KTW Candidate Profiles: Sept. 22: Matt Greenwood, Green Sept. 24: Cathy McLeod, Conservative Today: Steve Powrie, Liberal Sept. 29: Bill Sundhu, New Democrat

Q: What was the last book you read?

A: “Common Ground by Justin Trudeau.”

Q: Favourite song?

A: “Dialogue by Chicago.”

Q: Greatest Canadian Prime Minister?

A: “Lester Pearson. He was the one who generally created policy that was good for Canada, like universal health care, the 40-hour work week and minimum wage — a lot of the things that

define Canada today.”

Q: Your favourite elementary school subject?

A: “Music and social studies.”

Q: “Who would you vote for if you couldn’t vote for yourself?

A: It’d be a toss-up between Bill [Sundhu, NDP] and Matt [Greenwood, Green].

“Bill, because now that they’ve moved more to the centre, they’re more in line with my attitudes. Matt, because I love that mosquito buzzing about.”

Even if it weren’t on his candidate website, it wouldn’t be too hard to guess at Steve Powrie’s day job.

Whether the Liberal candidate is using the word “microcosm” multiple times during opening statements at a candidates’ debate, glasses perched on the end of his nose, or bemoaning the state of modern Ottawa, Powrie’s years at the front of a classroom come through loud and clear.

A longtime elementary and band teacher at Aberdeen elementary, Powrie also teaches future teachers at Thompson Rivers University about global media.

And, when explaining his decision to run for a seat in the House of Commons, it’s those students he comes back to again and again.

“What I talk to my TRU students about is every single person that walks through that door, you’re an advocate for,” he said. “Whether there are behaviour issues or learning difficulties or they’re from a different country.”

Powrie said it’s the same principle he’d like to bring to the role of MP, a position he thinks should be more about advocating for the public than following a party line.

“I think too often governments tell us what’s best for us from their perspective, which is often self-serving, no matter what party it is,” he said.

More comfortable in “the grey area,” Powrie believes his party is most likely to make decisions based on the facts of the day and available evidence, rather than via left or right wing politics — again, the way his students would in the classroom.

“Education’s all about collaboration, about finding the context of issues, looking for solutions, problemsolving,” he said.

While he worked a Liberal campaign in his teens, Powrie said he was attracted to the party as much for its current difficulties as its past record. With only 36 seats in the House of Commons when the writ dropped, the party won’t have many entrenched politicians to send to Ottawa.

Powrie hopes a reversal of Liberal fortunes could see a group of fresh faces in Parliament who share his views on decision-making and advocacy.

“Sometimes when you’re at the bottom of the barrel it’s — I won’t say easier because it’s a huge challenge — but there aren’t any sort of preconceptions about what you’re doing,” he said.

“It’s almost like a fresh playing field.”

LOCAL NEWS Various past events have seen supporters and protesters of the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine that KGHM wants to operate south of Aberdeen. On Monday night at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, the City of Kamloops is holding a meeting to allow the public to give suggestions on what the city’s consultants should focus on when reviewing KGHM’s application to government.

City wants your queries on Ajax ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Do you have questions on the proposed Ajax mine?

The City of Kamloops wants to know what they are.

The first of what will likely be many meetings on KGHM’s proposed copper and gold mine will be held on Monday, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Convention Centre, 1250 Rogers Way in Aberdeen.

Public works director Jen Fretz said staff will begin the meeting with an overview of questions the city is already planning to have SLR Consulting answer when it goes over KGHM’s application for environmental review, which was filed with federal and provincial authorities earlier this month.

Fretz said many of the questions come from letters written by council in 2011 and 2012, which include concerns about groundwater and slope stability in Aberdeen and the project’s impact on Kamloops’ Tournament Capital branding.

“We’re going to be asking some around safety of the tailings facility. What happens if there’s a breach? What happens to Peterson Creek? Goose Lake will be gone — what does that mean?” Fretz said.

The proposed mine is south of Aberdeen.

Following the presentation,

residents will have three minutes each to suggest questions to the city via an open mic.

Fretz said the city hopes to fill in any gaps in its review.

“Where are we missing something? Help us round out what that list looks like,” she said.

While SLR’s work is being funded via a $300,000 payment to the city by proponent KGHM, the company won’t have a corporate presence at Monday’s meeting.

KGHM spokesman Robert Koopmans said the city asked the company not to set up a booth, hand out pamphlets or make a presentation at the meeting.

“It’s their show,” he said.

Several anti-Ajax groups, while planning to send members, also said they’re not planning to make a major showing at the meeting.

“This is an opportunity for individuals to come forward and ask their questions. You’re not going to see a bunch of us there wearing hats that say Stop Ajax or anything like that,” said Cindy Ross-Friedman, a spokesperson for the Coalition of Concerned Community Groups, five antiAjax organizations that have raised money to conduct their own review of the mine.

KTW asked some groups with varying opinions on the mine what questions they would put to the city: • Kamloops Area Preservation Association: Group spokes-

man John Schleiermacher said the city needs to consider the mine’s effects on Aberdeen, where much of Kamloops’ future expansion is expected to happen.

“What about all the money that’s been spent on infrastructure for new growth in the south part of the city?” he said.

• Kamloops Chamber of Commerce: Chamber president Steve Earl said the city should focus on immediate impacts to residents and businesses, such as dust, noise, light pollution and water.

“The economics are pretty clear — it will create a lot of jobs if it goes through,” he said.

“But, there is the other side that definitely needs the consideration.”

• Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment: Spokeswoman Dr. Jill Calder said her group thinks the city’s meeting comes too late and won’t be trying to direct the review.

“They’ve had three-plus years knowing that this day would be coming,” she said.

“They wrote letters in 2011 and ‘12 and ‘13 that went relatively unanswered. The consultants could have been hired much earlier on city dollars budgeted by the city.”

The physicians’ group is instead working on its own assessment with other community groups that will focus on short- and long-term health implications for residents.

Conservation officers are investigating a moose shot and abandoned in the Lac Le Jeune area.

Kevin Van Damme, a conservation officer based in Kamloops, said there is no lawful season for hunting moose in this region until Nov. 1, other than for First Nations hunters.

public roads.

Under provincial legislation, if private land owners have fenced their land and placed notices indicating private property at obvious entry points, it is up to the hunter to determine if they are on public lands.

Van Damme said a message conservation officers are trying to get out this year is for hunters to report honest mistakes rather than fleeing when they

realize they’ve shot the wrong animal.

“We really encourage hunters to selfreport . . . When someone makes an honest mistake, we treat it that way.”

If hunters kill the wrong animal, Van Damme said, they are supposed to report it to authorities and process meat in the normal way. Once cleared by conservation officers, the meat is given to needy families.

per cent of the first step in the 28-step wage grid that exists for faculty in tenure — their hiring is permanent — and the union wants this changed.

Chief negotiator John Turner said in January being offered $5,200 to teach one course on a contract basis would not encourage many potential faculty to move to Kamloops.

Friedman said earlier this year another goal is to see faculty take on a greater role running the university, something he said it was promised when TRU was created a decade ago.

The university’s bargaining proposals, as posted on its website, include a five-year term to remain in compliance with the provincial government’s mandate to tie wage increases to the strength of the province’s economy, as determined by the Economic Forecast Council.

The university also wants an accountability pay model tied to annual performance criteria and new methods to address workloads.

Faculty at Thompson Rivers University is ready to take a strike vote.

Under the rules that govern the TRU Faculty Association (TRUFA), members must pass a motion granting a strike mandate — which it did on Wednesday night — that gives the bargaining committee the ability to call for a strike vote.

TRUFA president Tom Friedman said much concern was expressed at the meeting on issues at the university.

Friedman called the discussion healthy, adding he expects it “will clarify TRUFA’s resolve.”

The mandate is seen as membership supporting the bargaining committee and the contract language it has tabled, as well as giving the committee leverage to try to reach an agreement.

TRU vice-president advancement Christopher Seguin said

the university respects the union processes, but said discussion of a strike is premature.

He said TRU has a strike contingency plan in place.

“We will do whatever we can to minimize the effects this may have on our students.”

Seguin said the hope is to bargain an agreement “that is sustainable and beneficial to all our stakeholders.”

The two sides met again yesterday and have another bargaining session planned for next Friday.

TRUFA notified the university in January it was ready to bargain a contract to replace the one that expired on March 31, 2014. That contract had been in effect for a year. It has been bargaining for 7.5 months, a process Friedman described in an email to faculty as “fruitless.”

In January, Friedman said one of the key issues would be changing the way the university hires academic staff on contracts. Those faculty are paid 80

Award-winning integration RAJINDER LOTAY: ‘I WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO FEEL AT HOME’ DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Rajinder Lotay and her family never thought they would become refugees.

Then, Idi Amin became president of Uganda and, suddenly, she was leaving behind her home, her friends and fleeing the brutality Amin brought to the African country.

As Lotay fled, she was limited to bringing with her 200 kilograms of her family’s possessions.

It’s that history that has guided Lotay in her job as the settlementintegration co-ordinator with Kamloops Immigrant Services, doing work that has seen her recognized by the Affiliation of Multicultural Societies and Service Agencies.

In awarding Lotay a service award, the B.C. organization noted two initiatives she brought to

the Kamloops region — a mobile mammogram clinic and parenting programs.

The clinic came from the knowledge two women in Kamloops had breast cancer. Lotay said she realized that, for many newcomers to the city, the idea of going to the Columbia Street mammogram clinic was difficult to understand.

To address it, Lotay arranged for nurses to set up a clinic in a bus that would travel to the Sikh temples, locations the mainly Punjabispeaking women would feel comfortable.

The clinic was held every six months, but is no longer used, Lotay said, because the women have grown comfortable with the idea of regular checkups and are able to go to the clinic across from the hospital.

Some of them still call her to make their appointments, however, something Lotay said she

understands because they trust her to guide them through the realities of their new hometown.

The parenting program was created to deal with many family issues as newcomers to the area adjusted.

“You want to belong somewhere,” she said.

“So, how do you do that?”

The answer was to create a series of workshops to help children, youth, adults and seniors adapt to the Canadian — and Kamloopsian — way of life.

Lotay drew on her own experiences to develop the workshops.

The family first lived in Fernie.

“We were the second brown family there,” she said, noting newcomers were immediately accepted.

Neighbours brought them food when they first moved onto the cul-de-sac that was their new home and helped

Future farmers at the Ranch The city has set aside land at the Tournament Capital Ranch in Rayleigh for future farmers.

City planner Maren Luciani said the farm incubator program, a partnership with Community Futures of Thompson Country, is targeting the 2017 growing season for start-up. Small farm plots will be available to aspiring farmers. It will also include mentorship and sharing of resources, such as equipment.

Five hectares of land will be leased for a token fee to Community Futures for its farm incubator program.

The land has the capability of Class

1 or 2 soils, among the best in the province. It will also have access to a water connection provided by the city.

“We have some land improvement to do,” Luciani said. “We need to bring in top soil to enhance the land.”

That will entail replacing topsoil removed from the former Rayleigh prison camp land, as well as fencing the property. Plots leased to new farmers are expected to be one to two acres in size.

Luciani said about 10 people have signed up for the program, while others are interested in being mentors.

Lotay plan her days, introduce her son and daughter to the community, drive them to skating and other activities — even help with the laundry as Lotay had a washing machine, but no dryer.

One of her first experiences after moving to Kamloops wasn’t as friendly. Lotay said she was driving her son and a friend home and, once there, found a police officer at her door.

Someone had seen Lotay and her son with a white child in the car and called the police to report it as suspicious.

“That’s why I love this job,” she said. “I want other people to feel at home. This is their home now. I want them to feel this is their home. There are more similarities between people than there are differences.”

VIEWPOINT

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK is a politically independent newspaper, published Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 1365B Dalhousie Dr. in Kamloops, B.C. V2C 5P6 Ph: 250-374-7467 | Fax: 250-374-1033 e-mail: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops This Week is owned by Thompson River Publications Partnership Limited

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:

HOT: The annual Thompson Rivers University Sports Task Force Breakfast and all those who attended yesterday’s event.

The goal is to raise $75,000 for student athletics at TRU, an amount that will be matched, dollar for dollar, by the university.

Also announced yesterday was an aggressive plan to raise $1 million over the next five years to ensure the teams and athletes at the university are properly funded as they aim for excellence on the field and in the classroom.

NOT: The value of the battered loonie.

The Canadian dollar fell to about US74 cents this week, which was the lowest it has tumbled in about 11 years.

We seem to recall a Canuck buck at US65 cents in the mid-1990s as being a factor in the NHL’s Winnipeg Jets and Quebec Nordiques moving south of the border.

While the weak dollar may curb travel of Canadians to the U.S. and will likely result in higher prices at the grocery store, businesses such as Sun Peaks Resort and companies that export probably don’t mind the golden bird’s dive.

OUR

VIEW

HOT: The work of Rajinder Lotay and her team at Kamloops Immigrant Services.

The agency’s settlement-integration co-ordination has been honoured with the Affiliation of Multicultural Societies and Service Agencies service award for her tremendous work in helping newcomers embrace Kamloops as their home.

She is good at it — after all, she was once a newcomer to the city.

Read her inspiring story on page A7.

A numbers game all around

T

he business case for the proposed performing-arts centre has a lot of numbers projecting millions of dollars in economic impact and percentages in the hundreds when it comes to return on investment.

For example, the report, which can be read online at kamloopsthisweek.com/PACbizcase, states the $91-million arts centre and underground parkade will result in an annual economic impact in Kamloops of $11.1 million by Year 5 ($5.9 million through spending on goods and services and $4.9 million in salaries).

That does not mean the city or its taxpaying residents — who will be paying an extra $38 to $40 in property taxes for 20 years to fund the project — will be receiving money from the endeavour’s operations.

The business report’s economic impact deals with a much broader definition of economic impact and includes direct impact (salaries and concession sales at the centre, for example); indirect impact (more tourism revenue and increased business sales downtown); and induced economic impact (increased household spending of income as a result of income earned from arts centre operations).

Again, the 93-page report is full of numbers and assumptions and estimates and projections.

What it does not have, what it cannot have, is definitive data on precisely what economic impact the centre will have on Kamloops.

It may be a boon.

It may be a boondoggle.

Consider the estimated $91- million budget for the centre itself.

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS That figure may be off by 25 per cent either way as construction budgets and the final tally are notoriously unstable everywhere.

So, the project may cost $91 million, or $114 million, or $68 million.

I don’t mind an extra $40 per year on my property-tax bill if the performing-arts centre and parkade come in close to what is budgeted.

From viewing the drawings, it is a stunning vision and would add to the downtown core.

Despite the fact I feel the pain of every small increase in taxes and fees levied by city hall, the legislature and Parliament, the tax hit as it stands now is something I can accept.

The problem is, there are many people in Kamloops for whom an extra $40 may be a back-breaker, coupled as it will be with increases in the coming years in so many areas — ICBC, BC Hydro, city water and sewage rates, school property taxes, MSP premiums, etc.

And, my acceptance starts and ends with the $91-million budget and the estimated tax hit of about $40 a year.

If those projections rise dra-

matically, I suspect I will not be alone in my changed view of the project.

Contributing to that concern is a major 2012 University of Chicago study that took five years to complete.

It looked at more than 700 building projects involving performing-arts centres, museums and theatres between 1994 and 2008, and included interviews with more than 500 organizations.

Some of the economic findings after the fact, after the estimates and budgets made before construction began, are sobering: • Eighty per cent of the projects studied ran over-budget, some by as much as 200 per cent; • Budgets for performing-arts centres escalated, on average, by 62 per cent from the initial proposal to completion; • More often than not, community need for the performingarts centre was not accurately determined. A large majority of arts centres used economicimpact arguments as rationale for building, yet nine times out of 10, the assumption that the centre would attract and sustain a substantial audience was not accurately tested and the desired swarm of activity did not materialize.

Granted, the University of Chicago study involved hundreds of cultural facilities across the United States, not in Canada, and the financial dynamics are specific to each city and region.

However, it is worth keeping our eyes on all the numbers if voters approve the project on Nov. 7. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

MULTIPLE VARIETIES OF TREE, NOT ALL NUISANCE Editor: Re: (‘Tree of ‘Hell’ plagues Kamloops’; Sept.

22.)

Pat Haggard must have a different variety of tree than I have. According to Wikipedia, there are at least three, including male and female with difference characteristics.

My tree was planted by a friend around 1990 after the city cut down all the trees along the river and slough by McArthur Island prior to enlarging the dike and putting in the Rivers Trail.

The tree was about three feet high when our

friend planted it in front of our kitchen window.

After about five or six years, the tree finally had a couple of blooms — small sprays of pale green flowers, followed by tiny green seeds no bigger than a capital ‘O’.

The tree is now about 15 feet high and, each spring, the sprays of flowers appear and tiny birds come to eat the seeds.

There has never been a brown seed pod or any smell of any sort.

We enjoy the coolness of its shade and the many birds that perch on its branches.

There has never been a sucker root or another seedling come from it.

Two other trees I would add to the two mentioned in the article are the Russian Olive and Manitoba Maple.

Both of these trees are beginning to take over

our river bank areas and, in some cases, are displacing our natural urban forests.

ART STRANGELY DEVALUED IN OUR SOCIETY Editor: I’ve been watching the back and forth of the “yes” and “no” campaign for the proposed performing-arts centre (PAC) and parkade.

My opinion comes from angles other than economic ones. I’m an artsy-fartsy kind of person and attend as many art events as I can, so I admit to being biased about art.

But, there is no shortage of others sitting in the theatre seats.

I’ve concluded that, for many of us, art is vital to the quality of our lives — art of all genres.

United Way names new executive director DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The United Way Thompson-NicolaCariboo has looked inside itself to find a new executive director.

Danalee Baker is moving from her position as director of community impact into the position Brenda Aynsley held for the past 11 years.

Aynsley took a position with the Lower Mainland United Way in September as its vice-president for resource development.

Baker, who joined the United Way in 2008, has been involved with the John Tod Centre, the Homelessness Action Plan, Elizabeth Fry Society’s secondstage housing and the Kamloops Rent Bank.

She has also worked with community-impact councils throughout the region.

Baker said she

Danalee Baker (at left in this file photo with United Way board chairman Jason Fawcett (centre) and Thompson Rivers University president Alan Shaver), is the new executive director of the United Way Thompson-Nicola-Cariboo.

joined the organization because she has always wanted to be an integral part of the community.

“And, I found a place to do that with the United Way,” she said.

Baker said she learned plenty from Aynsley personally and professionally during the past seven years.

While she acknowledged she has big shoes to fill — under Aynsley’s direction, the United Way grew in fundraising ability and scope — Baker said she has “well-worn shoes, too.”

United Way board chairman Jason Fawcett said an intensive search for an executive director resulted

in applications from across the country.

“The decision to appoint Danalee as executive director was a unanimous decision by our board,” Fawcett said. “She has the ability to inspire staff and volunteers to raise funds, as well as a deep knowledge of the issues in our community and region.”

The Kelowna Rockets are not expected to be the team they were last season, but they remain favoured to claim the B.C. Division championship in 2015-2016.

Kelowna begins its WHL championship defence tonight against the Kamloops Blazers in the Little Apple, with the rematch scheduled for tomorrow at the Sandman Centre.

Game time is 7 p.m.

KTW has been taking a look ahead at the campaign in a five-part preseason series (available online at kamloopsthisweek.com) that wraps up today with a story on head coach Don Hay, who’s entering his second year back behind the Kamloops bench. The story is part of a 12-page Blazers’ insert that begins on D1.

Lineup notes

Deven Sideroff, one of the Blazers’ mostdangerous offensive threats, will not play tonight or tomorrow against Kelowna.

The 18-year-old forward is recovering from a virus.

Both forward Matt Revel, 19, and defenceman Conner McDonald, 16, will miss the weekend games due to upper-body injuries.

Sideroff (Anaheim), defenceman Ryan Rehill (New Jersey), 20, and goaltender Connor Ingram (Detroit), 18, returned to Kamloops from NHL camps in time for the WHL season.

“We’re introducing Winning Wednesdays,” Chyzowski said. “We have nine Wednesday games this year.

“If we win any of them — hopefully the first one and all of them after that — everybody in the building gets a free ticket for the next Wednesday game.

“We’re trying something new and we’re really excited about it.”

The annual Party

on the Plaza will launch Zimmer Autogroup Home Opener Night tomorrow, when the Kelowna Rockets are in town to play Kamloops.

Fans are invited to the plaza in front of the Sandman Centre between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. to partake in family-friendly activities.

The Blazers are donating 1,000 pops and 1,000 hot dogs and Safeway representatives will be on hand to help serve the food and beverages.

Safeway Breast Cancer Night is Oct. 23, Teddy Bear Night is Dec. 5, Hockey Day in Canada is Feb. 6 and Fan Appreciation Night is March 18.

Chyzowski teased a surprise event that will be held on March 4,

when the Rockets are in town.

Canada looking to rebound against Italy at Rugby World Cup NEIL DAVIDSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Kieran Crowley has made six changes to his starting lineup against Italy as Canada looks to bounce back from a lopsided opening loss to Ireland at the Rugby World Cup. Both Canada, ranked 18th in the world, and No. 15 Italy are 0-1-0 after weekend losses.

Despite some good patches of play, the Canadians were put to the sword 50-7 by No. 5 Ireland while an inconsistent Italy was beaten 32-10 by No. 7 France With three games in 11 days, Crowley has to manage his squad, although Rugby Canada calls tomorrow’s lineup the strongest available.

Injuries have robbed Crowley of three backs with fly half Liam Underwood out for the tournament with a chipped bone in his leg. Scrum half Gord McRorie (shoulder) and winger Jeff Hassler (calf) sit out with minor injuries.

One of the Canadian tournament goals is securing qualification for the next World Cup, which can be achieved by finishing third in its pool. Crowley has said that means two wins, with No. 15 Italy and No. 17 Romania the likeliest targets.

That won’t be easy.

The Canadians are 2-5-0 against Italy, which has won the last four meetings between the two. Canada’s wins came in 1983 and 2000.

Sky Bet has Canada as an 8-1 underdog, meaning a $100 bet will return a profit of $800.

The point spread is 17 points in favour of Italy.

Canada is boosted by the return of captain Tyler Ardron, who strained his medial collateral ligament July 29 against Samoa.

“He’s a very athletic player . . . We’re expecting him to contribute around the field,’’ said Crowley. “It’s his first game back for a little while so he’s probably going to be a little bit rusty but certainly we’re expecting an impact from him. He’s chomping at the bit.’’

The lanky forward should help the Canadians take on the physical Italians in the scrum and lineout at Elland Road in Leeds, England.

Kickoff is 6:30 a.m. in the Pacific time zone.

“If we can combat that and match that, I think we’ll be in with a better-than-good chance, even,’’ Ardron said.

He is joined in the back row by fellow newcomer Nanyak Dala and incumbent John Moonlight as Crowley opts to go with two

open-side flankers.

Crowley believes the duo will help Canada blunt Italy’s drive.

Forward Jebb Sinclair moves from the bench to join Jamie Cudmore in a vastly experienced, physical lock pairing.

Canada sticks with a front row of Hubert Buydens, Ray Barkwill and Doug Wooldridge against an Italian pack that was dominated by the French.

Aaron Carpenter and Kyle Gilmour shift to the bench while lock Brett Beukeboom drops out of the matchday 23.

Jamie Mackenzie replaces McRorie at scrum half, with brother Phil Mackenzie retaining his spot on the wing.

The Mackenzies are set to become the first set of Canadian brothers to start a World Cup match together. Props Mike and Dan Pletch played in all of Canada’s games at the 2007 World Cup but came off the bench each time.

The Mackenzies are one of 10 brother pairings at this year’s tournament.

Connor Braid comes in for centre Nick Blevins. Harry Jones, who had been nursing a shoulder injury, starts on the bench. Nathan Hirayama remains at fly half, taking over kicking duties from McRorie.

Blue Jays hot ticket in TO THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Over two decades of pent-up demand for playoff baseball in Toronto was unleashed on the Internet and phone lines yesterday as Blue Jays fans snapped up postseason tickets.

Wild-card and American League Division Series single-game tickets went on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Eastern time. By 11:40 a.m., the Jays tweeted the ALDS tickets were sold out and only limited options for a potential wild-card game remained.

Tickets were only available for purchase online and by phone.

Jays playoff tickets have already appeared on secondary-market sites, and at a premium price. Single tickets on the 500 level, originally priced

at $50, were selling for around $200.

Playoff baseball in Toronto for the first time since the Jays won the World Series in 1993 is almost a guarantee. The Blue Jays had a three-and-a-half game lead over New York atop the American League East entering yesterday’s action with just over a week left in the season.

Even if Toronto imploded and lost the division race with the Yankees, the Blue Jays would be a virtual lock to host the American League wild-card game. Toronto is six-and-a-half games up on Houston, which currently sits in the second wild-card spot.

The Jays said single-game tickets for the American League Championship Series will go on sale Oct. 7, while World Series tickets will be available starting Oct. 22.

Curran grateful for opportunity with Lions JOSHUA CLIPPERTON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

SURREY — Rennie Curran is already hearing it from his former teammates. Those chirps from the Edmonton Eskimos could get a lot louder very soon.

The free-agent linebacker signed with the B.C. Lions this week and says he’s ready to go if his new club needs him against his old one at Commonwealth Stadium tomorrow.

“I talked to a bunch of the guys (on Edmonton). They all know that I’m over here,’’ the 26-yearold said with a smile. “It’s a real small network of guys in the CFL.’’ A third-round pick of the Tennessee Titans in 2010, Curran

BLUE JAYS CONTROL OWN DESTINY

spent the last two seasons with the Eskimos, amassing 123 defensive tackles, two sacks and two interceptions in 34 games.

“It’s definitely going to be weird,’’ said the native of Snellville, Ga. “Just looking at the film as an enemy, as opposed to preparing for another team is definitely strange — seeing my guys who I became close with, knowing I’m going to have to go up against them.

“I know there’s going to be a lot of smack talking, but it’s going to be fun as well.’’

Curran decided to try his luck at landing an NFL job when his contract expired with Edmonton after last season, but when nothing materialized he looked north TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays are in control of their own destiny in the American League East.

They are the favourites to win the division title and are a virtual lock to make their first playoff appearance in 22 years.

• PRICE POSITION: The Blue Jays acquired ace David Price at the trade

of the border for work once again.

“It’s been really hard. I got tired of looking at weights,’’ he said.

“I’ve been working out with other free agents, just staying motivated, working as if I’m going to get a call the next day. I’m glad that I did stay ready because the opportunity did present itself and now I’m ready to go.’’

Curran joins a Lions defence that was already struggling before it lost standout linebacker Solomon Elimimian to a torn Achilles tendon last month.

B.C. (4-7) heads into the tilt against Edmonton (8-4) secondlast in total yards allowed per game at 399.6 while giving up an average of nearly 29 points.

The Lions also rank at the

deadline to handle big games over the playoff push in the second half.

With an 8-1 record and 1.95 earned-run average since joining Toronto, he has come as advertised.

If the Blue Jays fall into a wild-card position, Price could be used in the Oct. 6 game on five days rest.

But, it’s much more likely

bottom of the league by a wide margin in rushing yards against (127.6) and are third-worst against the pass (272.0).

“He played really well when he was up here. He had a great career at (the University of Georgia) and was very wellrespected by our coaches who used to evaluate him and play against him,’’ said Lions head coach Jeff Tedford.

“He’s a guy who brings a lot to the table, a lot of skill, a very good player. We’re anxious to increase the learning curve for him so he can be a part of what we’re doing.’’

Lions running back Andrew Harris said he’s glad the fivefoot-11 230-pound Curran is on his side now after having to face

they’ll take the East title and start him in the ALDS opener on Oct. 8.

• REST EASIER: The 162-game regular season is a long one and any time off around this time of year is precious.

The Yankees have games scheduled every day until their finale Oct. 4.

The Blue Jays got a

him the last two years.

“He’s definitely a house. You just look at him, he’s a monster,’’ said Harris. “Hopefully he can help us out and get in quickly and make some plays.’’

It’s unclear whether that will happen this weekend, but Curran is eager to help B.C. snap a twogame slide as it battles for a playoff spot in the West Division.

“Just from the little bit that I’ve watched, the morale is still high,’’ he said.

“Obviously, the record’s not where everybody wants it to be, but the record doesn’t always represent the true effort and true form of the team.

“I’m hoping I can add some leadership and a little bit of spark on defence.’’

break before kicking off their last home series against Tampa Bay tonight.

• POWER PLAY: Toronto’s offence has cooled a bit of late but the team should still finish first in several offensive categories this season.

The Blue Jays lead the major leagues in runs scored, home runs, slug-

ging percentage and OPS. • ALDS PLANS: If the Blue Jays win the division, expect Price to work two games with Dickey and Marcus Stroman likely to get starts as well.

If that happens, the Jays would then have to decide whether to go with Marco Estrada or Buehrle for the remaining nod. /CP

 Obituaries & In Memoriam  SHEENA JANETTE FROMENT July 20, 1939 - September 22, 2015 After a long and courageous battle with Alzheimers Disease, Sheena chose a sunny fall day to start the next leg of her journey.

The Angel On Your Shoulder

By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin

There’s an angel on your shoulder Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care.

There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul.

She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side.

In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right.

In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light.

Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder.

DARCY ANTHONY ROBINSON

GEORGE ANDRIASHYK George was born to George and Anne Andriashyk of Willingdon, Alberta. He leaves behind to cherish his memory, his loving wife Bella, sons Douglas (Edna), Brian (Kathie), grandchildren Kelly, Ashley, Karri (Jason), Stacie (Chris), Hollie (Rick), Bobbie (Mike), great-grandchildren Donnie, Symone, Emily, Jai Lynn, Sarah and Isaac. Bella’s children, Anthony and Trish, their children, Vladimyr and Oksana, Wayne (Carie), Wayne’s children, Stephanie (Steve), Chantelle (Mike) and son Owen.

George was predeceased by his parents George and Anne, brothers, Mike, Steve, Nick, John, Ed, Bill and sister Mary, also nephews Wade, Charles, Eddie, and nieces Vida and Jeanette, granddaughter Jamie.

George went on to get an education in accounting, but found accounting was not for him, so he went on to become a mechanic. Over the years as a mechanic, he owned businesses or worked for major automobile dealers.

In his younger days, George liked to water ski. After his skiing days were over, he went on to fishing. Together, George and Bella travelled to many different lakes, until one day George decided he wanted a seasonal spot at Sunny Shore Fishing Resort by White Lake where they enjoyed fishing together for 10 plus years and met many wonderful friends, who appointed George Mayor. When George wasn’t fishing, he was busy in the work shop building a china cabinet for his daughterin-law or a cabinet for Bella’s salt and pepper shaker collection. He built many items that the grandchildren loved to receive from little tables to treasure chests. All this got put on hold when George’s health began failing. Now all we have are treasured memories.

George was a member for many years of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. He spent many hours cutting grass, fixing water sprinklers, and built several items for the church.

How nice to have had George a part of our lives.

The Prayer Service will be held at 7:00 pm on Thursday, September 24, 2015 in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, 1044 - 8th St, Kamloops.

The Funeral Service will be held at 10:00 am on Friday, September 25, 2015 in the Church. After the Graveside Service, a memorial dinner will be held back at the Church.

Donations in George’s memory, to the charity of your choice, would be appreciated in lieu of flowers.

Drake Smith, MSW Your Cremation Expert Q: What about dentures?

A: Most families want their loved one to have their dentures in for cremation. With respect, I’d request that this not be done. Dentures melt under heat and “contaminate the cremated remains,” according to crematorium technicians.

Pacemakers, of course, must also be removed before cremation. Please call/drop by for more information.

he tragic picture of Aylan Kurdi lying dead on the Turkish beach has one silver lining.

It has spurred the world to action in speeding up the longawaited migrantresettlement process.

Kurdi’s dad lost two of his precious sons and a wife. Even then, he undertook the trip to his native Qubani in Syria to bury the sons in their homeland.

Reading the touching anecdote reminded me of a Jewish dad who was about to give up his only one son, not because of migrant escapade, but under God-honouring compulsion.

But, in the nick of time, this lad’s life was spared.

This mobile and migrant dad was Abraham, the affluent patriarch who had his priorities straight.

Abraham’s prosperity didn’t take him away from God to look for safer and secure pastures in faroff lands.

Every time he moved and pitched his tent, he also built an altar to the One under whose direction he was voyaging.

Talking about his nomadic life, the writer of the Book of Hebrews says: “Because he looked for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.” Abraham sought a new world, more stable and much more eternal than Western Europe or North American shores, as

You Gotta Have FAITH his family’s permanent refuge.

One day a test came to him when God told him: “Take thy son and offer a sacrifice of him.”

And, as if to rub into him precisely what He was asking, God added: “Thine only son, Isaac.”

That name reminded Abraham of his son of promise.

God had promised that through Isaac the world would be blest some day and the redeemer of mankind would come in his line.

God said to Abraham,: “Make an offering out of him.

I am not asking you just to take him up on top of a mountain and stab him to death.

“I’m asking you to do it as a religious act of devotion, of worship, of adoration, of love towards me.

“It has to be a religious exercise. You are to make a real service out of it with the right attitude of heart.”

The Bible tells us that when Abraham heard that, the very next morning he started on his way.

That’s how quick he was to obey God. God came before

his family and before his children.

If the meaning of that is properly understood, it won’t bring problems; it would only bring blessings to our families and our children.

So, Abraham went up to that mountain, without wavering.

And what had God promised?

It’s that through the son who was about to be sacrificed, the whole world was going to be blessed.

Jesus was going to come down in his line.

Now comes this paradoxical, contradictory command in which God said: “Put him on an altar and make him an offering.”

Without hesitation, Abraham went up to the mountain where this was to take place.

Hebrews, chapter 11, gives a beautiful insight into this story where it says: “By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac . . . accounting that God was able to raise him up even from the dead.”

Do we get the picture?

The late V. Raymond Edman, president of Wheaton College, used to say: “Never doubt in the dark what God has promised you in the light.”

In the light, God said: “Abraham, Isaac is the man through whom the Messiah would come into the world.”

And, when darkness came, Abraham held on to that promise and must have said: “Dear God, I believe you.

“And I take my son up there and you allow me to take his life. You are going to have to raise him from the dead because I am holding you to your word.”

How’s that for real faith?

Abraham had his priorities straight:

Fathers, “garndpas, let us remind ourselves we are the priests of the families we represent .

”

God first Not like Eli, the high priest, the sweet old man who helped Samuel find the Lord.

God told him one time: “Eli, you prefer your sons above me because, when they do evil, you don’t restrain them.”

Eli’s sons, who were also priests, were tampering with offerings of the temple. This was a serious offence because those offerings pre-pictured Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.

The boys tampered with offerings of the Lord and, beyond that, they committed immorality with women worshippers in the precinct of God’s temple.

And, instead of tearing their priestly robes off, all Eli would say was: “Naughty, naughty. Daddy wishes you won’t do that.”

Eli’s priorities were mixed up. God said: “You prefer your sons above me.”

Fathers, grandpas, let us remind ourselves we are the priests of the families we represent.

And, it’s our job to raise children and grandchildren as His followers no matter what the cost may be.

The annual Kidney Walk attracts young and old and mascots alike, as was the case at the 2013 event, Kidney Walk, where Jaida Fraser met Digger.

LAST CHANCE FOR OUR 2015 CIVICS

Join Kidney Walk Sunday TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Dale Calibaba missed out on being honoured earlier this month at the end of his cross-Canada ride to raise awareness about kidney disease, but he’ll be recognized this weekend.

The 47-year-old Kamloops man’s cycling journey from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island ended in the Tournament Capital in late August when health problems prevented him from going any further.

For the previous three months, Calibaba had been biking for six to eight hours a day and undergoing dialysis at night in order to cross Canada.

He was slated to be recognized by dignitaries in Victoria on Sept. 3, but he couldn’t make it.

So, Calibaba will be the honouree at the 2015 Kamloops Kidney Walk.

“It’s a nice honour, for them to ask me to be the honouree,” he told KTW. “Anything to be able to promote kidney registration, which is one of the reasons I wanted to ride across Canada.”

Registration for the Kidney Walk gets underway at 10 a.m. on Sunday in McDonald Park in North Kamloops.

The walk itself — a 2.5-kilometre route along the Rivers Trail to McArthur Island — starts at 11 a.m.

The Kidney Walk is one of the biggest events of the year for the Kamloops branch of the Kidney Foundation of Canada.

“It’s extremely important,” said Edna Humphreys, an executive officer with the group.

“It’s one of the most important fundraisers that the Kidney Foundation has.”

Calibaba said he plans to finish his cross-Canada ride next June.

COMMUNITY Kamloops Boys and Girls Club executive director Traci Anderson (in July 2014 file photo with Kamloops YMCA-YWCA CEO Colin Reid during construction phase at John Tod Centre) has helped the club grow to the point where it is today an anchor tenant in the centre. The club of Kamloops is celebrating its 60th anniversary today at the centre with a casual and fun barbecue and games from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

CELEBRATING 60 YEARS JESSICA KLYMCHUK

STAFF REPORTER

jklymchuk@kamloopsthisweek.com

A young Traci Anderson once wrote a letter to Santa — a letter the now-executive director of the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops unearthed while reviewing the club’s archives in anticipation of its 60th anniversary.

A 1982 article about Christmas events at the club, including the then 10-year-old’s letter, was sitting amongst hundreds of newspaper stories and memorabilia — remnants from the first camp held in Clearwater and old membership cards.

Much of it will be displayed today when the Boys and Girls Club celebrates the milestone.

“We really strive to have a place, a club where all kids belong,” Anderson said.

“That is how it was then and that’s how we are now.”

The club was founded in 1955

by Kamloops Sentinel photographer Keith Pattinson and RCMP officer Harold Foulger.

Then called the Boys Club of Kamloops, it essentially began as a club to keep boys out of trouble, Anderson said.

They played basketball, camped, boxed

and learned archery.

“I had previously met with a couple of our charter members and it was interesting to hear some of their stories,” she said.

“I was a deer in the headlights listening to how much trouble they were in and how it was the club for a lot of them that turned their lives around.”

Programs were offered out of the Kamloops Athletic Association into the 1970s and, after a campaign to raise funds for a new facility, construction of a youth centre began on McArthur Island in 1974.

The club used school gymnasiums for its programs during this time and, with the start of satellite programming, girls began to participate.

The McArthur Island facility was demolished last year and the club moved into the new John Tod Centre after another bout of extensive fundraising.

Through the 1960s and the 1970s, Anderson said the club’s development was slower.

By the 1980s, it saw immense growth, with programs constantly evolving and expanding.

Into the 2000s, the exponential growth only continued, she said.

Today, its programming has stretched to involve early child-

hood and family development, in addition to after-school activities and recreation.

The club serves close to 700 children, youth and families each year and provides 7,500 hours of programming.

Last year, it served close to 140,000 meals.

Power Start — an early-morning program that transports kids to school and ensures they have a nutritious breakfast — serves almost more children than the Boys and Girls Club’s after-school program, Anderson said.

The club is also involved in the A Way Home committee, an initiative to end youth homelessness in Kamloops.

“I’m really excited about youth services and how our community is really getting out there and supporting youth, more than I’ve ever seen in the 20 years I’ve been involved,” Anderson said.

“We’re really excited about our future in the community.”

The Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops is celebrating its 60th anniversary today at the John Tod Centre with a casual and fun barbecue and games from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The centre is located at Wood Street and McGowan Avenue in North Kamloops.

‘IT WAS A SHOCK MENTALLY ‘

Tragically Hip guitarist Paul Langlois was diagnosed with sudden hearing loss in 2011, but it won’t stop him from taking the stage at Sandman Centre on Sunday.

MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

“

The last goal he ever scored (in overtime) won the Leafs the Cup.” In brackets is deaf-in-one-ear Paul Langlois coming in high, augmenting Gord Downie’s ultra-recognizable booming voice in the Tragically Hip’s 50 Mission Cap, one of six singles off the 1992 Fully Completely album.

“Gord’s voice, certainly in a lot of songs over the course of the records we’ve made, is pretty baritone, so it’s pretty easy for me to get up on top and find something that works,” said Langlois, who spoke to KTW from Minneapolis on Monday.

When the Fully Completely Tour arrives at Sandman Centre on Sunday, Downie will take centre stage and captivate the audience with his distinct voice, jerky gyrations and gift for off-the-cuff poetry.

Langlois and Gord Sinclair will make their money with guitars, ripping through classics such as Looking for a Place to Happen, but their vocal contributions should not be overlooked.

“There’s actually quite a few back-up vocals on Fully,” said Langlois, who is particularly fond of his parts in Pigeon Camera.

“I’ve always enjoyed doing them.”

The show in Kamloops starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at ticketmaster.ca.

On Dec. 9, 2011, Langlois woke up and the hearing in his right ear was gone.

“

That was my gig. It’s my living.

”

—PAUL LANGLOIS

He was diagnosed with sudden hearing loss, a rare condition affecting about 4,000 people per year in the U.S. “As I gradually accepted in the couple weeks after it happened that it wasn’t coming back, I was a little worried,” said Langlois, who remembers playing Hip shows in the Thompson Hotel in downtown Kamloops.

“Was the producer going to come up to me and say, ‘You’re not really in key there.’

“I’m very used to it now, but it was a shock mentally at the time and I was actually worried about that.

That was my gig. It’s my living.”

Langlois will be positioned stageright on Sunday, so his left ear, the one that still works, faces the music.

He’ll still be battling to stay on key, but not because of hearing loss.

Instead, he and Sinclair will endeavour to play Fully Completely — and sing their parts — to the best of their ability, attempting to master what is one of their most-technical albums.

“We thought there was potential that we might get a little bored with it, but it’s a chal-

lenging record to play, so it keeps all of us on our toes to give it its due and play it as well as we can,” said Langlois, who has family scattered across the B.C. Interior.

Listen for Langlois on Courage, 100th Meridian and 50 Mission Cap. In fact, his voice features on most of the album’s tracks.

Hardcore Hip fans will already know what he and Sinclair bring to the table vocally. Those who don’t will find out Sunday not every part they sing along to in the car belongs to Downie.

“It’s nice to keep busy when you’re up there,” Langlois said.

“I’ve always been a fan of back-ups in general. If we find something, we go with it.”

I DON’T HAVE A FEVER...

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 musculoskeletal and orthopaedic conditions have a hard time healing due to the development of unhealthy, disorganized tissue in the are of injury. Over time, this dysfunctional tissue limits the body’s ability to repair.

Seasonal Halloween shops have opened throughout the city, including Halloween Alley, where five-year-old Jackson Haines tried on a clown costume (left) and Isaac and Matteus Teichreib staged a sword fight.

This is Halloween Kamloops Museum and Archives, 207 Seymour St., is getting read for spooks and goblins.

Victorian Halloween starts off the museum’s events on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 10 a.m. to noon with a family friendly event of spooky stories told by candlelight, passing around a fortune ball and making Halloween masks.

Guided tours of the Pleasant Street cemetery will be offered on Tuesday, Oct. 27, and Wednesday, Oct. 28, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

The museum is welcoming Chimera Theatre from Oct. 29 to Oct. 31 for a scavenger hunt and puzzle game with a twist — a madman is on the loose and you must escape before he finds you.

There are two performances

of the murder mystery, to be held at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, 7 West Seymour St., each night.

Reservations are recommended by calling the museum at 250-828-3576.

All aboard for a spooky ride

Tickets for the Ghost Train go on sale on Oct. 1.

The Halloween-themed ride aboard the recently fixed 2141

steam engine will be at 7 p.m. on Oct. 23, Oct. 24 and Oct. 29 to Oct. 31, with a 2 p.m. ride — the only one suitable for children — on Oct. 31.

Tickets are $29 for adults, $24 for seniors, $20 for youth ages 13 to 18 and $15 for children ages four to 12.

GLOBAL VIEWS

Migrants: The shape of things to come

T

he sheer dithering cluelessness of the European Union’s leaders, faced with an unexpected surge in the number of migrants seeking refugee status in EU countries, challenges all of our previous definitions of incompetence.

A new standard has been set.

All of a sudden, in July, the main stream of refugees arriving in Europe switched from the trans-Mediterranean track out of Libya to the Aegean Sea, where the crossing from the Turkish coast to the Greek islands just offshore is less than one-tenth as far.

People are drowning on this Aegean route, too, but far fewer of them.

They don’t want to stay in Greece, of course — and, although Greece is part of the Schengen area, which abolishes border controls between most EU members, it has no

GWYNN DYER

World

WATCH common border with any other Schengen member.

Migrants wishing to claim refugee status in some richer EU country must therefore trek on up through the Balkans, seeking to reach some other Schengen country like Hungary or Slovenia.

They don’t want to stay in those countries, either, but once they are in any Schengen country other than Greece, they can travel on freely to their real destinations, usually Germany, Sweden or France.

Or, at least they could until about two weeks ago.

Then the panic started.

Heading up from Greece, the migrants first reached Macedonia (not a Schengen country).

It tried to protect its border for a while, then realized they just wanted to cross Macedonia and let them all through.

Serbia (also not a Schengen country) did the same, which delivered them to the southern border of Hungary.

Hungary has been building a threemetre-high razor-wire fence along its southern frontier to keep asylum seekers out and it used considerable violence against the mostly Syrian refugees at first.

Then Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel, wearing her Lady Bountiful cloak, announced Germany would accept as many as wanted to come.

So, Hungary opened its border and the refugees surged through, on their way to Austria and thence to Germany.

That lasted precisely two days.

Then Merkel panicked at the numbers arriving in Germany and “temporarily” closed the border with Austria. So, to stop refugees from piling up in Austria, Vienna closed the border with Hungary — and Hungary shut its border with Serbia for the same reason.

The refugees stuck on the Hungarian border turned left and headed for Croatia (not a Schengen member).

Croatian Prime Minister Zoran

www.kamloopsdodge.com

BRING IN THIS AD AND RECEIVE 10% OFF KEEN WORKBOOTS!

Milanovic declared his government was “entirely ready to receive or direct those people where they want to go, which is obviously Germany or Scandinavian countries.”

He knew they really just wanted to cross Croatia to get into Slovenia or Hungary (which are Schengen members).

But, 24 hours later, the Croatian government, shocked by the numbers that were coming, shut its border, too. Croatian Interior Minister Ranko Ostojic said his country was “absolutely full” and told the migrants: “Don’t come here any more. Stay in refugee centres in Serbia and Macedonia and Greece. This is not the road to Europe.”

Meanwhile, Hungary declared it was extending its razor-wire fence to cover the border with Croatia and Slovenia began to stop trains coming from Croatia to search for refugees.

EU governments are trying to come up with a coherent common policy, but don’t hold your breath while waiting for the good news.

The EU probably will sort it out eventually because the numbers are not really all that huge.

About 500,000 migrants (most of whom will claim refugee status) have entered the European Union this year, which is only one per cent of the EU’s population.

It is not beyond the wit of the EU’s leaders to work out legal ways to send false

claimants home, to settle the refugees already in Europe and to strengthen the EU’s external border controls.

Some lasting damage may be done to the EU’s ideals in the process but, for most practical purposes, life in Europe will return to normal — for a while.

However, this refugee crisis is only a rehearsal for the main event, which will probably arrive in 10 or 20 years.

It will be driven by global warming, which will devastate agriculture in the Middle East and North Africa and produce a five- or tenfold increase in the number of refugees heading for Europe.

This is not what might happen if the world’s governments don’t make the right deal at the climate summit in Paris in December. This is what almost certainly will happen even if they do make the right deal now.

A considerable amount of warming is already locked into the system no matter what we do about the climate now — enough to produce that kind of refugee flow in the future.

There is not the slightest sign that EU policy makers have taken this on board.

If they are taken by surprise again, the European Union may collapse — and so may several southern European states.

CALGARY — Employees at pipeline builder TransCanada were informed this week that more job cuts are coming.

Spokesman James Millar says the oil

downturn has had a profound impact on the company’s customers, so it must do whatever it can to reduce costs.

Millar says about a fifth of senior lead-

ership positions are expected to be cut when layoffs and retirements are taken into account and it’s not clear yet how many jobs below that level may be eliminated.

PRE-OWNED www.kamloopsdodge.com

THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — La Presse is laying off 158 employees as it prepares to eliminate its weekday printed newspaper in January.

The Frenchlanguage newspaper says it is cutting 102 permanent and 56 temporary positions.

They include 43 newsroom positions.

However, La Presse says it will still have the largest newsroom in Quebec with 283 employees compared with 239 in 2011, before it began hiring to create a digital offering called La Presse Plus.

The job cuts include unionized, non-unionized and management positions.

La Presse says the departure of unionized positions will be determined in accordance with collective agreements, including seniority.

After the job cuts, the paper will have 633 permanent positions.

The print edition of the 131-year-old paper will only be available on Saturdays after Jan. 1.

Publisher Guy Crevier has said more than 460,000 people read the digital paper weekly.

The number of paid print subscribers decreased to 81,000 from 161,000 when the tablet was launched.

Most of the remaining readers are expected to go digital.

Three quarters of La Presse’s advertising revenues are expected to flow from the tablet in December, plus 10 per cent from its other mobile and web platforms.

Torstar and the parent company of La Presse hold investments in The Canadian Press as part of a joint agreement with a subsidiary of the Globe and Mail.

COURT DOCUMENTS: ACCUSED KILLER HAD BRUSHES WITH LAW THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Basil Borutski, the man charged with firstdegree murder in the slayings of three women in eastern Ontario, has a criminal history that includes allegations and convictions of violent behaviour toward his ex-wife and former girlfriends.

Borutski’s daughters even described him as a “violent, easily agitated and tyrannical,’’ according to an Ontario Superior Court judgment that granted a divorce to Basil and Mary Ann Borutski

in 2011 and ordered Borutski to pay his exwife almost $93,000.

Mary Ann Borutski alleged a “steady regimen of domestic violence,’’ including domestic assault in 1985. Borutski stood trial on assault charges and “successfully defended those charges,’’ the divorce judgment said.

“The pattern that repeated itself over the years is that after reporting an assault [true or not] they would patch things up and Mary Ann recanted, either before trial or at trial,’’ the judgment said.

Daughters Candace and Amanda, however, “verified their mother’s version of the dysfunction in the marriage and confirmed that Basil was violent, easily agitated and tyrannical toward his family members.’’

“Candace testified to having vivid memory of Basil’s violence toward Mary Ann dating back to the early years in the vehicle that included hair pulling, slapping and an attempt to push Mary Ann from the moving vehicle,’’ the judgment stated.

Borutski, however, “vehemently denies

having ever assaulted Mary Ann. He asserts that she is vindictive and manipulates the justice system by making false charges,’’ the court document stated.

On Wednesday in a courtroom in Pembroke, Ont., Borutski was charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the slayings of 36-yearold Anastasia Kuzyk, 48-year-old Nathalie Warmerdam and Carol Culleton, 66. He was remanded in custody until Oct. 5.

In the years following his divorce from Mary Ann Borutski, the one-time millwright

faced more allegations of violence from Kuzyk and Warmerdam, two women he dated.

In 2012, he is alleged to have assaulted Warmerdam, to have threatened to hurt one of her family members and to kill a family pet.

He was convicted of making threats and breaking a door while he lived with Warmerdam, court documents show. The assault charge was stayed by the Crown.

In a separate incident in 2012, Borutski was also convicted of assaulting a provincial police officer during

an arrest. He was also found guilty of assaulting his cousin, Stanley Borutski, a jail guard, during the same time.

In 2014, he was charged with assault causing bodily harm after Kuzyk accused him of choking her.

He was also accused of burning some of Kuzyk’s possessions, including some antiques, and of stealing a car from a member of her family as well as violating a probation order that required him to keep the peace.

Those alleged incidents took place in December 2013 and

January 2014.

Borutski was convicted a year ago of stealing a vehicle, assault, choking, mischief of property, operating a motor vehicle while being prohibited from driving, two counts of breach of a probation order and possessing a firearm while also banned from owning one.

He served more than 18 months in jail following the convictions and had paid hundreds of dollars in fines to his victims over the years. His brother, Will Borutski, says he was freed from jail in recent months.

DALHOUSIE STUDENT CHARGED WITH MURDER BACK IN COURT NEXT MONTH THE CANADIAN PRESS

HALIFAX — The case of a 22-year-old man charged in the death of a fellow student at Dalhousie University in Halifax will return to court next month.

William Sandeson, who faces a charge of first-degree murder, was represented by his lawyer and did not appear in provincial court Thursday.

Defence attorney Eugene Tan told the court he had just received evidence disclosure from the Crown and needs time to study the information.

The matter was adjourned until Oct. 23, and Sandeson will seek bail in hearings on Oct. 21 and Oct. 22.

Sandeson was charged on

Aug. 20, four days after Taylor Samson was reported missing in Halifax.

Samson’s body has not been found.

Tan said he expects a preliminary inquiry would take about two weeks to complete, though dates for that have not yet been set.

Outside court he said the disclosure he received was redacted, with the names of witnesses blacked out. He said it’s an unusual move that he didn’t see any reason for, because his client doesn’t have a criminal record.

He said there are two reasons for names to be redacted.

“One is because it’s irrelevant, that’s certainly not the

case here,’’ said Tan. ”And two is that it’s privileged and again I don’t see that’s the case.’’

Crown attorney Susan MacKay said the blacking out of witness names was simply a mistake that was the result of a miscommunication between herself and police.

MacKay said she had only meant personal information such as addresses and phone numbers should be redacted and that Tan would be getting the names in the documents.

“It was never intended that he would not be provided the names of the witnesses involved,’’ she said.

It’s the second issue Tan has had when it comes to evidence in the case.

Woman alleges illegal search, says Mounties threatened to take her kids THE CANADIAN PRESS

BELLA COOLA, B.C. — A First Nations woman from B.C.’s central coast is suing the province after two Mounties allegedly threatened to seize her three young children if she didn’t let them search her vehicle for marijuana and crack cocaine.

Kimberly Mack appeared in provincial court in Bella Coola yesterday asking to be compensated $15,000 for what she alleges was an illegal search that failed to turn up any drugs.

“When I meet up with the cops now I feel a lot of anger,’’ said Mack in an interview.

“When I think they can get away with so much I feel angry towards them.

“I would just like an apology. That’s my main thing.’’

RCMP Cpl. William Wallace, Const. Nick Jenkins and B.C.’s

w

attorney general are named in the lawsuit.

A notice of civil claim states Mack was driving back to Bella Coola on May 28, 2010, with friends and family from a potlatch in Vancouver, when she parked outside a grocery store close to home for a washroom break.

Acting on an anonymous tip, police pulled alongside the vehicle and asked Mack for permission to search her vehicle, the notice states.

“They said, ‘Kim, if you do not let us search your van we will get the (Ministry of Children and Family Development) involved. We’ll get the dogs to search your van if you’re not going to help us,’’’ said Mack in an interview.

“I felt that I had to say yes to them.’’

The notice states the officers arrested Mack in front of her eight-, four-year-old

and 15-month-old children and searched the entire van, even tearing off the vehicle’s panelling.

“I was scared,’’ she said, about the public search.

“I felt embarrassed.

Very embarrassed.’’

Mack said she later lost customers from her home-based convenience store and kept her eldest daughter out of school for a month, until life returned to normal.

“I didn’t even want to walk into the grocery store,’’ she added.

The RCMP and the province’s Ministry of Justice and Attorney General said they couldn’t comment because the case was before the court.

The ministry also referred questions to the federal Department of Justice because the RCMP was involved in the case.

Doug King, a Pivot Legal Society lawyer, is representing Mack and

her co-plaintiff, Demi King.

He said they made a conscious decision to try the case in Bella Coola circuit court and not in a larger city, such as Vancouver.

“The heart of the case is about small communities — especially aboriginal communities — and how

they’re policed by the RCMP,’’ he said.

“This is really a case about a family that was totally innocent and had their life turned upside down.’’

The police allegedly didn’t have a warrant, despite having ample time to secure one, said King.

Mack said she

wasn’t read her rights, either.

King said he hopes the case highlights the importance of legal mechanisms that keep police accountable.

He said the biggest issues in the case was the officers’ threat to remove Mack’s children, especially given the fraught history

that exists between the state and aboriginal communities.

“A threat to take away somebody’s children is not a minor threat,’’ said King.

A date has not been set for the defendants to present their case, but that stage is expected to take place in Vancouver.

ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — The professor involved in a controversy at Memorial University of Newfoundland says a hearing-impaired student who claims she failed to accommodate him has “selective amnesia.’’

station VOCM, history professor Ranee Panjabi says William Sears rebuffed her offer to discuss alternatives to the FM transmitter.

She says a 1996 agreement with the school allowing her to refuse to wear the device on religious grounds is binding.

Panjabi says Sears “regretfully displayed

flashes of selective amnesia’’ as he accused her in the media of refusing to accommodate him.

She says she has been vilified, threatened and subjected to ”a witch hunt and a three-ring circus.’’

She blames the university’s Blundon Centre for Students with Disabilities for not

properly informing her of the need for accommodation before Sears arrived at her class Sept. 10. Sears is pursuing a complaint with the Newfoundland and Labrador Human Rights Commission.

The university has apologized to Sears and says it’s reviewing how its accommodation procedures failed.

enmark’s compact capital is perfect for exploring afoot.

Strolling from our hotel past the bustling train station, we soon arrive in Copenhagen’s historic centre.

Bronze dragons line lofty City Hall’s terrace. A golden statue above its main entry represents Bishop Absalon, the city’s 12th century founder.

Denmark’s beloved writer of children’s tales sits on the sidewalk below. A bronzecast Hans Christian Anderson gazes approvingly toward today’s cyclists whizzing along his namesake Boulevard and Tivoli Gardens, the world’s second oldest amusement park.

In the age-old shopping district, we encounter Round Tower. King Christian IV built this observatory as part of Copenhagen’s medieval university. A stone bust of Tycho Brahe recalls his nightly planet study.

Nearby, lies Denmark’s oldest royal garden and Rosenborg Castle.

Topped with step-gable roofs and lofty green-topped towers, its Dutch Renaissance architecture invites investigation. Two 17th century bronze lions flank the entrance.

A storyboard explains Christian IV created this fairytale castle, where his descendants resided for another 100 years.

Rooms exhibit royal artifacts spanning the late 16th to 19th century, including etched glassware, clocks, crockery, royal portraits and Danish landscapes. The small indoor yellow-tiled bathroom reveals their

On the top floor, the grand reception area features a collection of silver chairs; three silver lions frisk in front of two ornate, gilded thrones.

A Danish Coat of Arms embellishes the stucco ceiling.

“Long Hall’s wall tapestries depict Denmark’s victories against Sweden during the Scania wars,” a docent explains.

“Those side reliefs illustrate Frederik IV’s decrees, most notably the serfs liberation.”

Outside, we sniff around the rose garden where a larger-than-life statue of dowager Queen Caroline Amalie dwells.

Continuing through the main garden and into surrounding neighborhoods, we eventually arrive at Kastellet, an old fort now one of many city parks. Decorative canons still point seaward.

A large memorial honours dock workers near the busy waterfront. Just beyond, famed Little Mermaid perches on a rock.

Perhaps paying homage to Anderson’s most beloved tale, crowds gather, many snapping photos.

Further along rises Gefion Fountain, a marble extravaganza. Here, Goddess Gefion encourages her four transfigured sons, depicted as oxen, to rip off a piece of Sweden. This mythical act produces Zealand, Denmark’s main island.

Ahead, dockside buildings reflect

Maersk’s longstanding contributions to Denmark. One has windows displaying model vessels of this shipping company.

Nearby, Michelangelo’s David fronts redbrick West India Warehouse. Once enclosing slaves, it now celebrates the human body.

Inside, the royal cast collection of more than 2,000 naked plaster statues and reliefs exhibit worldly artwork from antiquity to the Renaissance.

From waterside Amalie Garden, we veer upward past a magnificent fountain to Amalienborg Castle, where four identical neo-classical palaces border an octagonal courtyard.

Here, an equestrian statue honours Frederik V, who developed this 18th-century castle.

He also developed the surrounding district and its iconic domed Marble Church, long serving Danish Lutherans.

Ambling again along the waterfront, we admire the modernistic Opera House, bestowed by Maersk’s owner and Black Diamond, the Royal Danish Library’s extension sparkling with polished black granite.

Heritage buildings line Nyhavn Canal.

This charming neighbourhood contains Hans Christian Anderson’s former apartment.

At Anderson Pub, we quaff Carlsberg ales, munch ham sandwiches and talk about Danes’ comprehensive welfare, free University courses and no-cost health care.

While paying the bill, I ask, “What makes Denmark the happiest place on Earth?” Our waitress laughs. “Definitely the Carlsberg!”

Energized, we cross a canal bridge, pass through some eclectic architecture

and behold Holmens Church, a Dutch Renaissance treasure.

Across the next canal stands baroque Christiansborg Palace, home of the Danish Parliament, Prime Minister’s office and Danish Supreme Court. A statue of Frederik VII celebrates his role in establishing today’s constitutional monarchy.

Beside this repurposed palace stretches fanciful redbrick Børsen, which sports 11 step-gabled dormers.

Three dragon tails entwine a lofty spire rising from its tarnished green roof. We read it was Denmark’s trading centre in 1619, then served centuries later as Stock Exchange.

Behind the palace, a 400-year-old brew house now houses white statuary gathered mostly from royal gardens and palaces.

So, the Lapidarium presents the haunting encounter of 300 ghostly Danes from bygone eras.

Minutes later, we enter the sun-lit atrium of Glyptotek Museum.

A pink granite hippo greets us at the start of a saunter among Europe’s finest artwork. A mosaic depicts an early brewery hinting at its benefactor, Carlsberg’s owner.

Our 11-kilometre loop around Copenhagen encompasses castles, parks, heritage buildings and public art.

This cityscape reveals Danes’ proud history and their love of imagination, education, enterprise, community spirit — and good beer.

KTW has looked ahead to the 2015-2016 Kamloops Blazers’ campaign by addressing five areas of the team in a series that started on Aug. 27 and finishes today. In the final instalment, the focus moves to Don Hay and the impact he can make in his second year back behind the bench. Each story in the series is posted online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Tom Gaglardi expects the Kamloops Blazers to finish the regular season in the middle of the pack in the Western Conference, at the very least.

The team’s majority owner said as much in an interview with KTW after the Blazers failed to qualify for the post-season in 20142015.

Head coach Don Hay was asked about expectations for 2015-2016, his second year back behind the Blazers’ bench, and his objective is simple: “Our goal is to make the playoffs and we expect to be there,” he told a scrum of reporters on Tuesday.

Kamloops finished last season with 63 points — 30 points better than its total in 2013-2014, the worst campaign in franchise history — and nearly qualified for the postseason.

“It looked like a Don Hay-coached team the last third of the season,” Gaglardi said.

“We really just thought with Don we’d be able to will our way into the playoffs and we came up a couple points short.”

There was always going to be a learning curve for players adapting to Hay’s no-nonsense style of coaching, a philosophy centred around hard work, the type of blood, sweat and tears some can’t handle.

Perhaps the most-promising news for Blazers’ fans is returning players proved last season they could deal with the heat and, with one year under their belts learning from one of the game’s great teachers, there is potential for major growth.

“At our first meeting, we had 24 players there and 22 had played for our team the year previously,” Hay said.

“They know what I expect now. They know the routine, on and off the ice.

They’ve embraced it.”

Hay kept on coming back to one word — improvement — when addressing the media earlier this week.

“Each year, there are always new challenges to bring the group together and to get them playing the way you want them to play, and with the thought process you want them to have,” Hay said.

“We’d love to have it happen overnight, but it doesn’t always work that way. We thought we improved throughout the year last year. We want to see more improvement.”

So do season-ticket holders. So does the team’s ownership group. So does general manager Craig Bonner. So do the young men who will pull on the jerseys for Game 1 tonight in Kelowna.

“Everyone was kind of feeling [last season] like it was too hard of practices and he [Hay] was yelling at everyone,” said Blazers’ 17-year-old forward Jake Kryski.

“This year, you know what to expect, so it seems a bit easier.”

Kryski, Quinn Benjafield, Jermaine Loewen, Deven Sideroff, Dawson Davidson — fans who attended games regularly last season will have seen those players struggle through teaching moments, with Hay speaking sternly to them on the bench.

He does that for a reason.

“It’s important the players understand that, when you push them, you want to make them better,” Hay said.

“It’s to help them become good hockey players, but also good young men, so they can have success in whatever field they choose.”

The army of NHL players who learned under Hay are proof tough love can work.

Whether this particular group has fully bought in, and whether it’s talented enough to meet Gaglardi’s expectations, will be decided this season.

Ingram No. 1 guy in Kamloops crease MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Craig Bonner gambled on goaltenders last season and Connor Ingram flopped on the river.

The Kamloops Blazers’ general manager went with two untested 17-year-old netminders — Ingram and Cole Kehler — when he shipped 20-year-old Bolton Pouliot to the Portland Winterhawks in October.

Ingram followed an up-anddown first half by posting stellar numbers from January onward — 15-10-1-1, with a 2.69 goalsagainst average and .914 save percentage — to lock up the starting job, while Kehler finished the campaign 3-14-2 with a GAA of 4.65 and a .855 save percentage.

Ingram, who was invited by the Detroit Red Wings to attend the NHL Prospect Tournament in Traverse City, Mich., from Sept. 11 to Sept. 15, is the man in Kamloops heading into the 20152016 season.

The affable netminder from Imperial, Sask., now has to prove last season was

no flash in the pan.

“It’s a completely different mindset this season. I’m coming in here wanting to be a leader and be vocal,” Ingram said.

“Last year was a start. I have more to give this year.”

The competition for the back-up position was fierce, with Kehler, who turns 18 in December, and Lantzville product Dylan Ferguson, who turned 17 on Sept. 20, trying to stake their claim in the crease.

Ferguson will start the 20152016 WHL season as the backup goaltender, with Kehler having been reassigned to the junior A ranks on Tuesday.

“It’s mixed feelings for me,” Ferguson told KTW shortly after hearing news of Kehler’s reassignment.

“Me and Cole got along pretty well. He was driving me places, to school, and it was a friendly competition for sure. We had nothing against each other that I know of and I wish him the best this year.”

Kehler, 18, played in 32 games over the past two seasons for the Blazers, posting a 4.79 goalsagainst average and a .856 save percentage.

Ferguson, 17, played last season with the midget AAA Notre Dame Hounds, posting a save percentage of .907 and GAA of 2.70 in 25 games.

He appeared in three preseason WHL games in September, posting a GAA of 3.10 and a save percentage of .887.

“It’s another dream come true for me,” Ferguson said.

“I’ve put a lot of work in to get here and I’m glad it paid off.”

Blazers’ majority owner Tom Gaglardi was critical of the team’s decision to go with two young goaltenders last season — “Going into the season with two 17-yearold goaltenders, in retrospect, might not have been the right thing to do,” he said — but Ingram’s emergence is due, in part, to how much ice he saw in 2014-2015.

Should Ingram pick up where he left off last season, the Blazers can look forward to solid goaltending in 2015-2016.

“My game feels good right now,” Ingram said.

“Having another year of experience is going to help a lot. It’s good to come back that much more ahead this year.”

Ask Jermaine Loewen . . .

MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

KTW sat down with Jermaine Loewen of the Kamloops Blazers to ask him a few questions about hockey and life outside the rink. Here’s what the 6-foot3, 205-pound Jamaicanborn forward had to say:

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Jermaine Loewen of the Kamloops Blazers fought Aaron Macklin of the Prince George Cougars in pre-season WHL play at Sandman Centre on Sept. 4. During a quiz with KTW, the Blazers’ Jamaican-born forward said a tilt against teammate Luke Harrison is a scary prospect.

KTW: What’s on your iPod right now?

JL: I like to listen to reggae. Jah Cure is my favourite artist. He’s got a nice groove to him and it’s Jamaican style. It’s good. I like listening to rap, but pretty much anything that has a good beat gets me going.

KTW: Of the current Kamloops Blazers, who would you be scared to fight?

JL: Luke Harrison. He’s been in some pretty big scraps. He’s a pretty tough guy. Ryan Rehill — I’d be pretty scared of him, too.

KTW: If Don Hay and Terry Bangen had a race on skates, who would win?

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

JL: Don Hay. He does train a lot in crossfit. Terry Bangen might be right behind, but Don trains every day at the rink.

KTW: What’s your favourite food?

JL: I like jerk chicken and rice. I don’t get to eat it very often. My billet mom might make it every once in a while and I’ll help.

KTW: Do you know there is a Jamaican restaurant in town?

JL: Jam-Can Cafe. I’ve been there. I’m really good friends with the owner.

KTW: When you get your first goal, what do you think your celebration is going to be?

JL: Oh, I’d probably just raise my hands above my head. I’ll be very happy once that puck goes in the net. It will be raucous in this place.

People are going be pretty pumped up. It’s gonna come.

KTW: Who will lead the Blazers in scoring?

JL: I’m thinking it’s going to be Deven Sideroff.

KTW: Is there one player in the league who really gets on your nerves?

JL: I can’t think of any guy in particular. There are just some guys that try and get on my nerves. There’s not one [nemesis] yet, but it’s going to come.

KTW: Do you have any pre-game superstitions?

JL: Not really. I like to take a 20- or 30-minute nap and then focus on what I want to do in the game and be relaxed in the moment, have fun with the game.

KTW: Which Blazer is the best passer of the puck?

JL: I would say Jake Kryski’s a real good passer.

Jesse Zaharichuk also has the vision to pass the puck.

KTW: What’s your favourite fast-food burger?

JL: I like the double Big Mac. I never eat them during hockey season. That’s the right thing to say.

The roster

The Kamloops Blazers had 24 players on their roster as of Wednesday: Forwards: Erik Miller, 16, Jake Kryski, 17, Garrett Pilon, 17, Jermaine Loewen, 17, Quinn Benjafield, 17, Jesse Zaharichuk, 18, Deven Sideroff, 18, Spencer Bast, 18, Matthew Campese, 18, Nick Chyzowski, 18, Matt Revel, 19, Collin Shirley, 19, Luke Harrison, 19, Matt Needham, 20, Defencemen: Nolan Kneen, 16, Conner McDonald, 16, Ondrej Vala, 17, Dawson Davidson, 17, Cameron Reagan, 18, 18, Patrik Maier, 18, Ryan Rehill, 19, and Marc McNulty, 20.

Goaltenders: Dylan Ferguson, 17, and Connor Ingram, 18.

SIDSATIONAL

Deven Sideroff had a breakout season in 2014-2015 and was picked by the Anaheim Ducks in the third round at the NHL Draft in June. Cole Ully’s (right) exodus leaves a 94-point hole to fill for Kamloops’ forwards in 2015-2016 and Sideroff is expected to be among the Blazers’ scoring leaders. The Summerland product was not drafted into the WHL, but made his way onto the Blazers’ roster after impressing at the Okanagan Hockey Academy in Penticton. Sideroff, 18, had 17 goals and 42 points in 64 games with the Blazers last season.

2014-2015 WHL Western Conference standings ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Garrett Pilon (right) is among the 17-year-old Blazer forwards poised to break through at the major-junior level, along with Jermaine Loewen, Quinn Benjafield and Jake Kryski.

3-ON-3 OT AMONG RULE CHANGES The Western Hockey League unveiled a series of rule changes for the 2015-2016 season at a press conference this month in Regina.

Most of the changes have also been adopted by the National Hockey League and were tested during the WHL pre-season.

Similar to the NHL, the WHL has adopted a three-

on-three overtime format for regular-season games, replacing the four-on-four format. As in previous years, teams will go to a shootout if overtime fails to

produce a winner.

A series of rules govern power plays in overtime, and at no time will a team be permitted to have fewer than three players on the ice.

If one team is assessed a penalty, the opposing squad will add a skater.

The league has also adjusted the size of both the hash marks and the goaltender’s trapezoid.

ENTER VALA

The Kamloops Blazers went to the Czech Republic for their latest European import. Ondrej Vala, the 17-year-old D-man picked 11th overall by the Blazers at the CHL Import Draft in June, joins a young cast of Kamloops defencemen. Should sizeable, veteran defencemen Marc McNulty and Ryan Rehill return for their overage seasons, they will occupy top-four spots, likely alongside 19-yearold Slovakian import Patrik Maier and 17-year-old Dawson Davidson. Cam Reagan is the lone 18-yearold rearguard remaining on the roster, with Travis Verveda having been reassigned last week. Nolan Kneen and Conner McDonald are the Blazers’ 16-year-old defencemen. Kneen became the highest WHL Bantam Draft pick in team history when he was selected third overall in 2014.

McDonald, Kneen’s old defence partner at the North Shore Winter Club, was picked 24th overall that year.
