some minirugby starting up in Canada, but there is progress being made elsewhere as well. Romania have seven professional teams in Bucharest and that’s not something we can compete with.’’ Veteran lock Jamie
Cudmore, who captains Canada in the absence of the injured Tyler Ardron, remembers how he came into rugby late and thinks the game must be developed more at grassroots level in Canada. “I started quite late, 16 or 17 years old. If you get to the international stage at 23 or 24 and been only playing five or six years that’s not enough,’’ said Cudmore, a regular for Clermont in France’s elite Top 14 league. “We need guys in our decision-making areas to be playing high-level competition week in, week out, and then we’ll start knocking over some of the big boys.’’ Cudmore will play his 14th World Cup match, moving level with Canada recordholder Rod Snow. Joking about his age, Cudmore says he’s so old “I’ve coached a few of the guys in the squad and that dates me a little bit.’’ Still, he’s in no hurry to walk away from international rugby. Lynn Howells’ Romania lineup should be the fresher side at Leicester’s City Stadium. It has played only
Jays’ schedule might prove disappointing TORONTO — Despite their thrilling second-half push to the post-season, it appears the Toronto Blue Jays are not ready for prime time. Start times for the first three games of the American League Division Series between Toronto and Texas were released yesterday and the Blue Jays’ early slot in Major League Baseball’s post-season lineup might be disappointing to fans who snagged elusive playoff tickets or planned to catch the game at a local bar after work.
Game 1 on Thursday at Rogers Centre will start at 12:37 p.m. if the Houston Astros beat the New York Yankees in the AL wild-card game and 1:07 p.m. if the Yankees are victorious. The start for Game 2 on Friday is less favourable, with a 9:45 a.m. first pitch, meaning those caught in the 9-to-5

Game 3 in Arlington, Tex., on Sunday, a day when when a matinee might be appealing to fans, will take place at 5 p.m. Games 4 and 5, if necessary, have not yet been assigned a start time. The Blue Jays are playing in the post-season for the first time since 1993 and their run to the AL East title has created a major buzz in a city desperate for a winning team. /CP

Romania is aiming to win its last two matches, this one and the last one against Italy, to take third spot and secure an automatic place for the 2019 World Cup. “It’s time to produce a result and for the players to come out and play their best rugby,’’ coach Howells said. “But, it’s a pretty nervous camp at the moment, they just want to go out there and play.’’ He already has a pretty good idea how Canada will approach the game: with plenty of running and width. “They don’t want the scrum because that’s what they try and stay away from,’’ he said. “We’re expecting more of a loose game.’’

TORONTO — A number of Canada’s medical marijuana growers are poised to release cannabis oils for authorized patients who don’t want to smoke or vaporize the dried herb to relieve symptoms. In July, Health Canada gave growers the green light to begin producing the plantbased extracts, which are expected to be approved for sale in the coming months. About a dozen of the country’s 25 medicinal pot producers have sought expanded licences to produce and market cannabis oils and/or fresh marijuana buds and leaves
under the updated federal regulations. Among them are Ontario companies Tweed and Bedrocan Canada Inc., and B.C.’s Tilray. Tilray announced Monday that it has 20 cannabis extract products awaiting Health Canada approval, including oils in liquid form, gel caps and a topical preparation for certain skin conditions. “We really felt it was important to let patients and the general public, physicians and researchers know about these products ahead of time,’’ said Philippe Lucas, the company’s vice-president of research and services. “We know there’s
going to be a lot of questions about the products the first time that these kinds of extract products will be legally available in Canada,’’ he said from Nanaimo. Patients who have been authorized by their doctors to purchase dried medical marijuana to treat such conditions as chronic pain, multiple sclerosis symptoms or epilepsy will not need a new prescription in order to access cannabis oils, he said. “There’s an equivalency factor that we’ve put into these and so there will be an equivalency, for example, of the number of gel caps or the amount of oil you’re allowed to order,
based on your daily and monthly limits. “So any Canadian who’s authorized to use medical cannabis right now would be able to access these,’’ said Lucas, noting that the oils will be delivered by mail or courier in the same way the dried herb is currently shipped. Bruce Linton, chairman and CEO of the recently merged Bedrocan and Tweed, said the company initially plans to release two or three cannabis oil products, which could be scaled up to 10 or more, depending on patient demand. “There are different types of oils,’’ Linton said from the Tweed plant in Smiths Falls, Ont., southwest of Ottawa. “The combination of ingredients is expected to have a similar effect in its oil form as it does in its flower form.’’ For instance, an oil could include a combination of marijuana strains, while another could be a purified single strain with a specific effect, such as helping a person with chronic pain to sleep. “So each of the venues has their own distinct strains, which have their own distinct applications and will become their own distinct oils,’’ he said of the Bedrocan and Tweed growing facilities. As well, some oils produced by the various growers will have different concentrations of weed’s main medicinal ingredients: THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive agent that provides marijuana’s high, and non-psychoactive CBD (cannabidiol), which is being used by some patients to control seizures. A Health Canada spokesman said Monday that the various producers’ oils will be approved on a caseby-case basis.

Provincial budget set to be Isolated reserve unveiled in sputtering Alberta with no clean Province’s first NDP government still mum on tax increases, levies water to make case before UN SHOAL LAKE 40
DEAN BENNETT
THE CANADIAN PRESS
CHINTA PUXLEY
THE CANADIAN PRESS
WINNIPEG — A reserve cut off from the mainland and under a boil-water advisory for almost two decades is taking its case to the United Nations. Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, which straddles the ManitobaOntario boundary, became isolated a century ago during construction of an aqueduct which carries water to Winnipeg. The reserve has no all-weather road and has been without clean water for 17 years. A delegation from the reserve is expected to travel to Geneva, Switzerland, in February to make its case to a United Nations committee on economic, social and cultural rights. The First Nation is also part of a worldwide investigation by Human Rights Watch. That review is to be presented to the same UN committee reviewing Canada’s human rights record. Chief Erwin Redsky said his delegation will outline “all the human rights violations we suffer daily,’’ including a lack of clean water, no freedom of movement and inadequate health care and education. “We’re going to tell the world what’s going on in Canada here, specifically to Shoal Lake 40, what’s been going on for 100 years now,’’ he said. Since there is no permanent road, people from the reserve risk their lives every winter walking across the ice to get to and from the mainland. Some have died. The aging ferry that residents rely on in the summer failed to pass government inspection last spring, which prompted the reserve to move out elders and declare a state of emergency. The ferry was patched up, but will need more extensive repairs. Children who reach high school have to move off the reserve to continue their education. Elders and those who are sick don’t have access to proper health care since many medical professionals won’t risk getting to the reserve, Redsky said. Many residents leave the community regularly just to take a shower at community centres
in Kenora, Ont. — more than 70 kilometres away. “Canada is one of the richest countries in the world,’’ Redsky said. “This should not be happening.’’ Residents have been lobbying for years for what they call a permanent Freedom Road into the community. Public support and pressure has been growing among multi-faith groups, social justice activists and the business community. The City of Winnipeg, Manitoba REDSKY and federal government have put up $1 million each for a design study, which is to be completed in January. An all-weather road is expected to cost $30 million, shared by the three levels of government. Winnipeg has said it would help pay for construction, but only the provincial NDP government has committed to earmarking cash in its upcoming budget. The federal NDP and Liberal party have promised to fund Ottawa’s share of road construction if victorious in the Oct. 19 election. Redsky said he hopes the United Nations can increase pressure on Canada and Winnipeg to do what’s right for the people of Shoal Lake 40. “Once we get road access to our community, we hope to push for a water treatment plant and push for economic development which we desperately need.’’ Amanda Klasing, senior researcher with the New Yorkbased Human Rights Watch, said Shoal Lake 40 is one of four Ontario First Nations that will be studied in depth for her report to the United Nations committee. No conclusions have been reached yet, she said. “There has been a lot of public focus on the water advisories and concerns, but there certainly are sanitation issues . . . that I haven’t seen reported as widely,’’ Klasing said.
EDMONTON — Alberta’s NDP government is to deliver its first budget on Oct. 27, but Finance Minister Joe Ceci isn’t saying if more tax increases or new levies will be included. “Our budget will outline a plan for jobs and economic growth while stabilizing public services. And we will present a path to [budget] balance,’’ Ceci told reporters at a legislature news conference yesterday. Ceci said the goal is for renewed infrastructure spending while protecting core services, along with a blueprint to balance the budget and create jobs. “Now is not the time to make things worse, for knee-jerk reactions that would result in firing nurses and teachers during these tough economic times,’’ he said. “The budget will outline our government’s plan to stimulate economic growth, diversification and job creation.’’ Ceci declined to provide further details. Premier Rachel Notley’s govern-
ment has already hiked corporate income taxes to 12 per cent from 10 per cent and raised taxes on those earning more than $125,000 a year. The minimum wage has also gone up. It rose by $1 an hour last week and is now at $11.20. The rate is to go up to $15 an hour by 2018. Derek Fildebrandt, finance critic for the Opposition Wildrose party, said raising fees in the budget would be self-defeating. “Our province’s path to balance will not be achieved through tax hikes,’’ Fildebrandt said in a news release. “No government has ever spent its way to a balanced budget, particularly in a time of economic uncertainty.’’ Liberal Leader David Swann said the NDP’s plan for building is sound, but it’s critical “that infrastructure spending be prioritized based on need — not political considerations — and include repairing existing infrastructure as well as new projects.’’ The province has not passed a budget since the spring of 2014. The former Progressive
Conservative government tabled a 2015-16 budget in March and ran on it in the May election, but lost to the New Democrats. The NDP has since been crafting a new financial budget to align with its promises to increase funding for education and social services and reverse the PCs’ proposed rollbacks in health spending. For the last six months, the government has been operating on spending warrants. The PC budget that never passed predicted a $5-billion shortfall this year due to a prolonged slump in oil prices. Ceci has said he expects that deficit will be $5.9 billion or perhaps as high as $6.5 billion. To keep the figure within that range, the province is pulling $3 billion out of its contingency fund. That will leave about $3.5 billion. Notley campaigned on balancing the budget by 2018-19 but, in recent weeks, has said her team is rethinking that goal given how deeply low oil prices are biting into the economy. The budget comes a day after the legislature begins its fall sitting.
Man charged after posting speeding video online SWAN RIVER, Man. — A Manitoba man is facing several criminal charges after a video posted on Facebook showed a vehicle reaching speeds of up to 190 kilometres per hour. The video shows a vehicle on a two-lane highway near Swan River passing other vehicles around 140 kilometres per hour. RCMP said they found the video through a routine keyword search. Police said the total disregard for public safety is what led to criminal charges being laid. Sheldon Karl Skulmoski, 43, is charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, failing to use a seat-belt, speeding and for the use of a hand-held electronic device while driving. Skulmoski has been released with conditions and is to appear in court in Swan River on Nov. 4. — The Canadian Press
Montreal’s plan to dump sewage met with criticism MONTREAL — The City of Montreal is standing by its plan to dump eight billion litres of untreated wastewater into the St. Lawrence River while it does construction work, saying it’s the best alternative.
National News
BRIEFS
The one-week sewage dump is to relocate a snow chute on a tunnel that needs to be empty for workers to access it. The project is part of an ongoing plan to raze the downtown Bonaventure Expressway, which runs above it. Mayor Denis Coderre told reporters yesterday he’s confident city officials have done their due diligence, made sure drinking water for communities downstream will not be affected and selected the best option in terms of time and cost. Coderre suspended the plan last week, but experts maintained the temporary diversion of wastewater was the best option. “After the re-evaluation, I decided I was satisfied with the answer,’’ Coderre said. However, the plan has its detractors. More than 58,000 people had signed an online petition as of yesterday afternoon against the proposed dumping. — The Canadian Press
Suncor bids to take over Canadian Oil Sands CALGARY — Suncor Energy is looking to add another big chunk to its vast oilsands holdings — and take advantage of a prolonged rout in crude prices — with an unsolicited takeover bid for Canadian Oil Sands Ltd., the largest partner in the Syncrude mine north of Fort McMurray. Suncor said yesterday it is offering $4.3 billion in its own shares and would take on about $2.3 billion of debt owed by Canadian Oil Sands, making the total transaction worth $6.6 billion. Suncor says the offer would give shareholders of Canadian Oil Sands a stake in Canada’s largest integrated energy company, which includes the Petro-Canada chain of fuel stations as well as its own oil and gas production and refining operations. The offer value is also 43 per cent above the market value for Canadian Oil Sands, based on closing prices at the Toronto Stock Exchange on Friday. Canadian Oil Sands stock shot up nearly 50 per cent yesterday amid speculation that a rival offer may emerge. — The Canadian Press

GERARD AUGUST MUDRY On September 30, 2015 Gerard (Gerry) Mudry beloved husband, brother, father, and grandfather passed away peacefully in Kamloops, BC at the age of eighty-six. Gerry is predeceased by his loving wife Marie Adrianna (nee Schrauwen) and nine brothers and sisters. He is survived by his brother Antoine Mudry and by his five devoted children Peter (Marie), MaryAnne (Richard), Cecile (Alan), Jim (Heidi), and Paul. “Popsey” will also be greatly missed by his eight grandchildren Sherry (Brett), Marie (James), Amanda, Allen, Niki, Alanna, Ella, and Ezra. Gerry was born on August 12, 1929 in Lens, Switzerland to Pierre and Ambroisine Mudry. Throughout his young adult life he worked in the family vineyard. At the age of 21 Gerry and his childhood friend Rene Cordonier accepted a sponsorship to immigrate to Canada, where they worked at the Cordonier family farm until 1953. Gerry then began working for the Schrauwen family at Dutch Dairy, where soon after he met his sweetheart Marie. Gerry and Marie were engaged Christmas of 1953 and were married the following September in 1954. Over the next 24 years Gerry worked diligently with the Schrauwen family to grow the Dairy into a successful business. In 1969 Gerry and Marie opened Gerry’s Emporium in Kamloops which became a much loved family business by those living in the Westsyde community. Although daily life was busy, Popsey always placed great importance on creating family fun; whether it was activities such as skiing, biking, swimming, soccer, an impromptu dance lesson or just sitting around the kitchen table laughing about past family antics. Popsey’s love for music and dancing touched everyone around him; he always said “If you can walk you can dance”. His love for food was well known, coming from Popsey’s own Swiss family traditions. He always had a wheel of cheese, and a plate of salami waiting for anyone who walked through the door. Popsey will always be remembered for his fun loving nature and contagious smile. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of Gerry’s caregivers for their help and support over the years. A memorial service will be held at Schoening Funeral Home (513 Seymour Street) on Friday, October 9, 2015 at 11:00 am followed by a reception at Hotel 540 (540 Victoria Street) at 12:30 pm. Donations in memory of Gerry can be made to the Alzheimer Society of Kamloops.

Pennies From Heaven
Charles L. Mashburn
I found a penny today, Just laying on the ground But it’s not just a penny, This little coin I’ve found. “Found” pennies come from heaven, That’s what my Grandpa told me He said angels toss them down; Oh, how I loved that story. He said when an angel misses you, They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up, Make a smile out of your frown So don’t pass by that penny, When you’re feeling blue It may be a penny from heaven That an angel tossed to you.

W
hen it comes to nerves, Larry Read has some advice. “Just be yourself,” he said. “We’ve all sung the national anthem at school or some event or something like that. There’s nothing to be worried about. “Nobody will boo you or throw stuff at you.” Thompson Rivers University’s sports and information officer is looking for volunteers to sing O Canada at WolfPack games. Students who had been helping him in recent years have moved on, many of them graduating from school. “We found ourselves in a situation,” Read said. Ideally, he’d like to have four people in the rotation for volleyball, soccer and basketball games. Crowds range from on average 500 for soccer games to 2,000 fans for playoff basketball action, Read said. “Volleyball has an average crowd of 900 to 1,000 people.” Read took to Facebook for recruiting and said the response, so far, has been wide-ranging, from TJ Connors, morning-show host of Country 103, to Steven Powrie, local Liberal MP candidate who played the anthem on his trumpet. Others who have volunteered to take the mic are professional musicians, parents and students. “We’re still looking for people to sing,” he said. Those interested are required to do both the men’s and women’s games but they don’t have to stay for the entirety of them. While the gigs aren’t paid, Read said singers are given WolfPack swag and four tickets to the game so friends and family can watch. They also get a photograph of their performance. Games, depending on the sport, might be on a Friday night or Saturday afternoon. The nice thing, Read noted, is the schedule is completed well in advance. While those interested are required to audition, no experience is necessary. For more information on performing the national anthem at WolfPack games, email lread@tru.ca or kasleson@tru.ca.
O Canada? Oh my! Oh, say can you sing? Epic moments in atrocious anthems: • Dennis KC Parks, a Las Vegas lounge singer, butchers O Canada before a 1994 CFL game between the hometown Las Vegas Posse and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The CFL’s expansion into America was about as successful as this rendition of O Canada. • In 1990, with her eponymous sitcom sitting atop the TV ratings, comedienne Rosanne Barr was invited to sing the Star Spangled Banner before a Padres/Reds baseball game in San Diego. It was a horrible exhibition. Thankfully, the video we link to at kamloopsthisweek.com does not include Barr’s anthemending crotch grab. • Mark Donnelly, the regular anthem singer at Vancouver Canucks’ home games, donned a pair of skates when he took his vocal show on the road for the junior A Penticton Vees’ home opener in October 2014. Donnelly proved that, when you fall, you don’t always fail. • A spooked anthem singer, Caroline Marcil, tried to belt out the Star Spangled Banner in 2005 at a hockey game between Canada and the U.S. in Quebec, but forgot the lyrics — twice. Rattled, she left the ice to the catcalls of the crowd. Undaunted, our singer returned, and wished she hadn’t. • Carl Lewis was one of the greatest Olympians of all time. In 1993, before an NBA final game between Chicago and Phoenix, Lewis proved he was not one of the greatest singers of all time. His rendition of the United States national anthem would have got him disqualified at the starting line had the anthem been an Olympic event.

Sean McCann calls Newfoundland home — in particular, Carbonear, a town of about 5,000, many of them fishermen and ship builders. Surrounded by the folk songs of the area, McCann eventually became a founding member of Great Big Sea, a band he stayed with for two decades before heading out on his own last year. He’s touring now, sharing the music he drew from realizing he had to face and overcome his demons. McCann is in Kamloops on Nov. 7 for a show at St. Andrews on the Square at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $28 and are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483.

What will future hold for roots, blues festival? BARB BROUWER
SALMON ARM OBSERVER
barbbrouwer@saobserver.net
It looks like commitment, careful spending and reshaping have crafted a future for the Roots and Blues Festival. Brenda M’Clellan secretary and member of the Salmon Arm Folk Music Society board, says that with a lot of hard work, it looks like the festival broke even this year — a far cry from the doom and gloom of a year ago. “In each of the areas, we’re above where we were in 2014, due to the city giving us extra money,” M’Clellan said, noting the society did get a gaming grant, but because there was no Routes and Blues this year, it was scaled back a bit. “But we had increased the raffle [price] so it provided us with additional funding and helped close the gap. Each raffle was $20 and it netted about $12,000.” M’Clellan said the improved financial picture is also thanks to in-kind sponsorship from the community. “We go out to the community and they responded in a wonderful way,” she said, pointing out in-kind sponsorship increased to $175,000 from the previous $100,000. “We offered them new opportunities and things to do, such as feeding the volunteers

as well as other products we get and adding shade . . . all of that put us ahead.” M’Clellan said about $100,000 was shaved from the budget. “We were able to turn things around; we’re still a bit challenged on the final bottom line and we do not have a positive net income,” she said noting the drop in the Canadian dollar was a huge issue as many of the artists are paid in U.S. dollars. “We have plans in place for the next three or four months and expect to be there next year.” M’Clellan referred to the new look at the festival that included buskers and clowns along with a slate of great performers. While credit for
the artist lineup goes to artistic director Peter North, many of the new innovations were thanks to David Gonella, who returned to the festival after a two-year absence. “I designed it to hide the stuff that we removed; my whole idea was that everywhere you looked, there was something to engage our patrons and we’re gonna build on that next year,” he said. “A lot of people said having fewer stages afforded people the opportunity to see more acts.” Gonella says his patron engagement plan was designed to remove the feeling that festivalgoers were walking through an outdoor mall on their way from one stage to another.
“This is really a team effort to make this happen; Peter [North] was on the same page — even the ideas I had like Levis,” said Gonella of hanging jeans to provide shade. “Peter was in agreement I think he just wondered how I was gonna do it.” Gonella spent over a decade as a director/producer in film in San Francisco and Vancouver, but said he never got enough work. Prior to returning to Roots and Blues, he was a guest co-ordinator of the Vancouver International Film Festival. “For me, I’ve heard nothing but positive comments about how smooth everything was operating,” he said, noting that even during set-up and teardown, people were
hanging out and enjoying themselves. “That was something that let me know ‘hey, we’re doing something right.’” Another indication people were happy was the Sunday night volunteer party was packed with between 300 and 400 people celebrating. “Generally, it was the kind of year that people were telling me before they left that they want to come back,” he said. Back in Edmonton, North said he is hearing the same kind of positive comments. “The ripple that I hear from other communities is that we did a bang-up job; people dug the presentation and improvements to the site,” he said, noting the comments are also coming in from the artistic directors of many other festivals who were here in August. “What I think, quite frankly, is that 90 per cent of the audience has gone away and told people ‘I’m going back again next year and you should come too.’” North says the great thing is the people who are shelling out the money are the ones saying those things rather than the organizers. “David and I have a killer relationship, we work well together,” he said, agreeing with Gonella that administrator Cindy Diotte rounds out the welloiled team.

Hot pink fundraiser grows with support
Pink streaks have created a red carpet — and a fundraiser to help grow cancer care for women in Kamloops. Jonni Yeomans, owner of Jonni’s Styling Studio, has held a Paint the City Pink fundraiser for three years giving temporary pink streaks, hair extensions and feathers to Kamloopsians, all for a donation that went to the Royal Inland Hospital cancer clinic. www.kamloopsdodge.com This year, however, the idea has grown and taken on a new direction with the Paint City of Kamloops the City Pink gala on Friday, Oct. 16, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, 339 St. Paul St. Yeomans, who has run Activity Programs Activity Programs her business downtown for ForCity registration please call (250) 828-3500 and please quote of Kamloops more than 30 years, said the program number provided.

She’s expecting to do more this year. With 44 businesses on board, the evening includes firefighters on the red carpet to welcome guests,
where guests can pose for free photographs by three professional camera people. It also features a fashion show, local wine and beer tasting,
appetizers, and a glass of Sagewood Winery’s rose. A no-host bar will be provided and music will be courtesy of the Margit Sky Project. There’s an auction with more than $10,000 worth of items up for bids, including weekends at Sun Peaks and a motor home rental. The cause is dear to her heart, Yeomans said; her husband is a three-time cancer survivor, her mother-in-law a survivor of breast cancer and she has clients who have won — and lost — their own cancer fights. “It’s great to give back,” Yeoman said. “It’s just blossomed into the most phenomenal event.” Tickets are $50 each, $90 for a couple. They are available at her salon at 147 Victoria St., above Peter’s Pasta, and at the DoubleTree.

Volunteer judges called the resort community “master planned” and “based on a sustainable vision.” It received a Five Bloom rating, special mention for floodcontrol planning and outstanding achievement in the Scotts Turf Builder Landscape Award category.

People project
Last year, Jennifer Jones and the social agencies behind Project Homeless Connect expected about 150 people to come to the event. At the end of the day, the Valleyview Overlanders Lions Club — charged with feeding everyone — had handed over 320 plates with hamburgers and hotdogs. This year, Jones is preparing for a similarly large crowd to come to Spirit Square in North Kamloops on Friday, Oct. 16, gathering at the corner of Mackenzie Avenue and Yew Street, where about three dozen agencies will meet to provide information aimed at the marginalized and those living on the street in Kamloops. Nurses will be on hand, hopefully with flu shots to provide vaccinations, Jones said. She’s still looking for volunteers to do hair cuts, nail and foot care, as well as a donation of an adult-sized bicycle to raffle off. Jones is also looking for local musicians to provide entertainment during the event, which runs from noon to 4 p.m. Anyone who can help is asked to contact Jones by phone at 250319-4550 or by email at kamloopsgurl@hotmail.com.

Week runs from Oct. 4 to Oct. 10 — and it will include a focus on the importance of working smoke alarms. According to Emergency Management BC, there is a need for working alarms in every bedroom as about half of all residential fire deaths occur between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., when people are asleep. Fire-preparedness activities at fire halls and schools across the province will take place over the next week. The awareness week, held across North America, is the longest-running public health and safety observance on record and falls on the anniversary of one of North America’s most significant fires — the 1871 Chicago fire. Fire Prevention Week aims to draw public awareness to fire safety and provides an opportunity to review evacuation plans, practice fire drills, test the batteries in fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors and ensure fire extinguishers are serviced and functioning. On average, one British Columbian is injured by fire every 44 hours and the Fire Chiefs’ Association of British Columbia research suggests fatality rates rise 74 per cent when a working smoke alarm is not present. An update to the BC Smoke Alarm movement report, initially released in October 2012, titled Smoke Alarms Work, But Not Forever: Revisited
states total deaths have dropped by nine per year between 2012 and 2014 as a result of present and working smoke alarms.

INCENTIVES IN WAKE OF SCANDAL THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Volkswagen Canada is offering incentives to attract customers and offset lost sales since its parent company admitted last month it cheated on government emission tests on diesel-engine models. Until Nov. 2, Volkswagen says it is offering a choice of lower finance rates, lower lease rates and cash incentives on select vehicles. “The incentives were implemented to support our customers and dealers during the period in which our TDI diesel sales remain suspended pending resolution of the recent EPA Notice [from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency],’’ VW Canada’s spokesman said in an email. The TDI diesel engines were available on a variety of Volkswagen models that accounted for nearly 22 per cent of VW Canada’s sales before Sept. 22, when the company told dealers to stop selling the models in question. “That figure is now lower, as all sales since have been of gasoline powered cars,’’ Volkswagen Canada said. Overall company sales were 5,128 in
Volkswagen is making changes after scamming the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
September, down 19.6 per cent from 6,381 in the same month a year ago and down almost 25 per cent from the 6,826 vehicles it sold in August. As of Oct. 1, VW Canada’s choice of incentives include finance interest rates as low as zero per cent for up to 84 months,
depending on the model. Alternatively, customers can opt for lease rates as low as 0.9 per cent for up to 48 months, depending on the model or up to $6,000 cash back. On top of those options, VW is offering up to an additional $1,500 in bonus cash.
The company declined to comment on a memo that was sent to its dealers. According to the Globe and Mail, the memo from Volkswagen Canada president Maria Stenstrom said: “The scale of these programs is unprecedented for Volkswagen in Canada,
but necessary and appropriate given the circumstances.’’ The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency disclosed last month that stealth software made VW’s 2009 to 2015 model cars powered by two-litre diesel engines run cleaner during emissions tests than in

actual driving. The fallout from that revelation has included investigations in other countries, class-action law suits against the company and a drop in VW’s stock price. Volkswagen Canada announced on Sept. 22 its dealers had been instructed to suspend
the sale and delivery of any new Golf, Golf Sportwagon, Jetta, Beetle or Passat models with 2.0 TDI engines until further notice. The order also applied to certain previously owned models from the 2009 model year or later, if equipped with the same engine.
In a recent survey of 2,461 Canadians, when or visits to a dealership, print and online newspapers rank highest. They outperform TV,
radio, magazines, autoTRADER, Kijiji and social media.
If you’re looking for better ROI from your advertising, perhaps more of your “I” should be in newspapers.

1939 ~ 2015
It is with sadness we announce the passing of Vilda Carol Thomas, at the age of 76 years, on September 26, 2015 in Vernon, British Columbia. Vilda was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on June 5, 1939. As a lover of her God, Jehovah, she was baptized at the age of 16 on August 8, 1955. She loved the simple things in life – family, friends, a good laugh along with big hugs. Vilda will be greatly missed and loved by her husband Edwin Thomas to whom she was married for 24 years; siblings Richard Thompson, Marjorie Sumner, Linda Oulette and Barb Mol; her children Joy Pitcher, Richard Hall and Betty Kent; 6 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren and extended family. She is predeceased by her parents Chester and Isabelle Thompson and her son, Ken Hall. A Memorial Service will be held at 1:00 p.m., Saturday, October 10, 2015 at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses (1424 Mission Road, Vernon). You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s on-line obituary @ www.MyAlternatives.ca. Cremation arrangements entrusted to
